Hey dude! It’s been a long time since my board looked like this (sold a lot of stuff) but I’ve got the steel string by vertex, going to the duelist, with some delay in the stomp and that’s it. The octave sound is a very bright one to begin with, so it’s always gonna be a bit “too bright”, maybe try using it with the neck pickup and see how it sounds? I did a first video of this which I wasn’t a big fan of cause of where I placed it in the chain, so I unlisted it but you can watch it here - th-cam.com/video/bQuxaBaemU8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=679jVgXUeDZLoRA- It depends on your rig, generally it’s a bit weird with the fuzz, (changes the impedance so you don’t get that glassy low volume thing) so I’d try using the argonaught after your fuzz, and then maybe some overdrive like. A tube screamer or something after that? Hopefully that helps! Cheers :)
Holy moly! This randomly popped up on my feed, and your feel and tone are incredible. That vibrato and phrasing is very reminiscent of Marcus King and a little John Mayer with just a HINT of Eric Johnson. This is exactly what I (try to) aim for in my playing too. Amazing!
dayum you've got some great chops and I dug your phrasing and you had cool vans on too that's probably about as much as I've complimented anyone before. nice tones btw 🤘
Mate so glad I've discovered you! Awesome playing, I know the struggle of not being happy with videos, I ended up not making a video for like 6 months - I promise though, they're always better than you think! You're your own worst critic, this content is incredible keep up the work!
I’m only half way through, and clicked subscribe! It’s your playing man, your playing. You dominate that guitar! Wonderful stuff. Now I’ll go listen to the second half 😁
Hey, would you please make a video of the cascading pentatonic licks you do that sound like the ones Eric Gales, Eric Johnson and Bonamassa do? Nice playing. Been seeing this pedal on Josh Smith’s pedalboard.
Thanks man!! Sorry for the late reply! Basically it’s a bit different for everyone, but as my picking hand hits the string I’m aiming for, I try and strike the strings above it as well, and then also mute it with the back of my picking hand as well!
Great tone and playing! How does it work into a distorted amp? I ordered one but dying to know what you thought of it. Sounds great into the pedal so I'm hoping into a Marshall it will do the same thing...
Killer tones and killer playing mate! Sweet board too - I see a lot of overlap with my own board haha. Out of interest do you still have the stock Texas Special pickups in the Strat?
Hey man sorry for the late reply! Thanks so much! Yep stock specials!! They sound great but there’s a low mid thing that sometimes bothers me 😂 thanks for watching!!!
Hey Ryan do you get a weird clicking/ticking noise with the pedal engaged (more noticeable with extra gain like a fuzz)? I’ve returned one and got a second and it’s doing exactly the same, ruled out just about everything signal chain wise. It’s a shame because I LOVE the pedal but definitely couldn’t gig with it like this. :(
Absolutely love your playing! Came here for the Argonaut - stayed for the tone. Smokin dude! Don’t ever stop…
Thanks so much man!! It’s a great pedal! Trust me I won’t!
This is the best Argonaut video out there, real world user tips and great playing.
Awesome tone 💯👌, subscribed 👏
amazed at the tone....blown AWAY by the talent stunning literally hypnotized by this video MORE
what's your signal chain at 5:15? i just one and i put it before and after a germ Fuzzface and it is bright as hell both ways.

Great playing. Really brings out the octaveness

You figured it out alright! Nice to hear some white-hot blues phrasing.

Hey man yea for sure! That video is on my to do list! Ever since I saw it on josh smiths board I knew I had to have one!!
Hey man what’s that silver box with the double stomp and 3 knobs? It sounds killer. Killer playing too man. Real tasty
Hey mate thanks for watching! That’s the EWS Brute Drive! Killer pedal, most notably used by Eric Gales!

Thank you so much!!!!
That rake at 5:09. Holy cow! How do you get it to rip like that?!!
Thanks man!! Sorry for the late reply!

How do you get the Derek Trucks tone?
Have you tried the lovepedal Believe?
I haven’t but I’ve heard good things! Thanks for watching!! :))
Sounds amazing!
Thank you!!

Thanks mate! Will definitely do the same thing! I play it through the mini jubilee regularly and it sounds great!!
@@tastee_licks_thomas outstanding, so excited to get this thing!
Nice playing.
Thank you!

Hey man sorry for the late reply! Thanks so much! Yep stock specials!! They sound great but there’s a low mid thing that sometimes bothers me 😂 thanks for watching!!!
@@tastee_licks_thomas yeah I feel ya, I ended up swapping the Texas specials out of my strat for some Fralin vintage style strat pickups which I love!

Hey man, sorry I only saw this now! Send me a message on Instagram @tastee_licks_thomas and I’ll see if I can help!
sick!
Is it a Green Ringer clone? ...or what is this based on?
Great Playing !!! Argonaut after fuzz and drive ?
Thanks! I have mine before my drives to take out the harsh frequencies the argonaught brings!
Sounds raunchy as hell.....that's a compliment by the way 👍👍👍👍
Thanks man!! Yea so much happier with it this time!!
effing woah dude. You sure your name isn't Ryan Tone-Thomas?
That’s my nickname 😎😎😎😂
