[@dannyllerenatv8635]

The MXR Timmy and Duke of Tone are a proper homage to the PC Timmy and KOT/POT. Mike Pierra and Paul Cochrane signed off on them, and they are both notorious for refusing to release or send a pedal if it's not up to their standard, so do not be afraid of the fact that these are "mass-produced". Both are wonderful pedals.

Did you copy/paste this comment on every video about the DoT?

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

@@chipsterb4946 Nope, wrote it on one video, and paraphrased it one the other.

[@chipsterb4946]

@@dannyllerenatv8635 fair enough. I use an MXR Timmy all the time and ordered the DoT. There’s just so much sketchy “marketing” on the internet reading a very similar comment on 2 videos made me think that’s what this was.

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

@@chipsterb4946 There is a lot of sketchy marketing on the internet, without a doubt. I own a Timmy V3 and a Tim V3 and I absolutely adore both pedals. It is also nice to know that if for whatever reason my Timmy failed on me, I can walk into a local store and quickly grab the MXR version and not skip a beat.

[@jaimemoraleschannel]

Seriously man, you did a great demo, you got skills and were able to demonstrate what the pedal could do VERY clearly. Cheers for a job well done.

[@coreycongilio]

Thanks a lot!

[@edmoss2020]

one of the few players on the tube that plays with authority and plays every note clean...mark of a pro....great demo, thanks

[@coreycongilio]

Appreciate that, Ed!

[@chrisvsmusicny]

I love the way this intro was edited - it looked like you were sitting next to an enormous Duke of Tone. 😂 Thanks for an excellent video!

[@lancelotlink6545]

I ordered this 4 months back when I first saw your video. Everyone loves this pedal so much apparently because it was backordered and I just got it today. Great pedal! I hope they took care of you on the commish. Thanks!

[@nieze]

That Gibson has such an amazing "pinch scream"..amazing sound.

[@tomdellinger3710]

Well Hell....Christmas is just down the road. Gotta make sure my wife knows all about this. Thanks Corey. Great video and playing as always.

[@freddylopez7536]

Love it. As usual you’re killing it. Thank you sir.

[@brianclayton3329]

Just discovered this channel, and this is my favorite demo of the Duke of Tone by far! Outstanding playing, phenomenal tones, and great explanation of the different modes and (more importantly) how they impact the interaction between instrument and amp. Great work, cheers!

[@coreycongilio]

Welcome aboard!

[@Frankyandhisguitar]

Best demo of this pedal yet, thanks brotha.

[@coreycongilio]

My pleasure!

[@joserra79]

Love the MXR Timmy version, so this one has to be as good. Great job on these new pedals.

[@stringtheoryguitars4952]

One of the best pedal demos on YT. Every tone, every lick, and every word. Bravo!

[@coreycongilio]

👊🏼🙏🏻

[@anti-galacticbackingtracks4154]

This MXR pedal is an ABSOLUTE MONSTER - it has quickly become my ‘go to’ live OD - thank you for a great demo Cory...

[@philroselle1514]

Amazing how much clarity you're getting with the tone only at 11 o'clock

[@DavidFeilyMusic]

Also has to do with the internal treble trim pot. I think the default/stock internal setting for the Duke is a little brighter than the king of tone

[@gerysasko3410]

It was a 4 year wait to get my KoT haha but this little Duke of Tone sounds killer too and available now. It really sings on the Les Paul in particular.

[@indigoprs]

Love the channel and the playing Corey. Duke sounds great, love it too, well done

[@coreycongilio]

thx so much!

[@robertshamansky1912]

I’m really impressed with this and the Timmy. MXR did a great job putting these pedals together.

[@coreycongilio]

The absolutely did.

[@georgewilliams9531]

Dude you are by far one of the best instructors on how to use a pedal your demonstrations is on point your not just here to show off your riffs. A true professional for sure keep up the good work

[@coreycongilio]

Appreciate that very much!

[@laitysblues]

There’s a presence dial on the inside you can adjust. Turn it all the way right to 0 to sound more like the King of Tone/Prince of Tone. King of Tone comes stock with the presence dial on 0.

[@carpediem4413]

Note: the pot is reversed on the DOT.

[@strinichetty9379]

Great pedal ,great playing - awesome Corey !

[@coreycongilio]

Thanks a lot!

Great sounding pedal and awesome demo! Now where can I find myself a ‘67 Princeton…

Hi Corey, only just found your videos. I have to say some of the best I have seen. Keep up the good work. SUBSCRIBED!!

[@coreycongilio]

Hey thanks so much! Welcome aboard!

[@nikhilnarahari8424]

I know this was 2 years ago, but you can tell Dunlop that you just sold me on this pedal - easy. Great stuff as always, Corey 🤘🏽

[@coreycongilio]

I would but, they don't care lol!

[@nikhilnarahari8424]

@@coreycongilio Aw man - that's a damn shame. Well I hope you at least got to keep the pedal! Seriously though, I always appreciate your opinions on things like this. I really relate to your style of playing, and your overviews/demos never leave me wondering about how something might work in any situation I might find myself in. So, while I'm no Jimmy Dunlop, you've at least got my appreciation! 😁

[@andy_k81]

Not even watched the pedal review yet but that opening track blew me away. Fantastic tune/ playing

[@coreycongilio]

Hey thx!

Gosh I’ I’ve really been loving your demos. Good stuff for sure. Thanks for hard work on the content.

Well hello Corey.....😃...your intro sold my soul to the devil ( i mean to the pedal)....ha....that was soooo cool and great.....although i just bought the xotic SL "plexi" pedal.....i'll check this one out.....cheers.....

[@coreycongilio]

Haha! Glad you liked it!!

[@grahamnunn8998]

Great video, love how you give it a real world workout with tones we actually use.

[@coreycongilio]

Appreciate that

[@jessevansant8872]

I already bought this pedal and it’s downstairs waiting for me (haven’t tried it yet), but this is perhaps the best demonstration I’ve seen. I’m primarily a Strat player, but I’d love to know the burst/color-scheme of that Les Paul!

[@coreycongilio]

Thx for watching. This is a dirty lemon burst finish

[@philroselle1514]

Sounds awesome man!!

[@coreycongilio]

thx my brother!

[@Dam-oH]

That intro was excellent. Serious playing!

[@danielmarti]

Great Video playing, thanks. The Duke of Tone is the perfect overdrive pedal for me! I use 2 Duke of Tone pedals, one for crunch sounds, the other for lead sounds. Both on, the sun doesn't go down anymore! I use the boost setting for top dynamics and transparency on both Duke of Tone pedals! ( Strat.with Kinman 59 Pickups, Mod. Boss GE 7, Cali 76 Compact Deluxe, 2x MXR Duke of Tone, etc. )

[@jibx3439]

Awesome demo, thanks! I’m getting one, probably over the morning glory. Your playing has me picking up my guitar more. If you have time, a lesson on those licks you do in demos like this one, or on the blues junior for example, would be great!

[@FuriousWeasel-09]

Great demo, I tried it and didn't like it as much, I was underwhelmed by the low gain aspect of it, but I'm inspired to give it another go, also I'm using a solid state amp so I'm not going to get that same saturation you're getting, but for what it's worth I also tried the Timmy and fell in love with it, definitely more what I was looking for.

[@coreycongilio]

After playing both, if I had to choose, I'd probably take the Timmy too. Thanks for the comment.

[@jonbauer4598]

I run either an 808 style od or my nobels odr 1 with a zen clone style pedal. Love stacking together sounds great and the two style ods really compliment single coils and humbuckers. Curious if you have stacked with other mild overdrives or cleans boosts. May add this to the od arsenal 🤔

[@MrDavemiley]

Yo ! Everything you plan through , you make it sound good !

[@coreycongilio]

well thank you!

[@nickpatsios407]

Great tone in your hands and pedal sounds great

[@johnmac8084]

Sounds great Corey. Really makes that clean polite Princeton scream and wail. And yet it's so articulate. I hate distortion that turns to mush. Of course your playing might have something to do with it as well ;-)

[@coreycongilio]

Thanks for that, John!

[@huuss]

your playing is amazing as always what I wonder maybe you can do pedalboard rig rundown ... yes there are links of gear you are using but wondering specific order and pedals you use live

[@coreycongilio]

Thanks! I use a few different pedalboards for different gigs so, that may be a long video!

[@huuss]

@@coreycongilio Thanks for answer Sir Im sure I will replay that video a lot 🎸🎸🎹🎹😁😁

Loved the intro man ! Great review too

[@coreycongilio]

Much appreciated!

[@TheBEOTS]

G'day Corey, first time viewer and really enjoyed the pedal demo. I think Analogman pulled the right rein teaming up with MXR and produced a ripper of a pedal.

[@coreycongilio]

Thanks for watching, Jed!

Great demo. I was somewhat surprised that I preferred the Boost mode rather than OD and Dist modes. Thanks very much.

Hi, recently discovered your channel. Some really great videos. And yes, you convinced me that a Duke would a great addition to my pedalboard. Have a question about stacking gain pedals... like the Wampler Timnus (SP?) in front of the Duke. What do you think?

[@coreycongilio]

Try it both ways. Before and after. Should work either way, just depends on what you wanna use it for. Boosting for solos or altering the EQ. The choice is yours!

Great review and playing. It really is an outstanding sounding pedal (a must have I think.) I had never listened to this channel before ... subscribed. Chewy? yes .... tone I can actually taste.

[@emartinezr]

What a marvel of craftsmanship that Les Paul is. No matter how or when... whenever a LP gets brought in, it does everything x1000. Brilliant. There's 3 stars in this demo: 1. The Les Paul 2. Your hands 3. The Duke of Tone in no particular order lol Edit: honorable mention: your mustache hahahah 👌👍🤘

[@mnlorenzo]

[@marvinmartin3438]

Dude, I love this pedal. How many watts is it? Is it legal in most countries? Asking for a friend

[@coreycongilio]

it's 1 million gigawatts and it's banned in most places except Tennessee

[@boonatuna]

watched a few demos on this now, it sounds nice! But it doesn't have some unique magic sound to me, maybe a bit when you solo but otherwise just sounds like other pedals. I think King Tone is really pushing the envelope with wow factor tone. Thanks for the demo, great playing :)

[@alguitarchristie]

I got 2! Awesome!

[@guitarheart94]

One thing I've noticed with every demo is how high the volume knob has to be to maintain unity gain or push a little. I'm a little interested to know if this has headroom issues. Also, maybe an oversight by MXR, but it would be nice to have the volume maintain parity between each toggle setting somehow. Though I'm not sure if that represents the prince or king of tone.

[@coreycongilio]

You're not wrong. I definitely had to turn the volume up to achieve unity but, I didn't feel like it was lacking headroom if that makes sense.

[@jcwear89]
