Bea I have always enjoyed your playing but today after the video I learned everything you played note to note from 18:10 to 18:40 and in them 30 seconds I got the coolest feeling and grove I have ever felt playing My Guitar. Your style hands down is the best👊
Building in an "HM-2" setting makes a lot of sense sense there is a huge call for that sound in certain metal genres. It's just nice that it's not all the pedal does. I actually think you can do a lot more with an, HM-2 than what it gets used for.
One of my favorite little bits of English culture is that the thumbs up means "thank you". Like if someone stops to let you cross the street you thumbs up them to say thanks. Here in the US it doesn't have a specific meaning like that, it's just a way of expressing general positivity.
“Chainsaw territory” is the sound of resonance occurring, much like when you turn the resonance knob on a synth filter all the way up. You’re hear it begin to self-oscillate and produce a tone. I think the specific “chainsaw” thing is because it’s such a high resonant frequency, and it’s also being clipped into a waveform with it’s own harmonics that are likely to be dissonant, since the resonance of the device is dependent on the filter circuits cutoff frequency.
Just watched a review of this pedal with bass before coming here. Pretty impressive that it handles bass and guitar so well. Love position 3 with the strat!
Got my Eras yesterday and it is excellent. But as Rabea mentioned it is flubby with high output humbuckers. So I tried a SD-1 in front of it. While it solved the flubbiness it introduces a not so nice mid hump as expected. So I turned the SD-1 off again and added a very steep low cut filter at 50 Hertz to get rid of all the sub bass by simply using the EQ in the OX Box by adding a Butterworth-3 low cut. And all of a sudden it sounds phenomenal, brutal and tight. I guess it has a lot of sub bass for the bass players which needs to be filtered out for guitars. In a perfect world the pedal would have this built in as a switch.
@@grahamkelly8299 Just try it, might work for your guitars and amps anyway. Where it also shines are lead tones in mode 3. It sings and gives you great sustain. The low end problem can be fixed easily with an EQ. I had the Revv G3 pedal and liked it but l prefer the Eras for its rougher distortion. After getting the Revv G20 amp I sold the G3.
A bright higher output humbucker or active pickup sounds like it would work great. It is always a guessing game of amp and pedal interaction to get a tight low end.
The chainsaw sound is one of the components (cannot remember if it's the resistors or diodes) being overloaded with voltage. Lots of pedals have a "bias" knob that can be used to mitigate or enhance this effect
Bias is for the transistor or op amp, FET etc. ( The amplifying component) Where the voltage being sent in is approaching equal to or greater than the 9 volt power supply. Bias changes this ratio.
Now this was demo on this pedal I was really waiting for! Agree with you completely on the using of lower output guitars with this pedal. Sounds much better to me. Would love to know more about your insane gigging experiences!
Debating on getting it. How do you run it because o always thought it would be too mid forward. The ages and warhorn are both somewhat it appears based on mid forward pedals. Klon and tubescreamer
@@kentonschroer2347 To be honest I just play with the knobs to adjust it to whichever guitar and amp I’m using at the moment. I know that doesn’t help, but it’s really easy to dial in a good tone fast.
I use mine by dialing in my perfect always drive sound on the Ages with a bit of clean and using the Warhorn for a Dirty Boost that’s still overdrive bordering on distortion. I plan on getting the Eras and the OBNE Haunt to round out my clean blended Drive section
When the settings are cranked, it almost seems like a fuzz pedal. Maybe using a tube screamer to boost it with a humbucker would give it a bit more definition?
@@johncenteno3238 od3 is a "transparent" pedal and there is a lot of better options, like novels od, wamplers la belle and others, an od3 is just adding more noise and no taming the low end.
Flubbyness is just referring to the low end response or bass not being tight (like a modern metal sound). Hope this helps even if it is a year later. 🤘
Hi Rabea! Hey, it seemed that your gain on the humbucker guitar dry tone was way higher before you used the pedal. And when I encounter flub, I correct by turning down the bass as opposed to turning up the treble. Just my amateur input. Much respect, regardless! - Cheers!
Rabea, what distortion/ preamp is the best in your opinion for the best all around heavey metal tone. I was thinking of the rev purple or the red . or amptweaker tight metal pro or the ceres. Your input would be greatly appreciated as i value your opinion highly.
Hey bea! Loved the video, I'm running a HSS Charvel DK24. Swapped the full shred out for a lower output bucker! More PAF style, do you think this would still be so flabby?? Even with your sig I reaaaaally liked the sound! Like you, I'll be using a crunchy/light gain British voiced amp. Cheers!
Im guessing this pedal is intended to be used with the ages pedal to boost it? I just got both of them and haven't started using them yet and needed some pointers please because they both have the modes and blend and not sure to keep it all the same when going for high gain sounding tones
Shit man, I love the way it sounds. I hate most distortion pedals. Love my Boss Metal Zone H-2. And those are single coil pickups? I want one damnit!! ...I want one!! EDIT: Sounds great on your other guitar with the humbucker pickup. I definitely one one!!
Of course I can't find it now but this digital Vox amp I had in my teen years had a Buzzsaw/Chainsaw distortion preset so I think you're on to something 🤣
55 custom shop strat. There’s a video of when he bought it. Il copy paste. Hopefully. You guys come back to see it. Chunky neck. He then dud a whole swapping out the pick ups. It was a whole series. Maybe 3-4 videos. th-cam.com/video/GBVDb3FuMns/w-d-xo.html
Airis Effects has a pedal called the Parallel Overdrive, which can go from colored boost to distortion and has a blend knob for a clean boost (I use it to turn a crunch into high gain)
That’s why I buy all my gear second hand, if you look hard enough you can find some cracking deals if you’re willing to deal with some scratches to the paintwork and minor scuffs
So if I want to start branching out into some prog metal and metal, and my main guitar is a low output tele and my second is a vintage paf les paul, would you say this pedal or the revv g3/4?
The G3 is such an amazing pedal. It can go from tiiiiiiight to pretty blown out if you put another OD in front of it. It is also a stellar OD on its own.
Hmmm- I really liked their five-state overdrive, and really, really like their five-state fuzz (best fuzz pedal I've ever heard, imho)- but I don't care for this one. The differences between modes were pretty subtle and yet each mode felt like it was on the edge of blowout- accept mode 1. I like LED clipping and this mode didn't feel so washed out. But that's just one out of five- just not the pedal for me.
Dude, it'd be great if you could create a playlist of the videos where you just noodle and play stuff, just music. You're improvisational skills alone are off the chart!. Hell, you should put them tunes together and release it all as an album on Spotify, just like good ol' Ola Englund just did. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
It'd be interesting to hear the difference between high output humbuckers and low output humbuckers in some of these demos. Of course, that'd add another segment and lengthen the video, so I'm not sure if that'd be something you'd want to do.
I’m not Rabea. I’m not sure he can say but I can. The abasi for me a 6 string player. I bought it twice and sold it twice. It may be your thing. I just didn’t like it. It has more gain than the walrus stuff except this pedal rabea’s doing now. Then it’s just what you prefer. Idk man I’d pick a tidally efferent ideal myself. I’m a pedal addict and it’s very bad. You want high gain and tight go with rev. They were not fit me. I don’t like that stiff, tight feel if you want a nice distortion pedal similar to the abasi how about the Wampler Dracarys. There’s tons of pedals. I guess it can be overwhelming. Try where u can return if possible.
Judging by the content that Walrus themselves are pushing, their idea wasn’t to create a tele/strat type of pedal… Most vids are chugging 7 strings and double bass drums…
Interesting hahaha. I mean I definitely didn’t get that impression with this pedal. Plugging a humbucker in, just felt woolly and non defined. For me this is absolutely a single coil high gain pedal. To be fair I feel like most pedal builders have a hard time getting heavy or proper metal and their sub genre tones. From my understanding it’s very difficult to do without getting lots of noise and feedback. But I can’t think of many pedals that produce a high gain tone for metal genres that I would choose to use over an amp. Any suggestions welcome!
Yeah, Walrus really wants folks to view this as a versatile modern metal capable pedal. (Thus the Killswitch Engage and Periphery demos) The truth is that it’s a great distortion but it’s just not well suited for modern metal tones.
![Звукозапись без пафоса [Что нужно для начала]](/img/n.gif)
Nothing against the other review videos, but when Walrus released this pedal, Rebea's review was the one I was waiting for. 🤘🏽
Agree on Rabea. See also Shawn Tubb's ace playing and demo.
@AbeldeBetancourt Sure, man
8:04 That smile after the Black Shuck riff 😁 then right back to business 🤘
Rabea is a musician who reviews gear and a true professional! Great review on this pedal. Thanks for the video. 🔥🎸🔥😎🎸😎🔥🎸🔥

I fully concur
That’s the best looking Strat I’ve seen in a long time.

I actually think you can do a lot more with an, HM-2 than what it gets used for.
i like how bea always gives us a thumbs up at the beginning of ever video

Or not that at all ..
Nice to hear a bit of totemist at 15:30 😁
Just watched a review of this pedal with bass before coming here. Pretty impressive that it handles bass and guitar so well. Love position 3 with the strat!
Walrus artwork is just another level
Thanks Rabea!
This video helped me pull the trigger and i now have my board completed!!
Great vid, as usual. Wonderful to see you again, Bea. You make my lunch breaks more enjoyable.

But there's a active bass control? Does this not help?
@@grahamkelly8299 It helps at very low settings but also removes some of the nice low mids.
@@sebastianhusche298 what a shame, I was gunna get one. It sounds killer!! Have you heard the rev pedals? If you want tight they deliver it!!

Rabea, Fluff, Tosin, and Jason Richardson are my favorites when it comes to dialing tone on TH-cam.
Now this was demo on this pedal I was really waiting for! Agree with you completely on the using of lower output guitars with this pedal. Sounds much better to me. Would love to know more about your insane gigging experiences!
That Fender is Lit Rabeaa. Hopefully will get this pedal next month. Lets see how it goes with some big fat ass EMG humbuckers
Just wanna say sick tee! I have a very similar tee myself, lateralus is my favourite tool record.
Another killer intro!!
They should add a trim pot inside for high output humbucker users. Outside of that, this is a really nice gain pedal.
I own the Ages and Warhorn dual pedal, which I love. Now they have to release this. Damn you Walrus!

I plan on getting the Eras and the OBNE Haunt to round out my clean blended Drive section
The warhorn barely imo has gain so I use it to push my amp’s distortion.
When the settings are cranked, it almost seems like a fuzz pedal. Maybe using a tube screamer to boost it with a humbucker would give it a bit more definition?
Use a OD1 before the Eras and you will get something very unique, use a noise suppressor pedal also :)

Yas! Been waiting for this demo 🤩
Great demo mate.
Thanks! Nice demo!
With humbuckers guitars I prefer staying in modes 1 and 4. But I agree it sounds better on teles, I got mine today
Definitely better on single coils. The blend knob is great for keeping the chords clear.
Can someone explain what he means by flubbyness? I'm still kinda new to guitar stuff and dont know all the terminology
Flubbyness is just referring to the low end response or bass not being tight (like a modern metal sound). Hope this helps even if it is a year later. 🤘
Chainsaw Territory….love it
A Tool t-shirt and playing The Darkness 😊 Would like the pedal for my tele but agree it’s not really built for humbuckers.
Great job on the demo Robea
How long before a signature Bea BK single coil set?
Getting some "Grinding Gears" tones with this pedal and that down-tuned strat! Been listening to the GG stuff on Spotify lately, can't put it down :)
Rebea ftw, Walrus ftw 💛
I was leaning towards getting this but I really want a more versatile distortion.. that said it sounded GOOD with your strat
what happen with humbucker, if you use the blend knob. to get thight and focused sound?
Chainsaw territory lol, I like that, it works!
I need this artwork on a t-shirt bro!
What pickups are in you’re strat now !! I noticed you don’t have any hum on you’re bridge pickup ?
He did a bunch of videos swapping them. Look for them if you want. I lost track as to what he decided.
Hi Rabea! Hey, it seemed that your gain on the humbucker guitar dry tone was way higher before you used the pedal. And when I encounter flub, I correct by turning down the bass as opposed to turning up the treble.
Just my amateur input.
Much respect, regardless! - Cheers!
What do you guys think about an EMG 81 and 85? Would it be bright enough for this to work?
Mode IV works really well for the humbuckers I have
Hey man! Wonderful video! Was just wondering, what pick ups are in this strat? Rock on!
What are your settings for the delay and reverb that lead tone is as always very lively sounding
curious as o whether or not blending in some clean would have mitigated some of the "flubbiness" you experienced with the humbuckers
Rabea, what distortion/ preamp is the best in your opinion for the best all around heavey metal tone. I was thinking of the rev purple or the red . or amptweaker tight metal pro or the ceres. Your input would be greatly appreciated as i value your opinion highly.
Not really related to your video but is there any chance that you will upload your music on TIDAL ?
Please release more of your music on cd! I've got a couple of your albums, but the newer stuff is on cd?
9:52 That’s what she says when we are back home
Wow! Love the pedal. Incredible playing as always! You've probably said it in past videos, but what pups do you have in that strat?!
If they're the same pickups that were in that guitar when he used it in the Ages pedal video, he said then that they're Bareknuckle Mother's Milk
yassss been waiting on Bea's review of this pedal.
Hey bea! Loved the video, I'm running a HSS Charvel DK24. Swapped the full shred out for a lower output bucker! More PAF style, do you think this would still be so flabby?? Even with your sig I reaaaaally liked the sound! Like you, I'll be using a crunchy/light gain British voiced amp. Cheers!
Oh Yesss... YEEEEEES!
What pedal would you recommend for a Schecter guitar or maybe a Jackson
4:35 You know what time it is? It's rocknroll time ACDC style.
Rabea, how can I get in touch with you, so you could make some concerts in Portugal? (I tried on instagram, facebook and linkedin)
15"52 tuning please? Can't find by ear
Should I buy this rn ? Pls respond
sounds pretty damned good
wish you woulda run one of thos synths though it
Great demo with single coil. I think you should have dog more the bass know with humbuckers and maybe the amp eq. Great playing man!!
New sub
Would like to hear it with the audio ages before it
Im guessing this pedal is intended to be used with the ages pedal to boost it? I just got both of them and haven't started using them yet and needed some pointers please because they both have the modes and blend and not sure to keep it all the same when going for high gain sounding tones
You can use any boost you like with it. The blend switch is just a nice feature if you want it.
Shit man, I love the way it sounds. I hate most distortion pedals. Love my Boss Metal Zone H-2. And those are single coil pickups? I want one damnit!! ...I want one!!
EDIT: Sounds great on your other guitar with the humbucker pickup. I definitely one one!!
Why is your sound allways better than any of the other pedal testers? Is it the IR?
Btw you sound great :D
Of course I can't find it now but this digital Vox amp I had in my teen years had a Buzzsaw/Chainsaw distortion preset so I think you're on to something 🤣
I'd be curious to hear what it sounds like into a clean amp.
Did i hear a kings X tone around min 13 ... ?
Is it a custom shop Fender strat? Which are the pickups on there? Looks and sounds killer.
I'm wondering as well, is there any info on that guitar? And great demo/playing Rabea

Very Saicy! :D
Sorr Bea but For me Chainsaw means Wes Borland in Break Stuff
it's a bull with wings that's also red. that's all I'm saying here!
The blend knob - I really wish more pedals for boosting/overdrive included a mix/blend. Anyone know of any out there now?
I'd get a loop pedal/splitter to mix in any pedal!
@@HenritheHorse that's a great idea. Thank you!
@@matthewenglund3502 Sooner or later you"ll damn me, because you have 3 amps and pedalboards for wet/dry/wet rig...

What pick ups does that guitar have
Videos on it that he did. Look for them. There’s 3 or 4.
So if I want to start branching out into some prog metal and metal, and my main guitar is a low output tele and my second is a vintage paf les paul, would you say this pedal or the revv g3/4?
Definitely the revv
The G3 is such an amazing pedal. It can go from tiiiiiiight to pretty blown out if you put another OD in front of it. It is also a stellar OD on its own.
I agree with James, if you're looking for metal sounds the Revv will serve you much better than Walrus.
Thanks for the advice, guys! 🤘 Looking out for a Revv. Might save up for a G20, tbh.

Before switching guitars this pedal sounds a lot like AC/DC to me.

Why does it seem laborious moving dials on a pedal nowadays....oh. Because. We don't have to. 🤣
D standard sounds an AWFUL lot like Eb standard on this video.
So glad someone said something, I thought I was going crazy
