Out of all gear I’ve ever sold, these pedals are what I regret selling most. My dad bought me some of these when I graduated from acoustic to electric and he saw that I was learning really fast. That tube screamer was basically my guitar sound from my old band.
Thank you! The neatness is much thanks to the pedalboard itself, primarily because it has built-in cable management on the underside. However, I do like to keep my cables tidy and under control since I'm destroying enough stuff as it is in my daily life and don't need f'd up cables to go along with it, haha!
Oh, damn! You sure did get lucky there. They can't have known what they had. I had to pay 300 Euro to a Russian seller on Reverb to get mine... Definitely the most expensive pedal in this collection.
It was rather easy to find just a few years ago (I barely had to pay anything for my first one) but yeah, somehow it got much harder to find now, at least if you want a somewhat decent price.
That one sure has the best color! But my actual favorite (if we're being serious for a moment) is the Weeping Demon wah for guitar and the Synthesizer Bass for bass.
A Tone-Lok board really, really looks like a very small battalion of tanks. I find myself really curious about the Lo-Fi for some reason. Any plans on trying to show them off in more... flattering circumstances? As in sound-wise?
Haha, it does indeed look like that! Ironically, Ibanez once had a pedal series called SoundTank, but they are fugly as hell and didn't sell very well. I can make a dedicated video on the Lo Fi, indeed. Any other Tone-Lok pedal that deserves the same treatment, in your opinion?
Ibanez Noisely, haha! That's now officially the new name for this entire pedalboard. Thank you, man!

i think they are both beautiful and underrated, the fuzz and the lofi pedal are my favorites BUT lofi pedal in the effectsloop and it works super well for bridges in songs
I've tried the Lo-Fi on drums and it's awesome for that too!

@@MrGul fantastic pedal! and the fuzz is so versatile with a setting that sounds like the muff and a setting that sounds the tone 1 on the shinei superfuzz :) ... do they still produce that series ?
Unfortunately not, it was discontinued surprisingly quickly. I guess the guitar world wasn't quite ready for such logical awesomeness at the time. Hopefully it means that my collection will increase in value over time.

@@MrGul crazy, the enclosure was a genius idea :( i think so! Some of these pedal went up in price already if you check that on reverb
@@MrGul thanks, I plan an Ibanez tone lok pedalboard for bass, since I already have a WD7, green TS7, PD7, FZ7 and DE7... just need a CF7 for my Tool inspired songs... And the Boss pedals, I have 30+, I belive all the main ones, looking out for a OD1 to complete the OD/DS section... Nothing super rare, but I have a brand new PW2, and I just bought a BE5 which is realy great...
@@Marko9801ZG Oh, a BE5! That's cool! I've only seen those in pictures, never in real life. The buttons look so small (judging from the pictures and videos I've seen) that I believe I'd find it rather difficult to adjust "in the heat of the moment" on stage, but it does sound fairly good (again, judging only from what I've heard in TH-cam videos).
I feel much better about my cabling OCD after watching this 😂. I also can't help but suspect the following internal dialogue may cross your mind one day soon... "Gig time! I should grab my pedalboard... orrrrrr, I could leave my wheelbarrow in the shed and put this HX stomp in my pocket instead.... hmmmm... decisions, decisions....' It may be larger than a Helix, it may have less overall functionality than a Helix, but it does look waaaay more impressive than a helix. Top job.
I'll make sure not to show you the underside of the board, because you'd probably have an anxiety attack or something... Well, perhaps not that bad, but it isn't the most professional cable management I've ever done. The pedalboard has three "tunnels" that are a part of the structure, and they're hollow, which means that you can run/hide cables through/in them. As for the HX Stomp, I'm still not sold on that unit. It sounds great, has a plethora of options, and has a huge advantage in its size, but I find it hard to navigate the menus when you just want to tweak a parameter of something really quickly on the go. I did go the digital route for a while when I used my Kemper for gigging, having a MIDI floor controller (with the UNO for Kemper chip installed) to switch effects and amp sounds, but I really missed tweaking knobs on physical pedals and thus gave it up (I still have the Kemper and the MIDI controller, but very rarely use it). However, during the last couple of years I've been trying to downgrade the size of my pedalboards (I have a bunch of different ones for various musical settings as well as separate boards for bass and guitar). This particular pedalboard was purchased with the sole intention of housing the Tone-Lok collection and it will most likely never be used for gigging - I hope...
I have, and it works very well on bass! Much thanks to the normal/low range switch (not available on the Jr version) which basically drops the operating frequency range to bass territory. It's quite big though, and really eats up pedalboard space. I recommend you checking out the Dunlop 105Q bass wah as an alternative, which is also available in a mini format.
Hahaha! Yeah, there's not much point to this, other than the point itself. I never planned to do something like this - I only collected the pedals for myself because I like them, but it wasn't my intention to go all nuts with them and use them all at the same time. However, I was asked to by multiple people in a guitar-related Facebook group and I thought "well, it can't hurt" (but it did hurt my ears).
A neutral position find the setting that sounds the best B less talky more play C there are so many different switches on each one of those pedals I either smashbox the 7th heaven and the face modulator the 7th heaven pedal is to make a 6-string sound like a 7-string the smashbox has three different settings in the face modulator is out of this world I wish it had an expression pedal for each one of the knobs
Also, (having now actually watched the video in full 🤣) the "turning everyone on at once but one at a time" sounds like it could be done tastefully with a repetitive riff where each time it plays a pedal is turned on.
Yes, that's exactly how they work! You just push 'em, and they'll pop in/out. I love that functionality, because when you have them popped in it stops the knobs from being accidentally changed when your foot touches the pedal(s) or when the lid of the pedalboard case touches the pedals. I wish more pedal companies did this!
@@YesItsReallyKeith I've been asking Josh at JHS Pedals to do an episode of this line of pedals, because he also has all of them (I've seen them on his pedal wall) but so far he hasn't... Just waiting and hoping that he'll one day get around to it!
@@MrGul it's funny you say that cause I was gonna ask you in the previous post if you think JHS has these cause they have like everything !!! hehehe !! I think he is the only pedal curator out there and he should really put his collection in a vault!!!

Я собирал их для собственного удовольствия. Основная цель никогда не заключалась в том, чтобы сделать из этого видео на TH-cam, но несколько человек попросили меня сделать это, и именно поэтому я это сделал. Эта коллекция создана исключительно ради меня самого, а не ради «профессионального» видео на TH-cam или какой-либо публичной известности.
@@MrGul дело не в профессиональном видео, а в том, что серия обладает своим интересным характером, который можно отразить только заменой или подмешиванием записной в линию звуковой дорожки. если цель лишь продемонстрировать педали, то всё вышло отлично. спасибо за видео и ответ! удачи🙏
It's not something I would have thought about doing myself, but when I posted a photo of my then newly completed Ibanez Tone-Lok pedal collection in a pedal-oriented Facebook group, people went nuts and started demanding footage of all the pedals' sound as well as how it would sound when everything was turned on at the same time. It took me a while to get around to it, but here it is!
Well you HAVE to make a video on each pedal please. Who else has all of them!
Out of all gear I’ve ever sold, these pedals are what I regret selling most. My dad bought me some of these when I graduated from acoustic to electric and he saw that I was learning really fast. That tube screamer was basically my guitar sound from my old band.

Great experiment at the end, you ended up with the perfect ultrasound tone
i have a green TS7! Found in a website that sells keyboards here in Brazil. For some reason, it was REALLY cheap. Got lucky in think
Oh, damn! You sure did get lucky there. They can't have known what they had. I had to pay 300 Euro to a Russian seller on Reverb to get mine... Definitely the most expensive pedal in this collection.
@@MrGul Oh geez! Mine was way cheaper than a standard ts9 or ts8. Cool to know! Thx for the info!
@@ubdejones1 Hold on to it for dear life!
Awesome, always wanted the DE-7, hard to find now
It was rather easy to find just a few years ago (I barely had to pay anything for my first one) but yeah, somehow it got much harder to find now, at least if you want a somewhat decent price.
Even the pink de7 what a gem
That's one of my top 3 favorites in the collection.
great collection
your favorite is surely the auto wah, because of it's color

Congratulations sir.
Thank you, sir!
Phaser PH7 and Lo Fi LF7 was my favourite pedals
I think it's a surprisingly good phaser (PH7) and the Lo-Fi was ahead of its time, imo.
I have ibanez pedals. Great pedals and sounds.👌
lovéit, have you ever used the wd7 on bass i've always liked the pedal but never heard it on bass and i've been fancying a dedicated wah
