T-Rex Gristle King: with Tele and SG

[razzamanaz79]

I think the guitar is at the forefront of any good tone, so if your playing a mexican strat its not going to sound like this.

[electricfiddle1313]

Burgerman, I have a Paul C Tim and am considering this Pedal. Do you think there would be too much overlap or are they completely different? I am looking for the ultimate trio of drives one of which will be the Paul C Tim. Thoughts? Thanks man... :)

[abrajmfx]

hi burgerman 666 first sorry for my english, i´m not american.... ok i want to know the name of the song playing while you talking about the pedal. no the first song a mean the second. just befero you use the pedal. thanks

[ledzeprulz1234]

damn, that has to be one of the best od pedals i've heard O_O I WANT ONE

[lighteningboy]

I subscribed, because this guy actually makes his demos sound good, lol

Nice work mate

[BELL12366]

why everytime somebody picks up an sg he has to play acdc ? lol

[TheTurtlehead]

Great demo! Good job at showing all the differenet styles that pedal can go through.

[rgel22]

Hi Burgerman I was wondering if the original t.c. jauernig gristle king would be a better pedal than the trex gristle king? after all the trex is more expensive and usually it is better to get the original, am I right on this one? let me know thanks.

[Burgerman666]

@rgel22 I should be able to tell you soon as I believe there's an original on the way from Tim. Stand by.. :)

[rgel22]

@Burgerman666 Ok, ill definately wait for your advice on this one as ive heard the original version 3 is way better than the trex version, have you tried the D' Luxury twin tremolo by any chance? thanks.

[rgel22]

@Burgerman666 Thanks, it will be awesome to have a good demo of the pedal since the other demos aren't very helpful :)

[Burgerman666]

@rgel22 No guarantees now, unfortunately, as Tim seems to have gone cold on his offer to supply a demo unit He may need a nudge from interested parties such as your good self. :)

[strunzgracie]

Anyone know the song @ 7:44?



[Burgerman666]

@strunzgracie That's just something I made up on the fly. As usual.. :P

[suicidiatech]

I have one, and I can use it even for hard-rock, metal etc. Wicked...

[Ghop7577]

Hi burg!! I was wondering which brierly pickups are in your Clapton strat? The 50s or the 60's? Thanks!!

[Burgerman666]

@Ghop7577 Mick custom wound these ones for me. We're working on releasing a 'signature' set sometime this year. In the meantime, shoot him an email and ask him what he put in there because I've forgotten (lol!) I usually just try and convey what I want to him and let him work his magic. Which is exactly what he does. :)

[Kasperkbn]

5:48 hehe you couldnt hold it back :) Neither can i when playing an SG, and what a nice review btw :)

[jth91]

Alice Cooper!!!!!!

[chapintex1]

How would you compare this to the Jetter Jetdrive V2?

[Burgerman666]

@chapintex1 I can't, unfortunately. Jetter have refused all offers to demo their gear on this channel and I haven't had the opportunity to try one otherwise. Sorry!

[macbury18]

awesome, I may have to get one of them...

[jotunbjorn]

Very informative. I thought they were grasshoppers.

[catfishanthony]

now thats a perfect demo fantastic !!!!

[punkmusicmetal]

dude, this pedal sounds amazing....

[freeguitar84]

Great demo!! Yes indeed!!

And please can you tell me the title of the song in the back at the beginning of the demo?

[Burgerman666]

@freeguitar84 Thanks! The sample was lifted from the T-Rex 'The Groover' track. It's a killer. Marc Bolan RIP. :)

[charleycarpenter]

Hello

just picked one of these up (from Ebay UK) thanks largely due to your video and very positive online reviews.

Still in the honeymoon period but Absolutely love it!!!!!!! so versatile. so rare to find a pedal that does everything (light-heavy overdrive/tubescreamer/booster­) and also does everything so well!!

so just a message to say thanks for an awesome review

charley

[jjkrause84]

Hey dude.

Great demo, thanks a bunch.

Can you please tell me how well you thought it cleaned up with the volume pot (I knwo there's a brief demonstration here but it only shows so much). How responsive was it to your pick dynamics? I'm sorta looking for a "second channel"-type OD and was wondering if this might be it.

Cheers!

[charleycarpenter]

@jjkrause84

perfect overdrive to use as a second channel (thats pretty much what I do) and the dynamics and clean up are better than any other overdrive that I have used (and I have used quite a few)

[jjkrause84]

@charleycarpenter

Thanks dude! Very much appreciate it. NMV amps sure are fun but they also come with their own set of problems, I'm finding.

I'll have to start penny-pinchign and saving up for a Gristle King now! ;)

[TheRealErob]

seems like a satchurator on steroids... as far as the knob layout and more switch

[Ghop7577]

i wonder if the gk would sound good in front of an already distorted amplifier?? can you get tubescreamer like sounds out of it? thx

[crazyfreak1919]

second flavor (right) sounds like a cranked ac30

[29396]

that was epic man;

where in australia can i buy this?!

(preferrably somewhere in nsw, but as long as it's in aus it's fine...)

[Burgerman666]

Thanks! I've no idea where you can buy it in Oz. You'll have to contact the distributors - Australis. You might be better off grabbing one from one of the online sellers though as the Australian prices are ridiculous.

[Yourmomathon]

@Burgerman666 Where can i get one of these at online?

[waynemccrary]

gristle king or hot wired???

[Burgerman666]

Gristle King for all round greatness with both types of guitars - humbuckers and single coils. HotWired for Teles and Strats - too much thick mid emphasis for humbuckers (for mine).

[spudgun05]

are you playing through an amp or pc ,if so what amp is it please

[Burgerman666]

A Laney VC50 amp. All equipment details are disclosed at 2:45. Thanks for watching. :)

[econgblues626]

god damn this is going to be on my xmas list! fuck it sounds soooooo god damn good! i just bought the zvex Box of Rock and i think im gonna have to return that!

[Erock09291]

don't return the box o' rock! i know it's tiny, but the sound is monumental! given the choice between the gristle king and the bor i'd take the box... don't get me wrong. both are amazing. the king is on my Christmas list too though...

[econgblues626]

thanks for your input bro!

[Erock09291]

no problem. a friend of mine recently got the box and we jammed on it for a couple hours. this pedal is great, but for just a straightup kinda fuzzy sound the box is the stuff

[YearraeY]

press all the button at once, i know you can...

[LvisE]

I think this pedal is ugly as hell and sounds fantastic. Great playing - really shows of the pedal.

[Burgerman666]

Heheh. It's not as ugly as me - that's why I stayed clear of the camera! Thanks for watching. :)

[lexist7]

bret, don't be so harsh! sadie's got a good-looking dad!

[musickbox88]

I think this sounds better than the original! I had it for a bit but it didn't crunch like this one did. Plus it had that usual TS mid-hump. I like this enclosure much better than the huge one before. I think it was the same size as a Skreddy Echo.

[Burgerman666]

Wow, that's pretty cool. I haven't heard or tried an original but that's a pretty flattering comment. I'm sure Sebastian and the engineers at T-Rex will be chuffed. I have to agree with enclosure comment; those big boxes are a bit cumbersome sometimes.

[SomewareMan]

With the Gristle King and the Triple Wreck you could cover just about anything.

[Burgerman666]

That's exactly what I was thinking. In fact, I tried that set-up this morning, but with the Pinnacle. The Pinnacle, even though I love it, didn't have the 'life' of the Gristle King, so I'm going to try your way this evening. I'll report back..

[Burgerman666]

I'm thinking the Mudhoney is a better match..

[jw112mail]

man that thing is UGLY looking :)

[Burgerman666]

Heheh. Gristle is not the best looking stuff in the world. But damn, it tastes good.

[rsl84416]

sounds better than it looks

[r3ynew]

do demo of replica please

thanks

[Burgerman666]

Shall do. As soon as I can get my hands (and feet) on one. :)

[r3ynew]

do demo of replica please

thanks

[kidderminsterbro]

if you cut away the gristle and fat you loose all the flavor.

have your butcher leave it on for the best tone on the barbq.

peace,

rich

[Burgerman666]

Thanks for the culinary advice, Rich! I see that all those hot Chicago nights have been tasty as well. :)

Cheers,

BK

[HD28HD]

Nice as always! Could you maby do a demo of a Brunetti Mercury Box overdrive some time?

[Burgerman666]

Thanks! Absolutely I can do that demo for you. Although you may have to request it from them as I've never heard of it. Doh! :)

[notyourhomeboy]

great pedal

[rsl84416]

please do a demo of the Bloody Mary!

[Burgerman666]

Coming up, next week. Thanks for watching!

[JonnyRake]

tone is amazing!

[lexist7]

the food at the beginning looked scrumptious.

[Burgerman666]

Heheh. I needed something something for 'Gristle'. That's what Google gave me.. :)

[ciclosonico]

I'd have an affair witht his pedal too, it sounds great indeed :)))
