![How Many Overdrive Pedals Do You Need? [Pedal Order & Gain Stacking Like A Pro] - That Pedal Show](/img/n.gif)
Due to TH-cam I caught a case of GAS for a few months and ended up buying a KOT, TS-808, Keeley BD2, Strymon Timeline, Vertex SSS, Katana clean boost, a JHS mid EQ/Boost and a Blues Jr amp... I don’t know what I was thinking, I don’t even own a guitar.
Oh. And I have a Timmy on the way.
Get one
😂🎶
Kris knows his stuff, folks - his “808 into aTriple Rectifier” video from a few years ago was a game changer for a LOT of players I know.
Thanks so much Thomas! It’s actually more like 10 years old. Haha! Time flies.
Brilliant Video! I learned something today!
EytschPi42 Henning, dude, thank you! 🙏 Best thing ever: learning something new. Luckily it happens pretty much every day. Haha! Luv ya brother!
I think as important as the order of the pedals is the speaker you use. Same order of the pedals, but another speaker and you get a complete other sound.
I boost a MXR Badass Distortion with a Revv G2. It's amazing.
I also have a SD1 which i sometimes use in front of the G2, but it's not too useful because it gets pretty noisy and i can simply dial the G2 to pretty much not need a SD1 in front.
This into a EVH 5150 Iconic, which also has a built-in Boost, which I use as you did the King of Tone. Slight volume + gain boost.
This is if I want to thrash with the clean channel. If I want to use amp gain, i use only one of the pedals set to low gain (like 9 o'clock) and just use the EQ to shape and tighten the tone. MXR Distortion if i want to shape the Red channel with some added dirt... G2 if I want to shape it with low gain. Both tighten up the sound excellently.
Then i use either of those pedals if I want to add grit or more gain to the Ch1 crunch.
Pretty solid. Gives me like 5 distinct "channels" from a 2 ch amp.
I also have a Marshall MG30 cheap solud state. That one sounds really good with the Revv G2. And decent with the Badass and SD1 by themselves.
I just watched this video again and something huge I got from it is, the last pedal in the chain is your core tone and the pedals before it can help sculpt the sound of your core tone. This is awesome, I never really thought of it like this before!
Great video - cleared up a lot of things - thanks !
I use a Helix, but basically use it like a clean amp pedal platform. I stack 4 pedals in front: 1) Fuzz (AWB) for occasional use almost always with Minotaur , 2) tone shaper (Prince of Tone or Heir Apparent) on all the time, used to shape the tone for different guitars, 3) mid boost (Klon or Minotaur) low drive, used to add mid boost and more saturation when needed, and 4) Timmy (Teemah!) for final tone shaping and to produce the "amp distortion". I like use pedals instead of the amp drive for distortion because I can stack them for different tones and saturation levels, and I have more control over the distortion tone. With all these drives, I try to use the minimum amount of distortion needed for the song.
Very informative video. Thank you. Subscribed and looking forward to watching all your other videos.
Great video! And thanks for showing the Foxcatcher ... just ordered one, and boy oh boy, what an aaawesome pedal!
Love the video - very informative and beautifully explained -Thanks !
Strini Chetty thank you Strini!! So cool to hear you like it.
Man love your videos! so full of enthusiasm!
Thanks a lot man! That enthusiasm is the only reason I make these videos. 😅 If something doesn’t excite me I just don’t film it.
1. DOD Looking Glass - a sparkling dumble
2. Amp11 - creamy goodness
3. Phat Mod - you know it :)
Amazing vintage sounds!
What I miss is a good high gain sound :/
Yesss! For high gain sounds try the Bogner Ecstasy Red, Friedman pedals or even the Wampler Pantheon with a screamer or Archer in front of it. Killer tones!
My base tone is a Marshall-type crunch (prefer amp drive over pedal) similar to Malcolm Young's rhythm tone so not gainy at all. When I need more saturation, I boost it with an MXR Super Badass. When I'm plugged into an amp that cannot give me the Marshall crunch, I will use my Lovepedal Jubilee for said base tone, and again I boost it with the Super Badass. I know it's more typical to stack a lower gain pedal into a higher gain pedal, but for me, this works well, especially with the 3-band EQ on the SB.
This was awesome!!!
Thanks a lot Charles! 🙌
Thank you very much Kris. You have sorted out an issue of tone for me on this video. One simple change in my chain has made a huge difference.👍👍👍
Tom Corr duuuude that’s so good to hear! Really happy it helped you out. Have fun with your “new” setup. Cheers!
great advice. shows why it is good to always experiment with pedal order
just me thanks man! Yes, my own pedals keep on surprising me to this very day. Haha!
Your videos are so well done and so useful! You deserve a lot of attention Kris. I thought I had a lot of concepts acquired but I’m always learning something new and understanding issues I’m
Having with tone. Cheers from Argentina
Thanks so much Julián! I’m so glad to hear that. 🥳
Great and useful video, thanks a lot ! :D
My first step into the world of stacking drive pedals was a Visual Sound Double Trouble, which is basically 2 Tubescreamers in a single box (blew my mind at the time, such a thick sound !), which i quickly began to use to boost a Wampler Triple Wreck, offering me the metal tone i was searching for a long time.
As of now, my favorite is probably the Boss Waza Blues Driver into the Boss Waza Metal Zone into Gain 1 of the Victory VX Kraken, all 3 with fairly few gain, but the result is way more than the sum of the 3.
Cheers and keep on the great content, watching you talk gear is always a pleasant moment ! :)
Very very informative thank you very much!!!!!! i use affordable pedals for my VOX AC15C1 like the Boss DS-2, Boss OD-3, GE-7 EQ, EHX Double muff, Rat etc and i get an endless palette of sounds just by changing their order. I rarely use all of them together but i almost always use my eq pedal. EQ pedals are the swiss army knife for tone shaping....
Great video! I stack my ts808 into the KOT and love it. Id also love to see a demo of your favourite gear and pedalboard? Thanks.
Hi and a big hello all the way from Malaysia, Kris. Great video, love the tones u r getting from all the pedals. Just wanna share the way I stack my drive pedals. I have a Sinvertek N5 that I use for solos, volume set high but gain set quite low so it's overdriven but on the verge of distortion. I have a Mooer Cruncher with the volume set just above unity, gain set quite high. I use this for power chords /fills and also to boost the Sinvertek N5, getting more gain plus volume. These 2 pedals are all I need to go from squeaky clean(bypass everything) to saturated distortion. 😁😁
Great video! I basically do the exact same thing. I like to put full-range or amp-emulating pedals at the end of the chain and then push them with overdrives having a specific EQ characteristic, like a mid hump, for instance. I've got three ODs in my chain: Mythos Mjolnir (Klone) => Thorpy The Dane (Boost with Low Control + medium OD) => Snouse BlackBox (Bluesbreaker). Its gives me so many working combinations. Most of the time I leave the Dane-Boost on, because it fattens a strat sound significantly.
Great episode, man. Good script and focus and nice choice of gear. Keep it up.
And kudos for using the foxcatcher. I just learned about it on JHS's show and was impressed. If you're inclined to talk about it more, maybe even demo it using different amps/guitars, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be interested...
Cheers, man
Ricardo Lima Pereira thank you Ricardo! :)
The Foxcatcher is the prettiest and “cleanest” sounding low gain overdrive I’ve ever came across. I’m in love with it for years now. You’ll be hearing it on this channel for sure.
yo, kris - great video! i'm embarrassed to say; i didn't know why/how this worked - just went by ear and feel. i was told to treat the last gain stage as if you were going into an amp. cheers, man! these last few months have been killing it!
Christopher Miles much appreciated Chris!! That’s a good name by the way. Haha!
That’s a good way putting it: treat the last drive as your dirty amp sound. Unless you want the volume boost for lead of course. ;)
Loved your video!😎👍🎵
Box of Rock is speaking to me!
Korg Tuner/ Vtg Crybaby Fuzz Wah/ Dream Tone Midnight Fuzz/ Buffer/ AM Envelope Filter/AM Juicer/ Boss SD1/ AM King of Tone/ MXR Phase 90 script/ AM Stereo Chorus/ AM ARDX20 w Tap/ Humdinger Buffer.
Wet/Dry setup…. Sometimes Stereo🎵
Steel String 2 into Soul Food into SD1 into delay into Steel String 1. All set to mild breakup. Vox AC15CC1. Les Paul JR,Tele and Strat
I use a spark mini booster into my od/distortion. I control the level of overall gain with the guitar volume for base tone then for leads I use my effects loop jumped with input and output volume matched around 11:00 to 12:00 for leads. I use the Bassman channel of my fender super sonic and get monstrous tones.
Wow thanks i really enjoyed that video,
My favorite stacks are the Maxon OD-808 in front of the Horizon Precision Drive that is tight!!
Also The Boss SD-1 in front of the Proco Rat!!
The SD-1 the most versatile overdrive on my board it sound good on any setup,
An interesting thing i do is mixing different levels of different drive pedals in parallel with the boss LS-2 !
What i really want to try now is the JHS Double Barrel wich is basically the Moonshine and the Morning Glory in one box. Those are based on respectively a TS808 and a Marshall Blues Breaker 😅
I use the Bogner Ecstasy Blue and Red pedals for my main low and high gain sounds and sometimes boost them with a tubescreamer. Especially the Ecstasy Blue gets some really nice extra sustain and gives you that lovely "Lukather single soil"-sound!
Sebastian Laue The Ecstasy pedals are killer!! Good choice! I also love my ecstasy red. Insane when used as preamp too, not only as a distortion pedal. Cheers buddy! :)
This is so good! I was thinking of it the opposite way. But just recently I discovered that, for example fuzzes sound best first in the chain, then I shape the tone with my Revival Drive.
Perfect! The Revival Drive is super versatile so you have a lot of tonal options to shape the tone of the fuzz. Awesome choice! :) Cheers
Great video Chris! I use three Pedal stack tricks. 1. Tumnus deluxe into a Wampler Belle over Drive (Flatter mids). 2. Boss SD1w on custom setting (Lower mids growl) into a Mostortion (TS Style sound with really amazing chewiness and transients - this is my favorite). 3. Ibanez TS 808 into a MXR Super Badass Distortion for my higher gain stuff. I can really just about achieve all the sounds you need on guitar with these. Oh… Also, very important. Playing a volume pedal against the guitars volume knob (no treble bleed pots) will yield a whole other sonic dimension to all three of these combinations. Try them and see. Please leave a comment I’d love to hear your thoughts. 🤘
Great info! Im stacking plumes to carlmartin plexitone to clean laney lionheart. Takes time to find the perfect combination.
vilukissa It certainly does take some time. That sounds like a really cool setup you got there.
Kris. Just found this video today. I'm just put my first pedalboard together today. I ended up stacking my BBE Green Screamer to Boss Blues Driver to my trusty old Keeley Super AT MOD. My amps are two Pignose G40vs on ABY switch with junk stock speakers-plan on swapping those out- It's sounding pretty good. Earlier tonight I had the Super AT MOD and the Blues Driver switched around. It sounds a lot better with the Keeley at the end of the chain. Thanks man.
Sounds like an awesome rig! Have fun experimenting with the order of the pedals!
Hey Kris,
Awesome video. I was running a Wampler Pantheon into my Tumnus Deluxe into a Fender DRRI. After watching your video I think I'll switch them around and see what happens. P.S. I just referred a friend to your TH-cam channel. Thanks
Great video, the only thing I disagree with is that the super phat can not be used to boost the revv2, the super phatt is also quiet versatile and can be setup like a blues breaker to boost what comes after it in the chain . Great vid, thank you
9:53 this sounds gives me GAS for that Keeley pedal 🤩
My type of videos
yeh man been messing around with mad professor sweet honey low into keely red dirt and phat mod and pro autio mantacore med. gain can go from sweet home alabama to panama. sounds really good playing thru fen. hot rod deville
Yo thanx !
I´m using a Koch Twintone MkII on the clean setting. The my always on Pedal is the Lightspeed from Greer Amps. After that I have the Okko Diablo plus and the Mad Professor Supreme or my King of Tone - depending on what I´m going for:-) It works very good for what I´m doing.
frank engelmann Okko is awesome!! Great rig Frank! Thanks for sharing
Hey man..nice video...so is it better to put the highest gain pedal on the last? And the overdrive that has mild gain in front?
I just tried a klon ktr and Friedman dirty Shirley combo. Both of them going Into a jtm45. Interestingly I like the dirty Shirley first. I’m running it pretty dirty into a relatively clean ktr. It just seemed fatter that way.
Fantastic video, I'm not into time based effects or modulation too much. However I really love gain stacking. Problem is I run 3 amps simultaneously, Carvin X-50B with 4x12 cab, Marshall JCM800 4010 combo with a DV-77 speaker, and a Peavey stereo chorus 2x12. The gain stack for now is first to last, Ibanez Nu-tube screamer, MXR Zakk Wylde overdrive, Boss HM2, Boss SD1, MXR EVH 5150. Those are run through the loop section of the Revv G8 gate. On a Earthquaker Swissthings pedal to Split to 2 amps. Now I have a MXR stereo chorus on the second loop of the Swissthings, so off the mono out on the MXR Chorus I run the Peavey amp off that. Not the most ideal way to run it, but until I find a switching unit that I can afford this is how it is lol.
Any input on this signal chain would be greatly appreciated. Can't believe I missed this video, I love your content, Cheers!
Hey Kris!
Awesome video I learned a lot about stacking
I currently have a:
1. Greer Lightspeed
2. EHX Crayon
3. EQD Plumes
4. Source Audio L.A. Lady for different heavy gains and fuzzes.
What do you think about this?
Very nicely detailed. I have a old DigiTech multi-effects pedal so I kinda sudo this. I really liked the sounds you achieved. That Revv...... now give the elf his damn guitar back!
TeMpiSSeD Haha! So you’ve seen that picture? You stalker! 🤣
By the way, that was an other silver sparkle guitar (a Knaggs) so I hope I can keep my Fusion. I’ll talk to him.
You know what is great to stack is fuzzes. Sometimes when you stack fuzz, you can get a more usable tone.
J Steen absolutely man!! You just unintentionally teased a future video on this channel. 🤣
@@KrisBarocsi ha ha, looking forward to it. 😁👍
@@KrisBarocsi sweet, I was missing fuzzes and boost in this vid 😉
I love the content..I really hope you can help. I'm new to the tone chasing, I've spent my career with a 50 watt marshall tube head and very few pedals and was perfectly content. But now I'm older and want a bluesier tone so I dove into the pedal platform arena. I love that Hendrix/Texas tone, but I'm not an SRV clone. So with much research I got a victory duchess V40 ,a cheap clone and a tube screamer. My guitars I'm using a core John Mayer silver sky and a 96 USA lonestar strat. Contrary to what you advise I use my clone as my rithym crunch then into my TS for lead boosting. I seem to be on the right track but rolling off volume to clean up my clone crunch is just not happening, It just sounds like crap,I find myself doing the tap dance trying to stomp all these pedals for dynamics. Is it because my clone sux? It's a 40 $ wish clone but it's sounds great.I've thought about upgrading to a J Rockett ,a centavo, or a tumnus , but I didn't know if my pedal order is screwing me up or if it's my choice in clones? I've even considered a prince of tone to replace my cheap clone, supposedly I can roll off with the prince. But I've also heard great things about the Nobles ODR. I know alot of this is personal preference, but I need some direction. Please,my head is spinning, lend me your expertise, I would be forever greatful.
Thank you Kris, I am working on this issue currently by using 3 boost/light OD pedals and a blues driver into a very clean Fender Pro Junior.
My current path for the next few days are: Lovepadal amp11 - EP boost - Lovepedal Jubilee - Boss BD
Lord CirJames ohh dude that’s an awesome selection of pedals. I was very close to buying the Amp11 myself. Then I somehow convinced myself that I really have enough overdrives already. Haha! That might change though. Possibly very soon. Haha
How’s theLovepedal Jubilee? Never tried out that one.
@@KrisBarocsi The Jubilee on my old Fender Pro JR sounds good and adding dirt sounds convincing but the attack and clarity is what i really love. On all my od pedals I use them as a boost and it just adds more color to the amp.
Keep up the great videos I always learn something new.
@@KrisBarocsi there is nothing like "enough overdrive pedals" :D
I have a Mooer Cruncher (CrunchBox type pedal) with a mid/almost high gain setting and use my TS808 clone to boost the volume and tight the sound a bit for my lead tone. I do that when I'm using a clean amp, but when I use the drive from the amp, I use it in a low gain setting to be able to clean it up nicely with my volume knob on my guitar, then I use the Mooer in also a low gain setting to get a more distorted sound, but I don't like how it responds, I can't use the TS because I use it for solos, which pedal should I buy? I'm thinking in a Boss BD-2 or a Klon type pedal
Electro harmonix soul food ia a great budget alternative to klon. If u want an expensive one then buy the j rocket archer
Awesome video. Any advice on how to listen drive pedal to see the difference between those which has the mid hump and those more flat? For me its not so easy unless it say tube screamer or similar. Thanks
Jose Abel that is a great question! I bet many people want to ask it but most are simply too afraid to ask it.
You’ll get the answer in my 4th Comment Time - Q&A video. Cheers man!
My gain pedals are 1. Greer Lightspeed 2. The Southland. Hard to beat that combo.
I am stacking the following: Keeley Compressor plus into Paramount into MXR Timmy into Wampler Moxie. What’s your opinion of the order?
Awesome video on stacking pedals. Were you running the amp through the OX? It sounds awesome!
Thanks man! Yes I was running the OX. What you hear is the pedals, REVV head clean channel, OX cab simulation straight into the Audient iD44 audio interface.
Thanks for the reply. Your videos are very informative and your playing is amazing. Keep up the great work
I just got my Revv G4 and I'm excited to start stacking it. I was curious what you thought about stacking a fuzz against it? Or stacking fuzz in general?
I like OD after my fuzzes.
Awesome video, Kris! Just started stacking overdrives recently. Would you stack a Tube Screamer TSMINI before a Boss Blues Driver BD-2? My signal chain: Empress Buffer+ Boost -> TS MINI -> BD-2
Absolutely yes!! Awesome duo those two! And yes, TS first, BD-2 second. Cheers
@@KrisBarocsi Thanks for the reply! Will they work well with the Empress Buffer+ Boost?
I use a mxr distortion+ vol max gain min to push some fatness into my mt-2 or a keeley modded mt-2 on a low gain setting pushing my REVV G3 for a mid boost 🤘🏽
Poo Ninja that sounds siiiiick dude! Would love to give your rig a go. 🤘
from clean to dirty like .... you know 🚽😂
Kris Barocsi I run it into a 1 12 floor monitor pointed at my face,212 fender open back cab, 412 sealed sunn cab and into a medium sized pa all in a 4x5 meter room 🤗 it sounds massive. your welcome to pop by if’n your in the area 👍🏽
Hello
Ts 9 in front of a boss sd1 ??
I use my TC Zeus OD into the TC Magus DS
They have all the gain I want but it’s difficult for me to find a proper balance, so I can boost my solos without losing the character of the pedals…
Hey Kris, really liking your own content! Just got a Dynamis myself, looking to get a pedal for those 80's DeMartini/Lynch/VH1 etc tones that I just can't seem to dial in on the amp (maybe I suck). Would you advise a SD Diamondhead, a REVV G3, or...? thx a bunch man.
For Van Halen1 Wampler Pinnacle is really great (and it is not crazy money)
@@stanislavmigra thx man, will check it out
@@stanislavmigra Man I have to thank you. Strangely I was unaware of that pedal, checked it out, and just got my Pinnacle Deluxe v2. To quote a YT star of bass... O-M-Gee... Epic!! (slap-a-like NOW etc lol). This pedal does everything I was searching for and then some, from early Priest to Queensryche to VH1 to hair metal and every tone I loved in the 80's, I am truly blown away, I can't remember the last time I was so inspired by a pedal... and through my Dynamis it sounds monstrous, my 1x12 has the punch of a full stack! The quest is over mouahaha mouahahah. Thx so much for the heads up dude. \m/
@@wasichu66 glad to help, enjoy ;)
Interesting video. What kind of drive the Boss BS2 is? What additional drive you would stack it with, and in which order? Beside that, I have also an Apocalypse fuzz that's first in the chain (does not work well in other positions) and I rarely stack it with the BD2. So, an other option would be to add a boost (fuzz > boost > BD2). Any recommendation?
paolo caputo The Blues Driver is an overdrive with quite some tele (EDIT: sorry, I mean treble) and low end. It also lacks some midrange. The order is great how you have them: the BD2 should be right at the end (last drive pedal) and most fuzz pedals work best at the front.
You could try a clean boost between them or even a drive with more mids, just to have that option too. If you’re looking for a great clean boost with some tonal options check out the Xotic Super Clean and the Super Sweet (Watch my latest video for those) and if you want something midrangey, the Tube Screamer (and all the TS type pedals of other brands) will be good.
@@KrisBarocsi thanks for the reply. I guess I'll look more into the 2nd overdrive option. Thinking about the EQD Plumes.
Awesome video. Is that fusion with stock pickups still? Cheers from Portugal 🎸🔥😄
Hey man, yes, the fusion still rocks the original pickups. I need some time to do some thinking, testing and research. First I also need to finish up my Squier bass. haha!
@@KrisBarocsi okay now that glittery baby is one step closer to my christmas tree 😄😋😂
But I'm still curious to see what pickups you'll put there cause I too love the bell like quality of a tele regardless and would love some of that in a HH config too 😝🔥🎸
Man, like 90% of guitarists, i look at suhrs and prs and andersons as dream guitars....but since the day i have this harley benton...i haven't been able to get it out of my head!! Great playing and content as always....
Anmol Singh thanks a lot man! Yeah these Fusion models are surprisingly good for sure. I enjoy playing it a lot.
So, compressor to a chorus to a behringer phazor,to another phaser, to a orange burst to a ds1 distortion to a big muff nano to amp hot mess, love it though
Kris I stack a Fuchs plush drive in front of a Jhs Andy Timon's
The plush makes it rounder and pushes mids the AT provides the grit and bottom end without fizz
The other way round and it's mid hump mush all the way
Paul Dugdale good selection and great order! I would’ve done the aame thing. Cheers!
Bought a BOR and wasn't able to use it as a high gain pedal like people use to see in many reviews of this pedal.
But it works perfectly as a low gain overdrive to me (gain around 10 o'clock) and when I need more gain I put a BB Preamp in front of it.
Do you find the boost section of the pedal adding a little sparkling characteristic to the sound or is it just me?
Hey Erick, I agree 100% about the BoR. Have you seen my newer video on it? That describes my experience with it and shows how I love using it. Spoiler: It’s not gonna surprise you a lot. Haha! You’ll find the video on my Gear Corner playlist. Cheers
Hi Kris,
Can I get a metallic sound out of a Klon and KOT (STACKED)?
I'm eyeing to get clones of these two.
But afraid that I won't get the tone that I want lol
Do you mean a good metal tone? Well I love a klon into KoT for high gain but if you want a really mean metal tone put an eq pedal after them to shape the tone even more. Then you can get any heavy tone out of them.
👍🏽👍🏽
(long post alert)
At the moment I have 3 gain pedals at hand. TC Electronic MojoMojo, TS808 made in late 80ties (which is not mine and I have to return it soon) and EQD Bows.
I use this in front of Marshall 15h (no FX loop). The problem with this amp is, that clean channel has very little break up and gain channel have too much breakup and gain.
So I use the EQD bows kinda like my first pre-amp tube of my "crunch" channel. It has on its own kinda tuby and very nice breakup if pushed by other pedals. And my "fx loop" for delay, tremolo and reverb is between EQD and my amp.
I run the MojoMojo first with as much gain as I like and then into TS808 with some gain and volume at noon. I found out, that when I push MojoMojo with something in front it has too much bass end and amp just "farts" because of it. But when I run it intu TS, the lowend is shelved and top end bit smoothed and it sounds perfect.
So now I have clean sound (no drive pedals) onto that I can run MojoMojo for bit of breakup and TS808 for lead boost.
Then I have my "crunch" channel when I engage the EQD bows, I can push it with the other pedal for more breakup and stauration.
And I have my high gain sound (without reverb and delay) with my gain channel pushed with TS808.
I have to get some good pedal in the place of 808, Im thinking about Keeley Red Dirt mini.
I'd suggest either a keeley modded TS or the EQD's plumes. I have a keeley modded TS and it blows me away. And bear in mind that I use it with the gain off! The JHS bonsai is another good option...
@@_RLP I cant get Keeley moded TS here, so I was thinking about Red Dirt as it should be TS with all Keeley mods available thru dip switches.
JHS bonsai is waaay to expensive.
EQD Plumes looks like good choice too and cost the same as Keeley Red Dirt.
@@stanislavmigra Not sure where you're at, but you can get pretty much anything on reverb... However, if you're set on the red, go for it. It's a fine choice.
Cheers
@@_RLP yes, but with shipping, Im over the price of Bonsai. Thanks for reply 😉
@@_RLP chcecked The Plumes and it kinda starts growing on me. First, it has the switch outside (no need to unscrew and fiddle with tacky dip switches), second it has also asymetrical clipping option and last but not least ... it is EQD pedal and Im huuge EQD fan :D
Kris what's that run you do at 14.54 I love it
Tab or a video on would be awesome
Paul Dugdale Hey Paul, the video is over at 14:54 🤷♂️😁
Which run did you mean?
@@KrisBarocsi Kris I was tired wrong number !Doh! It's the run at 11.58
Thanks for replying
Paul Dugdale ahh that one. Sure man, I can make a Licks with Kris episode out of that one. It’s one of those runs I always play, even though I’m trying not to. Haha! Can’t help myself repeating it.
I like my Timmy pushing my Wampler Tumnus Deluxe
Brett sick combo man! I’d love to play a Timmy finally. I’ve heard so many good things about it.
I stack my sd1 in front of my Keeley Aria
T Rex Møller 2 into Mad Professor Sweet Honey with a low gain setting.
