Your tone is always Amazing! This vid makes me cry to play.. My house was robbed 4 days ago and my gear and kids presents were stolen by some peice of unholy crap. But these videos keep my focus on point! Stay safe out there Rob🤙🇺🇸🙏
Greeting Rob from Iowa, in the States. I have to tell you that when you put your teaching hat on I can see why you have such a loyal subscriber base. Those who have followed you for a long time already knew that you are a great teacher and now that you have given us newcomers a taste of what you can do, I hope that there will be many more of these little gems. Great job and thank you for your commitment.
Long-time guitar player here, and I enjoyed your explanation of the versatility of overdrive pedals. Merry Christmas to you, Chappers, and to everyone!
Very nice explanation Rob! I’ve watched a million videos on pedals, and most of the stuff they say makes it sound so complicated. This gets right to the point and gives useful information I can use immediately.
Thank you 🙏 Rob I’ve been trying to get that sound for ages and have been using a single screamer in front of amp on my pod go . Doubled them up and a little tweaking 💥 there it is 👌 much appreciated sir
Thank you Chappers, just what I have been needing, easy to understand instruction, no faffing about and waffling for half an hour which just annoys the living daylights out of me on other channels where they just try and make crap jokes and show off. More of the same please, straight to the point and simple.
Rob dropping in commentary of what could have been or maybe was and did not get released... classic... that pedalboard of yours is always so direct and to the point... maybe stacking 3 fuzz pedals is something only I do...
Merry Christmas and great video Rob! I used to record and play live with a Roland JC120 (Jazz Chorus) solid state amp with two 12” Roland speakers; the amp was true stereo with each trans amp getting its own speaker. Wonderful combination until I lost both JC120s in a house fire. Fortunately I had the Ibanez TS9 pedal at home and it still kicks solid state amps into sweet O.D. Next year I’ll replace it with a smaller JC amp. Rock on!
PS: forgot to mention I used this setup with strat copies on either position #1 (woman tone) or #2 (rhythm & middle pickups) and got the “go to” rhythm sound. On #4 (mifddle & bridge) it was more Harrison-friendly and on #5 (lead) it would cut through for solos. Still have that strat and others!
Thank you Rob. Very informative and I like the way you explain the difference between single coil and Humbucker. I'm in my 70s and very new to electric guitar and pedals it can be very confusing. I think I have a little bit better understanding of how this all works.
Thank you for this! Now for me, it's always just finding that magic combo cause I am always going between single coils and humbuckers a lot cause I play many different styles.
Ha ha! I was on the right track but felt like an idiot for having multiple ODs on my board but was digging using them for different things. One to drive and break up a little before a metal muff, and one to push the cleans a bit. I'll have to try this out!
I’ve been playing for some time and this was still a very informative video. I have a few ODs stacked similarly. I’d be really interested in the “complicated” stuff you cut out of the final video or a bit more advanced lesson. My Vox AC15 doesn’t have a gain knob, so most of my OD comes from pedals when using low-mid volume.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Rob. Great vid ...just what I've been looking for. I've been playing for a number of years but my job keeps me moving around do i play mostly unplugged. I watch a lot of vids on pedals but was initially baffled by some of the terminology.....'bright' means more treble....'dark' means more bass etc etc. Also I had no idea that 'level' was the volume and 'drive' meant more distortion. I'd appreciate more individual pedal breakdowns like this as I'm sure, like me, there are many players who've been playing for years yet know next to nothing regarding pedals. For example, I understand there are sequences in a pedal 'chain' where you would place different types of pedals.
Hi Rob, I would like to hear you explain overdrive, distortion and different types of clipping, like wot you av filumd. I know a bit about this stuff, but I’d like to hear it epxlained by you because you are concise, charismatic and entertaining.
Love my behringer TO800 tube overdrive for home use with my little 5w tube head and 1x12 cab! Great pedal for the home use setting. Very close to the ibanez ts808
Rob, with that hat and your beard, you should crank out some big southern hardcore/ sludge/ stoner riffs sometime. Some hybrid picking mixed with some big chunkiness.
great lesson......took me a long time to realize i don't need more gear...i need to fully utilize the gear i have but most guitar players say little pedal, big pedal, humbuckers-yes please
Haha awesome XD i actually ordered a lil heat and a durple to try that xD ... oh great he also grabs the guitar im desperatly waiting for aswell ... nice Video ! xD
do a all metal/deathmetal fender setup. Like a twin reverb with fender pedals to get the right tone, and either a strat/tele or a baritone jm/fender bass vi. Hell if you can find a 7 sting squier or know someone with one of those custom shop 7 string ag strats, use that. I gotta see and hear all fender metal.
That's how I try to use my Soul Food > TS8 Mini. Soul Food brightens the sound and adds A LOT of volume and crunch into sound, TS8 gets that compression. I still can't get it all tuned out right with the amp since the guitar is new, but yeah this is a great way to use pedals, I was surprised when I've learnt about it.
Very nice! But it might also be an interesting other way or solution to show to people, how to use a germanium transistor equipped "Treble Booster" into the tube amp. In conjunction with extensive use of the guitars volume knob a big "range" ;-) of more and less overdriven sounds are to achieve. (And how it tightens the bass and pronounces the upper mids to "cut through" in any situation, which might not be the most pleasant sound heard "alone", but is super useful in a band context and in a mix context.) For bedroom volume purposes a reactive power soak might have to be added. This would be a great opportunity to show it, too!
If you have a humbucker but you only have on amp distortion, if you set it to the right level you can use the pick-up selector switch as a poor mans distortion pedal (although there's still a tiny bit of distortion on the single coil). Works with the Blues setting on a Line 6 if you set the gain knob to the right position. Useful as to my ears the Line 6 doesn't have Overdrive (which I understand as being distortion you can control with how hard you play).
@KH_Guitars Hey was that this Rob Chapman whose apartment was shown on the news (Christmas day 2020 Nashville TN) after an Explosion 2nd st. Nashville,TN. I ask the question on the (news) video youtube and someone replied, it is this Rob Chapman, CORRECT OR NO ?? ruclips.net/video/PmPB3a7X9qI/видео.html
@@kh_guitars no problem man. Rob answered back on another comment. It’s a different Rob Chapman. I had the link up under my question from the news. They quoted “its Rob Chapman’s apt.” No problems.
Happy Christmas all and to you Chappers! Question, are you placing your pedals in series? Or are some of them going through the effects loop? Ie, are the tube screamers before or after the drive pedals, effects, etc.?
Wow, Merry Christmas to all. Not sure how I ran into this video but I sure am happy I did. I am a complete newby to learning guitar (about four months now). Rob, you did an excellent job explaining about and how to use Overdrive Petals. Not only did you answer all my questions I had but even answered questions that I hadn't even thought of yet. Great Job and thank you. Especially for explaining in a way that us noobs can understand it all. Subcribed.
Rob really dumb question here... since you typically want to run your time-based effects in the FX and your others in the front side of the amp. I have never really done that so (unexpectedly I hope) I have a question concerning the signal chain. Am I correct in assuming that typically you want to run your delay, chorus, and modulation effects in the FX loop? How would you hook that up in the Fx Loop? Does it go Send to the input-side of the effect then, the output of the pedal to return?
So, basicaly what you demonstrated is using another OD pedal to act as a lead channel on your amp. I really love this concept, cause you can put very different flavours to your current setup, without buying new amp. I also love to stack many OD pedals with gain low to add more and more dirt to my tone insteadof one dedicated super gainy pedal. To my ears, this sounds more natural.
And thank you for this lesson!! I don’t know when to use pedals half the time. Now I have a better understanding of overdrives. As mainly a singer for most of my life, I was only concerned about reverb
@@scotts.8460 I mean, they could be, but typically aren’t. Usually overdrives and mics use different cable connectors and the results would be...odd...anyway. Reverbs and even delays can be used with vocals, but this is more often done on a sound board rather than through pedals. To be fair, vocal effects pedals do exist, they’re not as universally used as pedals for guitar. I think what Wingdwolf meant was that he sings and plays guitar, but since the singing is his primary expertise he struggles how to understand where to use pedals with his guitar.
Greetings from Colorado, USA. I bought the Ghost Fret Bad Blood. That guitar and my EVH Wolfgang Special are my only two go to guitars when playing out. I did make one small minor change to your guitar. Where can I send a photo? I’m pretty sure you will approve. If you ever need an endorsement of that guitar let me know. I did see a review the other day of the guitar it was a good review but he kept talking about the clean channel. WHAT? Does someone buy this guitar for the clean channel? Anyway if you split the coil it cleans up very nicely. I do play it through and EVH 5150 III 6L6. And If I don’t know better I would swear those are Seymour Duncan pick ups. Bob
So I just heard about a company named Palace guitars that can build you almost anything you want for $400 - $800. Granted being aware they are made in china i have an idea of what the quality will most likely be. Having said that I still would like to give them a try but only problem being i cant really find any reviews of them or anything like that except straight from there site... Has anyone by chance heard about them or have used them by chance?
Happy Christmas folks! I get the opposite with my humbucker vs single coil, more output from the single coil... I could leave this comment as is and confuse some people, but I suppose I’ll point out the reason is that I have passive humbuckers in my SG, and the EMG T system (active) single coil on my home built tele 😉 Anyways, great video, as usual Rob. I don’t like to plug other peoples channels in video comments, but for folks still trying to understand ODs and soft clipping vs hard clipping vs transistors; so forth that you mentioned researching in the video, Josh over at JHS pedals did a video on their channel a couple of months ago that gives a really good explanation of the differences if anyone is looking for that info. Cheers!
I'll bet that NOT a lot of people know that with a TubeScreamer, "noon" on the tone control isn't "flat"... All the way to the left (or off) is "flat"... If ya don't believe that, give it a try... ;) Been playin 20+ years, and I recently found that out... Great video, btw, Chappers...
Not at all...A Tube Screamer will never be "flat". It will always have some sort of rc filter active when engaged. All the way to the bass side: When fully toward the (+) end, the R8C6 network will be placed in parallel with the low pass filter, resulting in a second order low pass filter, with a very low cut-off frequency that will remove all the treble. All the way to the treble side: When fully toward the (-) end, the R8C6 network will be placed as an active high pass filter, the network shunts feedback frequencies above 3.2KHz to ground. Resulting in a bandpass filter = R7C5 (LowPass) + R8C6 (HighPass).
I can't believe The Captain and Danish Pete haven't realised their good mates Rob Chapman and Rabea Massaad have been replaced by actors who look nothing like them. I mean they do the voices really well and all. But still.
Nah, it's really cold. Inside houses. We've got really thick walls and no central heating. Houses normally are kept warm by the sun but in winter there's not much sun and it's windy so walls, floors, ceiling, they're truly cold and you need to dress accordingly.
@@davedavem It is, that's why I've moved here ;) If you ever decide to give Malta another try: May, September and October are perfect. It's warm but not scorchingly hot. Kind of the sweet spot, weather wise. As a tourist winter is OK as well, staying in a hotel room with AC (that doesn't run on your dime) is very different from living in a regular house. When I moved here 2 years ago I only had stayed in hotels so I left the AC in my bedroom switched off. I'd come from Germany where it was -5°C or something like that and Malta was around 15°C so I though I'd be alright. HUGE mistake. I woke up in the middle of the night, shivering badly. So, yes, cold does actually mean COLD, even on Malta ;)

And its a great excuse to 'need' more pedals. ;)

But it might also be an interesting other way or solution to show to people, how to use a germanium transistor equipped "Treble Booster" into the tube amp.
In conjunction with extensive use of the guitars volume knob a big "range" ;-) of more and less overdriven sounds are to achieve.
(And how it tightens the bass and pronounces the upper mids to "cut through" in any situation, which might not be the most pleasant sound heard "alone", but is super useful in a band context and in a mix context.)
For bedroom volume purposes a reactive power soak might have to be added.

How does this compare with using a EQ pedal for tone sculpting?
EQ dont create distortion on their own. If you hit crunchy amp, it can make similar effect as OD pedal into clean amp.0

Chappers in summer: Malta is so hot! It's 40°C.
Chappers in winter: I need a beanie, Malta is cold for the first time ever! It's 38°C.

Nah, it's really cold. Inside houses. We've got really thick walls and no central heating. Houses normally are kept warm by the sun but in winter there's not much sun and it's windy so walls, floors, ceiling, they're truly cold and you need to dress accordingly.
@@saschaschneider6355 I've only ever been there in summer. So hot! Beautiful country.
@@davedavem It is, that's why I've moved here ;) If you ever decide to give Malta another try: May, September and October are perfect. It's warm but not scorchingly hot. Kind of the sweet spot, weather wise. As a tourist winter is OK as well, staying in a hotel room with AC (that doesn't run on your dime) is very different from living in a regular house.
When I moved here 2 years ago I only had stayed in hotels so I left the AC in my bedroom switched off. I'd come from Germany where it was -5°C or something like that and Malta was around 15°C so I though I'd be alright. HUGE mistake. I woke up in the middle of the night, shivering badly. So, yes, cold does actually mean COLD, even on Malta ;)
@@saschaschneider6355 glad you're happy you moved. My grandmother and two uncles lived there in the seventies and always talked about it. That was the reason for my visit 😊
Instead of saying chap is out just say....you've been Chapped lol
Its the rawr pedal!
