Do one for wah pedals!

[@adamcogan211]

Kirk Wahmmet Sit down Kirk.

[@arefinkhandaker4370]

hahahahahahhahahahahahaha

[@bobbyberetta4206]

Kirk Wahmmet That sure is Classic Kirk...Classic

[@skruffy79]

no point - its all the wah's or nothing

[@kirkwahmmet8406]

skruffy79 that’s my philosophy!

[@Sam-hm8wj]

I would love to see Lee form a blues group called "Lee and his Andertones". 10/10 would go see

[@larrimos]

Sam1131 or just the Ander tones.

[@hammyjammies]

You're in luck now ;)

[@ValiantTono]

All of the songs would have the 20:30 lick

[@tomcat2260]

Tono Meza haha absolutely

[@TeamJizzy]

The rate at which you guys pump out quality content is remarkable. Thank you for everything

[@wesleyzimmerman94]

Jake Christian They have a high rate because everybody that does videos has a set two days or so a month to come in and film like, 10 videos in the time given.

[@TheAndrewBFlanders]

Right up until the point where he dips his toe into politics and takes a swipe at the POTUS. Way to create a former fan.

[@RJTheBikeGuy]

How about a blindfold comparing the various Boss overdrive pedals. Like Boss OD-1 and forward.

[@AidyJames]

That Mad Professor is the best TS-type I've ever heard. It's incredible! EDIT: The Maxon is amazing, too. Joint favourites!

[@CJ_YT.]

Hilarious editing on this haha

[@barfy362]

the editing is why I never skip through these videos

[@userPrehistoricman]

Haha didn't notice 1:40! I liked 11:55

[@gregtoolson1606]

9:55

[@genethomas2000]

Basically, if you want a Tube Screamer...............buy a Tube Screamer

[@Mr.Goldbar]

Buy a Klon copy instead, it's better

[@zacharywoodroffe4434]

@@Mr.Goldbar they're slightly different.

[@FelipeSouzaMusic]

Or a Mad Professor.

[@LIHPIT]

Buy Behringer I have 1 and an original ts808 very little difference

[@ytrichardsenior]

Always go with perma-buffered ultra-low-noise FET bypass... True Bypass.. is bunk. That's why the TS still sounds great.

[@GavinMorris1]

Great touch with the coffee at 5:55ish. Maxon clear winner for me. Original and best.

[@Mr_Ashley]

Not going to lie I like these videos before they’ve even started. This is what you tube was made for. Fulfilling my guitar gear geek outs

[@ThistleThings]

Rory was on fire for this one!

[@aaronclegg5663]

Lee's playing has improved SO much, he sounded really really good in this video

[@riffsandwich9541]

Love that you guys are putting the names and scores on the screen!!!

[@AliceWallace2]

I got really confused for a second when there was no smashing of the mugs. Then I noticed the editing. Very nice.

[@gssuper1438]

This was a really really really good video. Well done guys!

[@murder_out]

Round of applause for the editor of this video. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@worshiptutorials]

Stellar content as always, guys

[@shazbaz5015]

Worship Tutorials fancy seeing you guys here, love your vids.

[@jonnorris419]

Best vid in ages loved this, proves that the capn has a great ear for tone !!

[@joshsellick5229]

Love watching these, great vids guys keep it up!

[@_krivbeknih]

I really like these blindfolded videos. You get better and better with the setup. Keep it up mah dudes !

[@Zuhlsmann1]

These videos are fantastic!!! You guys gotta keep doing ones like this!!!

[@TroyNaumu808]

Ibanez Tube Screamer.... often immitated but never duplicated.

[@jmattbassplaya90]

I absolutely love that the TS9 placed where it did. It sounded great and shows that (some) boutique copies don't always trump the original.

[@Yamazaki1923]

That clarksdale is my to-date, all-time-favorite pedal. -play it everyday.

[@rileyioacura]

You should have messed with the captain by using the jhs bonsia for every tubescreamer

[@chemajimenez447]

The Earthquaker Devices Palisades Overdrive could have been a cool pedal to do that too x)

[@thechannelforeverything2170]

Oh my goodness you time traveling maniac

[@markgowans]

I seem to recall them doing something like that to Rob.

[@chrisegg7936]

i just made the same comment at the top of the page and now i’m going to delete it

[@alexmurphy5289]

They did it lmao

[@samjohnson8994]

The editing was on point in this video!

[@amoincof]

One thing that keeps really annoying me throughout this video is the spring reverb(coming from the Amp?). It's not too prevalent when the Capt'n is using his clean tones, but as soon as most of the tube screamers are switched on the unmistakable crappy choppy spring verb is there coloring the sound. Personally, I would much prefer not hearing any reverb on in a test like this in order to better tell exactly what it is each of the Tube screamers are doing to the sound. However, as always I love that you guys are creating videos like this and it helps us consumers make informed decisions when it comes to buying gear. Keep it up. Cheers

[@montlejohnbojangles8937]

I was actually surprised how noticeably different these sounded! Captain's guitar playing was perfect for this test though. And seriously man, you've improved so much this year!

[@andrewmarkowski308]

Oh man! I loved the Wampler and Mad Professor so much!!!

[@alexaudiovisuals]

great video :) love those blind tests

[@samwarrener8281]

Woah, Lee's playing is his best so far in this video👏👏

[@kosmicwizard]

Great job, Captain Lee!

[@BigDaddy-nt6yc]

The Captain is quickly becoming the Tone Wrangler!! Damn that was some tasty playing. Job well done.

[@MJXtube]

That strat sounds heavenly. With the TS9, it's magical.

[@SvrgitAbsvrdvm]

The video editing in this one is priceless!

[@frmcf]

#9 is the Wampler Psychosomatic Drive

[@djfedezaza]

Loved the cup move at 5.48!

[@michagrabowski6753]

I think that this is a beginnig of the whole new blindfold challenge series, where you put one, famous and original pedal against its copies. I can't wait for more! :D You should do the same thing with OCD, or Big Muff next! :D And some wah too! :D

[@TheZooropaBaby]

I remember they once did shootout of Klon-like pedals, blindfolded

[@hammyjammies]

Muff or Enuff? Wah or Nah? There we have the two titles

[@JimijaymesProductions]

Muff would be awesome maybe get Rabea to do it and compare Russian clones to the new ehx Russian.

[@stoneysdead689]

LOL- HIs vendors would be super pissed, not saying he would care but- you can bet they wouldn't like this idea, at all. The last thing the maker of a classic, proven pedal wants is for everyone to hear it A/Bed against a bunch of cheaper options that most likely sound just as good, some better. This got to be so much of a headache for Phil McKnight, who owned a retail location as well as making YT videos- that he totally separated his channel from his business. He said it was so bad that he had vendors coming in upset- and I mean like really pissed to the point of it causing issues with their business relationship- simply because he hi-lighted something positive about a competitor's product and failed to mention theirs. And of course, maintaining a positive relationship with your point of contact with some of the companies is vital if you own a retail location. Anderton's maybe so established they don't care though- they've got more weight than most to throw around in this area.

[@dismalswamp72]

Just brilliant guys. Keep it up.

[@stephenjames4937]

What a delicious and soulful player the Captain is. Consider the bluesy cockles of my heart warmed.

[@pterantula]

Totally rooting for the Wampler throughout - I love the Clarksdale so much! I use it on everything.

[@robinwilliams6956]

Enjoyed the coffee edit. And lee’s playing which rocked this whole video

[@RosanoCallao]

I love this!

[@EverfreeTree]

Rory's mug editing improves in leaps with every video... Well done, sir.

[@bNixx83]

I love Chappers drinking The Captain's coffee at 1:40 😂😄🤣

[@psychonaut689]

Makes you wonder whether there is some kind of split screen effect happening?

[@jedinightwing]

Love tubescreamers. TS9 is my favorite pedal I own. That Maxon sounded fantastic and I think I may need to track one down and try it

[@JnJaJaB]

Lee, dude! You really make that guitar sing when you bend the strings!

[@ZblockWoW]

Amazing.

[@Brianemersonpt]

Rob’s vocabulary is something to behold.

[@Calebmzed]

Does any one else picture danish Pete sitting in a dark room all alone doing the edits on these videos, dying hysterically at all the little songs, meme references, and glass shattering sounds? Damnit Pete.

[@RobChappers]

Caleb Zedwick Pete doesn’t edit these, it’s Rory :-)

[@Calebmzed]

Yeah I just pictured it in my head haha. I think its all hilarious. Thanks for the great content!

[@DIYivan04]

Love the edits

[@guitarfreak585]

I think his initial reactions were great. And I was very impressed with his discerning ear on these. Very nice Cap'n.

[@JKM395]

I absolutely love it when you guys do things like this. I've been playing for some time, but I'm only now getting into pedals. This was extremely useful. Lee, you're a monster. If you're just going to ruin a great guitar, send it to me. I'm kidding, but only just.

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

Great playing

[@ejm922]

brill! thank you!

[@Person-uz5lw]

you can get SO much more out of the East River Drive!! Juicy, tight, crunchy loveliness!!

[@EpictheEpicest]

I was half-expecting one of them to be a metal zone.

[@joshwinger]

5:45 - 6:00 is easily the funniest bit of video your team has put out. I love the tricks with the coffee.

[@brothawils]

It’s time for another one of these!

[@kierenmoore3236]

7:05 ... This is the smartest I have ever seen Chappers look - behaving all scientific 'n' stuff ... he'd make a great lab rat ...

[@stevesmith3990]

He looks frustrated at not being able to play guitar..

[@seamanjive]

Def one of your best ever vids, the TS shades it for me....thx gents. PS: Keep taking the Grecian 2000

[@xjohn1970]

Love the TS-9

[@Usuallyjustahuman]

Lee, your playing improved so much, congratulations! Your vibrato is very nice, like it 👍

[@bleeknoir]

Mad Prof just make niiiice stuff.

[@StuartBridson]

This is a very well timed video, I've been debating either a Tubescreamer-type or a Klon-type drive pedal for my board and I may well be making a purchase based on this video.

[@stroopwafel6141]

That was fun. Keep up the good work at Guildford. Kudos for the Maxon. They make such good pedals. When my AD-9 finally died, I purchased the Maxon AD-9 Pro. Sounds just gorgeous and operates dead silent.

[@HROD137]

Amazing ears captain, respect.

[@lasm2000]

Short version: He likes Ts9, dislikes ts808. Even while he states preferring the 808 the ones he disliked are 808 copies. They should had thrown the behringer copy of ts9 and a boss sd1 if at least for the lols.

[@JaxTacPJ]

You guys crack me up with the mugs

[@chrisegg7936]

should’ve just hooked up a jhs bonsai and told lee each mode was a different pedal

[@godofthedesecrated7449]

Loved it! Peace!

[@bonestockrotorary]

I’m convinced the captain has the tone completely in his hands. I could sit and listen to his vibrato for hours.

[@justinbouchard]

Hands down the Mad Professor for me. It had some harmonic over and or undertones that were amazing.

[@davidenoch818]

The green menace sounded absolutely heavy on that hot rod. My God.

[@davidlongoria8607]

More videos like this! Please

[@conorobrien2712]

The coffee cup editing fantastic in this. Hightlight of the video really

[@satchmodog2]

That Maxon and the Green Wonder sounded awesome. I also loved the Clarksdale and Kafir Lime. Going to see if my peddle bud can build any and then I'll order whatever.

[@davidleslie1127]

About 4 years ago I got a TS9 for $50, and literally thought "Why the hell are there mods for this thing? It's perfect, as is." Glad to see others feel the same way, and it sounds like per Lee's comments about sales skyrocketing for the original TS9, a lot of other folks are coming to that conclusion, as well.

[@DavidDyte1969]

When I give up on the whole pedalboard thing and just run my Strat though the EHX East River Drive it sounds awesome. That pedal is mega sound for next to no money.

[@Oris37]

I'm not usually a Tube Screamery kinda player but that Maxon sounded just lurvely. Oh, and fabtastic playing Cap'n... :-)

[@nw379]

Great vid!

[@ReValveiT_01]

The editing is epic.

[@sevendblackjem]

The Captain sounds great! 🎸💯✌🏿👍🏿

[@glenby2u]

the chappers cup! awesomeee.... nice review

[@breeky_nassau341]

The KEELEY screamer is the "red dirt". An authentic 808 sound with Keeley approved components.

[@banjogrizz]

I've had the little green wonder for years... It always makes it on my pedalboard everytime i change it up.

[@RobertLandrum13]

That Maxon sounded amazing.

[@Smart-Alex]

I've tried a few tube screamers over the years and recently discovered the Way Huge Green Rhino. It's unbelievable.

[@NeilTheKnifeGuy]

One of my favorite and simple pedals for more gain is the BBE boosta grande.

[@yixuanwang2466]

This Episode got some funny editings, me likey likey!

[@ironageamplification1791]

"Action Lee-Play" was brilliant.

[@SeemsLikeSomething]

I feel like the name “tube screamer” is what gives it so much merit lol. It’s a fine pedal to be sure, but that name is stellar. Makes ya wanna use it.

[@jpvvandermerwe87]

Love the tea-mug thing ;)

[@Shtatiff]

20:16 when Lee first played Pretendng by Clapton, and then went for Bad Love from the same album "Journeyman". And sang "how meny times must we tell the tale" part

[@GucciManeSaysBURR]

Please do a comparison of the American Fender strat line comparing the American Special, American Professional and American Elite strats.

[@philkonselmo]

mooer was used in "hot" mode, so too much bass is well expected, in "warm" I'm sure it would get better mark, since it would be the reqular TS

[@billtaylor4897]

Fun To Watch

[@pizard]

I think the ON button _click_ sound of Screamer-clones gives away at least the fact that it's not the Screamer, dunno if Captain took that into consideration or not. Great video tho, loving these blindfold challenges.

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

ts9 seems like the winner to my ears.

[@johnnygault365]

i have the green mile and get some great sounds using both my gold top with mini humbuckers and my jackson with a dimebucker only playing through an ID Core 10 your strat sounds amazing

[@19maurice66]

Needed a Maxon OD-808 in there, that's the best TS pedal to my ears.
