Matt in 1959 I was 3 years old , I played my first bass at age 15 it has a huge 1968 Fender P bass and it was heavy and bigger than me , my friends said be our bass player Mark , I said okay.
Best "Stevie in a box" I've found was a Super Six made by a company named Love Pedal. Works well to simulate a cranked Super Reverb. So, works well if you have a generally clean setting and add the pedal to it. I'm not sure how it would sound to an already cranked Super though.
I found the Super Six first, then I found the elMo by Klamac and now I've found the Double Trouble by Honey Bee Amps. Super Six is great but there's some better options if you ever look to upgrade.
Simply terrific! I’d always been a guitar to amp guy for 40+ years and I’d played a friends rig, with this pedal, and I was hooked! This was last August, and since then I’ve spent $5K on pedals and my pedalboard, and now I can obtain ANY tone I’m looking for and am surprised at the tones I didn’t even consider. So, this is all new too me, but now my sound is incredible! Thanks for the videos and all your help and hard work! It’s much appreciated. Best! ✌🏼
Stashman fpv. I kinda go through different phases over the years between being a straight in guy and a pedal guy. But I agree, pedals are just so much more flexible and you can usually do it at much more practical volumes. I can plug my Duellist into my Elmwood Modena m60 (which has a old plexi type clean) and I can sound like I’m plugged into a cranked super reverb at reasonable volume. Love it!!!!!
A true guitar-to-amp guy was once called an " Angus ", now it shall be called a " Matthew ". Kudos dude, guitar, high end cable, amp, chops for days...Perfect.
Jesse is an amazing player. I saw him play back in 2000 with The Hoax...such a showman. I was grinning for like a whole week afterwards...ringing ears ever since though haha
I’m definitely a pedal guy! Don’t get me wrong, the amp is definitely the most important thing, but pedals are great! This one particularly sounds great and seems to be of great quality. Great video matthew and great playing as always!
I was always under the impression that amps should give your dirt but lately I'm really enjoying pedals like The Dude and the Vertex T-Drive and the Bogner Blue Ecstasy pedal....they are all KILLER!
In a blind test, people would never know the difference between SRV and you. I believe you have nailed the tone, but more importantly his style, but made it your own. This isn't the first video I have seen of you, so I know you know how to play really well, and you do.
Matthew, great fingers, lovely tones and good honest opinion. Very much enjoying your videos as always. Looking forward to the refret. Thanks for sharing. PEACE 😀🎸
I believe you got you a new best friend as far as pedals go. Man that is you. I would love to hear a pair of pearly gates run through that thing. It definitely woke your amp up. Awesome demo. 2thumbs up..
Great, useable sounds for gigging or recording. I definitely hear SRV and EC tones which is not a bad way to go ever. Your playing was really good and your finger vibrato is excellent. Really good demo!
Really appreciate your open and honest reviews! I have 4 kingtone pedals and love them. I actually prefer the blues power to the duellist for my overdrive tone. Duellist is great for copping others tones. Blues power is much less compressed, more transparent and open and dynamic. beautiful boost to gain pedal. That and a fuzz and you can cover it all. Love the channel and the playing! Cheers
I agree about the BluesPower but I didn't bond w his Ge mini Not sure but maybe just not a fuzz guy although I do have a Diaz and a Joe Doc Tonebender Mk1 that are working for me
The blues power is great also cause you can stack it with just about any od and it does wonders. I’ve tried it with my Jan Ray my zendrive and my Solo Dallas, klon, Ts10, bb, I’ve tried it with everything and it sounds great with either one of those pedals I just mentioned. It really is an amazing pedal. Ain’t many things out there that can not only boost but go into full with the eq options it has. The thing I like most about it is being able to get some of my super stubborn Amps to break up with out trying to dime the volume
I have a few KingTone pedals. This one is pretty damn awesome. The Blues Power pedal is amazing and so is the mini fuzz. All three are on my board and I’m totally digging what they’re doing for me for what I’m looking for in terms of tones and overdrive.
I’ve had mine for a while now... basically a modded tubescreamer and a blues driver in one pedal. Love it. I own the octaland as well, another great pedal.
Goddamn man ur absolutely a fantastic guitar player. And really perfectly emulate the SRV style. Just really good shit man im impressed when i watch you
Great playing but, This pedal can do so much more.... you can get so much great sounds out of it by turning the knobs and the different positions of the micro switches on top. In my opinion it’s really the best dual od there is. I like it a lot!!
I’m gonna go buy that and try it. I’ve been playing 30 years. I can’t hear overdrive and distortion’s very clearly. I just run an OCD and a Jackson Ampworks. I can hear every nuance in a delay pedal and am an expert at that. I will take your word for this and try it
I have an old Silvertone that sounds exactly like the second channel of that pedal. That is a great sounding pedal for sure and obviously your playing is always outstanding.
Both channels seem to take anything put into it but if you should happen to do another video of this pedal, make sure you put both channels together so you can blow all our minds out!
this pedal makes this rig sound outstanding ......im not a big pedal guy...but i use them like everyone else.....but to build a house you need a good foundation.....ur amp n guitar got that in spades bro
Hey Matt, it's Don again, I love the Duallist, I have it on my board along with the Blues Power, the Octaland and the Fuzz. Jesse Davey pedals are fantastic.
@@BrianDonnelly68 it's all a matter of different colors for different songs. I play in a band with a harmonica playing singer, we play blues, swing, country, classic rock and surf instrumentals. I also use a wampler paisley, nobles odr-1, and an original ts808 for all of their various colors. The blues power is very transparent and enhances my amps and has less color than the other pedals and because of that, I use it the most.
I use a Boss GT8 and a Peavey special chorus amp. With this setup I run the amp on the clean side ( 3/4 to full dime on the volume and roll back the presence to about 10 o clock) This gives me pristine clean tones and when I hit it on the attack she breaks and responds just like glass. If you have ever owned a Peavey bandit then you know exactly what I'm talking about. They don't call them missippi Marshall's for nothing. I get all of the tone and half of the weight. With the gt8 I can get any tome that I want. Skinnard, bto, CCR, Sabraba Hedrix what ever I want it's awesome. I setup all my presets on my laptop using midi and I'm ready to rock on stage. The only thing that I would do different is replace the blue marvel speakers with a set of Black Widows. ..... 🤘❤🤘
Interesting pedal. Would have liked to have seen more of the settings that you used for the sound you produced with this pedal. Others you may like pedal wise. Light speed. Is an awesome light or moderate overdrive. Its very organic normal driven tube sound. You can still hear the single strings ring out. Its just impressive for a pedal under $200. The other is Called an F56 pedal I believe its built by Caledonia. It has a sweet tweed sound and can make most amps sound almost as good as your 59 Bassman
They both sounded great but for different styles. The SRV tube screamer side really worked with your playing! with some tweeking you will get that sounding great! I usually use a Boss Waza Blues Driver into Fender amps.
Not a fan of the TS style mid hump so i went for the KingTone Blues Power instead and it’s a very organic boost/overdrive. Use it with a Marshall and Fender as boost mainly or slight overdrive. And it works great like Nik demonstrates to attenuate a maxed amp without loss of tone/dynamics
Funny, I had the excact same experience. The heavy Hand side surprisingly became the favourite, over the more compressed Steeel Singer side. More 'open' sounding and better note articulation, especially when playing two note stuff...double stops and such....
It’s a killer pedal. I wasn’t super happy at home when I first tried it and then took it to a gig where it was absolute bliss. Not sure it can dethrone my Analogman King of Tone but...it’s a different animal.
2:26 Bright pilot lights help in a bright room or daylight, not in the dark, lol, that's where the are easiest to see. This is true of multi effects displays, some of them are perfect in the dark, but impossible to see in daylight , under near direct sun, as in; and outdoor gig, can be a nightmare. lol
Yeah, I find I'm moving away from that tubescreamer thing, after using a broken one for a good decade before it finally said "no more!". I used it like a boost and have replaced it with two local built ones (I'm in Melbourne, Australia), listing them seems redundant, but I am anyway, I've swapped in a Hotcake (made in New Zealand, which is a little Australian insiders joke) as a clean boost as it's amazingly transparent, but it's tone control is so usable and I can compensate for how my old Fender is behaving/misbehaving, dialling in gain is really precise. For that more crunchy overdrive I have an amazing Klinger MK2, which as the name suggests is Tonebender MK2 clone, super Yardbirds/Beck tone thing going on, it can get a little crazy, but there's a sweet spot just before the crazy where it's big but the guitar and amp still retain their character. All part of the journey
Just to be technical the two switches on the front it was a toggle switch is the blue switch in the back when you took the cover off that's a dip switch just saying
Matt- I had the similar reaction when I got my Duellist! I really liked the “BluesBreaker” side... just had great boost, more than enough grit, and a very full frequency response... Killer pedal! His fuzz pedals are fantastic too! BTW- if you are a fuzz guy (not sure you are), but DanDrive fuzzes are fantastic! Peace!
For me, those clean tones are the best example of 'perfect' strat tones I have heard .
Fell in love instantly, the things never leaving my board

Yup - the Love Pedal Super Six Stevie Mod together with a Klon is pure SRV gold.

And your demonstration was outstanding. Great chops. Thanks.
That tone is insane Matthew. Killer
I think your amp itself sounded better than either of those pedal tones
I agree.....but without an old fender amp this pedal ist great. Even with software like Guitar Rig etc.
I thought exactly the same thing
I was already sold on the Duellist but always wanted your take on it. Brilliant
I’m sure the pedal is great, and the guitar and amp are stellar. But it’s your chops that win the day. You’re a gunslinger!
Dude your playing is so amazing, the tones you get are crazy too
Funny you made this video, ive been itching for one for weeks and pulled the trigger yesterday
Great pedal, it even looks amazing.
That's a Great Pedal! Well done and thanks for sharing brother!
Be Well Matthew!
Sounding tight as usual man keep bringing this awesome content out my dude. Rock on🤘😝
Wow! Some of those licks just blew me away! Had to rewind and watch again! It sounded awesome!👍😎🎸🎶
Your playing is always on point
Jesse is an amazing player. I saw him play back in 2000 with The Hoax...such a showman. I was grinning for like a whole week afterwards...ringing ears ever since though haha
You just got the right feeling Matthew.. amazing
dude that clean tone at 2:40 is the clean i’ve been trying to get for months!!
Turn the bass down more
Why and when did i comment this

Wow 😮
I love your videos dude. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Got one. Pretty good. Wish it had 3 band EQ. For now I've gone back to two stacked Wampler Clarksdales (Wampler's tube screamer with 3 band EQ).
