Best Of the Best Dual Overdrive Pedals? [KOT, Gladio, Duellist, Protein] That Pedal Show

Welcome!
Here we go then - our first ever fully live 'normal' TPS episode.
Why are we doing this? Erm, truthfully because we've run out of edit windows this week, so it's either this or no show.
On a more positive note, we're big believers that from adversity comes opportunity. We REALLY want to do more live stuff, so let's do it.
PLEASE NOTE:
There will be NO SUPERCHAT and NO LIVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS - we just can't keep on top of them. It's just a straight TPS episode, but done live instead of recorded and edited.
Thanks for being with us!
CLARIFICATION ON THE BROWNE AMPLIFICATION PROTEIN DUAL
Erm, I say in the video (Mick here) that this is inspired by a Nobels ODR-1 on the green side (correct) and a Boss BD-2 Blues Driver on the blue side (not correct). It's actually a Marshall Bluesbreaker.
Seems that everyone is confused, because's Browne's site mentions the 'Blue pedal used by John Mayer during Continuum'. Mr Mayer definitely had a Boss BD-2 at that time, and it's blue.
He also had a Marshall Bluesbreaker apparently... which is black.
Please forgive the confusion! Either way, the nice people at Browne got in touch and confirmed it is inspired by an original Marshall Bluesbreaker.

[@nomoreluke]

Dude, hands down the winner for me. Sounds incredible and crazy versatile. Can imagine tweaking that for hours and hours.

[@grahamkelly8299]

Dan was right about the KOT, in a real band mix, you guitar will just sit right where it should be. Its a unique pedal in that it retains the character of your guitar and amp and just adds something special to it

[@kevroyo]

Man, hats off to the entire TPS team with this episode! If you guys hadn’t told me it was live I would have had no idea. The transitions, the audio, and the PLAYING, my goodness. Well done to all of you.

[@jjcoolidge6276]

Got the new 2022 version of the Duellist, with the six external dipswitches and another switch to change the order of the channels. In this configuration, plus the Fat/Stock/Glass switches, it's versatility is astounding. Sold a bunch of OD pedals after getting it because I could replicate their sound with the Duellist. Can't get enough of it!

[@satch099]

Love the little window showing you guys playing while the pedal board cam is on..... well done on the show..... watching on a Saturday still feels as professional as usual... as for the sounds, playing and tones.... epic as always!

[@mattdyck9931]

Every one of these pedals sound great, but one stood out to me. I was multi-tasking while watching this, and every time I had to check what pedal was making that glorious sound, it was the protein.

[@tonyr.7433]

I can listen to you two jam for hours while I work! You guys are unbelievable!

[@astrovilla6866]

Maybe my favorite episode ever ...well done, lads. Really takes the edge off in these weird times to be able to nerd out with y'all.

[@tonyr.7433]

The level of ambience at the beginning was EPIC! Great stuff Mick! I love that Strat.

[@orryfishburne5326]

I always love coming back to this video to be able to hear these glorious tones. I think its my most watched TPS video. U guys have fantastic guitars going through the "best of the best" overdrives (obviously objective. Lol) into my dream delay, then finally into my dream amps. Just sounds phenomenal!!

[@christopherburnett1745]

Exceptional quality for a live stream. Thanks for all you guys do!

[@SONICBOOMERSOONER]

42 minutes in, Mick is feeling it!! One more.. lol. It's great to see a prime example of the inspiration a pedal can bring a human musician, that's what it's all about Mate!

[@loicchapuis5052]

Dan, your Tele is by far the best I've ever heard for ages ! (That's what I think every time I watch one of your videos, it had to be said !)

[@tomolewine5743]

I'm very grateful to own all of these and they are all amazing by every standard. Great job on the video guys, thanks! No way I could possibly pick a favorite.

[@BV_Beve]

Mick, John Mayer's Blues Driver on Continuum was indeed mod'd and mod'd by no other than our good friend Robert 🙂but the Protein pedals' blue side' though is based on the original "BluesBreaker" circuit but it has been modified a bit & also has an additional output section to add clarity, output and a little compression

[@ThatPedalShow]

Aha, thank you BV!

[@lapk78]

FWIW, the both of you are probably my favorite guitarists to listen to just noodling around. (I assume it's noodling around.) I think the reason I like hearing someone who is so proficient just noodling around is that without any backing chords, I think my subconscious adds in the chords in such a way that really compliments your playing. The extended notes and accidentals that you play fit in to some progression in my mind's ear that may or may not be the progression that in going through your heads, but it's so very often meltingly beautiful.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Ooooh, interesting. More often than not, I’m playing diatonically around a key centre so those changes are absolutely set down in western pop music since the late 1950s. That’s why they seem so obvious. Dan has a more complex approach to key changes and extended harmony so I can only imagine what you’re hearing there! :0)

[@salo6564]

Some people complaining about quality drop while live..... this is the best livestream I’ve seen. Obviously a few frames drop but the sound quality is all there, the camera angles and lighting is all there. Few understand what goes into a livestream. It was super cool waking up and knowing we’re all appreciating these pedals and tones at the same time. Y’all are pioneers in this space, keep doing you!!! We’re all here for it!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you! Yeah, there’s not much we can do about a few dropped frames. Amazing this is possible at all!

[@CorbCorbin]

I agree. Sound was excellent, and the cuts were very well done.

[@dinger7608]

Mick in such a good mood, focussed and confident also in his playing.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thank you! When it’s live you have to bring it!

[@nimblebutler]

Yes, but is he mid-focused?

[@gravyblue]

It was Dan's playing that drew me to the channel, but it's Mick that has really blossomed into a world class player.

Cause its not delay😃

@@nimblebutler always. Master of the Tube Screamer and Stevie Ray style playing which as we all know is very mid-focused.

9 times out of 10, your shows make me pick up my guitar. Your playing and tone are viscerally inspiring.

[@EshockT]

Just been playing my brand new KOT for the first hour and it was worth the 4 year wait. Everything Dan says. Everything on, gain at 90%, turn up for lead, dial down volume to 3 for rhythm/clean. So dynamic.

[@adriendubois1183]

I cannot wait to finally see the fruit of all your work and be able to hear all those tones in context when you'll (be able to)get Doug, a bassist etc in the shed!

[@davidrohland9319]

Great episode! Your delay episode of last week followed by this amazing duel overdrive, well, absolute perfection! Thank you so much for all of the great content. By the way, I love my Protein!

[@boybitzprod]

All are lovely indeed! KOT user for years but that Protein sounds beautiful as well!

[@neilgrimes]

NICE WORK everyone involved in this live TPS show! I can only imagine how much effort has gone into making this happen so smoothly. Quality. 🤘😻😼👍

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Agree - they are the Best = phenomenal job all-the-way around.

[@devilsinkpot]

Really enjoyed your live show today. Pre-recorded might be smoother, but the chemistry between you two shines a lot more when you're live!

[@GazP23]

Amazing show guys, what a great line-up of pedals. I'm eagerly awaiting my KoT slot, probably only a couple of years to wait now, ha ha.

[@alexledford4747]

I still love the Wampler Dual Fusion. When you work it together with a good Fuzz and a light boost, you can get any sound and feel you can think of. But man...the Duellist 😍

[@brianpara1407]

Mick - playing everybody’s guitar but his own 😂 nothing but love. 👍

[@gbarge4]

Can't believe I missed this live. Early for PST. Beautiful tones. Nimble audio assistance. Picture in picture during Pedal Cam worked well. Great fun and well done. Ordered Dan's cap and Neville's cd. Cheers, boys.

[@lewisratford2908]

The dualist is pure SRV in a box. Just sounds awesome through my DR Z Maz. Once you’ve spent all day blending and flicking switches you can actually start enjoying it once you’ve found your tone. Worth every penny.

[@dustinarnold79]

Are you talking about the internal switches

[@cclubb85]

Killer show as always gents, thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought the Picture in Picture of you guys while on Pedal cam was a fantastic editorial touch 👌

[@jeffhutchins6874]

The protein and the gladio! I want a protein. There is a no talking Browne protein demo on youtube that is just a guy ripping blues rock that is flippen GLORIOUS! Nice job as always from a TPS lifer.

[@Yupppi]

Really nice episode, somehow the mood was different live despite not interacting with the chat. To be honest I like it that way so you can focus on the topic at hand. Shoutouts to how smooth and produced it was even in a live setting, totally didn't expect all the smooth camera changes and whatnot. Mick must be poking himself mad thinking about all the possible mistakes that happen when doing things live, but it was great, no need to second guess this episode. I was kinda hoping unedited live show would mean more sidetracking without control, but unfortunately we barely got any sidetracks at all. Dan's jacket was awesome btw, great outfit today.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Yeah, this is pretty much exactly as it happens when we film normally - nobody believes us! :0)

[@Stashmanfpv]

This is an EXCELLENT video!!! 🔥 I purchased all these pedals, one at a time, because of this video and all 4 pedals sound terrific in my setup. I just had gotten into pedals and own a Wampler Gearbox, Dual-Fusion, and a Freidman BE-OD (dual pedal) and luv’n all, but these 4 pedals are really something special. Iplay ‘em all through either a Marshall 2204 and my Ceriatone OTS 20 (FANTASTIC AMP) They all sound amazing through these 2 amps and can’t find a bad sound in any of ‘em! Fantastic video! Thanks guys! 🔥✌🏼

[@bigradio9396]

Really, fellas! That was the best hour of live geek nerdy goodness I’ve been treated to in a long time. Color me Gladio...or KOT...or...color me all!

[@whatwouldhousedo5136]

Duellist with Mick's Paul was amazing. I have the TC Nova Drive and really like it. Slips under most people's radar, very overlooked pedal. You can stack the sides in either order or run them in parallel, and store 18 presets.

[@musicalSFCat]

Hands down, mainly a Fender Strat player. After your great demo of the Duellist, just ordered one today. Gladio would be my second personal choice. Another very impressive O.D. pedal! Great demo, playing from the both of you...reviewing all four "top Tier" overdrive pedals. Cheers to your lovely channel! Subscribed.

[@ralvknights]

At 1:00hr Dan got into Galactic Melodic Mode. The Protein sounded like a super pedal with a decay sweetnes only matched by the King of Tone low gain setting. All pedal sounded like champions. Great episode.

[@zerohourdrift]

Mick, that intro was next level. Tone was out of the ballpark, playing was stellar, I’m jealous af I can only imagine what it was like in person!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thanks! It’s awesome when we have the amps and the volume. Nothing like it!

[@kodykindhart8230]

Not click bait Love this you read my mind w this one Actually helping w g.a.s. Because no matter what you chaps play it’s always glorious I feel like we are family and I appreciate your humility whilst blowing my mind 😎

[@smwatson1512]

Brilliant job with this episode guys. I've got two duals on my board. The Coppersound Foxcatcher which I absolutely adore, and the Amp11 which I also love but probably cooled on a bit recently. Now experimenting with amp-like drives. The fantastic JHS Superbolt and newly-acquired Crazy Tube Circuits Killer V. I blame my pedal addiction on you chaps, by the way.

[@murfmurphy6212]

I'm loving the Wampler Dual Fusion right now... that said the KoT never leaves my board except when I don't have the space. Love the live format, you should do this once a month.

[@denismguitar1552]

KOT honorable mention as the “you can never go wrong” addition to your board.

The King of Tone with the Strat and reverb and delay was just epic tone.

[@tokoulli1]

Great episode guys. Would also be worth to check the Jam Pedals Double Dreamer. Excellent dual drive with great versaitility

[@williamsmothers8830]

I started watching and following TPS 3 or 4 years ago, can't remember for sure. I have always watched and listened to the show on high quality studio gear/monitors and HD TV. At first and for a long time, I had a difficult time hearing the nuances between similar pedals. Hell, I often had trouble hearing the difference between a fuzz and an overdrive! Thanks to Dan, Mick and the entire TPS staff and guests over those years, I have learned and trained my old, tired, amateur ears. I really appreciate today's show for the subtleties, not just for the humor and good music.

[@MrDavemiley]

This was one of my favorite "pedal comparison" videos from "That pedal show !

[@joshuasummers6109]

I love my Gladio, they don't mention in their marketing that when you stack both sides together, you get a Warren Haynes / high gain Soldano sound. It really is just an amazing pedal.

[@edwardjons8684]

Love my Gladio - my favourite OD pedal in 30 years.

[@Paul-dw2cl]

Never heard of it but it sounds great. Maybe have to it on my list

[@mattgilbert7347]

It continues to impress in demos & TPS. I've never played one (Jetter serves my Dumblish needs atm) - but it seems so unique. As a clean boost, it seems to embiggen the tone. "Embiggen" is a real word because of The Simpsons.

[@CorbCorbin]

@@mattgilbert7347 Seen many a fish, hmbut that’s a...embiggen.

I think it says a lot about the talents of everyone involved in TPS that watching this seven hours after the fact I didn't notice a difference in quality of playing, rhythm of conversation or editing or anything, really, from a 'normal' show. Well done, all.

[@ChadWork1]

I love the Gladio! I use Ch 1 (Left) gain at 9 O'Clock as my "clean" sound w/Tone at Noon. That feeds the other channel nicely.

[@TheWelhaven]

Owned two KoTs and one SunLion. Now I’m boosting a OD-3 with a SD-1w. Great sounds. Update 4 months later: I’m back with my old KoT again :)

[@billavonda1604]

Man you're noodling in this one is next level. Mick blistering stuff with Les Paul into the protein. I'm liking that pedal

[@TheWheezinHeathen]

Oooh picture in picture now? Fancy :P Caught this late because of work, but having caught up I now realise that I need at least two of these pedals in my life ^_^ great show as always guys

[@zigajanezic7720]

One of the most inspiring episodes. I am into pedals for quite a long time now. I never stacked pedals. Always one for one sound. This episode made me run to my music room and stack TS into bluesbreaker style and odr into bd2. Thank you. Greetings from Slovenia.

[@ThatPedalShow]

YES!

[@redmosq4197]

I got the Protein a few months ago and think it’s incredible! These pedals all sounded great!

[@zootallures1]

D&M, Great live show, well done!! It was also great to hear these wonderful ODs with such lush delay and reverb. Since completing my wet/dry rig, I’m surprised at the amount of delay and reverb I have been dialing in. A little spring reverb on the dry side and a whole lot of modulated delay and reverb on the wet side. Sonic bliss! Because Tone….Because of you guys! Cheers!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Totally, it can be sooooo much deeper and verby and delay-y when there’s a dry signal present. Mmmmmmm

[@mikeoxley9121]

Had a King of Tone in 2010 - stupidly sold it a few years later! (On the list for a new one over 3 years now). But, I just got the Duellist, and love it! The Protein was surprisingly good! Great video, guys!

[@jarrodwhite3168]

Some of my favs: EQD Palisades, Xotic BB+, JHD Double Barrel, and JHS Sweet Tea.

[@gregsteffey1266]

I love what you guys do. I am in the real amp camp as well but have gone to amp sims when I play live for reasons outside of my control. I find overdrive pedals hit amp sims differently than real amps. As more and more of your fans go to amp sims like the ACS1 or UA Ruby or Dream, I think it would be important to do pedal comparisons using amp sims especially when it comes to overdrive pedals. That would actually be a good show topic. How Overdrive Pedal Reacts with Real amps VS amp sims” 😊

[@rjroth4869]

So much fun. What great pedals. I own the D&M but would gladly add any of these four!

The Truetone VS-XO is a really underrated dual OD in my humble opinion. I never see anyone talk about it and I get the best overdrive sounds I ever had out of it. Great episode as always, gents. Cheers :)

[@mattgilbert7347]

Absolutely. It's phenomenal

[@FarewellApollo]

​@@mattgilbert7347 great minds think alike, mate. So many great, different tones out of it.

[@mattgilbert7347]

@@FarewellApollo haha cheers mate. The Wampler Paisley Deluxe is comparable to the VS-XO. I like them both. A Nobels ODR-type and a heavily modified TS. The VS-XO has that clean blend which is so useful when stacking another drive pedal or Fuzz into the right side

[@FarewellApollo]

@@mattgilbert7347 Oh yeah, that clean blend is a fantastic addition. One of the things that sold me on it originally. Also the clipping and bass switches is such a cool idea and opens up even more tweak-ability options. That's awesome. I haven't tried the Wampler before, I'll definitely have to check it out. What kind of sounds/tweakability does it offer that's different from the VS-XO?

[@BK-lx5mo]

Listening (without watching), the Protein really made my ears perk up. At least on YT, the immediateness and clarity are terrific.

[@plaintigergrrr8496]

They all sound great, but more importantly all four of those pedals LOOK cool as heck 😎😉

[@ngsanfo7927]

Can I just say thank you for running humbuckers through all of these. I know you guys don’t never use them but being bucker exclusive myself, I sometimes feel not part of the club

[@jklmopqtstuvwxyz5349]

Hbs rule when it comes to getting gain.

[@rams2702]

i never had more fun with any pedal than with the protein. it's a very, very special pedal!

[@Telecoaster]

Once I bought the 2022 Duellist, I was able to sell most my other overdrive pedals. If you have a blackface amp, this pedal is divine. It's not your typical Amp in a box pedal but it blends so well with your existing sound. And if you have an amp where the String Sider Side is too thin (bright Marshalls perhaps? Hiwatts? Voxes?), the Heavy Hand side comes into action. The dip switches are located on the outside, very convenient. But the best feature is the fat / stock / glass switch on both sides. Makes all the difference to me! Usually I'm on glass though because I don't set up my amps with lots of treble. At the moment I'm using it with a 64 Custom Deluxe Reverb. Perfect combination! The only thing it cannot do is that pure clean boost like my Klon does. But I don't really miss it. And stacking both sides - what I usually hate on most drive pedals, including the King of Tone, sounds very organic. Anyway, enough of me rambling ... cheers!

[@rawknbearbell7032]

They all are so different yet similar in some ways. I'm sure each one could be considered the "best" in a certain situation. That said, the Gladio might be the coolest sounding overdrive I've ever heard on your channel. There's just something about it.

[@williamdavis7274]

Way to go Dan! Really like how you handled the "tremendous amount" of gain! Feel like your playing has been really improving!

[@IamMusicNerd]

Browne’s website says the blue channel is not based on the BD-2, but rather the Marshall Bluesbreaker circuit. They just increased the output and gave it more tone shaping capabilities. The green channel is based on a Noebels ODR1. And gasp… I think I like it even more than my KoT, which I never thought I would say after waiting 4 years for that thing!

[@LeviBulger]

How did Mick not get that? It amazes me how often these two are wrong about things and give out bad information 😂. I thought they're supposed to be some sort of pedal omnipotents.

[@jamesrobinson529]

The Cornerstone Gladio is my favorite sounding of the four. It has the kind of tone that will make me reach for my guitar the moment I open my eyes from sleep.

[@dailygiftsforever]

For rock guitar, I always have a reverb, delay, chorus, overdrive, fuzz, vibe and a wah. Go anywhere with that line up, in the right hands. Best depend on what you like tonality wise. Some like classic others metal, and all can be dialed in... the separation for me begins in the high gain area... all have a unique top end. Good job guys... from the U.S.

[@lonnyhandwork422]

Fully understand why you didn’t go “self-licking ice cream” for this comparo. That said, just got a D&M Label Maker and it’s replacing my KOT on my board. Much more useable for my playing. I do really like that Protein though - esp with humbuckers - and, conveniently, my ODR 1 is acting funky... (and not funky in the musical sense...). Thanks for a great video!!

[@VibhasPatil]

Safe to say that we're going to be out $500 at the very least after this video lol. Another good one Mick and Dan! The protein sounds so good!! And the KoT of course is a legend at this point.

[@brookscarney7209]

Dear Mick. Hey mate. Just wanna day I so thrilled you guys finally tried the Protein. My fave OD by far. You should also check out the T4 fuzz. Absolutely incredible as well. One thing to address. The blue side is actually not a BD2 but a Bluesbreaker inspired circuit. Mr Browne just confirmed this with me.

[@Kaisermb1]

Just got a Protein and it’s great enough that I’ve re-designed my drive section around it. The thing for me is that it shines with my strat and Les Paul both. Very versatile and fresh flavors from the standard dual pedals.

[@samadkins4122]

I LOVE the protein. The first thing I noticed with each side individually and together was this clarity that I really connected with. Especially through the clean side of my TS1 I’ll leave the blue side on just to give the sound some extra character and kick the green on to drive.

[@ThatPedalShow]

All I can see here is TS1. Mmmmm TS1. Mick here, obvs. :0)

[@samadkins4122]

@@ThatPedalShow Mick, that is 100000% appropriate.

[@benspinks342]

Thing I love about the dualist is you can coax so many different sounds out of it, plus the toggle switch settings are before drive and the tone after so you can do the push/trick really well.

[@Jax2850]

Besides all the great tone from your playing of these 4 dual overdrives, the star of the show was the backup! That Free The Tone Future Factory is the sweetest warmest coolest sounding delay I've ever heard featured on your show! My wallet, 15 minutes after the show ended, was seriously depleted!

[@stephendouglas9423]

Free The Tone Future Factory sounds like Magic. More so than most.

[@BellTunnel]

I have four overdrive pedals on my board. Three of them are dual overdrives: the D&M, KOT, and the Duellist. The fourth is the Stardust V2, Blackface Overdrive. The Stardust might be my favorite right now. It really nails the sound of my Deluxe Reverb turned up. I can’t often turn it up, and the pedal sounds so sweet. Highly recommended.

[@timchalmers1700]

I’m sorry I can’t support the show by buying stuff yet but I’m saving for a D&M drive and I just wanted to ask Mick, I have a Stratocaster from the 90’s that I think is a Squier but the previous owner reshaped the guitar and headstock but the bridge will not go flat to the body no matter what I do, I have got it as flat as it will go but I just don’t want to mod it due to it being my first guitar that I got 16 years ago when I was 10.. but what could I do to get the Trem to go flush to the body and stop the fret buzz on the frets past 14?? (which I barely play on) thank you for everything you have done for me and inspired me to do!! You are heroes

Great playing guys! That Protein sounds amazing!!!

[@Iskaral_Pust]

These all sound amazing and doesn't pick choosing one any easier -- especially with the addition of the Cornerstone Imperium. Also sorta isn't fair playing through a two rock! Everything sounds great through that thing!

Purchase a Fender Twin Deluxe Reverb... in the digital format. With a good board, cable and guitar... you can match and exceed the two rock fairly easily. 45 years playing an electric guitar.

Smoother than a greased lothario. Amazing effort from the whole TPS team. Everything sounded awesome today. Dan, I want that Gretsch. Mick, Blue is _never_ the wrong Strat.

Live episode, worked like a charm! I can see a pattern here. Watched TPS -> bought BK Butler Tube Driver. Watched TPS -> bought Marshall Bluesdriver Watched TPS -> bought Boss RE-20 Space Echo ... Fortunately I already have a couple of awesome single >and< dual overdrives to accommodate my addiction. Mainly the Xotic BB Plus, which is so very versatile! ... Famous last words... :oD

Oops! Thanks for being with us Ramsey!

Great show, great pedals. Gladio does indeed have less overlap with the other three. For some additional fun, stack across pedals: right (TS) side of Duellist as boost into left side of Gladio, for example.

The Protein truly is absolutely magnificent.
