Shawn you are so good demoing pedals that you should also have a courses serie about your style of playing and choices of riffs etc... You have great communication skills !
Your reviews helped me pull the trigger on both the Chime and the Iron. Great videos, really enjoy how in-depth you go, and your playing is killer to boot. I just subbed.
Man, I know this is an older demo but I absolutely LOVE the intro song (listen to it quite a lot of late). WHEN you do another Demolition album you should add this one, it's different, cheeky and is just brilliant! Hope you noticed the WHEN and not if you do another ;0)
God damned brilliant opening jam. I've watched your demos over the years and have become a fan. Great playing, immaculate tone... Great job dude. Keep it up.
You've got to put an album together with that kind of stuff. You're kinda like Pete Thorn (skill, taste, tone) but fusiony and twangy. Put me on your mailing list if you ever get around to compiling and instrumental record.
Just wanted to say: I really like these videos. Ostensibly, the are about the gear, and I learn a lot by the way you use and talk about it. But what I really dig is your technique and some of the out-of-the box thinking your licks demonstrate. I have spent hours trying to wrap my fingers and my head around some of these strange chromatic riffs (like that one at about 48 seconds and the next one at 55 or so). While I can finally play it, I still can't explain why it works so well. Anyway, I really appreciate your work. Thank you.
Thanks very much. I'm not sure really what I'm doing when it comes to the outside stuff. Being pretty much self taught has kind of forced me to not be as concerned with the theory and more focused on whether or not I like how it sounds. Thanks again.
If you haven't already - look into the Super Locrian scale - a lot of these licks are pretty Robben Ford-y, and he both uses and talks about the super locrian thing a lot, there's a few lesssons out there.
Shawn! Just wanted to say thanks again for your excellent demo of the PettyJohn "Chime" pedal! I finally decided to pull the plug on one tonight from PRO GUITAR SHOP as they were running a weekend long 20% discount Memorial day sale on all the pedals that they sell! I'll be sure and get back to you after I've had a chance to get a feel of the pedal with a couple of days playing time on it! :-) Mac
Cannot tell you how happy I am that you're back. I love your guitar playing and your demos. I know that it is more of a challenge these days for musicians to make a living. How can I/we support what you do - so that we can make sure you keep doing it? Keep up the outstanding work.
That Torpedo Live with the Ownhammer IR sounds killer! The drive also is now definitely more attractive for me due to its smaller footprint and built-in boost. Great demo, please do more!
Just had an excellent conversation with Stephen P. on FB. Super nice guy. That and your demo, Shawn, convinced me to order one today. As i told Stephen i am hoping to use this as a front end to my The Dude and Blue Note by Rockett. Currently using an EP Booster. Which is great, but limited. I then follow with an SP comp into a Boss GT-1 for a few preamps and tje topper is my analogue Omnicab sim. Should be set after the Chime for recording.
Wonderful demos of both pedals (Chime and Iron) your playing is so inspirational and tone is amazing. I can't decide which one to buy but I am sure either one will be amazing addition to my arsenal. awe heck maybe both.
Sweet demo! Glad to see you back! I'm dying to see a demo on that two notes live, just a thought.. Fantastic playing as always! P.S I heard the Suhr reactive load is killer..
Thanks for hanging in there with me I really appreciate it! I dig the Two Notes because it's an all in one plug and go thing. It really sounds close to my cab and mic set up!
Seems obsurb to pick out just one of your licks, because all your demos are chock full of tastiness...but I love that short lick @ 9:51! I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing I could my hands on some tabs of your playing. You are stellar Sir! Oh...and the pedal sounds great too! haha
OMG! Where have I been that I haven't listened to you before Shawn! Excellent playing and great insight into the pedals. Appreciate that you use different guitars as well to give a feel for what others might experience. Maybe if you could mess up a little it would be more real for me :)
Man the boost control and the drive control together are magical on the "Chime" pedal! I think I prefer the more open chimey overdriven tones that I'm hearing in the "Chime" pedal versus the "Iron" pedal! I think the "Iron" pedal might be more tweaked for bright amps! :-) What do you think Shawn? Mac
Wow great job Shawn. I bought the PettyDrive Deluxe because of your demo. Does Pettyjohn offer the Chime Mod through their website? Also have you ever considered offering private lessons through Skype or FaceTime for a fee? I'd pay for a few lessons.
You can email me at stephen@pettyjohnelectronics.com and I can upgrade the chime gain pot to match the new chime, however, this does not add the boost feature to the pettydrive. Thanks! Stephen
Hey Connor. Thanks for hanging in there with me! I really like the TV jones stuff. It's kind of "to each his own" with the filtertrons but I would rather get a set of TVs than chance a set of old trons not being right...
+Shawn Tubbs thanks for the reply! Yeah, I bought a vintage set of FT's and put them in my Cabronita. They sound really lifeless and loose compared to your TV Jones.
shawn, not gonna mention your playing this time. a question? are you doing the editing of these videos? as they are a lot better than some photography channels on YT. and that goes for the audio as well. and yes, the higher the voltage, the higher the headroom, = no bad clipping artifacts. i had a custom made mixer at one time, with valley people, burr-brown circuits and Avalon Class A high voltage output drivers (36 volts). what a diff from the ordinary. cheers, mate. j.
Hey man..I'm just using IMovie for edits and a Canon EOS 70D camera. The inset shots are with an iPad. My interface is an Apogee Quartet and I'm using ProTools 10. Thanks for the question.
cheers, very clear, nice color video, and sound. some channels, no matter how good the togs or musos are, are a pain view. and inconsistent. that, however, doesn't subtract from their content. j. keep up the great work. how about a lesson or two on dbl and triple tracking? j.
Hi Shawn! Great demo and grat playing! I see you have the JHS Morning Glory on your board. How do you think the Chime compares to it? All the best, Esben
Currently using Quilter solid state heads and light weight cabs only because of a back issue. Prefer tubes of course, but would this pedal sound good with SS equipment? Fantastic demo by the way! Thanks
Always enjoy your playing and vids! I really did the sound you were getting in the intro song, especially with the Saticoy. Do you happen to know the settings dialed in for that particular part? Thanks
Hey Austin, thanks so much for watching and for the kind words! I wish I could remember how I had the PJ Chime dialed. It sounds like I was using more boost than drive and the tilt was probably at around 10 O'clock.
Great demo and awesome playing. Have you ever thought about making your backing tracks available for purchase. I believe they would be good for practicing along with.
Shawn! Killer demo as always! I have a brand new Blackface style amp based of a Princeton Reverb! It is from amp builder Rick Hayes of Vintage Sound Amps! I'm running 6L6's in it right now (It takes 6V6 or 6L6's)! I have listened to your demo and a few other of the new Pettyjohn Chime and Iron pedals! They both sound fantastic and I'm trying to decide between the two pedals! In your opinion which one of these two pedals would match up with my amp the best or do you think they would both be great choices! I'm looking for something to give me a great low-medium gain overdrive! I also heard the new Pettyjohn "Lift" boost pedal and I really like the possibility of going with the "Lift" and either the "Chime" or "Iron" pedal! My Vintage 20 1x12 combo has a lot of clean headroom on tap as Rick Hayes the builder uses a higher output transformer to give it more clean headroom than a standard Princeton Reverb! :-) Mac Baker
Hey Mac! The LIFT in front of either (or both) Iron and Chime is how I designed the who group of them to sound best! The IRON is close to a pushed Fender style amp with a bit smoother top and thicker low mids and the chime is sweeter and has a decent amount of gain especially with the Boost and the LIFT in front! Kinda depends on what your going for! I use all 3 every week! :) Cheers! Stephen
Stephen I was actually thinking how good the "LIFT" would sound pushing the IRON and CHIME! Thanks for your comments and replying to my post! I think I could really cover some tonal ground with the "LIFT,IRON and CHIME" running through my Vintage Sound Amps "Vintage 20" combo! This would be ground breaking for me to actually end up with 3 pedals from the same builder! :-) Mac
Stephen if you were going to get just one of the 3 pedals which one would you start out with? I know that is kind of a loaded question but I will have to buy one at a time most likely! :-) Mac
how would you compare this to the version of the chime found in the petty drive v1? Im trying to decide if I want the petty drive v1 or v2 and cant find any does of the v2. All I know is some changes where made to both "channels" Wanna know if the 170$ pice difference is worth it.
Shawn may be able to chime in on the differences he picked up. The core circuit is the same with increase gain. The power section and the grounding layout have been improved for greater headroom and lower noise so I personally play my V2 now over my V1 as I think it performs better. Wouldn't have put it out if it didn't feel better under my fingers and built better too! The PettyDrive V2 is the IRON and CHIME circuits in one box, so they sound the same as these single demos, just with the option of stacking them too. Plus you save $60 over buying them separately! ;) Stephen
Hmmm he makes some cool stuff altho you make just about everything sound good But would be curious what you have on your pedal board as of late Will check your channel Best wishes for 21
On My Pettyjohn There seems to be no difference between low cut 'postion one' and low cut 'postion three' is this the same on yours or is mine not functioning correctly? Many Thanks
Hello Jon, Sorry to hear that. If you are on the middle clipping mode there wont be much change in the tone between those two, if you are on the up or down clipping position it should be a bit more noticeable. In general the pedal is designed to have the home base for each clipping setting the same position on the low cut setting. Hope that helps. If your pedal seems defective email me at stephen@pettyjohnelectronics.com and Ill make sure you get taken care of! Thanks! Stephen
What did you use to power the pedal in this video? I have mine hooked up to my voodoo lab pedal power plus 2 so its got 9V going in but when you flip the clip switch two of the other channels are wayyyyy quieter than one
Hey Tyler hmmmmmmmm.....That would be a question for Stephen at Pettyjohn. I'll bet you a dollar he'll see this and get you an answer. I used a simple Visual Sound 1 spot. Do keep in mind that different types of clipping can be a bit softer or louder in volume but not drastic...
I think I responded to a PM just a moment ago on this but for anyone else who is reading this: yes, there is a large difference between the outputs of the different clipping modes. This is by design and there is plenty of output on tap to make up for the volume. The thing is the LED clipper in the middle is designed for maximum headroom before clipping so it can be used as a clean boost or mostly clean preamp. The other two modes have germanium hard clipping involved for maximum harmonic drive at the expense of a lot of volume. Basically those germaniums take all that extra volume you hear in the LED mode and turn it into harmonics! :) A key with this pedal (and the iron too) is to us the low cut and clipping in tandom! They are designed so that each low cut setting attempts to compensate for extra low end taken from each parallel clipping mode. Hope that helps a little! ~Stephen
The Morning Glory is really open sounding but maybe not a versatile as the Chime. I use the MG as more of a dedicated low gain OD and the Chime more as an "always on" pedal.
Shawn Tubbs Thanks for your answer, Shawn! I have had the Morning Glory and really liked it and am now considering buying the Pettydrive, so I just wanted to hear if I could get kind of the same openness from the Chime. Thank you again and have a great day 😊
@@ShawnTubbs I bought one recently on Reverb, same finish and configuration. Mine has the Zane "Z hole". Really appreciate the thought that went into designing the guitar. Super lightweight, and doesn't kill my back on longer gigs. Sounds amazing!
shawn, i do not want to compromise anything here, so i will not ask. would you be interested in playing on a project of mine? i know u r a gun for hire..........plz give me a private contact. by now, i bet you've check me out on YT. cheers. j.
Sorry to have wasted your time on this one. There is a spot in the demo song that shows how the Chime sounds with single coils in context with a track.
![HIWWHEE | OHM [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/OJJLtTLqLag/mqdefault.jpg)
Best drive pedal I've heard in a long time
Yeah I think Pettyjohn has something going on with this one too!
I am stealing these licks! That was an awesome intro.
I know this demo came out a long time ago but have to say you are the most thorough when it comes to spec's and usage
Very good, clean drive that doesn't get muddy. Nice clarity from this particular pedal.
Agreed
Sean, I have no intention to buy the pedals you demo but your playing style is so great that I just watch'em as a piece of great music.
Thanks so much!
Shawn you are so good demoing pedals that you should also have a courses serie about your style of playing and choices of riffs etc... You have great communication skills !
DEEEEEWD! The intro song absolutely needs to be on the next Demolition type album!!!! LOVE IT!
Your reviews helped me pull the trigger on both the Chime and the Iron. Great videos, really enjoy how in-depth you go, and your playing is killer to boot. I just subbed.
That's awesome man. Thanks for reaching out with the kind words.
Man, that intro piece gets me every time. I keep coming back to this video through the years.
I have never seen a Demo from Shawn that wasn't stunning .. :)
love the diminished runs !
Man, I know this is an older demo but I absolutely LOVE the intro song (listen to it quite a lot of late). WHEN you do another Demolition album you should add this one, it's different, cheeky and is just brilliant! Hope you noticed the WHEN and not if you do another ;0)
Yep. You Must put this on a future jam album! Super cool!
God damned brilliant opening jam. I've watched your demos over the years and have become a fan. Great playing, immaculate tone... Great job dude. Keep it up.
Thanks so much!! I appreciate it.

You're very kind. The best support ever is to continue to watch the my videos and subscribe!
That Torpedo Live with the Ownhammer IR sounds killer! The drive also is now definitely more attractive for me due to its smaller footprint and built-in boost. Great demo, please do more!
Yeah the Torpedo sounds so close to my set up. I dig it because I don't ever have to wonder if a mic got bumped or if a ribbon died.... Thanks Chris!
The best demo on the net for this pedal
Thanks very much for watching and for the compliment!
Just had an excellent conversation with Stephen P. on FB.
Super nice guy. That and your demo, Shawn, convinced me to order one today.
As i told Stephen i am hoping to use this as a front end to my The Dude and Blue Note by Rockett.
Currently using an EP Booster. Which is great, but limited.
I then follow with an SP comp into a Boss GT-1 for a few preamps and tje topper is my analogue Omnicab sim.
Should be set after the Chime for recording.
i just returned all my Xotic stuff. Would you recommend the Lift for clean boost before the Chime?
Those licks were absolutely sick!
Thanks very much!
Awesome Shawn and totally dig your playing!
Thanks Bob I appreciate it!
Wonderful demos of both pedals (Chime and Iron) your playing is so inspirational and tone is amazing. I can't decide which one to buy but I am sure either one will be amazing addition to my arsenal. awe heck maybe both.
Thanks so much man! Those guys build really good stuff!
This melted my face. Awesome!
Thank you Bill!
Great demos, cheers Shawn.
Sweet demo! Glad to see you back! I'm dying to see a demo on that two notes live, just a thought.. Fantastic playing as always!
P.S I heard the Suhr reactive load is killer..
Thanks for hanging in there with me I really appreciate it! I dig the Two Notes because it's an all in one plug and go thing. It really sounds close to my cab and mic set up!
Great demo Shawn, and an amazing sounding pedal. I think I actually like this one more than my Iron..
Omg this pedal and your playing skill its perfectly match!
tight and clean playing.. unique licks too!!
Thanks Adam!
Seems obsurb to pick out just one of your licks, because all your demos are chock full of tastiness...but I love that short lick @ 9:51! I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing I could my hands on some tabs of your playing. You are stellar Sir! Oh...and the pedal sounds great too! haha
You're very kind Glen!
You are a tone warrior. Awesome sounding
Pedal sounds incredible and you're a great player!
Incredible Shawn!
Thank you Dan!
Pleasure nice to see your back, hope you had an awesome tour! That Collings!!!!
Thanks Dan!! Yeah the first leg went quite well. I'm digging the Collings too!
Awesome playing and technique
Fantástico!!!!! Wonderful Job!!!!
Thank you Marco I appreciate it!
I’m not 100% sure what a “woody” sound is, but to me The Pettyjohn Chime together with that Zane guitar sound very woody and very super nice!
Ouch.. You're doin' too much!!! 🤣
Stellar and slick playing dude.. I know this pedal doesn't hurt, but you really hit it man!
These darn lil boxes and your demos!! I'll never be able to save any money....but I'll have good tone!!😬
Amazing Sound and Playing! Congratulation from Italy! What model are the pickups by throbank?
OMG! Where have I been that I haven't listened to you before Shawn! Excellent playing and great insight into the pedals. Appreciate that you use different guitars as well to give a feel for what others might experience. Maybe if you could mess up a little it would be more real for me :)
Ha!! Thanks man. I mess up enough! Trust me.
Just noticed the truss rod cover. Nice touch!
;) Yeah the PRS guys did that. It was very nice of them.
Man the boost control and the drive control together are magical on the "Chime" pedal! I think I prefer the more open chimey overdriven tones that I'm hearing in the "Chime" pedal versus the "Iron" pedal! I think the "Iron" pedal might be more tweaked for bright amps! :-) What do you think Shawn?

The Chime is more open sounding to me but has less gain than the Iron. They're both really great pedals.

Good grief, crazy versatile and musical. I need to research this pedal and company.......
They do great stuff!
Love the intro tune… thanks
I wonder if you’ll still put this pedal on your board now that your signature pedal also has the tilt EQ..?
Thanks
I still have both of my Chime pedals, the V1 and V2 and really like them but my Tilt covers quite a bit of ground for sure.
Great demo, but as this pedal is utilizing clipping diodes, does it get along with 2 or 3 OD pedals in tandem?
Great demo Shawn, love your channel! Sorry if I missed it in the vid -- were you running this at 9v?
Thanks Tom! I was running 9v.
Glad to have you back man! Missed your demos real bad. How do you like the TV jones compared to stock stock filtertrons?
Hey Connor. Thanks for hanging in there with me! I really like the TV jones stuff. It's kind of "to each his own" with the filtertrons but I would rather get a set of TVs than chance a set of old trons not being right...
+Shawn Tubbs thanks for the reply! Yeah, I bought a vintage set of FT's and put them in my Cabronita. They sound really lifeless and loose compared to your TV Jones.
Yeah buying the true vintage pickups can be hit and miss. The TV jones stuff is pretty spot on.
shawn, not gonna mention your playing this time. a question? are you doing the editing of these videos? as they are a lot better than some photography channels on YT. and that goes for the audio as well.
and yes, the higher the voltage, the higher the headroom, = no bad clipping artifacts. i had a custom made mixer at one time, with valley people, burr-brown circuits and Avalon Class A high voltage output drivers (36 volts). what a diff from the ordinary. cheers, mate. j.
Hey man..I'm just using IMovie for edits and a Canon EOS 70D camera. The inset shots are with an iPad. My interface is an Apogee Quartet and I'm using ProTools 10. Thanks for the question.
cheers, very clear, nice color video, and sound. some channels, no matter how good the togs or musos are, are a pain view. and inconsistent. that, however, doesn't subtract from their content. j. keep up the great work. how about a lesson or two on dbl and triple tracking? j.
At 18V these run +/- 18V for 36V of swing! Yes, it makes a difference!
thx mr pettyjohn. i'm 67yrs old, been in this so called industry since 13yrs old. seen it all. j.
They build great stuff!
Hi Shawn! Great demo and grat playing! I see you have the JHS Morning Glory on your board. How do you think the Chime compares to it? All the best, Esben
Currently using Quilter solid state heads and light weight cabs only because of a back issue. Prefer tubes of course, but would this pedal sound good with SS equipment?
Fantastic demo by the way! Thanks
Always enjoy your playing and vids! I really did the sound you were getting in the intro song, especially with the Saticoy. Do you happen to know the settings dialed in for that particular part? Thanks
Hey Austin, thanks so much for watching and for the kind words! I wish I could remember how I had the PJ Chime dialed. It sounds like I was using more boost than drive and the tilt was probably at around 10 O'clock.
Great demo and awesome playing. Have you ever thought about making your backing tracks available for purchase. I believe they would be good for practicing along with.
Thanks Robert! I never really thought about it..Hmmmm.....
Great sound!!It sound like jcm800
you where awesome during stp unplugged dude
Thanks man! Long time ago.
great playing Shawn. did you use the torpedo as a cab or a real cabinet?
Thanks man. That was the Torpedo Live. OwnHammer 412 MAR-CB V30-EN SS Live Vintage. Basically a Royer/57 on a 4x12 with Celestion V30s.
Shawn, Awesome video like Always, how you compare against the Tumnus Deluxe ?
Great demo!! Would you say there is a lot of overlap between this pedal and the J Rockett Dude?
Thanks man! No I honestly think they are two completely different pedals in how they dial, feel and sound. Both killer!
Shawn! Killer demo as always! I have a brand new Blackface style amp based of a Princeton Reverb! It is from amp builder Rick Hayes of Vintage Sound Amps! I'm running 6L6's in it right now (It takes 6V6 or 6L6's)! I have listened to your demo and a few other of the new Pettyjohn Chime and Iron pedals! They both sound fantastic and I'm trying to decide between the two pedals! In your opinion which one of these two pedals would match up with my amp the best or do you think they would both be great choices! I'm looking for something to give me a great low-medium gain overdrive! I also heard the new Pettyjohn "Lift" boost pedal and I really like the possibility of going with the "Lift" and either the "Chime" or "Iron" pedal! My Vintage 20 1x12 combo has a lot of clean headroom on tap as Rick Hayes the builder uses a higher output transformer to give it more clean headroom than a standard Princeton Reverb! :-)
Mac Baker
Hey Mac! The LIFT in front of either (or both) Iron and Chime is how I designed the who group of them to sound best! The IRON is close to a pushed Fender style amp with a bit smoother top and thicker low mids and the chime is sweeter and has a decent amount of gain especially with the Boost and the LIFT in front! Kinda depends on what your going for! I use all 3 every week! :) Cheers!
Stephen
Stephen I was actually thinking how good the "LIFT" would sound pushing the IRON and CHIME! Thanks for your comments and replying to my post! I think I could really cover some tonal ground with the "LIFT,IRON and CHIME" running through my Vintage Sound Amps "Vintage 20" combo! This would be ground breaking for me to actually end up with 3 pedals from the same builder! :-)

That sounds like it would sound crazy good to me! :)
Stephen if you were going to get just one of the 3 pedals which one would you start out with? I know that is kind of a loaded question but I will have to buy one at a time most likely! :-)
Mac
Maybe the Chime? Keep in mind they do really killer dual pedals that would get you the best of both worlds!
Those diminished lines though!!!!
how would you compare this to the version of the chime found in the petty drive v1? Im trying to decide if I want the petty drive v1 or v2 and cant find any does of the v2. All I know is some changes where made to both "channels" Wanna know if the 170$ pice difference is worth it.

Hmmm he makes some cool stuff altho you make just about everything sound good But would be curious what you have on your pedal board as of late Will check your channel Best wishes for 21
Thanks for watching! The Pettyjohn chime went straight to my pedalboard and it hasn't ever been taken off.
So sick! Tones 4 dayz
Thanks man!!
Great demo any plans to do a demo of the Pettyjohn Lift or if you've tried one what's your thoughts on it.
I have yet to play that pedal. But I've been trying to get a demo scheduled in for them!
On My Pettyjohn There seems to be no difference between low cut 'postion one' and low cut 'postion three' is this the same on yours or is mine not functioning correctly? Many Thanks
There should be a difference but it is subtle. I would reach out to Pettyjohn to be sure.
Hello Jon, Sorry to hear that. If you are on the middle clipping mode there wont be much change in the tone between those two, if you are on the up or down clipping position it should be a bit more noticeable. In general the pedal is designed to have the home base for each clipping setting the same position on the low cut setting. Hope that helps. If your pedal seems defective email me at stephen@pettyjohnelectronics.com and Ill make sure you get taken care of! Thanks! Stephen
awesum playing ..!!
great Demo
hope you are getting paid decent
Did you get it for free? Was the video sponsored?
What did you use to power the pedal in this video? I have mine hooked up to my voodoo lab pedal power plus 2 so its got 9V going in but when you flip the clip switch two of the other channels are wayyyyy quieter than one
Hey Tyler hmmmmmmmm.....That would be a question for Stephen at Pettyjohn. I'll bet you a dollar he'll see this and get you an answer. I used a simple Visual Sound 1 spot. Do keep in mind that different types of clipping can be a bit softer or louder in volume but not drastic...
Yeah the LED clipping seems to be the loudest while the germanium is the quietest or softer of the two i guess, would that make sense?
Yes it would. You would certainly have to reach for the level control and gun it a bit in the other two clipping modes.
I think I responded to a PM just a moment ago on this but for anyone else who is reading this: yes, there is a large difference between the outputs of the different clipping modes. This is by design and there is plenty of output on tap to make up for the volume.

They are designed so that each low cut setting attempts to compensate for extra low end taken from each parallel clipping mode. Hope that helps a little! ~Stephen
And that's why Stephen is the MAN!!!!
I can see you have both Chime and Morning Glory. How do they compare?
The Morning Glory is really open sounding but maybe not a versatile as the Chime. I use the MG as more of a dedicated low gain OD and the Chime more as an "always on" pedal.
Shawn Tubbs Thanks for your answer, Shawn! I have had the Morning Glory and really liked it and am now considering buying the Pettydrive, so I just wanted to hear if I could get kind of the same openness from the Chime. Thank you again and have a great day 😊
Can this get a clean break up, kinda like a morning glory low gain also?
Absolutely!
Do you have Petty Chime vs Morningglory vs other pedals like Rockett drive videos?
I haven't really done any "pedal verses" vids. I may start doing those in the future.
I look forward to it!
Would you say you prefer this in 9 or 18V?
Honestly it sounds great at 9 volts. 18 sounds a bit more open.
Come on, I could see your Morning Glory is on... :D
Haha, so was the Ghost Drive and every other pedal in the loop switcher on the board. ;)
Do you still have your JDavis / Zane guitar? Interested in selling?
I do still have that guitar and it's one of my secret weapons. I'm gonna keep it around. :)
@@ShawnTubbs I bought one recently on Reverb, same finish and configuration. Mine has the Zane "Z hole". Really appreciate the thought that went into designing the guitar. Super lightweight, and doesn't kill my back on longer gigs. Sounds amazing!
@@norrismantooth3 Awesome! Glad you found one.
And at a very nice price too. ROFL 320.00AUD cough

Your playing is ridiculous in this video
Thanks man!!
Thanks for using only Humbuckers - I hate humbuckers. Waste of time
Sorry to have wasted your time on this one. There is a spot in the demo song that shows how the Chime sounds with single coils in context with a track.
Berta Griese Boo hoo. Most reviewers always use strats and teles, even Jazzmasters instead of anything with humbuckers.
