In this episode Daniel and Mick run through five pedals that we consider to be ‘modern classics’. That’s to say definers of their particular genres. Yes, we could have chosen other pedals - there are so many! - but the real point here is to hear them through the three main ‘classic’ amp types: Vox, Marshall and Fender.
It’s a long episode, but there are a lot of combinations to get through. The notes below will help you navigate to particular sections if you don’t have time to watch the whole thing. So without further ado…

Clones for people who dont have too much money:
TS - Behringer vintage tube drive
OCD - EHX glove
Klone - EHX soul food
Zendrive - mooer rumble drive
Riot - mooer solo
Thanks heaps!
Nobody can afford real pedals.
I just received my EHX Glove today and it sounds really good through my Fender Super Champ x2
I have an OCD (which actually is fairly reasonably priced) and an EHX Glove. I prefer the EHX Glove. The OCD has a TON of low end and, with humbuckers, I can't back it off enough to keep things from getting mushy. The Glove has a tighter sound for higher gain with humbuckers, IMO. My OCD is v2 for what it's worth. The Glove is a really good pedal!
Or the joyo ultimate drive (OCD).
Btw I saw a thread where some guy asked for pedals to make his marshall sound more like a rockerverb and someone proposed the OCD. I actually tried this both with an ampsim (where I tested a rockerverb vs a OCD into a marshall) and my ultimate drive into a marshall at home. And it actually do make it a bit more "orange-y" sounding. That's pretty cool. I think it is due to the drive on the pedal sounding a bit fuzzy and the thing the HP-switch does to the low mids.
I must tell you something. I've been with you week to week for over a year now. Watching your videos has had the most impact on my sound and style until now, period. You're not only brilliant hosts but more important - amazing, inspiring players I admire. Thank you!
+Harry Blackhole Wow, thank you Harry. Something about the way that opened was ominous, but it finished just fine. :0) Thanks for watching - we’re totally stoked that you find it useful and inspiring!
Been going through these old ones again to look for a new OD. Dan's "Oh yeah!" exclamation at around 14 min. reminded me of what I have always loved about this series. These two guys love pedals. And it shows. Awesome!
I don't think a guitar show can get much better than this. well organized, funny and entertaining. I'm a fan for sure.
+Paolo Peretti Thank you Paolo - much appreciated! This 'well organised' thing though... what is that? ;0)
Also doesn't hurt that these guys apparently can play every style of music, and do it it unbelievable amounts of taste.
How you guys can make an hour long about just 5 pedals so damn entertaining is astounding. Love you guys
This is the only channel with videos as long as 56 minutes that I watch all the way through without fast forwarding.
In the US, we say opposite things are "like Night and Day", or we might say "Apples and Oranges", or here in the South I hear "that's a whole different ball game" a lot.
Richie Worrell got it! Those are the examples I was going to give for what we say in The States
Eat some cheese. Now eat some chalk. You'll totally understand the simile. ;)
"Like oil to water" They just don't mix..
TheTechnatron or "fire and water" LOL!
Horse of a different color?
Ashamed to say this is the first video I've watched where I've actually clicked on and read the 'show more' tab. I'm always so enthralled with your presentation that I never bothered. Thanks for being so thorough and thoughtful as to provide your viewers with further valuable information and tips! You guys are the best!

Doing the Lords work here.
I liked the OCD the most I think, across all the amps. The TS in certain applications is unbelievably good. It's easy to see why SRV loved them so much.
I think a Les Paul is difficult to beat in these tests. It just creates that 'sound' that sends a warm pleasant shiver down your back.
One of my favorite sounds is combining the OCD with the Wampler Plexi Drive Deluxe's "Tube Screamer" switch. The OCD is one of my favorites because it combines so well with other gain pedals.
Strat + Tube Screamer + Super Reverb= DAMN!
TS9: Soft Clipping Mid Boost
OCD: Hard Clipping
Blues Driver (not used, but montioned): Transistor Based
RYRA: Hard Clipping Klon Clone
Suhr Riot : Amp Simulator
Nothing for Soft Clipping Transparent like Blues Breaker
13:38 23:01 Priceless reactions.
That Sheriff 44 is doing something very very right!!
I got the OCD last night, my life changed!
Renato Sáenz I have one beef with the OCD. And its minor. The knobs are too easy to turn. Its an easy fix. And again a very minor beef......but it's the only "problem" the pedal has.
@@simonfreer9076 Rubber o-rings underneath the knobs can solve that problem.
For the worst I assume. Hate my ocd. Ruins amp tones
Super Glued No. You do.
The ryra killed it, so dynamic with such a sweet top end, lovely
Jeez, you guys aren't kidding about the "put your headphones on" encouragement. Just watched your video through some brand new and rather nice IEMs and my goodness. Totally changed how I hear the show.
Awesome, thanks Barnyard!
The Riot in the Sheriff completely nailed that elusive Jerry Cantrell tone... sounded biblical!
Zen drive was a revelation... I knew it was good but my God it sounded so so big.
You guys must really hate my bank account!!!
This episode was like one big Sheriff44 advertisement to my ears!!!!Everytime you switched to the Sheriff I was like "whaaaaa????" !!!!
Im on a "small" tube head hunt (Victory Duchess,sheriff, Panama Shaman,Egnater Tweaker to name a few).This last hour was a HUGE kick towards the Sheriff!!!!!!!
What a sweet sounding episode all together!
+Webgkil It really is good. It's 'real' which is what I like about it (Mick). I am a bit biased as I was involved in its development, but yeah, it's a superb amp. The cab is a big deal too - that vertical 2x12 sounds really, really good!
Woould you mind sharing your opinion about the rest of the ones i mentioned? :)
Hey dude does the tweaker hang with your more expensive amps?
Les Paul + Marshall Guy:
12:26 Victory + TS
19:40 Victory + OCD
42:45 Victory + RIOT
🔥✋
i know this is 4 years late... but I love that you used 3 amps that have their own character and and strat vs les paul to really understand these pedals.I favor fender guitars and amps. These videos show me sonically how a humbucker guitar and marshall type amp react differently. Thanks guys!
love this show, but my wife doesnt want me watching becaude ever since i discovered this show my pedal board has gone from 4 pedals to about 13.
+Ryan Hill Please send our regards to your wife Ryan. Sounds like she needs some more shoes... (they're a great placator when you buy pedals). Cheers!
@Ryan Hill I totally hear you!!
sorry u will have to dump your wife...But we have chosen this path
4 pedals lol. Yes I’m 2 years late but just saw this. And nobody told me that when I got married my #gas would be an issue. I thought I had too many at 7. Sold some but then got pedal addiction kicked in really bad. I
must be up to maybe 70-80? And broke. Now selling them. Interesting thing is on reverb nobody wants to pay a decent amount. It’s a good time to be starting off being a gear addict. FYI the way to stop gear addiction is by going broke from buying gear.
yeah it is a serious GAS to be cautious with along with guitars, amps, and synths- right?
I saw Robben at a close up gig in Brooklyn last year... I was travelling from Australia. He was using this very loud clean Germino head. I was able to get a close up look at his pedal board and there was the zen drive.... he sounded fantastic the whole gig... I was impressed at how that pedal managed to get him that dumble tone. Sounded amazing
I keep forgetting to add a like after I watch these! lol. Only show I genuinely look forward to a new episode and I watch every single one. Best show on TH-cam by far. Keep it up guys. I may even buy a T-shirt soon. Seems only fair after all the knowledge you've shared with us. :-)
When I see any video that’s 45, 50, 60 minutes long, I usually pass them up because I don’t want to commit that much time. But I have to say that you guys do a thorough deep-dive like no one else. When this is the type of thing I’m looking for, especially “I wonder what this sounds like compared to that” you two nail it.
Thank you Mark! If you find yourself skipping (I do, all the time!) there are time stamps in the description to help navigate. Cheers!
Coffee? Check... Friday? Check... That Pedal Show? F*cking CHECK!

Beautiful playing on the intro, Dan!
+Patrick O'Donnell cheers Patrick :)
OCD is just so Killer. Finally 2 Guys who actually Know How to use the OCD. Every Y.T. Video has the Treble Cranked ( making it sound thin & brittle ). I have tried numerous high-end Overdrives and the OCD will Never Leave my board. Also you guys are 100% Correct in saying ( what amp are you using ? ). It is odd how - people Never mention that. You guys are my New Favorites. Really Love your Professionally done & Informative Videos. I can talk about Pedals & Effects All Day. - Michael Caz - NYC
+Michael Caz Cheers Michael, that's very kind of you to say. Glad you're enjoying the show!
What a fantastic demonstration of the alchemy of different OD pedals (and combinations thereof), different amps (and combinations thereof), different speakers, different guitars, different pickups and different players!
This is on my short list of favorite and most edifying TPS videos. By all means keep them coming.
You should figure out a way to get a commission on the pedals you guys help sell. It's well earned.
OCD + Sheriff 44 = absolute monsterous!
Daniel and Mick, bless you both! This show is brilliant, as are your physical and emotional reactions to the sounds. Ha! speaks volumes :)
That sound of Les Paul into Tube Screamer into Marshall! After watching this video I simply had to buy a TS and now I know what I had been missing all the time...
+Michal Belda Hooray!
Round 2: Rat, Hot Cake, Morning Glory, Timmy, Em Drive
Matt Snyder Round 3: Plimsoul, Eternity, SD-1, Mudhoney and Carpe Diem.
Matt Snyder the morning glory is absolutely beautiful.
Matt Snyder have the Hot Cake. Cool tone
The OCD through the ac30 was my favorite. Awsome
Yes indeed! I’m playing an OCD into my AC15 for that very Reason! 😍😎👍
it feels so good hearing so much praise for the pedal which is cemented permanently on my pedal board,i adore ocd
This just made me really want a sheriff 44! Sounded killer by itself and with the first 3 pedals
In a time of global crisis , these guys always cheer me up , those sounds are fantastic , hard rock on gents !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome show! I'd love to see an episode similar to this but with fuzz pedals. Fuzzface, hoof, big muff, and anything else you guys have. It'd be cool to see how they clean up into different amps and all the different sounds you can get. Keep it up!
If you do get around to a fuzz show, also make sure you bring in some modulation effects. Octave, vibe, etc. fuzz pedals are very picky on what order or pedals you pair them with, so it would be cool to see what you guys do with them!
Pretty much EVERY time you hit one of your fave od pedals with a touch of delay and maybe some reverb and light vibe, like the Vibronaut and you stop, look at each other, pretty much dead pan , almost confused looks on your faces and then Dan says..... THAT IS AWESOME!! Mick usually agrees.
And I am right there with you yelling (in my head) YES...that DOES sound AWESOME!! WHY??? How does that sound SO good?
I think that I like just about everything that you two like.
One suggestion please, LOUDER vocals. Put a Cali76 on them or something. When I watch on TV late at night (when my beautiful bride is asleep in the other room) I turn the TV up so I can hear you two talk (just a little tough to understand with the accents, which by no means are at all thick or heavy at all....seriously) and then a cranked Les Paul through the Analogman blasts through the house as I dive for the remote. Otherwise, the show is spot on guys. So informative and entertaining.
I moved back to my one horse home town from Los Angeles years ago and I have really NO ONE here to talk about gear with. That Pedal Show helps immensely in that regard.
I have learned SO much from binging on your clips.
I have the buffer clip on hold in the living room as we I type this. (at 1:20am)
BTW, that is the best sounding Les Paul I think I've ever heard. And I'm a Fender guy.
Waiting for another Carpe Diem sale. Just saw that today - SOLD OUT
Keep up the great work gents.
Cheers
+N2F1 Cheers N2. So pleased that we're hitting a chord with you, so to speak. We need to do some work on the vocals. It's a frequency thing, perhaps, because on our meters everything tops out at around -3db, vocals and guitars. Also, because of the room sound maybe there are some reflections that aren't helping with audibility. The best experience is in decent headphones. We've watched on TV sometimes and the guitars sound pretty rubbish through most TVs. Try some headphones if you can. Meantime, we'll see if we can improve the speaking treatment.
Praising the format of this video - one LP and one Strat. Because you know you'll end up owning both.
P90's / Single Coils / Humbuckers......every guitarist should have one of each to nail practically every tone. I'm also a firm believer everyone needs at least one Hollowbody guitar too.
I have both but man it’s a hard gig switching, whichever one you have been practicing in you begin to develop that style and when you switch back it sounds terrible. Guess that’s why all the masters have just one guitar they adore and use almost exclusively
that's a good point, I was thinking more on a song specific basis...and that's why you see many of the greats swap guitars during sets. I think that's why Strats and guitars with coil taps come in handy. Keeping the same familiarity with some variable tones.
@@antonr.2101 I have one of each, along with a Fender, Marshall and Vox amp! Gotta have some variety.
@@joshmuz9018 , right, unless you happen to be Joe B.
That's one of the most useful videos I've ever saw on overdrive pedals. Excelent.
Tube Screamer into the Sheriff 44 = WINNING!!!
This is probably the best channel for demoing stuff before you decide to buy it.
Probably the most useful TPS episode ever! Thanx!
Happy Friday afternoon. An hour of That Pedal Show is going to make this day pass by a lot easier.
Have you guys ever thought about doing a video on smaller versions of the respective amps you regularly use? Like Princetons, AC15's or Marshall 18 Watts? I know loads of boutique companies doing variations of those circuits like divided by 13, 65Amps or Morgan. OD's into those could be cool.
Im hilaroius bout Dan`s intro dynamic playing and upgrading from Joyo Taichi (very good sounding!!)to handstiched finnish Zenclone! ( which I believe very near matches the ori. one!) , ZENDRIVE: one pedal that doesnt come off my chain of command! I salute you Mighty ZEN
The more I hear that OCD, the more I realize I'm going to have to get one. Also, this was a real insight to me on what a Klon-type overdrive will do. Thanks again for the great video.
Big Takeaway / Learning: That Sheriff 44 - takes Pedals Really, Really Well. Sounds Epic.
Hooray! Please post that on the Victory forums. Not sure what they’re all banging on about. :0)
Killer episode guys. I've got this bug for one pickup guitars ever since I started watching your stuff!
Great informative shows all year long. Today´s episode accomplish its goal in showcasing the interaction of the modern OD into 3 different amps. It also help us mortals hear the pedals sounds in context.
IMO it also showed that an Amplifiers´s own distortion + OD pedals can easily sound richer than a Clean Amp+Highgain pedal.
Keep up the love for tone.
If you run the OCD at 18V, you indeed get more headroom. But there's more! The overdrive sounds deeper, more throaty, less fizz and more dynamics. If you can run it at 18V, do it! ;)
absolutely agree...it has more brilliance & clarity...I run an optical compressor after it into a Keeley BD2 set for clean boost and that tone is simply MASSIVE!!
That Sheriff 44 is unbelievable! What a tone! Rich, organic, massive!
I lurrrve my OCD. I run it into a Bassbreaker accompanied by a Superchamp set to Twin Reverb running clean. But it works running into either or both.
CNCTEMATIC wait.. is the phone not ringing? Damn you tinitus , you're a cruel mistress!
That Les Paul into that AC30… chef’s kiss!
LesPaul + Sheriff 44 with the OCD and/or tube screamer
Agree. I've heard that Tube Screamer into OCD works really well. I would liked to have heard that, especially into the 44.
I love the RYRA Klone! Your Klon clone video inspired me to pick one up, and it has since become my foundation tone. It seems to make my drive pedals sound better, and when combined with a compressor, it's absolutely magic! Thanks so much, guys!
Can you guys do a video on Moog pedals? I think it might be an interesting video!
I'd like to see an Analogman ARDX20 with Deluxe Memory Man and Moog M-104 (correct model?) analog delay shootout
Some of those combinations are just magical. Tube screamer and fender, the riot and the victory. Those were my favorites.
"Chalk and Cheese" in the States is "Apples and Oranges", or "Night and Day". I'll be saying Chalk and Cheese from now on...lol. ;)
Me too, I’ve never thought that apples and oranges were all that different
Dan great statement about pedal buyers not plugging into JCM800’s it’s a fact most pedal buyers will never plug into a 100 watt ever. Great video I wished I’d watched this a few years ago
Arrived for the pedal knowledge, stayed to steal some licks
Look forward to every week. Super informative for us who don't have the means for these side by side comparisons. Much, much appreciated. By the by, I ordered the Carpe Diem from Riff City because of you blokes.
+Bruce Johnson That's great to hear Bruce, thanks for watching. And congrats on the Carpe Diem!
What?! No ?!
+unicornmatt x10000. We'll have a few of those for sure!
The Tim/Timmy has to be in the discussion.
Daniel try a Treble Booster into the OCD Its simply amazing. Nails the whole Brian May kinda thing. Sounds GREAT into a cranked Marshall.
45:45 when Mick picked up a Strat, I was like - oh, finally
I love these two guys. I can't stop watching their videos.
Great show; you should do more of these! Some suggeations;
Proco Rat (hardly ever see you use them) & Timmy
I was thinking the Rat as well. It's definitely a classic. There is also a pedal I own that I think more people should be talking about, the ReezaFRATzitz by Emma Electronics. It's a fine distortion pedal and easily ranks up there with the Riot and the like, but you never see it on anyone's pedalboard.
The OCD sounded the best through the Sheriff 44(Marshall). That's what I'm currently running and love it. Very silky smooth gain and sustain with out the fizz.
I am in awe of the Strymon pedals. All top quality, very expensive, very complex, and sound great. I haven't heard one that I wouldn't want to own based on tone, but none that I would own -- based on complexity.
northof50now I'd definitely encourage you to go and try a few. Especially the "small box" ones like the El Capistan or Flint. They're a lot more intuitive than you'd expect.
Yes small box is the way to go. I actually prefer the sound of them too which is weird as I assume the are the same essentially
Lorneplumber as far as I know, there are a few minor differences from small box to big box, but there's enough overlap you can get the same sounds out of both. I prefer the bigguns myself. But I've got an el cap too
They're great, but I have a couple guitars that I got for about the same as a Strymon pedal. Makes it kind of hard to justify getting a Timeline. Dem tones tho...
thats the thing. I have a time line and it is worth every penny. Great pedal
Am I the only one here who admires Mick's right hand picking technique? It's fluid!
Dumble ref's, SRV's Texas Flood album done entirely on Jackson Brown's studio amp "Mother Dumble." Was only supposed to be a demo to shop around.
Great show, always a pleasure watching you guys! And after years this intro makes me reconsider my plans never to buy and play a les paul ever again ;-)
PLZ give Vox settings pleeaaassseeee. I got AC + TS mini and I never sounded like this! ☹️
You two guys are the greatest salesmen for pedals that I've ever seen. I want to buy every pedal you guys demo.
Ah, if only we worked in a guitar store. ;0)
The guitar stores owe YOU guys a debt of gratitude! :-) I bought an OCD because of you guys. Dang, that thing pushes some air. That is one in-your-face pedal.
I'm always so shocked that Dan does NOT fall off his stool when he hits a really good bit!
I think it's about time I went out and bought a Victory. The Sheriff and the Mini TS sounded so good!
Every time again ... the OCD is killer!
I just bought an OCD and watched this video nervous because I was worried I'd hear a pedal I liked more. Glad I made a good purchase.
i've been living the whole experience of your point about every overdrive pedal reacting completely different to different amps and set-ups...been using the TC Electronic Nova System for the past couple of years as my main drive and effects unit- impressive piece of gear, but after many hours of trying to dial in solid, smooth overdrive and distortion tones with this unit, i have concluded that nothing will make it sound good with my particular amp, so i'm having to consider other options...the drives on this unit are just brutally aggressive and harsh when they interact with my Fender Concert, and nothing i do addresses it...it's not about the Nova System- it just doesn't play well with my amp...thanx for all the vids you guys create- well done, entertaining, and you really help people figure out their gear, and how to get the most of them, while showing clear differences between different pedals and how they interact with different amps and set-ups...well done...
Thanks Steve. Grab yourself an OCD, a decent 808 Tube Screamer and a Klon style OD. Nothing that that combination can’t do. Er, except a fuzz. In which case add a Sun Face to the list. Not all at once, but everyone needs goals, right. A D&M Drive could cover a lot of ground from the first three, but we don’t want to sound biased!
56:32 minutes of escape from the real world!
Great start to the weekend! I now feel justified having all of these OD 'flavours' on my board and as an integral part of my band's sound! :D
OCD is SO GOOD!!!
Awestruck
that's why I have two. 1.7 and 2.0.
As usual, an Excellent demonstration. Very helpful & thought provoking !
The collings into the zen drive is insanely unique and good.
Love the show guys, thanks to you I've learnt more about gear and tone in the last year than in the previous 15.
Is it just me or did the tube screamer sound fantastic into the Sheriff 44? Sound like Vox had a duvet over it in another room... The OCD sounds superb!
Dan, Mick, thanks very much for this video. I'm on a second amp journey (for a wet/dry setup). I have a Rivera Sedona Lite 55W split grill for my first tube amp (I play acoustic and and electric and it's amazing for both). It's more of a "traditional Fender" compared to other major amps but it has it's own thing. After hearing several of your videos demoing different amps; both separately and in combinations with others, I'm leaning towards a Vox AC15 (not sure what speakers yet!) and prior to you guys I would not have given that amp a second thought so many, many thanks for what you do. Educating the masses with both your playing and your discussion isn't always easy but I certainly appreciate it (witty banter included contrary to the gentleman Houle's comment below?). The OCD and Riot, for me, sounded like the most versatile of the bunch for both humbuckers and single coils, so again many thanks for that. I also like the new Bogner Burnley distortion pedal as well so I have a decision to make at some point on what to include along with my Strymon Sunset for gain purposes. Thanks again.
A fan of the show here. For a dynamic bluesy overdrive with humbukers or a Strat, what would you say: Mini Tube Screamer, Tumunus, SL Drive for plexi sounds?
I would use it with a Bogner Atma ('Fender' type clean channel). And other times with a Mesa Express 5 50 Plus.
Francisco Tomás Hey man, i play a strat and a les paul and my two overdrives are a ts808 tubescreamer and a J Rockett archer ( similar to the tumnus), I find the tube screamer to compress the guitar dynamics quite a lot (which I love) so for a dynamic overdrive you may want to sway towards the "klon" type pedals such as the tumnus as it really reacts to your picking and colours the guitars tone a lot less :)
Thanks man! Have you tried any of the Bogner pedals?
Cheers.
Francisco Tomás no man I haven't, although I saw a review of them recently and they sound killer!
Get a Fulltone OCD. You will be happy. Did you see Both Guitar Players Reaction ? ( when they used it ). I Love mine and know many others who feel the same. Its a Beast. - Michael Caz - NYC
There wasn't one of the pedal & amp combos that sparked inspiration....they ALL did! :-)
Apples and Oranges is the common phrase...but I much prefer Chalk and Cheese. I'm stealing that lick. Thank you very much!
Love your show. Appreciate your time, energy and enthusiasm!
Leslie simulators vs the real thing? "Wink wink"
yes
Adam Dixon I made a guitar cab out of one....I wish I knew how to mass produce...it was/it's a big hit around here
i love them. use them on absolutely all sorts when recording!
After hearing Greg Koch play through his Ventilator, I don't care if I ever hear a real Leslie again.
Charles Seper Greg Koch is ridiculous!!! So F'ing good!
Tone for days guys. Wowzer! Tooaaan...nice one.
Where's the Miku?
Just got the fulltone queenbee fuzz its fn awesome
Hot cake
I revisited this video to say that I still love my OCD pedal, and according to today's Reverb listings it's apparently worth 4 times what I paid for it since Fulltone announced they're closing. 😆
Awesome as always guys.
I have a couple of suggestions (for purely selfless reasons of course). A general amp in a box episode (you've done a couple of amp specific ones like Dumble and Plexi but I thought some of the more unusual ones like the Supro Drive, Catalinbread RAH/Formula 5F6 or some AMT pedals like the V1 might be interesting and fun).
Suggestion two is, how valve amps that have diode clipping circuitry (such as the Marshall 2525H or the Blackstar HT series) play with pedals and how it affects the advice given in your other videos.
Just a couple of ideas off the top of my head.
You guys should definitely do some videos with the Strymon Riverside when it's released. I'd love to hear your opinions on it.
The Centaur graphic on that Ryra is just a beautiful bit of graphic design. I couldn't stop looking at it.
The real winner here is the sheriff 44.
I know right! Damn that amp sounds killer
You said it...Incredible tone!
Or not.
Although I completely 100% agree that Victory makes some great amps and the Sheriff does do a great Marshall sound, especially with Dan's Les Paul, it was a little bit of an unfair comparison. They deliberately left the other 2 amps very clean so what also had in addition to the different circuit design and tube compliments was gain stacking vs gain into clean headroom. I think one can definitely say the Sheriff takes pedals really well when set to overdrive, no doubt about it. And don't get me wrong I know why they did what they did - like Mick said, it would be a 4 hour video if they fiddled with every single thing (not that there's anything wrong with that - I'd still watch it!) It's why people love Marshalls. Even though they actually give a great clean sound, that overdrive somehow resonates somewhere in your soul and the world stops as that sound washes over you. For me the best sound of the entire video was Mick's strat in directly in the Victory as it was set without anything else. A close second was the Les Paul clean into the AC30. Fabulous show, incredible tones. Thanks again guys.
Collin Kroen I've often found the output/gain settings to be not quite equal in most pedal amp reviews. Regardless I am referencing tone. In this instance the sheriff crushed the other two. Not denigrating the quality of the other amps of course. In this video the victory was treading in tone king waters which I found pleasantly surprising.
Mick, it was funny when you mentioned Dave Kilminster, because when I heard the Zen with the Sheriff, I immediately thought of the Interview you guys had with him while he was touring with Steven Wilson. Killer tone!
