I think this guy is using the pedal wrong (put in front of the amp) - it goes in the fx loop of your amp, at the ass end of you signal chain, just before the power amp section. Starting with the knob on the pedal all the way down, you crank up your amp (assuming it is a tube amp), and then you adjust the volume with the pedal. It causes your preamp tubes to go into full OD, even on the clean channel, which is really good for blues. It is essentially like adding a master volume to your amp.
Yeah, thats what it was intended for but if he thinks otherwise I won't tell him wrong- I'll just laugh when he can't figure out why my rig sounds better xD
What he does, is exactly what this pedal does best: clean up an overdriven tube amp.
If you have a single channel tube amp (like a JCM800 or AC30) and you love the overdrive, how will you get a clean channel? Put the Signal Pad in front of it, with the volume knob at 12 o'clock, and there you go: a clean channel!
I dig the hat!!

By the way: thanks for the video! You're the first to demonstrate this function of the Signal Pad, and this is why this pedal ROCKS!
