hi, i just want to know... which sounds better for alt rock/rock... the od3 or the bd2? i have a bd2.. and was planning to buy an od3..but i cant decide which one to keep... or should i keep both cause they have different areas of specification, whatever.. will wait for you reply..
Hi am a beginner to playin the guitar, could you please tell me what pedal would i need to get a sound of status quo, i have a line 6 spider iv 75w amp
It will work on bass yes. It may be advisable to use a bass specific overdrive tho, i have used guitar overdrives on bass before and the tonal range and affected frequencies dont sound as deep and rich as with a bass specific model
@craigmcarthur1 yeah i think you're right. For example it would better to use an Ibanez Phat-Hed on bass than an Ibanez Tube Screamer. I don't play either guitar or bass, I'm just saying what i've heard and read.
When u have posted vieos you can give out advice. I have about 5 BD-2 videos, they arent designed to be complete guides to the versatility of a pedal, just a quick snap shot of a partocular tone obtained
Depends which tube screamer. I dont tend to use it as a boost i use it more as a basic overdrive unit. There are better pedals out there for a boost. I have been using an SPF Ego Booster pedal, which works well. The classic ibanez tube screamers are good also. The Keeley modified boost units are great as a bbpre amps.
Just because it says blues on it doesnt mean it can only be used for blues. Its just an overdrive pedal that happens to bear that name. Tere is another demo video of me playing blues with this pedal and about 50 others on youtube
as a bluesplayer myself, i know that.... its just that at the time i was searching vids of people actually playing the blues with this pedal becuase i wanted to see if it was worth buying!
great job craig-5 stars! Unfortunately when boss named that pedal "blues driver" I think alot of people dont realize that it does more than just blues.
judging from that saucerful of secret poster behind you. im guessing you like david gilmour and pink floyd which is the only kind of music i like aswell :)
Hence why I have several video posts of each pedal to try and demonstrate othe aspects of the pedal using different guitars and amps. Also once you become a youtube partner you can look at the statistics attached to any given video. Videos that are too long or too detailed lose viewers half way thru, whereas short and simple retains people to the end.
I also resent people who dont post videos, but then complain about others who hav taken time to post and help people with gear decisions
Perhaps being a bit more specific and saying "just a blue Epiphone Les Paul" would be more helpful. Sweet little guitar. I have a 94 Epi LP Standard but I replaced the stock pickups real quick.
haha its really a great les pual i thikn its an epiphone i was going to buy that one but instead i bought the gold honey burst cuz its looks a bit shiny in the light
Yes thats exactly right. Its called a capo. Very commonly use guitar accessory, alot of singer song writers use it to shift simple chord patterns to different keys to suit their vocal range.
I use it on occasion as my otehr two band mates use 7 string guitars tuned with the lowest string to B. So if I put a capo on the 2nd fret my A string becomes B allowing me easy access to the key of B, one octave up from my bandmates.
Allright. Cool. How's the Dl4-mod? Is it worth the money? I've got a Keeley TR-2 too (suddenly the tremolo is one of my favourite pedals!) but I figured I shouldn't bother mentioning it since you use the line 6.
Its a subtle mod that I would only recommend if u are a serious tone nut.
I hate the Line 6 Tremolo it awful, i bought for one song we were recording in the studio to use the tap tempo function with. Was lookin at the Keeley TR-2. I dont use trem alot and when i do at the moment i am using the built in trem on my Mesa Boogie Tremoverb, but its limited.
Yeh okay. But like all Keeleys it's definetely worth a look (and its price for that matter). Good thing there isn't a mod for every pedal in the world. If there was I'd probably be broke! :P Keep up the good work, waiting for your EP dude.
nice vid witch pedal do you prefer a boss ce5 or the blues drive? and is that guitar worth the buy because im thinking about getting a epiphone les paul with the blue or the silverburst?
Cant really compare an overdrive with a chorus dude to be honest. I wouldnt buy eitehr pedal again if I lost tem tho. The BD-2 is great but the Keeley modified BD-2 is much better. There r better chorus unitsout there than the CE-5.
I use this guitar as a backup/alt tuning guitar. Its good yeh, epiphone make osme decent guitars in that price range.
Well this is just my practice setup, in my live rig I use two heads: a vintage Hiwatt 100and a Mesa Boogie Tremoverb controlled by a Gig Rig Pro 14 switching with a load of stomp boxes.
Here I am using a Line 6 Flextone II from which I use the various amp models for the basic amp sound, and I use the Boss GT6 for some effects (i.e delays, reverbs etc) connected thru the amps fx loop.
Plus I use the GT6 for recording rough guitar ideas onto the pc using its pre amps etc.
great video, bit off topic but i was wondering for boss pedals if you can you a daisy chain if you dont have a tuner? If anyone could would be a great help cause i got and im lookin into the RC-2
Hey man! which is the configuration of your BD-2?...I have it, but i dont like my sound, it sounds like a crash :S Man, very good played in the video, Thx
OK for Radiohead you will need a shedload of effects. Bloc party some delay pedals, reverbs chorus etc. The Strokes virtually nothing. Basic setup would include some type of overdrive pedal and a delay pedal.
dude have a look at a digitech rsp200. They're around £85 now and have sounds already stored and give you everything from metallica to johny cash on one pedal.
wats the problem with putting a capo on an electric guitar?! sumtimes u just gotta to get the sound, or key you need. don't criticize unless you know wat ure talking bout. otherwise keep your mouth shut...... by the way, i like ure sound man! keep it up! nice pedals!
Screw u. Explain why its pathetic. I play in a band with 3 guitarist. Between us we play 6, 7 and 8 string guitars. If someone has a part on a 7 string I can put a capo on the second fret and get an instant octave part, like I do in the song I am playing here. I had the misfortune of watching ur videos......go practice guitar for about 5 years then start commenting on other peoples vids.
They are fairly similar to be honest. I use the OD-3 mainly through the clean channel of my Hiwatt to get a light overdrive sound. I use the BD-2 thru both the Hiwatt and Mesa Boogie as boost pedal to get slightly more gain. Either of them can give overdrive or be used to boost the signal for solos.
AB-2 for second guitar dude, so I dont need take the lead out when changing guitar on stage. I have 2 AB-2 switches o can connect 3 guitars to my rig at gigs as I normally need 3.
Hey man, its just the clean channel of my practice amp with some effects one it. Its a stock Epiphone Les Paul, great finish and build quality on it for an Epi.
They r relatively cheap, like £350, then spend about another £200 replacing the electrics and pickups with seymour duncans, and you have yourself an awesome guitar IMO. Granted you have been lucky with the build quality and finish, some are better thna otehrs. Which PRS u own?
but I am charmed by your fat LP-like neck sound! sounds better than any LP I heard! and the looks on your guitar... also beats all other LP's! at first I thought it was a LP Standard Limited edition! :)
Custom 24 = nice! I have been looking at PRS's recently, beautiful guitars, possibly looking to buy a singlecut at some point. Love the custom models but I have been playing Les Pauls so long I dont know if I could go for a guitar with a different toggle switch method!
a little advice: if you're a LP-man, dont buy a PRS singlecut. why waste money when you already got the real thing? IMO the singlecuts dont sound as good as the LP's. if you're gonna buy a PRS - buy a custom24 or a standard. and about that toggle switch, some PRS guitars come with a 3-way toggle. in case they dont - you can take it to a professional and he'll do it for you, it's cheap.
I quite like the singlecut for some reason! The build quality on Gibson recently is quite poor, so would hope to pcik up an old one, but PRS build quality is much better at the moment. I know you can get a three way on 22's and 24's but its in an awkward position, I do alot of toggle switching mid strum so need it in the same position as the les paul!
heyo i tried out the DL4 u recomended ages ago in a shop, it sounds so atmospheric and spacey i defo have to get it :) im a bit of a pedal nuts guy like you though my pedal quantity isnt as epic as yours haha but i need this BD2 as a clean boost because my guitars built for the raw grind of my uber metal pedal and with my amp on a flat EQ (to make pedals soudn clearer) the clean sounds silent so what ya rekon?
Hey man, u just need to balance ur levels a bit better. If your amp has plenty of headroom on the clean channel then volume isnt an issue. But if u get a huge jump in volume between clean and overdrive it means u have the gain and volume setting on ur overdrive channel of the pedal ur using to drive it up too high. U need to have settings that eliver equal volumes on all channels, and use the master volume.
The BD-2 works OK as clean boost, but ur clean is never going to be as clean this way. I have a SPF Ego Boost pedal which works well as a fairly transparent clean boost. Hope that ramble makes sense.
umm yeh thats really helpful ill try that see what happens, thanks!
btw is that the CH1 and Super Drive by Boss you have there? im planning on getting the super drive seems really cool from what i researched about it, im getting the flanger over the chorus though because its fookin hard to find a decent flanger
scrap that last one lol i just looked up more vids of the BD2 this is actualy what i need for my rocky tone that i was hoping the SD1 would accomplish lol
Its a CE-5 Chorus Ensemble I have dude, and the yellow pedal is an OD-3 which I will have some demo vids of soon! BD-2 is quite good for that breaky p bluesy rock tone.
nice i would like to see some time :) i also found that the EQ pedal would grant my wishes as i can make my own clean tone and put the level up which will push the volume to basicly gives me an almost perfect clean sound, this way i wont have to spend a life time trying to balance the pedals out with the amp lol
I quite like the the Fulltone Wah that I dont own yet. I have two wahs in my new rig. I use the Morley wah on my heay tones going trough my Mesa Boogie and I use the Cry Baby for clean tones going through a HI Watt
Its a tough question. I like aspects of both. The cry baby is quite noisey, and sucks tone even when off. It also has a limited sweep, and no on light, so telling whetehr its on or off is a problem sometimes if u cant hear urself onstage. The Morley has a different tone to it, but has an auto on/off function and an on light, which I fiond very handy for live use. Tone wise as I said I liek the cry baby for clean and the morley for heavy stuff.
If u were to get a modified cry baby with an on light and true bypass, I would probably pick that over the Morely as I quite like its tonal range. But looking at stock wahs, I would have to choose the Morely due to ease of use dude. One drawback of the Morley however is its size, its a giganto wah!
yea but to me i dont think the size is much of a problem. and yea good point the morley seems a lot easier to use (i've read about it), and to me i think its sound is better. im gonna go to a guitar center and try out the crybaby the morley and the vox V847

Do you use your AB Switcher for a second guitar or a second amp?
MoultonDrums 4 years ago
AB-2 for second guitar dude, so I dont need take the lead out when changing guitar on stage. I have 2 AB-2 switches o can connect 3 guitars to my rig at gigs as I normally need 3.

how did you get that tone?!?
that's gotta be the best clean tone I ever heard!
That's not even a genuine Les Paul is it?
the headstock looks like an Epi... though the figured maple top looks better than a LP's!
great job!
cyberoach 4 years ago
Hey man, its just the clean channel of my practice amp with some effects one it. Its a stock Epiphone Les Paul, great finish and build quality on it for an Epi.
craigmcarthur1 4 years ago
dude... I own a PRS guitar and I'm fucking in love with your guitar. I had no idea Epi's could sound that fat!!
how much should a guitar like this cost?
cyberoach 4 years ago
They r relatively cheap, like £350, then spend about another £200 replacing the electrics and pickups with seymour duncans, and you have yourself an awesome guitar IMO. Granted you have been lucky with the build quality and finish, some are better thna otehrs. Which PRS u own?
craigmcarthur1 4 years ago
a Custom 24... it's an amazing guitar!
but I am charmed by your fat LP-like neck sound! sounds better than any LP I heard! and the looks on your guitar... also beats all other LP's! at first I thought it was a LP Standard Limited edition! :)
cyberoach 4 years ago
Custom 24 = nice! I have been looking at PRS's recently, beautiful guitars, possibly looking to buy a singlecut at some point. Love the custom models but I have been playing Les Pauls so long I dont know if I could go for a guitar with a different toggle switch method!
craigmcarthur1 4 years ago
a little advice: if you're a LP-man, dont buy a PRS singlecut. why waste money when you already got the real thing? IMO the singlecuts dont sound as good as the LP's. if you're gonna buy a PRS - buy a custom24 or a standard. and about that toggle switch, some PRS guitars come with a 3-way toggle. in case they dont - you can take it to a professional and he'll do it for you, it's cheap.
cyberoach 4 years ago
I quite like the singlecut for some reason! The build quality on Gibson recently is quite poor, so would hope to pcik up an old one, but PRS build quality is much better at the moment. I know you can get a three way on 22's and 24's but its in an awkward position, I do alot of toggle switching mid strum so need it in the same position as the les paul!
craigmcarthur1 4 years ago
The tone is fat and nice more for the chorus FX than the guitar and pick-ups.

heyo i tried out the DL4 u recomended ages ago in a shop, it sounds so atmospheric and spacey i defo have to get it :) im a bit of a pedal nuts guy like you though my pedal quantity isnt as epic as yours haha but i need this BD2 as a clean boost because my guitars built for the raw grind of my uber metal pedal and with my amp on a flat EQ (to make pedals soudn clearer) the clean sounds silent so what ya rekon?
JonnySniper01 4 years ago
Hey man, u just need to balance ur levels a bit better. If your amp has plenty of headroom on the clean channel then volume isnt an issue. But if u get a huge jump in volume between clean and overdrive it means u have the gain and volume setting on ur overdrive channel of the pedal ur using to drive it up too high. U need to have settings that eliver equal volumes on all channels, and use the master volume.
craigmcarthur1 4 years ago
The BD-2 works OK as clean boost, but ur clean is never going to be as clean this way. I have a SPF Ego Boost pedal which works well as a fairly transparent clean boost. Hope that ramble makes sense.
craigmcarthur1 4 years ago
umm yeh thats really helpful ill try that see what happens, thanks!
btw is that the CH1 and Super Drive by Boss you have there? im planning on getting the super drive seems really cool from what i researched about it, im getting the flanger over the chorus though because its fookin hard to find a decent flanger
JonnySniper01 4 years ago
scrap that last one lol i just looked up more vids of the BD2 this is actualy what i need for my rocky tone that i was hoping the SD1 would accomplish lol
JonnySniper01 4 years ago
Its a CE-5 Chorus Ensemble I have dude, and the yellow pedal is an OD-3 which I will have some demo vids of soon! BD-2 is quite good for that breaky p bluesy rock tone.
craigmcarthur1 4 years ago
nice i would like to see some time :) i also found that the EQ pedal would grant my wishes as i can make my own clean tone and put the level up which will push the volume to basicly gives me an almost perfect clean sound, this way i wont have to spend a life time trying to balance the pedals out with the amp lol

what is your favorite wah of all of your wah pedals?
IIOverkill 4 years ago
I quite like the the Fulltone Wah that I dont own yet. I have two wahs in my new rig. I use the Morley wah on my heay tones going trough my Mesa Boogie and I use the Cry Baby for clean tones going through a HI Watt
craigmcarthur1 4 years ago
do you think one is better than the other?
IIOverkill 4 years ago
Its a tough question. I like aspects of both. The cry baby is quite noisey, and sucks tone even when off. It also has a limited sweep, and no on light, so telling whetehr its on or off is a problem sometimes if u cant hear urself onstage. The Morley has a different tone to it, but has an auto on/off function and an on light, which I fiond very handy for live use. Tone wise as I said I liek the cry baby for clean and the morley for heavy stuff.
craigmcarthur1 4 years ago
If u were to get a modified cry baby with an on light and true bypass, I would probably pick that over the Morely as I quite like its tonal range. But looking at stock wahs, I would have to choose the Morely due to ease of use dude. One drawback of the Morley however is its size, its a giganto wah!
craigmcarthur1 4 years ago
yea but to me i dont think the size is much of a problem. and yea good point the morley seems a lot easier to use (i've read about it), and to me i think its sound is better. im gonna go to a guitar center and try out the crybaby the morley and the vox V847
IIOverkill 4 years ago
Sounds like a plan dude. I would also try out the Fulltone Wahs if they have, awesome wah!
craigmcarthur1 4 years ago
k thanks for the help
IIOverkill 4 years ago
try the V848 i know doesnt sound like itl be very different but the 848's are classy pieces of kit
