He’s a very inspiring guy. He has a very soulful and expressive playing, calm and articulate way of speaking and indeed polite and attentive listening.
Yep. Reminds me a bit of Mick Ronson. I mean that as the ultimate compliment. I think Barrie might be the best elec rock guitarist to come out of England in 40 years. Love him.
The sound of Les Paul with the steve william tone bender's is exactly the same as Jimmy Page at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. This sound is absolutly incredible....
Normal people when they see a '59 Les Paul: "This is an unbelieveably good and rare guitar! This is the best f*kin' thing I ever touched! I need this in my life even though I might have to sell my organs to buy it!" Barrie when he sees a '59 Les Paul: "It's a nice guitar."
As the fella above me said, I’ve played I think 4 Les Paul’s from 57-60. The best one by far was a 57 gold top. The other 3 were just okay or not that amazing at least.
I’m usually not a big fuzz guy, but holy sh*t… that sound with the Esquire is one of the baddest guitar sounds I’ve ever heard. If I could find a Fuzz pedal that actually sounds like that, but doesn’t cost $2,000 or whatever, I’d get it in a heartbeat. But no Tonebender I’ve ever heard sounds like that. This one actually doesn’t sound that “fuzzy” to me. Sounds more like some kind of a crazy boost or something.
Yeah Barrie, I love all those pedal, this telecaster and the history i created few Fuzz Pedals inspirated about the old Flavors... See U * * Cheers * W. :)
Someone told me to try an MK1 a few years ago when talking newer fuzz pedals, so I ended up ordering parts to build myself a Clone Bender MK1. While it is pretty wild at max. attack it became my favorite main gain for modern rock and metal with the attack in the lower areas, added a TS like pedal after it to get some brightness back though.
the Gibson Maestro fz1 was 1962-3 tonebender was copy of it slight variant.like maestro better more sputter n attack.500ma leaky transistors gave it the magic,junk parts...now there 1000bucks...man o man a.sucker born every minute ..pt Barnum..
And labour costs (hand-built). Plus knowledge acquired over many years on how to authentically build a tone bender. The cost of something is never just the parts

@@cgavin1 yeah, you get the privilege of free choice.. to buy or not and obviously you won’t which is fine. But somehow they don’t have the choice as to however much they can charge? Why must the price be justified to someone who wouldn’t be a paying customer anyway? If you think its absurd and a rip-off, its fine but it seems like everything you’re doing is simply to put down the product based on its price. The builder/marketer has a right to charge whatever stupid price he likes, based on what he thinks he deserves or his time is worth. Don’t you do the same with your personal time/money/effort on a daily basis for the smallest things? You sound hypocritical and small.. arguing on points that cannot be substantiated with actions. If the circuit is so readily available to build, let anyone who is willing, make a better product for the cost they think is fair.. and take it away from Mercari yeah? Which has already been happening for decades, yet they are still in business. Don’t even know the basics of a free market, just talk shit about IQ and such. You know, its okay, you don’t have to feel so offended at people willing to pay silly prices for what you don’t want.
Barrie has clearly learned the art of listening without interrupting
He’s a very inspiring guy. He has a very soulful and expressive playing, calm and articulate way of speaking and indeed polite and attentive listening.
Barrie let's his Fender do the talkin!

Seems like a nice guy to me. Amazing player.

Of all those West End shops, Macaris has always been the friendliest with the least attitude & more heritage than the rest. Class.
Unfortunately Macaris has now gone.
@@colinmcnab6145 I'm very sorry to hear that. Thanks for letting me know, it was always my favourite.
What? No it is still there
Meh, bought an acoustic there. Can't say I went back in a fvcking hurry.
Barrie is by far the best guitarist ❗👍

Having played 4, some are great, some are meh. My favorite "burst" I ever played was an old fake.
I tried various guitars, the best for me is the vintage blackguard Esquire with the limited JMI wooden Tone Bender. Thanks Leo, thanks Gary.

Barrie is THE man..
Loved it when he burst into dance. Rock on, mate!
this is awesome. killer playing
wow. great pedals, great guitar, great room, great sounds!!
That Esquire is awesome. Great heavy fuzz sounds from the Tonebender!
Man it's so wild that crazy ass sound was around as early as 1965. Complete game-changer for sure.
Always enjoy listening to barrie's playing. This video makes me think, how have I never owned a fuzz pedal before?

Nice one Barrie and Anthony!
This is the sound of rock and roll!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😁😁😁😁😁😁
I can't wait for little Barrie new álbum.
There's a new little Barrie album coming out?
No. :(
@@jakehawkes591 I saw them play in Portsmouth on Saturday night with a new drummer so hopefully!?
@@markwilkie3567 dude I'm so jealous of everyone that got to witness their comeback show! But yeah hope they start hitting up London soon!!
@@jakehawkes591 It was an awesome gig! Their new drummer is Tony Coote and although no one can replace Virgil he was pretty damn good!!
Now i want a tone bender!!!
I know right? Just ordered one from Mike Williams, 6 week wait 😣
Sounds like heaven.
Killer dancing, Anthony!
Probably the best sound I’ve heard outta a sunburst les Paul
The best player you could’ve chosen
I never get tired of Tone Benders and Teles - these particular examples are stellar. Anyway - thank you!
I would have perhaps tried the pedal with a less aggressive setting but still sick. Barry's burst has such an insane top lol. Damn.
Selmer Red True Voice amp !
The Mick Ronson fuzz
I think Beck borrowed the riff from Them for Devil's Haircut!!!
yeaaaaaaaah !!!!!!
What´s the tune Barry starts to play in the vid??
The band?
Thanks!
I´ll have one of each please.
Oh my, that Rangemaster.
What Truvoice it-is ? TV12, TV19, ... ?
Didn’t Gibson make the first pedal the fuzz pedal?
Yeah Barrie,
I love all those pedal, this telecaster and the history
i created few Fuzz Pedals inspirated about the old Flavors...
See U * * Cheers * W. :)
what song/tune is the first one?
holy shit

Fucking epic!!!
Why is the guy wearing pyjama bottoms?
Good golly miss Molly
£329.00 for this Tonebender pedal? Why so expensive mate?
This tone is pretty tight
Can anyone else see the crazy dancing guy or is it just me?
fYeah❗️blast it‼️
Tone benders are swole fuck the competitors fuck the others. I love clones of great old pedals
