Pigtronix Creamsicle Overdrive

[jharri1]

Andy rules!

[motokev]

Y R the input & output on the same side ? isn't that STUPID

[jcoriha]

Score with "Stars" by Hum man. Love Pigtronix, Hum, and PGS!

[The1970sInfatuate]

Damn, where can I get one of these? Can I buy your floor model demo pedal?

[Coztomba]

@AceOfHeart2012 All Polysaturator pedals have these mods as standard now. There's a lot more than 50.

[The1970sInfatuate]

THIS IS PERFECT FOR IRON MAIDEN!

[AceOfHeart2012]

Andy does great demos but that pedal, well, let's just say that it's probably a good thing they only whipped up 50.

[WillSnyderMusic]

i know this might sound dumb, but andy... let me know what kind of mic you are using for you voice on here.... you voice is completely different from the old vids, and i like the new voice sound. by the way, this might be one of my favorite pedals from this company... is just strange and wild. it's just cool

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@WillSnyderMusic - We've always used a Shure KSM27 on the voice. Andy's voice-over skills have improved substantially though, and we use a better compressor now as well. Thanks for the props!

It's probably named Creamsicle because it sounds just like Billy Corgans creamy fuzz. Maybe I'm wrong, but to me it sounds identical.

[skateVA]

what song is in the beginning?

[acrocrab]

"Stars" by Hum

[ski5150]

yeah baby!! Great tune!

[acrocrab]

It is an extremely versatile and dynamic little demon.

Covers a really wide range of tonal needs and is an absolute must in my set! Great value for money too.

As for the limited number of these stompboxes, it would make their owners a lot prouder if they bore a " x out of 50 " ID!

[44eelz]

just 50??? BULLSHIT

[lzsthjp]

can someone explain why this isnt called a fuzz pedal? im confused because ive seen a few pedals labeled as 'overdrives' when they sound more like fuzzes.

[Bobbybookoo]

What are the key differences between this and the new Aria? Which would be a better utilitarian dirt pedal?

[lucasleon9876]

Is this a OVERDRIVE or DISTORTION pedal?? Im confused....

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

It's quite capable of doing both.

[lucasleon9876]

But according to you, which would you put it under?? And under wad settings would it do either? Coz I just bought one.. Still being shipped..

[iforgot120]

Technically, overdrive is a form of distortion anyways.

[moucon]

@lucasleon9876 Semantics. An input "drives"a pre-amp stage...in-turn a pre-amp "drives" the power amp stage of a guitar amplifier. Either stage (and the speaker too) can be "OVER"-driven handed more voltage than the next stage was designed to accept - and distortion (clipping) will be the result. So "overdrive" boxes are "distortion" boxes by definition. But - most so-called "overdrive" pedals don't really over-drive your amp- they simulate the sound of a tube amp driven into clipping.

[brownbigb]

it's hard to figure out what any of these pedals sound like for solos andy, you never really do that. could you do some more single note solo stuff, both upper and lower register?

[ChillBroify]

do you not hear the solo from trooper in this demo watch the whole thing next time bro

[777jordan]

I just noticed switchfoot rips off hum at 1:18 in their song, mysteriously also named "stars"

[AirGuitarSolo]

This Or Ibanez TS-9DX?

[pigtronix]

The pedal comes with an Auto-Ranging adapter... works in any country

[SeanPierceJohnson]

sure does...lots of pigtronix stuff have ranged power supplies.

i have a philosopher's tone and it has a 12v-18v power supply.

i here a bit of difference.

the polysaturator also has a different sound with the higher voltage being supplied.

[SeanPierceJohnson]

really wish i had some money to spend on this...the more i watch this video, the more i want it.

[RHCPstrat]

the strat was it maple or rosewodd fingerboard?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

Maple

[Kairou57]

What song is andy playing at the beginning?

Btw great pedal thick precise distortion reminds me of t-rex bloody mary on those high gain settings

[smallmantynan]

'stars' by hum

[fullmetalfunk]

STARS! HUM! YES! Andy you have no idea how happy you just made me! I heard that and freaked out! Thank you for playing that Andy. Just when I thought you couldn't be any more badass you go and play Stars by Hum...you are awesome.

[catfishmudflap]

Hey it has your name on it! PGS limited edition... That is cool.

[tarzuh]

of course, they sell it, haha

[spider5001]

Is this creamsicle made in cambodia? =P

[meateaterer]

sounds awesome

does it work on the usual center negative power supply ?

the included one wont work in australia

[kloaStoawonga]

whats the song in the beginning

[aznargo]

Hum ~ Stars

Hum = band

[colinhammond2k7]

could you do the boss me 70?

[jeffersononetwo]

Limited Edition of 50? Sweet sounds ... I'd love to get some of the killer stuff you guys test :)

[Asistole]

Can anyone tell me the song he is playing during the "Bluesy Boost" portion at about 3:11-3:40?

[bug0292]

As soon as he started playing the Trooper I almost died, this and the fuzz factory are AMAZING!!!

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

Did Andy just play Hum? OMG, I love this guy even more now! You rock!

Would Andy or PGS ever consider going on the road to do guitar clinics? I'd love to meet you guys!

Lovely pedal. It certainly lives up to it's name. Just pure creamy!

[GearBoy]

Best thing about this video......the STARS by Hum riff.

[ledzep149]

Hey Andy, I have a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and I want a better distortion tone. I really don't want to spend that much on pedal, and I play everything from Led Zeppelin to the Grateful Dead to ZZ Top to Stevie Ray Vaughn.

[mullbenkt]

Buy a good germanium fuzz and a sparkle drive.

[popomczowzow]

Good to know. Do you have a question for him or are you just gonna say some random facts about yourself?

[frogswallop]

What's the first song?

[ninjascience]

Stars by Hum, off the You'd Prefer an Astronaut record. Badass.

[arekceg]

PGS Limited Edition..

wow gratz guys :D

but it sound kinda to trebley for me

[Blurillaz]

That's why there is a high knob...

[JerichBlakk]

PIGTRONIX do it again this company makes some of the best thang's!!!!

[teddypuppet505]

please a demo for the danelectro reel echo and EHX memory boy please

[kleydj13]

Why don't more overdrive units have a 3 band eq?

[nirvana922]

SOUNDS AWESOME

[8bigtubes]

The highs sound harsh. Almost ice-picky

[TheBadNewsBeers]

Did you listen to the rest of the demo, or just the opener? Cause I thought the AC/DC and boost tones that he demoed later in the vid sounded smooth and sweet as apple pie. I think this OD can sound like whatever you want.

[h2ophilter]

you are my hero Andy. Hum has a special place in my heart, and so do your vids....

[Greenburg]

FUCK YEAH MAIDEN!!!! \m/ UP THE IRONS!!!!! \m/

[brownstone28]

Let There Be ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

[MiLemonPie]

I love your cables Andy!

[Penguin806]

OH MY GOD thats so weird that u would play Stars i just finished listening to that song

[deadredeyes]

Andy, you are my hero for opening up this video with "Stars" by Hum.

[xdivinebladex]

hmmm, this one doesn't really wow me like the previous od's

[macdaddylorenzo]

I could tell right away when Scotty comes on : ). Cool pedal, really dig the bleus tone 3:12

[snouter]

Congrats to PGS for this limited edition. Scotty w/ The Trooper.

[TheBadNewsBeers]

"Stars" - Hum. Excellent choice. Amazing band. Well done gentlemen.

[tremalow]

sounds like you might be catching a cold andy, your voice is scratchy. could just be those rock and roll nights

[hanger1800]

sounds good

[surfco]

Cool
