EHX Effetology How to create Crystal-Shimmer Effects
Effectology Vol. 11 Crystal Shimmer Effects.
Hi everybody.
In this episode I demonstrate how to produce some beautiful Crystal Shimmer effects as well as a sound I call Symphonic.
To create the first two clips seen in the video I wired the effect pedals in parallel.
Placing the effects in a parallel chain opens up new and beautiful sounds not possible when using a standard series connection.
Splitting and mixing the chains in parallel would normally require a mixing unit or mixing board but
I found it could be done simply and inexpensively by using just two Radio Shack Y-adapters!
I held the notes out long so you can hear how the sound blooms.
The third example "Symphonic" places the effects back in a series connection.
A volume pedal is used to swell the chords in and remove the attack of the guitar
giving the guitar a string section type sound.
Its a beautiful sound from just one guitar!
The clip is a improvisation on the song "Adagio for Strings"by Samuel Barber.
This music has been used in many great movies you may have seen.
Many of the pedals I used can be substituted with different ones ,so if you do not own the pedals I used experiment with ones you do have!
I would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season.
I would also like to thank everyone for watching and listening to the Effectology shows
this past year.
It has been a fun series to produce.
Have a happy and healthy New Year!

Absolutely fantastic Bill! The first one reminds me a bit of one of my Guitar Rig patches - called Shimmerling.... 
I really like what the Pog 2 does... Wish GR had something similar but I don't that that will ever happen so I might just have to order one (or two - one for each side of the Stick) of these....
Happy Holidays to everyone too!
Dave
