Thanks. I appreciate it.

Great tip. Thanks

It’s pretty awesome

Well it looks like I have a follow up to do! Lol

There is a cab sim. Some people mod it to make it switchable. I like what it does as is so have left it. I have not tried this pedal in an fx loop because I’ve never owned an amp with one. Lol

I remember seeing those and hearing this was the overseas clone. I was never able to find the tech21. Talk about a lost memory... Thanks for bringing it back.

I tried the Calling CP-55. It was supposed to be the same pedal... I didn't think so. Nothing like the American Sound.

@@tweedcouch Joyo, Ammoon & Harley Benton versions are all from the same factory. I don't think the Caline is. There's also a MOSKYAudio version in a smaller casing. I haven't tried it but I do have the MOSKY Classic AC-30 which is pretty good imho.

@@ItsaCatsLife thanks for the heads up!

Thanks!

Thanks man. It really is a blessing to have.

@@tweedcouch for me a dirty lemon finished, what a special and beautiful guitar!

@@Radioteleskopes​​⁠dirty lemon was my first choice but then I saw this for a deal and I knew it was the one.

I think that it’s not worth it to change from one or the other if a guitar already has one. If it has neither then you might pick your favorite here.

⁠@@tweedcouchthanks for the tip man! I have an SG Vibrola with the 61 burstbuckers and always wondered if the custom buckers that come in the custom shop version would be worth it, but now I see its not really the case. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

You are welcome

It's a keeper. Thanks

I do love highs but not spikey highs.

Very 80’s

If I shut my eyes I would have sworn it was a Marshall in a stadium.

Agreed. It’s not very metal on its own. Then again it could very well be the player and the settings on the amp.

It's the Boss Turbo Overdrive circuit, it's not a fuzz.

⁠​⁠@@karlsilverone I need to look at that circuit. Although that pedal is not stereo and gets no chorus or delay.

@@tweedcouch I know, I used to have the DM, it's transformed when sat behind the Boss Equalizer, then it is a metal pedal for sure.

@@karlsilveroneI’ll try that out. Thanks for the tip.

If I had one I would have!

The Fender is: V3 T6. Marshall is: P:4 B:6 M:6 T:4 Pre: 2.5 Master: 3.5

Double tasty! Lol

I was playing in my 11x13’ room and was thinking. “Wow! I feel like I’m playing a stadium”. lol Also, you are right. The stereo output would be nice.

@valcrist7428 you can't approach live sound reinforcement the same way you do recording. Guitars with stereo effects just get lost in live setup because very few of the audience are standing in the sweetspot to enjoy an stereo effect as thick as stereo chorus. This is why stereo combos never really took off. When guitars are layered during recording it's typically to give them a thicker sound. Yes they are often panned slightly left n right too but never hard left and hard right with width being the focus. Even 2 separate guitarist in a mix are typically only slightly panned so each side blends. We do the same in a live setup with a single guitarist with micing 2 guitar cabinets, or dual mic'ing a single cabinet. Some guys like to use 2 difference type mics when dual mic'ing a single cab so as add a dash of nuance in the "widening" of the guitars out front but in the mix it would really only be panned 20-30%ish (to Engineers taste) off center each side.

@@Timetofly8888then add the room to the equation and a stereo setup could kill your mix.

@@tweedcouch I think stereo effects have a place, but to use stereo anything in a single guitar tone, other than reverb in most cases, just creates problem once you get it into the real world onstage. Yes some people think one should be able to replicate any recording live but in reality so much more affects the outcome in a live environment vs a controlled studio environment. Also while I love the sound of Distortion with thick stereo chorus next in the signal chain like you could do with alot of Stereo combo's in the 90s, namely the Marshall 8240 , playing on your own they sound great, but try using it with a band and the effect gets completely lost. It's really just a bit gimmicky. Zakk Wylde used think chorus over his distortions excessively during his Ozzy era, very similar in tone to this pedal but at his rig is was only mono as far as ive been told by guys Ive worked with who have toured with him during that era and Black Label Society in the early days.

@@Timetofly8888do you feel like this pedal is best suited for the “bedroom player”? I’d love to try it live but my gigs and applications just don’t lend to it.

Wow. I never thought of that. You are totally right. P

I have a solution to your problem, stop being a know it all , whiney little c**k.

It’s true. I said “that’s close enough” at the beginning. Part of the reason I don’t play the riffs spot on is because of copyright. The other reason is because I didn’t feel the need to sweat perfection. It was more about the pedal and it’s tone. I am sorry that the timing bothers you. I really do mean that.

It’s arena rock in my bedroom!

That is pretty much how it sounds when I play a keyboard… with or without the pedal. Lol🤣🤣

I thought the BB3 was AlNiCo II.

@@tweedcouch Moi aussi et bien Non un 2

@@alainmalo3791 Thanks for the info

@@tweedcouch Peut métre un alnico 4 en aimant .son superbe 👌

I may have to try that next.

Agreed. Lots of factors go into tone.

In a live setting, I’ve found myself lean that way too.

I generally find myself gravitating to the BB over the CB. It does depend on what I’m playing and playing through. What amp do you use?

@@tweedcouch Fender Pro Jr. IV , Blackstar HT-20R MK III HEAD , Laney Ironheart Foundry Dualtop Head , homemade Mojotone 5F2-A & 5E3 amp heads and a homemade 12” pine cab w/Eminence Swamp Thang speaker .

@@bxsoupthat’s a great collection of sizes and tones! Nice 👌🏼

@@tweedcouch Thanks ! I forgot I also have a Fender Champion 40 with an Eminence The Governor speaker .

It’s there but not as bad as you think. Alone I notice it. In a band setting I don’t really. My only issue is the tiny frets. I like more down pressure before touching the fretboard. If I ever did a refret then I’d probably increase the fret wire height.

I’ve owned a number of LP’s and this one is special. I prefer the unpotted pickups. The binding bleed is what it is and not a deal breaker. I play by feel and by ear mostly and this guitar (and most every custom shop I’ve played) gives me a different mojo.

I’ve tried it. It didn’t rattle and felt more slinky. I noticed no tone difference though. I need to try raising the tail piece and stringing it the original way again. I’ll bet it would feel more slinky and sound the same.

In more ways than some would like to admit.

Thank you for sharing! I like Gibson pickups a lot… but I LOVE my Marshall. Lol🤣

Thanks! It really is a great guitar. At any price point, a guitar that is great will conjure some nice riffs.

I have never tried this guitar with the original bridge. Maybe I need to put that back on with the next string change.

@@tweedcouch I say, let your ears and your soul decide. 👍

@@dansmusic5749 SOLID ADVICE! One that people often forget.

I can see that. Thanks for chiming in.

Thanks for the kind words and your opinion. Cheers!

@@tweedcouch You are most welcome, I really enjoyed you videos. Love and respect, to all kind amerians, from Iran (Persia). Peace.

The neck is thinner. It is also narrower. The strings have a smaller gauge. So yes it is “easier to play” in the sense that you can press and make chords but because of the narrowness the strings are closer together. This. Makes for some difficulty. I think the Danelectro electric 12 is easier to play in the sense of making chords with less fumbling.

@@tweedcouch thank you..!!

@@eddievalentino6430happy to be helpful.

More frustrating to tune. Lol

@@tweedcouch I went to Carter Guitars here in Nashville to try them out because I always wanted one. It's very hard to play. I have the MIJ Stratocaster XII and it's so much more comfortable.

@@seanmiller7187 I want the Danelectro 12 string. It plays easy and sounds great.

@@tweedcouch The lipstick pickups sound great. The other question is why do Rick 12 strings come with 6 saddles, but sell a 12 saddle bridge as an extra? Why don't the put the 12 saddle bridge on the 12 string as a stock part? Makes no sense!

@@seanmiller7187 The 12 string saddle is aftermarket. In 1964 they didn't have the 12 string saddle yet.

Volume will make a difference. So will the placement in relation to the amp. That said, these are unpotted which will increase the amount of potential harmonic feedback.

Try a set of ToneRider pickups . $100 bucks .

You seem to answering your own question. Use wax potted custombuckers!

@@Brian-qg8dgbut I like the nuances of unpotted.

Love distortion from the power tubes!

Glad to hear! Thanks for the comment

Even closer in the mix

Great comment. I prefer it that way too. For some reason, checking is different to me.

Maybe that’s the next video needed. Lol

@@tweedcouch Author, you are really great ！

I love the BB for that big clean to mean sound. The CB are more for breakup to rock overdrive. At least for me and what I play.

@@tweedcouch Really, a matter of taste. Custombucker is PAF, BB3 is not.

Not sure how much plasticizer they use now. It feels less plastic than the usual Gibson finish. I have played a real 59 Junior and a real 57 gold top and the finish does seem newer on the R9 but that would make sense since it is new. The bleed does seem to be more than anything I’ve seen on a real 59 too.
