Having been blessed to have recorded thru (2) genuine Dumbles once on a session. This Dude pedal, for a PEDAL Nails much of the 80's Dumble circuit sound. VERY CONVINCING.!!! Great demo Shawn.!!!! Peace.....
Thanks to you and Chris for doing great demos of this pedal. I own an original KLON and a few other so called DUMBLE PEDALS!! My Les Paul into a Fender Amp with this pedal finally sounds the way I hear it in my head. Great pedal. Diggin' it!
Here's the thing with this pedal. You know how most OD's have ONE sweet setting? This pedal has every setting that is sweet no matter how you dial it up. AMAZING!
I paused Pixels to watch this totally worth it. Haha! This thing sounds great and clean with good voicing options, especially for a low gain pedal. Probably your best song yet, man, with great Robben Ford-esque snap!
As always, you give the most comprehensive demo's. I really like the way you showcased various musical styles where this pedal can work. Dumble-esque flavored pedals do get pigeon holed and this pedal indeed can go more directions tonally. Lastly, everytime I watch you play, it makes me want to practice! If only I could add 10% of your skills ...I would be happy!!
Loved the bite it does everytime you pick the notes on a humbucker guitar. Seems to be that pedal that you can leave turned on all day long, and it will bright and hair up your signal chain, like EP booster, for example.
Very well done. I recently purchased The Dude and it is a great versatile pedal. I play Strats and an LP Traditional through a Fender Blues Jr III, or a Peavey Delta Blues 115 or a Peavey JSX 412 half stack. This pedal lets me play much cleaner while still getting the sustain and punch I'm looking for.
+MrLespaul2000 I did and apparently he refused. IF you happen to be at the NAMM show in LA that guitar is in the Rockett Pedals booth! He'll let you play it!
Um, dude. I need lessons on your scale choices because your improvisation is absolutely out of this world! I'm going to be watching your videos regardless of the product, just so I can try and steal some licks! Absolutely phenomenal man.
Step upwards it's 2017, Shawn the Gibson and PRS. I wish that they made as many left handed guitars as they did right handed. When you describe the pedals it helps place this info into perspective. The Dude pedal if this is a Dumble esk sound then Dumble Amps are truly the tone I have been looking for but we seem to be talking tens of thousands of dollars if you can get your hands on one. I love that PRS McCarty tight bottom end nice mids and light top end. And that Shur Amp and Divided by 13 Amp it reminds me of the late 70's amps. Big Ballsy and very tight AC/DC it has this tone not over the top but gain structure that is so sweet. Thanks for the demo and keep them coming.
Man Shawn, great video! Thanks for the extensive review. I've been looking for "The Tone" for playing with my strat. I think the Dude is the one. I've subscribed btw!
I just noticed a pair of 20/20's on Auralex pads...had to do a double take to make sure what I was listening was still sitting there! You don't look that old...LOL! Bought my 20/20's 23 years ago!
Oh man nice slide sound! Does the Lindley thing justice. That may have swayed me to buy this pedal. I hate picking just one "Dumble" pedal but they're kind of expensive. This one looks appealing because it apparently has the most gain on tap.
Shawn- don't know if you;re still responding to such an ancient demo but I'm giving it a shot. Just listened to your Archer IKON demo. I'm seriously torn between getting The Dude or the IKON. LP & Strat thru a DSL 40. No hard rock or Metal. Classic rock, I guess. Appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
+Shawn Tubbs I wish I had one locally to try out. Seems like an excellent pedal and would pair nicely with my Archer. Would you say this pedal compresses the attack transient a bit? Kind of hard to tell without playing one. I like how my Archer has a fast response. Something like a King of Tone has a similar thing in the compression vs like a Blues Driver or a Tube Screamer, which feels like it kind of compress that initial attack of the note to me.
I just bought one of these today, great review. I'm a LP guy mostly and have a few PRS guitars including a SC58.....but your MC58 😳 is absolutely beautiful. Is that a private stock version or standard?
I'm playing a PRS McCarty with 57/08 through a Fender Blues Jr or Hotrod DeVille. What settings help me have a good controlled distortion without too mud or to much harshness?
Steely Dan-esque, the playing AND the tone, but with a name like 'The Dude', should I feel a bit of uneasiness hearing a bit of the Eagles in there, too?
Nice, sounds great, nice video edits and great playing as usual! mind if I ask if you tried the pedal Into the suhr badger? I'm just wondering does the pedal work with a more British sounding amp.
+JJ JJ Hi there thanks! I actually do play without a pick a bit. Check our the XTS Winford, Visual Sound VS-XO and Visual Sound Jekyll and Hyde demo songs!
+McSoappy Yeah that's not my Les Paul. It belongs to Chris Van Tassel of Rockett Pedals. It's got Lollar Low wind Imperials in it that sound pretty nice. I've had that D13 FTR 37 for a long time now. It's one of the best amps I own.
How different is it to the the Blue Note and would they work well together if I use the Blue Note as a clean boost and the Dude for some gain? I'm looking for low volume bluesy type tube amp break up (from my very clean Trace Velocette).
The Blue Note has a lot less gain and sounds really open. The Dude has quite a bit more gain and has a bit more natural compression. The two pedals would pair nicely together.
@@ShawnTubbs Thank you. I'm not sure I need that much gain so I'm thinking the Lenny as a clean boost into the Blue Note. Thanks again, I love your videos.
+thearoom Hey there, thanks for the kind words. I have yet to do a pedal board demo but I will say that the Silver Archer, The Dude and XTS Winford are main stays on my boards.
+Shawn Tubbs I like the dude and i have a morning glory. I can never decide what to stack in to what so, i go back and forth, sometime the Glory isn't enough boost and gets lost with a full band but great with a 3 piece.., my other option is the oddfellow bishop. is that a good in-between pedal from the Glory and the dude, I like the tone of glory but want a little more umph. and the dude sounds best to me with the gain up but seam to saturated when turned up.... the bishop ?. is it worth the investment?? Is it very different from the two i have? Your view is greatly appreciated.
bitchen video brutha, nice TG2 pres ive got those . Im thinking of getting a nice overdrive pedal, How do you think this compares to the fulltone ocd or vodoo sparkle drive. thanks again peace
One man's demo, another man's worth of 6 months of lessons..., time to hit that half-speed button...
Hahaha...Thanks Gerry! I think I'm gonna start doing Skype coaching soon.
More like years for me. Yeah, he is an incredible player.
My two favourite players on RUclips Shawn and Pete Thorn these guys are ridiculously talented and inspiring guitarists
Thanks very much Tom!!
Shawn is a recent discovery for me. I can't stop watching and listening to such an awesome player.
I'm seriously addicted to this pedal,it's taken over my board and the tube screamers have fallen by the way side
Having been blessed to have recorded thru (2) genuine Dumbles once on a session. This Dude pedal, for a PEDAL Nails much of the 80's Dumble circuit sound. VERY CONVINCING.!!! Great demo Shawn.!!!! Peace.....
You are blessed indeed to have played and recorded the real deal!!! Thanks Vic!
Thanks to you and Chris for doing great demos of this pedal. I own an original KLON and a few other so called DUMBLE PEDALS!! My Les Paul into a Fender Amp with this pedal finally sounds the way I hear it in my head. Great pedal. Diggin' it!
Here's the thing with this pedal. You know how most OD's have ONE sweet setting? This pedal has every setting that is sweet no matter how you dial it up. AMAZING!
always great and honest demo's love the way you tune the pedal to any style
+prsfrank Thanks so much!
Simply great tone and super playing!
Man you rip it. Thanks for all of your hard work and great demos
“Dude” ... you are sooooooo good. Great vids!
I paused Pixels to watch this totally worth it. Haha! This thing sounds great and clean with good voicing options, especially for a low gain pedal. Probably your best song yet, man, with great Robben Ford-esque snap!
+tonepoet Thanks so much! RF is the man!
Great demo and DAYMN! you have some serious chops
pretty sure i'm going to buy this one. From what I've heard it sound like one of the best overdrive pedals. especially at low gain.
Yeah I think it's a keeper! Glad you dig it!
Great, Great Demo! You really know what guitarists want to hear. Thanks!
You nailed it again!
I just discovered your review, but I like how you explain the controls. It sounds like you actually know a little bit of what you're talking about!
;) thanks very much!
That PRS might just be the most beautiful guitar I think I've ever seen.
Great job ,wicked tone and fantastic playing :)
Very nice guitar, great playing and great tone. I need this pedal.
As always, you give the most comprehensive demo's. I really like the way you showcased various musical styles where this pedal can work. Dumble-esque flavored pedals do get pigeon holed and this pedal indeed can go more directions tonally. Lastly, everytime I watch you play, it makes me want to practice!

You are the man Shawn, these demos are astounding..

Killer playing and tone, Shawn. Color me a fan sir. Gotta get me a Dude. What a second....
Truly the best FEELING pedal I own!
Holy Duck awesome playing & tone
Stellar chart at the start. Fantastic playing.
That prs is amazingly nice
Dude with the les paul you EXACTLY sounded like Robben Ford. Apart from time it was also the style ofc, but I tell you SPOT ON
Jesus that Les Paul sounds awesome! nice playing as always Mr. Tubbs
+MrLespaul2000 Thanks man! That Les Paul is actually owned by a friend of mine. It's a killer R9.
I think you should make him an offer he can't refuse Shawn
Offer
+MrLespaul2000 I did and apparently he refused. IF you happen to be at the NAMM show in LA that guitar is in the Rockett Pedals booth! He'll let you play it!
+Shawn Tubbs I'd love to go there sadly I'm a little bit too far away ....UK
Man !
You sir is such a badass!
Great demo and pedal! :)
+Crippe Johansson Thanks very much!
I've had mine for s couple weeks. Killer pedal. Great video as always Shawn.
Um, dude. I need lessons on your scale choices because your improvisation is absolutely out of this world! I'm going to be watching your videos regardless of the product, just so I can try and steal some licks! Absolutely phenomenal man.
Thanks so much man!
Great job on that Shawn. Love your vids man. SOLD!

Thanks so much and thanks for tuning in!
"It's feeling really Chewy"... agreed.
Amazing playing skills😍😍😍😍😍
Man I adore the intro groove for this video man!!! I WISH I could play like that :)
Really digging your demos and playing man! Tasty like a coke and BBQ wings!!!
+Camilo Velandia Thanks very much Camilo! I appreciate it!
Thanks Shawn, it was a very good review of the pedal.
I really enjoyed your playing! Very inspiring.
+Rich Kearns Thanks so much!
Wish I still had my Duesy...
Oh, and some really cool video edits there Shawn!
+Realfi Well if it makes you feel any better...That doozy isn't mine...I miss mine too.
+Shawn Tubbs :-(
Very robben fordesque playing - lovely
+Alex Fixsen Thanks Alex!
Man Shawn, great video! Thanks for the extensive review. I've been looking for "The Tone" for playing with my strat. I think the Dude is the one. I've subscribed btw!
Thanks so much for watching and for subscribing!!
damn. solid playing again!
Such nice playing on this demo... man.
Man, if that Ratio could be controlled with an expression pedal it would be killer!
That intro tune was killer!
Thanks so much!!! I appreciate it.
excellent demo
+M jones Thanks so much!
i took the bait and bought in 2020. killer tone bros
I just noticed a pair of 20/20's on Auralex pads...had to do a double take to make sure what I was listening was still sitting there! You don't look that old...LOL! Bought my 20/20's 23 years ago!
My brother gave me those 20/20's a little over 20 years ago. Great sounding monitors! I've only just replaced them with a set of KRK's.
Great demo...ordered the Dude today!
Awesome!!! Thanks!
Oh man nice slide sound! Does the Lindley thing justice. That may have swayed me to buy this pedal. I hate picking just one "Dumble" pedal but they're kind of expensive. This one looks appealing because it apparently has the most gain on tap.
Yeah I prefer this one over the rest. Thanks Jasper.
Awesome playing and tone Shawn, just found you out yestersay!
Glad I found your channel, excellent review!
Thanks so much!
Great playing ! Gonna have to steal some licks
Thanks man!
So good! You've been missed!
nice groove. hairs looking good bro!
+dre brose can u do a studio tour soon?
That lick at 1:38 gets me every time. I need to transcribe that one.
+After Osmosis - sounds like a Drew Zingg lick, really cool.
+After Osmosis Yes ,please do.
I like the half bend on the rest
Melodic minor.
What a great lesson. Thanks man.
+Stan Lindert Nice when you can get something out of a demo.
A Doozy through a Dude - its what guitars are supposed to do, "Chewy" is a great description
Awesome tone, dude! ;)
Thanks man!
Holy playing, Batman!
Very tasty playing!
Thanks very much!
This guy would make a $50 OD pedal sound awesome! Cool pedal though
Shawn- don't know if you;re still responding to such an ancient demo but I'm giving it a shot.
Just listened to your Archer IKON demo.
I'm seriously torn between getting The Dude or the IKON.
LP & Strat thru a DSL 40. No hard rock or Metal. Classic rock, I guess.
Appreciate your feedback.
Thank you.
If I could only choose one between the IKON and the DUDE, I'd go with the IKON.
@@ShawnTubbs Much obliged Shawn. Thank you.
/*sigh* /You did it again, Shawn.... i'm gonna buy another Rockett pedal. My savings account hates you!
Hahaha that's funny, his burst of notes made me blue cause I can play that good. I believe some jello will cheer me up. GOD bless.
Love it!!
good demo and explanation
Thanks very much!
Great guitar player!!!
playing is so incredibly tasty! Makes me wonder how in the world this video has thumbs downs...
you are the best
Try the Archer into the Dude yet? Great demo and fabulous playing as always. Was waiting for this one
+Jake Stewart Music Haven't tried it yet. I would think it would be pretty killer.
+Shawn Tubbs I wish I had one locally to try out. Seems like an excellent pedal and would pair nicely with my Archer. Would you say this pedal compresses the attack transient a bit? Kind of hard to tell without playing one. I like how my Archer has a fast response. Something like a King of Tone has a similar thing in the compression vs like a Blues Driver or a Tube Screamer, which feels like it kind of compress that initial attack of the note to me.
+Jake Stewart Music Yeah this pedal won't be as immediate as the Archer but its not overly compressed feeling.
+Shawn Tubbs Cool, definitely sounds like it's worth checking out. Thanks man
Oh look at the dusenberg man how iv listed after those guitars for yrs
Hi Shawn, I just got one and I’m wondering how would you use it, in front of a Pettyjohn Chime or after it and why. Thanks buddy, loving your videos!
Nice demo Shawn. We're fb friends. I'm incognito.
Haha. Right on.
right on man. !
pure groove
Really comprehensive, well done video. Killer pedal except for the black on black knobs...not real stage friendly. Just a little swaperoo...
Yeah for sure. Blood red knobs would be cool. Thanks Bobby!
I just bought one of these today, great review. I'm a LP guy mostly and have a few PRS guitars including a SC58.....but your MC58 😳 is absolutely beautiful. Is that a private stock version or standard?
Oh my goodness... Do you have any music for sale for download? Your playing is flat-out amazing.
I'm playing a PRS McCarty with 57/08 through a Fender Blues Jr or Hotrod DeVille. What settings help me have a good controlled distortion without too mud or to much harshness?
I have mine!
Yes , yes , yes ,yes.....ect...
I can't pass this up. DUDE!!!
Hey Shawn! Don't mean to be a huge nerd here but what is that exotic scale you play at the beginning? Great vids by the way
Hey Brandon thanks very much man. That tonality is based on a G7b5add13 chord. That's all I know man....;)
Shawn Tubbs sick man thanks!
Just wondering how would it siund if anTS9 pushes it. Awesome playing man!
Thanks very much man. I would think a TS9 dialed with lower gain would work well in front.
Steely Dan-esque, the playing AND the tone, but with a name like 'The Dude', should I feel a bit of uneasiness hearing a bit of the Eagles in there, too?
Monster player.
i stole your robben ford diminished licks, very good stuff thanks !
Thanks Stephen!
Nice, sounds great, nice video edits and great playing as usual!
mind if I ask if you tried the pedal
Into the suhr badger? I'm just wondering does the pedal work with a more British sounding amp.
+Tadhg McDonnell-leahy I haven't cranked it though my Badger yet. I'm sure it will sound great.
Nice playing man and great tone.
Do you ever play without a pick?
+JJ JJ Hi there thanks! I actually do play without a pick a bit. Check our the XTS Winford, Visual Sound VS-XO and Visual Sound Jekyll and Hyde demo songs!
That Les Paul tone with the gain up is amazing man! What is the model of the /13 you're playing?
+McSoappy Yeah that's not my Les Paul. It belongs to Chris Van Tassel of Rockett Pedals. It's got Lollar Low wind Imperials in it that sound pretty nice. I've had that D13 FTR 37 for a long time now. It's one of the best amps I own.

@@ShawnTubbs Thank you. I'm not sure I need that much gain so I'm thinking the Lenny as a clean boost into the Blue Note. Thanks again, I love your videos.
Very tasteful soloing. Is the backing track something you put together or is it a downloadable jam track?
Thanks man! The back track is mine:)
Thanks man! The backing track is mine.
Great stuff. I have the pedal. Wondering what you actually use, how you pedal board is set up. Any videos on that???
+thearoom Hey there, thanks for the kind words. I have yet to do a pedal board demo but I will say that the Silver Archer, The Dude and XTS Winford are main stays on my boards.

chops chops
I like that technique.. Robin who? i need to do some research on him
Robben Ford is a killer player!
