Silvio, a talented musician, gear enthusiast, and web developer from Germany, is the creative force behind Loopy Demos. He is passionate about combining his love for music and technology, resulting in an interactive platform that lets musicians explore gear in innovative ways. With a background as a frontend engineer, Silvio has built a unique space where users can manipulate pedals in real time, offering a fresh alternative to traditional demo videos. His latest demonstration features the Crushturnal by Collision Devices, showcasing his commitment to blending creativity with cutting edge technology.

The Crushturnal is a groundbreaking multi effects pedal designed by Collision Devices, a boutique pedal manufacturer renowned for pushing the boundaries of sound manipulation. Founded in 2016 by Baptiste and Denis, Collision Devices creates innovative effects pedals that are as visually striking as they are sonically unique. Based in the picturesque region of western France, this team of artisans crafts effects that redefine the possibilities of sound for guitarists, bassists, and synth players alike.

The Crushturnal is a powerful and versatile tool for ambient soundscapes, combining three distinct effects: Ambience, Digital Repeater, and Sequencer. The Ambience section delivers a shimmering cathedral style reverb, allowing for lush and ethereal tones with intuitive controls for adjusting reverb length, brightness, and mix levels. The Digital Repeater offers a delay that adds depth and dimension to your sound, featuring a Bitcrusher/Sample Reducer that can degrade your signal from subtle to extreme, bringing a unique lo fi character to your music.

One of the Crushturnal's most exciting features is the advanced Sequencer, which controls the fidelity and resolution of the effects with a central Clock knob. The Sequencer opens up endless possibilities for rhythmic and textural variations, allowing musicians to experiment with step sizes, intervals, and modes like Up, Down, and Random. This makes the Crushturnal not just another ambient effects unit but a dynamic instrument capable of creating dreamy, cinematic soundscapes.

In his demo, Silvio dives deep into the Crushturnal's capabilities. Using a Fidelity Guitars Stellarosa Lite II paired with the Crushturnal, he explores its potential for glitchy, ambient textures, showing how the pedal can transform simple riffs into vast soundscapes. Silvio's demo highlights the intuitive design of the Crushturnal, making it easy to dial in impressive sounds right out of the box. His signal chain also includes the Mixwave Benson Chimera Plugin and subtle room reverb from the Valhalla Vintage Verb plugin, enhancing the Crushturnal’s ambient qualities.

Silvio’s enthusiasm for the Crushturnal is clear throughout the demo, where he showcases the pedal’s ability to create endlessly inspiring textures while remaining user friendly. From shimmering reverb to experimental bitcrushing, the Crushturnal offers a world of creative possibilities for musicians looking to expand their sonic horizons.
