Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
Andy will always be king when it comes to pedal reviews
It does really annoy me when some of the more luddite channels criticise new tech they are demoing for things that would be easily solved by reading the manual. Or at the least not treating whatever it is like a 60 year old valve amp.
The green thing that looks like a tiny step-ladder.
He makes all of them sound good because he can show them all in a useful context.
Yes, he's promoting them, but he's also proving they're all very capable, if used appropriately (using a boss ds-1 into a clean Fender for smooth blues won't work, so mick probably wouldn't be into it, but using it for 90s grunge and alt rock really shows it at its best).
There are a few I like:
Andy, obviously.
Mike Hermans
Knobs
Dennis Kayser
Brett Kingman
I don't expect any pedals to sound the same when I get them, but I usually get enough of an idea to make a yes/no decision.
So for example. If I’m watching Pete Honore with an overdrive pedal, it won’t tell me anything. Whereas if I watch Brett Kingman, his playing style is a lot closer to mine. So I sort of get a better sense of what something is likely to sound like in the context of my rig.
I loved the sound of both guitar and amp setups in Mick's video. Interesting that at 3.00 he runs the DRRI volume at 7 which is for me the sweet spot of that amp and where I always set mine. Then at 3.20 he adds the Klon where I use a Tumnus.
