[@stianstrana]

Can you make a rig out of everything that scored the best out of these kinds of videos?

[@pauldigga5419]

StianTrana great idea!!

[@chrisegg7936]

yes do this please

[@BoozyBeggar]

Best comment.

[@mikelucinder3284]

The problem with these tests is that they're really only relevant to the amp being used.

[@cwwisk]

It would be a constantly growing rig if they keep up the videos!

[@manuxhaag]

How about a "BOSS vs. Boutique" blindfolded shootout video?

[@lisadaly8777]

Basic vs boss vs boutique

[@kerrymoore5146]

These blindfold videos are great, most unbiased and interesting reviews on KZbin

[@reviewforthetube6485]

I loved the tone of the ryra for some reason that thick tone with still that super nice tone

[@bobboitt3126]

Great choices Rob your ears are undeniably good! I have the Oxblood and love it but that Tumnus was also sweet.

[@dannypulleyn]

Robs playing was killer! Having started a channel recently myself (not under this name) it's really hard to consistently come up with things to play especially if your tired/not in the mood/shooting back to back and he always does a great job, helps when you can fall back on a back catalogue of awesome riffs you've written too! :)

[@danbennett1005]

Rob's pinch harmonic game is nailed down tight!

[@onixtheone]

Another great test is “which sounds best in a mix”

[@daniel207pzd]

Greetings from Singapore! Your videos are amazing! :)

[@andertons]

Greetings... Thank you Daniel.

[@mrc2662]

Andertons Music Co and now greetings from Hong Kong! Still amazing!

[@MadDogSpirit]

The Keeleys pedals are really amazing. I have 3 and they are my favorites

[@stoneysdead689]

To a consumer a "clone" means it sounds the same- to a maker a "clone" means that it's a copy of an existing circuit that sounds the same- 2 different things. I think that's the confusion with the Ox Blood- it sounds the same as a klon, but it achieves that tone in a different way and similarity wasn't intentional.

[@jimsy5530]

Oxblood was the best for me - doesn't sound like a Klon though. Out of the Klones, the KTR and the Ryra were my favourites.

[@chriswhatsoever2001]

Oh guys i just love you for such ridiculous things like this intro! 😂

[@geechiesghost8118]

So the KTR brings out Nuno! 🤘🏼

[@riverrhodes7394]

That intro was epic!

[@AndiKravljaca]

They should have included a Klon model in a Helix FX :D

[@azlakki]

Digital...

[@Claimjumper55]

The Helix Minotaur (Klon) model is excellent.

[@azlakki]

actually it would be nice to see how good or bad the digital vs.analog

[@edwinykim]

TCaad10 mine too!

[@GameplayGuy00]

I swear Rob plays the riff of "Just Got Paid" by ZZ Top in every challenge

[@rodrigolloreda7012]

RYRA is the King Klon Klone. Some great pedals here, but as far as sounding the most like a Centaur... It's the RYRA

[@wolfwarren6376]

I share your opinion. I do need to ask though, what about the KTR? It is a Klon-made product that is basically a centaur with more easy to find and easier to assemble components.

[@gamingdc9208]

Wolf Warren to my knowledge, it’s same components, just with an easier assembly, so their easier to produce

[@wolfwarren6376]

GamingDC the diodes are the same, but the rest of it (while maintaining the same values) are surface mount vs the traditional hole-through components of the centaur and other boutique pedals.

[@timobb]

I love these videos, I love the engament that Robert Keeley does, it's so rare for people to come in to the ocmments and tell us about their work and at the end of the day this one proves why rob thought it was the best. A clone with ideas.

[@alexwoolridge94aw]

Rob would really love the Tumnus deluxe. So good

[@anthonypiety9468]

Good job guys I'm a big fan of Anderson's TV but you both are the star if I had anything to wish for it would be more lessons from you both they have helped me greatly with my playing

[@McGuinty2]

I think the final shootout with the 3 pedals should have been done by plugging them in separately or into separate loops, the buffers in the Tumnus and the KTR (assuming they weren’t switched to TB) would be coloring the resulting tones

[@PhilHeesen]

40:52 "Oop, catch..." So smooth!

[@Zeppelin180]

These recent videos have got me wanting some pink taco so godamn much

[@christophertoledo968]

I'm pretty sure the voyager was designed to be a more transparent overdrive.

[@Mist_R]

'can you turn it off a minute?', 'that's better'. slight burn there LUL

[@nitegoat1369]

That SG sounds beauteous.

[@adriansoul7223]

I always keep eyecontact with Rob when Captain ignores or misses a joke. I always win the staredown. Step it up Rob!

[@kileybarton467]

You guys are already cool, but the Star Wars bit makes you a million times cooler.

[@codybrookehanson2346]

You are giving him hints through out on what pedal you are using.

[@ericbouza854]

Great video guys. Loved it! 👍 Would have been nice to hear an actual Klon and compare it to the pretenders.

[@nolanr7679]

You should redo this with Pete. His style is more Klonny.

[@kyledaniel8337]

SG my fovorite guitar finally used

[@EasyHeat]

That pink taco tho. Wowsers.🔥

[@albertojvel]

1:29 Lee was like pause bruh 💀😂

[@johnstrh1]

that Tumnus tone.... damnnnn

[@jordanpeacock8774]

You guys make KZbin great!

[@musicmann1967]

Re: the Keeley Oxblood. I was commenting on another page last year, mentioning how the Oxblood was a Klon clone, and none other than Robert Keeley himself jumped in and set me straight. It is definitely NOT a Klon derivative. The umm, "confusing" color scheme had duped me! :)

[@joshiuahallenbeck531]

@Quiksilver +1 for Tumnus and the Deluxe Tumnus

[@fuckenps3]

I would say king of klones is the Ceriatone Centura or the Decibelics Golden Horse, or the Ryra, with the Archer Ikon close behind.

[@samiegfunk1]

Try using a decibel meter to level match the volume after the gain is changed. Louder is not always better!

[@jacksongraves8322]

If Chapman ever makes an ML-4, an SG shape would be godly

[@jamesortiz5388]

I love it! Tack-oh. On the southern border we say tah-ko. Mr. Wamps klon sounds good.

[@thebigeasy8609]

Keep'em comin' Captain!

[@BruceKnouseMusic]

Best. Intro. Ever.

[@derykstearns]

Thick picks made such a bad tone. I bought a gravity pick (Chapman sig) and my FOH engineer asked me to change picks to tortex orange and it solved my tone

[@satyarsh665]

that Tone city was great

[@tomyates2551]

I love it, but i do wish Chappers could get on board with dialing the gain right down with these pedals.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Looks like the Friedman Runt won the battle of the amps contests as it is figured prominently out front! Why no Bogner or Diezel amp?

[@jaizegilbert]

Action Lee-play! Genius! ;-)

[@jaytee8188]

Houston eh?, and what. Oh... Dallas, really, anywhere else you jet setter you. That jet lag plays havoc with the nose huh.

[@jessievasser6293]

I've never heard Houston or taco pronounced this way.

[@alexflowers-405]

I’m surprised no one is talking about what rob said at the beginning of the video hahaha

[@mcsniper77]

You should have used an Ibanez Woody to drive that pink taco.

[@frmcf]

15:22 Bit of Nuno in there Chappers? ;)

[@andygibson9422]

He-Man Woman Hater

[@vinniesmyyth334]

Andy Gibson he knows

[@BrodySilverSN]

Glad I’m not the only one who picked up on that riff _\m/

[@KeeperOfPoops]

now i really want sound like to return and do Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme

[@LucasGuitarPro]

What is the song that he starts playing at 4:04?

[@joeycomstock9407]

Ah man, was hoping the keeley d and m drive but only using micks side on low gain.

[@joeycomstock9407]

Or wait, was it even out yet?

[@geetarbube]

I'd be interested to know what speakers that 412 is loaded with as I use a G12M Greenback in my 112 with an Origin 20 and the same guitar. Cheers, from Maryland

[@alexk8472]

What's that riff at 18:00 ?

[@PostmasterD1]

That's hundredths my guy.

[@AndrewZeleno1]

10:45 15:27 26:16 26:47

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

That Pink Taco really should have been pink. Calling it a colour, but making it flat black, that is unfulfilling.

[@drdoom8793]

Guitar Nerd You’ll get it when you’re older.

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

And by "older," you mean in my 60s, when playing guitar start becoming more and more difficult? (I am currently in my 30s.)

[@MrNotYet1]

that lil amp is like (the price of my whole gear) x10

[@eatmytimeinternet8423]

Is the morning glory also a klon clone?

[@michaelhaas8439]

nope. Bluesbreaker style clone

[@EzyoMusic]

Sad there's no Ceriatone Centura. Or Mick's Silver Klon. :D

[@demeaningplebny1363]

Can I have more porridge please?

[@neptunethemystictube]

That’s a killer riff at 10:27, I need to learn it.

[@EdwinJEstrella]

what's that riff?

[@tristanducloux]

Wan't to know too it sound like Radiohead

[@ETILHK54]

Univibe comparison!

[@camdenpeters564]

what song is rob playing at first during the wampler tumnus?

[@mspguitars6740]

Lee, it isn't pronounced "tack-o" it is more like "tah-co."

[@iwannacuddleurbutt]

Chappers has the high ground.

[@KeeperOfPoops]

these videos are good, but they can't top the sound like videos i hope sound like without/by busting the bank or for under £500 returns soon it's been a while, but i understand if both matt and bea are busy, it's ok

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Lee: "I'm just gonna..." *changes everything without saying anything*

[@jasonwilding6334]

Best. Intro. Ever.

[@JustinBA007]

Me: "Man, I love the sound of that friedman. It's just a tiny combo how expensive could it be..." Me, 5 seconds of googling later: *cries*

[@olipas2775]

I can build you one

[@BloodFireDoom]

Thank you

[@marc_leblanc]

Very useful. Thank you!

[@coledraper5694]

Absolute hero

[@jjthejjetplane]

7:53 Rob: "Could you turn it off a minute?" Lee: *turns pedal off* Rob: "That's better." OH MAN😂

[@richardharrold9736]

Pretty much the same thing was said in the Miku video...

[@joshmuz9018]

He couldn’t even play properly, he seemed to despise it immediately

[@JaimeNoro]

Had the walrus been the first pedal played, the score would be totally different. No way the walrus sounded that much different from the tumnus.

[@bakaroo23]

Can you please redo this challenge with the Captain or Pete doing it with a cleaner Fender amp. It would be interesting to see the difference in results.

[@stk7778]

OMFG YES!!!

[@daveowens]

I agree!

[@lndrldcold1762]

*NO CHAPMAN OR VICTORY WAS USED IN THIS VIDEO* Today, the internet is proud...

[@astna]

Except for Rob Chapman.

[@JKM395]

Curse you all! Before watching this video I didn't really care about a Klon or a Klone. Now I'm hunting for them online. This is why I stay broke! Seriously love these vids guys. You've taught me quite a bit over the years. Great work and keep em coming!

[@TysonMRox]

Mosky Golden Horse

[@jamescloonan5274]

Try the Decibelics Golden Horse. Expensive, boutique, and absolutely a perfect replacement for a Klon. Watch the videos of it being compared to a real Klon. It is my favorite and always on pedal.

[@JKM395]

@@jamescloonan5274 Thanks boss. I'll give it a look.

[@The_Rude_French_Canadian]

Just bought a 20 $ one off of wish after checking out Music is Win’s video on Klones clones loll and the 20$ one actually sounded awesome can’t wait to try it lol

[@tfarrand652]

I have watched many or most of the vids from Andertons on Klon like pedals. My take is that I prefer Danish Pete’s playing style - more nuanced and melodic, but Chapper’s ear is much more refined and discerning….I trust Chappers ear implicitly, even though his playing too metal orientated

[@justinhobgood4312]

“The waptian” has a whole new meaning these days

[@captainfruitbatify]

Can we ban Rob from playing all guitars except SGs from now on? His SG riffage is just stellar.

[@ochlagogia]

That SG is super hot. Damn!

[@fit2praise]

The Wampler Tumnus is the stuff of unicorn poop in that tiny box!!! Amazing box!!

[@Stangil1]

"You fought in the Klon Wars?"

[@nicolai8920]

"Yes! I once had a thing for mythical aminals, same as your father"

[@oscar-un9tw]

Im less than a minute into the video and it's already my favorite youtube video ever.

[@brianturner8001]

you never saw the mermaid montage a guy did for xtc's mermaid smiled around '03-it was taken down. number two is my favourite kitty kat klassicks!

[@oscar-un9tw]

???? what

[@cawfeedawg]

You have limited web access then xD

[@oisinmcphillips2090]

SG Rob is best Rob

[@FLORIDAERO]

SG's are extremely versatile when it comes to sound. Had a 1975 or so for 3 years from 77 to 80. Sad to say I was young and dumb and sold it for 140.00 in 1980.

[@Lmaster3000]

Deluxe Memory Man sorry to hear 😭

[@FLORIDAERO]

Me too.

[@tammycoates7816]

Deluxe Memory Man All man that sucks! To be older and wise, we first have to be young and dumb.

[@ir0nfist447]

Just got my first vintage sg 1980 it's just a beast. My 3rd gibson, and all sgs.

[@JeanClodVanShot]

Finally some love for SGs

[@NelsLindahl]

Sometimes Rob just crushes some guitar licks during these pedal challenges.

[@MornayCarstens1]

Nels Lindahl I think we're seeing him at his peak after him and Rabea have just done those US guitar clinics.

[@JourneymanActor]

Having had a tumnus and returned it for it just not being my thing. The RYRA sounded great and looked cool like the original klon

[@wilsonsguitarlounge8244]

This entire video is just guitar tone porn, it’s so glorious and amazing.

[@Marcus-jg4jb]

The RYRA orOxblood for me, killer tones! Had a soul food once, didn't like it. I feel the same now. (Gave it to a mate who is making better sounds with it than I ever did though, so it was probably me.)

[@abhinavaggarwal4062]

I wish Pete and Rabea had reviewed these pedals .. Their tone and style of playing is more resonant with mine.

[@ianjnanthavong]

Who tf uses a klon like this

[@patrickrosington1174]

No one. And that type of playing for a klon shootout. Wtf

[@fuckenps3]

Plenty of people? Sounds good to me.

[@billyshaw508]

It makes me happy whenever someone plays a Nuno riff. And especially happy when they play the BEST Nuno riff.

[@andykarelian]

Great video. Elektron's Analog drive has also a very nice Klon style drive.

[@uwetittmann1423]

Great, the test with a Gibson. I would so much like to meet you guys in person, however now being a South German guitar player I may be treated like an alien in UK....OMG. However: I may not care...

[@jimcamp2423]

Apparently when Chappers called the Oxblood out as what he thought was the Mythos Klon, he had forgotten that the Captain told him that there were a couple of switches on the Oxblood. That was almost a dead give away for Oxblood or a JHS Custom Shop Mod of an EHX Soul Food. The KTR is Finnegan's remake of the original, glad it got the highest score. I think the Tumnus would need to be re-evaluated, because it was the first, there was nothing to really compare it to, although at a certain point that frame of reference is lost over 40 minutes with 10 Klons. I've listened to so many Klons to try to figure out which one I wanted recently, I can understand being Kloned out. Of the 3 at the very end, I liked the KTR myself, I thought the Oxblood was 2nd best of those 3 and the Tumnus a close 3rd. Every review & even Wampler himself, says the Tumnus is Wampler's own personal spin on a Klon, Wampler says he doesn't like to make a 1:1 clone copy, tends to add or deduct what he likes or dislikes from a clone to make it a Wampler pedal. FWIW, I heard enough in a Mosky Silver Horse review to go with a sub $ 30 Klon clone. That one has a soft & hard clipping switch, so it's probably would score somewhere in the range of any of these pedals. Would be interesting to revisit this and throw the Mosky Silver or Golden Horse into the mix. I don't think it would be as bad a score as the Walrus did, and easily as good as the Bad Horse ?

[@4vinylsound]

On the jhs mod soul food, take a cheap sucky pedal put a couple dummy switches on it and double the price lol.

[@liambaillie218]

I would have added the Soul Food Bass, in my opinion its even better for guitar than it is for bass.

[@LEWZR]

Some of the stuff Rob was playing is making me crave a new Dorje album so bad
