I ordered one from PGS last week after watching this video. Got it on Dec 24. This pedal rocks and the tone you hear in this video is spot on. Thanks PGS!!!
Andy never fails to amaze with not only useful demos, but killer song choices to demo gear with. His brain is like an encyclopedia of guitar history. Crazy good!
What amazes me about Andy is that he plays so many songs seemingly note perfect, like he's been playing them for years and not just the past 2 days prepping to shoot a vid. He doesn't just play a few chords of Custard Pie, but the full lead lines too.
Andy has a special surgically-implanted guitar pick in his thumb, doesn't he? Because I can't see when he switches from using a pick to using his fingers, and then back again. The pick is just magically there, and gone again.
@ProGuitarShopDemos It's all good, i just want people to know how great and tonally versatile these pedals are. A lot of pedal demos, especially on youtube, put the pedals tone into the spot light, but really they should be putting the guitars tone into the spotlight by using the pedal in a way that brings out a guitars strengths. Having said that, big respects for you and your work, you must put so much time into each video and you're helping guitarists so much :) Sorry for being negative.
@MrMarcMalouf Really? Are you listening through computer speakers or external speakers? The sounds were nothing alike from where I was sitting. Strat sounded Strat-y, Les Paul sounded Les Paul-y, the Jimi Page tone sounded spot-on-Jimmy-Page-y.
@Guitarvirtuoso666 yes, i use both guitar rig and pod farm with pedals. you put an emulated pedal in before the emulated amp - why not make it a real one?
He better not be able to just play all these different songs he does off the top of his head, without some rehearsal... I can't even remember the same 10 song set.
Wait. Why would Andy (or anyone) want to shoulder the hassle and burdens of a band when he already gets to demo & fiddle with all that sweet gear? Seems like he's already got the best of both worlds without all the travel and weariness.
Do you guys do any Post to these demos?? Are you tinkering the EQ or adding comp/reverb?? Something fishy going on here. Not saying this ain't a great effect, but everything you guys demo sounds way too friggin fantastic....wtf is the deal??
@SixStringHarmonies - We put out a video awhile back that covers our recording process. You should check it out. No EQ, no compression, just a gentle limiter on the master output. Good player + good gear = good tone. Stick a decent mic or two in the right places and you're done. Nothing fishy about that. It really is that easy. Thanks!
Is there a point to using a tube amp simulator pedal with an actual tube amp? Is it's purpose as an overdrive just to get the tube amp itself more 'tubey'?
@SuperMarioZombies I asked them on their website, and they said he wasn't. I have no idea why, it'd be the best band ever. But who knows what kind of music he'd play, he rips all kinds!
Why does everyone have to say that with every video? It looks like a pretty cozy gig to me. He probably works a lot less than he would if he was in a band, he can play whatever he wants, he most likely doesn't have to travel much at all, and he probably gets payed pretty well.
The 1:50 mark sounds incredible
