It's not Click Bait if it's True! Zach finally made what I always wanted from an overdrive pedal. I use 2 or 3 pedals at one time to get me what the Herculean Deluxe does and now those sounds are in one pedal. I'm really excited about this and for Mythos!
- Thanks Cory. If that’s truly the way you feel, than ok. And I guess I neglected to account for the arsenal of OD pedals you must have within arms reach to “supplement” when desired. But as much as I hate cliches, “nothing is definite but death and taxes” still holds true. Cheers. 🎸
@@adamkrauss303 Ha thanks for that. I do have an arsenal but, only ones that I will actually USE make the boards. Yes boards plural as they are for different jobs because I still do this guitar playing thing for a living and need the "right" tools!
Holy heck!! You guys are sooo very kind. I really try to be a positive in the world. Thank you. 🙏
We love ya RK!
Mr. Keeley, I’ve never met you but you seem like a great guy. Side note. I had an issue with my halo (I got mine when it first came out). I sent an email to your support team. Within 30 mins I got an email back with a label to return ship. In less than a week I had the pedal back and better than ever. You guys rock.
You're a legend Robert!
I love the way Zach talks about his designs. Competent, intelligent designer.
Indeed! Lovely chap as well!
I don’t get all the sour comments. This pedal sounds great. You have great content!
Mythos pedals are awesome. Zach is a great player, pedal designer, and RUclips personality. I like all of his stuff.
I love yalls videos. Both of you. My mom passed away a year ago and I had quit playing 18 years ago when my daughter was born. When my mom passed I bought a guitar, a PRS S2 and I've started playing and it's helped with my grief and I love your videos. Corey. Thank you so much for bringing peace to my grief.
Best dual OD pedal I've ever owned. And I own a lot. Thanks Zach!
What other pedals did you compare it to?
What a great sounding pedal. It is so amp like. If I were a gigging musician, I would add this to my pedal board.
to me, it sounds like a very nice driven valve amp's preamp. i love my amp's driven tone, but i like to shape it for a cutting lead tone. so i use a clean push with a mid bump to drive the preamp a touch harder but cuts in the mix. this pedal does that so nicely.
oh, and about mids, my amp sounds ok at home, but sits so nicely in a band mix, because of the mids.
W0W! This is a most excellent pedal! It would be the greatest pedal ever created, if it only went too 11!!! Thank you Mr Congilio for the awesome demo!
Really appreciate all the experience and knowledge - Youz guys! ❤😊
Our pleasure. Thanks for being kind.
Sounds great! I will be putting this on my want list.
Thanks for answering my question @corey congilio about front of amp vs effects loop. I actually prefer front of amp too, but so many people talk about effects loops that I was wondering if I was missing out on something. But if you and 90% of Nashville is doing front of amp too, I think I’m in good company. Plus I’ve actually AB’d it blindly, and prefer front of amp (sonically)
I've been using the Hudson Broadcast since it's release.
No plans of replacing it.
I mentioned in an email to Mythos that I'm using the Mjolnir for my hollow body which only has a neck pickup. Anytime I have an organ trio hit, that pedal is always on. I liken it to a bluesy Kenny Burrell or Grant Green tone.
It sounds good, but I still think the Xotic BB plus dual overdrive is the best!
Great job guys!
It figures that I finally finally bought myself a Catallinbread Naga Vioer treble booster and then these guys bring out a super ultra overdrive giant pedal deluxe with tube screamer in the design. Maybe even with a silicon transistor making it play better with buffers.😊
Love this! It seems, that I hear the guitar acoustically through the microphone… right? That adds a lot of hi-end :)
Looks interesting. Even the most "transparent" pedal will change tone a little bit. If you have a pedal that sounds like you turned your amp up, you probably notice a little bump in bass right? Its not bad its just a change in tone
The only dirt pedal I have is a king of tone that I use live when I record I just use my amps
Got a Kernom Ridge and im done with overdrives!Now i need a MIDI switcher!!!
Gonna say it. All od pedals sound the same to me.
Put an od, a fuzz and a distortion pedal on your board, you're sorted.
Or just a Rat, it'll do all 3.
How about three Rats with three different settings?
@@BrianLeverett I like the way you think 🤔😄
Ill be done when i get the Hipower
I'm done; the pedals that I do have work fine with me. It seems that everytime someone comes out with something, I go back and find no difference with what I already own.
Done buying. Sure - until the next latest and greatest pedal comes along...
Love this pedal. Thank you both. Great info too.
The color is super cool. My simple view on this is its a fancy BD2 and an SD1 in one pedal. How might this give me something more than my current OD setup.... BD2 first with gain almost noon for a flat EQ modest gain drive pedal, followed by an SD1 with low gain, higher level for a mid pushed lead pedal? Either can be used alone or in combo.
I bet this will propel Zack a far way. Congrats, to a kind appearing person.
Cory excellent! Going to buy this
So he built a Fulltone Fulldrive, got it.
No. Fulldrive is a boost and a tubescreamer. This is a bluesbreaker and tubescreamer.
Did they not say there was a treble booster in the circuit?
It’s all great, but I would have liked to hear some other guitars.
Sounds so fantastic!!
Effects loops are essential in the 21st century, start covering your pedals in gingham if you're all about the old skool.
Awesome pedal. Awesome playing
Corey...!!...haa...shuld have asked me..!!...i stopped buying them ages ago.....and don't have many......straight in....marshall settings and some reverb...i'm good to go.....and no...not everything on 10......but i could if i want to...
Sold!
Would love the answer but can’t spend an hour getting to it
Sounds nice, but aren’t there already a zillion pedals doing the exact same thing…? One thing is for sure: Corey makes EVERYTHING sound great! Always a pleasure to hear you play, man 👍
Not that I've found!
Awesome content as always - a question (for anyone really).
I've never got on with the gain of a Klone (I have a tumnus I use just for boost /EQ). It always just sounds raspy when using the gain. Am I right in thinking the Mjolnir has a more saturated gain?
Hey Corey. Which overdrive pedal was the last you bought with your own money?
Oh man, lots. Blues Driver, Chroma Console, Beano Boost, R2R Treble Boost, Old Ibanez DML10. I know there's more, I just can't remember them all! Oh, POD Express, Boss IR2 and Two Notes Opus Pro in the past year. I have a problem!
@@coreycongilio hahaha. We all have that same problem I guess. lol
Hey Corey! Great video man! Curious what pickups you have in your 335? Lovely open sound to them for humbuckers!
Thx Nathan! They’re the originals from 1967
@@coreycongilio ahh haha!! That makes a lot of sense. They sound incredible
right. sure. the search is over. i get it. not gamechanger but ender this time. that harley benton ocd clone has a lot of clarity too dialed back, with a midrangey snarl i really like. goes well with my jam pedals.
question:
why does zach use the greek mythology namespace so heavily?
(not going for that ethnic cultural appropriation thing or howeverthatscalled, we got our own pedalcompanies ruling the world), whats the story? family? an island holiday drunk on ouso sparking the prdalcompany?
The best one for myself ever, Seymour Duncan 805
I purchased one, returned it 45 minutes later
Why?
@@MaximilianMengwasser i purchased it from empire guitar brand new in Providence Rhode Island about a month ago. I used it for about an hour. I really did not care for the tone I was getting out of it. Sterile sounding. A sterilized sound is how I can explain it. I had the Amplified Nation Big Bloom pedal. It sounded great. Great tones from it. But this pedal. I did not like the sound of it. I would still recommend the pedal for anyone to play it. It just was not for me.
Digging!
Cory sells out! 😎😎😎😎 Seriously, not a pedal guy.
Big pedal guy and Zach finally made what I wanted!
I love Josh, but I think the switching order credit is due to Mr. Brian Wampler!
nope, Xotic did it first with the BB plus
I’m a fucking done too, bought a Line 6 POD Go and will never ever go back to pedals.
A pedal demo that uses an expensive amp is really quite pointless. I don't know too many weekend warriors who gig with a Marshall Plexi or any of the other high dollar amps I see in this video.
Most weekend warriors and bedroom rock starts are using modeling amps these days. Just a suggestion.
Cool thing. How would this sound with a Strat?
My Strat and silver sky are the guitars that sound the best with this… for me. Especially into my black panel fender style amp. I didn’t like it into my tweed amps…
And then I'll be happy...
What were you playing into for amp?
Sounds great!
Two Rock TS 1. Thanks, it's fantastic
@@coreycongilio I was a black Creek guitars from 06-10 and then Watchtower Guitars for about a year then Covid hit. I did sales and repairs. I sold a lot of them and for one, Bill K is a great guy and a genius and Joe M was really cool. The amps speak for themselves. My number one was the Kimock. Sid McGuiness bought an old showman modded that he runs upside down. That amp was a one off masterpiece and he was an incredible player and cool as hell. I love your playing and your channel. Thank you
I'm Done Buying Overdrive Pedals...because of a new pedal hahaha
Just like John Cordy. Every thing he tests is the best and last he’s buying. Until the next day.
Love both you guys and you’re content and thought the pedal tones were really good - BUT, like the comment you highlighted in the beginning of the chat, the thumb nail is click bait-ish and something you two well respected RUclipsrs should avoid. Even if you just put the word “may” in the title, IMO that would largely cure it. I am currently using the Cornerstone Imperium dual drive as my main foundational overdrive after a lot of swapping and always have a few others on the board to try and best fit the situation.
Thanks for that! How is it click bait if it's true? He made what I always wanted! Wouldn't click bait be something more like...watch me throw this guitar off the empire state building and not do it! I've bought hundreds of OD pedals in my life in Zach delivered on this so, I'm done for the foreseeable future! Appreciate ya, Adam!
Maybe it's the recording quality but that doesn't sound good tbh. To much low end muffle
Yeah it’s the stream audio unfortunately
Nobody talks about gain-structure. That pedal sounds too farty... Seems like all pedals gain-structures are either: farty, fizzy or buzzy. I can't stand farty or buzzy, so I have to settle for the fizzy sounding ones in the middle.
Depends on your setup, just like everything, but I've never experienced it being overtly "farty" at least how I define that tone word
Precise descriptors. Good illustration of how to say nothing.
lol dude are you trolling ? Those are descriptions for like gated fuzz pedals.
@@micktheman6 I'm not trolling, just because your ears aren't good enough to hear it doesn't mean it's not true. The low notes sound farty, like a speaker distorting because it can't handle the low notes. That's the most horrible sound to play on if you're trying to shred on the low strings or strum chord with overdrive, because the notes don't individuate. There is a literal audible STRUCTURE to the gain.
@@MythosPedals it doesn't have anything to do with someone setup, it's the gain structure itself.
last overdrive....
I know it. You know it. So who we BS-ing? We're NEVER done! 😂
Did you get a Cusack Screamer Fuzz?!?…. oh… 🤣
I had one!
So good!!!
@@kevinarbogast9309 Fuzz and OD at the same time is the best. Still searching for the best option.
O.k. no more pedal demos now.
I actually don't love doing demos which is why the livestreams are fun. Taking questions and helping people understand the gear is way more fun!
For now.....
You are never done buying overdrive pedals until you bought a Casanoverdrive.
Never tried it!
Not really impressed by what I'm hearing ...
Just plug your guitar into a hole and play the hell out of it.
How much can you deal with this or that pedal and all the crap inside each pedal?
half the people today are spending 50% of their time buying and selling gear instead of putting this time into improving their playing skills.
Remember this, the best music ever was made in the past when RUclips and all these "gear" companies were not even a thought.
"I'm Done Buying Overdrive Pedals..." Come on do me a favour. Treating us all like I don't even want to say what
Don't have to buy, the company's give them to you free.
I actually buy most all of my gear. Thx!
How many times can you reinvent the wheel. All these guitar players are doing is making these pedal company rich.
One word PROTEIN.AND DO YOURSELF A FAVOR CHECK OUT THE GEISHA BY WAY HUGE.BLOWS THIS BOX AWAY. AFTER THE LUXERY DRIVE I WONT SPEND AT MYTHOS....SORRY MYTHOS.
Why did you watch the video if you don't like their pedals?
Too much yapping.
It's an interview style stream so...there will be discussion
