    This might help if you want to compare tones after you watch the video:
    Black Tea 1:55
    Summer Orange 4:02
    Kaffir Lime 8:14
    Sweet Cream 14:21
    Tape Machine 19:50
    Mandragora 23:19

      @kdc300z 9 лет назад +2

      @TastyChavelle of course Rob is great. With a cool personality to boot. I prefer Bea's cleans as well as the Capt. To me, Rob's cleans aren't ever really clean and he strums so hard it's percussive. Doesn't mean I don't like Rob, all these guitarists run circles around me.

    • @MarioFromMario
      @MarioFromMario 9 лет назад +1

      kdc300z I definitely agree with this. I feel like Rob doesn't really demonstrate clean-tones as well as I'd like. Especially as someone who plays clean-tones the majority of the time.

    I have to say, I am a Nashville native and have been playing guitar for going on 16 years and you guys are by far my favorite RUclips guitar/music-based channel. Great job keeping the videos "light" and "straight to the point". Was wanting you all to do more of these mini TC and mini Tone city pedals through an Orange TH model. Im a little late to the party, but I am pretty sure that you all have not done that sort of video yet..?.. Thx again for the great material!!

    I am a bedroom player and these things are great. Lots of different tones from minimal space. Very dynamic! I live in the US. I bought 4 of these pedals from Anderson's. They aren't yet widely available here in the US. The price even with shipping was cheaper than if I ordered through other places in North America.

    That first pedal was hand down one of the best tones you guys have ever had... Maybe also the pickups in that PRS and the victory too, but damn.... God damn....

    Bea best get a CC on the 26:40 lick or put out the song.
    Lee was right to pick up on it, that was really great for some diversity in their music.
    I always like to watch Bea play, he's a thinker as he's pushing 150+ BPM and his mouth is moving left to right... thinking where he wants to take it next.

    I bought the Plexi and Fuzz. They are well built, work good and I really like the fact they didn't put the rubber on the bottom so you don't have to fight with that if you are using Velcro. The one thing I don't like about them is the power plug in is on the side which is a minor issue depending on the patch cables you are using. Over all they well worth the money.
