I have a boutique pedal maker 2 houses down from me...gives a new meaning to try before you buy. Nice option to pick, choose and find a tone that "I" want. So far it's a clone Klon that has wowed me all for 150 big ones.
you can tell what a pedal sounds like from the color. I always check to make sure I don't already have one of those before I buy. then I ask myself if I really need a pedal that costs more than the entire arsenal of guitars and amps (well, actually one of each) I started out with in 1967. but if the pedal has a cool color and a cool name, then the answer is usually yes, I absolutely NEED that!
What it looks like is important, how it sounds is even more important, but the names of some of these pedals are really cool. That's why I bought the Monsterpiece Stud!
I bought "The Very Thing" pedal from Snake Oil Instruments straight up due to the appearance. The fact that it turned out to be a great sounding pedal is kind of a bonus.
Beetronics makes some aesthetically interesting pedals that definitely help define the brand. Even the circuit boards inside are all different looking with unique shapes and colors that go along with the theme of each pedal enclosure. I agree with the shout out to Way Huge, as I still use their discontinued Pork Loin for a boost.
“You pedal people” - I love how my background and experience level is polar opposite to Baxter but we have the same views on pedals. “They’re like M&Ms! They’re cool to look at and pour over, but I don’t actually use them! I just like looking at the cool designs in the case!” I think another important thing to take into consideration is ease of use/complexity. Sometimes you might want only one or two knobs and you don’t have the patience to play around with infinite dials and settings. Sometimes you might know exactly what you want and you need all of those switches and options to dial it in. As far as pedals that look the coolest, I think the Seamoon Funk Machine looks amazing. I don’t know if it’s a particularly good or useful envelope filter, but it sure looks cool!!
Yeah... I stopped it right away and tried to figure out what was wrong with my computer, instead of just waiting for the rest of the video like a normal person. Probably need more coffee to unfog my brain.
The biggest difference in my opinion especially when talking overdrive and the like is how the stack and or interact with the other pedals on your chain..and the FEEL😊
I definitely buy based on looks, but I also love designs that aren’t traditionally beautiful, e.g. Fairfield’s clearly hand-stamped pedals. Possibly 1/2 of my boutique pedals are a special run color. I’m currently making a pink pedalboard. It started when I got a Blammo FX Goodbye Kitty (with the *amazing* bunghole placement of the status light).
Part of how I pick a pedal is how I’d pick a certain color of crayon as a kid. I grab or purchase a certain pedal for its sound and features and how it works for the songs I’ll be playing that gig or that church service. Being a graphic designer, I also enjoy limited edition pedals from an artistic standpoint, but that is secondary to the sound and features.
Speaking of looks v. sound; I *always* check out the back wall in your uploads. The Tele trio here immediately got me! Never fail to get the "I WANT!!" reaction. 😸
1. Price. 2. Sound (what it does). 3. My needs. 4. Functionality (top mount jacks, size, etc). Usually I wait for sales, buy 2nd hand or when eBay gives me a big discount. I haven't bought off Reverb yet. I have everything I need atm, but I recently bought an ehx Epitome and synth9 ( both 2nd hand for 25% of a new one) from a rental company that sells their "ex-rentals" as I couldn't pass up the deals.
I'm in the process of building a 5-pedal board after going through a number of cheap single & multi-effect pedals. I am also a bit of a minimalist/home use only - so small boards. axe-tuner-ME Architect-OD1-GE7-Reverb(?)-Moorer ab/y-amp (cheap 5W tube) Reverbs - too many choices but a small footprint is key on a 20" board!...probably going with JHS' 3 series, but looking at Oceans 11, HoF, RV-3
I have one Boss pedal, one Fender pedal, one TC Electronics one and four Way Huge pedals. I start looking for a particular type of pedal and look at lots of product reviews. I tend to like things that do more than one thing, or that can be used in different ways.
That was so funny what you said about detention being "We're gonna keep him". At my school, you could go in and sit detention even if you weren't assigned it, to gain detention credit. Then next time you were bad, you didn't have to serve detention time. Kids would go in and do their homework and get detention credit.
As a hobbyists, I will buy the type of pedal based on the application. I.e. this song needs delay... well i'll go buy a delay pedal. Which delay pedal i buy is based on how it alters my tone , if i set the pedal's levels to their lowest settings and just use volume/drive if there is one... i will a/b select between on/off to hear if it adds, takes away, or keeps the same. Ive noticed a "good" reverb pedal (gamechanger, death by audio, etc. Etc.) Will keep the original character of my rig, and adds the effect. A "bad" pedal tends to make my amp sound thin and cheap, and then adds the effect. I feel like a lot of people buy based on how many different sounds/effects they get from the pedal, versus how its affecting their tone... or like you said, how it looks.
Former teacher here...there are rules upon laws upon regulations upon codes. Schools are VERY limited in what we can say or do. Call your state rep if you want change. Love what y'all do!
I buy pedals based on the sound I want and the price I want to pay, with a bit of guidance from reviews. The graphics don't matter much. Aesthetics is only important when shopping for guitars 😀
I still use a Boss DD5 delay....... it simply works. I have a Boss compression pedal, CS3 I think? I also have a Dunlop Crybaby and a Wampler Tumnus Deluxe. I do not use pedals often, more like Baxter as I prefer to plug straight in to the amp. The Wampler Clon clone is real good though, I quite enjoy it.
7:37 Lol I love the sound of the Small Stone and Small Clone. I have a Small Clone and suffered through the signal-suck for ages until my friend got me a Caline Lucky 7 pedal (we like finding these hidden gems in the budget pedal world and then blowing each other’s minds) with a bunch of mod fx and it is so good it’s stupid. A few of the modes are utterly useless but the 4 or 5 that don’t suck are the best versions of those sounds I’ve found. I keep trying to replace that pedal for different applications (tremolo, vibe, etc) but it just sounds so good. And doesn’t suck tone. You’d think that a cheap pedal with cheap components (yes, the switches, jacks and pots are almost always garbage on budget pedals) would suck tone but nothing compares to the Small Stone and Small Clone in that respect 😅!
I go down the rabbit hole of “this person uses that pedal, so I need it too”. Like, I already have a big muff, do I need the J mascis one that is a part for part recreation of his? No, but it still haunts my dreams 🤟😎
I watch Tim Pierce...if he tells me to buy a pedal....i buy that pedal..he recommended the new boss compressor pedal.. A game changer.he recommend the nobel odr -1 Overdrive pedal...the one all session men use... He recommended the boss equalizer pedal..another game changer... He also recommended the MXR fat sugar pedal that Imitates a klon..... And how to stack it with the nobel and a boss blues driver. I learn the most from the pros I also watch the JHS pedal guy... If tim uses it...i use it... When it comes to different Pedals like tremolo or digital delay..i watch numerous reviews
I love the randomness of this show, like just out of absolutely nowhere Baxter starts talking about his bedroom antics lol. FYI the clown suit sounds like a good idea but trust me, those big shoes get in the way more than you think... go Pantomime instead, you still get to paint you face and its way more dramatic when someone screams.
As a retired school custodial engineer, let me tell you that we used to love when an administrator would try to use custodial work as punishment. "See what you can be if you don't behave?" Then the job would take longer than if we were left alone to do it. Also, nowhere in our job description did it say 'Supervise misbehaving kids".
Idk what Bukovac vid you watched. Cause the one I watched Uncle Larry was pretty damn good at picking out exactly what the pedals were. And his favorite was of course the ODR1 most similar to his.
I love pedals but I don't assign magic properties to them.. they are more like colors on a pallet. So many are a variant of the same hue and that's cool. The mxr distortion + is a variant of the dod 250, or the other way around. My favorite type are the amp in a box style. I have a few of the fender deluxe styles, brown face, tweed, black face. I don't think that they turn my ac15 into the real sound but they capture a sound for sure. BTW I don't care about colors or shapes just sounds. Keep up the good work.
I showed up for practice with a cool red Over Drive and my drummer said BIG DEAL! you're just going to mess with the knobs until it sounds like the purple one. Everyone laughed and they were right. It kind of ended my ped acquisition madness phase. I have some cool ones, but most of them forgetful.
I remember back in the 80' and 90's you could just look at a pedal and know what it did. Not so much anymore with all the weird names theyre called these days. Ive never been big on pedals. A wah, distortion, and maybe a delay or chorus pedal and that was it. Only use one or two now
So here is a Question for our guitar Guru's, Would you Rather Pay to get Neck and Frets Plek'd or Serviced by hand? I am thinking Grim Reaper Telecaster Plek'd so it is Perfect
I think the best point made was, so many pedals are so similar. If you know what you want, you can do whatever you want. How many Klon clones are out there? Just get the one that you think is cool...
If one is talking about overdrives, yes, they are remarkably similar. If you’re talking about modulation and time based effects, there is much more differentiation and variety. ✌️😌🎸
I didn't on purposely buy nice looking pedals. But my board starts out with a Dime wah. Only because back in the day I only read magazines, didn't do internet. Read about features of Dime wah and decided right there that's what I want. 2003-4 whenever that was released to public. Still not very good wah player but it's the 1st on my board. When looking for a EQ pedal knew I wanted a MXR 10 band. Found a used silent modded KFK for $100. Now I know none of K King's music but at the end of my board is another looking cool pedal. Got a couple Boss pedals but not for color. Both blue, both modded, both bought used. Got other pedals but again not for colors. Most my modded pedals have different colors lights and that's definitely something I look for. In fact got a Coolmusic modulation pedal that has 3-4 sounds I use and it lights up the coolest green. That makes it worth not looking for more better multi mod type pedal. Plus it's small real estate. That's actually my biggest issue with any pedal. How much R Estate vs use. I bought all kinds of modded Boss pedals and could have a super sharp color board but wouldn't have the best sound I can or wouldn't have as much space as having 4 mini's to give me toe-tapping room. I know Boss pedals are easy to toe tap though. And I love the phaser green. But pedal sucks compared to my Mooer liquid phase, a mini.
Well, I have always wanted to fart in Japanese. The "Fart" pedal and the Korg "Miku" is my ultimate dream pedalboard. I just can't seem to find a RUclipsr willing to demo this. JHS has both in his collection, but ignored my request. So then I thought R.J. would hook it up, but nooooo. I guess they don't Fart in Nashville. 😂
Okay guys, you've done guitars, amps and pedals - how about "How do you choose your pick/plectrum?" From Brian May and his filed down sixpence coin to ultra floppy Jim Dunlop nylon super lights and everything in between? Just a thought :) I mean, I've ended up using a cut up credit card to create picks in the past and I know I'm not the only one lol.
I think more companies are starting to look at pedals as pieces of art, which is great because you want your gear to look cool. Number 1 is that you want your guitar to look cool. Everything else should follow.
Functionality is important. I'm always thinking about how the live performance will go. So, for instance, a chorus pedal like the emperor from JHS does not appeal to me because it has tap tempo. I like single switches on chorus pedals. When it comes to delay, it's all about the presets and how to access them especially if I'm not using MIDI. Drives seem to be the one area where the sound is all that matters.
@@216trixie yes… it’s a video about petals, when your tuner is on, no sound comes out. I cant be the only one who has even started a gig and realized you left your tuner on. Lol
I think a lot of people don’t care about aesthetics. Otherwise how do you explain Boss? I’ve got four on my board, ugly hunks of metal, but sound cool. Also, Strymons don’t really look that special.
Not a pedalist. Got an amp with onboard effects a couple years ago and it does all I need just plugging straight into one box. I'm old and love the new freedom of having one cord and no mess on the floor. Turn it on and go. Still use a Tube Works Tube Driver (almost always on, I just change the mix ratio) and a DOD FX-90 Analog Delay with my older traditional amps like Vox.
i must be weird because i am very particular about how my pedals sound. looks are probably tertiary. but i mostly play post-punk/shoegaze/post-rock kinda stuff (very very poorly)
JHS has a line of less expensive pedals. Most are close to $100 & the enclosures are all white. Kind of generic, but you can put yr. own graphics on them, cool.
Sure a cool looking pedal will catch my eye, but I wouldn’t buy it just because it looks cool I’ll look at what it does, and I know which pedals I am looking for I don’t like the look of every pedal I own, but I like the sound of them.
I'm really dumb, so I like pedals and amps with as few knobs as possible. If there's too many controls I just find a million ways to make everything sound worse.

I watch that pedal show. Mick is super good about trying to get the sound through as pure as possible to us to make the best decisions possible.
Their videos on gain pedals and stacking them helped me figure out how to get closer to a perfect tone.
I have a boutique pedal maker 2 houses down from me...gives a new meaning to try before you buy. Nice option to pick, choose and find a tone that "I" want. So far it's a clone Klon that has wowed me all for 150 big ones.
I thought Baxter was going to say "pedal-phile"😅
That'd be a great t-shirt..lol..
😂😅😊😮😢😂😂😂
That’s so wrong. But so, so right😂😂😂
Great video guys, now I'm going to go and play my ugly blond butterscotch thing.
I love how bright green has become universal code for “Vintage Overdrive”. 😂 makes it easy to collect Green OD pedals. 💚

Tower computers are still in! No matter what they do, a laptop will never be as powerful as a desktop. Seasoned computer builder, here.😊
We had more fun in detention than any other part of the day.
I bought "The Very Thing" pedal from Snake Oil Instruments straight up due to the appearance. The fact that it turned out to be a great sounding pedal is kind of a bonus.

I love Beetronics’s special runs! The variety can be paralyzing, though.
I do love pedals with fun designs. The Bee-Tronics ones are badass!
same thoughts here. Beetronics are, essentially, the Salvador Dali of pedal aesthetic. Old Blood Noise also!
I like to use the one on the right...what's it called, the gas pedal?
“You pedal people” - I love how my background and experience level is polar opposite to Baxter but we have the same views on pedals. “They’re like M&Ms! They’re cool to look at and pour over, but I don’t actually use them! I just like looking at the cool designs in the case!”

As far as pedals that look the coolest, I think the Seamoon Funk Machine looks amazing. I don’t know if it’s a particularly good or useful envelope filter, but it sure looks cool!!
Were you using a volume pedal at the intro?
Tuner was on.
Weird.... No sound first ten seconds or so...
Yeah... I stopped it right away and tried to figure out what was wrong with my computer, instead of just waiting for the rest of the video like a normal person. Probably need more coffee to unfog my brain.
Yeah! I was like “Did I forget to turn my car off before I went in the house!?” 😂
I heard something about pedals with ears at the end of the intro
I too choose pedals according to color. makes a better looking board.
The biggest difference in my opinion especially when talking overdrive and the like is how the stack and or interact with the other pedals on your chain..and the FEEL😊
Baxter: the twinkling evil grin face you made with "We're going to keep him!"

I buy pedals based on the sound I want and the price I want to pay, with a bit of guidance from reviews. The graphics don't matter much. Aesthetics is only important when shopping for guitars 😀
This is the way.
I still use a Boss DD5 delay....... it simply works. I have a Boss compression pedal, CS3 I think? I also have a Dunlop Crybaby and a Wampler Tumnus Deluxe. I do not use pedals often, more like Baxter as I prefer to plug straight in to the amp. The Wampler Clon clone is real good though, I quite enjoy it.
I think it was Paul Gilbert who mentioned pedalboard aesthetics. You can't have 5 different effects that are all blue pedals, it just isn't hip lol.
7:37 Lol I love the sound of the Small Stone and Small Clone. I have a Small Clone and suffered through the signal-suck for ages until my friend got me a Caline Lucky 7 pedal (we like finding these hidden gems in the budget pedal world and then blowing each other’s minds) with a bunch of mod fx and it is so good it’s stupid.

Overdrive pedal...the one all session men use...
He recommended the boss equalizer pedal..another game changer...
He also recommended the MXR fat sugar pedal that
Imitates a klon.....
And how to stack it with the nobel and a boss blues driver.
I learn the most from the pros
I also watch the JHS pedal guy...
If tim uses it...i use it...
When it comes to different
Pedals like tremolo or digital delay..i watch numerous reviews
I recently fell in love with the Stymon Decco. i took my Klone and carbon copy off my board and have just been using the decco + a tuner.
Usually I purchase something that does more than one thing. Versatility and “does Nels Cline use it,” both factor in.
I love the randomness of this show, like just out of absolutely nowhere Baxter starts talking about his bedroom antics lol. FYI the clown suit sounds like a good idea but trust me, those big shoes get in the way more than you think... go Pantomime instead, you still get to paint you face and its way more dramatic when someone screams.

I’m very selective about my pedal choices. It’s all based on the color scheme and knobs!
Pedals are on the bottom of my gear list. Once I found a great overdrive, an equaliser, a great delay and so on no need to change them.
So here is a Question for our guitar Guru's, Would you Rather Pay to get Neck and Frets Plek'd or Serviced by hand? I am thinking Grim Reaper Telecaster Plek'd so it is Perfect
A while back I was looking for a reasonably priced delay pedal and I ended up going with the MXR carbon copy because who doesn’t like green sparkle?
I think the best point made was, so many pedals are so similar. If you know what you want, you can do whatever you want. How many Klon clones are out there? Just get the one that you think is cool...
Looks are not a big deal. Except for my Wampler/Andy Wood Gearbox. Besides being awesome sounding, it looks really cool. So , there's that.
If one is talking about overdrives, yes, they are remarkably similar. If you’re talking about modulation and time based effects, there is much more differentiation and variety. ✌️😌🎸

Well, I have always wanted to fart in Japanese. The "Fart" pedal and the Korg "Miku" is my ultimate dream pedalboard. I just can't seem to find a RUclipsr willing to demo this.

What I really NEED to know is where did Jonathan get that shirt?
We got one for Sean too
I bought a little Nobel sight unseen because of uncle Larry. It’s great btw.
I luckily bought the huge Vox Tonelab SE and it caused me to stop looking for anything else.
Got a whole library of em on the computer. Pedals are almost a thing of the past. So are pickups cheap ones can play em all with the right software
Unless you wanna go play with other people.
I gig regularly. My pedalboard serves me well.
I could find a use for all pedals . Send what you can .!!!LOL.
I'm a collector of pedals, and I'm always looking for "that" tone, I wish I knew how to get it with the guitar I use, as I'm always changing my mind?
You cannot pick a pedal. A pedal must pick you.
I think more companies are starting to look at pedals as pieces of art, which is great because you want your gear to look cool. Number 1 is that you want your guitar to look cool. Everything else should follow.
Unfortunately I tend to go for what looks cool, and then check out the ones I like more in depth. So difficult to ignore the visuals.
I just watch Josh Scott / JHS Pedal Show, and/ or any other number of about a dozen or two pedal-influencer and review shows!
And I put my Tube Screamer (A mini but still) AFTER my Klon-variant. And the variant is only used for boost. But that's me?
I have 13 pedals on my board 8 of them are dirt pedals .. 1 is a tuner ..
My cars, guitars, and girls need to be easy on the eyes and limited edition with a COA! ✌️❤️🎸
Where do you find limited edition women with a COA? Asking for a friend
@@Big_Dumb_Animal I can't give away my secrets...
Color - same for guitar.. I usually notice the nice looking ones first until I try them,it may not always be good. Pex
Functionality is important. I'm always thinking about how the live performance will go. So, for instance, a chorus pedal like the emperor from JHS does not appeal to me because it has tap tempo. I like single switches on chorus pedals. When it comes to delay, it's all about the presets and how to access them especially if I'm not using MIDI. Drives seem to be the one area where the sound is all that matters.
I just use whatever Clapton's using.
I usually buy cheap pedals (less than $100 or so) but I occasionally splurge on a Catalinbread pedal.
I don't care about color per se. I do prefer different colors so I don't hit the wrong pedal.
You forgot to turn the tuner off for the intro… lol
The tuner?
@@216trixie yes… it’s a video about petals, when your tuner is on, no sound comes out. I cant be the only one who has even started a gig and realized you left your tuner on. Lol
@@hunterjarrett1953 Ha. Alright I get it. I was a little slow this morning.
“Imagine if all guitar pedals were just little gray boxes”
Ibanez tone lock pedal line enters the chat 😊
Those are awesome just plain gray
I think a lot of people don’t care about aesthetics. Otherwise how do you explain Boss? I’ve got four on my board, ugly hunks of metal, but sound cool. Also, Strymons don’t really look that special.
Not a pedalist. Got an amp with onboard effects a couple years ago and it does all I need just plugging straight into one box. I'm old and love the new freedom of having one cord and no mess on the floor. Turn it on and go. Still use a Tube Works Tube Driver (almost always on, I just change the mix ratio) and a DOD FX-90 Analog Delay with my older traditional amps like Vox.
I have 450 pedals in my pedalboard. It’s called an effects processor; it cost $150. Done ✅
I have come to hate pedals with tap tempo. Now if I see that as a feature, I disregard them... Just another thing to mess up...pez
i must be weird because i am very particular about how my pedals sound. looks are probably tertiary. but i mostly play post-punk/shoegaze/post-rock kinda stuff (very very poorly)
JHS has a line of less expensive pedals. Most are close to $100 & the enclosures are all white. Kind of generic, but you can put yr. own graphics on them, cool.
What pedals did Clapton use?
I don't care what a pedal looks like it's the way it sounds that makes me buy
Baxter thinks detention is prison training but I think school is prison training
I think the idea of the colors is to help a stage musician eyeball a pedal by color in a dark environment.
You just watch the RUclips influencers and buy what they say. I don’t know if I need a pedal board for my SD1?
I’m weird I guess 😮 I don’t have pedals I have a processor with it all included no pedals 😮
Johnathan was tone, Baxter looks
I try to get different brands of pedals
Flanger chorus pedals sounds the same your saying
Sure a cool looking pedal will catch my eye, but I wouldn’t buy it just because it looks cool
I’ll look at what it does, and I know which pedals I am looking for
I don’t like the look of every pedal I own, but I like the sound of them.
I'm really dumb, so I like pedals and amps with as few knobs as possible. If there's too many controls I just find a million ways to make everything sound worse.
School detention doesn't exist in many European Countries
Univibe Hendrix main pedal I guess you never heard of it
The meta is slider controls right now lol
