Odessa [acoustic version] yvette young 2022-03-07 | an acoustic stripped down arrangement of a song I wrote for my band Covet. Happy to announce we are going back on tour: dates: tix.soundrink.com/tours/covetnote: The song was named Odesa or Odessa after the Ukrainian city my violin teacher was from. This song was dedicated to him. He did so much for my musicality and discipline and always believed in me/pushed for the best out of me. As everyone already knows, Ukraine needs all the help they can get right now:icrc.org/en/donate/ukrainedonate.doctorswithoutborders.org/secure/donate?_ga=2.96088860.1097055082.1646677876-1259451452.1646677876

looping and writing with the hx one yvette young 2023-10-26 | Wrote a whole loop using the Line 6 HX one! The sounds you’re hearing are the shuffling looper and the transistor tape delay. I love how the looper helps you scramble up note sequences endlessly for non-guitar-sounding melodic inspiration, and I love how you can now set the min and max of any parameter(s) on an effect (like the feedback and mix of a delay here) and have it transition between the two settings seamlessly with just a click of a switch. This pedal FLUX 🤟🏻check out the line 6 hx one: http://sweetwater.sjv.io/ZQ4kmqamp sim/guitar tone: http://sweetwater.sjv.io/Or5NaQ

a short song using the Catalinbread Cloak yvette young 2021-12-30 | when I plugged into the @CatalinbreadMechanismsofMusic Cloak shimmer, I immediately started writing this post-rock ish melody that I thought built up beautifully with violin and acoustic. I love the control you have over the room size so you can go from tight to washy in one twist of a knob. And that low pass filter comes in handy so things don't get too intense. Settings as depicted in video!peep the pedal: http://imp.i114863.net/vnWA2Oelectric violin that I loooove: http://imp.i114863.net/oeVrzn

trying riffs through the effects bakery plain bread compressor yvette young 2021-11-28 | Just a lil on/off compressor action to see how it affects my tone. 3 easy knobs- volume, tone, and compression. Very straight forward-I love what it did to beef up my clean sound a bit and add just a bit of dirt. So wild these are all less than $50! effectsbakery.usOH and that may or may not be the next sig guitar dropping in a few days ;) More info soon!
trying riffs through the Effects Bakery Melon Pan Chorus yvette young 2021-11-13 | 🍈 Effects Bakery sent me a few pedals and of CHORUS I had try their chorus pedal (ahah bad pun). Like most of their pedals, there’s only 3 controls (rate, mix, depth). I went for a more traditional chorus sound and then tried a more vibrato-y tone with a higher rate! It’s a fun pedal for anyone looking to try different colors and textures on their playing for less than $50 🤘🏻effectsbakery.us

trying some riffs through the Iwashita New Ginger fuzz yvette young 2021-11-05 | Effects Bakery sent me some of their cute pedals just to try out and a few definitely jumped out at me, including this fuzz! There’s only 3 controls (volume, tone, and fuzz) so it was super intuitive to use. It’s wild that they’re all less than $50. I think it’s a fun way to try out new textures and colors without breaking the bank 😬 here I am using it as a more subtle boost + grit, and then trying out a more dramatic setting!effectsbakery.us
