Sound Boy by Intimidation Video 2

0:00 Back, all you've got, if

Right folks, I've done a video on this already but I'm going to go a little bit more in depth with it now. It's this guy here. It's called a Soundboy and it's by Intimidation. It's basically a one unit 19 inch rack mount piece of kit. It's an effects unit and believe it or not it's actually made in the UK. First of all, how do you plug it in? Well if we have a look at the back, all you've got, if you can see there... Dodgy cables, excuse me. You've got a power in there and then here you've got an output. Now this is a stereo jack output, the big plug, exactly the same that you would expect to find on the back of a big set of headphones. Now what I've got, if I just put the volume down, at the moment now I've got that plugged into that there.

Exactly the same plugs that you would find on, let's say, a vinyl turntable or exactly the same plugs that you would have to plug in from a CD player into the back of the mixer. And that goes into the line input of this mixer. So I'll put that back in there like that. Now, of course, you know, you wouldn't normally have this set up like that. This is just at the moment for demonstration purposes. OK, we've got 99 effects. Now, someone did leave a comment, why don't they do 100? Well, possibly because there's only two digits there. But then again, to be quite honest, it's not 99 effects. It's a lot more than 99 effects. I'll explain why. If you think about it now, right, I'll put the volume up. Let's have a listen. Alright, we need to break the show right now. Alright, what you can do here, you've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 buttons. And you've got a dial.

2:24 This is actually the pitch adjust, so if I move this anti-clockwise

For the red button first of all, basically what that does is like a quick fire. The one next to it will actually stop that particular effect. Then the one next to that will go up one. In other words, at the moment we're at 67. So if I press that one... We'll go to 68, so if we have a look. So if you can hear any buzzing in the background, it's nothing to do with this, it's the fact that the cable isn't that good. Normally I'd have a better cable, but like I said, this is just for demonstration purposes. So we're on at 68. That's going up one, but like I said, it's not just 99 effects. What you can actually do, if you think about it, you've got this dial here. Now this is actually the pitch adjust, so if I move this anti-clockwise...

It will decrease the pitch, it'll make it sound lower or it'll make it go slower. If I move it clockwise, it'll actually increase the speed, it'll make it sound higher. So first of all, if I set it let's say to 12 o'clock, so listen. Now I'm going to move it now anti-clockwise. Right, back to 12 o'clock, now set to 12 o'clock, I'm going to move it clockwise. So you can hear there. So what you could do is... Do what I'm actually doing.

4:27 The next one is the loop play

That could get quite annoying after a while. Alright, where you go up one, you've got the plus 10 button. So in other words, say you're at 68 and you want to get to, I don't know, say 80 or 90 quite quickly. Well what you can actually do is press that so you go from 68 to 78, then 88, and then if I press the button below that, 88, 89, 90. There you go. Okay, so we've done the quick fire, we've done the stop. Plus one, plus ten. The next one is the loop play. Okay, you can get a general idea. So we've got loop play, and again, to get out of loop play, just press stop. And then you've got pause. So if we press the loop play, pause, going to keep your finger on it, there you go. I'll give you an idea of some of the actual effects. We've got a couple of laser, we've got laser sweep, laser pulse, we've got a sweep power curve, reducing sweep.

Pulsator, sounds interesting. Digital Phaser, Alien, Open Tom, Kick Pulse, Laser 3, Liftoff, Laser 4, Laser Guns, Alien, Chatter. Sounds quite interesting. Let's have a look. We'll go for the car horn. So I'm going to go to 93. Here we go. So let's loop that. Well, I'm going to plus or minus 16. So, right, we're there. So if I press start again, loop play. Okay, give you a general idea. This is video number two on this guy here. He's known as the sound boy and it's from Intimidation. And I'm going to have a bit of fun with this. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
