The Pedal sounds so crisp and tight !! xx
Pirate ship rock love it
This pedal pairs perfectly with my twin. With the clean headroom of the twin, it can go from fender cleans to a very convincing Marshall drive just like that. My favorite setting though is running the treble at about 2 o clock and the gain at about 8 o clock with a strat… think Pearl Jam yellow Ledbetter tones. Just a liiiiiitttle bit of crunch, but transparent enough to still hear it’s a twin reverb. Excellent pedal!
I know I am the only one who feels this way but the pro- tool super processed compressed concoction of edited earlobe assault takes Pete's incredible awesomeness and speedbags it's nuts. For me, all of these 'O' faces and wardrobe changes would be so fucking great if there was just Pete shredding with a single high quality room mic ……all practical so to speak…no cgi
great sound under great hands my friend. when you played only the pedal (minute 4:27), did you leave the system? If so, which attenuator and/or simulator did you use? Thank you 🙂
pete's neighbors trying to walk across the room, leaning forward but being pushed backwards like they are walking into a 300mph head wind!!
Another way to use this is as a mid-boost for added sustain. Turn all of the eq knobs all the way to almost off, leaving the mid knob at 12:00. cut the gain to 9::00 and the volume to 3:00.
Marshall sounds a lot better. It is much more readable. I don't know where you hear that it is muddy?
tasteful and beautiful playing!
aaa+++
Greatest tone ever? Thats my harley with martin bros exhaust on a late nite run to the river…but my Plexi is a close second
In my opinion this is a great video. And proof that you can't replace a tube amps beautiful glassy warm tone
Pete could play a shitty $100 guitar played through a shitty Behringer amp and make it sound killer !
Wow the Marshall sounds so perfect the pedal is nowhere near . But nice of u to do this!!! Thxx
The only think wrong is that most players play in clubs or bars and to get that tone from a super lead Marshall, it has to be cranked as Pete said, ungodly loud for a typical venue, even outside so, this pedal would be great for a Super lead.
Great tone and incredible playing. Nice Stray Cat Strut intro ????
The structure switch is odd. It doesn't seem to do much of anything. I have just received the pedal and had to watch some videos to see if it does next to nothing in other people's pedal as well.
Wow. I can't believe how similar they sound. To me the Marshall sounds more defined when you hit single notes within a chord. Other than that, they are almost identical. I'm getting one. I have a 50 watt JCM combo from the 80s, and it just doesn't do it in the gain department.
Sounds really close to real deal, pedal has more creamy sound, great pedal and demo!
I was sceptical, as I've tried one of these plexi-in-a-box before, but sh*$%t! Was quite surprised. I think I still like the slightly looser gain structure of the amp though. I have a small box lead so I need to say that.
The Marshall sounds brighter.
I prefer the SB pedal.
01:02 Goosebump skin alert!!!
What a great demo of a killer pedal. I agree with Pete (and most of the rock guitar players on the planet) about the sound of an old non-master Marshall. Magical. Friedman has captured this sound in a pedal perhaps better than anyone.
Pete recording an album with sammy and the Circle would likely be epic.
Did you try the Formula B Super Plexi yet? You should do a video testing that one.
Very good demo. (Does the secret switch make it go to 11?)
The pedal missing the 'clang' of the cranked Plexi. Sounds great though.
There is just a certain 'clang' of output tube screamer
Now when someone makes a cranked Plexi in a box, now that would be cool.
this or the Bogner La Grange
RESPINES
My gain switch on the side is backwards… On my pedal, when the gain is turned way up and the switch is in the up position, it's low gain, with the switch down it is noticeably more gain.
Anybody else have this situation? Should I return it in case of a defect?.
Great demo! What’s a good clean amp to run a pedal like this into? I’m looking for a 1×12 combo with Fender cleans that would sound like this with the small box going into the front.
Thanks!
Whith the pedal is better
The pedal need a little compressor
Seeing you play … between the fact that on the one hand it motivated me, seeing everything that can be done with a guitar, and on the other hand, it demotivated me … Because it is not common to see and hear someone like that play on YouTube … Other youtubers (in Spanish I mean), can be very good, but they all do the same … You give it a unique touch … I was impressed with the pedal and your playing style … Greetings from Chile (this is in the south of America …)
as much as I love Pete and his top notch demos, I simply can’t trust them. dude can make anything sound incredible
I've been browsing through a lot of reviews of this pedal. And I found that the gain structure switch is not consistent. Some reviews show that the upper switch gives more gain while others show that it just cuts off the saturation and that the lower position seem to have more gain. I wonder if it is a manufacturing flaw or they released 2 versions of it.
I like the amp better but they both sound great – note separation is awesome
I never clicked on a video that had so many pop up advertisemsnts and commercials.
