Timely Tone TIp for Changing Presets.
People have complained of having to bend down during a performance to change presets on units like the Stereo Memory Man/Hazarai, The Ring Thing, Voice Box and the Cathedral.
What many do not know is that these pedals were ergonomically designed to be controlled by your feet.
The white preset/mode knob is perfectly positioned to be operated by the side of your right foot.
Use the side of your foot to select the preset position. Then carefully tap straight down on the white knob to activate the preset.
With a little practice your feet will be in control. Then you’ll be able to keep your hands where they belong…on the guitar!
Below is a demo video:

Here’s the latest videosong by the multi-talented Bayu Ardianto. This time he’s collaborating with Lola Bangs The Drums, a duet featuring Natalia Pratiwi and Dika Charles Dickson.
The title of the original song is “Dekati Aku” which translates to “come and get me!”
When producing this videosong Bayu drew inspiration from big band, swing music. He explained that because he doesn’t have brass instruments he mimicked the brass with his pianica and an EHX Voice Box in unison mode (one octave higher, one octave lower).
Bayu used the following EHX products in this production:
Voice Box (pianica)
Cathedral Stereo Reverb (electric guitar, electric piano, acoustic guitar)
Stereo Pulsar (electric guitar)
Russian Big Muff Pi (bass, lead synthesizer)
Double Muff (electric guitar)
