Home Brew Electronics Detox EQ guitar effects pedal demo w Tele & Jaguar Twin Amp

[TheChazmatazz]

This has gotta be Jack Black....anyhooo, I still don't see why this is a better option than just rolling of some volume on the guitar or switching from saturated distortion back to your crunch/rhythm sound. I love Paul Gilbert but I just don't get this one...

[asdfcrow]

@TheChazmatazz It's basically an equalizer with a really sensitive level switch, it can boost it or clean it up depending on it's setting,

[brainmeats185]

nevermind didnt wait to watch the whole video. PHAIL

[brainmeats185]

awww gearmandude! no snakeskin cowboy boots today?

[timothywaldvogel]

i definitely would do better in an effects loop or after your gain pedals. its like the tone control in all our pedals and amplifers. it wants to see a larger than life amplifed signal by our pedals or amplifer

[gnrcr]

Sounds like Jack Black testing it.

[stud1664]

geezzzz man, youve spent sooo much cash on all this gear that your shoes are fucked...!! fair play man...!!

[kakan147]

so it works a little like a compressor?

[TreyarchIsGay]

@kakan147 no. compressors dont clean up your sound

[ermonski]

wow it's like having a separate treble bleed!

[ale88chions]

it is possible to use it to the preamplifier successively?

[Kisforkevin]

you used it wrong

[VladHarbuz]

shut up jack black

[hillysats]

Neil Diamond?

Buwahaha, awesome.

[NickMass35]

It's supposed to clean up a dirty sound. Hence the name Detox. It won't push your amp like a boost pedal.

[Dreamscapevirus]

@NickMass35 incorrect, having owned the pedal for quite some time i will agree pauls sole purpose for the pedals existence is to be used in the same manner his boss ge-7 was used, as a virtual "clean channel", however once the pedals controls are past the 11 oclock mark a boost of db in the levels case and freq in 3 tone pots case boost across the board is acquired...i own 2...one as a cut and one as a boost, its works fantastic for both

[NickMass35]

@Dreamscapevirus he has the gain all the way up and it has barley any boost. It's purpose is not as a boost pedal. If you boosted the gain on the boos eq it gives you a significant amount of boost without even touching the eq sliders.

[instinctfx]

Love Paul Gilbert's use of this pedal. Using it as a volume cut along with a compressor to clean up his sound without switching drive channels. Finding this pedal as a precursor for getting into DIY effects

[frogjim]

Sounds absolutely USELESS.

[vnalder1234]

I think this guy might actually be jack black. How else would he be able to buy all this stuff?

[stupidcompany]

how do you know it's Jack Black ?

lot's ppl on the comments were saying he is Jack Black.

but how can you tell ?

[vnalder1234]

@stupidcompany Look at all the stuff he has!

[mmaier2112]

I liked the sound better with the EQ on. Interesting. Too much gear, not enough dough.

[Ajepson2]

the problem every guitarist faces.

[benedictguerrero]

Nobody wants to play guitar and stoop down the floor to at the same time to turn these knobs,

but your sound with this thing will be so versatile if they could make some hands-free controls. This thing should be programmable with Banks Up & Down, or with pedals/sliders;

or

how about placing those 4 knobs on a slim case we could attach on the front of the guitar's body?

[reech4nineteen]

Whose talking? Jack Black? :):)

[pwnage0fn00bs]

how much does one of these cost?

[bingefeller]

You can do the same with a Boss GE-7 or Danelectro FIsh n Chips really...

[seasonedtoker]

yeah but danelectro and boss don't have true bypass and this thingy looks like that switch is at least DPDT if not 3PDT.

[guitarsimon1]

i love this, its essentially backwards overdrive :D (Y)

[soothsayer911]

Gearmandude oyu need a video showcasing all the gear you own in one grand video... like all your guitars, pedals, and amps!

[defaultuserDDD]

This or a Mxr 10 band?

[Xj86]

Paul Gilbert use this pedal to reduce his gain to a clean sound. I think his idea is for playing with an amp that has only a single channel like his Marshall Vintage Modern and Laney GH100.

I like your video but you should demonstrate by reduce level knob on Detox EQ, how good it can do for suppress gain.

[wiferote]

Buen pedal, buena guitarra, buen amplificador, buen sonido y BUENAS BOTAS JaJa!!!

[bitchslapper12]

Thanks for this man!!!!! I needed a sound check of this amazing Paul Gilbert pedal!

[phishfacemountian]

thanks, for putting up the vid...I bought one with out even really getting to hear a demo and I love the pedal...one of my new favs

[acepple95]

i can imagine playing the chorus to More Than Im Feeling with this pedal lol

[Detman101]

ROFL...that floored me.

Had to restart the video cause I was laughing for 5 minutes after GMD said that.

=p

DM

[machogriz]

loving the mic'ed demos!

[TheGamingGuitarist]

Me too!

[shredacuda]

Paul uses it with a Marshall Modern Vintage single channel amp. He kicks on the eq to take out some gain to sound more like a clean channel...
