Was literally looking at this pedal just yesterday! Sounds like a sort of "glue" for your rig, really helps tie everything together. Great video. Cheers!
Great advice & demo for a great pedal. I have 2, and tried this tonight with one of them behind a fuzz and a Merman. I now know the best place for these pedals and how to use them in the coolest way. Cheers!
super helpful video- and great use of fuzz at the end. This vid subtly provides an answer as to some common criticisms of this pedal without calling anyone out for not understanding how to use it. I just grabbed one at a big discount on impulse, after just having an inkling that I could enjoy a comp with a tone knob bc I was enjoying my Route 66 V2. I guess you could say I'm a comp "late bloomer," sorry. Oh, and you might like my one vid- I figured out a poor man's phat mod for the Cinders (BD-2 clone). Peace.
Thanks! yeah this is an interesting pedal and it has a lot of power in volume, EQ, and compression on tap but used subtly it is magic! I checked out your mod vid and its pretty awesome man!
The Oxford fuzz is an amazing pedal. Not just a fuzz...it can go from warm overdrive to complete insanity...these pedals with the Neve trannies are great.
it depends on what you are using this pedal for, after dirt it could be used as a boost and/or a more tradition use of a compressor (i.e. how rack compressors come after preamps) or before dirt for a pre-boost (adding gain and compression from hitting the front-end of drive pedals with more volume) or for a "guitar pedal compression" (i.e. country or funk cleaner guitar with lots of snap) I wouldn't however use this pedal as a compressor/boost directly after another compressor because then you are stacking compression which can be amazing but know that this is an actual compressor pedal and unless you are wanting the stacked compression it will be very different than what you are expecting. hope this helps, thanks!
Hi... The V1 had Rupert Neve transformers... V2 Clearly does not - No logo or nowhere does it mention - Have you compared V1 vs V2 ??? Is there any difference? I just bought the V2 ... after buying it i realize the Rupert Neve name has dissapeared !
@@neoaureus the only pedal in the lineup that had a change in the circuit was de burnley distortion.. a lot of people complained that was a little dark.. so the v2 has a little more treble.. i have the burnley too and i love it, it sounds great and feels very amp like.. oh! this v2 enclosures are a little smaller, so you cant use batteries, but other than that, the harlow and wessex are the same circuit..

A great demo full of very useful advice. Thanks.
Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful Robert!

Thanks Bryan! Yes, it is like a Glue for the rig and pulls everything together in a very harmonically rich way!

I'm looking at one locally right now and I loved this demo! ... By the way, caught the Grizzlies cap, rough night to be a fan...
Thanks so much! And yeah…tough way to end the season for sure…grizz forever though

I agree this line of pedals is widely underrated. I have not played the Oxford fuzz, it sounds awesome though! That might be a good one to demo!
Hello. I heard you mention littlejohn prototype guitar cabinet. Are you making them or still making them? Thanks
Yes, my wife and I made a few prototype cabs. However, those are on an indefinite hiatus.
Great job, awesome pedal
Thanks!
Where would be the most ideal position for this pedal? Before dirt or after? After an actual compressor for sure??

in a namm video Reinhold said is the same transformer. Maybe some type of brand licensing ended,, but it is the same pedal
@@javiacustico …really wow…hmmm….huh? Great ! Thanks….

I can verify @javier salcedo is correct, I had a v1 and compared it to the v2 and both of my v2 Harlow's have the same Neve branded transformers
@@CollinLittlejohn Thank God….that’s was the attraction…hmm I could have opened it to check

sounds awesome David! I find that the Harlow really opens up my drive pedals potential!
