  • Andy could play a $10 Strat knockoff through a blown stereo using a pile of horse manure as an effect pedal and it would sound like gold! Great demo! Sold me on this pedal!

  • @mamealer Wow, Thanks!

  • Great video. What other pedals did u use to get that talk show host feel?

  • There is freedom within...there is freedom without...

  • just got one, it makes a ton of noise and rf interference, rather disappointed

  • @jem7772

    So you don't think it's very good? Which pedal are you going with instead?

  • killer white stripes cover!!

  • bought one an hour ago and it's fantastic!! Very clear tone

  • @bluesman12125

    So do you still like it? I'm really thinking about getting this or the tc hall of fame.

  • white stripes!! :]

  • @johnthemanrivers haha as soon as i heard that i was like hey! thats the white stripes!

  • Pixies :)

  • I'm not familiar with this company. I LOVE the sound of this pedal, though.

  • Heartattack In A Layby!

  • Yeah!!! The Shins!!!!

  • Is this a digital or analog?

  • @brunskies92

    I dont think they put a tiny spring inside that tiny stompbox so i gues it's digital

  • This is the best review so far Andy. What a beautiful combination of pedals, guitars and amps.

  • very cool. looks retro . love it

  • anyone have any thoughts as to how this compares to the Hermida Reverb?

  • "I Just Dont Know What To Do With Myself" 1:50 ...Classic White Stripes

  • what i like about Andy is that he rarely plays boring repetitive blues solos that everyone else does. he plays riffs and rhythm parts which is what most guitarists are into.

  • no level knob? :(

  • it looks like a fridge from the 60's lol

  • @McFro95 yes,

  • white stripes:D

  • Hey Andy would the hardwire reverb be able to make the same reverb shown at 2:40 or at least one very simliar?

  • Love the Radiohead play.

  • can't choose between this and the Holy Grail, wish I could try them both out :(

  • @GuitarGuy0008 i own the holy grail, im not entirely happy with it and am considering swapping it for the tonebug

  • @GuitarGuy0008 same problem, i think this is the better choice tough

  • digital or analog?

  • @d0d0Lgarutz- All reverb that isn't a spring tank is digital. Spring tanks are the things they stick in expensive fenders, so it's a digital, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

  • @superlou1s so, even the tube trex room-mate is digital

  • @superlou1s Real plate echos are also analog

  • what was the last song you played? sounded like radiohead but i couldnt recognise the song??

  • @aektzis91 Talk Show Host by Radiohead :)

  • Is this true bypass ?

  • The Tonebug sounds great with the overdrive.

    I have a Boss FRV-1 ad the Boss pedal sounds great clean but the reverb sounds horrible with overdrive.

    Why do some reverb pedals lose their warmth when you add overdrive?

    I'm tempted to buy a Tonebug. Nice video.

  • its nice hearing you do some White Stripes!

  • damn, whats the song at 2.40?? i know it, i get the impression its in a part of a song where some one talks over it...

  • there is freedom within, there is freedom without

    try to catch the deluge in a paper cup.

  • radiohead!!!!!! sounds amazing

  • +1 for Andy....It takes balls to go worldwide demoing a badass reverb pedal and come right out of the gate with Crowded House.

  • radiohead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *.*

  • what song is being played at the beginning?

  • The White stripes cover of I just dont know what to do with myself ftw!

  • @Timeconsumer9

    It's actually a dusty springfield song. Lol

  • @ProGuitarShopDemos True bypass? Looking for a reverb

  • @UlisesBerrueco

    You could try the holy grail;

  • Thanx for making this great video.

    All the best

    T-Rex Torsten

  • @TRexEffects - Thank you!

    -PGS Video Crew

  • @robfisher1 Ah, I see that makes sense thanks for shedding light on the mystery!

  • @ProGuitarShop Is this digital or analog?

  • @guitargeant

    digital. all pedal reverbs are, except the ones that contain miniature springs. there are quite a few of those on the market but they don't sound all that great.

  • @robfisher1 How come they can make analog echo but not analog reverb stomp boxes? Why does it need springs? There are other types of ambience.

  • God i love this pedal, I really like the modern setting. I would buy it but I have a major problem with this pedal... I hate the way it looks... I know this sounds stupid but T-rex went the wrong way for me with this retro looking thing, I am being an idiot by saying I wont buy it because of its looks but hey.

  • this pedals is "true by pass" ? thanks

  • Is this digital?

  • This review has me seriously reconsidering the Cathedral Reverb which is in the mail. Some real fantastic sounds here, the song choices are an added bonus.

  • This pedal is really good. The tone is so sweet and natural

  • Talk Show Host at 2:41...hell yeah!!!!

  • with a gun and a pack of sandwiches, and nothing...nothing.

  • @ErmisLeventakis Talk show host what's that?

  • pulp fiction yheah :D

    Iii loove this pedal!

  • I bought both of tonebug pedals not too long ago, and they're two of the best pedals I own, and I have a decent amount of pedals haha. I will say that I quite like the Chicklet now though...

  • This one, spring chicken or boss FRV-1? Playing vintage garage rock and surf. Thanks

  • frv-1 i bought one a week ago it sound awesome its the perfect emulation of the tank :)

  • thanks man

  • i trade my verbzilla for this and a gcb95.. ripped that fool offff!

  • hahah like on that!

  • @asdfguy

    mothqfucker!

  • hahaha yeeeeeuh boyyy!

  • @asdfguy hi mate, im wondering, why did you trade your verbzilla ? is this better sounding than the verbzilla? cuz i have the verbzilla and im looking to buy a more "analog sounding" spring reverb. Im between this one and the nano holly grail, could you give me any tips ? you seem like the right guy since you´ve owned both lol !

  • I bought this pedal and it is one of my best pedals!

  • Dick Dale hells yea

  • this one or the malekko spring chicken..?

    cant decide....

  • sprig chicken

  • Chicklet malekko or spring chicken? LOL XD

  • Is the reverb plugged directly into the input of the amp? Or is it in an effects loop?

    Will this pedal go crazy if used with Overdrive?

  • effects loop

  • Analog?

  • "don't dream it's over" was covered by Sixpence NTR, but played originally by Crowded House. So yes, they both "did" it.

  • such a cool lookin pedal, great sound too

  • Talk Show Host

  • you guys are all idiots,

    jspartacus was correct all along.

    now go cry.

  • what was that song playing in the background in the beginning?

  • Nice White Stripes.

  • hi guys, im looking for a super transparent reverb that will give me a super short realy concentrated snappy sound, something thats simple u know, not like a big thing with loads of knobs

  • At 1:26 sounds like the chords to Santeria

  • wats the song he starts playing at 2:41?

  • Radiohead

  • Talk Show Host - Radiohead

  • nice radiohead!

  • Romeo&Juliet!

  • Congratulations Andy you are the first one that test a reverb pedal with distortion. I,ll get this with the lovepedal purple plexi for my marshall plexi. Thanks

  • Does anyone know the song at 1.15?

  • might be Stone Temple Pilots

  • Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House

  • WRONG!

    dont dream it's over by sixpence none the richer

  • WRONG!

    "Dont' Dream It's Over" is by Crowded House.

  • looks fantastic!

  • I like the boutique design.

  • I'm really digging both the reverb and distortion pedals.

  • Great song selection again. You make me wanna buy every pedal you demo

  • could you also post a video with only the tonebug overdrive?

  • Comment removed

  • did you have this pedal plugged into an amp or where you using a software to record?

  • We use a Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue for pedal demos at this time

  • @ProGuitarShopDemos How come they can make analog echo stomp boxes but not reverb? Its all ambience. How come they need springs? there are other types of ambience.

  • 2:41 RADIOHEAD

  • Why thumbs down for Radiohead!? The hell is wrong with you dudes!

    The pedal sounds great! I really wanna get one!

  • So many great songs in one demo !

  • great choice of songs...

  • Based on the video, I'd say this even beats the Malekko Spring Chicken, and I really liked the Spring Chicken.

    I might actually buy this!

  • whats the song at 0:27 plz anyone who knows tell me i have benn searching it for a long time

  • Dick Dale Misirlou

  • Misirlou by Dick Dale

  • Miserlou by Dick Dale.

  • thanks appreciate it

  • wow, very impressed with the Shins playing in the intro. Excellent job Andy

  • is that the white stripes?

  • yeah

    i just don't know what to do with myself

    check out the vid with kate moss ;)

  • I just don't know what to do with myself ^^

  • yep... Their vesion of Burt Bacharach's "I don't know what to do with myself"

  • they did a cover of it. i can't remember who the original was by.

  • Dusty Springfield

  • wow... this is the first reverb pedal i would actually consider buying.

  • yeah!!! i dont know what to do with myself!

  • Wow Talk Show Host, great choice to demo the reverb with. Actually I was kinda expecting Street Spirit but still a great pick nonetheless.

  • awesome... want one!!!!

  • What is the song at 2:37?

  • Talk Show Host... by Radiohead

  • Radiohead - Talk Show Host

  • what's the song starting at 2:42 ? it seems familiar!

  • what's the song starting at 2:42 ? i know it from somewhere but i can't quite remember :(

  • god i realy want one of these

  • talk show host :)

  • For some reason your videos all have (unintentional) distortion on them, but otherwise they are cool.

  • I don't hear any. Are you listening through good speakers? or are you talking about the tube amp breakup?

  • oh god I love crowded house. i ordered a spring chicken by malekko a while back(still waiting for it to come in) and am wondering how does this compare in your opinion andy?

  • me too.

    Actually I felt in love with the sound of the Malekko hearing it here and after hearing all the reverb demos available on PGS and my Boss GT-10 reverbs

  • haha andy playing crowded house

  • i like the new design mm

  • shinssssssssssssssss

  • It was really cool that you played that Black Eyed Peas riff.

  • More like Miserlou by Dick Dale.

  • lol its not meserlou either i forgot the name but miserlou copied it

  • what? but dick dale was god of surf guitar. what song did he rip off?

  • Black Eyed Peas riff???????????

  • please.

  • hahaha! please!

  • Well said!

  • Hahahah..

    Nice lookin' and nice soundin' box.

  • [*facepalm*] Miserlou by Dick Dale. It's a Greek Folk Song...

  • It's Dick Dale's miserlou......

  • ahahahahahhahaha :D thumbs up dude! :D

  • NO, Misirlou ^^

  • MISIRLOU is the original riff... not Black Eyed peas dude... Do you really think they could come up with a backing track that cool by themselves ? XD

  • More like Pulp Fiction as ruined by Black Eyed Peas.

  • Miserlou is actually not by Dick Dale, it's just that he performed the most well-known cover, shot to fame by the Pulp Fiction soundtrack. The actual song is a Greek one, check Wikipedia.

    (Great reverb, by the way. Beautiful, too!)

  • its their riff, they sampled that track (or covered the song im not really sure). but i agree, sick riff

  • idiot...

  • So someone honestly thought that the black eyed peas made that up? I didn't even think of them when I heard that. All I thought of was surfing and the goofy (yet awesome) 50s/60s toons that went along with it haha

  • Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over...

  • Talk Show Host!!

  • white stripes awesome

  • whats the last song that he plays?
