Really appreciate the blending feature. You always get such a wonderfully brutal tone. Ever consider doing a video or even a series on tone crafting? Especially for live situations where the volume is pushed.
Dude, thank you, glad you like my tones. It took a while to get the tones I get now, just a lot of trial and error and training my ear to what to listen for. A big part of it is making sure you have a good speaker/IR, cause if that's bad, it's going to make it a lot harder. I did do a short video on EQing guitars for a mix, what to listen to and why, but I could look into doing a video on doing a video dialing in a tone with an amp and drive pedal like this since it's not obvious the amp with how it's setup to take a boost, doesn't sound great on its own, the boost really makes it, so setting them up together could definitely be helpful.
@@MetalHeadProductions You are 100% correct regardng speakers (to some extent cabs, as well). In my experience, it's one thing to dial in either a bedroom/practice or desktop recording tone; but dialing in a live tone (and at actual stage volume levels) is an entirely different animal. If you ever do get around to doing something along those lines, man, what a service that would be to so many of us. Hell, if you put together a tone crafting for live settings instructional for purchase, I'd happlily pay. Keep up the great work.
Haha, yeah realized after I wrote this that they both do the two chords into a gallop but the overall riff and melody is different fortunately so I didn't just entirely rip them off.
I just ordered one of these as an Xmas gift to myself. Very much looking forward to getting it in as I am sure it will take a spot next to my Deadweald Duality DX on my board (also wouldn't mind blending them for curiosity sake)
with the medusa, instant hail of bullets tone :o really cool gear, i hesitate with the king in yellow and the devil overdrive from obsidian audio. It's a great era for boutique overdrive pedal with really gnarly mojo
The great thing about this pedal is that you can also mimic the SD-1 but with extra adjustability... Like more bass and output. Michael Klein Dybbuk is the only other pedal I've tried that can get the SD-1 cut, which I much prefer to TS OD's. I really like the KIY, but the buffer in the loop drastically affects the tone of whatever you put in the loop... At least it does DRASTICALLY with an HM-2. I would assume this would affect most fuzzes too, especially ones that don't play nice with buffers. I keep meaning to try a Y-split and just going into the return of the KIY's loop, but haven't gotten around to it. I'm STILL dealing with the aftermath from hurricane damage. The entire bottom floor of my house was wiped out. 😱
@@MetalHeadProductionsAs far as the flood, it really sucks. I had about 8x the amount of damage than what insurance covered. Not only that, I lost a vehicle and they gave me only 40% of what it would cost me to go out and buy the same exact car with the same mileage etc. Total damage? Probably over $70k! Furthermore, the car market is totally insane right now. Some car payments are rivaling mortgage payments atm because car prices and interest rates are off the chain! 😮
i found out when you blend the Lichtlaerm audio Aesahaettr you get similar results of Deadweald Audio Duality DX Red channel. but you now can sculped both the tube screamer and clean boost with the 4 band eq. would be a very interesting video to see how close you can get 2 pedals to match the one 😁
Interesting that this is just out. Last night I was doing something similar, but, quieter. The Kiy into hx stomp with Kma machines Wurm in fx loop. Sounded disgusting with the out of faze on.
How would this hold up against the Maxon st9 pro plus? Going for the cannibal corpse tone with my dual rec multi watt and I’m trying to find perfect overdrives for it. I do have a metalzone but want to check out others also
Even though they're both screamers they're definitely different from each other. This can definitely get tighter and with the eq you can dial it in more precisely than the St9 Pro, but the st9 has that unique tone and mid enhance so you can control the overall tone and the 808 midrange the pedal has. You can do more with the king in yellow, but the one thing the St9 Pro does, it does very well.
@ ok maybe I’ll try and track down the st9, gotta have that crushing cannibal corpse tone. I’m pretty close with the metalzone and a couple other overdrives all stacked but why not own more haha
What are your thoughts on this compared to the Savage Drive? I know you heavily praise the savage drive and seemed a little more excited about that review than this one. At least that was the impression that I get (insert ska trumpet)
@keithwilmot1520 both great drives, of course the KIY has the parallel blending and clipping options. Now they're voicing very differently. The Savage drive really is voiced in a way that is more unique to Airis, the midrange is a really cutting and modern midrange, and the KIY it's midrange is more similar to what we know and love from a tubescreamer.
If I had to get it's called that because of the art and all their art is gold, but yeah it's their take on a tubescreamer, the description on the site goes into that.
Daniel is such a cool builder. Sounds fantastic, will be getting another Lichtlaerm.
I love the EQ on this! I use the mid controls in the exact same way. I run the swollen pickle in the loop to get fat nasty tones.
Sound's like it'll make you want to play , nice and crunchy , I can hear Celtic Frost is mild adjustment away. 😎👍

That intro riff was tasty man.. \m/
Man I thought the intro was conquer all by behemoth for a few seconds haha. Great demo!
Haha, yeah realized after I wrote this that they both do the two chords into a gallop but the overall riff and melody is different fortunately so I didn't just entirely rip them off.
Incredible video man, keep up the amazing work! Love the behemoth style riffing!!!
Thank you! Haha, and yeah I can't help it, I'll write something and half the time I'm like, well shit that sounds like behemoth, haha
@ there’s nothing wrong with that man! Behemoth is a great influence to have
A really great pedal and the possibilities for finding your own sounds are fantastic. This pedal is on my list for a while, but I will order one soon.
I just ordered one of these as an Xmas gift to myself. Very much looking forward to getting it in as I am sure it will take a spot next to my Deadweald Duality DX on my board (also wouldn't mind blending them for curiosity sake)
Great demo
Well I’m the Yellow King of Surf Guitar.
with the medusa, instant hail of bullets tone :o really cool gear, i hesitate with the king in yellow and the devil overdrive from obsidian audio. It's a great era for boutique overdrive pedal with really gnarly mojo
Why not both! Haha
@MetalHeadProductions it's my bank account that's will not really agree aha !

Oh shit, hope you guys can recover from that soon.

@XChristianNoirX dude, that's awful,.I'm sorry.
i found out when you blend the Lichtlaerm audio Aesahaettr you get similar results of Deadweald Audio Duality DX Red channel. but you now can sculped both the tube screamer and clean boost with the 4 band eq. would be a very interesting video to see how close you can get 2 pedals to match the one 😁

Tubescreamer? I thought when they named "yellow" in the pedal, I assume it was Boss OD1 or DS1 (I guess this more orange than yellow)

The King In Yellow is a character from a H.P. Lovecraft story.
