Mick: "My least favorite Tube Screamer." Dan: "Really! Why's that?" Mick: "We're about to find out." Honestly, I don't know what I love more about this show - the playing or the banter. I suppose the gear and knowledge thereof are also alright as well. ;) Ace episode as always, gents!
Continuum was a keeley ts808..he acquired the ts10s a year later just before the Where the light is concert as a gift from Renne his (SRV's) guitar tech :)
Fascinating piece of information/knowledge! I’ve been a huge TS-808 fan going back a long time before we have all of the pedals we have today. I’ve had every iteration except for the TS-10 which I actually just purchased because I really think I overlooked for a lot of years. I’m looking forward to testing it out and seeing if it becomes my new favorite pedal. I may look into the Keeley 808 now too!
I saw your comment and was going to say, "hey, how about getting Simon Keats in to talk about the Revival Drive", and 30 seconds latter Mick mentioned they'd just done an episode on it. Can't wait! I love your Cali76 btw.
Please bring Keats to properly range the Revival Drive it never gets a true perspective! Stop putting this pedal in "shootouts" it is not your basic OD or preamp pedal with normal EQ knob twisting. Can't get clean, oh my god man! And you had the manual????
Best thing is when you guys just sit and enjoy each others playing, you're such amazing dudes! Nothing like "yea yea, now it's my turn", just pure respect and love for each other and life. You're an inspiration! Amazing, love it, mega!
I feel so happy when I watch your videos, and that's probably why. It's genuine joy for the things you do. Thanks for the reply guys, keep up the amazing stuff! :)
Revisiting this episode (holeee Moses - that Sidecar!), I realised that I'd rather watch old episodes of TPS than most television shows. I haven't been playing much lately. Paused the ep after that chord that Dan schwanged on the Hudson at 36:47 and played my 335 for 2 hours straight. Thx TPS.
Boss SD1 is still my favourite out of this lineup- possibly because it was the first pedal that I ever bought and there's a nostalgia factor in my head
I use to play Eddie’s Attic in Atlanta GA USA many years ago and one of the guys who took up advance sale tickets was a very young John Mayer. He helped me with my guest list many times. I had no idea he even played guitar. Me being a fiddler as well as an electric guitarist.....he seemed to be fascinated by my blues rock style on the fiddle. We are talking a lot of years back as I am 59 almost 60. At the time I didn’t even know he played guitar
I think the year I got to know him was around 1998 or so. He seemed to be extremely humble back then. I’m sure he is now. He was really in to the fact that I use to play with the late great Jerry Reed in the early to mid eighties. John is such a mega-talent. I just love his playing and singing. One of my favorite artists.......no question about it.
David Blackmon - Awesome that you got to play with Jerry Reed - what an amazing fingerstyle player and writer. Seemed like such a great guy too. Any Jerry stories?
The TS9 sounded exactly as you described, Mick. Stringy and loose with too much sizzle. Nailed it. You spoke what I was thinking about it. Love the tighter more defined sound of the others. Loved the episode. Mayer/SRV sounds are my sound.
Amazing revisit of the TS. Thx guys. I think I have to get me some Sidecar! And love the guitar face from Dan when the Sidecar kicked in. Priceless. Lol
Damn, that Walrus sounds GOOOOOOD! Might just have found my first od pedal ever! Always just relied on the dirt I could push my amps into,- but this...... Sonic bliss incarnate! Good job, Walrus Audio. Youv´e gotten yourselves a new customer,- and I´m a metal head! What do you know?
I am just not a TS guy. But even a show about pedals that you don’t like helps you to eliminate “what if” questions. I now know that I don’t need any of those pedals for my own style. Thanks Dan and Mick.
@fastguitar yes and it's great. Cheapet than a real ts10 and you wouldn't be able to tell then apart. All the patches are great copies but I love the ts10,MSL and ts9 best
That Bonsai sounds great, not the biggest fan of JHS pedals but I'm really tempted to give that a go. And I quite like the floor-board look of the back wall :)
Hi! May I ask what you dont like about the JHS pedals? I'm looking into this and their new Tighty Whitey compressor, but I've never owned a compressor or Tube screamer. Thanks!
D-Nasty's Noise I own several JHS pedals and they are all top notch. I own a Morning Glory, Cheese Ball fuzz, and the Unicorn V2 Univibe. They are all great pedals. I am about to buy the Bonasi for the TS-10 and TS-7 settings alone even though they all sound great.
I’m really happy to hear that you guys like everything that Walrus Audio makes, a few years ago I started buying all their releases & have never been disappointed! Yes, I have tons of pedals from other manufacturers but Walrus is the company that has never disappointed.
My buddy dropped me off the Bonsai pedal a few weeks ago just to mess with it. I'm not a Tubescreamer kinda guy but if I needed to get one I'd NO DOUBT get the JHS Bonsai. I'm 61 and loves me some FUZZ!! :) Killer playing as always dudes!! Shalom fromThe Big Sky Country of Lakeside MONTANA USA!!!
Another superbly clarifying video with you two sounding great as always. Thanks guys, and a special thanks to Simon for his heretofore unheralded effects highlighting that adds so much clarity to each video. Yes!
I found it funny that Andertons had 6 Hudson Sidecars in stock when this video came out. They all got sold soon after. Glad I got my order in quickly!!!
I always keep going back to my vintage 1980 TS808. To me, vintage is king. Analogman Silver Mod TS9 is a very, very good modern compromise. Wish you guys had the TS808HW in this one. It's a different tonal take on the tube screamer. Very warm, would sound great for fusion guitar.
I didn't realize it was a john mayer strat, until you said it in the video. I saw it on one of your old videos and hunted down what the knobs were. Bought them a few months ago. instagram.com/p/Bhe-CcIhEQH/?
That fly landing on Mick's face and Mick saying we're not scum, I promise, has to be the best moment yet! The tears of laughter and a sore stomach made my day GENTS!
I bought a Bad Monkey to let my Lionheart L5T-112 sound a bit better at appartment volume. Did the job. ☺ After seeing this show i'm willing to upgrade!
I’ve listened to constantly for nearly three years now. Mick here. It’s total anathema to me. Wonder if we could go to Fender and have them diagnose it?
Always love those opening guitar improvisations. That look on Dans face (at the 1:00 mark)when he anticipated the exact riff Mick was about to toss in, almost like he'd heard the sequence a time or 2 before... ;)
The joy in both your faces is the cherry on the cake. Truly genuine content. If you had to pick one of the Sidecar or the Warhorn, which would it be? I'd love to try the Sidecar at 18v or 24v.
This might not be a popular opinion, but I think the best sound of the whole video was the RYRA 808. It has a little more life and sparkle than the TS808 and even the JHS. You guys really came to life as players when it came on- like, it inspired you. It sounded like a TS, but just a really good one with a touch of "magic" so to speak. That said, I doubt I'm going to buy one...
Back in the nineties I bought a distortion pedal, which was my only guitar pedal until like two years ago when I started playing electric a bit more again. Only when I started watching guitar gear RUclips videos I checked what that pedal actually was - a Tubescreamer TS10 :) I was a bit disappointed that it wasn’t the famous original TS, but it’s still a nice pedal.
I bought my Tube Screamer TS10 at a Thrift Store for $6.00 ! That's SIX BUCKS!!!! It is a 1986 Model made in Japan so it has the JRC 4558 in it. I opened it and checked. Best deal I ever got. It is in mint condition too. :)
I recently came back to using a tube screamer after many many many years. For the longest time I just couldn't get the slight clean poking through to work for me. I stack it into my JHS Morning Glory and WHOA! The TS sound I'd been looking for. (And poor Mick being violated by that fly!) 😅
Hello from the US (Central Daylight Time)! I just woke up to find this video in my queue and I’m enjoying it whilst eating my breakfast! Cheers, TPS gang!
I spent the majority of the 80's playing my butterscotch Tele through an Ibanez UE300 (CS9/TS9/CP9) and a Yamaha E1005 delay into a '65 Vibrolux Reverb.... didn't realize at the time what I had, and I've been spending most of my last 15 years trying to get BACK to that sound!!
Ha! Excellent. I think most of us have similar experiences with gear, whatever it is. It’s happening all the time... lots of tube amps are going to get re-bought in the next 5-10 years. That’s all I’m saying. Mick here. ;0)
Gain/fuzz based episodes are what I live for. Some of the best tones come from these. Funny enough I was never interested in fuzz until your show covered them. Great vid!
Matt38977897 - ha! Same with me! I think the analogman fuzz show really did it for me, those pedals are so musical. I have played big muffs etc and its just a wall of noise with no dynamics. Cant get into it. But the AM fuzz is much different...playable.
..love Mick’s taste for strats..(..and playing isnt bad at all...haha..wonderful as always!...dan’s too;) Btw..just got my Bonsai 2weeks ago...love it..not gonna use all 9 of them probably..but 5-6 most certainly...)
The SD-1 was my first pedal ever (back in the mid 90s) and it still is my favorite overdrive. I had a feeling but I didn't realize how similar to the tube screamer it is.
Just get the Bonsai. You will have different Tube Screamers for different rooms & amps. Its really good. Spot-on. Check-out Andy Martin's Demo - going 1 on 1 Bonsai vs. Actual Pedals. Pretty Impressive. ( and I am a Fulltone OCD guy )
I don’t know how I missed this show. Great playing, Mick! I absolutely love my TS-10. It’s my favorite TS; I’ve had the 808, TS-9 (modded and unmodded) and a TS-5. I recently built a 10 clone and in some ways like it better. It’s like a boutique TS-10 with mods. But there is something about the 10 that the clone doesn’t have. Funny, I feel I still need both. Haha
I recently bought a Bonsai, and it is truly phenomenal. The XR and TS9 settings are my favorites, used in low gain settings with the clean channel on the amp driven to just before breakup.
@fastguitar i find that each and every one of the screamers reproduced here is excellent in its own way. I still prefer those two because they do it for me: low gain boost with amazing transparency, letting a good sounding guitar keep its individuality.

“I won’t rise to this”. You tell ‘em, Simon! 😂
It's the most English text response I could imagine
The Bonsai is my favorite pedal on my board... loads of tones in one box
Mick: "My least favorite Tube Screamer."
Dan: "Really! Why's that?"
Mick: "We're about to find out."
Honestly, I don't know what I love more about this show - the playing or the banter. I suppose the gear and knowledge thereof are also alright as well. ;)
Ace episode as always, gents!
Then the following settings show no discernable difference between the 9 and the 808. Haha.
Continuum was a keeley ts808..he acquired the ts10s a year later just before the Where the light is concert as a gift from Renne his (SRV's) guitar tech :)
Fascinating piece of information/knowledge! I’ve been a huge TS-808 fan going back a long time before we have all of the pedals we have today. I’ve had every iteration except for the TS-10 which I actually just purchased because I really think I overlooked for a lot of years. I’m looking forward to testing it out and seeing if it becomes my new favorite pedal. I may look into the Keeley 808 now too!
Best show description you’ve ever written, Mick. I’m still laughing!
Excellent! Thank you for reading it. :0)
Agreed! Can't stop laughing
Same tho
Completely agree. Mick, thanks for putting all the details in the show description. I use it all the time going back to past videos.
Loved it.
I can imagine Mick pulling out his Keeley-modded 808 and whispering "there's no place like home....there's no place like home"
All I wish for is somebody to look at me the way Dan looks at Mick in the intro
that made my day haha
Please give Simon a high-five from us! 😂😂😂 at 16:40
Simon! Simon! Simon! He should have schwang one of these episodes.
I saw your comment and was going to say, "hey, how about getting Simon Keats in to talk about the Revival Drive", and 30 seconds latter Mick mentioned they'd just done an episode on it. Can't wait! I love your Cali76 btw.

Best thing is when you guys just sit and enjoy each others playing, you're such amazing dudes! Nothing like "yea yea, now it's my turn", just pure respect and love for each other and life. You're an inspiration! Amazing, love it, mega!
Thank you Johan - we’re glad you see it like that! It’s not contrived to be so, but we’re just genuinely stoked to be able to do this. Cheers!
I feel so happy when I watch your videos, and that's probably why. It's genuine joy for the things you do. Thanks for the reply guys, keep up the amazing stuff! :)
Mick, hands down if I could play like anyone on RUclips, I'd play like you. Such great tone, style, and soul.
Just purchased the Hudson Sidecar from Riff City. GREAT episode! Thanks and cheers from Maryland, USA
Cool! They are good guys - thanks for letting us know!
Revisiting this episode (holeee Moses - that Sidecar!), I realised that I'd rather watch old episodes of TPS than most television shows. I haven't been playing much lately. Paused the ep after that chord that Dan schwanged on the Hudson at 36:47 and played my 335 for 2 hours straight.
Thx TPS.
Boss SD1 is still my favourite out of this lineup- possibly because it was the first pedal that I ever bought and there's a nostalgia factor in my head
32 likes and the video hasn't even been out long enough to finish watching the whole thing. That's how you know you are great.
I have the JHS Muffuletta and love it. I hope they come out with a bunch of Fuzz Faces in one pedal!
25:10 When that strat moved my heart skipped a beat LOL
Came here to find this comment
That Hudson Sidecar is Spectacular.
The start of that is like a John Mayer concert. Loved it. Might have to look into the sidecar
Mick's gigantic water bottle makes a return :D Stay hydrated kids!
Wow the Hudson Sidecar pedal sounds amazing!!! Execellent video as always TPS -thank you for your insights! :)
I agree! Now to choose between the Sidecar and the Broadcaster...
Yea I have the same dilema ;-) There both amazing pedals!
If you want to make your own Broadcast, PEdalPCB sells the replica circuit board.
Sidecar amazing in headphones!! Dripping with tonal honey!
Excellent, more excellent when louder with added Hudson, Cheers chaps :)
Ts10 seems like something I would dream about in a guitar dream even if it wasn’t real
Lovely to see the much-maligned TS10 had one for 30 years still on the board but wow I may just have to swap it for the side car what a sound
I reckon you guys could get John Mayer on the show, seems like he likes to do educational things now and again
Sure! I’ll give him a call. :0)
I use to play Eddie’s Attic in Atlanta GA USA many years ago and one of the guys who took up advance sale tickets was a very young John Mayer. He helped me with my guest list many times.

Damn, that Walrus sounds GOOOOOOD!
Might just have found my first od pedal ever!
Always just relied on the dirt I could push my amps into,- but this......
Sonic bliss incarnate!
Good job, Walrus Audio.
Youv´e gotten yourselves a new customer,- and I´m a metal head!
What do you know?
dang this is EXACTLY what i wanted to see someone do with the Bonsai! Thanks for this
I am just not a TS guy. But even a show about pedals that you don’t like helps you to eliminate “what if” questions. I now know that I don’t need any of those pedals for my own style. Thanks Dan and Mick.
See, it’s all useful right?
Finally the episode I've been waiting for but you missed out my poor man's favourite - the Bad Monkey ;-)
Ok.. the best strat tone EVER at the begginin'.. well done mr. Taylor!
Ah come on. Go and listen to Philip Sayce and Matt Schofield immediately! Cleanse yourself!
Maaaaan! Get in! Killer tone right from the start!
I like every mode of the Bonsai better than the pedal is emulates. Just my taste. Hats off to JHS!
@fastguitar yes and it's great. Cheapet than a real ts10 and you wouldn't be able to tell then apart. All the patches are great copies but I love the ts10,MSL and ts9 best

First thing is first, you guys got the lighting in the room right! Looking great while sounding great.
Sold on the Warhorn!! Dan on the Tele, yeah man smoking tone!!!
My buddy dropped me off the Bonsai pedal a few weeks ago just to mess with it. I'm not a Tubescreamer kinda guy but if I needed to get one I'd NO DOUBT get the JHS Bonsai. I'm 61 and loves me some FUZZ!! :) Killer playing as always dudes!! Shalom fromThe Big Sky Country of Lakeside MONTANA USA!!!

Hooray. Please tell them that. :0)
Hooray. Please tell them that. :0)
Wow. That sidecar is inspiration for days. I'm having a happy Dan moment over here. It was worth suffering all those awful green sounds for that :D
Right on! Glad to see that I'm not the only one that can get lost doing riffs!
I always keep going back to my vintage 1980 TS808. To me, vintage is king. Analogman Silver Mod TS9 is a very, very good modern compromise. Wish you guys had the TS808HW in this one. It's a different tonal take on the tube screamer. Very warm, would sound great for fusion guitar.
That green strat you have Mick inspired me to put the same type of knobs on my strat. Love the vibe.
Blame John Mayer - it was his idea! They’re old Fender amp knobs. :0) Cheers!
I didn't realize it was a john mayer strat, until you said it in the video. I saw it on one of your old videos and hunted down what the knobs were. Bought them a few months ago. instagram.com/p/Bhe-CcIhEQH/?
So pleased to see the Audio Kitchen amp on the show, they're sooooo good!
Yep, Dan here, it’s a revelation
Thanks, Tim!
That fly landing on Mick's face and Mick saying we're not scum, I promise, has to be the best moment yet! The tears of laughter and a sore stomach made my day GENTS!
I bought a Bad Monkey to let my Lionheart L5T-112 sound a bit better at appartment volume. Did the job. ☺ After seeing this show i'm willing to upgrade!
Wow, you're 1K away from 150K subs - congrats in advance!!
To hell with the screamers. That Sidecar, holy hell! 😳
Almost sounds a little Derrick Trucks at around 43!! KILLER
that is THE mayer sound thats insane! I love it!
Great show again guys, love the walrus pedal.
Nice play at the beginning Dan😊
I still can't get my head around Dan's tele - that thing pushes the amp like crazy .. always. Love it.
I’ve listened to constantly for nearly three years now. Mick here. It’s total anathema to me. Wonder if we could go to Fender and have them diagnose it?
Surreptitiously swap out the pups while he's down at the pub. That's a sentence I didn't think I'd ever say.
You think I leave my tele at home when I go down the pub? ;)
2 minutes in: Can we say comfort zone!!? Go Mick!
Thank you. Although I was blimmin struggling on that guitar. It needs to go somebody for a serious setup. Beyond me at this point!
I wants me a Walrus. In the musical sense....obviously!
Always love those opening guitar improvisations. That look on Dans face (at the 1:00 mark)when he anticipated the exact riff Mick was about to toss in, almost like he'd heard the sequence a time or 2 before... ;)
I love how Dan just melts over the sound in the beginning =)
You be in a room when Mick plays like that and see how you hold up ;)
I have no doubts at all. If I ever am in the area ... =)
One day....
Best players & demos on RUclips. A fantastic oasis during a year of lock-downs in L.A. ☮️
Thank you. Our very best to the city of angels!
The joy in both your faces is the cherry on the cake. Truly genuine content. If you had to pick one of the Sidecar or the Warhorn, which would it be? I'd love to try the Sidecar at 18v or 24v.
Sidecar for me - Mick here. I usually prefer my pedals at 9 volts, so it’d be 18 if that’s the lowest next available option. Cheers!
Best of all tube screamer videos! Can't get over the warhorn and sidecar. Think I need both... Because tone.....
This might not be a popular opinion, but I think the best sound of the whole video was the RYRA 808. It has a little more life and sparkle than the TS808 and even the JHS. You guys really came to life as players when it came on- like, it inspired you. It sounded like a TS, but just a really good one with a touch of "magic" so to speak. That said, I doubt I'm going to buy one...
Back in the nineties I bought a distortion pedal, which was my only guitar pedal until like two years ago when I started playing electric a bit more again. Only when I started watching guitar gear RUclips videos I checked what that pedal actually was - a Tubescreamer TS10 :) I was a bit disappointed that it wasn’t the famous original TS, but it’s still a nice pedal.
I bought my Tube Screamer TS10 at a Thrift Store for $6.00 ! That's SIX BUCKS!!!! It is a 1986 Model made in Japan so it has the JRC 4558 in it. I opened it and checked. Best deal I ever got. It is in mint condition too. :)
You can tell Dan is from Australia, didn't raise an eyebrow about the fly. From 1 Aussie to another.
Best channel on RUclips, keep up the great work.
Ah, cheers cobber ;)
The accent didn’t give it away?
Heyyy, that's my Big Chopper! Can't believe it took me this long to find the vid, ya'll are awesome as always. Rock on!
I love how dan sat in a dreamy state while mick played the intro
I almost picked up a bonsai but instead got the new Mythos Herculean V2 & have no regrets because it is ace!! 👌
I recently came back to using a tube screamer after many many many years. For the longest time I just couldn't get the slight clean poking through to work for me. I stack it into my JHS Morning Glory and WHOA! The TS sound I'd been looking for. (And poor Mick being violated by that fly!) 😅
Great Show Dudes!!!!! That Sidecar pedal is RULING!!! Bonzai clearly doest it all!! Thanks!!!
Awesome sounds! Thank you
A really good comparison of some great pedals, thanks for this.
Hello from the US (Central Daylight Time)! I just woke up to find this video in my queue and I’m enjoying it whilst eating my breakfast! Cheers, TPS gang!
Good day to you sir. A man should breakfast heartily.
This show always makes me want to go play guitar. 👍
Mick has been getting some practice in ;) killer licks and killer tone, well done boyos
Just cooking an awesome tea (ketogenic diet curry) whilst watching Mick and Dan. Life has peaked 🤘😎🤘
I spent the majority of the 80's playing my butterscotch Tele through an Ibanez UE300 (CS9/TS9/CP9) and a Yamaha E1005 delay into a '65 Vibrolux Reverb.... didn't realize at the time what I had, and I've been spending most of my last 15 years trying to get BACK to that sound!!
Ha! Excellent. I think most of us have similar experiences with gear, whatever it is. It’s happening all the time... lots of tube amps are going to get re-bought in the next 5-10 years. That’s all I’m saying. Mick here. ;0)
That Pedal Show And here I am thinking about a Kemper...
Gain/fuzz based episodes are what I live for. Some of the best tones come from these. Funny enough I was never interested in fuzz until your show covered them. Great vid!
Matt38977897 - ha! Same with me! I think the analogman fuzz show really did it for me, those pedals are so musical. I have played big muffs etc and its just a wall of noise with no dynamics. Cant get into it. But the AM fuzz is much different...playable.
Ryan Hill yes! The sun face fuzz’s! Same here!
Ten seconds in and already it seems like Mick is in his happy place
Great playing and great video guys! I loved every SRV sounding minute.
Always nice to watch you guys. Great job as usual.
Mick's playing has improved substantially! Awesome licks!
(Welcome, you must be new then).. I am dying 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahhaa!!!!!
Obviously, flies dig great tone too!
Simon; well played sir, a dignified yet funny response. 😁
Mum, quick, Dan's doing the FACE again!
So glad to see the SD-1w on there. I thought it a bit odd that the Bonsai would have the OD-1 and not the SD-1.
Matt Stanley YMMV, but to me SD-1 > all the others.
JHS explains in other videos that the OD1 was really the first TS pedal, hence its inclusion and not the SD1.
..love Mick’s taste for strats..(..and playing isnt bad at all...haha..wonderful as always!...dan’s too;)
Btw..just got my Bonsai 2weeks ago...love it..not gonna use all 9 of them probably..but 5-6 most certainly...)
Thank you sir!
The Bonsai is really, really, really good. :0)
Ahhhh, 1 PM on Friday afternoon - Time to close down the working week with some TPS in the office 😁
haha, exactly what I do. :D
That TS10 really make that strat sing.
The SD-1 was my first pedal ever (back in the mid 90s) and it still is my favorite overdrive. I had a feeling but I didn't realize how similar to the tube screamer it is.
TS9 still beat all the fancy pedals😂 All sounded good because the playing
Okay, I have to be honest. Seriously, I'd rather hear you guys improvise than hear any other music in existence. Love to you both!
Woah! Thanks!
And here we see, A wild Mick, in it's natural habitat
Holy crap, the Sidecar slays.
Wow. That TS10 really is a different sound. Might have to save my pennies and track one down!
Just get the Bonsai. You will have different Tube Screamers for different rooms & amps. Its really good. Spot-on. Check-out Andy Martin's Demo - going 1 on 1 Bonsai vs. Actual Pedals. Pretty Impressive. ( and I am a Fulltone OCD guy )
Simon freezing the fly on Micks face😂. Great TPS! Walrus Audio sounds great!
That’s what we pay him for. ;0)
I don’t know how I missed this show. Great playing, Mick! I absolutely love my TS-10. It’s my favorite TS; I’ve had the 808, TS-9 (modded and unmodded) and a TS-5. I recently built a 10 clone and in some ways like it better. It’s like a boutique TS-10 with mods. But there is something about the 10 that the clone doesn’t have. Funny, I feel I still need both. Haha
Suggestion for a possible future show: Different types of Clipping - symmetrical, asymmetrical, op-amp, etc...
I recently bought a Bonsai, and it is truly phenomenal. The XR and TS9 settings are my favorites, used in low gain settings with the clean channel on the amp driven to just before breakup.
@fastguitar i find that each and every one of the screamers reproduced here is excellent in its own way. I still prefer those two because they do it for me: low gain boost with amazing transparency, letting a good sounding guitar keep its individuality.
Nice video!! After this, you can do a video about a "transparent" overdrive, like BD-2, Timmy, Klon, or something like that..! Cheers guys! Ciao!
