You rock, Ryan! Love this channel! 👍🎸
The Dumbler only sounds Dumblish because it has boosted mids and is somewhat of a transparent drive. I have the Rowin version and it’s pretty good - if you put a compressor (not a lot compression either) before it you’ll get more of that Dumblish tone. It’s a great drive pedal by itself.
thanks for making these videos!
26:10 you know we love that noise music and sounds, it just makes my day ♡♡♡♡
Just got the Dumbler pedal yesterday. Very cool tones.. Well worth the money. Love the afford a board idea, as compared to the guys that do a pedal board that is now into the thousands of dollars.
that flanger sound is incredible
That boost with everything dimed sounds like a real amp!
Can you provide an updated list of your afforda-board pedals, please?
I'd love to see a list of the afforda-board pedals that are rated (YES, DEPENDS ON YOUR TASTE & SPEND UP INSTEAD)
Just got the flanger. Beautiful for the subtle flange effects I prefer.
Dunno if it sounds "dumbly" but the dumbler sounds really damn good to me
i have one of this dumbler pedals, they are pretty similar, few differences tho, i have a rowin, it has more gain, however it's more noisier, but the of the sound of the circuit it's pratically the same.
I bought the Flanger based on your review. Never had one before and like yourself its awesome fun pedal.
It's almost like the Electro-Harmonix Flanger. It has that micro-switch so you can have the effect sit in one mode instead of "sweeping".
dat impro looping though
sweeet
Dumbler sounds great with that guitar and amp.
I think the bias knob on the boost pedal is actually a mislabeled bass control. The amazon page calls it a bass control, so it seems like they made a typo while labeling it.
I agree
Nice review. Glad to see the reviewer liked the Dumbler. I have no idea what a Dumbler amp sounds like but the iSet Dumbler pedal is a favorite of mine. I’ve A/B’d it against the Caline Pure Sky and while the Dumbler sounds a tiny bit darker and compressed than the Pure Sky the trade off is the Caline has a more noticeable rasp sound as the notes decay. Once you hear it you’ll always hear it. So it’s a tossup. But, if I had to choose one I’d take the Dumbler.
first impressions are that these black boxes (with starwars font), shells, and main knobs all look identical to Rowin pedals.
4 knob dumbler : check
4 knob booster : check
you be the judge. rowinmusic.com/en/col.jsp?id=130
not saying it like its a bad thing, my Rowin Plexion + Delay are pretty decent.
I think ive seen a couple of other pedals with the same box as well.
@@gamecat666 They're almost definitely the same. There's only 3 or 4 actual Chinese brands and the rest are just rebrands. I think either Ammoon or Joyo is supposed to be the parent brand for the Rowin/Donner rebrands. The flanger is strange though. They usually only change the graphics on the pedal, never color of the pedal too.
@@ViviSectia jep,there all based in shenzhen china.
@@ViviSectia I think I agree. For example, take that looper. Now look up the Lekato looper and the Hot Box looper. Don't they look exactly alike?
Good afternoon sir thank you you're an inspiration I'm looking for the iset demo of the purple swirl in the Grimm heavy metal distortion
I’m really impressed with the way that HB stays in tune.
I bought the cheapest HB st-20 hss ( 79 euros/£71) , it keeps its tune as well as my Gretsch 5230T and it was 6 times the price that the HB was :D
I did change the standard strings for Ernie Ball 'slinkys' though :D
The Looper/Tuner is genius.
Can you play more sustain single note lead stuff past the 12th fret on your demos? Thanks!
I’ve got the dumbler, flanger, booster and chorus. They’re all good.
Dig the sounds around 26:00. Fun....and later some Mancini !!!!!!!
Yeah, that flanger is a standout for me, too I’m not a flanger guy either. No idea they had a tuner/looper, very neat.
I bet adding a bit of that dirty booster with the chorus would get a really close sound to the Come As You Are intro you were playing...
Here's a question, not sure if anybody asked this but how do you like these compared to the amazon basics, or do these seem to be of more reliable/better quality overall for the same money as the amazonbasics label ones? Thanks for your insight keep it coming sir!
So are the just rebranded donner/rowin pedals? Some of the labeling is different so it’s hard to tell.
Hi. What are the pedals in your current main affordaboard?
I have that flanger and while the effect is great, there is a noticeable volume drop when I engage it.
I just got mine about 2 weeks ago. There's no drop in volume on mine, in fact there is a slight boost in volume. You should have returned it for another. Sounds like yours is faulty.
Very awesome, no fuzz though, I'm disappointed - not in you but the company not having or sending you a fuzz
Thank god, I almost learned some peddle science from jhs then this popped up. 🙏 Ready for cronchy cronch.
that was a close one
Hey Ryan, greetings from Spain! I have a super unknown sleeper octafuzz that blow my mind for less than 20$, is the Pigtone (seriously) pp-29. I have nothing to do with the company but I think it's worthing a test.
The "normal" mode, with the neck pickup, it's the best Octavia pedal for poor people like me.
I only find it on AliExpress, not Amazon, but it's a real winner.
By the way, thanks for your videos!
That Pigtone Fuzz is awesome.
I think it’s the same as the musiclily if I recall correctly.
Does iset use the same circuit as Rowin and Stax in the Dumbler?
I like all the "Champagne" pedals as well. But I'm totally knocked out by the Flanger. Of course w cheapo pedals they have a run then... . Any recent brand of the week Flanger that sounds ball park the same ?
There must be a factory in China somewhere that makes the boxes for these small effects pedals. They are all the same, regardless of manufacture! The insides vary, but having just started collecting pedals for an up-coming project I am really quite surprised at the affordability and uniformity of design I'm seeing in these pedals. It's a golden era for effects pedals IMHO. I'm going to end my line of pedals with an amp sim. Currently thinking about the Solid Studio, which seems to do it all.
Many of the pedals are the exact same pedals, only branded under different names.
@@noahholt7489 Yeah, it's that as well as the thing I said. All kinds of combinations and re-hashes of circuits, with varying degrees of success.
the boost should have made it on, i could see it pairing well with the cuvave fuzz and giving it more shapability with the bias
I think it's a misprint and a copy of the Mooer boost.. It should say Bass not Bias
@@the_nondrive_side Yup. it is BASS. The BIAS is a misprint.
I'm biased as I love Flangers but that Flanger is ace.
I’m curious about what that booster is supposed to be. Germanium OD maybe? Whatever it is, it has some cranked tweed vibes!
Blair Hogan i think it might be based on an xotic booster pedal, Rc or ac?
60 Cycle Hum Interesting. I have 3 Donner Boost Killers (an RC clone) and this definitely has more of that kind of saggy, ripped speaker thing you were talking about. Sounds cool though. One of those interesting flavours of overdrive that despite liking, seems like I’d possibly have a hard time making work in my rig in everyday situations. I’ve been having a blast trying so many cheap OD pedals lately (plenty of them thanks your channel). I used to pretty well get my pedal fix through verbs and delays..good sounding drive pedals were for the boutique guys in my head at least. It’s nuts how many great sounding cheap ones are out there now.
Ryan, I know you didn’t have one in this batch, but the flanger reminded me...I’m looking for an affordaboard phaser. Any recommendations? I don’t remember seeing one on any of the videos.
Iam not ryan,but try the behringer vintage phaser.
I have that flanger, it is labeled Kooger.
I find it wise, when chaining many affordable pedals together, to have a Boss pedal somewhere in there, to boost the signal. Otherwise it gets to be a pretty muddy tone.
Any buffered pedal will do, just gotta put them after the wah and fuzz. I'm a fan of the Polytune 3's buffered bypass feature. It's a really really good buffer.
I have the flanger. I actually like it a lot because it can be resonant and weird at times.
The flanger is the best out of them all. I have it as well. Great little pedal.
When you do these videos are you going into the front of the amp or are these in an effects loop? Thanks.
Into the front
Where can I get one of those guitars sir the $200 guitar
Oscar schmit has a good les Paul style guitar I used to own one really regret selling it I think you might like it
Ryan's face when the flangee went into UFO territory 🤣
Link to that Les Paul please lol
Hi, loving your vids :)
I would like to see your views on the Positive Grid Spark Amp :D
Just looked back through your reviews and I dont see it :)
I maybe wrong with my old middle age eyes :D
Had one, sold it. Talking about internet hypes ...
@@ssm445 hey each to their own likes...i really enjoy mine :D
Don't do it, man (the single cut carved top dragon chasing, that is). You'll end up like me needing more and more Gibson just to feel like normal.
These seem like the Rowin/Donner standard OEM mini pedals, would love something different from the mini pedal industry...
I wish there was a budget pedal range that leaned into crazy noise makers. The OEM nature of many of these dooms them into fairly vanilla territory
60 Cycle Hum yeah 100%, where’s the budget fuzz factory or some wacky reverb envelope filter mini pedal for a budget? It’s a shame really but it is what it is
@@danieljdtaylor Twinote fuzz pi at $25 is a great pedal
that booster could almost be a coloursound powerboost
That boost is a credible drive pedal on it's own. I think the Dumbler wins over the Sonicake, but it's a close fight. In the end, I prefer the higher end the Dumbler provides.
The boost seems too muddy to me.
I just ordered an Iset Flanger on Aliexpress now . sell 20 us. becuase this channal. thank.
dumbler reminds ne the tone of the who-won't get fool again
that boost is a bargain
There is something that has eluded me for decades, and that's an affordable green label electric mistress low rate sound. The edge of chorus sound used by Alex Lifeson and Andy Summers. I wonder if this flanger does it? It certainly does the jet thing, but I'm not so interested in that
From what I've read, you want the Mooer ElecLady.
@@davidrohr6316 ordered one a few weeks ago. It does the deluxe pretty well, not quite as bright and (dare I say?) glassy as I need it
The Mooer, Donner (that I have), Rowin etc are all the same -- Mistress-style flanger/filter matrix, hence the switch to turn off the LFO. After watching TPS talk about using flanger for chorus-like sounds I recently got a four-knob flanger: rate, depth, return and manual, the latter being the all important control that varies the delay time around which the LFO modulates, allowing variation from flanger short delay to longer, more chorus delay times.
The pedal I got is an Eno BF-03, now in bright pink and green! The chorus is phenomenal, almost like the dimension of the TC Electronic 3rd Dimension. There don't seem to be many four-knob (MXR style?) micro pedals around now unfortunately, much less variety available.
@@QuirqUK Dan and I are on the same quest. Eventually I'll lay out the 4 bills for the real deal
@@equalsequalsofficial Love Lifeson's sound !!! He's always been my favourite guitarist of all time. Huge Rush freak here, lol.
18:28.........THE SPACESHIP LANDS!!!
Was the Boost supposed to say Bass not Bias?
Yep. It's a misprint.
Hey Ryan, my band the Fantastic Flying Frogs (a surf/beach boy style band in NC) is recording some songs for our next album, we were wondering if you'd like to make a guest appearance on a song and play some guitar on a track?
At 26:00 Tangerine Dream territory ^^

36:07 OMG
:Like Stax, Outlaw, and several others, these are rebranded Rowin pedals
Make the commitment to move up to a full fat USA made Les Paul you’ll never regret it. Tone for days. Just spend the time to find a good one.
Lmao at the dumble comments
Flanger 16:35
It smells of Nu-X. Boxes look the same as well.
Iset / rowin / stax / blah blah blah. Same.
Every day I'm dumblin' dumblin'
I had a Ditto looper. It died after a year.
Was it the crappy footswitch that went?
@@ShoreyJr It stopped recording.
send your noise gate to the end of the line
I have the dumber.......always on last drive p3dal.....just seems to take the edge off all previous drives in chain
That chorus sounded very Smithy, swear that I thought you're going to start playing Big Mouth strikes again
HaHa doubt he knows who they even are!
Eric Filsinger bruh the smiths was a 80’s Brit pop rock, everybody knows them idiot
@@nickm6001 Oh yeah everyone born before 1990 maybe, and its WERE a 80s Brit pop band, which I got to see twice in CA, Idiot
Maybe you could be a geek and install some of them in your guitar
Noise gate last in the chain, or in the effects loop
You don’t want it to gate the reverb/delay, if there is one. You’re gonna want that gradual fade without the gate clipping it.
@@yunamadsimackomen881 Gate is always last....but you are right about delay and verb.
Dumbler sounds better.
I'm getting tired of this.
It's time that I just made gain and waveshaping modules that just plug into your chassis and then you can learn about pedals while having a shoebox full of pedals that you can reassemble at any point and you can buy the 15 buck modules as you go so it's kind of a kid's dream until they can afford an actual $99 guitar processor. An expression pedal that can have different modules slammed into it? Like a module to make it a Wah, volume, power wah, rotovibe, etc.
Synergy already commercialized my amp brain idea but granted it wasn't much of a leap after I realized that a lot of amps actually boot now.
Pls don't chase the dragon.
Too many pedals that are all the same color when you got him down the floor you're not gonna be able to tell which one you're pressing
My TH-cam content looks like I FORGOT to flush
Noise gate never goes first. After drives and before modulation is usually where they go. Your noise gating your guitar signal, how noisy is that ever?? Come on Ryan!!
No fuzz, what the hey! I feel robbed.
When it comes to delays.... if I just want a generic delay, I’ll use my amp’s on-board effects. If I’m gonna spend money on a delay, I want something just completely weird lol
Opinion on the Breonna Taylor situation @60cyclehum???
Being a musician doesn't automatically come with a degree in political science lol
They might touch on it on the podcast, idk
No politics here, we come here to forget about the shit outside don't bring it here.
America is a psyop, question everything.
@@sebjulien3 breonna taylor didn't get the chance to escape it.
is it ETHICAL to buy pedals that are this cheap? we know Amazon has disreputable labor practices even amongst its American workers. how exploited do you think the workers (in Asia, i assume) have to be to turn a profit on a $20 pedal?!?! what are the conditions on the supply side?
