Good morrow fine people! If you want to skip the jibber-jabber, the initial pedal comparisons begin at 14:30.
If you're in for the long haul, however…
Brace yourselves, because in this episode Daniel and Mick dive fearlessly into the murky waters of Dumble legend. And it’s a long one, so grab a beverage and make yourself comfortable.
Played by many of the world’s most respected, toneful and tasteful players, a Dumble Overdrive Special amplifier is as rare as it is magical. What do they sound like? Frankly, who the hell knows because only a select few have ever been granted exclusive passage to the real heart of Dumbledom. So we’re borrowing a Fuchs Overdrive Supreme and standing on the metaphorical drawbridge.
Nevertheless, if you listen to records of your Dumble-playing heroes or you’ve seen them live, you’ll know those amps have given voice to some of the best guitar sounds - yes - ever. Can a pedal possibly capture that magic? Well, perhaps some of it, hence our petite videoette this very day.
The pedals we’re listening to are:
Mad Professor Simble
Amplified Nation Big Bloom
J Rockett The Dude
Wampler Euphoria
Tanabe Dumkudo
Custom Tones Ethos Overdrive
Van Weelden Royal Overdrive
And just for good fun, a Boss BD-2 Blues Driver linked up with a Boss GE-7 Graphic EQ
After we’ve had a quick listen to the Fuchs Overdrive Supreme, we play all the pedals through a Victory V40 head and 2x12 cabinet with Celestion G12H-65 Creambacks. And talk a lot.
Guitars are: Fender American Vintage ’62 Stratocaster. Fender Custom Shop ’63 Telecaster, Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard, Collings SoCo, 1961 Gibson Les Paul Junior (SG).
As ever, all pedal switching and amp routing is handled effortlessly by TheGigRig G2.
Big thanks to Andertons Music for the Royal Overdrive; Jason Sidwell of Guitar Techniques for the Dumkudo and Ethos and Simon at Rocky Road for the Simble. Also to Sir Mitchell Of Keenshire for the Fuchs. Somebody leant us the Big Bloom too - credit when we know who it was!

Any1 else here rewatches their video like half a year or year or more after watching it first time and see how much more he understands as his knowledge expanded on the topic in the meantime?
Dago 64 of Course from time to time I rewatch everything 😂
Yep. And I keep thinking - no Jetter GS124? There's always been a lack of Jetter on TPS. As a fan of Brad's work, this upsets me :(
Hahaha... . I'm watching this video for like the 6th time.
Yep.
2nd run thru for me and now I have my first 'Dumble' pedal--the Vertex Ultraphonix--and it so far just kills it, esp with my R8.
this show had ruined all other pedal demos/reviews shows for me. the production values are top notch, but the level of knowledge and insight into pedals is truly amazing.
I just wish we got multiple episodes a week cause this series is amazing.
+telekmetyk have you ever seen any "Knobs" demos/reviews? You would do best to watch some before making such a claim. Knobs blows these guys out of the water in terms of actual demos. Dan and Mick provide the face that knobs expressly omits, though. Two sides of the same coin, really.
Never seen knobs but the Anderson's blindfold challenges are pretty damned entertaining.
What N. Marshall is really saying... is.. if you're a hipster who likes post-rock & other neat granular guitar noise, listen to 'Knobs' reviews. They're good for sure, but rather specific on the note & mood curve of toneful playing. Also, you don't hafta be a hipster. I dunno. Jam on, peeps.
I meant Anderton's
I love your show so much. After over a decade of touring and trying to just plug in and play night after night, I've really enjoyed hearing your expertise and theory on both common and uncommon effects. Please keep it up!
I don't even play guitar anymore and bearly could when I did but I love watching your show. playing is great and it's like you guys are just recording what you do all the time. your not trying to sell anything and your just putting the information out there for everyone. some of the best tones I've ever heard have been on this show. thank you guys for doing what you do. and p.s. that tele is a monster lol.
The fact that Dan and Mick avoid (and make fun of) the wine tasting terms is what makes this show so great. Go to other pedal channels on TH-cam and you'll hear all sorts of nonsense like "liquid", "spongy", "milky" and whatnot. This is the finest channel on TH-cam for guitarists.
To be fair, “drippy” reverb actually makes sense. Probably the only one of those type of terms that makes much sense.
@@smelltheglove2038 Oh, hello comment I made 6 years ago! 🤣
@@rafsbio it was a timeless comment, still relevant today.
I am so happy I found this channel. It's a goldmine!! I hope you continue to make videos!
I am a huge fan of all of your episodes, this was one of my favorites. The EQ before the Blues Driver was a great way to show how this works, thanks!
They're achieving the ineffable tone I'm always shooting for. It's a violinish tone that Bonamassa, EJ, Robben and Jimi would get. It's like creaking wood in an echo chamber -- does that make sense? It has a distinctly violin-type woody sound.
The Dude & Dumkudo just poured it on with the massive headroom--well most of them did, including the Wampler. Flipping beautiful. I don't have the ears of these two, but what a fantastic channel. Learning so much.
Great shirt Mick. This is one of my favorite TH-cam channels. Keep up the good work!
+Nick Toma --- Second that. Great -inside joke- shirt, for us loyal viewers.
Getting home from the pub and finding out there is an hour of That Pedal Show! Love the show guys!
Guys this is one of my absolute favourites from you guys. It's one of or is your longest video and I keep watching it again and again. I wish I lived somewhere that I could a,b,c,d,e,f,g pedals like you guys but thankfully you guys can walk me through it. I've got a Les Paul and an Eastwood Joey Leoney RBC (Gibson 335 body with fender scale length and P-90s that coil tap to singles). The sounds from all the guitars you've tried on this video are all amazing. Thank you!
thank you.... Dan and Mick, Your knowledge, passion and enthusiasm is world class... ☺️🎸👍🎶
Thanks for the Ethos/BD/EQ comparison!! it really helps to have a mate with good ears to tweak while you play..well done.
Thank you for addressing my obsession with Dumble. I love all the comparisons and A/B you did as well. Been looking at the dude and I liked what I herd.
I love how you guys trading licks at the beginning. Quality stuff!
Comprehensive and informative. Gives me a chance to hear pedals I will never be able to afford. :)
I love that Simble Pedal ( always have ). The Dude also impressed me. J Rockett make some great stuff. Their Blue Note OD is the Most Versatile Low Gain Overdrive I have ever heard. Another fantastic video. Dan & Mick you guys are awesome.
You guys are great, just love your show! :)
What a great demo and discussion. Really so much more informative than anything out there. Thanks so much! So much meat on the bone here. I have watched it three times and still am digging it. Now to make up my mind on which pedal to buy...
As a dude with tinnitus problems, it hurts to see these guys playing with an amp 5 feet from their head. I'm sure people will make fun of this comment, but I'm a mid 20's guy that spent all of high school in a small room 20+ hours a week with a wide open blackface champ or tweed deluxe. Trust me 100+ db's by your head adds up over time.
Love you guys content. Not a criticism, I'd just like to see etymotic or similar earplugs standard for dudes playing big amps. Rock at your own risk. Peace.
As a dude who is going to make fun of you, Daniel don't be that guy. Nobody likes the, "hey mannnnn... are you sure that's safe?" critic when these dudes obviously know the risks and do this for a living. you probably don't do music for a living. Let's let them decide what's best for them, yea?
I agree its not a good thing to be setting an example for young kids who think that excess is just the cool thing and end up deaf and with cirrhosis of the liver . But its what we do to challenge our mortallity
True bother's me a lot but different people have different tolerance they may already have T but dont notice it and obsess over it unlike other people, luckily i had false tinnitus due to earwax it disappeared tho now i protect my ears more than ever using musical high grade earplugs/sometimes Custom In ear monitors made me a better musician and and i can hear better in the mix on live
Depending on the setting or band I use custom Ear plugs. I have a raging case of Tinnitus from 42 years of playing. Most of the time I can mitigate the volume levels in rehearsals. I generally don't wear them during gigs either but when it gets loud at rehearsal; I recommend them. I do wear them to loud concerts though. While the constant ringing doesn't bother me, it sure makes hearing people talk a difficult chore to hear. Not everyone is effected so use your best judgement.
How much for the custom Ear plugs? also that's nice to hear that it doesn't bother you does the ringing get's worse over the years or it stayed the same ?
I missed this episode back in the day. It's great!
I love how happy you guys always are :)
i love how much fun you guys have doing these videos :)
so many great tones today and i thought all them sounded pretty damn good. love the shirt Mick!
Great video. I finally realized why i couldn't find the right overdrive for me, didn't understand what i was looking for until i saw this video. The most a guitar sound approaches the sound of human voice (in mid freq terms) the more i like.
To me, this show seems to prove that if you're a good player, the boss pedal will do just fine.
Yeah, true. But what if you don't like the sound of that pedal? I'm a decent enough player to have made a living doing it for twenty years, but the BD-2 has too much gain (and bass, pushed through before clipping) to sound good with the gain control anywhere past about 10 o'clock. If I have to use an EQ in tandem with a pedal for it to sound good, I'll use something else.
@@augustusbetucius2931 Exactly, most guitarists are not trying to sit in a mix. Or even on stage trying to get everything to sound right. They're on the couch in their living rooms. They will never know how bad something really sounds unless they hear it cranked fking loud and through a PA. This OD stuff may be cork sniffing, but at real volumes it matters a lot.
nobody is stopping at "just fine" ,
hence a gazillion other pedals on the market
I own quite a few of these pedals (Ethos, Dude, etc.) and a few you didn't feature today. Not to mention amps that do that "Dumble thing". I really liked this overview it was probably the best I've seen - well done.
Absolutely loved the Steely Dan reference! Top job as usual.
I neeeeed a vibe/leslie video from you guys!! that would make my day!
you explain everything so clearly but still make it plenty interesting for gear heads like me. So i'll wait until the day that video comes out.
Guys you make killer video's and i just want to thank you for that! Cheers!
great video on a great topic! my personal favorites are the Wampler Euphoria, formerly known as the Wampler Ecstasy and the Van Weelden Royal Overdrive. Van Weelden is a master tube amp builder from the Netherlands. He has created and still builds his own take on the Dumble ODS, called the Twinkleland. He build one for me in 2008, which has an amazing sound and has never let me down once. If you ever get the opportunity to try this amp, I can highly recommend it!
thanks again for the great vid!
Love these tones. Perhaps the most gorgeous sounding pedal shootout to date - IMO
I love and hate that I have found your show. For someone who went to sound school and has been playing guitars for 20 years, I've already learned double the tone and pedal knowledge in the past week or two of watching all your back log of shows than i did before. The hate part is that it is sparking a gear seek and purchase mode for me haha. Thank you again. Aside from the wonderful knowledge and production, I love that you generally cover all the basic marshall, fender, vox core tone starting points and are starting these videos with a great recorded tone before getting into pedals. It gives such a better context than a lot of pedal videos.
So glad you're enjoying them Danny. All the best :)
+Daniel TheGigRig Thanks and all the best to you as well. Because of the videos I am going on the King Of Tone wait list after the holidays and once I finish building a new guitar the next couple of months, planning on ordering a quartermaster 8 and a humdinger from you to square away my pedalboard. :) happy holidays!
Daniel TheGigRig so you guys really didn't like the euphoria huh? It got about 30 seconds of play time lol before you made a nasty face and stopped mentioning it
youre not alone. mick and daniel give me gas, too.
I truly enjoyed this video... the sounds were amazing! Real tone discussion going on here. Thanks guys! I'm going to subscribe to the channel right now.
This is by far the most fun, entertaining, educational e gear-nerdish channel on TH-cam! Thanks for the effort that you guys put on every single episode!
+Rafael Cimino our pleasure. Make sure you check out the new channel :)
Great to see some pedals demo's from two players with such a wonderful sweet touch on the guitar.. Bravo guys!
Also "intelligent dialog and positive info which is "rare nowadays" I must say.. I am subscribing
Weşş done , sending warmest respect and support from Turkey..
Regards
Awesome John
Great video as always guys. Fast becoming my favourite TH-cam channel
Another awesome video, that Royal Overdrive sounds lovely and I like the comparison with the Boss BD + GE7, nice touch
Excited to watch this and see how the v40 sounds with these pedals as I'm waiting on one arriving. Big fan of the show, guys.
I have the Euphoria, which I really love! As a gigging musician I do like having the different types of compression (smooth/open/crunch). Depending upon the room you are playing in, you often need to adjust your sound and Wampler pedals are great for that.
All of these pedals sound good:)
Really fantastic sounds out of pretty much all of those pedals. The Ethos really jumped out at me. That was about as close to a Dumble Overdrive Special as I have ever heard, and the Van Weedon Royal OD was a very close second.
Well done guys. Im a Zen Drive guy but I bought after hearing Robben play it through his old BF Super 10 years ago.. Things have come a long way since and you guys have proved it. Great Job. In America we say Fue....ks.
Very nice tones out of ALL pedals. Well done guys! I love all parts of your series. I would like to see a comparison of preamp type pedals.
I've never really been interested in the Dumble sound too much. I always liked Fender clean pedal platforms and Mesa/Boogie gain tones. BUT, these pedals sound great! I am totally going to get one of these to run into my Deluxe Reverb. Thanks guys for another informative, inspiring, eye opening video!!
"You can't just fly around the world with a dumble."
I live and die by that phrase, I've always said that.
Lol same
Great life hack.
Just buy an extra airline seat for it… like BB with Lucille!
@@NegativeBodhiImage that's so romantic. ❣️
your guitar tones are absolutely fantastic.
another hour well spent, thanks very much
Love going back and watching the old vids... and, like the best of bandmates, you're still enjoying each other's company.
Still super fun 🤩
@@TheGigRigDaniel I just modded a Cuvave Fuzz 'for fun'... cost me £15 delivered on ebay last week (£7.50 with my Nectar points), and £2 for a 500k mini pot (plus an hour of 'fun' micro soldering) to bring the velcro. It is tremendous (and my go-to fuzz has been a Shin-Ei Companion 8tr since 1985); definitely going on my board and possibly the finest money I've ever spent on a pedal.
p.s. Tried the Behringer Bi-Phase yet? I managed to get one (from Vietnam) before they pulled it following Mutron's suit. Want to borrow/review it (should you not have one)?
p.p.s. How great is Mr Timmons?! Fab episode.
The way the notes feedback with the Royal Overdrive is impressive!.. and to my ears it's the most inspiring of all the pedals on show.
Just bought a Van Weelden RO to run through my V40. This video helped me pick. Cheers guys!
$719US for a pedal is actually more than I paid used for my Ceriatone OTS50..and that was with a C-later! I know what I'd rather have.
Very long show, but I watched the whole thing. Really appreciated the way you delved into the range of all the pedals. I own several of those and concur that the Ethos is more complex than I care to deal with. The Royal is way too big for my testes, and as I've actually played several Dumbles, didn't feel like it really got the tone. The Dude is why I came here for the comparisons, and I wasn't disappointed. The Dumkudo was very cool, but can't find those. Would have liked to see a Jetter GS124 in there, since it's actually patterned after a real Dumble. Still a great shoot out! Thanks!
you guys rock... have a great Christmas xx
After watching Mick playing the Dumble in the Guitarist video, I think the Fuchs with the LP, the Ethos with the tele, and the Simble with the tele (after Mick dials in that last setting while Daniel plays) all nail it. Surprisingly, those Simble+tele tones were my favorite i think.
YESSSS This is what I wanted to see!
Thanks guys. Some beautiful pedals. Most of all, the EQ + Blues Driver option has me curious enough to try it.
HOW DARE YOU...not have done this before. Good job guys. It's nice to hear someone come away from a bunch do pedals and say they're all good, choose any
Once again guys, excellent show. I need to quit my job so I can watch all your shows! :-)
1st enjoyed this 4 years ago and just enjoyed it again. At 21.32 Mick nails my favorite of the handful of iconic Dumble tones, the Robben Ford/Larry Carlton tone that has an upper midrange overtone some call the Dumble "Chirp." A definitive example is Robben Ford's studio version of "Up the line."
I have a Dumkudo/Zenkudo twin. BTW it does the Zendrive thing perfectly, and then some (We A/B'd those extensively). The Dumkudo has a three position switch for clipping options which have drastic impact on the sound. They didn't experiment with that... Good enough for Larry Carlton. When I got my D/Z I sold both my Tube Sereamer Analogman mod, and my Blues Driver Analogman mod, as the D/Z could do both and then some. It will go from perfectly clean to massive OD. Just saying...
Holy ballz, that P90 LP Junior is some exquisite tone
Here is a fun way I got around to a pretty good dumble impersonation:
Chain: CS fender strat - Xotic Ep-booster (internal dips: bright, no 3db boost) - BK Butler Tube driver (w. bias control & yugo tube) - Standard Boss GE7 - Fender super reverb (71 unmodded silverface, Jansen speakers, late-breakup tubes allowing for added headroom and non-crunch compression).
So the deal is this
- The EP-booster is set to a minimal boost. The bright setting provides a defined high end glassiness that comes alive without much breakup at finger touch. At a light touch it's almost clean. The bright setting provides a certain stiffness however that will matter next.
- The BK butler provides creamy crunch and lots of low end. When the "stiff glassiness" meets this it becomes possible to have mostly just that at light touch but bottom end and crunch to overdrive will activate as soon as you dig in, creating dynamics in both volume, degree of breakup and in terms of how much low end "thud" is delivered. It feels almost slightly scooped but it is really not. So already you got the dynamics and a mix of brightness, creaminess and pleasantly snarly overdrive.
- The GE7 allows a slight post boost that tightens the low end, solidifies the high end - and you can add extra girth and creaminess to the bottom end. Really this step is both about cleaning up and focusing the output of the prior pedals and matching volume and EQ to the response of the speakers so that the low end thud does not become flabby and in order for the high end cut to compress and even out instead of delivering sudden unwanted icepicky spikes.
I got a pretty good dynamic Robben Ford like tone out of it, which I am sure would have been even better with a Tele or 335. Really it seems to me the key part is matching that defined glassy fendery top end with a more marshally but discrete low end growl that leaps out by degrees when you poke at it. It feels almost like two sounds in one, but with a different type of response - the high end being the more stable and generally present singy part (which of course you can then modify with your guitar volume and tone knobs, while still retaining the overall character and behaviour of the tone). And the low end being the dirty dynamic and unruly part.
The response, and subdued snarl, is reminiscent of the Xotic AC-booster, but the separation between the layers of the sound (glass and growl) is more pronounced in this setup and the overall tone tighter and more focused and compressed in certain places, whereas the AC has a generally softer and almost "delayed" feel to it that is arguably not as "present" for a Fordlike sound.
Mind you I was aiming for the amp sound and response as I have heard it on videos, not a robben ford tone per se. Granted it's a lot of dollars and pedalage for a single tone, but who are we if not troublesome meddlers?
Yar!
But where is yorr video me hearty?
This is the most GAS inspiring show in the world. I even bought chorus pedal and now you show me ethos overdrive...
For a minute I was worried that there was going to be no episode today.........all now well with the world!
Often overlooked, the humble, and now out of production Barber Smallfry gives you great Dumble tones
Simble as simple. Love it.
for me the best bit about fumbles has always been their cleans, not their drives. interesting none the less
Huge thank you's to the two of you! I ended up buying a Royal Overdrive from Anderton's last Friday. It arrived three days later, here in Vermont USA. I was able to quickly dial it in, thanks to the other video that Mick did with Danish Pete. I am using it with a Mesa Boogie Lone Star Special that has the Reeder mod. I have Channel 1 set to 30 watts and Channel 2 set to 15 watts. Mick, your idea of using the Royal as a foundational tone was spot on. I can shift quite naturally from Ch1 clean, adding the RO, adding the mid boost, Ch2, and so on... It all sounds rooted in the same DNA if you know what I mean. Oddly I ended up using B3 for the best touch sensitivity and clarity, which surprised me as the manual seems to recommend A1. I am playing a Gibson ES-345. Again, thanks a million for all your hard work and sterling advice. Kudos to Anderton's for lightning shipping and a painless transaction.
+Andre J de Saint Phalle man you are a very lucky guy!
Love your videos. Greetings from Spain.
another amazing video. love your show!
+Daniel Roberts cheers D :)
Any video that talks about "love on the bottom end" gets an automatic +1 from me. The fact that it includes guitar pedals is just a bonus.
+morphine0000 haha
My two cents. Have owned Fuchs ods, Carol Ann... and many of the D style pedals. The Ethos is very much my favorite. The thing missing in this review is a deeper dive into two characteristics that I feel are essential, touch sensitivity and bloom. The ethos has these to a great degree.
No Barber Small Fry Burn Unit pedal? Its one of the best and first Dumble pedals. Modeled by Robben Ford's Dumble amp in person by Barber. Great review, liked the eq and BD part as well.
I came for the dumbles, I left with a wine joke... "Cause I keep falling over..."
On the clean channel with the gain at around 1:00, my Blackstar HT1 sounds like a hot buttered biscuit. No pedals necessary. Finally achieved an articulate overdriven tone that is extremely touch sensitive.
Great shoutout. There are indeed a number of fine dumble sounding pedals out there and perhaps someone's favourite was not on trial here but I think the Zendrive is a must and sort of a benchmark to evaluate other pedals which are perhaps superior. I also found that the ''Dumble thing'' was acheived just as much by the mid signature than by the way you played at times. Many of us associate that tone with Robben Ford type playing...
I have The Dude and I love it. Proper fat blues rock tone, sounds killer.
Very well done. I'm surprised you covered it so well.
"The Dude" pedal from J Rockett is crazy good! Love mine! Good job guys. Thanks
Just curious... First time J Rocketteer here - Should I grab the Archer or The Dude? Looking for that classic steel string sound, but with its own coloring for a 2nd stage drive. Still loving The Dude?
Stratodan 27 I own The Dude! It’s better than all those others!
Love my Dude, my dude. Careful with the V1 though, it's got the most dangerous level control I've ever seen.
That or ultra phonix?
@@aleji0 why ?
My three favorite were the Royal Overdrive, Ethos , The Dude, These three seemed to have nice over all body to the sound over the rest.
I love the Overdrive episodes but, when or will you do a show on noise suppressors/noise gates? I know I need one but, I would love a good guide on how to chose the right one that isn't going to change my tone or lob off the highs. Love the show! Keep up the great work!
This is so random, but I remember Mick from a documentary on the AC30. That was pretty cool man, I enjoyed that.
Yes! Best vídeo ever!
Great test thanks guys.
Mick and Dan, loved this one on dumbly pedals, what about the old fuzz and Wah impedance discussion in front of others with buffer the true bypass debate ... Thanks for the show and Merry Christmas...
Humbuckers and D-style pedals sounds awesome! Now I need an SG!
Wow that vultures sound was nailed on!!!
It was quite impressive to see Dan eq'ing that bd-2. In the end, I think, he got as close as humanly possible .... funny enough - at the end I liked the eq plus bd-2 better than the ethos. But then, I love the BD-2 per se.
Bd-2 sounded too fizzy
@@Bairov BD2 not fizzy, it's your amp
I have voiced all my amps to sound incredible with the BD2
Not raspy or brittle just mid forward goodness
great video ... wouldve loved to have heard the hermida zendrive in the shootout ... but yeah, the ethos is really a killer tone platform ... nice playing too!
I only just realised the that T-shirt! haha! funny! and that episode was good too.
I agree with Mick. The Royal Overdrive is less complicated than the Ethos in terms of knobs and settings. But man both the Ethos and Royal Overdrive are insane. Damn!
Insane expensive.! 650$ on Reverb..but the Dumkudo at half the price or less on Reverb kinda kills with it's 3 modes. Tosh makes them one at a time..
So glad I ordered the big bloom!
Cool as always! When recovered from christmas, you really must do a Univibe stuff video! It can be hilarious due to the lushy sound of it combined with you two!
The equalizer is the most misunderstood, underrated guitar effect on the planet.
I highly recommend waiting lists for pedals, and gear in general. I was on the CT Ethos waiting list for a bit. Wasn't very long, maybe 8-10 weeks. However, just as with the list for the KoT, the time it takes to wait for your turn allows time for better sense to prevail. I have never purchased a pedal after time on a waiting list. We all spend way too much on stuff we really don't need anyhow. Our wives are all in agreement on that.
I needed this...thank you !!! I've been stuck in OD hell. One of these may do the trick. I've been tracking the Simble...it, to me sounded killer !!! Thanks, again & keep up this stellar show !!! - Tonefully, yours.
Love my Simble! 😁
Great great video. Hearing dumbles remind me of a weird power tube. An in between el84 and Kt88 vibe. If anyone is interested in a cheap pedal that pushes into the the skanky quick to feedback dumbleish, the Caline crazy cacti is awesome value.
I'm learning English with you guys, so interesting.
Nice new specs Daniel (says the inner Dispensing Optician in me) :-)
You have the eq bypass on at least with the blues driver comparison, with the ethos. That removes the tone stack. The eq bypass makes the drive less smooth and tons of mids. I have the ethos and the amp version, have owned the Fuchs ods, zen drive.... And have stuck with ethos amp version. Thanks for all the great reviews!
One of the best dumble style pedal, if not the best, is the Cornerstone Gladio (double preamp). Much better than the pedals in this video. Yes, it was expensive but it's a must have pedal. Probably the Gladio will be in the heaven of legendary pedals like the TS, Klon, BB...
I have the Simble which is an amazing sounding pedal but sounds better into certain amps. And when I heard the Royal Overdrive a week ago at Andertons YT channel done by Mick and Pete I finally found what I´ve been looking for. The royal overdrive will arrive the day before christmas (if UPS can deliver as promised). Great video as usual.
my established favorites: Simble > Royal Blue > Boss OD-3/Blues Driver > DOD Looking Glass😎
So hows the royal od?
