i’m pretty sure a hog would work well for organ sounds.

um, i wasnt sure what tubular bells were, so i had to youtube it, and i’m guessing you can, but i’m not 100% sure because i don’t have a hog.

Another great video!You just convinced me to buy another pedal! :-)

But What about the clock bells? You didn’t give any information about them. Also if you do a reverse of a reverse, like in your “voices from the other side”, does it play the sound forward?

Thanks guys!

Jack the clock bell effect was just the guitar into a Frequency Analyzer and a Stereo Memory Man on a long delay setting.
The Frequency Analyzer had the filter switch off.
Blend at 100%
Fine at 100%
Shift at about 2 o’clock +or-.
Find three notes on the guitar that work together and pick them slowly like a clock tower would sound.
The long delay adds the chaotic sound of many bells.
Good luck and have fun!
Bill Ruppert

Bill - I am so glad I found your series on YouTube! They are inspiring and awesome. I was just about to purchase a GR-20 when I happened upon these videos. Volume 9 is my favorite and I wanted to ask you how to work through the Twilight Zone theme at the beginning. Totally Awesome!!

Thanks for sharing your mastery of sounds and effects for us

Dean,
Thank you very much for you post.
It makes me feel good that people dig watching the show!
Its really cool you took the time to write.

The Twilight Zone clip was so fun for me as it is in my opinion one of the best TV shows ever!
My Twilight Zone sound is just a clean guitar into a Stereo Memory Man in loop mode.
It can be done in one pass but I saw the original music score awhile back and saw the original was for two guitars! Not one like it sounds.
The second guitar just plays a one note in time an octave up.

I was not getting the sound until I realized these were old school LA studio players and they most likely used alternate picking instead of all down strokes. As soon as I did that it sounded correct.
Its amazing how many little elements go into producing a tone.

Once the phrase was looped in the Stereo Memory Man I speed it up and then lowered the pitch slowly with the delay knob.

The alarm drone before that is my take on a cool old show called “The Outer Limits”.
That is a Deluxe Memory Man analog delay in oscillation. I think I used a Big Muff or MicroSynth in front.
It was big fun for me!
Thanks for asking about it.
Happy New Year.
Bill

The strobe light and photocell effect - brilliant.  That really WOULD scare the neighbors.

Very nice take on the Oldfield piece. 

I think I want a Pog now, I played with one at the store and I’m going “it never hurts to have too many effects…“
