Getting Delay, without using any effects...
🕑 Added 2018-02-24 21:56:12 +0000 UTC Trying out a new concept where we recreate different guitar effects, but entirely acoustically. Delay seemed like the best place to start!Hope you enjoy and thanks for allowing bigger projects like this to have a budget.

Oh jeez, that would be a disaster haha
BP
This turned out fantastic, I don’t know how you are going to pull that off live on stage :)
Rob Scallon
Yea!
Rob Scallon
Maaaaybe... but probably not :/ All of the vinyls are at the warehouse and there's still a lot in stock.If I'm every in Montana that might be a great Idea to sign another hundred. But currently I'm not sure when's the next time I'll be there.
Adriel Casellas
Thanks Rob! Any advice on what Bass strings you would use for this? I was thinking D'Addario nickel wound since they have always sounded really bright to me. I'm not sure if there are any that are really great for harmonics.
laurentian ghost
Are the books ordered like 2 days ago gonna be signed?
Henrik Gram
Any chance of a new set of signed vinyls being released? :)
Rob Scallon
Yea!
Lucas Sneyers
I just pledged am I gonna be on the book
Alex Hubbard
Thanks Rob I just pre ordered one!
Rob Scallon

Rob Scallon
Much thank Joey!~
Rob Scallon
hahah yea some of the reaches are a bit of a stretch. That tune can be tricky. Particularly the bridge often gives me trouble. But with a good amount of practice and a bright amp setting I'm sure you'll nail it. Good luck at the talent show! :)
Alex Hubbard
How do preorder a copy? I’d love to get your autograph!
Rob Scallon
That's so cool to hear Alexander thanks! I'm really glad that this song stuck around, it's an older one. I didn't even own an amp at the time it was written, had to go to friend's houses to play. I guess being so new to writing might have had be crucial to a song like this being made... idk anyway, glad you enjoy it! have a good one :)
Rob Scallon
Thank you so much! We so much appreciate the upfront budget the patreon page gives us to make these.
Rob Scallon
We send the book to the printer tomorrow, then it's made, shipped to me, I sign the preorders and get it to DFTBA. So there's a lot of hoops it goes through and at this point I don't want to give an exact date because I'm honestly not sure. But to be safe, I'm saying they should be shipping out in a month :) haha thanks for the patience
Alex Hubbard
When does the tab book come out?
Olivia De Koster
This is so beautifully done, as all of your videos are. Absolutely stunning keep on doing what you're doing!
Alexander Kiss
This is one of my all time time favorite songs from you, it was so cool to see this video. I just had to super subcribe instantly to you, even though its not much. Thanks for putting vids out, you are my favorite guitar player :).
Adriel Casellas
Rob you are a boss. I'm glad you were able to get it before the day finished out. By the way, I'll be performing a cover of A Collapse soon at a talent show. Thanks for writing that song with those absurdly ridiculous reaches!
Joey Denemy
Great video Rob! I love all the creative and original videos that you have come out with over the years, and this is no exception! Keep up the great work!
Rob Scallon
Thank you! it's been fun to show a bit more of the process in the videos.
Rob Scallon
So glad! Yea things were getting pretty tense there towards the end. Thankfully we got it, we maybe had 10-15 more takes we could do before we needed to leave.
Rob Scallon
Thanks and haha no not yet But printing the books doesn't take very much time so it won't be long :) Unlike when we did the vinyls which took months.
Rob Scallon
Thanks Matt! and maybe I've just heard the original so many times, but I do think the human error and nuance between the delay tracks makes for a more beautiful song.
Jeanine McCarthy
You usually make everything look so easy so I appreciate the last two videos giving us a glimpse of the hard work that goes into your music and videos. Stressful, but amazing!
Jan-Thomas
That was really awesome. This video made my day. :) Reminds me of myself doing countless takes of my own stuff. :) Kind of held my breath too when watching the vid.
Fernando Pérez Lozano
This was really impressive! That's some psychological warfare there haha. Is this point in time far enough into the future for the book to be out already?
Brian Kurokawa
This was a pretty ambitious video, and it turned out great. It was really cool to hear how much simpler Rain sounds without delay on it
Hunter Black
Awesome video man!! Extremely cool concept!
Matt Good
This was so intense. I felt like I had been holidng my breath for a minute when you finished the last take. Good going Rob (and the others!), really great video. Something really interesting about the 'acoustic' delay, it's almost like it's clearer but also the player nuance adds a nice ebb and flow to the piece, as each note isn't exactly the same velocity (as in, it might be quieter in the mix but the guitar is still being played differently), and it's not perfectly in time (although it was VERY well done).
Rob Scallon
Much thanks Matt!
Matt Kouba
I have watched you for a couple years now, the metal on wax was amazing due to the tech, this was amazing cuz you all have wacked out guitar brains, and thank you for that! Peace!
Rob Scallon
We were getting a bit aggravated with each other towards the ends. glad it didn't come to that haha
Rob Scallon
hahaha yea this is definitely the most expensive reverb + delay combo pedal I've ever seen
Samuel Brémont
Great one. Good God, 60 takes... That was either that, or it ended up with some guitar-related(-violence, I guess.
Rob Scallon
Thanks! also, awesome profile picture
Valentino
Awesome video rob I was so anxious on the last take but it sounded amazing! Probably one of the most complicated delay pedals I’ve seen! Good job!!
Alex Hubbard
Awesome!
Andrew
LOVED IT! Loved it! loved it! Such an awesome idea ! Worked out so well in the end
Daniel Latsch
good idea, better performance, best endurance!
Rob Scallon
thank you!
Rob Scallon
:) We were really feeling anxious while shooting towards the end. We only have another half hour or so we could be there, and we had already been there for hours. So glad we managed to get a usable take.
Tim Vinck
Wow, that's awesome! Sounds great! Can't wait to learn the song from the tab book! :)
Ben Hofwolt
Oh god I kept thinking something awful would happen on take 60 and screw it up. I felt anxious just watching, that was fantastic.
