    Hi all, you might notice some odd artefacts or ghosting in the video, especially when moving my hands quickly on the fretboard. The editing software I use has just had a big update and this is out of my control, but doesn’t really effect watching it 👍🏼 cheers

    Cool! I was looking for something like this. I did change the String Singer side on my Duellist to be warmer because of a bright amp. Decided to changed it back when I switched to a more balanced amp. It's a truly useful option. Still contemplating the Vintage fuzz dip switches... Can't decide what I like better.

      Haha thanks 👍🏼 so in the first sort of 6-9 months of the channel that sort of info was peppered throughout, and then I did my All My Gear video at the beginning of this year 👍🏼 cheers

    Nice tones. The dip switches do sure give some versatility. King tone really makes some nice pedals!(except for the price). The fuzz is really smooth though!

    Fiddling with internal switches saved me from selling my Duellist. While side A is good to go as stock - I hated side B with its buzzy decay and weird lows. Side B went quickly from blah to awesome

    Great video James, I love this dip switch thing in those pedals. The only thing that put's me off the King Tone pedals is they appear to be designed to work with Strats/single coil style guitars. as you said SRV tones.

    • @JamesOnGuitar
      @JamesOnGuitar  3 года назад +1

      Cheers graeme 👍🏼 yes - definitely the duellist and blues power feel best with single coils and give that srv vibe! The fuzzes i would say work pretty well with anything. Ariel Posen uses a mini fuzz (the ge one) and his main guitar - that blue mulecaster with a type of mini humbucker and also his bespoke 335 type guitar go really well with it - he says live his drive goes Jan Ray > Broadcaster AP and then sometimes adds the fuzz to the jan ray too (you
      Must have seen this new rig rundown of yesterday?)

      @@JamesOnGuitar No I've not seen it. To be honest I was'nt too impressed with his new album. He seems to have softened to a more pop/soul type thing. His guitar sound is tamer and those great little instrumentals that peppered his first album have gone too. I was going to buy it from Bandcamp and thought I'd have a wee listen before hand, glad I did.

      That’s funny, i don’t really love the music either - his live performances are often great but i’m just sort of listening to the guitar - i often find the same with joey landreth and to a much larger extent same thing happened when i tried to listen to john mayer back in the day. Their guitar noodlings and tone are more what i have enjoyed, such as on the carter vintage videos for example

      @@JamesOnGuitar Agree with those two completely as well, another one who's recorded music is nowhere near as good as his Carter Vintage noodlings is J.D Simo.

    Loved the dip switch extravaganza. I too just leave my settings in the stock configuration. I guess Im not much of an amp tweaker. I love the King Tone but find it hard to come up with the new price. Im looking for used on reverb.
    I really enjoyed the Case guitar video. I instantly went to his web site to see if I could afford one of his guitars. They are beautiful. His semi hollow is outstanding and would get my money.
    Thanks for the videos, they are very enlightening. I am longing for the Morgan MVP23 versus the Mesa Boogie Fillmore. I am ready to pull the trigger on one of these amps but am torn between them. They both call to me !!!!
    Keep up the good work, love your channel.

      Funny - i am filming the mesa vs morgan video tomorrow probably for Sunday release :) any particular things you want to know?
      Yeah those Case guitars are seriously worth the money - beautiful to look at and to play 🤟🏼👍🏼
      Yeah, the king tone pedals are pricey, although they really fill that niche for great vintage sounds - especially the fuzzes 👍🏼

      @@JamesOnGuitar the morgan seems blues oriented and the boogie seems more rock n roll. If the boogie will do the syrupy blues thing too then is it the more versatile and probably the better buy? Or is the morgan good enough to do anything and then the better sounding choice ? I am a huge fan of Josh Smith and love his tone so i lean towards the Morgan but wonder if ill miss the two channel flexibility. Thanks for your thoughts on the matter. Bud dall and mobrules are both me. Two many accounts!!
