Can these pedals BEAT the KING OF TONE? | Gear Corner

hi, do you use humbuckers with it? if so hows that low frequency? i really like that pedal but i had a wampler overdrive before and it was really awsome but just to much lows. Got really muddy using a neck humbucker

[@Pro355Street]

@@grahamkelly8299 the Bass, treble, and presence knobs are all active and powerful. If you run the pantheon into a clean channel and keep the gain low your tone will be creamier and roll off a bit of the peaky high end, not muddy with humbuckers or single coils.

[@AndrewLewisHowe]

REALLY great shootout format, man! Love the way you've sectioned up the comparisons and labeled them, and especially how you gave us a low-end shootout! (Wampler pedals generally have flat low-end fully CCW on their bass knobs, as you stated). My current favorite BB-based pedal is one nobody would expect: the Rogue Blues Distortion. Real open and dynamic, but they changed components in such a way that it's weird to dial in. Another fav of mine is the left side of the Tone City King of Blues. It appears to be a direct clone of the Marshal BB Mk1. Right side is a klone. Fully independent channels. Two great clones in one. My Rowin Bluesy is fine for my fly rig. Blues Drivers, especially with the bass mod, have a lot in common with a bluesbreaker, tonally at least. Decent cheap clones are the Mooer Blues Mood and the TC Electronic Cinders - both true bypass.

[@rileyioacura]

Could you do a show on a good affordable pickup change for guitars, also more affordable alternatives to boutique pedals!!

[@vag8sg]

Hi, Kris! I' m big fan of your channel. I love the content and the tasteful playing! One thing that drives me crazy when I run an overdrive through a clean amp is to hear the clean signal of the guitar. I know this gives clarity and "clear" overdrive effect but it's a matter of personal taste and I feel it like the pedal is hitting a roof dynamically. From this video, for example I can hear that the foxcatcher does let a very obvious amount of signal passing through undistorted. Could you please rank all 5 to understand which has the less amount of this effect because I still enjoy a non mid humpy pedal. Thank you in advance!

I have to admit, that KOT sounds pretty damn good!

[@coreyclark6505]

I have the Pantheon and really like it. It's great at the edge of breakup and the higher gain type stuff due to the three different gain settings and alternate clipping options. The Presence knob is a bit weird where unity is almost all the way off. Its a pretty bright sounding pedal though, even with the bass that comes through. I really like it on my v40 with my strat because it makes the strat heard.

[@KrisBarocsi]

That sounds like a really good combo: strat - Pantheon - V40. 👍cheers Corey!

[@benediktmaier6388]

I think especially in the high gain territory the Foxcatcher was the only one to reproduce the characteristic behaviour of the KOT, namely that it's almost as if there are two guitars at the same time - a clean one in the front and another distorted one behind it. All the other pedals only produced a "distorted-only" characteristics from what I hear.

[@johnnymcgeemusic]

Pantheon seems to be the closest if you really want a KoT type pedal. I really like the fox catcher on it’s own, but but it’s a bit too bassy sounding, I feel like those nice tones would get lost in a mix. I really like the morning glory, that less bassy, crispness is what will shine through in a mix, that one is the winner for me

I haven’t seen it on your channel but any thoughts on “different” drives? I know it’s a bit old but I really like the Walrus 385. They, along with Keeley, Emerson, and others are based here in Oklahoma. If you haven’t tried it, check it out. Like I say, it’s different and may not be your thing. Keep rocking and doing what you do. Thanks brother.

[@KrisBarocsi]

Hey Eric, some Walrus love is coming up on my channel very soon. ;) And most of my guitars have Emerson pots and electronics in them. So I guess that makes me an Oklahoma fanboy. Haha! I'm fine with that. Cheers!

[@craiger2399]

You're a really good player, and I like your honest commentary. The KoT was my favorite, but of the substitutes I liked the Pantheon, and the Morning Glory. Because I run a Blues Deluxe played on the "bassy side", the Morning Glory would probably work better for me.

[@KrisBarocsi]

Craiger Thanks a lot! 😁 Good point with the Blues Deluxe. I think the Morning Glory would work best for medium gain and the Foxcatcher for sparkly low gain drive. Cheers

[@PastorCamachoWorship]

Hey man! Great vid love it! (Pantheon owner, also. Since the first Mont it came out) Got a question: Have You ever stack both, the pantheon and morning Glory? And what's your opinion? In terms of sound... I want to buy a MG .. is worth?

[@KrisBarocsi]

Hey Pastor, I didn't try stacking them. If I would, I had the MG in front of the Pantheon. Why? The morning glory sounds a bit narrower and sweeter with less low and high end. That pretty much always works in front of more amp like drive pedals (which would be the Pantheon in this case). Cheers!

[@stanesposito2664]

To be honest, the Pantheon has two higher gain settings you didn't use when comparing it to the KOT red side until the end. They'll all get you in the ballpark. Just hearing different mids.

[@JohnShalamskas]

The Blues Crab has a lot more mid boost than the KoT. KoT has a subtle mid boost, not nasal. Nice to see you demo the KoT with both sides enabled.

[@benskurbe]

Whether the goal is to find an alternative that close to the KOT or just to find an awesome sounding bluesbreaker style OD for its own sake, the Blues crab and foxcatcher seem to be the best in my opinion. Foxcatcher may be better as a KOT alternative bc of the boost but for a lower price, two blues crabs would actually probably do the same job and sound a bit closer to a KOT. Another worthy mention for the blues breaker category is the snouse Black box 2. Just got it after a few month wait and have to say it’s probably the most versatile bluesbreaker style od with the switching options. You can kinda get into high gain Marshall tones if you want or just get classic bluesbreaker tones that are super accurate according to those who own actual bluesbreakers. Whether it’s better than these other clones, I can’t say. I haven’t AB’d BB pedals together as the various clones are never in the same store together.

[@Bombilakus]

I have recently acquired the Pantheon, I love that pedal, it's not a one trick poney pedal, so in that sense it's more versatile than the others presented here. Plus its tone controls allow to adjust to different amps, and although it has many controls it's super easy to dial. No bad sounds

Great video man! I've been trying to find an "inspiring home-tone" setup since all of this quarantine chaos started and was wondering if I could get your opinion.

[@KrisBarocsi]

WillyM415 Hey man, thanks a lot! If you have an amp you really like, stick to it and use an awesome attenuator or even a load box and go IR.

[@CargoShorts7]

@@KrisBarocsi Right on, thanks man! I'll look into all of those!

[@LeviBulger]

The KoT is a great, great pedal. But just like the Klon, they're easy enough to replicate these days. No reason to buy boutique unless you are trying to impress other guitar players, which a lot of guitarists seem to want to do. It's like they forget the audience is all that matters, and they're not gonna give a ratsass that you have them. I personally think the MG is even better with single coils or at least just as great as the KoT. And the Pantheon works so well with Fender amps because of its awesome EQ. I haven't played the Foxcatcher, but it also seems to hold its own.

[@bruhdamartinasty3636]

I have the Foxcatcher and am trying to get rid of it. Yes, it does have a beautiful tone, and if you can dial in the tone that you like and just leave it alone, then you'll be happy with it. But if you're tweaker and want different combinations of sounds out of it, forget it. The controls are very strange. I don't use the "Nature" (presence) dial at all. Both the tone and gain knobs have a tremendous effect on volume. It's hard to enjoy what it has to offer in a quiet setting. :)

[@ChrisChris-up3kl]

Really nice video.Every pedal was great,i prefered the pantheon for some reason and the more blues one.

[@CentaurusRelax314]

They all sound pretty similar. If no one was telling me which was the KoT, i doubt anyone would know. The Blues Crab sounded 'duller' on the first go-round, but then similar on the other riffs. I think i liked the Foxcatcher with the Tele. I don't think anything has sounded _better_ than the KoT, though. Thanks for this comparison. My name came up for the King of Tone late last year, but i've been putting it off. [Shoe is on the other foot-now, they're waiting for *_me._* Feels gooooood. / jk] /// Might want to reach out to the Coppersound folks. I tried to access their site from your link, and got a 'danger' block on Chrome. Had to pull up my big boy pants, take a deep breath and bypass it, and then the site was running slowly. Really great that you summarized at the end. Great comments. You may have gotten me re-excited about the KoT. The Yellow side with your Tele at the end, sweet.

[@KrisBarocsi]

Yes they can sound very similar under certain circumstances. The differences show immediately though if you swap guitars or play something different. They all feel very different too under the fingers. For low gain the Foxcatcher is incredible. For low to medium gain I love the KoT most, but the Pantheon and the Morning Glory feel really really good too. By the way, I just checked the Coppersound link. It works perfectly, I hope it does for you too. Don't worry about the Google "danger message", it's all safe. Haha! Google is a little overprotective, but that's alright. Haha!

What are the trim pot settings in the KoT for this video?

[@stanislavmigra]

Great video Kris. Very infromative. I have no bonds to KoT and what I see and hear from many demos, it is pedal, you have to feel playnig yourself under your fingers, rather then giving any overwhelming sound in demo, so hard to judge it like this. Wampler Pantheon have very smooth creamy sound to the overdrive, that I will not compare it here with other KoT/Bluesbreaker pedals, as I expect them all to somewhat to the old Marshall amp, that have bite and some agression to it. But man, does it deliver with full gain on. Feels like it was the only pedal build to be really cranked all the way up. Id say, it reminds me more of the mythical D-style overdrive JHS Morning glory have very interesting "bark/growl" to it, like touch of fuzz or what to it. I noticed this with many JHS pedals (twintwelve, kilt, charlie brown). It sounds like lot of fun to mess around with that. Foxcatcher was kinda disapointement to me, as it have to my ears strange uppermid hump, that started to annoy me after short while. Moer Blues crab, big surprise and I will say sounding closest to KoT, hard to judge from video as KoT to me looks like all about the player experience (like driveing good car, you might not to see it from outside or even inside, if you are not driveing it). Funny thing is, that this video drives me away from that kind of pedal, as those sounds I kinda can get from my Marshall using boost pedal, haha. Last time Im having pretty heavy GAS for tweed like pedals (ie Catalinbread Formula 55 or Mad Professor Tweedy drive), or the new Mythos Lark (damn that things drives me craaaazy, haha) ... Again, great great video, very good work. Thank you very much for it, it looks like pleeenty of work.

[@It_is_now]

[@roscius6204]

I've had my original BB from new. It's still the best one. It's the pedal you forget you're playing until you don't.

[@GTX1123]

Try the older version of the Wampler Pinnacle Deluxe. It's a dist pedal but really more of an overdrive-dist that really captures the classic Marshall JMP "brown sound". Most high end boutique dist pedals sound great with your guitar volume dimed but sound thin and tinny when you roll your guitar volume back. This is where the older Pinnacle Deluxe shines. It interacts quiet well with your guitar volume giving you a variety of tones. The V2 of the Pinnacle isn't as good IMHO.

[@hotblackdesiato3451]

You made all of them sound good but the Strat into the KoT was the best.

[@neverquit7190]

And after all of that you can just get a JHS 3-series Overdrive, which A/B's equally with the Morning Glory and KOT.

[@nathaniellarson8]

It is not the same circuit, but it does sound great.

[@lescaster2179]

I have the 3 series OD (dumble-esque) and the Morning Glory (BB). While I may be able to dial in a specific pair of settings to find some relative matched tone, they quickly stray from one another outside of that. Not the same circuit, very different core personalities.

[@broifyouaskme1448]

I have a Foxcatcher. The functionality is pretty weird. The right foot switch can be set as either a boost or an added gain. But the added gain is only slight.

With single coils the difference is negligible to my ears. The things really change with humbuckers. I prefer the KOT and the FoxCatcher. I didn't like the Morning Glory.

the mooer is like, a quarter the price of any of the others

Fox catcher and Mooer sound the best

Try a pedal by a small co. Called daddy /daughter "my little klony.theybmake a dual little klony side 1 gold side 2 silver.and my friends if you can find one ur lucky.sounds closest ti the protein drive.by Browne Amps..really great musical pedal for around 150$.

[@dobster5819]

Not one of these pedals sounds like the real thing. King of tone is the king. Good video, and well produced. Thank you.

[@mehegama]

they sound pretty close in my opinion. Either in a live or a mix they ll be indistinguishable. Even worse 99% wouldnt even care, so youncan get there with either of these

[@nathanielnovero]

@@mehegama yeah, but the big thing on KOT is the feel under your fingers. It's mind blowing man!

The Morning Glory is brighter than a BluesBreaker

[@KrisBarocsi]

Good to know, thanks! It also definitely has more gain and volume on tap. And it's more versatile thanks to the extra switches. Cheers!

Bought the Pantheon, cause I ain't gonna wait 3 years for a KOT. Besides you can stack the Pantheon with another great pedal and get a more unique tone. Everybody will soon have the King of Tone sound. There is no King of Tone on Jeff Beck his pedalboard, there is no King of Tone on Mark Knopfler his pedalboard.... believe me everybody can have an unique and great tone without the King of Tone.

I've got a pedal I bought on eBay for $17 with free shipping. It will blow all of those pedals out of the water. It is the best bluesbreaker style pedal I've ever used oh, and I have used the original bluesbreaker. I bought one back in 1994 when I was 13 years old. Wish I still had it I would make a lot of money selling it to these young guitarist that think it's worth a month salary. I also used to have a klon centaur, silver. I've got three other pedals that sound way better than the klon centaur ever sounded. You don't need to spend all your money on gear just get decent gear and learn how to use it properly. Any guitarist should be able to take a board with straight up budget pedals and get the sounds that they want. All your personal tone comes from your fingertips not the gear. Great video though man I'm digging a channel. I have been on the hunt for tone since 1989, it's going to be hard to convince me that I need to spend my money on Boutique bullshit. But keep up the good work it's very entertaining LOL.

What's the name of that $17 bluesbreaker type pedal?

[@mark5150ty]

@@pedrohenriquepietracci3061 I'm not here to support brands. My point was is that you should look for pedals that work for you. Don't assume that something is bad if it's cheap. Your search for tone should be yours alone, don't expect somebody to tell you what the best Pedal is. Tone is subjective, find your own.

[@AndrewLewisHowe]

@@mark5150ty Wow, but aren't you super helpful. I'm here shopping for BB pedals and you won't share the great one you've encountered at a price point I could take a risk on w/o hearing some demos of. Uh, don't think of it as supporting brands. Think of it as supporting your fellow artists. The rest of what you say is 100% accurate. So far my favorite BB variant is a $40 Rogue Blues Distortion, but it has just a bit too much low-end for my rig. You don't need to spend a lot on this muffler...

[@mark5150ty]

@@AndrewLewisHowe by all means $40 sounds like a deal for a great pedal
