So true, I kicked the pedal obsession (almost) after buying about 50+ of various types. Cheap, expensive, boutique, factory, all chasing "the tone". Ultimately I found out I still sound like me through all of them. Yes, some are better than others, but in the long run, I sound better by practicing more than any pedal is going to improve my sound.
@pvbaelen...I tend to agree here. We seem to get lost in the fact that such content is really business & clouds the viewers into thinking they have to get this or that new pedal.
And actually when it comes to overdrive, likely the least important pedal in terms of differentiation. So, it really comes down to ones playing.
Cheers. 🎸🎸🎸
I suscribe to this comment 100%.
The more I practice, my guitar mysteriously begins to sound better
Amen
Went to see the band Big Thief play live a few days ago. What really struck me was how fantastic Adrienne's Lenkers guitar playing sounded. And she says she prefers to almost always play just guitar direct into a great amp. It was Collings guitar into Magnatone Twilighter. Apart from the tight playing, I think her choice of a particularly well-built guitar, with the P-90 pickups were another reason it sounded so good. Great projection - it sounded so crunchy and alive and pushed out in the room. So having a couple of choice options when it comes to pickups might be preferable to tons of pedal options.
Zach Broyles’ denim jacket with the collar popped and sleeves rolled up is what I want my guitar tone to be. Josh Scott’s bicycle t-shirt and dad jeans is what my guitar tone is.
In all honesty, though, that whole 3 Series is severely underrated. So good.
Lol!
What Applebee's appetizer would Zach be?
@@randolphgallagher7942 mozzarella sticks for sure.
🤭🤭🤭
The Blues Driver is amazing tbh
the blues driver is good. the angry driver is amazing.
Honestly that is the one pedal I have never played. Maybe one day :(
It really is, I wish my dumb ass thirteen year old self would have gone for it instead of the Turbo Distortion in my local guitar shop
@@GuitarJawn you'd like it does great for buckers and singles
I did not like mine when I purchased it in 10th grade, but now I love it!
it sounds way better on my ac15 than it did on the cheap solid-state
Crate amps I used to jam with in high school, lol
Hahahaha fantastic: "I'm moving so I need sponsorship for the bills" 😁You're totally right Rhett, good luck with it all and here some interaction for the algorithm 😉
Yes, let's all thank Sweetwater for helping Rhett and Tilly move out of his parent's basement.
Oh, and feed the hungry, hungry algorithm.
Well why don't you sell some of that gear that you won't ever gig with Hell you use that Captor IR whatever simulations Get the priorities straight..Lovely wife Don't be selfish Get the Homestead together first Your not gonna be a rock star
@@paulcowart3174 does he need to? He makes a living with gigging and this Channel, he partially lives of ad revenue and sponsorships
I have had the Boss OD3 for over 10 years and it has never left my board. Love it!
OD3, SD-1 , BD-2. I got an old OD-2 as well.Boss are great.( The OD-3 and SD-1 are modded )
One of the things I really enjoy about this channel is that you don't just play endless solos to demonstrate gear. There's actual riffs and chords unlike a hell of a lot of other guitar based RUclips channels. Kudos.
I actually found myself wishing he'd just play more power chords, but whatever.
I agree.
It's all up to how th individual plays theyr guitar.this is just his way of improvising.we all do it.who wants to write a song for each pedal
EHX Crayon was the winner for me after not quite getting what I wanted from a BD-2, SD-1 and TS mini. Unless you want the particular 'character' of those other drives I highly recommend the Crayon. Very versatile. Easy to dial in just the right sound. Feels like it more naturally enhances what your amp is doing instead of changing the tone too much like other drives can + it still gives you the tube screamer-like mids boost into a big muff thing. Solved all my problems.
The sponsorship plug is one that I didn't even mind. Totally love Sweetwater.
Me too.
And even if one doesn't like Sweetwater, it's totally understandable that a content creator takes in sponsors on their videos.
I approve of this message. Lifelong Sweetwater customer, but they do tend to bug you by email, since their commissions are their lifeblood.
Sweetwater has great service and selection, website, extra features (product info videos and consumer education about all aspects of music, production and gear) .. I wanna go to GEARFEST someday!
Sweetwater rules.
I got a Blues Driver for Christmas about 5 or 6 years ago and it’s never left my board. Absolute favorite pedal!
It was the first pedal I ever bought 4 years ago and it hasn't left my board yet. Currently being used as a mostly clean boost.
I think considering the Crayon and Hot Tubes were in there a little shout out to the HotWax is needed. Both pedals in one enclosure. Fantastic pedal, one of the best overdrives I've ever bought and the the addition of the blend knob is just fantastic.
My one and only issue with it is the shared EQ, I'd rather I was able to do them separately but sure can't win em all.
Man, I love the justification for having the video sponsored. Best of luck with the new house and the BILLZ!
Your blues driver tone in the beginning was great. In the 3 series the distortion sounds great, i know this video is about overdrives but at low gain the 3 series distortion serves as a great overdrive. Also another great pedal is Joyo Baatsin. When you play by yourself it's great to get good different sounds from a budget pedal, you can't get bored with that pedal.
Love the Hot Tubes pedal. Really classic, old school sound. Thanks for the opportunity Rhett.
Rhett I just wanna say that I discovered your channel through Rick Beato's channel and then I have been watching your backstage vlogs. Man, thanks for presenting the life on the road, a musician's life. That's the life I've been wanting to live and you're really ignited the flame in me and those videos have been inspiring and encouraging! You are my favorite youtuber now. Keep going and good wishes to you.
Boss's OD-3 is such an incredibly underrated overdrive. Through the front of an Orange amp, it really opens up the dirty channel, giving it a much more prominent midrange and a tighter bottom end so much better than many other popular overdrives out on the market. Fantastic demo Rhett! Keep up the great work!
cheers mate - I am looking at an OD3 to run in front of my Rockerverb 50 MK3 as a lead tone (on dirt channel) and a good slightly dirty boost on the clean channel. I'm hoping it will be the best for this use without spending stupid $
İ agree
Every time you started playing I thought, I really like this pedal…and then you turned on the pedal. 😄
Yeah, I appreciate that it takes pedals well, but it’s a little odd to use a $3,200 amp to make a video comparing
@@cocodacoco3065 I wish he would do a video on overdrives for a stock blues Jr since it's so popular
@@quistador7and us the same guitar for all the clips. With the same amp settings 🤷♂️
I love it when a trusted RUclipsr's ears match my own experience.
Stay healthy everybody... UK is now open! - I got my first gig bookings, had given up all hope of that for 2021
Having insights from both a player and pedal designer was wonderfully informative. Good work!
The Blues Driver you sent me just arrived I can't wait to see where it takes me. You rock bro. I can't thank you enough! Good luck in your new home...
The Earthquaqer Devices Plumes pedal is the best pedal i have ever owned. Ive played for over 25 years and once I got the plumes a few years back I was just blown away. The amount of sounds is just incredible and I highly recommend it. Rock on everyone!
Thanks for keeping it real, Rhett. The Blues Driver is my ‘always on’ pedal and I use an OCD as a second gain stage for solos.
This guy right here has just covered my entire gain stage. I have a BD-2 going into an EHX Hot Wax (Crayon + hot tubes). I like the hot wax for the addition of the clean blend.
The Blues Driver is my first overdrive and is still, after so many, my favorite. I can use it literally in any position I want, in any config and it will sound brilliant.
Can't go wrong. I use it for light-ish rhythm gain and fat Duane type leads. Does it all.
I tried a few ODs a few years ago, and as soon as I switched on the Blues Driver, I knew this is it. And I still love it. Does everything from nearly no gain to almost Fuzz Face Territory. Also works fine with both Single Coils and Humbuckers.
The only other 'drive' I use is an old EQ, as a booster, most of the time after the BD2
My first pedal was the OD3 I changed to the BD and never went back.
Congratulations on the house purchase. Awesome video, it’s so true about the pedals. I’ve collected a bunch of boutique pedals for a few years and they’re awesome but some of the cheaper more ‘mass- produced’ pedals are also fantastic. OD-3 is also a favourite of mine along with a few EHX pedals👌🏻
I really appreciate your level of honesty. Integrity doesn’t come easy today. Thank you, Rhett.
I have a battered old blues driver which was my first overdrive and is pretty much a stable on my board ever since.
Others ODs come and go but the BD-2 is always in the mix.
All of those sound fantastic. Great vid Rhett-excellent playing to highlight the pedals. Love my BD2 into an old Pro Jr-such a good mix. Would love to see you do a similar vid for FUZZ!
Thanks a lot for all your amazing work on this platform, Rhett!
And cheers to you guys in your new home!
Thanks Rhett for sharing this. Also, glad it didn't get rained out.
I *reeeeeeally* appreciate the review of gear that I might actually buy and use. It's always nice to see the high-end stuff in action but odds are I'll never own any of it (with a few rare exceptions). Thanks Rhett!
Great lineup, with the exception of the Earthquaker ! Very reasonable priced ! I personally have the EHX Hot Tubes ,its that killer "Valve Tone- Sound " every one loves ! Push the Tone to 2:00 ,Gain to 3:30 ish, and Volume to about 12:00 ,now your cooking !😎👍✌
Very informative as usual Rhett, thank you! Good luck on the house, you and Tilly deserve it!
That is exactly the kind of video I needed! Cheers Rhett. Again, learning a lot from your videos! Thanks! 👊🏽
As a DIYer I love the nerdy details that Zack gives! 😃
I used the Blues Driver for years, then the Plumes came out and I had to try it. Ever since I got my Plumes it has replaced my Blues Driver. I mainly use the Plumes on the OP Amp setting with the tone and gain set pretty high (almost like a treble booster), which just completely obliterates my amp.
A while back I watched a Premier Guitar Rig Rundown for the band All Them Witches. Their guitarist, Ben McLeod, uses a spartan rig of a Gibson LP with a Super Distortion in the bridge, a wah, a Blues Driver, a delay, a ehx Freeze, and a tuner. The sounds this guy gets are truly massive, fuzzed out tones, and he mainly used a Blues Driver for the first couple of albums they released. He said his favorite thing about the way he uses the Blues Driver (which is into a cranked Twin Reverb), is that he loves how it sounds like a pedal is being clicked on. He'll go from clean to boooooooming tube saturation.
Love the Plumes!
That Boss Blues Driver with the Strat sounds amazing! Sparkle and grit.
The Way Huge Green Rhino is another fantastic overdrive that won’t break the bank. I really love the 500hz mid EQ. You can go from a fairly unaltered boost to a super nasally overdrive/almost distortion drive tone. The Overrated Special is another favorite of mine. Very similar to the Green Rhino with a bit more mid boost and drive.
If you like the Hot Tubes and the Crayon you can get both with the EHX Hot Wax dual overdrive. It goes for $120 which effectively puts the price for each at $60.
I also think you really need to have the EHX Soul Food in here. It's one of the most affordable Klon Centaur-like circuits out there and imparts a very interesting tonal tweak whether you're using low gain/high volume or high gain/low volume.
I like every one of these for different reasons. Great video.
I especially love the Boss OD-3. It can be an “amp in a box” into a clean amp, and it’s also great for pushing an amp with the drive at minimum and the level cranked.
Again, great video!
Thanks Rhett, you've got me thinking about the JHS and the Blues Driver. I've been trying out a friend's Electro-Harmonix OD Glove and it's really nice. It does a decent low gain but sounds more like a Fuzz when the gain is cranked. Kind of a cool combination to have in one pedal. Love your videos man, keep up the great work!
Another one I would recommend would be the MXR GT- Overdrive, extremely versatile, works well with all types of coil-pickup configuration, and guitars, and the $ is around $100.00 ! It goes from mild to in your face wild ! Peace !😎👍✌
It's worth noting that the Plumes, while being similar to a tube screamer, uses only opamps giving a higher input impedance. It also runs the opamps on a bipolar supply that is -9V/9V giving 18 volts of headroom. These factors combined give it a lot more clarity than a classic tubescreamer. It also explains why it has so much output as well.
Thanks to you and Sweetwater for the chance to win a pedal! Good luck with the new house, probably going to need to do a few more sponsored videos! You rock!
Bd 2 is my first pedal ever and i love this.
Thank you. Greetings from Catalonia.
The Hot Tubes is a fantastic pedal. Feels like 80% Overdrive / 20% fuzz with a very large range of gain. It's capable of very subtle low gains while always retaining an identity of its own. At higher gain the sound gets pretty thick as the fuzzy aspect gets more and more noticeable. Very unique and probably not suited for every situation but definitely one of my favorite OD.
Every ehx pedal is about 20% fuzz lol
Perhaps the best pedal for making a boring amp sound better. Great on bass too.
@@misterknightowlandcohaha
My first pedal back in the 70s. Was 120v. It would keep blowing up, I'd keep rewiring it, and it would sound even better. Like thunder.
the TC MojoMojo needs to be on this list. I purchased the EHX Crayon that you feature here and basically couldn't use it with my set-up. It had way too much noise and didn't sound good at low-gain / boost type settings. So I swapped it for the Mojomojo which was $20 cheaper and I'm glad I did. The Mojomojo is much more versatile and less noisy.
best honest reason for sponsorship. no shame in just payin the bills. great content Rhett. Keep up the good work.
I have the Boss SD-1 and have never grown tired of it. I had the Blues Driver back in the day and never fully appreciated what it was good for.
If you're really on a budget, get the EHX hot wax. It's a single pedal combining the crayon and the hot tubes. You can use either side or stack them. I've enjoyed mine for a while now.
I just got one about six months ago. It stacks well with the East River Drive too.
Gonna be one of my next.
@@FunWithMastaAce I still have the hot wax, but I’ve since replaced the East River Drive with a Boss SD-1, I highly recommend it.
That is a great pedal!
@@keithpennington6141 Both those are tube screamers.
I just got a 4k TV. Man, your video quality is top notch!
Great video with a fresh perspective. Nice to finally know why the Blues Driver is my fav.
I've got the Plumes, Hot Tubes, and a Keeley Super Phat Mod on my board, and couldn't be happier. Combinations of those three will get you about anywhere you want to go.
Wish the Nobels ODR-1 was on this list.
Loooove the ODR1. The mini was a near instant add to my board
It’s about $120
@@joshuamirabal822 I had the odr1 and it isn't as versatile as the od3. I remember getting mine for about $80. It's not bad but I had a harder time foaling in a good tone
Cheap and effective always make for great must haves in the guitar collection and gear. Great and informative
Rhett, I love this video! Great format and editing as well as a very interesting subject. Thanks!
You are such a good player. I was surprised by how good the EHX pedals sounded, and I had never heard of them, so thanks for the introduction!
Boss SD-1 is my fav value pedal. Sounds amazing boosting a dirty channel with a lot of gain. Has the perfect voicing for that specifically. I got mine for like $50 and run it at 13.5v. Love it into my Laney and Marshall.
My go to pedal :)
Well they all sound great. I personally love the Crayon. I have the Hotwax and it can cover every tone I need. Amazing dual OD.
I think your playing on this video is perfection. Bravo Rhett.
The plumes w/ all knobs cranked into a dark terror is my go to set-up at the moment! Congrats on the new house!
Rhett! You should talk about the EHX Soul Food! Of everyone I know, I'm the only one that actually uses it like an overdrive rather than boost but I find it's one the most kickass cut-through-the-mix kind of overdrive, super underrated and has been a mainstay on my board for years
Have to say, I’m not a big fan of tubescreamers either, so have always ignored the Plumes, but that things sounded fantastic... particularly liked the LED clipping!
Love the Spalted maple ovation I bought and had them set it up at Sweetwater. Fantastic sound ,feel and looks ! I buy almost everything from them now .
12:51 sounds almost like a Rival Sons song called Secret haha, nice. Great video, really love all these affordable options for overdrives.
If you include used pedals here, the Sparkle Drive Mod is a wonderful pedal imo. I love the wet/dry blend for a drive pedal. Can regularly find it used under $100.
I also recommend the Marshall Jackhammer. Great overdrive pedal!
This is a really cool video! Great input from Rhett and Zach.
First time seeing your videos. Just wanted to say your voice is incredibly clear and crisp! I dig it
I have a Blues Driver and it's by far my favorite pedal
The Earthquaker Devices Plumes is really great.
The three different clipping modes are super useful.
It's like a hifi ts, way more useful.
With plumes, I like the middle toggle setting, with the gain low and volume at 2 oclock and tone adjusted to taste for a nice boost and breakup effect
Man I love the "chunk" pedals with hard switches make. Sooo satisfying
Bro, one thing I like about you is your transparency. That's how I know you are legit. You don't hide your flaws, you always say if you are sponsored or not, so when you vouch for something, I'm always in.
When it comes to RUclips channels and musicians, describing the category as "over-saturated" is a massive understatement. From professional producer musicians to lifelong studio greats, to virtuosos and even future guitar legends, the amount of content at our fingertips is seemingly endless. That being said, there are individuals who stand out.. who rise above the rest. Some, because of their insane riffs and licks.. others, their attention to cinematic details and incredible audio/video quality. Who's one of my favorites you may ask? Fuckin' Rhett, man. He consistently uploads a variety of educational, entertaining, engaging, and killer guitar content.. he just gets it. I've been playing instruments longer than I can remember. I've played in all kinds of scenarios.. studios, bars, churches, weddings.. I've been writing music for decades. At this point in my life, I mostly play acoustic guitar. Somehow Rhett has caused me to purchase a resonator, a handful of slides, a Les Paul, a semi-hollowbody, and the list goes on. He's given me inspiration in musical avenues I'd never even considered checking out over the years. I truly hope there's a mass of guitarists out there who feel the same and get excited every time a new video is posted. Rhett, you're doing something great and special.. I appreciate your dedication and hard work. Keep creating and following your dreams!
Sending peace & love from Missouri -Todd
Man, Todd I really appreciate reading this comment. This is so encouraging, thank you.
Hell yea brother
Amen to that. Rhett is the only guitar RUclipsr that I watch every video from.
You're right, .... Rhett is really good!
with a real dose of passion...
My go-to is the "Hot Wax", which is a Hot Tubes and a Crayon in a combo pedal. I love both sides, but I also really enjoy being able to place one in front of the other in a chain - either direction. The color provided by the Crayon really helps if you're looking to revoice the tone, and it sits well with the drive from the Hot Tubes.
for years I pretty much used only one pedal for gigs and jamsessions: the OD3. I did disconnect 2 diodes which made the pedal a bit more transparent without losing it`s character. Going into a Clean(ish) amp set to: as loud as you can get away with, vol 2/3 ´o clock, tone 12 ´o clock, gain 10/11 ´o clock and play with the guitar volume a lot to get beautiful cleans and thundering overdrive sounds. amazing pedal.
Congrats on the house! Thats awesome i hope all the inspections go well. I hope that it all plans out well for you.
Congrats on the house man!
I had room for 1 overdrive on my board so I had to choose between the Hot Tubes or the tube screamer type pedal I had. Then I found out that EHX makes the Hot Wax which is the Hot Tubes and the Crayon in one pedal so now I get the best of both worlds. XD
LOVE the Hot Tubes. Criminally underrated. My secret weapon. Also works really well on bass guitar to give solid state amps a warm tubey-ness.
With a HotTubes and a Crayon you can cover a whole lot of ground.
Hey Drew Foster is my sales engineer too! Love Sweetwater. Absolutely nothing wrong with having them as a sponsor.
Bd-2 is pretty much the one pedal I would choose if I could have only one.
Agree, does everything from nearly clean to Fuzz
@@patricksommer3971 I had one for years it was hard dialing in a good tone. It's easier to get the tone with the od3. I gave it away to a friend of mine after it being on and off my board for a few years in and out of a few bands across genres. I hear they work better with a stratocaster than the guitars I have
@@larrykhulmann6262 probably it did'nt work with your setup
With my amp and the Bluesdriver, it's hard to get a bad tone
Awesome pedal, super thick and glassy, cleans up really well without too much volume and clarity loss. Sounds just like my amps overdrive channel but a bit more definition. Prob my fav!
Many swear with the BD-2. Some say strat, some say humbucker. I love strats but never felt anything for the BD-2. From clean to Fuzz? Yes, pretty much. But not the fuzz I like. And the low gain retains some fuzziness. Misses something soft in between to be an overdrive. I modded an SD-1 to clipper choices and felt higher treshold clipping in such a circuit is more to my taste.
The Blues Driver is the first distortion pedal I ever had in the mid 90's when I was a teenager. Back then Boss was absolutely dominant and it seems in the recent years that the "boutique" stuff has sorta become more in vogue but I'm sure Boss is still awesome. Just an aside for Rhett, I know this is not a "budget" pedal but I'm just curious if you know anything about T-Rex. I have the Mudhoney and that thing is PHENOMENAL with my AC30. I'd HIGHLY recommend you check out T-Rex if you haven't and especially since you're a Vox fan as well.
Not a bad thing to be sponsored.
I liked each pedal.
I LOVED the technical analysis by Mythos's owner.
Cool to see the Hot Tubes get some love, it's been on and off (mostly on) my board for a long time.
I’m also in the anti-tubescreamer camp, but when I tried the plumes, I loved it. I don’t get why EQD is pricing it so low. It’s a great overdrive regardless of the price.
EHX is killing it on budget overdrives. The Crayon and Hot tubes are fantastic and the Soul Food is even better. The BD-2 is also fantastic, pairs really well with a TS9.
That's exactly what I do. Boost my bd2 with a ts9. I can't find much use for the ts9 on its own, but in conjunction with another pedal it's a must have.
@@jordanpratt3821 in outdoor gigs the TS9 is magical just gets the right tone to push to the front of the mix while leaving space for others.
the hot tube is a frightening beast, I love it! great video also, as always Rhett
Good luck with the move, can’t wait to see the what the new studio is gonna be like!
The hot tubes is my favourite guitar pedal, period. To me it sounds very "amp like" and dynamic, I use it to add a bit of gain to my clean sound all the time, or stack other overdrives into it, to push the input stage.
It does some very throbby tones.
Great pedals , in my opinion there is nothing more beloved than the Boss BD2 Blues driver 🤗
Wow - that neck pickup with the Plumes......amazing tone.
Great video! I would like to see more of this style. Thanks
Love the Crayon. That thing rips.
I like the Electro-Harmonix Soul Food, tbh. I don't know if it's consider "good," but it works for me.
I love my soul food, it’s great to my ears.
No better Klon clone for that price in my opinion.
Got mine alchemy modded and stack it after and old boss od. godly smooth
The Soul Food is nice and mellow without totally changing the tone. Excellent boost pedal.
How do you guys use it? I have it before a SL drive but I think I’m using it wrong, like if it shouldn’t be there if I try to use it for stacking, however each pedal on its own sounds so good, I love my Soul Food that I don’t think I could part ways with it.
Many thanks Rhett. Very helpful information sir. 👍👍
congrats on the new home purchase. Just purchased your Nashville number system course to help contribute. I had a jam with some experienced musicians this weekend, boy! I wish I had done the course before the jam.
