Great vintage GMD demo!! Advantage, Maxon OD-9.

[batarajarock]

[tothetop777]

The Sack????????????

what happend to gear man dude?

[gramhyro14]

No bad monkey :(

[victorandrada]

he puts on a boss tuner first, just to piss of the "true-bypass purist" haha

[AlexStasXXXParanoid]

Love your videos, keep'em coming!

You've made me change my mind about a lot of gear recently, I really apreciate your work!

[guitargod1598]

you dont sound like jack black, jack black sounds like you.

[MrCrapheadist]

lol ! those boots r sooo 2008 !

[wyldefan716]

omg!!! it's jack black!!!

[BluesRockMusic]

A BLACK Coily cable?

[ayal100]

this is the first gearmanndude demo ever!

[chevelle7873]

good demo...just missing your snakeskin boots!

[FunnyChris009]

Thank you German Dude!

[GuitarzFromMarz]

It sucks that the focus is on him sounding like jack black, Because I like to read the comments about what GMD is demoing, Not a Jack Black Forum!

[ILoveRanjeev]

in your personal opinion who won?

[ptrigueiro]

I alway read "german dude"

[neezocrene]

@ptrigueiro lol...me too..

i doesnt notice it gearmandude until i read ur comment!!

[KomradeKarebear]

Most definitely Eric Whorton, not Jack Black. IMO

[Noseheros]

I see these are the days before the WHITE COILY CABLE

[LesPaulXXX]

Now thats a bunch of cash in that pedal case.

[bfv102290]

I like the red fulltone.

[CarvinTone]

I cannot believe this was your early vid, this is major, major cow bell !!! I difg it !! This is more what an OD is supposed to do I would use more vol boost.

My god some killer rare boxes and set warm. I agree turn the TS down the idea is to push the tubes not dist the box !!!

Hey this is pre cool boot days !!!!

[motokev]

I have the OCD, works extremely well with my Victoria Golden Melody. I might get that Barber LTD. I don't use pedals with my Bogner Shiva, doesn't need one.

[Burnned]

This guy sounds like Jack Black

[CarvinTone]

@Burnned and you sound like Denise Babcock.

JB I mean really, go swimming more

[dorielementary]

Why not demo these with a strat...since that's what most people are using?

[flukenukeem]

@dorielementary Yeah, because no one plays LP's, right?

[Euphoriaman]

nice LP bud!

[DoubleYellowLinesUzu]

Legend.

[joakoPRIMUS]

gearmanndude the dude with more pedals in the world

[vlmcross]

how many pedals does this dude have ? cool man !

keep on rockin'

[GuernB2]

where it all started...

[joakorush2112]

he´s jack black

[pabletelli]

no he´s not

[FordBurden]

There's way to much hype about the ocd. Everyone has one on their pedalboard. ocd this ocd that. ahhhhhhhhhhh! Hopefully have a BB plus coming for christmas... Take that suckers!

[alwaysending]

if you want just a clean boost I would 100% suggest the ZVEXX S.H.O. (Super Hard On)

I have that pedal and it's rediculous how good it sounds, perfectly clear signal gain!

[bloodgulge]

I made one half the size for 20 bucks :p

[Frontierblues]

these all are pretty much awfull,either too trebely or too damn muddy...yuck!!!!!!!!

[kebekoi66]

The OCD just... doesn't fit in that comparaison

[jwalsh8]

why does the second maxon look like an ibanez tubescreamer anyway. Are they the same company but maxon is more the pedal side because i dont know how they get away with the image thing.

[jethrofloyd67]

cause maxon was the company that made pedals for ibanez. there was some sort of dispute in the 90s and they parted ways. maxon holds the rights to the tube screemer circuit and ibanez holds the name.

[flamepunch8]

good video dude keep it going

[BigNickontheDrum]

oh hi there, The Sack

just found this, your first video and it's really nice, you should do more of these! people sure love seeing a good guitar player demonstrating nice gear

who knows, maybe in a year from now you'll have a couple thousand subscribers and a reputation as youtube's number one gear man, dude!

oh and don't worry about people thinking you sound like a movie star, I'm sure they'll get over it eventually ;)

[ibanezjem224]

lol the sack.....cool name nice video.Oh and i agree with the guy below me Nacho Libre sucks

[ilovemyfender1]

ALRIGHT PEOPLE EVERYONE IS SAYING HE'S JACK BLACK. CAN U GUYS JUST STOP?! thanks for your patience ;)

[CarvinTone]

@ilovemyfender1 Been listening to this JB nonsense for years. This IS NOT JB. Come fucking on. I wager bubbha here weighs liek 50lbs less than JB and HIS VOICE IS DIFFERENT, listen to two clips back to back. I suspect they are from the same part of the country, you know DIALECT !!!!!

[oncetaken]

@ilovemyfender1 He's Jack Black.

[guitars357]

@oncetaken it's not jack black, he's Eric Whorton

[DrBrawl]

i want a les paul T_T

[prospectorman]

Where did this video go? I need to WATCH IT! Just kidding. Wait, no I'm not!

[motokev]

Thanks for the Demo Jack, OCD is the BEST

[powerpopguy]

agreed.. you sound exactly like Jack Black.. so much so, it's distracting.. lol

[cliftonpproduction]

thanx man, i was enjoying this video, got a little bored at the intro, so took a glance down here, and saw u mention that, and now i cant even enjoy this video without being distracted by hsis jack black voice :P

[boxofdrums]

I like th sound of the amp without a boost.. That's a great sounding amp.. But favorite boost here is the OD9.. But sounds best just str8 amp man..

[KCAJandPOPO]

What's even funnier about the fact he sounds like Jack Black is that Jack Black isn't actually half-bad at guitar.

[skleung]

hahaha exactly like his voice....ROFL

[gearmanndude]

WOW...this was one of my first posts...so thorough...and somewhat lame...but hey! I've developed into a real snob, right? Kidding! Thanks to all checking out the clips...I'm here to help, and hopefully keep you from buying a bunch of boxes just to find out what you don't like!

ROCK ON!

GMD

[fairfaxsurfshoprider]

@gearmanndude I FUCKING LOVE U

[skurtix]

@gearmanndude And most importantly, this is pre-snakeskin boots-era Germanndude! :)

[TheBlackCrayon77]

The cool thing about your demos is that you actually go with the best sounding pedal, most cats go with the most popular. Take the Maxon 808, that little devil does exactly what it needs to do with half the features of most pedals trying to achieve the same thing. Right on bro, and Barber can never make a bad pedal.

[bragaguitarplayer]

OCD rule!!

[CrazyDiamond1968]

Excellent demos, keep them up. Great guitar playing as well. Happy New Year.

[TheDudeManGuyDude]

Your a great guitarist.

[jashobbsie]

is this jack black?

[Nevandal420]

The SACK! Who doesn't love the sack? Everyone loves the sack...lol

[68stangcoupe]

dude you sound just like jack black!

[kissochbajslovski]

Haha you didn't know that it is jack?

[Vibrolux10]

Why do you leave your tone down all the way for boost mode? It's not like that turns the tone "off", it's just rolling off all kinds of top end and body.

[gearmanndude]

cause that's how I use my 808...no good reason...that's just how I set mine

ROK!

GMD

[thepaashaas]

you have a sony handycam don't you?

[gearmanndude]

GUILTY! and hilarious that you know that...gotta save money to buy all these pedals@

[thepaashaas]

you can say that again, i wanted to record a vid of the hothead distortion pedal the other day, stupid camera is allready broken, the tape is not turning the way is should.

[ariseblackmantra]

he really sounds a LOT like Jack Black!!!!

[EddieBear631]

It's really Jack Black pushing all the buttons and twisting the knobs, but somebody else playing...LOL

[asdf3455656]

I loved you in School of rock. haha, jk, thanks for all the pedal reviews.

[mojo292]

Dude your voice sounds just like Jack Black!

[abradfordajb]

Another fine pedal comparison. How about an Xotic "shoot-out"? I'd like to get your take on the three primary Xotic OD's .... the AC Boost, RC Boost, and BB Preamp. Rgds, Andrew

[disneylopez]

Id like to know what's the benefit of the coily cord from the guitar to the pedals? is it important? why? great video for pedal fans

[modehst]

curly cords almost never get tangled and it you gotta walk really far away for them to pop loose from the pedal/guitar input.

[disneylopez]

Thanks a lot dude.

[tragictravistie]

they also have less treble response due to more resistance.

[norriszappa25]

I like the maxon 808 pedal

[spawnofwheezedog]

he sounds like he has a little bit of a southern accent (maybe just me though)

[StrykerTStrykerton]

i noticed as well....itd be just like jack to do that

[akaboo69]

notice how in every video you never see the dudes face

[jimthelizardking]

jack black has to keep his youtube identity secret

[slapfunk101]

Is this Jack Black?! If not he sounds just like him.

[matt21randyrhoads]

omg i just thought that when i heard him

[charlesmcguffy]

Well TheSack rhymes with Jack Black. :O

[CarvinTone]

@slapfunk101 you have old tomato cans for ears

[VHOBSESSED78]

OCD! OCD! OCD!

[kdc300z]

great great video dem. Thank you.

[onemanmara]

Cool pedal test matey

is that ocd version 1 2 or 3 ?

[gearmanndude]

version 2....thanks! I've also posted a comparison between it, and the new version 4

[elscoho]

great demo (and your others). Thanks for giving the Tele some airplay! Cool stuff.

[thailow117]

jack lack for sure. cant quit laughing...

[akaboo69]

I'm sure it is him with that many pedals plus the dudes voice and phrasing I bet its him, he also has a video called who is gearmandude

[Ferdie123]

I'm loving these shootouts man, really great comparisons. Might I ask what kind of guitar/amp you are running them through?

[gearmanndude]

Thanks! I show the gear in each of the shootouts...but this one, I believe, was a Dr. Z Maz 18 Reverb 210 combo with a Telecaster and a Les Paul...rock on!

[Ferdie123]

Hmm never heard of that amp, gonna look into that a bit more :) thanks man! rock on and rock hard!

[heber810]

holy shit, jack black?

[toxicrocks]

I said the same thing!

[jumpskirt]

Nice demo! Thanks for putting this together.

[gearmanndude]

yep...didn't care for it, for what I wanted...too much hair on it. But still a great pedal...more shootouts comin...

[ganoush]

this was really helpful. I'm thinking of getting the Fat Boost. Have you tried the AC Booster by Xotic Effects?
