My daughter loves her JHS 3 Series Delay that she received for Christmas before she goes to college to receive her Music degree as a touring musician!!
Picked up the TRex Acoustic Soulmate and it's the perfect setup for my acoustic gigs. Also grabbed a Mono Tour Case from your affiliate link to transport it. Phenomenal product as well!
The Protein was, by far, the best pedal I purchased this year. I sold a Dualist after playing it for a day or two (it never even earned a velcro application). Rhett is spot-on when he states it’s a great pedal, both using each side independently of themselves or in tandem. Treat yourself to a great overdrive in 2022 and pick one up.
@@soofitnsexy That's not the pedal's intent because it doesn't do high gain. You might want to try a Revival Drive Hot Rod or The Hot Rod Compact. Their pedals are stellar. I use a Revival Drive Compact for anything Marshall related.
@@soofitnsexy the right side of the pedal is based on a Nobles ODR1. It can bring some good gain and much more than the left side which is like a Blues Breaker. Give it a shot. With the right amp and gain staging between the two sides, it might do what you're looking for. It really is a great pedal and the tones are very amp like.
I would love to see more pedals with a routable expression pedal input that you could assign to different parameters within the pedal. Kind of like a mod wheel on a synth. Could get some pretty cool textures and such on the sound. Love the content.
I know it's not the same, but a lot of modelers do this! It's one of my favorite things to use my HX Stomp for. I think you could also accomplish this with a midi pedal, connected to many other midi pedals, but may be harder, more expensive, and limiting. In my experience, I've done: 1. Distortion level after reverb. Expression controls how distorted the reverb is. 2. Switch between different Harmony sounds. 3. Waveform of chorus/tremolo/mod to make some random kinda sounds.
Hotcake has it's own thing and no other overdrives can be an alternative IMHO. So sweet and smooth but also thick and punchy. Adds more clarity and dynamics while keeping the amp's character intact. Definitely a keeper. It's not even a clone of some other dirt boxes or particular circuits and the originality deserves further recognition.
I mean, Hot Cake is cool and all, but... PRUNES 👏 AND 👏 CUSTARD PC makes two pedals, and they're both killer - but the Prunes & Custard makes sounds I've never heard from anything else. Squelchy, splatty, synthy fuzz that just ruins your signal's envelope. You'll think your amp is broken. It's glorious.
Thanks a lot Rhett. You have successfully cultivated another impulse buy (Product makers take note!) and now I have to explain the Bluesbraker and ODR-1 benefits (Protein pedal) to my wife since she will be the only one home to sign when it's delivered (no way to hide it this time). LOL. Keep it up and we all LOVE what you do.
Rhett! Just popped back over to your Channel after checking out your recent discussion with Rick beato about has every song been written? I made a comment on his Channel about your ongoing mentioning of Dawes and your compliments on their songwriting virtues I'm talking to you from my humble Studio in Los Angeles amidst some pretty heavy raining and landslides in some of the hilly communities where the burn areas have recently been... right on for what you're doing and influencing in the "proper" way!
Best pedal I got this year was a Radial A/B/Y switcher that lets me run two amps at once. Game changer. Always appreciate your pedal recommendations. Picked up a Hot Tubes and a Timmy recently based on your suggestions. Both are excellent!
Rhett’s “worst week of the year” basically just described what it’s like working in healthcare every week of the year. Oh, and the Friedman BE-OD is phenomenal, if you don’t have an HX Stomp XL, which I do-which is also phenomenal and the size of 3-4 pedals, but has ALL of them I could ever need. Rat, Blues Breaker, Timmy, Centaur, TS808, Friedman, endless… I’m blown away. Oh, and it’s an IR loader too.
1:18:23 Considering that, I believe you would like Cachalote Audio's pedals. Specially "Lisa Tap Delay", an experimental analog delay that looks like Millennium Falcon's cockpit. Highly recommend.
Fellow verb junky, I have 5 on my board (an always-on RV5 as a medium/lite spring, then Context², Light Pedal, Decent, and Astral Destiny for all my other desires) and there's a 6th I need to squeeze in there I don't own yet, the Old Blood Sunlight. I like having them all at a moment's notice, and to stack, good verb is glorious. I think heavy verb is the easiest tones to just get lost in, you just want to stay soaking and marinating in that space, it's the best! I also want one of those NU-33 pedals really bad, only thing holding me back is that crackle switch too, i absolutely adore that feature, I do, but it just seems like what I'd want max level to be on a knob, not a switch :( if that crackle can be less and less frequent with a knob, and have it's own tone knob, and the amount and tone were controllable via expression pedal, omg man, I'd have to have that pedal! I wanna be able to swell those crackles from a few bright instances here and there to where the crackle switch is now, just darker if it's gonna be so constant...so close, yet so far away, I agree the crackle is almost useless the way it is cuz it's just turned up to 11 all the time, it would be insanely useful the way I wish it were, at least for me, and I'd assume I wasn't the only one. That feels like it'd fix the crackle feature. I've been getting into my new BitMap², and that hypothetical version of the NU-33 with the BitMap I feel could be real fun to dive into! I could talk about this stuff all day.
Totally agree on the king of tone. I was on the waitlist and got a king of tone, liked but didn’t love it. I sold it and bought a Browne Protein with money left over and couldn’t be happier.
I have both a Protein and a Duelist on my board. Both are incredible. The blues breaker side of the protein with the TS side of the duelist is gold. Both Bluesbreaker circuits together from both pedals are great combos. What’s better? Neither…both are great
Giving me some Capt. Kirk vibes, jus' sayin.' I got a laughable amount of entertainment and gonzo tune-age out of the Way Huge Atreides, this year. Also the Red Fuzz 1 via JHS showing off the Lunastone line up. That and the versatile Solidgoldfx Oblivion flange monster. Got a kick out of Teisco's Delay. And still, my favorite companion is a simple little MXR Phase 95, set Script 45. Just dreamy. It was a fun year.
had the atreides on backorder from musicians friend for months. Finally showed up last week and I simply can't stop playing it. It's SO much fun. Reminds me of the beetronics swarm but a lot more controllable.
I bought my first pedal ever this year. An MXR Phase 90. That opened the flood gates to two different fuzzes, three overdrives, reverb, delay, a 10-band EQ and an aby pedal for two amps. 2022 looks to be busy too lol.
@@astewart9410 try to get some examples off the internet. Mid scoop and the opposite mid boost is a good place to start. Do that by making a V and upside down version more of a bell. It depends a lot on wether you have a humbucker mid range heavy guitar or strat style how it will react. Both have their uses. What’s great is you can think of it as drawing pictures then fine tune them to your liking. I actually just got a 10 band eq but I have had a smaller one for quite some time. 10 band can be more challenging also more rewarding. Also switch up gain and volume, gain won’t always necessarily sound more dirty it’s odd. be careful not to crank both too loud especially in the effects loop. I prefer to have mine before or after overdrive depending outside the loop. I use my smaller eq pedal going to my 2nd amp for stereo.
Can you neural capture your Divided by 13 RSA 23, please?? Have your AC 30 and love it. Also, when it comes to your favorite ODs, you’ve had a Mythos Olympus on your board, how does it compare to the Mjolnir??
Before I had the protein, I owned a Duelist and a king-of-tone (original and also a good version). Protein arrived and I turned it on. Put the Duelist up for sale within five minutes. Can't beat the protein. King-of-tone has also made way for protein and is now somewhere in my closet. Protein is the new standard! Isle-of-Tone Haze67 in front of it or an R2R Electric Treble booster AC107 (for the non-Fuzzers among us). Blow!
I love this kind of vid. Basically a great, experienced player opining on pedals. I would have prefered it without the slapback delay on everything though
Kinda late... but the best pedal I bought in 2021 was a Source Audio MultiWave Distortion. Crazy fun pedal. Best overdrive/distortion pedal I've come across in 45+ years of playing.
It’s suprising that you haven’t done a video about Analogman King Of Tone. You seem to like Bluesbreaker type pedals. Yes it’s hyped but it is a great overdrive. Would be intresting to hear your thoughts about the KoT.
I am about to find out about two of these as the Packrat and Protean are on the way. I love fuzz and I found a 65 Amps Colour Boost and Colour Face, both hand wired takes on the Dallas Rangemaster and Germanium Fuzz face. Played straight from the guitar and onto the amp they sing or spit fire with a roll of the volume knob. Can't have too many fuzz pedals.
My brother bought me a Source Audio True Spring Reverb for Christmas, I was incredibly excited….Plugged it in and turned it on and the footswitch is broken, it actually doesn’t engage the pedal. The pedal turns on but the footswitch is bunk. I was pretty surprised that it would get shipped out like that, maybe I got one that somebody had broken and returned or something, I’ve never had a brand new pedal not work before. I’m waiting on another so hopefully the new one is working because it looks like a fabulous pedal.
Rhett, have you tried the Gladio dual distortion? Its from Cornerstonemusic/Italy. It technically came out much earlier. I placed my order and got one in May 2020. Still the reviews in the US, popped up by RJ Ronquillo and Pete Thorn this year.
Adam gave me a Protein 3.0 too along with a T4. Being able to switch the Protein 3.0 to separate outputs using TRS is just killer using this with my ES-8 switcher... LOVE THEM!!!
probably just me because i dont see anyone post about it, but the audio was really off sync ... video was almost unwatchable . still made it all the way through because guitar talks with rhett rules! hope others had a better experience with this one
Rhett, have you ever heard of a Mulholland Drive by Teletronix? I don't think they make them anymore. just curious to your opinion on those. Been my main drive for awhile, currently push it with a Wampler Belle in front of it.
For me, I actually kinda hate the blues breaker BECAUSE of just how transparent it is. When you want transparent overdrive, I'd say it's certainly THE thing to have. However, if I want transparent gain, I'd just use a boost. I don't really like the way they saturate when pushed, but that means I'm stuck with a clean boost. I LOVE the odr1 cause of what it does to my signal. So if I got a protein, I'd basically use the green side, like, 100% of the time. Now, if they made an odr1 and a mostortion in the same box, I'd be throwing money at them lol
So are u saying if I stop buying pedals and just practice me arse off I will get good enough to get the best pedals out for FREE directly from the company themselves?!?!? Ok change of plans👍
Hey Rhett! May I ask you what spec your iMac is? I have been so torn between a Mac or pc and I’ve just had my heart set on a Mac but can’t afford one.. as of yet but I will and dude I have learned so much more from watching your channel than any other!! Thank you!! I’m similar age to you (28) I’ve been playing since I was 10 and I haven’t learned much teaching myself until watching your channel..
I have an Ultrashear, which I also bought from Eastside. It's the only thing in front of my Tweed Deluxe. I mostly run it short like Rhett demos, for a slapbacky vibe, but the depth of the verb and the spacey vibes are always there to get lost in. I wish they'd just make the reverb in a smaller enclosure. A horizontal 1U eurorack I could put at the top of my board, maybe?
I often run my hot cake before the protein with the gain almost all the way down, so it's a boost into the protein. Worth testing out Rhett. Your version should have an internal dip switch that just smooths out the od/distribution a little, if you prefer that sound. Had my eye on the solid gold fx vinyl engine for a bit. Lucky, my preferred local store has it out of stock, but will be back on the radar when it comes back in.. All the best to you and your fam over new years. Stay happy and healthy. 👍😎
I got the J. Landreth & Jackson Audio Golden Boy on Black Friday and i love it. Just the boost is amazing. Also is so well thought. Someday i'll use the midi functionality but right now i love it in front of my HX Stomp. I also got a JHS Bender for my first fuzz because i love tonebenders with chors on my humbucker guitar. Now it's time to learn how to use it xD
That's my favorite Zeppelin album to play. I've been working on Presence, though. The way Jimmy starts incorporating country and funk licks, just revolutionary.
That strange guitar of yours is in the movie "Mixtapes". If you go to Netflix you will see it on the promo shot. I always thought it was just something made out of a box of parts but it is actually a production model from who knows>>>
Okay how are the Blues Breaker pedals transparent when there is an early Marshall amp and tone that goes by that name - leaving aside the namesake pedal Marshall made (and why in the world would they call it bluesbreaker if it was aimed to be transparent?) I am not challenging anyone, I am just trying to understand.
I love the protein but looking at just the blues breaker side, it’s actually not my favorite. If you’re mostly using it as a boost , like Rhett, it’s fine. I’m also a big fan of the duelist, but I’m not sure if you’ll like it, Rhett, due to half of it being a tube screamer.
It would be cool to see jhs do a Marshall pedal in the style of the packrat and bonsai where it has a bunch of their pedals from over the years in it. I’ve got a jackhammer and it’s pretty awesome and I’d like one of their older pedals too
I have a real King of Tone and a Duellist. I usually end up using the Duellist. The Protein has been on my radar for a while. I think it may be my next pedal purchase.
@@kodykindhart5644 My main amp is a Landry LS100G3, a boutique, hand-wired, hotrodded Plexi, basically. It has an amazing clean channel too. I also have a PRS MT15, and a Yamaha THR30IIW. My main guitar is a Kiesel HH2, but I also have an Eric Johnson signature Strat, an American Elite Tele, a Charvel Justin Aufdemkampe signature model, and a Chapman ML-1 with Bareknuckle Irish Tour single coils and a Bareknuckle Holy Diver in the bridge.
Another excellent video. Your technical content is always hugely informative and the tour blogs were awesome. Love your stuff! You're an excellent and very knowledgeable player, and by all accounts a good dude. I've talked to people who've met you in person and both related that you were just like the guy we see in your videos ... friendly, aporoachable, just a genuinely good guy all around. So, I gotta tell ya, I was disappointed to catch video content with you and Mason Marangella. Dealing with that kind of person seems out of character. Still love your content. 😆
Whats your favorite pedal you picked up this year?
Source Audio EQ2. It helped me tame my FX Loop, since I can EQ before overdrive AND before modulation.
Not new to 2021 but I bought a J Rockett Melody and it’s incredible
My daughter loves her JHS 3 Series Delay that she received for Christmas before she goes to college to receive her Music degree as a touring musician!!
Source Audio True Spring.... it's love.
Picked up the TRex Acoustic Soulmate and it's the perfect setup for my acoustic gigs. Also grabbed a Mono Tour Case from your affiliate link to transport it. Phenomenal product as well!

Or like a control voltage on a modular synth? There are rumblings of modular guitar pedals around. Maybe have a look.
You could have every knob be like a push/pull knob on a guitar, and have it so when you pull it, it assigns that parametre to the expression pedal
That Ten Years Gone riff at the intro... 👌🔥
fucking perfect
I love the week in between Christmas and New Years - it’s so dreamy and peaceful
HotCake has to be one of the most underrated pedals. Still handmade after, what, 4 decades? Crazy good boutique pedal 🥰
And Paul still replied emails
I miss my HotCake. Dunno why I flipped it. 🙁
Hotcake has it's own thing and no other overdrives can be an alternative IMHO.
So sweet and smooth but also thick and punchy.
Adds more clarity and dynamics while keeping the amp's character intact.
Definitely a keeper.
It's not even a clone of some other dirt boxes or particular circuits and the originality deserves further recognition.
I mean, Hot Cake is cool and all, but...
PRUNES 👏 AND 👏 CUSTARD
PC makes two pedals, and they're both killer - but the Prunes & Custard makes sounds I've never heard from anything else. Squelchy, splatty, synthy fuzz that just ruins your signal's envelope. You'll think your amp is broken. It's glorious.
@@VinceWhitacre Maybe I should try that later👍
Thanks a lot Rhett.

I just got the Big Shot in the mail yesterday! Can’t wait to get it going!
Rhett’s “worst week of the year” basically just described what it’s like working in healthcare every week of the year.

"Ten Years Gone": awesome Masterpiece.
40:00 - That’s freaking hilarious!! Actually brought tears to my eyes 😭
the NU-33 is the most melancholy pedal I have had probably ever. it's quite cool really and does a killer chorus and leslie tone
too
1:18:23 Considering that, I believe you would like Cachalote Audio's pedals. Specially "Lisa Tap Delay", an experimental analog delay that looks like Millennium Falcon's cockpit. Highly recommend.
Nu33 with the endless summer!! 👌🏼👌🏼
You nailed my sentiment about this week! Can't wait for Tuesday 1/4!
Definitely love the tone, but it would be easier to tell what’s going on if the amp was a bit more clean!
Fellow verb junky, I have 5 on my board (an always-on RV5 as a medium/lite spring, then Context², Light Pedal, Decent, and Astral Destiny for all my other desires) and there's a 6th I need to squeeze in there I don't own yet, the Old Blood Sunlight. I like having them all at a moment's notice, and to stack, good verb is glorious. I think heavy verb is the easiest tones to just get lost in, you just want to stay soaking and marinating in that space, it's the best!
I also want one of those NU-33 pedals really bad, only thing holding me back is that crackle switch too, i absolutely adore that feature, I do, but it just seems like what I'd want max level to be on a knob, not a switch :( if that crackle can be less and less frequent with a knob, and have it's own tone knob, and the amount and tone were controllable via expression pedal, omg man, I'd have to have that pedal! I wanna be able to swell those crackles from a few bright instances here and there to where the crackle switch is now, just darker if it's gonna be so constant...so close, yet so far away, I agree the crackle is almost useless the way it is cuz it's just turned up to 11 all the time, it would be insanely useful the way I wish it were, at least for me, and I'd assume I wasn't the only one.

What’s up with the basement studio?
Oops not live
had the atreides on backorder from musicians friend for months. Finally showed up last week and I simply can't stop playing it. It's SO much fun. Reminds me of the beetronics swarm but a lot more controllable.
I’m really loving the J. Rockett Archer ikon, stellar dynamic overdrive/boost. It’s just like vitamins for your rig, makes it more bettererer…
That's not a great analogy, too many vitamins can make you sick
I bought my first pedal ever this year. An MXR Phase 90. That opened the flood gates to two different fuzzes, three overdrives, reverb, delay, a 10-band EQ and an aby pedal for two amps. 2022 looks to be busy too lol.
10 band eq is 👍. You can make anything sound good.
Shooooot
Great choices! Really covers all your bases

probably just me because i dont see anyone post about it, but the audio was really off sync ... video was almost unwatchable . still made it all the way through because guitar talks with rhett rules! hope others had a better experience with this one
It was noticable but not that bad :) probably about 20-30ms.
I figured it was something with my hardware. Guess it’s not.
Happy cgristmas from Spanish fan ;)
Beautiful intro! WOW!
The Blessed Mother is a fantastic pedal. For me it's a on all the time pedal.

It’s been about a half a year, and the Protein Pedal is my favorite overdrive, and I run it the same way.
I agree with you my least week too I hope you like the a few Electro Harmonix and strymon from Michigan a suburb of Detroit
That JHS Rat Pack is awesome....love it.
I often run my hot cake before the protein with the gain almost all the way down, so it's a boost into the protein. Worth testing out Rhett. Your version should have an internal dip switch that just smooths out the od/distribution a little, if you prefer that sound.
Had my eye on the solid gold fx vinyl engine for a bit. Lucky, my preferred local store has it out of stock, but will be back on the radar when it comes back in..
All the best to you and your fam over new years. Stay happy and healthy.
👍😎
I got the J. Landreth & Jackson Audio Golden Boy on Black Friday and i love it. Just the boost is amazing. Also is so well thought. Someday i'll use the midi functionality but right now i love it in front of my HX Stomp.
I also got a JHS Bender for my first fuzz because i love tonebenders with chors on my humbucker guitar. Now it's time to learn how to use it xD
Rhett - have you done or could you do a video about the RSA 23 head?
You mentioned how you were securing your pedals to your board. What was that specifically? Link to the product? Thank you for what you do.
What mic did you use for this livestream? Getting a much more broadcast mic vibe from you today.
Rhett! What was the name of that amp switcher? I need a good piece of equipment like that.
Did you say you were running the ultra sheer in front in this video would you typically put it in Your effects loop?
The only one I bought this year as the Way Huge Atreides. Its gnarly.
That's my favorite Zeppelin album to play. I've been working on Presence, though. The way Jimmy starts incorporating country and funk licks, just revolutionary.
LOL. "You should ask someone who can djent".
Very good advice for gigging, Rhett.
Much respect on the Black Crowes thing.
The audio was delayed the entire video
That strange guitar of yours is in the movie "Mixtapes". If you go to Netflix you will see it on
the promo shot. I always thought it was just something made out of a box of parts but it
is actually a production model from who knows>>>
you should try the okko pedals from germany! like the diablo ore the twin sonic... they would suit your playingstyl
Oceans 12… not new, but as a poor Fender tube spring reverb in the box, later Danelectro, but this is a nice contemporary solution.
Okay how are the Blues Breaker pedals transparent when there is an early Marshall amp and tone that goes by that name - leaving aside the namesake pedal Marshall made (and why in the world would they call it bluesbreaker if it was aimed to be transparent?) I am not challenging anyone, I am just trying to understand.
What brand amp shelving are you using? I’m looking for nice looking and solid amp shelf.
Love the Protein.
I wish you had listed the pedals in order of your use.
Missing Link Audio's Peacock Overdrive. It's Duane Allman's tone. It just nails it.
I love the protein but looking at just the blues breaker side, it’s actually not my favorite. If you’re mostly using it as a boost , like Rhett, it’s fine. I’m also a big fan of the duelist, but I’m not sure if you’ll like it, Rhett, due to half of it being a tube screamer.
Hey Rhett! Have you tried the packrat on bass?
It would be cool to see jhs do a Marshall pedal in the style of the packrat and bonsai where it has a bunch of their pedals from over the years in it. I’ve got a jackhammer and it’s pretty awesome and I’d like one of their older pedals too
Did Rhett already talk about the Strymon Sunset in his videos?
Great pedals and tones but what board is that exactly, obviously a Mono.
Would love to see a review of the bluguitar amp 1
That esquire spec solus is my favorite guitar of yours
Rhett, which reverb would you pick between the Endless Summer, Vongon and UAD Golden Reverberator?
Liked directly due to the intro!
I still.think that for 60 dollers my MOJO MOJO from EHX sounds as good as any transparent overdrive pedal out there. I love it!
I think you mean from TC Electronic...it is a great OD
Yes. Your fight Ops?
eventide wet reverb and delays are sonic bliss
I have a real King of Tone and a Duellist. I usually end up using the Duellist. The Protein has been on my radar for a while. I think it may be my next pedal purchase.
What amp/guitar
@@kodykindhart5644 My main amp is a Landry LS100G3, a boutique, hand-wired, hotrodded Plexi, basically. It has an amazing clean channel too. I also have a PRS MT15, and a Yamaha THR30IIW. My main guitar is a Kiesel HH2, but I also have an Eric Johnson signature Strat, an American Elite Tele, a Charvel Justin Aufdemkampe signature model, and a Chapman ML-1 with Bareknuckle Irish Tour single coils and a Bareknuckle Holy Diver in the bridge.
Don’t think you put the link for the Microcosm or whatever it’s called. Edit; Oh sorry it’s an honorable mention.
Huhhh, that's the first time I've heard this particular week described. I can see it.
Custard Pie is one of my go tos too
Another excellent video. Your technical content is always hugely informative and the tour blogs were awesome. Love your stuff!
You're an excellent and very knowledgeable player, and by all accounts a good dude. I've talked to people who've met you in person and both related that you were just like the guy we see in your videos ... friendly, aporoachable, just a genuinely good guy all around. So, I gotta tell ya, I was disappointed to catch video content with you and Mason Marangella. Dealing with that kind of person seems out of character.
Still love your content. 😆
Intro reminded me that ten years gone is the most underrated Led Zeppelin song
Is that an Izod sweater?
I wish you would do this before Xmas so I can ask santa what I would like to find under the tree 😃
Tried the coupon code for your tone course and it says invalid. Bummed!
I like that Protein. I can do a similar thing with a stock ODR-1 and a stock BD-2, but I've had my eye on the Protein.
Oh ... and Tube Screamers totally rule! 😄
Does your RSA23 have a master volume?
Damn… obscure song to start this with… AWESOME
