The Shift Line Stages combines three unique gain stages, 3-band EQ, and voicing control. This is not a clone or a modification on any other circuit. Let me know what you think of the Stages pedal. Check it out here - 🛒 Shift Line Website - shift-line.com/stages
I got mine few days ago and I’m impressed. I build tube amps and I designed a tube amp last year that has a fenderish clean channel and a very versatile od channel that goes from jtm, plexi, jcm, slo, dumble, etc. , using different gain stages and tone shaping switches. The thing is that this pedal on the clean channel sounds, feels and behave just as my amp’s od channel on the marshallish kind of tones. It’s so good, very clear, defined, articulate and so amp like. It’s also very, very dynamic. Love it.!!!
It sounds like a very useful pedal. I like the various modes you can switch to, and it's great that you don't have to muck with the controls each time, unlike other pedals I have. I wish they'd have made the stages toggle switch an actual footswitch. That would've made it even more practical!
This is an amazing pedal which I managed to get thanks to a friend and as a fellow lefty I really dig watching you play and this is a great sound for a not so great player such as myself lol… The other pedal options look pretty cool too
Hi, Shane. Great review. Overdrive pedal with 3 eq knobs and 2 voicing switches, what can be more versatile! Few years ago I had Termofuzz from Shift Line, also good pedal, regret that I sold it.
Best regards for your experience! I have Boss BD-2 Blues Driver. I see Blues Driver and Stages are similar. Will I get something new if I buy Stages? Maybe Stages has better dynamics and response to touch? Or are these pedals equivalent? Thanks (I know the sound in our hands and head, BUT....)
This has the ZZ Top thing plus loads of other tones as well. The Eliminator is a great sounding pedal, but check how long the order will take to get before you buy one. I heard some guys were having issues waiting for them after that initial video blew up.
Of all the pedal builders out there you are featuring a Russian builder that is currently shipping pedals out of Russia through Kazakstan to avoid sanctions? Really?

Very nice pedal! I also enjoyed the ZZ Top inspired jam track. Awesome stuff, Shane!
Thanks, Dennis!

Wow that has some kick to it, awesome!
Thanks, mate! Yeah, it's quite the all in one!

Absolutely terrific pedal Shane. Now if I could only play like you or Dr. Ric I'd be in business. 😊
Blues On....💙
If it does Blues and ZZ-TOP I want one 😀

Sounds good and a good way to save space on a board having overdrive and distortion in one pedal .
Great video Shane! Some great tones here!
A haw, haw, haw great tone and versatile too 😮
Superb demo, Shane! This pedal really has it all: killler tones from A to Z. Cheers!
Your new studio looks pretty confortable :)
That pedal is very versatile. I think I need one :D
Great demo, thx
Your playing was tasty and awesome, really dug the demo. The 3 band eq is a great feature, lots of usable tones from that pedal.

Great sounding Pedal Shane. Awesome review. Cheers.
quite versatile tool! Maybe a second footswitch would be a nice future addition, for choosing Lo-Gain/Hi-gain function on the fly.
Thanks Shane

This looks like in the new studio, right?
Happy New Year! How do you decide between this and the Kernom Ridge?
You definitely have the groove going
This pedal seems add the steel cap to your overdrive boot.
Hey Shane ,
Purely for the ZZ Top sound , This or the Missing Link Audio Eliminator Pedal ?
This has the ZZ Top thing plus loads of other tones as well. The Eliminator is a great sounding pedal, but check how long the order will take to get before you buy one. I heard some guys were having issues waiting for them after that initial video blew up.
Thank you👍@@intheblues
Any good on bass?
Et t'elle distribué en France
Does that Vola have SS frets ?
Yes it does! I love the feel of SS frets on a roasted maple neck.

Of all the pedal builders out there you are featuring a Russian builder that is currently shipping pedals out of Russia through Kazakstan to avoid sanctions?
Really?
He's reviewing a pedal , not political views .
Why should a pedal builder be penalised for the actions of their deranged head of state?
Being German doesn't make you Hitler.
Being Russian doesn't make you Putin.
Thinking so does, however, make you a racist.
@@rselp Their head of state is not deranged, they're not from the USA
This is exactly the same way how the western pedal builders ship to Russia to avoid sanctions, seems fair to me
