Dude is a consummate rock guitarist. Not a metal guy, not a pop guy, not any other genre, a straight ahead rock guitarist, and one of the best out there.
Love Phil had the pleasure of being in his circle early through Pat and Rob.. religiously attended his Jam nights at his dads and his other events, an amazing dude, such a great person, moved to England and lost touch. Always wish him the best. Anyone that meets him understand
The Duellist is my favorite pedal! Definitely get one if you can. The left side, which is a Bluesbreaker style circuit, makes an incredible boost for high gain amps. Most people use a Tubescreamer to boost high gain sounds, but to me that makes the amp sound thin and nasal. The Bluesbreaker makes it sound thick and fat while giving it a lot more saturation.
I bought the Duellist 2 or 3 years ago, I could throw all the others in the bin after that purchase, its got it all so do go for it if you can wait a bit.
Shut up and let phil speak. You ask great questions but you keep interupting. Lol cheers bro. Oh and btw...the flintstones are funny as..ffkkk. I knew phil since his club days in Toronto. He rocks
Watched him since the days of Fretted Americana. Such a joy to watch and hear him play everytime. So proud to see him make great strides in the music world.
Phil's comment about boosting levels for a pick slide... that is exactly why my boost of choice is a TC Spark Mini. You can click the footswitch like normal and play an entire solo... or... if you need a quick fill, HOLD the button down, play the lick, and when you release the button, the boost switches back off. Dual function button! I also replaced the little knob up top with a massive black knob that I can dial up and down with my foot.
Yeah the spark mini is my solo boost pedal too. I have mine in the loop so it just increases the volume when I need without adding any more compression or gain to the front end.
I just love both of these guys. They are serious musicians but they dont take themselves TOO seriously. Funny, down to earth, and relatable to people who are not in the spotlight. Just seem to be great guys!
We literally did Phil’s Two notes cab pack just a day before this and soooo wanted to ‘leak’ it for Gearfest - but we didn’t… Phil is exactly the same guy off the camera. He’s amazing - he’s Phil X!
Those prdals are cool, but Phil can plug into the mic input of my parents old 70's furniture type 8-track floor stereo system and sound incredible! Where is the DOD BAD MONKEY??? Awesome pedal!
2:41 Dude, I’ve been wondering for decades why the boost settings from the sound-check never seem to be enough during the concert. It’s because the ohers play dynamic too! Never really thought about that. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤘🥳👍
Can somebody please explain to me why bass and drums always play louder when the guitar solo starts? I've been doing classic rock covers for 20 years and it never fails. Drums and bass want to stomp all over my solo every time! I tell them you guys can do whatever you want take a 20 minute solo I'll leave the stage for you whatever you want but STOP WALKING ON MY SOLO!
My pedal board has a volume, filter and distortion knob and that's it. it's the only pedal and really, has no need for a board. I've never needed anything else.
Phil Is epic! This video was awesome. Listening to Phil talk about and execute very complex licks and talk about them like they're just these simple things was sweet. He is so humble. What a guy Phil X

@@mdmusic2130 sorry... it's a strymon DiG
@@philx1111 Got it!Thanks a lot!🎸🙌🏻

Amazing musician. I love old fashioned rock guitarists like Phil so much
He's pretty good at bouzouki too.
Totaly agree
Phil gets even better with age. A true guitar hero.
I’d been saying this for years. Watching the progression of his career develop is one of those things that warmed my heart.
@@JodyParsons Indeed! He's always on top of his game!

Great interview with a top guitarist
13:42 one of the most R&R thing I've heard in a while !!!!! Phil is a Master !
Phil X has to be one of the most coolest and down to earth people around. The Duellist has struck me as a great pedal to have. 🤔

I’ve owned one since Davey first released them and sold most of my other OD’s. It’s been a mainstay on my pedalboard. Try one out! It’s a rockin pedal
Agreed . He’s underrated
@music man can grab em from Reverb pretty easy
These two are a great duo, thx Sweetwater!
Great interviewer, EPIC guest. This is just lovely. Phil is the greatest.
Did this man just say ‘Aldo Nova’ ? Phil, i love you.
I got a Duellist and it's amazing. Cool to see, that Phil is using it. Makes me like it even more.
Phil's f'n awesome!!🇨🇦
ALL the tone is really in the green curly cable!!😎
Phila freaking green cable is driving me crazy but I love it!
Phil X rocks!
a diamond among rock performers
It's funny that he briefly mentions Ireland because he apparently spent hours in a vintage guitar shop in Dublin a few years back lol
Why’s James May hosting?
Bruh I’m 50 and I’m like “hey hey mom this is favorite guitar player look!”
Phil X is awesome!
i love phil x... what a guy!
2 of the greats right there
So when is Sweetwater going to start carrying King Tone like the Duelist?
@Sweetwater, can I purchase Don's amazing shirt at Sweetwater? :D
Where have you been Phil ?
I’m surprised you both did not talk about the delay used and settings
I love guitarist's who aren't afraid of the Treble....wow it wanted to write tree of Life Strange
Great video 🤘🏻
Man, Don Carr looks just like Captain Anderton from Anderton's but with long hair .. they even talk in a similar way :)
Ehhh, maybe a little. Don always reminds me of my Aunt Viv. Not sure if that's bad for him or for her.
Shut up and let phil speak. You ask great questions but you keep interupting. Lol cheers bro.
Oh and btw...the flintstones are funny as..ffkkk.
I knew phil since his club days in Toronto. He rocks
Phil X= Greek Power
I don't know if my eyes are seeing things or does he' Les Paul have led light on the pickup switch
So is there misses X?
Everybody must hear from a Piscean ♓ what he's have to say, people who have this sign are genial.
No neck pickup? Is that a dummy neck pickup?
Gee, all I wanted to hear was the story of the blue light.
He only had a bad monkey pedal back in the day! Haha
Too bad so much talent is wasted on covers (as JP) said, it's easy to copy but to create and bring something new...
Those friedman amps.....wow
Why don’t you just use your neck pickup. It’s not a sin
Watched him since the days of Fretted Americana. Such a joy to watch and hear him play everytime. So proud to see him make great strides in the music world.
Same!
Me too, I've been watching Phil for a long time through Fret Americana
me too!
Same man, he used to use a single bad monkey overdrive
Yeah,loved those reviews. He had so much energy (still does).
Phil is one of my guitar heroes, and it is always a delight when he gets coverage. MORE!

Same here ;-) my weapon of choice for the pick slide that everybody must hear
Hear hear. It's 40 quid's worth of magic goodness :)
Where did you put it?
@@sebastianb.2385 end of the FX Return chain so it clean boosts volume.
i met him in mannheim in a restaurant, he‘s not only an amazing guitarplayer, he‘s also very nice and educated... just a great person.
Endless knowledge, solid taste and always the right choices compared with a great personality. Also goes for Pete Thorn
I just love both of these guys. They are serious musicians but they dont take themselves TOO seriously. Funny, down to earth, and relatable to people who are not in the spotlight. Just seem to be great guys!
Phil always throws down. And he sings his ass off too.
It's not a Phil X interview unless he mentions the American Woman solo
We literally did Phil’s Two notes cab pack just a day before this and soooo wanted to ‘leak’ it for Gearfest - but we didn’t… Phil is exactly the same guy off the camera. He’s amazing - he’s Phil X!
WE NEED A LITTLE 20W PHIL X AMP MAN!!! 👌🏻
Always loved the educated simplicity of Phil X. Great humble guitarist. I wish we had more of his kind in guitar world.
Not just in guitar world. This would be a much better place if we had more people like Phil X everywhere. ✌️🇦🇺
I see Phil X, I hit the thumbs up then I click play. I'm a simple creature.
The lady on the right in the purple blouse has a very husky and manly voice😮
Those prdals are cool, but Phil can plug into the mic input of my parents old 70's furniture type 8-track floor stereo system and sound incredible! Where is the DOD BAD MONKEY??? Awesome pedal!

Shout out to Stephen Campbell at Sweetwater.

(I need ALL the help I can get 😉)
Nice Interview, Kaitlyn
The Drills opening for Steel Panther in my local would make me to leave my mansion.
I’ve been watching Phil since his days from Fretted Americana . Phil has matured into an incredible guitar slinger . There is only one Phil X .
Well…that was a way fun was to spend 18:34. Phil is just so damn entertaining! Thanks! 👍🏻😎
bit of a shame to see he has ditched the bad monkey, he is the reason i have one. killer pedal.
Came to say the exact same.
well... it did get discontinued. & the switch was faulty as i broke all of mine. ... so there's that. haha
@@philx1111 ah that makes a lot of sense, always love your sound regardless of what you are playing through anyways.
@@philx1111 I think you’re getting by pretty well without it Phil.
Killer tone & playing as always brother.
I love the way X sends himself up…. I hereby award his honory British status, I’m allowed to do that.
Can somebody please explain to me why bass and drums always play louder when the guitar solo starts? I've been doing classic rock covers for 20 years and it never fails.

Phil X is AWESOME ! Love from Brazil
Phil’s awesome thanks for the time to give us your thoughts. What’s the light up led on your les paul now I want one.
Love that Les Paul! The switch being down near the pots is a very cool mod
We NEED a buddy cop movie with these two
Good cop Bad cop routine. Lemme call a buddy of mine lol
Best guitarist ever.
The guy on the left is good too...
Gotta love that guy!!! Phil X is a true gem. Interviewer is very cool as well. Very very very good interview!!! Tons of respect, guys.
Is Phil Sammy Hagar’s nephew or maybe illegitimate child? because he could be his brother if you wanted.
Phil is an alchemist of tone. He is amazing with no pretense. His energy and passion is unmatched.
I’ve never really thought this before but man every time Don spoke it made me cringe. He just seemed so fake compared to Phil.
Worse tone I’ve ever heard….let’s crank the treble and put a JB in the bridge.
My pedal board has a volume, filter and distortion knob and that's it. it's the only pedal and really, has no need for a board. I've never needed anything else.
Don is a great player in his own right. But Phil is nasty good.
Can we get the old Phil X back. Went all Bon Jovi snobbery on us.
why doesn't the other guy shut up and let Phil finish what he has to say ! Nobody really wants to hear what the other guy has to say...Right !
Take it to the next level 😜 , awesome 👏 awesome 👏
This bloke played eruption on a 59 LP junior. I knew then he was worth his salt
Awesome interview ! Thanks Phil you're a mountain of information and one of my favorite guitarist !
What was the delay in the loop? A Strymon DIG? Would have loved to see the settings.
Awesome interview as always.
Phil is the real deal. So humble.
Phil is on about the intricacies of all these effects and tone while Im just sat here wondering where the blue light is powered from on that Gold Top.
HORRIABLE SOUNDING OVERDRIVE PEDALS. WOW.
Great video! Thanks
whats going on with the Gold top? pick up toggle down in the pots area
Well if it isn't old "Flip Stick" himself...
Is that pickup selector glowing
its crazy hes just using a 25$ ernie ball strap
I hate not being able to hear myself because it makes it harder to play. But I love that nobody else can hear me because I make so many mistakes. Lol
Whats the smaller amp? something 50?
I see Phil x I click
Love this dude
can we hit all the key words........jeez
i always thought that plasma pedal was a gimmick thing for guitar players at home, never thought someone would take it on the road.
Such a down to earth, humble, nice and, most of all, sober guy. He has become the no.1 guitarist I would love to meet.
And yet he sounds absolutely Aweful
Phil Is epic! This video was awesome. Listening to Phil talk about and execute very complex licks and talk about them like they're just these simple things was sweet. He is so humble. What a guy Phil X
Is he wearing.....leather....jeans?
