2 Pedals 1 Demo... MXR FET Driver & MXR Super Badass Pedalmania

[@maximep3440]

Fine. Now I want a Super Badass Distortion.

[@mattgilbert7347]

FET=Field Effect Transistor it's mostly the traditional tube driver circuit built with the mosfets in place of the triodes and a little high frequency switcher generating the positive and negative rails with some tiny inductors.

[@alvarotorres1942]

The Captain face at 6:00 NOT BAD The Captain face at 6:18 REALLY BAD

[@guitarro1972]

I agree so much!!! I love the laid back bluesy sounds of the Captain!!!

[@michaell.8938]

That blue strat is freaking gorgeous.

[@will436520]

and to say that I thought it was an actual amp... THIS FRIDGE IS SO AMAZING!!!

[@Potatoast]

Chappers approves of the Super Badass. That's all I need.

[@totallye5150]

compared to the EVH, the superbadass has much less prescence (mids), and a flubby bottom but it might be the way they set it up, cus in all other vids, it sounds much better than in this vid

[@Tx_gnrl]

I know this is an old reply but watch the vid. He has kids scooped to like 9 oclock, bass and highs at 4oclock

[@mikeysan4]

FET (Field effect transistors) are a type of transistor arquitecture. The other most common type is BJT (Bipolar junction transistor). FETs are mostly used is Overdrives, BJT are mostly used in Fuzz. Inside BJT category there are Silicon, Germanium...

[@Taxman97]

Chappers shreds and rocks like a boss. BUT, the captain has the blues well down. Bring it on home Captain!

[@thedearmusic]

That 7-string riff towards the end was insane!

[@DeltaOracle257]

I have the MXR Super Badass and I love it! Now what I want with it is an Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer to give it a boost with the Super Badass, I also have the MXR 10 band EQ to adjust the tone.

[@Joe-xp7pr]

I have both of those, both great!

[@josephwong1703]

just the same setting with me except that I use a 6-band EQ owing to my pedalboard size

[@mattgilbert7347]

The Custom Badass Modified OD is good for that. With those 3 you'd have tone for days.

[@hectikmgj]

I actually just picked up the 7-string Jackson a couple days ago and it shreds!! And it was like the most inexpensive guitar I've ever played that sound PHENOMINALLY OUTSTANDING!

[@Sqeno]

That's awesome dude! What are the pickups and tuners like? I would be inclined to change the pickups but just wondering what they are like! :)

[@hectikmgj]

They're like most squire pickups, I actually replaced them with some Duncan's and the tuners I never had an issue with but I did replace them with some schaller locking ones. Now this thing is a beast and hoping to add a Chapman ML-7 T type soon yo my line up! But its definitely the best 7 once you do the pickup swap it'll still come out way cheaper for the quality!

[@Sqeno]

Yeah dude, I would chuck some bare knuckles in there. I would love to get the ML-7 as well.

[@hectikmgj]

Yeah I've never used any Bare Knuckles, not very common around my area, most everyone uses EMGs which I can't stand, I've always loved Duncan's but am checking out others when I can.

[@Sqeno]

Yeah I'm not a fan of EMG's but dude bare knuckles are really great. Seymours are probably my 2nd favourite but it depends what I want to play really. Bare Knuckles have pretty much any type of tone you like, with amazingly high quality materials handmade in England.

[@BlakeMullens]

HOOOOLY CRAAAAAP!!!!!! I just relized rob quoted coming to america. 4:39

[@RiKoOIBG98]

Best review in a while ... awesome !

[@danl01234]

Since I'm still trying to figure out what type of guitarist I am, the contrast in a single video was useful. Thanks!

[@jeffisrael3773]

"The 5150 sounds too fizzy" is kind of like saying "This ice is too cold." Fizzy is all it does.

[@EventHorizonPrdctns]

Captain Lee at the controls. Love it.

[@L3Gutierrez]

The ML-3 with a bit of distortion from the Super Badass really gives that ZZ Top vibe!

[@mattgilbert7347]

Love my FET driver. It's totally that BK Butler tone.

[@TheBluesmang]

Love you guys....been following all the Capt & Chap's vid. Cant get enuff of the Marshall mini fridge too \m/

[@OMMIAMSalvation]

Both pedals together sounded fucking sick! :o

[@kimmolingonheimo]

Just bought 3 MXR Fet Drivers in 1 week! the 3rd one black Joe Bonamassa box...: WORLDS BEST JAZZ PEDAL with a strat: every note PURE VELVET!!! I kid you soo not!

[@andrewstace4557]

Absolutely no contest between the MXR and EVH!

[@ironz18]

Nothing in a pedal will beat the pure tube tone of the 5150III,simple as that.

[@chymist66]

Great pedal and playing by the way.

[@DreidMusicalX]

That is a super badass refrigerator. I want one!

[@TheZooropaBaby]

FET is field effective transistors, which is supposed to sound like tube

Nevermind the pedals, great info and fun... The frigde stole the whole show!!!!!!!!

(i know i'm probably the last one who hadn't seen it)

[@RockToneRevelry]

Real useful peace of kit man, enjoy it!

[@TheSpoonwood]

The field-effect transistor (FET) is a transistor that uses an electric field to control the shape and hence the conductivity of a channel of one type of charge carrier in a semiconductor material. FETs are unipolar transistors as they involve single-carrier-type operation. Hope that helps. I don't have a clue.

[@yawningdogge]

FET = Field effect transistor. It's like a normal transistor, except it's smaller and has high input impedence.

[@chymist66]

Great pedal and playing by the way..

[@Somehorsepower]

FET - Fire emitting transistor. They get hot!

[@greykdi]

i think you just saved me a few quid! ... i was thinking about getting a fet driver ... but it sounds nothing like what i was looking for... thanks guys

[@Maggai]

Love these videos so much

[@mongoose979]

Excellent mixing Stick!!

[@subjectt.change6599]

The Sand colored Jackson through the EVH combo was fucking ridiculous! Good demo all around though.

[@Sqeno]

Super affordable guitar too! Now I'm thinking about getting that guitar! :P

[@craighohrmann3898]

Good review as always guys, love your work. I have the MXR Super Badass and agree is a excellent pedal. I'd say in top 5 of distortions pedal that are out at the moment, has a mid range tone from it. Though my Favorite pedal is still the Blackstar HT-Dual, that is amazing!! I have the Badass as a secondary sound with more mid, I would be keen to try the Fet driver as blues sound, which I would think sound amazing after the HT-Dual on the cleanest dirty sound (CH1).

[@fourwinnsdummy]

I love the Marshall Fridge!!

[@justinmueller6709]

Dat FAT Driver... Awesome! My fav. Padel!

[@darvyowolf]

you know? it's alright my brothers i enjoy you music and omg Lee love his blues!!!

[@ckalas]

well yes without a voltage current won't flow, but if you have an NPN BJT the current has to flow into the base not away from it.

[@ckalas]

on the topic of transistors, BJTs require current to activate whilst FETs require a certain voltage on the gate.

[@yogengrg7690]

That intro! :D

[@blackmore56]

Hey fellow SPUD. Sorry I've been Spud since 1972 when I attacked a tray of roast potatoes and finished the lot. I was in a band called Phlite started in Sydney then back in Liverpool UK '72, unfortunately no reference to SPuds there. Nice to hear from fellow Spuds though. Hey maybe musical Spuds unite and take over the world. Cheers mate

[@PatrickMWilkins]

Very cool!

[@mcrekkr]

I really like that red 8 string behind you, what is it and can you do a demo at some point please?

[@XIVDock]

Waitwaitwait, I know I'm quite late here, but TEKKEN, in a Chappers vid?? I like these guys even MORE now!

[@mich9876543]

Hey love your videos! keep rocking! also bring back the elves for xmas this year they are funny and hot

[@Guitars77OA6]

The Fet got high output vs. the super bad pedal but my choice is the super bad

[@heliobluesrock]

I can't watch their videos without laughing out loud everytime! :D

[@ediblues1]

Excelente video !!! muy buena la comparación, very good boys !!!

[@benhanson6720]

Love ur vids

[@OneSongToRuleThemAll]

When are the reviews of those 8 strings on the walls coming???

[@Rhop]

MXR does stand for "Mixer". Keith Barr, the co-founder of MXR, stated in the book "Stompbox" by Art Thompson: "One day I was working on a design for a mixer that I thought might have commercial value, and one of our friends came and said 'You ought to call you company MXR, for mixer'."

[@andreana2112]

At around 11:40 the capt sounded really good. Like that bit if cluck on the notes

[@razorgem555to666]

best intro ever ?

[@CameronJohnson]

Sounds like Amin7 to D7 with walking bass single notes (E, G, G#). So basically a ii-V vamp in GMaj with some chromatic bass note leading back to A min.

[@neils68]

I have the MXR super bad ass, and it fricken kills!

[@robertphillips597]

FET. Field effect transistor.. basically basically voltage fluctuation sag like a tube rectifier..

[@FuukanaTV]

I don't like fizzy sounds of it, but I think you can dial back the treble.

[@MrEmohdee]

ROCK ON

[@9cccaseycane]

I couldn't help but notice the eight string in the back round at 1:42. You guys should do an eight string guitar shootout.

[@darvyowolf]

got some Stone Gossard tones there as well my guitar hero Buz Ziegler has used MXR for years

[@buzzguy224]

The fridge kills me every time.

[@rockingtrain9777]

Which pedal sounds more like Slash's Tone? MXR 78 Distortion or MXR Super Badass ?

[@TheZooropaBaby]

Marshall Silver Jubilee.

[@Zygotoo56]

The Super Badass gain at halfway and treble around 7, then fuck around with the mids and bass to adjust to your amp :)

[@vicssoera_baia3813]

+Rocking Train super badasss for sure

[@Twominutedevotions]

They should have put the FET Driver through a slightly broken up Marshall-style amp like maybe even that little Marshall Offset they have. It's supposed to be a little like the BK Butler Tube Driver(the early prototypes had knobs and color schemes that looked like it). I think had they done that with it, they would have been able to nail all 3 tones better. I still want the FET driver in the worst way, and in a couple of moments there I did get the "dang listen to that!" chills. Well done!

[@liamthomas93]

What's the riff at 14:46? *_*

[@rottenberry4]

Liam Thomas black Betty?

[@kico31kc]

man!! i have beed to bonamassa show 2 days ago and this is exactly the same sound that pedal is really amazing i wwant it

[@Arrancargod]

You guys should review some seven and eight strings like the Jackson used in this video.

[@roybulthuis3624]

That Jacksons need to be reviewed !!!

[@liamdowling14]

nice1 mate, thanks. just found one for 25 quid.

[@Ghost17110]

I would love to see Rob and Lee review the iOS app Jamup Pro XT and some of the addon packs!

[@seanyoyoboy]

Does that amazing guitar playing at 1:30 have a tab or anything?

[@nickkrisch177]

+Sean McGeachie You can clearly see his fingers haha, just figure it out!

[@inventhead]

fet feild effect transistor. its a gate type transistor that is non bipolar such as npn pnp type used in amps /efx .fets come singel n channel p channel to many channel. there used for low to ultra low noise in amps .efx

[@HugoWelti]

Sounds like there are serious phase issues when running both amps with the badass distortion.

[@DonnyDonnMendoza]

The best sound in the whole video was when the sound of the Super Badass/Fender Hot Rod and the EVH combo were combined!!!

[@alone4721]

I want that fridge!

[@Renegadedrummer27]

Evh all day!!!

[@duncanearley]

Is this pre or post new rob? He starting to look like my tubby build again.

[@RoyvanRikken]

The Dutch Brand you were looking for is Van Weelden Amplification.

[@Ardgent]

I'm really hoping to see Cap'n 'n' Chappers get ahold of some new Kramers. Very under-stated guitars without enough PR. (Especially in the UK) Beside that, the necks are shreddey, super-comfortable and you can get them in all price ranges and they all kick entire ass!

[@Allforfunforall]

that jackson!

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

Would love to hear the Fet Driver through the EVH.

[@obicross]

man have you reviewed those jacksons in the background?? GAS man

[@davidenoch818]

I just switched out my moded boss DS-1 for a stock super badass, I'm not going back...

[@mohammadyazeed7744]

Ok

[@SalisburySimon]

06:18 Lee's face says "Eugh - I made my ears have an ouchie!" hehehehehe

[@williamneumann6622]

Please tell me... How do you coil tap a double single coil?

[@hafstrat]

Great demo btw. Hic.

[@ofircarmi]

Great sounding riffs! For the Strat, the Hot Rod and the Badass setup, how exactly did you guys set the hot rod for that demo, tone wise (volume, tone controls, reverb, presence)?

[@RM8807]

Did you play an Apartment 26 song or was I mistaken? When you first compared the Super BadAss to the 5150iii. Sounded great either way.

[@loopedproduction]

It is! you can order it at andertons :D

[@guitarreilly]

MXR super badass pedal is easily one of best most versatile distortion pedals out there, and pretty cheep

[@cmonsterz]

So...the Captain is a dedicated knob twiddler? Goodness but that sounded rather naughty.

[@ChenShuoOfficial]

What was the first guitar Rob used?

[@Rekilo]

That Jackson is fit, please review.

[@andrewdean2114]

Can you do a review on the Marshall fridge. I've heard they still work as a amp.

[@giovan13]

Whats the captain playing at 11:25 ??? thanks!

[@BlakeMullens]

hes just improvising.

[@SavageGrace89]

i think the MXR FET is the pedal for the Capt.
