That was a really thorough demo. That pedal sounds very close to the high on fire guitar tone that so many people Chase.. I like the versatility of that pedal. The mids and the presents change sound so drastic it sounds good just about any setting you use it for. For someone like me that just do Studio work that would be a perfect petal for a lot of the tones that I constantly and searching for recording. I'm definitely going to be going for one of these on the 26th. Thanks for another awesome video.
Mine just arrived a few hours ago. Loven it. Came back to get some tips on dialing a tone zone. I'm a noob. Only my second pedal. And I'm using a boss katana mk2 artist, of which i velcroed the Iommic patch that Steve sent right under the boss logo. It looks killer like it was meant to be there
I don’t really play guitar anymore but if I did I’d buy this in a heartbeat. I have Baghdad on my running playlist and when it comes on that tone rips through my soul like a god damn chainsaw.
Just got mine about a week ago, and I love it. It’s mean and thick, but surprisingly well mannered. It’s not like a high gain fuzz or distortion, this thing is quite articulate and gets really tight with a boost in front. It’s got a huge range of tones, I’ve gotten some really nice light overdrive type tones, all the way up to some filthy death metal (with a boost/OD). I prefer running it in front of the amp, and using my fx loop for my gate and reverb/delays. Although it does sound killer in the loop as well. As for stacking with other pedals, it’s great either before or after most things I’ve tried. The key with this guy is to run the gain, depth, and drive quite low, to get that light overdrive thing going, then kick on whatever fuzz or distortion you have, and the end result is just thick and huge. Or run it on its own and you got HoF in a box, which is sick. Amazing pedal, worth every penny in my opinion.
Haha I agree. This thing sounds like it eats the FET for breakfast. Do you still have yours? I remember you mentioning it being a trickier one to dial in. After just revisiting your video on the FET, I definitely prefer the sound of this. I know they’re not entirely comparable with the Soldano preamp being in the Baghdad, but definitely in the same realm.
@@TheDistortionPrinciple really? Surprisingly, the FET120 is one of my favorite pedals (but I'm usually running a two amp rig and sometimes smashing the fet with a dirty tree boost - (sometime blending with a parallel mixer) - That new DiD does sound good - but I think I'm done with $200+ dirt pedals ( how many DiD pedals do I "need"? 🤘🤣💥) The fet120 just ALWAYS delivers real world (non IR/processed) inspiration for me
I'd probably just throw it in the effects loop as its two stacked preamps not sure if a third preamp would make it better. But Honestly you have one the best amps in the world I'd just ditch the pedals.
@@TheDistortionPrinciple - yeah...I've missed out the last few runs, - seems the prices are holding pretty good on used ( when they are available) - might pick one up if the availability, my money, and the planets all seem to align...🤘😜💥
I hate being broke I want one of these so bad. You sold me on a Dronemaster a while back and now you're selling me on one of these 😂 I can only imagine boosting the Baghdad with the Dronemaster 🥵
@@TheDistortionPrinciple the Dronemaster makes everything so percussive 😂 I run it into my orange micro dark then send the FX send of the micro dark into the input of my marshall origin as if it were a pedal and into a 4x12, it's obnoxious 😂
@@TheDistortionPrinciple I mainly did it because I love the gain of the orange, but it has no low end, even sending it to the FX return of the origin. So I took the FX send and put it into the front of the origin like a pedak because it has tons of low end, but no gain. Even with the origin gain dimed and the Dronemaster dimed into it it's not really enough and it kinda flubs out by that point. So now I have the best of both worlds I guess haha I'd stack pedals into the origin but I don't have a pedal power supply to run multiple at once without noise because they're expensive and like I mentioned I'm broke lmao. The origin is a cool amp but I regret not getting the 50, the 20 has crossover distortion and that's part of why it's flubby and harsh sometimes
@@TheDistortionPrinciple last question I promise: if you had to choose between The Pharoah, Pharoah Supreme, Priestess or Crown of Horns, which would you choose?

Thanks man! Yea its a great one to have in your studio tool bag hitting i with an Overdrive for tight metal tones is fun too
Thanks but I don’t need any more encouragement to buy this lol
They go on sale today lol
Killer demo and playing bro. I think this pedal will be an absolute classic. It's perfect.
Thanks! And yea its a tone everyone needs in their tool bag
Steve usually hits the mark on his creations (especially the Warlord). I bought one of these yesterday. I cant wait to try it.
Turn it up and go buurrrrr
@@TheDistortionPrinciple my wife is gonna HATE it!
@@ABoyd1852 lol. Dont get in to much trouble
Awesome demo, Mark!
Easy when you got quality pedals to work with!

@@dirktucker77 alot of people like to try pedals on the acoustic amp model in those. Definitely try it straight into the amps fx loop
@@TheDistortionPrinciple okay i would not have thought of that. I will roll it
Nice Bro sounds brutal nice riffage🤘😎
Thanks!

Dude its such a great song
Dam that things good, that into sounded awesome great job 🤘
Thanks i wrote that part pretending to be matt pike 😆
@@TheDistortionPrinciple use it in your next song, great riff
@@TheDom122 might have to
Pretty killer circuit! Nails the tone! 🤘🤘🤘
Yea its damn filthy!
great demo! thanks dude. also I'm kinda jealous of that guitar! so sweet
Thanks, they are cool guitars

It really stacks very well woth pedals. And for the doomy side od things it has one of the coolest lower gain tones around
sounds most excellent.
Really very good! Works well in front on an amp, in the loop and even direct to cab m
@@TheDistortionPrinciple & I was going to pay my rent this month... ha ha jokes on you landlord! GAS wins again!
@@R1GAMBLER tell them i said it is ok to skip rent this month
Nice Woodrite guitar. That pedal sounds nasty in all the best ways. Reminds me a bit of my old Blackout Effectors Blunderbuss hybridfuzz.
Yea! And the pedal with that guitar is just *chefs kiss*
Should have taken your shirt off to achieve ultimate Pike tone!!!
It was considered lol
Belly tone
THIKK BOI T O N E
Another awesome video as usual man! Sounds absolutely brutal. A comparison between it and the FET120 would be interesting.
Thanks! That wouldnt be fair. Fet120 cant hang!

@@christopherkennedy873 thats the cool thing about the modern market. So many choices and theres something for everyone
I think I may be wanting one of these petals...yeah...I'm sure of it.
Do it! I just hit it with an sd1 and it got a great metal tone as well
@@TheDistortionPrinciple I will and will try that...BTW you did a great job demoing the petal..
@@guntotinguy16 thank you! Trying to streamline my videos a bit
@The Distortion Principle Your welcome brother...good job at the streaming idea...keep it up!
Fucking sick pedal…. Great playing to 🔥
Thanks!
Does it makes sense to add this to a board that already has the Frost Giants Architect of Reality?
They will give you different tones ao i think so
It sounds great, but just for the AOR and this is over £300 to get to the UK, so will sadly have to miss out on this for now.
Hopefully you can snag one down the line
I'm new to using pedals like this. I've got an orange rockerverb mkiii. Would I run a pedal like this on dirty or clean channel?
I'd probably just throw it in the effects loop as its two stacked preamps not sure if a third preamp would make it better. But Honestly you have one the best amps in the world I'd just ditch the pedals.
Try the fx return or the clean channel
does this pedal need an impulse response/amp sim if i wanted to plug it into my scarlet audio interface and record on garageband?
@@cooldrew117 I'll check and see but I'd say som I run it into a two notes opus and use the power amp sim and cabs
Heavy, but not fizzy at all. Nice playing.
Thanks! This pedals gonna be a classic down the road
A bit later in - how are you liking it?
Still holding up? ( did you get it, or was it just a demo- loaner?)
I sold it when i needed some money badly. I would definitely love another
@@TheDistortionPrinciple - yeah...I've missed out the last few runs, - seems the prices are holding pretty good on used ( when they are available) - might pick one up if the availability, my money, and the planets all seem to align...🤘😜💥

This really reminds of the giygas pedal.
I forgot about that one. Been meaning to try it
Great vid. What was the guitar tuning?
C and thanks!
@@TheDistortionPrinciple thanks for the response. Q for you: is the Pharoah your favourite all-rounder fuzz?
@@MrSleskus for that muff style you cant really go wrong with it
@@TheDistortionPrinciple last question I promise: if you had to choose between The Pharoah, Pharoah Supreme, Priestess or Crown of Horns, which would you choose?
@@MrSleskus i wasbt huge into the crowns . Never tried a priestess so i would probably grab that or the normal pharaoh
I wonder what it sounds like if you tune to B,A,G,D,A,D.
Like the sky cracking open and tearing the universe apart!
@TheDistortionPrinciple post a video using that tuning!
@@JakelikejakefromSF4936 i wish i still had the pedal to do so! May try to order the new colorway
