@@terrenceflynn hey Terrance, the only similarities between those 2 pedals is the name and the fact that they are relatively low gain. very difference circuits and sounds overall. cheers!
to be fair. when he was playing the blues breaker, he said it sounds like that MARSHALL pedal from back in the day! think he deserves a half point for that one hahah
He is so good. Sometimes, I wonder if a lot of the tone arguments are BS, but he can obviously classify tone way better than most. He's better than anyone I've seen.
There are some iconic pedals that veterans can recognize almost instantly. For me it's 1. Metal zone because it's a pedal I used a lot when starting out; 2. Blues driver and 3. Tube screamer because I use both extensively the last 10 years. Everything else I wouldnt be able to tell in a blind test
@@barnes80 if the knobs are turned all crazy, no one would be able to recognize anything. It's the same with guitars, you turn the tone knob all the way to zero and no one would be able to recognize strats, teles, les pauls, anything.
It's definitely a case of if you've used one of these pedals for a bit you immediately get the feel for it. Tube Screamer was my first so I could never miss it. Rat has that weird OD/distortion/fuzz hybrid sound that's pretty unique. And the Muff is just so thick in the sustain you'll know that one right away too. I would struggle with the SD1 Nobles, and Blues Breaker as I'm least familiar with them, maybe the Klon too considering I use it to only add a little hair and push to mostly clean tones.
He's like a sommelier of all things guitar-sound 😂 I half expect him to describe things as nutty, or having the essence of stone fruit with warming spice. LOL
A true student of musical gear. Rob chapman absolutely deserves to be inducted into the yt hall of fame. His ability for this type of video is exactly what built yt into the powerhouse it is today.
RUclips is a screaming wreck that never updates anything it's a mess to work with and the relentless scolding because some asshole didn't like what you wrote. Please there should just be a Music video channel for teaching and everything else with a much better control panel. maybe I'll have to make one...... KRIKEY!!!
@@andertons Sure, but we haven't seen a single klon clone shootout in 2024 and the year is nearly half-way done! How will we ever know if it still holds up without another shootout?
No no no, Rob got 6 out 8 correctly the first time, as he didn't say Blues Breaker but said it was the Marshall "thing" and was obviously meaning that specific pedal. I would give him another half point as he described the Rat as it sounds, but couldn't really name it. The only one he really didn't get was the Nobles, but got it the second time, after Lee confused him between the Rat and the Blues Breaker. So, I would give him another half point for that! 😄 Chaptastic as usual!!!
YES!!! Thank you, please do more of these type of videos: speakers, pedals, pickups, picks, amps, cab sizes, amp sims, phasers/flangers, plugins, cables, hell even tuners and buffers! Test Sir Rob Chapman’s ears while he’s still young!!!
Just being able to play guitar so well blindfolded is just amazing. To be able to notice all the idiosyncracies of various bits of equipment is just beyond me how he does it.
I love all the Andertons videos but what really puts an Andertons video over the top for me is when you bring Rob in. Not only is he a great player, singer and songwriter but it's the chemistry between Rob and the Captain that really works for me. I learn so much from Andertons videos and it does keep me inspired to keep playing. Cheers.
Watching this WITHOUT playing along in the guessing game, this is actually a great video showing what each overdrive DOES. Again, another no loss video from Andertons!
Rob is really good at this! I just bought a Line 6 POD go and I have never owned anything but multi effects pedals. Playing for 30+ years and never bought one. (I know that is pretty weird.) So this has helped me pick out a distortion pedal I like. BTW I really am enjoying the POD Go... Buy one! 😀
I would love to see a blind fold challenge with the multi effects pedals do we feel it sounds good cause its expensive or is it really worth spending a exorbitant amout for good sound love the work you guys do
I had the mini version, great sounding pedal, but too heavy in the bass for me, and i couldn't filter it out. If you buy one, go for the full size version they use here, as it has a bass cut switch. Just saying.....
"I've never played a Klon before, but I think its a Klon" The man is not making things up, what a legend. Always great to have Chappers and the Cpataoin on screen.
That was a wake-up call, I made some paid projects with blender and wanted to contribute, but I forgot, thank you for reminding me. I just made a donation.
I love every Anderton’s video, but the Stump the Chapper’s series is always a treat. Rob just has incredible ears and a depth of knowledge that is wondrous to behold
Wish there would’ve been an OG OCD overdrive! One of my favorites and I still have the original Gen 1 from 95. They’ve rocketed in price since they discontinued them.
When I watch shootouts like these, I admittedly never try to guess which is which. Rather, I always aim to rank which one is my favorite, make a few notes about what I hear, and then let myself either be surprised or affirmed by what my ears prefer. In this case, the Bluebreaker was far and away my favorite, which is pretty great as my main OD is a Morning Glory!
its crazy how he perfectly described the rat without saying rat lol.
Half of us screaming at the screen: Say it!
And the Marshall at first.
@@metamizol1606 right! he said the Marshall pedal! He knew which one it was just didn’t have the pedal knowledge.
Objection your honor! Leading the witness!
And it's crazy also how with the blues driver he almost only instinctively played blues riffs that are good with that pedal XD
For old time’s sake, you REALLY should have snuck in a Korg Miku
Absolutely
Oh yeah
I was SOOOO hoping for this! Imagine the laugh we could have had. 😢😂
YES
Sorribly is the most British thing I’ve ever heard
It's short for terribly sorry :)
Lee: “I realised we didn’t have a Boss and thought that’s crazy, we have to have a Boss!”
Metal Zone: 😢 “do I mean nothing to you!”
😂
Yes!!! Ha ha 🤘🏽
the "rat" was a clone, too.
Blues driver is a blues breaker clone i believe . So they basically had all the boss bases covered lol
@@terrenceflynn hey Terrance, the only similarities between those 2 pedals is the name and the fact that they are relatively low gain. very difference circuits and sounds overall. cheers!
As soon as the Big Muff turns on, he immediately plays "Quiet" by Smashing Pumpkins. Chappers is the man!
Ears remarkable
Oh man!!! Dan and Mick doing a pedal blindfold challenge would be a blast to watch!!! Make this happen!
And rename it "Stump that nerd!"
I seriously doubt it would go well
to be fair. when he was playing the blues breaker, he said it sounds like that MARSHALL pedal from back in the day!
think he deserves a half point for that one hahah
Came here to say this lmao
Can absolutely see them under the goggles. He just couldn't remember the name

That Nobels ODR1 was a bit of a wild card…. I also thought it sounded a lot like a Blues Driver. Chapman did so well at this. Hats off to him!
I thought it sounded like the OD3

"all products available i at Andertons" - I'll take seven Klons please :D
Watch the Klon Clone shootout video we did…. (Spoiler alert… Wampler Tumnus wins)
I've seen that (as all of the others) but I want THE KLON! :D
@@andertons Sure, but we haven't seen a single klon clone shootout in 2024 and the year is nearly half-way done! How will we ever know if it still holds up without another shootout?
Sure that’ll be £50000 plus vat and shipping!
Ha ha!!!
I would not have been surprised to hear „It‘s a tube screamer, the left knob has come off and it has a scratch in the bottom left corner“
TECHNICALLY, Rob did say, "Marshall" when playing the Blues Breaker (17:54)
That Pedal Show… Challenge Accepted?!
One thing is for sure, when it comes to anything guitar related, Chappers knows his sh*t!
He does
Great to see "Chappers" back with the blindfold challenge!
When the video first started, I said "what, no SD-1?" slightly outraged! Glad you included it later on. That's my go to drive pedal 🙂
All of my drive Pedals say Boss on them, except a PSK labeled Distortion DS-1 😂
Sd1 is seriously underrated for 80s rock and metal and really gets those screaming harmonics. Gives more grunt than a tubescreamer.
The Klon was magnificent and Rob was incredibly intuitive as usual.
5000 pounds⁉️
Better hide it in the fridge when you're not home....
Around 17.50 Rob mentioned "a pedal Marshall did" talking about the Blues Breaker
Yeah, he should've gotten that point as well
Here we go!! Never tire of these😊
i love Lee's faces whenver Chapman got the right answer😂😂
I found this channel about a week ago and I'm digging it 😁
this definitely is the second best G-porn show
Ah man you're lucky..you've got an absolute ton of good shit to watch.
15:36 Moregain Freeman🤣
The Shawshank Shredemption!
Yer driving miss daisy crazy with moregain!
Pedal name....
No no no, Rob got 6 out 8 correctly the first time, as he didn't say Blues Breaker but said it was the Marshall "thing" and was obviously meaning that specific pedal.

So, I would give him another half point for that! 😄
Chaptastic as usual!!!
Next: Digital John - multi effects blindfold challenge.
It's fun to see someone actually turn up the gain on a Klon, its such a cool sound that you never hear. Eveyone uses it as a boring clean boost.
Josh Scott uses it that way. He doesn't understand people who use it a clean boost!
The Boss SD-1 is the best pedal on there IMO. Love it: mine is always on my board...
We needs the googly eyes back for those blindfold challenges 👀
Rob is really good at spotting tones... Very impressive. Love these blind shootouts. Keep em going...
love this - love you guys - I do not usually write in... MY THANKS overflows - good Sirs... love everything about you guys..!!
cheeky
Lees reaction when Rob said it was like a Klon, lee died a little bit there haha
What a tasty demo of classic pedal tones! 💯👍 Chapman Is a beast! 🔥🎸, Thanks Lee.
Rob Plays half a second, then immediately jumps into Quiet by Smashing Pumpkins, an Iconic use of the Big Muff. Impressive!
That's probably the only one I would have guessed correctly. For the very same reasons as Mr. Rob.
@@stulora3172 Yeah, same here.
23:36 - I love how as soon as Rob hears the sound of the Big Muff, the first thing he plays is a Siamese Dream-era Smashing Pumpkins riff.
YES!!! Thank you, please do more of these type of videos: speakers, pedals, pickups, picks, amps, cab sizes, amp sims, phasers/flangers, plugins, cables, hell even tuners and buffers! Test Sir Rob Chapman’s ears while he’s still young!!!
This episode was so good! ❤ Loved it.
Bro... as I say in every single one of these videos: IT HAS GOT TO BE STAGED
Rob is an absolute superhuman. Borderline mystical stuff happening here.
That Pedal Show would be fun. Multiple pedal clones and they have to guess which one is the O.G.
Just being able to play guitar so well blindfolded is just amazing. To be able to notice all the idiosyncracies of various bits of equipment is just beyond me how he does it.

I got them all right, but I was watching the video the whole time.
Day is done. Outside on the deck watching this. Great way to end the day!!
Love watching you 2 again!! Great video
Damn! That man just catching thats sounds and understand. Looks like magic. I seening he's noticed every singl one!
The "Monkey Lord" just constantly amazes me every "Blindfold" challange! It shouldn't any more but IT DOES! Thank you "Captain"!!!
Incredible! And in chappers defense, he called out the blues breaker as one of those old big Marshall pedals from way back when.
Watching this WITHOUT playing along in the guessing game, this is actually a great video showing what each overdrive DOES. Again, another no loss video from Andertons!
cool to see the boys back together again
Rob is the best I have ever seen at being able to pick out tone so well. It's actually mind blowing how good he is at it

I find these videos so entertaining. So impressive of Rob to get thebones he did so quickly
That guitar is beautiful, love the colour
Best video in ages!! Thank you.
Any pedal that is 10 years or older, AND used top mounted jacks was ahead of its time.
These videos are just the best.
Rob continues to have the most amazing ears. Just crazy.
So the chance of winning the Klon is literally one in a million 😅
That was Impressive Mr Chappers knows the tone - very cool and fun to watch - thanks guys!
Today I learned the Boss SD-1 is the best OD, by far.
It is really nice to hear the pedals one after another and hear the differences 😮
Hilarious how instantly he played smashing pumpkins as soon as the big muff came out 😂😂 respect
"He's probably one of the most famous Rat users, isn't he?"
*Coughs* in Trevor Peres ...
Sunn O)) are also famous for their use of rats
Rob said Honky @9:50 and Lee had that "what'd you call me look on his face". Funny stuff
Great video!!! Love the Chappers and Lee videos! 🔥
I love how there was zero time between the Muff being engaged and Quiet being played. 😍
Lee gives Rob a small hint when he says the "output" on the klon is at half.
Wow, that Nobels ODR-1 sounded amazing! I've never tried one but I definitely want to now.
I had the mini version, great sounding pedal, but too heavy in the bass for me, and i couldn't filter it out. If you buy one, go for the full size version they use here, as it has a bass cut switch. Just saying.....
SD-1 into the big muff into a Vox. It's is just sooo good.
Best classic distortion Demo EVER
That was impressive! To be fair I’ve never seen the green nobles pedal before. And Rob guessed the Marshall correct when he originally played it!!
Fantatstic sound quality there.
"I've never played a Klon before, but I think its a Klon" The man is not making things up, what a legend. Always great to have Chappers and the Cpataoin on screen.
Funny that Rob wants to go back to the Metalzone at the end. It’s a great pedal, I mainly use it for bass, but it can do a bunch of cool fuzzy sounds.
I really need a Nobels ODR-1.....
I have no idea what the next blindfold challenge with Rob could be, but I can't wait for it!
"Centre detent" ... give him a floor mat with bumps for "towards the captain" and "towards the camera" :)
That was a wake-up call, I made some paid projects with blender and wanted to contribute, but I forgot, thank you for reminding me. I just made a donation.
Finally Robs back. Love it
Watching him constantly turning of hilarious🤣🤣🤣
Love this content!
That pedal show definitely need to take you up on that challenge
I love every Anderton’s video, but the Stump the Chapper’s series is always a treat. Rob just has incredible ears and a depth of knowledge that is wondrous to behold
I’m amazed at Chappers ability to get all of these!
Interesting video series, only think I would add is to start all pedals on no volume or drive and the rest at 12 o'clock.
Wish there would’ve been an OG OCD overdrive! One of my favorites and I still have the original Gen 1 from 95. They’ve rocketed in price since they discontinued them.
Yep amazing
Great days listening to you guys. Smiles wide as a mile! Super stuff! More please!😂
Unbelievable, Rob really knows his stuff
When I watch shootouts like these, I admittedly never try to guess which is which. Rather, I always aim to rank which one is my favorite, make a few notes about what I hear, and then let myself either be surprised or affirmed by what my ears prefer. In this case, the Bluebreaker was far and away my favorite, which is pretty great as my main OD is a Morning Glory!
That guitar is beautiful! It's the best looking Chapman I've ever seen! Tele with Gibson Custom vibes, really sweet.
Lee gives it away by saying the name of knobs in the beginning
All are good, really but there’s something about BOSS that makes me go back to them pedals EOD.
Pretty incredible that the second Rob hears the Muff he goes immediately to Smashing Pumpkins and plays the 'Quiet' riff.
I think that after the humbucker video and now this, there is no doubt about Chappers' skills.
Chapman!!! ❤❤❤❤ you are a master!! The best!! Whatda challenge!!!
I love the Rat. Bought one in the 90s and didn’t love it. Dug it out about 10-12 years ago and it’s my favourite pedal since.
I am so happy this is back!! 🤘😀🤘
