Great advice on the Plumes! I've just got my hands on one, having this video in mind, and it's never coming off my board again! It was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! :D
I just started taking guitar seriously a couple years ago at 42. I knew nothing about distortion or any other pedals. Soul Food was my first ever because it was cheaper than the tumnus. I hated it at first. I just didn't get it right away. It drove me to do more research and i went and got the giant big muff reissue as #2. That fuzz was what i really wanted. Then i learned to put the two together and then i finally understood. Maybe it's because they're both Elecrtoharmonic that they go together like fish and chips. I eventually taught myself how to tune it in to do it's thing but Now i have a Santa Ana overdrive that sounds incredible by itself and Blows the soul food away with power and tone sculpting options up the wazoo. But nothing kicks off the Big Muff like that Soul Food. Now i have a board with over a dozen pedals with separate dry and wet loops. I've learned so much about the deeper aspects of electric guitar like 'You are not just playing the guitar; you are playing the amplifier also'. And it all started with noob challenging, Soul Food!
Ahh that’s awesome! So glad you’ve got into guitar seriously! 🎸 Strangely enough I’ve got a video coming out this week and one of the tips in it is to put an overdrive before your fuzz to help it cut through the mix better. Looks like you were already onto it! I used the Plumes in that video, but maybe I should give the soul food a go before fuzz. I don’t actually know the Santa, I’ll check it out for sure though!
@@thesethingsmakenoises i forgot to thank you for the video. Thanks! I'm always learning and i appreciate your approach. I decided to go with Fender pedals when the time came. I like that look like 1960's components from NASA. I think their Santa Ana overdrive is a wink at both, the town of Santa Ana, California and the artist Santana. They love their California references at Fender! I think the Lost Highway phaser is named after the David Lynch movie lol. Oh, yeah, that reminds me, my unpopular opinion: phaser before distortion. I love it!
I have both the Soul Food and the Plumes on my board. Then I got a used Source Audio Programmable EQ (v1). Put that right after my Plumes. Game. Changer. Now I have the Plumes, Tubescreamer (with more mids than the Plumes alone), Klon, Bluesbreaker, and a OCD. I'm seriously considering selling my Soul Food...
Great video as ever, keep them coming! Don't know if you've heard or played the EHX Hot Wax? It's a great sounding, great value 2-in1 drive pedal. One side the EHX Hot Tubes pedal, the other the EHX Crayon. Both are excellant pedals in their own right, but combined they stack well too. Got mine second hand for about £65 I think, bargain!
Yeah I’ve seen them about but never had chance to try one! Ohh I didn’t know EHX had a crayon pedal?! jHS have one called the crayon too don’t they? That thing looks awesome!
@@thesethingsmakenoises yeah I think your right re JHS. Just discovered your band on Spotify, love the music! See on your tour your hitting York on Sep 4th, I’ll try and make that. But you should try get a gig in Leeds on the 5th (better for me 🤣) before you head up to Dunfermline. Do you have a booking agent or your sourcing yourself? Happy to suggest some Leeds venues if it helps.
@@leigh9979 AH awesome, thanks for checking it out! Ahh amazing, yeah the tour coming up is an Music Venue Trust tour so it's all smaller cities/towns for this one. We'll be back in Leeds next year though for sure. Yeah our agent books the shows for us. Have played some awesome venues in Leeds before!
👏👏👏 all the way to the favourite rocket scientist in music. Honestly, I've played the video three times already - so harmonious the whole thing looks and sounds; this comes from a user experience tester (I'm not always nice 😃)
I've tried a real Klon once, and while it sounded great, I was terrified of damaging it and frankly I was so starstruck by even seeing one that I still can't compare it to other clones of it. Anyway, I've got a Soul Food in my board right now and I love it. Btw, I'd love to hear your opinion on smaller amp combos with one speaker. I'm slowly beginning to accept that my days of playing Marshall halfstacks are starting to be over. I know of all the options to smaller combos there are, but you are someone whose opinion I respect, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Yeah I would almost be too scared to hit the foot switch haha! Soul food is awesome isn’t it. Coincidentally, I just filmed a video that’ll be coming out in the next couple weeks all about the blackstar amp sim my band have just got that we’re gonna be using as a spare. I did a shootout with it vs a fender twin, and a Marshall origin 50. As a quick spoiler, unless you’re gonna be cranking up your amps super loud and sitting in front of it to get that awesome ‘feeling’ I’d be looking at something like that. Pretty much every time we need to add a little extra guitar part or something to a song we’re plugging into the sim as it’s so fast and to me, in a mix it sounds almost identical.
@@thesethingsmakenoises Thanks for the reply! Interesting, I'm not too familiar with Blackstar. I once had a small Blackstar head, possibly a 1 watt. Got it in a trade deal and sold it pretty fast. But I did try it a few times and remember thinking it sounded surprisingly good. I didn't need it at the the time though so it went to a new home. For the past two decades I've been playing only Marshall JCMs and JVMs hooked to 4x12 cabs. But I'm soon nearing 40 years and am not as active with music as I once was and I think it's time to look for easier amps. I'm thinking of either getting one of those modern small Marshalls or perhaps switching to Vox. I love the old Fenders too, but for some reason I feel like my heart is with English amps.
Great video as ever, keep them coming! Have you tried the EHX Hot Wax. A great 2 drives in 1 pedal. Got mine second hand for about £65 and well worth it. 😎

Soul foods pedal sounds amazing, For me the BD-2 Blues Driver by Boss is definitely my go to overdrive.
Thanks mate! I had the blues driver for years when I started my band. So gutted I sold it. Great pedal! 👌
@@thesethingsmakenoises i would love to get plumes pedal earthquaker device.
@@gazeunderthesunmusicSuch a great pedal!
The pedal all od-pedals should be compared to.
Great advice on the Plumes! I've just got my hands on one, having this video in mind, and it's never coming off my board again! It was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! :D
Same here, I don’t think anything will knock it off.

What was that riff you played when you were showing the soul food? That was dope af
Jon's sending my Dead Blow next week, can't wait to get my hands on it
Ahh awesome! You'll love it 🤘
I already love the bass voiced Spore he did for me years ago. Really interested in stacking the Dead Blow in to my other pedals like the Tentacle.
@@Shenesy1 I’m sure that’s gonna sound epic!
I love stacking the plumes and the soul food to get my distortion sound
Sounds awesome!
The plumes sounds great on bass on mode 3 too!
Oh really! That’s interesting, will let my bands bass player know!
mine is bad monkey from light overdrive to fuzzy distortion, sounds nice with reverb, kinda like plumes also
Ohhhh nice. I hope you bought it pr JHS video 💴 haha!!

Ooo yeah I really need to look into an EQ to be honest. Yeah might be worth selling it, although it’s still an awesome pedal isn’t it!
@@thesethingsmakenoises - it really is. Does breakup without colouring tone nicely at a fair price. But you have to keep the drive up.
god damn i genuinely fell in love with that electro harmonix pedal dude, shit gives me foofighter vibes for no reason and i love it dude
It sounds so good doesn’t it! And they go pretty cheap second hand too 🥳

Hmm I can’t actually tell haha. I think maybe drop c#

I have a Soul Food and it is a great pedal.
Awesome aren’t they!
I still want that lamp
Hahahaha!
What's your band called?
It’s called ‘October Drift’
@@thesethingsmakenoises cheers, listening now, good stuff!
Thanks so much!
Great video as ever, keep them coming! Have you tried the EHX Hot Wax. A great 2 drives in 1 pedal. Got mine second hand for about £65 and well worth it. 😎
