    I love that pretty much everything you demo, you eventually get around to seeing if it will surf. I thought the pedal sounded good, and had a lot of useful tones. Keep up the good work.

    They're a great company. They actually worked with me to figure out what pickups I needed for my PRS and ended up winding me a set of ODR's but with more balls, and the results are mind-blowing.

    You REALLY want to try the Statesboro Blues pedal....it is based on 2 of Duanes famous pedals he used ...the SWEEP rolls between a Fuzz Face pedal and then the opposite dials in Rhodium (I think that's what its called ..lol..) but it also has a separate gain ...and its is a KILLER sounding pedal for slide or just picking and chicken pickin for SURE!!!!! A good bit of the company is based on the tone of the Allman Bros band's live performance at the Filmore East !!!! Their amps ....pickups....pedals....speakers.....now they also do a cpl of others ..but that's the basis of a most of their products..

    I think you are a great player. I first saw you review the Kmise Pedals. After that I look forward to seeing you play with other stuff. It doesn't have to be perfect. I just need to get the basic sounds and work with it.

  • @middaymeds
    @middaymeds ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I don't really get this pedal. It sound good, but ZZ Top wasn't really known for having a unique guitar tone so what's the point? I understand doing signature pedals for artists that have an extremely recognizable sound like J. Mascis or Jack White but this just seems like a bridge too far imo.

      There are several 300 and even 200 guitars that are coming from over seas that are really GOOD for the price...some like the Jet 350 even the 300 punches well above its price!!! Ibanez has done a Strat ish guitar that not much more than 200 that's sweet!!!

  • @pete3767
    @pete3767 ปีที่แล้ว

    Probably not a compliment you hear often, but the recent-ish backdrop change (layout and lighting) looks really good!
    New intro is cool too 🙂 Makes sense why you wanted to drop the old one, I didn't have any opinions on it but if you find yourself disliking something you have to do often, why do it?
    Cool pedal though! Without realising, ZZ Top probably got me into fuzz before I even thought about learning guitar - that and the tone to Dire Straits's Money For Nothing, which was apparently Mark Knoplfer's attempt to mimic Billy Gibbons's sound.
    Edit: i always forget to leave a rude and nasty comment, so, uhh... you're.. a.. stinkypants? Yeah. Roasted.

  • @Paul_Lenard_Ewing
    @Paul_Lenard_Ewing ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This pedal came out in May. The best I can tell it is a modded Tube Screamer just like the Boss SD-1 which merely changed the diodes to create asymmetrical clipping. The Eliminator has swapped out diodes too, changed to germanium ones. In short it uses 40 year old topography. Soooo ... come up with a catchy name and do some good graphic art and you too can reinvent the wheel. WTF

I just bought a used Fender rarities telecaster like 2 weeks ago and put .07's on and I really like them. I think the 9.5 inch radius makes them better than the 12 inch I had tried before.

    I always wondered why anyone would even want to sound like another,- particularly another famous,- guitarist.
    I've spent decades trying to find sounds that work and speak for me, and have zero interest in even " intereptative " covers.That whole cult of worship has really turned me off since I was a beginner/ teen.
    Sounds like many Ge drives that use higher gain components that are still somewhat widely available, like the cheap and cheerful EHX efforts.Solid enough, but by no means unusual or exceptional.

  • @11000038
