Excellent Score, Gary!

I have the 9v. Is it normal that the volume increases with continuous chords? That it doesn't stay the same? Regards.

I really wish you would have hit a couple ACDC riffs, my only reason to buy one is to get closer to their tones. lol. I dont know whether to get the solodallas or the other one, I cant remember its name atm. Does it come with instructions on where to set the knobs for angus and malcom? Sounds closer than Ive ever been straight away, lol. BTW, this is the most thorough video on any product I have ever seen, ever. You do a excellent job my friend.

Don’t care for the ‘full gain clipping’ but really nice video, wave forms are neat. Seems like a clean boost with some compression? Would this be the same pedal as the Storm?

Thanks for not playing AC/DC for this demo! Interested in this pedal for what it can do for a variety of tones, and this helps infinitely more than another AC/DC-type demo

Bro. Your patience in getting things right is admirable.

Great review ! Thanks !

Great video. Thanks for doing it

great low propulsion. piano melody.

Great job. Haunting, suspenseful, dramatic. As good as anything I've heard in film or tv. Well done!

Love those spiccato deep strings, celli in unison with other instruments, the pulsing bass like athmo, great melodic theme with lots of suspense! Nice different approach to the jumpscare, best of luck, really awesome!

my favourite one so far

this has some awesome melody lines !

Cool tension builder, it just keeps building, very well done.

Great rhythmic score building up in a wonderful way. best of luck

Could you please make a video trying to replicate what it does with affordable pedals? Seems to be a mix of boost, compression and maybe some EQ pedals combined together

And why are you noodling around on folksy type guitar playing? Where are the open chord riffs and power chords. That's who is buying this pedal.

So if I want to get the "Back in Black" tone on my Marshall DSL5 do I plug the pedal into the clean channel or dirty channel and where do I keep the gain on the amp? Nobody has shown this yet even the Solo Dallas Channel.

Does the new one have true bypass

Love Oasis but to me this is just a clean boost at those settings

As with most EHX pedals, older is better. Fatter sound, better dynamic range, better control/feel. I have the 90s one and its legit.

Aren't there any Amplifier with Red rox sound capiblities?

Great explanation, thanks

I recently bought the vintage. I notice that it muffles my clean signal a little just by being in my chain, even when I’m not hitting it. It makes me really sad because when it’s on it’s awesome, especially when I use it as an octave fuzz stacked with my super lead channel. But I just can’t justify having it in my rig when I only use it 5% of the time and my main sound is compromised because of it. Even if it’s the only pedal in my setup! Does anyone else have this issue with the vintage? And does the newer version have this problem too? Does the newer version have true bypass?

Awesome demo

Hi Gary! Where is your video about the Micro Synthesizer's mod? Can you give me information? I'm buying the 90s version and I want controll it with an expression pedal! 🤘 I'll be waiting your answer. Have a nice day!

Thank you! Great analisys))

It's like a compressor pedal with added awesomeness

Great review Gary! I have a TC Hypergravity that's been on my pedal board for ages but I have only just wrapped my head (and ears) around this Christmas (while learning sultans of swing LOL!). I can get a similar effect as the limiter on this pedal but it takes quite a while to dial in depending on the other variables (amp/guitar) its a bit of a knife edge to get it there, especially for heavier guitar. I now have one of these on they way, seems too be much more tuned to the job! Thanks for the video and taking the time to put the waveforms in and in giving us your insights!

I just sold my non-functioning 1980's in 2 minutes on Reverb last night for the price of a new one. But watching this I think I'll pass. The tracking on the new one is wonk! I'll wait for a "braaam" pedal...

Nice details. You could do a regular series on comparing vintage/older/original effects to their remakes/reissues, even to their plugin versions.

This is the problem with any new analog pedal that is/has a filter. The new filters are just nowhere near as good as the ones from the 70's, or in this case the 90's reissue. It's why even the new Mu-Tron reissues, even though they're designed by and who's build is overseen by the same guy who designed and build the original Mu-Trons just don't "cutnthe mustard." The filters just aren't as good. The last truly _great_ analog filters in pedal form were on the Moogerfoogers from the 2000's. What makes the situation even shitter in regard to older EHX pedals - they sound _fantastic_ but eventually the parts go bad and they're difficultto find someonewhocan repair them. Especially in the Microsynths. If you can get one, a company call _Iron Ether_ made a pretty awesome filter called the _Xerograph Deluxe_ that rivals the _Moogerfooger Low Pass Filter_ pedal. You can also contr the filter with an expression pedal and it has a small form factor.

Excellent video.

The older one seems to have a warmer, fuller sound too.

That was a great explanation, thanks!

Nice work, man, and well played. I’ve had this pedal for a while and initially wasn’t impressed with it because my instincts were to keep the Gain low and use the Boost to get volume where I wanted it. However that approach presents a lot of hiss. Revisited it today and figured out that I should ignore the knob labels and just find a setting that sounds good. Now I’m loving it with Gain on about 9/10, Boost about 3/10 and Limiter about 4/10.

Great analysis! You think the same aound can be achieved with regular eq + compressor?

How do you play the riff at 13:01 😭😂

this is excellent.. lovely stuff!

This video sent me back in time...

You should compare the new weirding module pedal which was inspired by this. good vid, I won't get the new one cause of that bs gate issue

What's the difference between the Schaefer Replica and the Storm? I've seen Solodallas pedals with the separate labels

Cool video. Yeah, the new one sounds kind of crappy, if I'm being frank. I wonder if its the headroom being squished to 9v from 24v? That's how I feel about the 90's DMM vs. newer ones, I don't think it's as picky as the internal components as much as it is just not having as much room to breathe. (?) Anyway, dig the riffs and your use of the synth.

How is it so clean with the Gain maxed out? I have the same pedal, and it adds a lot more dirt with the Gain set there.

Best review Iv'e seen on this pedal. Kudos!

It’s a compressor

Glorified chorus nothing more

Coming in late but it's kinda like the BBE Sonic Stomp...Can;t really put your finger on it...But it does make difference....

Besides the "Angus compression" it makes the clean sounds more like a classic recording the reverb, the tone sounds like a pro Tom Jones or a James Bond recording.
