I'll always remember what my original Keeley Java Boost manual says..."run the Jave Boost into a am amp that's ALREADY slightly overdriven" for best results. Treble boosters sound terrible going into the front of a clean amp.
I find that many people think they want “that sound” until they get it. 😂 Because they are use to hearing it in a mix and not by itself. Sounds awesome Chris! Keep up the great work. 🙏🏻❤️
As always great tone. I tried as described in front of a UAFX dream 65 and came up with a great direct in tone. Still the best is into a DRRI with an attenuator, was using a Weber max with the speaker motors, the thd sounds great. What IR is it?
I have a TS mini and I've never been able to get the sound I want, UNTIL... strangely enough, I put a Donner compressor in front of it and used it to push the TS a bit into my Fender Concert. and it actually worked. It made the overdrive sound creamier and less "brittle" as you mentioned. I've also had some success playing the levels of the two pedals off one another. ... One of these days I'll get may hands on a TT. I'd love to hear it.
If you use a blues driver into a overdrive pedal as a boost you can get the blues driver to act as a treble boost. if you have the tone nearly wide open a little gain and the volume up around 2 o'clock its a cool sound.
I have one fuzz pedal that doesn’t need to do this. Wampler velvet fuzz was designed not needing a loud ass amp. Very great pedal and one of my favorites! You can get Hendrix, Gilmore, EJ and loads more of tones out of it. I watched Wampler put a video out and I don’t understand a lot of pedal design but they basically put in a transistor or something to mimic a boosted amp already... idk like I said I know nothing about the build process. I just play it. But I highly recommend checking out the video Wampler has explaining how they did it. Either way it’s my favorite fuzz pedal because I live in an apartment and can’t play super loud.
I tried the Fender Hammertone Fuzz. About 2 to 5 is a nice fat overdrive sound. After that it quickly gets a good nasty, spitty fuzz. Add an upper octave switch….sold! I love it! I have a few others but this one is more versatile.
I second a video on order of pedals. Lets say we have a treble booster, germanium fuzz, a vintage wah, one of your Gypsy Vibes, and Octavia pedal. What order do we put those in to get best sound and try and tame all that noise? Can you help and show us the kind of noise to expect? amp setting? etc...
These are the pedals I currently have Boss Tone Bender TB-2w, a Sola Sound Tone Bender professional MKII (waited 4 years to get it. Was on the wait list. It is on its way now from England from Macaris). R2R Electric Treble booster, R2R Vintage Wah (got one of the last ones. #188. I am waiting for it to be delivered), Maui Funky-Vibe. I also have a King of Tone and one of those Marshall Blues Breakerss (the one that was reissued). What order and amp settings would you use? I want to also pick up your Octavia pedals. Please advise on order and how to reduce the noise if possible. Hahaha
Thank you for asking about the optimal signal chain order for guitar pedals! 🎸 While there isn't a definitive guide due to the subjective nature of sound, the best way to determine what works best for you is to experiment with different setups and split test them in the context of your own equipment. For my own personal preference, I prefer the order of Guitar > Octone > Gypsy Vibe > Fuzz > Texan Twang > BluesPrint > Chicken Quiff > Wah Wah > Amp. In case you need more information, please feel free to drop us an email so we can have a proper chat I hope this information is helpful to you!
Hey Chris, great vid! I was wondering, did you mic up the amp in this video or did you take a line-out right out of the hot plate? Only because I noticed that the right adjustment knob on the hot plate is all the way to the left (towards infinity) and I’m not sure if any sound is coming out of the speaker! Thanks!
I think there is something wrong with our Texan Twang. I run it into a Deluxe Reverb with the volume at 5 or higher and I have to run the pedal almost off to keep the volume under control. Even at a quarter on the pedal it increases the volume too much and ruins the mix.
So here's a good question I know some pedals only sound good if there the first in line but what if you have multiple pedals like that then what order do you put them in? I mean can you get an impedance box to return your signal to how it would be coming directly from your guitar and why don't impedance sensitive pedals just come with one installed at the input and output it would make things so much easier for the player
I have a Fender Twin Reverb 65 Reissue + Tube Amp Doctor Silencer 4 Ohm Attuentor and don't know the right settings for my PedalPawn Texan Twang.. can you please give me some Setting advice?
So if using an overdrive instead of a cranked amp would you run the PPTT in to the overdrive or the other way around? Any particular type of overdrive that works great with the Twang?
That’s correct, I would personally place it first before the overdrive 😊 I’m definitely biased, but this Pedal stacks perfectly with our BluesPrint (or any good TS style circuit would be ace plus many other styles of Overdrive to be fair) 🟦
Thank you so much for the support and we totally understand. If this is of interest, we have one available at the moment for 15% off which has a tiny blemish on, so we are marking it as B-Stock. Please send us an email if that’s of interest 🤠
Thanks so much for the interest. Please feel free to drop us an email to discuss, and also bear in mind that we have a trades program and we would do a straight trade for that particular Pedal in this instance 😊🟥⬜️
I need genuine help with my pedal order. Kingtone Fuzz v2, kingtone rise treble booster, vox wah, fulltone deja vibe, kingtone duellist v3, amplified nation big bloom, Hudson broadcast dual, cali 76 stacked. In no particular order of course cos I can't work out what I want! I know where my delay and reverb go 😂 there's not really a right or wrong, I've just overcomplicated everything with too many drive stages. Just wah, fuzz, vibe and drive is enough hassle alone for me. 😢
Fuzz, Vibe, Wah then drives after. Thats it. This way fuzz interacts the way it should with guitar, vibe and vibe and do its thing, wah before drives. This allows everything to shine. Some prefer wah last after drives but it never works for me
Oh yea, pedal pawn.. I want to try your gear, just never had chance to! I've never even seen a pedal in real life. I look forward especially to trying your vibe but I wouldn't be surprised if I liked a fuzz aswell! They sound great in demos.
Oh, Cali 76 first. You seem to have too much going on or too many effects unless you need them all. Less is more in tone, yet if you want all the colors-go for it. Just don’t let TH-cam giant pedalboards dictate what works for you and your rig or else you will likely never be satisfied and chasing even having a decent tone to work with. Use your ears for the tones you hear in your head and that’s what will get you close to happy as one can be

If the Tuner is true bypass, by all means put it first in the signal chain, though if it has a buffered bypass, then we would recommend placing it after the aforementioned pedals. Thanks a lot for the question 🎸

Dang man! You totally nail the SRV tone and vibe. Well done.

So, I've been running the TT or other treb booster before the OD. Before or after, which do you prefer and why? Thanks, Chris!
Chris the world needs you to make a 2 in 1 Texan twang and fuzz with an order switch 👀👀
Thanks so much for the cool suggestion ❤️
Now that would be cool

Absolutely love my twang.couldnt live without it.PEDAL PAWN IS A SPECIALTY CO.IF YOUR SEARCHING FOR THAT JIMI OR STEVIE TONE,START HERE.
I totally dig that reverb!! Still tone chasing though...

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Chris also happy st Patrick's day ❤😊
Absolutely, this circuit has to have something to work with to push or else it ain’t vibin’
Totally, thanks a lot for watching mate

nice playing! + wondering where the backing track is from
Thanks so much. This is just a quick backing track that we created before the video 😊
nice track too in that case... hope you catch the rare srv/hendrix stuff on my channel btw. cheers@@PedalPawn
@@PedalPawn I want that backing track! Possible?
I love treble boosters and I would love the Twang that you make but I just can’t afford one.

I am very temped to get your new Gypsy Vibe but currently have the Funky-Vibe Maui. I wonder how they compare.
From what I’ve heard the gypsy vibe is throbbier

Can I put a tuner Infront of this or your fuzz pedals or do they both have to be the first thing my guitar signal sees?
Most fuzz circuits need to go 1st in chain to sound the way most people want them to.
If the Tuner is true bypass, by all means put it first in the signal chain, though if it has a buffered bypass, then we would recommend placing it after the aforementioned pedals. Thanks a lot for the question 🎸
Well, it's treble booster 101. You don't use a treble booster at low volume!
