Best demo of this pedal on RUclips and I have seen a bunch. Getting those iconic tones using pedals is what makes this demo unique. It would be great if you had a breakdown of the pedals and settings you used to get the sounds so close to the originals.
Thanks, Matthew. Too kind. I’m actually about to start a third Lion video for a trilogy of these so maybe I’ll add a segment about the production I did to emulate what would have happened in the studio with these tracks. Good idea. Thanks!
Wow, I haven't seen your videos for years! (last one I saw was a Foxrox thru-0 demo years ago, can't remember where I saw it, I used to be on the EJ forum a lot so could have been from there maybe?) you're still a killer player and still know how to get great sounds! Thanks for the demo, it's definitely put the Lion on my want list.
Again, your range as a guitarist is uncanny! The whole world should know of you. So glad I do… And I don’t know how I missed these vids, I’m subbed. You’re crazy great…..
Do you guys notice a weird almost ring modulation-like sound with your Lion pedal? It hits a lot it seems on the higher frets of the lower strings on Mine and almost sounds like a lofi oct effect. It’s driving me nuts haha
@@solfox3287 Try maybe turning off the “ghost notes” in settings via the app? It’s emulating transformer hum mixing with a note you play creating a third harmonic that some amps do.
I've watched both of your demo videos on the Lion a few dozen times now. You're a phenomenal player - I always think I'm a half decent player then I see people like you just tearing it up. I've got the pedal on order now, but at this point I keep coming back just to play along and study your technique.
Wow, Brian. That’s too kind. Thank you - sincerely. There are so many virtuosos on social media these days and I usually feel very similarly to what you described when surfing around. I kinda see myself as just a “tone guy” and frankly a bit of a dinosaur. To think I’m regarded otherwise by anyone watching these is incredibly flattering. I will remember this comment so thank you again. Hope you enjoy the Lion like I am and it provides fun and inspiration for you!
@@BrendanMowatSmith my Lion gets here Tuesday. Gonna run it through Marshall Origin 50 head into a 2 x 12, and I have a Nux mg30 going into two other 2 x 12s to mix with it. May not even want to I remember watching Eric in the clubs ....changed my life Thanks again
@rogerwilliams2629 That sounds like it’ll be great. You’ll have to use the 4 cable method and run it into the FX loop if you’re gonna use it with the Origin. I haven’t tried that method yet - just direct, but I’m sure it’ll be cool as I’ve heard lots of folks enjoy it that way. Also, incredibly jealous of your seeing EJ back in the day. Today is his birthday! The big 7-0.
@@BrendanMowatSmithThank you! What about Voodoo Child? Fuzz with volume rolled up? Any additional pedals? Does the in room sound close to before EQ or way different? (I know you’re good at surgically EQ’ing to match recordings from your other videos). Wish there was some way without a computer to have these tones possible in a live scenario.
Love the ej-cliffs of dover tone. Any chance you might post knob/alt-knob settings? I think i can see the amp settings but many of them have multiple effects.
Hey, thanks. The knob settings should be as shown in the background of each respective clip. There’s not really a way to see where the secondary functions are set after you’ve saved a sound unfortunately.
That's gotta be the best Cliffs of Dover Live tone I've ever heard. What else did you use in conjunction with the Lion pedal, if you don't mind me asking. Great playing, subbed.
Wow. Much appreciated, Casey. That segment was the UA Starlight > PastFX TD-Y > UA Del•Verb on the spring setting > Lion > TC SCF. That went straight into the Apollo. I EQ’d a bit in Logic to and added the Lexicon 224 and some subtle stereo delays for a further chorusing effect as my investigation lead me to believe happened on the DVD reissue.
Wow, that's quite the recipe! Can't argue with the results haha. I might need to check out that TD-Y pedal, never heard of it! Thanks for the response@@BrendanMowatSmith
@@BrendanMowatSmithprecisely it. I believe (just from the sound of it) that the audio got fancied up by some verb and modulation in post, which is why his tone sounds so utterly enormous in that one particular case. On righteous the modulation is particularly noticeable.
What makes me laugh is you have over $1600 at least tied up in pedals ! Just buy a helix or Axefx !! Hundreds of Better amps cabs IRs eventide quality effects unbelievable routing options parallel multiple amp mixing / multiple quality ins outs it’s a recording interface ! A Stella editor and constant updates ! ? 😜🤫🤯
Adversely, I could just play what inspires and feels and sounds best and the things you mentioned aren’t it. What makes me laugh is dudes that offer condescending unsolicited musical advice on other people’s work and when you go to their channel and it’s entirely comprised of them filming toilets. You live your life and I’ll live mine, thanks.

I agree with your cat, that 88 ACL performance is the greatest concert ever put to film.
Chesterfield has impeccable taste for someone that eats out of a can his whole life.
I knew which artist you were talking about before I even watched the video haha
@@BrendanMowatSmith Awww what a lovely fella!
You have an uncanny ability to nail iconic tones; and the chops to back it! 👏
Too kind, my friend. Thanks so much.
Man, that voodoo child tone was amazing 🔥
Dude, thanks!!
I am stunned at how amazing your playing is bro. Keep posting!
Too kind, friend. Thanks very much for the encouragement.
Easily the best demo of this pedal that I have heard.
Dude, thanks so much for that!

that voodo chile tone is identical to the record... that is great!!!
That’s super kind. Thanks, dude.

Thanks for that. You could always subscribe if you want to keep up with my anything-but-consistent video output. 😜
@@BrendanMowatSmith Sub'd! I love a consistently inconsistent channel :)
Ha. Thanks, dude. You’re gonna love the unpredictability here then!
Again, your range as a guitarist is uncanny! The whole world should know of you. So glad I do… And I don’t know how I missed these vids, I’m subbed. You’re crazy great…..
I'm obsessed with the Lion at the moment, I love mine. Great demo!

Your cat is worshipping you at 0:58 lol. He loves Eric Johnson.
lol. He does mostly seem to be interested when I play hack EJ licks.
Good lawd these tones Brendo 😱 Smoke show 🔥 💨
lol. Thanks, buddy.
Great demo sounds like it was recorded live in the room. Good kitty!
Thanks! I will pass on your cat encouragement too.
Truly sick tones I’m hard to impress
Thanks for the kind comment, dude.
Cool trick with the reverb
I just ordered the pedal based on your demos of it 💥
You’re gonna love it! Have fun!
That was a great review. Very nice playing, too
Roger! Thanks, brother. Hope you’re doing great.

Great song selection to demo a great pedal....
Thanks!
Love that Intro 🙌🙌🙌 Castle Made of Sand.✌🏽
Thanks for that! 😃
This sounds wild man
Thanks, buddy. I’m a wild one.
Sounds amazing ❤🎉
Jimmy! Thanks so much, dude!!!
We've got to get security in here to stop Chester from touching the band
lol!
0:58 Cat of Dover ❤❤❤🤣
Ha. He has discerning taste in my cover choices.
Phenomenal!!
Too kind, bro. Thank you! Especially considering it’s one of the very few videos I didn’t bug you to check the mix beforehand. 🤣
Tones are immaculate! What is the signal chain/recipe for castles made of sand?
Hey, thanks! I think that was just the Strat and fuzz w/ volume rolled off and the Lion. I added Helios EQ and some verb in the mixing stage.

Great stuff! The info on hidden Hall Rev is gold dust.. is there anything similar in the Ruby?
Thanks! Unfortunately I have yet to try the Ruby.
Love the ej-cliffs of dover tone.

He’s the best, eh? If I could just teach him to open the window or light a match after he goes to the bathroom he’d be perfect.

Here’s the original mix confirming our suspicions: ruclips.net/video/rVanTpXxBBA/видео.htmlsi=V9zqNvONKPJSLHw3
There’s my old guitar teacher .
Hey Alex!
Wow
😃
What song on 1:56?
Awesome
Thanks so much. That’s me bastardizing “Spoonful” by Cream but it’s originally a Howlin’ Wolf song.
