Andy is just such a class act! His talent as a SUPER versatile player, video producer, and knack for choosing just the right song to showcase what he’s demoing go without saying. Thanks for your years of service Andy. You have saved me much money by helping weed out things that aren’t for me. However you have convinced me to buy many things as well. The rate of unhappiness after purchasing is very low thanks to your videos though. I guess it has a lot to do with 1. You seem to like and play very much the same styles of music. 2. You use the same amp, or essentially the same as I do, which matters so much with pedals, And 3.You mix it up with guitar/ pup combinations, while sticking with just a few so everyone is used to their sound. That matters tons as well.
For years, my entire rig was this: '82 Fender '62RI Stratocaster--->1986 original small box RAT--->EHX Deluxe Memory Man--->Fender Deluxe Reverb II (the Rivera one with two channels). I've got loads more stuff now, but I've got that rig still and it's still pretty much perfect.
Of all the RUclipsrs who demo, Andy is the only one to really do Gilmour justice. Nothing against any of the others; they sound rad as well... but no one captures the feel and nuance of Dave like Andy.
The tone at 6:01 is a dead ringer for the tone in the original Pro Guitar Shops intro song. It's good to know what geat likely used for that song. Brings back great memories.
After years of falling in love with lots of different gear, it really is the stuff I got when I started that I have come back to appreciating the most. If I had only known. It’s been a fun journey though!Great video.
Fantastic sounds from that flanger and so tweakable! I’ve got a 90s DOD flanger that has some of those great sounds, but I haven’t seen one that offers as much as this one
I have a vintage flange pedal, also. Mine is a DeArmond Model 1900. Mine has a speed control, also, but is turned on by rolling the pedal all the way back to click into the auto mode. I got it for free, in the early ‘90s when we cleaned out someone’s basement & they told us we could have anything we found down there. 😁👍🏻 It’s basic but it does what I need. I don’t need all sorts of whacked-out sounds. I just use mine for coloring my riffs.
Favorite OD/Dirt hands down is the Smallsound/Bigsound Mini OD. Love the JFET distortion and with the huge range of the Gain and Bias knobs it organically does it all from clean boost, to raging fuzztortion, to splatty broken speaker tones. Get a good versatile gainy amp and its glorious
I've got the ADA flanger which I love wholeheartedly, and the morning glory is high up on my to-buy list. You've got great taste, dude. As far as effects that have shaped my playing, I've gotta give a shout out to EHX's Ring Thing. Such an amazingly usable ring mod, which also gives an excellent harmonic tremolo and other useful features.
As cool as it sounds,the size?..the weight is crazy too, it'll double the weight of your board, It was cool, I think u we're probably thinking pragmatically when u ditched it. I think Morley sort of lost momentum competing against crybaby's in the 70's, largely because of it's size and weight.
Some pretty cool composition here Andy. I'm not surprised by the BB being #1. My first dirt pedal was a brand spankin' new Guv'nor, and those 90s Marshall pedals really sound great. When the Rook came out, I retired it. And recently I bought a Tumnus to stack in front of my second Rook. That gives me more possibilities than a single gig can handle. Top 5 lists are tough. I need at least a time mod & pitch mod in the mix, plus clean delay, reverb & tremolo. Fortunately there are still some analog combo pedals for old farts like me who will never do full digital modeling rigs.
Not that anyone cares, but my top 5, in no order: - Boss FZ-2: just the most amazing, massive sounding fuzz ever. Was actually Andy that turned me on to it. I remember hearing the first notes he played with it and it just blowing my mind because it was everything I ever looked for in a fuzz. - Red Panda Tensor: one of those very rare pedals that's both completely crazy and completely usable. And you can do so many different mindbending things with it. I can't even explain it. You really have to sit down with it and start twiddling knobs to see how great it is. - Moog MF Chorus: a great chorus but so much more. Beautiful vintage chorus, beautiful slapback (that somehow sounds like it's in stereo coming out of one speaker? There's some voodoo going on there), expression-controlled vibrato, and once you start really turning the knobs, some complete noisy insanity that's insanely addictive. - Wampler Tumnus Deluxe: makes the Klon even better that it was before. Just beautiful, perfect overdrive. - Beetronics Swarm. Another insanity box. But oh so compelling. Completely crushed fuzz and 50s sci-fi Theremin. Oh yes. And my God, Beetronics pedals are beautiful to look at.
Among my favorites of all time remain two of the first pedals I ever bought back in the '70s: the MXR 6-Band EQ and the Univox Uni-Comp compressor. Unlike many other EQs that one was capable of being pushed into a nice overdrive. I was thrilled to locate one last year that someone had wisely installed a bypass switch on in place of the battery compartment. I've used, owned, helped design, and built many compressors over the years, but the Uni-Comp remains my favorite, precisely because it is not "transparent" at all, but is an audible "effect". The simplest bare-bones optical compressor you can imagine, it simply adores Telecaster bridge pickups. I fully accept the desire to have a compressor you can't really detect, until it's turned off. But sometimes you want to hear audible squish. I have a great many flangers as well, and have to put in a good word for the greatly overlooked Line 6 Tone Core Liqui-Flange, which was rocking envelope control, stepped sweep, and thru-zero in stereo a full decade before the EQD Pyramids. Finally, I am NEVER without an envelope-controlled filter (autowah). While perhaps not enough to rank it as my favorite of all time, I nonetheless retain a softspot for the MXR Envelope Filter, largely because of its variable Attack time, that allows the feel of the sweep to be aligned with the feel of the song. I certainly like the sound of the Mu-Tron III but find the sweep a bit too fast for many tunes.
I like what you've done here.. especially the fact that your choice for modulation is a good analog flanger. I think I'd put my original Paradox TZF in my top 5 as the source of modulation. Very, very cool video as usual
Morley also made a Pro Phaser with similar specs and controls to that flanger. I bought one because it was used all over Harmonium's L'Heptade and it turned out to be the best phaser I've ever owned. They are very underrated pedals. Go check out "Le premier ciel" by Harmonium if you want to hear what it's like
My personal favourite pedal would have to be the EHX P:itchfork paired with an EHX dual input expression pedal to turn it into a whammy pedal. Has completely opened up new ways of playing.
I sold my Bluesbreaker because their prices shot through the roof. Have the Snouse blackbox now. Excellent thing, and now I have *significantly* more room on my board.
Can someone please remind me what the first song andy plays in the video is? I know its a pink floyd track but I cant quite put my finger on which one it is
its a switch btwn positive or negative feedback. the Boss half rack RBF-10 has it (mn panasonic BBDs) as does the famous MXR126 (also Reticon like the Morley). to put it in words, positive always sounds classic space jet thing, and negative is swampy and throaty.
That Morley was pretty disappointing at first, bit as soon as that harmonic coloration kicks in, WOW! it's wild how vowel-like the phase sweep was. Almost like a talkbox.
I've got almost the same pedals) but they're much cheaper. Jimi Hendrix signture wah into Yerasov distortion into Boss bf-2 into Mxr Carbon Copy. Also, I've got Brhringer Vintage Distortion - a copy of Big Muff. Sometimes I run trough it)
Nice listening to a real PRO.. they make it sound easy, but even the experimentalist I am can appreciate the nuances of effects I live and breathe by. "Had to cry Today"? Yeah I know that feeling 🎃 Thanks Andy
I mean... I TRIED to sell my Morley Pro Flanger a few years ago for like $150, but when it got to the guy he said it was broken and accused me of ripping him off! 🤣🤣🤣 T'wasn't. Shes fine. Right here with me. 🥰
Several of my faves, DOD 747 Stereo Flanger, a "Civil War" version Big Muff I built , EHX Superego+ is so powerfully useful, I could not leave it out. I love tape delay style pedals, I sport a Digitech Obscura on the board but I'm hoping to score a Strymon Volante soon. Reverb stuff is fun, I use a Hardwire Supernatural for general ambience and a EQD Afterneath for spelunking.

As a fan of flangers I must say this is an excellent sounding flanger
"Had to cry today" was sooo lovely
si cazzo
Guessed Metal Zone for #1.
Guessed wrong.
#1 in our hearts
DOD Grunge was my guess
😂
You have to be haired
I thought he was going Helix. Guess not.
That riff and that tone with the Blues Breaker and the GnL sounded so much like the old intro for ProGuitarShopDemos. Really took me back, Andy.
For years, my entire rig was this: '82 Fender '62RI Stratocaster--->1986 original small box RAT--->EHX Deluxe Memory Man--->Fender Deluxe Reverb II (the Rivera one with two channels). I've got loads more stuff now, but I've got that rig still and it's still pretty much perfect.
Was not expecting that intro song. Andy is just genuinely the coolest.
Can't remember if 'Pigs' or 'Dogs'... Don't wanna stop watching to look it up.
Silent Jay Sheep!
Me neither ! It took me a second to even realize what song it was even tho I have heard it so many times
Of all the RUclipsrs who demo, Andy is the only one to really do Gilmour justice. Nothing against any of the others; they sound rad as well... but no one captures the feel and nuance of Dave like Andy.
Silent Jay Sheep?
8:25 God damn, what a sound
Instant Monster Magnet - Negasonic Teenage Warhead
The tone at 6:01 is a dead ringer for the tone in the original Pro Guitar Shops intro song. It's good to know what geat likely used for that song. Brings back great memories.
Love that Flanger.
I hear "Ten years after - I'd love to change to world" in morley pedal demo.
Yep. At about 3:40. Love that song.
When Im asked, which guitar player skills Id like to absorb, I always answer that Andys, because he can play like every guitar player I like ❤️
After years of falling in love with lots of different gear, it really is the stuff I got when I started that I have come back to appreciating the most. If I had only known. It’s been a fun journey though!Great video.

That Flanger tone tho.....🤯🤩🤩🤯 Andy’s @ 3:51 smile said it all 😁
Okay, I was not prepared for this kickass Pink Floyd cover, well done man! This pedalboard is awesome! too

wow the last tune blew me away .brilliant playing and pedal stacking

Love the spaceship noises. Old modulation is the best. Gotta say the inbuilt expression on the Morley is a *super* cool feature
I regret not bying that Morley in the 70´s. Impossebole to fing one now.
As cool as it sounds,the size?..the weight is crazy too, it'll double the weight of your board, It was cool, I think u we're probably thinking pragmatically when u ditched it.
I think Morley sort of lost momentum competing against crybaby's in the 70's, largely because of it's size and weight.
its impossible to fing anything, because that's not a word.
@Nilly Sigger hmmm interesting, so your saying that the reason they are called fingers is because you use them to fing?
See’s Morley flange... “Why didn’t you buy the big one?”
@@musicplaylists59 I fing that response pedantic.
Some pretty cool composition here Andy.

The Fuzz Factory changed the way I approach music. It´s a part of me now :)
Great video ;)

I have the Morley Pro Phaser and it's amazing! ruclips.net/video/G7Ubs9cwtxg/видео.html
I have the 76' Morley volume/phaser. Amazing tank of a pedal.
The fuzzy tone at 6:09 is really unique for an overdrive
great video.your pedal board jam rocked
HELL YES, the G&L legacy!!!
No 65Amps Soho, though
My favorite remains the Sansamp original I have since 1991.
That Grayling is a beauty, Andy.
Great video and playing as always from Mr Andy Martin. And the wise words at the end too! Thanks.
Nice demos and picks for pedals
Cool flanger and resulting pedal chain; although it would have been cooler if you kept the King Wah
My personal favourite pedal would have to be the EHX P:itchfork paired with an EHX dual input expression pedal to turn it into a whammy pedal. Has completely opened up new ways of playing.
What an absolute tasteful selection!
That's one incredible sounding flanger!
Worth it for all the pedals at the end, not to mention the awesome Blind Faith tune. Bravo.
I have the Morley Phaser and its amazing too
I need ASAP! That thing is unreal. The pedal depressed all the way down sounded insane! Have you had it for years? Or did you get it online?
@@jordandangelo180 Online but had two and one now ive had for about 10 years
That intro alone sent me over.
@The Lonely Travelleryes! we know the band, you twat.
Of the phasers I own, my favorite is the Morley Pro Phaser. Same controls as this Flanger and same huge tank-like design. Great video!
Starting with a lesser-known Pink Floyd song is always a great way to get my attention. Thanks Andy
Nice Sheep outro opener!❤️
That Morley is magic! Man o man do those old retcon chips sound fantastic!
6:00 Nine to hear some Blind Faith (although Clapton wasn’t using a Les Paul, or a Marshall Bluesbreaker).
My Morley Power/Wah/Volume was my ONLY pedals touring the 70’s. Only thing...chopped a noticeable amount of signal from your input. Like a ton! Lol
I still have mine, along with the box from Morely. I agree, it is unmatched as of yet!
I saw the Morely pedal from a mile away. I own an 80's Morely Power Wah Boost. Best wah pedal money can buy.
I sold mine because I'm an idiot.
@@RootballJohnson You can find them around still albeit rather rare.
Epic video! Awesome pedalboard setup! Cheers man!
DAMN, that opening riff
Wow that Wilson Vox sure is nice.
Andy is one of my favorite players on youtube
I bought a Bluesbreaker when I was in London. Love it.
That bluesbreaker sound awesome!
You are the best Andy. I loved the OP amp big muff
Great video Andy. I would like to know your top 2 or 3 pedal board power units. Thanks again.
great demos .
I sold my Bluesbreaker because their prices shot through the roof. Have the Snouse blackbox now. Excellent thing, and now I have *significantly* more room on my board.
The Snouse is an excellent clone of the BB.
Does it have the same magic grain on the highs?
That’s amazing, the phase volume Wah is equally as fun and deep….
I finally got a Phaser to demo, you can see it on my chan! Thanks, Fuzz Wah has to be next!
@AndyDemos I think i know of one...hahaha
I have a second hand George Dennis volume pedal, gotta be my number 1.
Some good spacial effects, thanks.
Hi. Do you know how to calibrate a Morley Pro Flanger's trimpots to get it sounding properly?
Can someone please remind me what the first song andy plays in the video is? I know its a pink floyd track but I cant quite put my finger on which one it is
I have an old Compact Morley wah, that has incredible sweep but needs to be restored.
I think the first pedal I was really entranced by was the Dan-Echo. I still have it too, it survived a house fire many years ago.
Very cool videos, parts 1 and 2.
Thnx Andy - you are enlightening & definitely entertaining...!!!
When I heard that Morley, I thought: Hawkwind! Yes' "Starship Trooper" also came to mind.
The Flanger is great, my closest pedal would be the MF-Chorus with Exp plugged in.
Holy crap. "Let's change the harmonic colouration" I didn't care that much for it, but then you flicked a switch and WOW
its a switch btwn positive or negative feedback. the Boss half rack RBF-10 has it (mn panasonic BBDs) as does the famous MXR126 (also Reticon like the Morley).
to put it in words, positive always sounds classic space jet thing, and negative is swampy and throaty.
Do you always use wah after dirt, Andy?
That Morley was pretty disappointing at first, bit as soon as that harmonic coloration kicks in, WOW! it's wild how vowel-like the phase sweep was. Almost like a talkbox.
Can we have a video of the Marshall Blues breaker with the boosts that you presented in your other video? :)
Lol at the size of that Morley! Looks like it was made for Thanos to step on. Sounds awesome though!
Have a Mooer Blues Crab and a Big Muff OpAmp on my board right now, so that makes me happy lol
The Morley is amazing.
Had to cry today
I've got almost the same pedals) but they're much cheaper. Jimi Hendrix signture wah into Yerasov distortion into Boss bf-2 into Mxr Carbon Copy. Also, I've got Brhringer Vintage Distortion - a copy of Big Muff. Sometimes I run trough it)
Andy, thanks for sharing - that's it.
At 7:37, if you have subtitles on, it says "laughter" ....
Does the Wah use a Fasel? Curious … I have a 68 Cry Baby Thomas Organ that I really like …
🎸👨🏼⚕️🫶✌️♾️
The Legacy returns!
Hmm, I had a Blues Breaker back then - never really bonded with it strangely? I'd rather have a Maxon 808 ;-)
Owned the Pro Phaser wished had kept it. bought in 78
A bit of Robin Trower with the Morley
Didn't even watch the whole video before liking, 30 seconds in when he was playing sheep, instant like.
So when's the next potent pairings video?
Pedalboard giveaway?
Andy is the coolest.
REALLY ENJOYED HEARING "SHEEP" wait toan is in fingur why amp and pedal then ?
You've got some real Ummagumma sounds going on there Andy!
Would've guess the Lovepedal Kalamazoo. That Marshall one is great tho!
What is the name of the song play at the 6 min mark?
Fuzz into drive (with or without boost) = GOOD.
Nice listening to a real PRO.. they make it sound easy, but even the experimentalist I am can appreciate the nuances of effects I live and breathe by.
"Had to cry Today"? Yeah I know that feeling 🎃
Thanks Andy
I mean... I TRIED to sell my Morley Pro Flanger a few years ago for like $150, but when it got to the guy he said it was broken and accused me of ripping him off! 🤣🤣🤣
