    Great out of the box demo. Just joined as a lifetime member and am really digging the lessons. I can always use a pedal, so if you pick me, cool. That being said, I’m sure there are others whose need outweighs my need. Keep up the great work, Michael! Thanks!

    Cory has been a big influence on my recent studies! I was never into funk or much other than rock. I heard his grooves and instantly thought i had to learn some of his riffs! Glad I did as he led me into deeper funk rabbit holes and thus learning more styles and getting out of my 20 year rock box. lol Loved hearing you open up with some cool riffs and chick pouncing stuff Michael. Your channel has definitely caused inspiration for me recently and I thank you! Also loving the new upgraded SRV and blues DVD concerts you led us to recently! Thanks for all you do and please keep it up!

    Love the “does it sound good to you” mindset (no preconceived notions), that’s the way I’ve tried to operate the past couple years and what made me sell all my vintage fender amps for Ampegs!! Sounds killer, been wanting to check one of these out!!

    • @SimpleManGuitars1973
      @SimpleManGuitars1973 2 года назад

      I've always greatly preferred demos recorded with the most basic of audio because it seems like most people add tons of post production to the sound and then it doesn't really winding up being what the pedal truly "sounds" like. When I was getting my Sola Sound Tone Benders there were quite a few vids of it online with the new Boss one and they all sounded like they were made in a pro studio which is fine but I feel that to get the true sound of it you should just hear it unfiltered and raw. I made a few little vids on my channel just plugged straight into an AC30 with a few different guitars just to show what they truly sound like and even some of the guys that made really good "professional" vids of them told me they thought mine sounded good as well and I literally recorded it on a Samsung phone. LOL!

  • @stuarthoopfer963
    @stuarthoopfer963 2 года назад +1

    I love the major/subtle changes to the sound when you switched on the OD. I’m a huge fan of playing with slight overdrive for a change in feeling and even more distortion for even more intensity! Would love this and I would suggest to do more gear reviews. Not all the time but once every month for something that has made you feel that you need to share! Thanks 😊

    Love the raw footage and would love the pedal. Not for myself but for my son. He needs something to kick start him into playing again after a year of dealing with a new premature baby. My grandson is fine and this would be the perfect treat for his dad. I’m in Canada but would pay the extra shipping costs. Fingers crossed. Keep being you, Michael.

    I’m so excited Cory is on the come up the way he is. I was in a guitar slump for a LONG time, then I started playing his tunes and seeing how enthusiastic he is about playing and I’ve tried to adopt the same mentality. All around he has my vote for the hardest working guitarist out there currently. I’d love to try this pedal and his strat (if I had the cash). Thanks Michael!

    Michael , I'm gonna keep it real and brief. After some rough life experiences over the past year, I've realised how precious this life truly is. I guarantee there is someone else out there that deserves this more than myself , which is why I'm content without winning a prize. You are why I'm here. Since the very first quarantine ( late to the party) when I found your channel, you've not only brought me joy through you and music you showcase, but also gave me the drive to put 110% into playing.

    Vibe sounds killer. Overdrive 1 is definitely my favourite. Quite a nice sustain. Definitely there's some juicy stuff. This overdrive's power would definitely make my neighbours deaf :D That'd be so cool to be able to test this beautiful pedal playing my telecaster from California as a present from my dear father. Your playing is contagious. Thanks for coming back. I guess everybody needs a moment to breath. And It's never too late to come back, we sometimes have to stop in the present moment & take as much time as we have to, even if it's not convenient. Because then, things happen for a reason and you come back the way you do now, full of energy, with devotion and new ideas. And there is this spark in your eyes I haven't seen in a long time. I appreciate you being here the teacher for all of us. With all due respect, everybody needs to breathe. Sometimes we suffocate & we don't even know it. Some air was definitely required :) Greetings & Love from Poland Michael! Cheers!

    Thank you so much for the content. I started playing about 15 months ago and definitely have the pedal bug...they keep me inspired and most importantly keeps me playing. It sounds great. I don't have much extra money to spend on pedals, so if you want to send the extra one my way that'll be cool. I enjoyed your last video where you opened up to us...that hit me. I appreciate it. I am fairly new to your channel and started following you after I saw a few of your reaction videos. I look forward to more coming from your universe. Peace.

    I saw Cory in Nashville a few weeks back. The genuine joy on stage between his musicians was electric. Every member of the band had their opportunity to shine and not an single shred of ego was out there. I’ve been in so many good bands where egos and distractions have been the downfall, admittedly I’m to blame in some cases. All though the banner said Cory wong, it was never about him. I have a whole new outlook after seeing this dude. I was a fan of the music before, now I’m a fan of the person Cory is. (Guitars for kids?! Heck yes!) It makes me so happy to see the success and attention he’s starting to gain for one of the hardest working musicians in the industry.
    And yes of course i want that pedal if you’re just giving it away! 😂
