Thanks!

Rock on! 🤘

Heck yeah! Can’t go wrong with either of these fine pedals.

That’s tough as the pedal is pretty interactive based on the guitar and amp you use it with. The pdf is a good place to start for typical Marshall sounds. From there it reacts a lot like a Marshall so some of the rules apply as well, such as a lack of base in a Plexi until the gain is past 2 o’clock or diming the mids will tighten it up. Don’t be afraid to to go extreme with the settings either, a lot of times when going to a cleaner tone I’ll have the bass almost all the way up.

@yo_soy_pmd Ok, played around with the pedal some more to find a good starting point. These settings are about what I use going into my Bloomfield Drive with all of its knobs set to noon. All pedal setting are expressed in o’clock values. Volume to unity (just below 9), Gain a hair below 3, presence 12, Treble 12:30, Middle 1, Base 2:30. Switches are: top end down, low end down, densitity up, golden era down, gain structure up, gain saturations middle and right. For me at least these settings work on all 3 channels with my Strat.

매우 감사합니다

Yeah, sorry for using such a crummy guitar for this demo! XD

Cornish pedals definitely are more at home at gig volumes! Now you say that your CC-1 sits one a “small” board, but I find that hard to believe based on the size of that thing!

⁠@@GuitarToneProI use the term loosely! Couple gain stages, couple of wet effects. To be fair, the size of the enclosure of Pete’s stuff - even the battery-free ones - means you can squeeze them up against other pedals and still hit the button on stage. With smaller pedals, I tend to leave a bit of a gap between them to avoid hitting more than one, so it’s not much more real estate - from side to side at least.

@onenotesolo256 That’s true, except that he still puts the jacks on the sides. Really wish they were top mount.

@@GuitarTonePro very good point

Such kind words, thank you.

This one is more accurate to the vintage amps but doesn’t have a high gain JVM mode. The high gain mode is Mr Wu’s take on a modded JCM800 but supposedly the way the other modes react to the signal (for example the guitar volume knob) is supposed to be even closer to the actual amps. In practice, it’s generally brighter and more open sounding. I still have the original so I’ll try and do a comparison at some point, but some of the settings don’t come across well after RUclips compressed the video.

Really depends on just how low you need it to be. I play at night when everyone is asleep and can crank 100 watt amps because I’m in a basement offset. But as far as a “bedroom” volume amp, the high gain channel is ok at low volumes, but the other two channels don’t do a great job IMO. Unless you play out (and quite loud at that) as well as bedroom levels, this isn’t the amp for you. It’s like old Boogies where the volume goes from can’t hear to too loud by blowing on the knob.

​@@GuitarTonePro Thank the Lord for the Fryette Power Station.

@aaron9142 that would totally solve the problem.

Thanks!

Hope you feel better!

@@GuitarTonePro thanks also tomorrow is my oldest sister birthday

@@aminahmed2220 Happy Birthday to her! Take her out somewhere fun! Maybe with live music!

Yep, making it my goal to start talking in my videos this year but right now it’s hard just to find time to record at all. 😆

Нет, он используется для легкой езды без особого увеличения громкости.

Couldn’t agree more, both MGATs have become some of my favorite overdrive pedals and pretty much just work however you run them. The original is still worth keeping for the higher gain sounds, but I agree the GE is just a bit more responsive to the guitar.

Awesome! That is a great set of pedals.

Your welcome! It’s lower gain than the original in general, but also a bit more lively with sizzle. Hopefully I’ll find some time soon to do a comparison of the suggested presets between the original and the golden era.

Yes, meant to be very mild overdrive, but also this video was shot back in the days of “transparent” overdrives heyday. It was a strange time where people got excited that you could turn on an overdrive pedal and hear no change. Check out my new video on this pedal. ruclips.net/video/Ph8VNfHUT-M/видео.htmlsi=11-5bXiGSe0rtSUK

Totally! I had bought a spare of the original worrying about all those small switches, but it’s had zero issues. Those small switches actually make a pretty big difference in this pedal and give all the variations that let you match, or customize, to authentic tones.

Thank you for the kind words!

You’re welcome!

Thanks!

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you so much for your kind words! Both great pedals, similar in many ways, but react and sound different in others.

I don’t think the pedal needs to be played loud for it to work. It’s a very dynamic pedals that sounds good even quiet. Is it worth it? See my other video comparing it to the Brothers by Chase Bliss. For the way I was using it I could get VERY close in tone and feel, and that pedal has a lot more options available.

Thanks for your kind words. No I bought that pedal used as well. It is a fantastic pedal, and does a certain kind of cleanup without changing volume that very few pedals can do.

Thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately I had to let it go to get back my ‘59 Strat. I do need to revisit the Fjord Fuzz brand again, but there are just so many good fuzzes out now.

Same here, both pedals are fantastic and for fuzz addict like myself, different enough to be worth keeping. This was an experiment I wanted to do when I realized you could mix a GE with an SI in the Pride which is what the Myriad is. For those who maybe don’t love fuzz as much and just want one fuzz, I figure this might help them decide between them.

That’s what I ended up keeping in the end, but the SVL was closer than any other Strat style guitar I’ve tried including some custom shops. Also, I preferred the playability and feel of the SVL as well since you can custom request the specs to taste.

@@GuitarTonePro congrats on owning such an amazing piece of history. 59 is prob my favorite strat year, holy grail for me ( not that I’ve ever played one). And yours is no exception. Now that I re-read my post - Did not mean to insinuate that the svl was bad sounding. Sounds great and yes, my all pro friends without exception tell me playability (specifically at my non- pro level) is more important than the “ perfect tone”.

Thanks! ‘59 slab boards are love or hate. The necks are super thin both in nut width and thickness from fretboard to back of neck. Pickups are very low output and bright (some quite brittle), but if you adapt your rig to them, they do sound fantastic. I got lucky and got mine as a refin, refret with a headstock repair so it was affordable (between custom shop and masterbuilt pricing). Got rid of it once and bought it back, so now it stays.

Sure, kept it really simple for this video. ‘59 Strat - Blender - Weapon - Pride - Bloomfield Drive - OX Box

Yeah, fuzz in general has become a bit of an addiction lately. I now have almost as many fuzzes as I do overdrives.

Depends on your point of view. Coming from a 100-watt CRS before I got the combo there was a noticeable difference, but coming from any other amp the difference is much less. I would say 80% of the difference comes down to the cab (2x12 vs 1x12 combo) with the rest being the speed of the 100-watt head and it's ability to put out low end at higher volumes. The head feels a lot more like the combo when it's switched into it's 50-watt mode. Money no object, I'd have a 100-watt CRS and 40-watt Bloomfield combo, but in the real world the 100-watt Bloomfield is sooo close to the CRS that I can't justify both.

@@GuitarTonePro appreciate you taking the time to reply. Im about to buy a used bloomfield head 40/20 with a 2x12 signature cab its a good deal. I heard the master volumes are really good on the two rocks. I just wondered at moderate volume if there is much sonic difference between the 6v6 and the larger 6L6 100 watt head or even the 50 watt 6L6 combo. Id hate to think the 6v6 model is inferior sound wise. I guess there's going to be more low end with the bigger transformer in the 6L6 models like you say but im unlikely to play really loud. Thank again top man

You’re welcome, and the 40 watt head with 2x12 cab in my opinion is the perfect combo for home use and in no ways inferior. And yes, their master volume’s are incredible. I have two young’s kids who will sometimes play games in my man cave right next to my amps while I’m playing, so I have them whisper quiet and they’re still satisfying to play that way. Of course when you do get a chance to turn them up they really start to sing.

Just what i needed to hear will go grab the two rock this saturday. Thank you so much

Thanks!

You’re welcome! That’s why I originally started doing this as well. I have to buy and sell pedals to try them anymore, so now I make sure I try to record them before I get rid of them or to share the ones I decide to keep.

Oh also, if you're interested in DanDrive pedals I'm hoping to get a chance soon to record and post a comparison between the Austin Blender, Austin Pride and Secret Weapon!

Yeah, sorry for the slightly troll/clickbait title, it was done as a test. It was honestly quite nice as in Eb the low E string still had a nice snap to it. That said I had to go back to 10s as I didn't want to recut the original nut.

Thank you for the kind words! As much as we like to say that tone is in the fingers (and certainly a lot of it is) it is also very much in the gear as well. As with all things guitar, it's a feedback loop where good gear gives good tone, which inspires more playing causing better tone!

Thanks! Haven’t tried the imperial drive but the Beefeater is definitely a really good vintage style silicon fuzz. My only critique is that like many actual vintage fuzzes, it doesn’t have a super amount of volume output. Still, crank it all to 10 and it sounds great.

I forget exactly what the mod is for the DS-1 from Analogman, but in general I find he gets rid of the fizzy top end first before any other tone shaping. I have had an unmodded one too and found some good tones in it. From what I remember turn the tone all the way down and the volume nearly all the way up. Increase tone until it starts to give you top end to match your clean and adjust gain from there. If you raise the gain past half or so you’ll need to probably drop some tone down again.

Lol. 11’s generally feel comfortable in E standard, going heavier is fun. Just not on a vintage instrument as I don’t want to cut the nut.

@@GuitarTonePro I used to use 12s in E a few years ago, but eventually started using lighter strings. Tbh, it doesn't matter that much to me since I usually play with distortion. It's mostly about feel for me.

I agree. I mostly like heavier gauge for a snappier low E, but have gone back to 10s for the most part now as I went back to a floating bridge on the Strat and it’s just easier to stock a single gauge.

This is quickly becoming one of my top overdrive pedals. Very dynamic and the amount of gain and saturation you can dial in if you want is outstanding.

Thanks!

Thanks! I was surprised how good the King of Tone sounds on Distortion + Overdrive, always had used it with lower gain settings in the past.

@@GuitarTonePro true story, I also was never the high gain type but this truly sounded awesome :)

Yeah, of course “high gain” is relative. Picked up a Sinvertek MGAT-1 recently and that has tons of gain.

That’s a tough call. The Austin Pride has more variety in it with being able to switch each side between silicon or germanium and the easier to get to bias adjustment. The Myriad though has more range of usability within the fuzz range and tone as well as more output level. I think I’d lean towards the Austin Pride, as it does the cleanup on a Strat thing really well and the Myriad is a little closer to my Fuzz Factory 7. That said, this is the second Myriad I’ve owned, sold one before and eventually bought another one. Vemuram really nails the aesthetic and physical feel of their pedals, making them almost as nice to look at as to play.

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks! Unfortunately I have not had a chance to try a Fuzz Phase, but everything I’ve tried by Jam Pedals has been top notch so I’m sure it’s good.

Thanks

Thanks… I think? 😁

It is very stunning, over the flame maple it reminds me of the beach line. Looked around for a long time to find one just like I wanted.
