Here is a bonus clip. This is a segment that didn't make it into the first clip because I thought it would stretch it out too much. Maybe this is the way I should have done it in the first place..

What you're watching/hearing is a Telecaster through the CG and then into the Crunch channel of the Laney. It's a sweet and deadly combo. I was able to pull off a faux Ebow with this setup. Cool stuff.

Anyway, to quote the long clip's 'info' page..

This is something brand new and I feel honoured to be one of the first to try it. I hope I've done this mean little beast justice.

So, what's it all about? Let's hear it straight from the builder, Keith Aviles of Machine Head Pedals.

"The Code Green is the pedal of choice when subtlety is not desired. It provides either a fundamental wrecking ball tone for harder music, or authority for solos or parts of songs that need to stand out. It is not a mere noisemaker. The top end has been shaped to keep it from being overly bright, the lower frequencies are plentiful, and the midrange has
been tailored to enhance sustain. It treads where other fuzzes and such pedals might not completely reach.

The Punch and Shove controls are highly interactive and dependent upon where each is set. Punch controls both the gain and the overall frequency spectrum equally. At lower settings it is focused and fairly tight, and can even be notched sounding. At higher settings the frequency response opens up, the bass increases, and distortion becomes much more aggressive and fuzzy. Shove controls gain as well, but also controls boost more than Punch
does. It also adds more top end at higher settings.

...For tight and focused - Punch low and Shove high (relatively speaking).

...For gargantuan and heavy on the fuzz - Punch high and Shove low (relatively speaking). Moderate amounts of both will blend these characteristics, and add others. With extreme settings on both controls, all bets are off!

  • Good demo Brett. I'd like to hear that thing with a les paul or sg.

  • @gibsonrd1 There is a video recorded with an SG on this channel. Go to my channel's front page and do a search for 'Green' in the uploaded videos. One of them will be the Code Green / SG video. YouTube doesn't allow link embedding in the comments unfortunately.

  • What kind of cables are those?? They look awesome

  • Canare cable and Neutrik plugs. A great combo. Expensive, but worth it. Thanks for watching!

see all
