such beautiful sounds. time for another 3 weeks of only tame impala

[@PeterGuitarSound]

Thanks, great comparaison. They've nailed this reissue.

[@kylehicks]

Sweet.

[@castrucciocastracani0]

Hi man, great video as always. Wich type of reverb (room,spring,plate,..) do you use for kevin tone?

[@TameTones]

As I put in the video I stick with the Holy Grail reverb which is the only one he tends to use 99% of the time. And always on the Hall mode.

[@coldacre]

good. they sound the same.

[@cjscala87]

I thought the original is 18V ? Did you find the new version closer to Tame Impala tones on 9V or 18V?

[@GrannyTrees]

还原度好高!

The original has obvious low end girth. Sounds tapered or low passed on the new version. More of an appearance of openness and width on the original diamonds. It’s 18v. Not sure about the new one. 18v? 9v? Guessing 9v. New one def has the tone. The old double wide form factor and the build of the original diamonds is very appealing . I have a few including the vibrato. Have not seen the inside of the new ones but space/ form factor plus headroom are going to sacrifice something in new production. Solid gold fx make great pedals in their own right in that 9v form factor. I have 3 fuzzes by them. Good company.

[@joaquinfeelings]

The reissue also can run at 18v. The only thing different feature wise about the new one is the lack of expression inputs

[@thebreakfastmenu]

Yeah there's something different about the old version but I can't quite place what. The new one sounds good, but the old one sounds "gooier"

[@mauricioacuna1004]

​@@thebreakfastmenu maybe just increase the depth a bit more...

[@coldacre]

you're listening with your eyes man. there is zero difference in bottom or top end between the two. I'm listening on JBL 6.5 monitors and the only difference is how hard he digs in with his picking hand. nothing to do with the pedal. these 2 pedals are so ridiculously similar its nonsense to pretend otherwise. Pete Thorn & Andy Timmons feel the same. @GreySH101

[@thebreakfastmenu]

@@coldacre I listened with MDR7506s. And I blind tested myself with this video. It sounds good but there is a difference.

[@staminuptime7646]

What guitar are you using

[@TameTones]

Rickenbacker 330

[@rogeliosalinas7100]

What song are you playing at 8:01?

[@TameTones]

Just a chord progression I made up lol

[@GreenGoblinFoodReview]

This is great, but can anybody recommend a good clone or something similar and cheaper

[@cesarrodriguez-xy8nl]

I have the diamond vibrato OG but I’d say if you want something cheaper but quite close get the Julia v2 chorus/vibrato it’s still a bit expensive but way less then the $500-$800 range of the diamond

[@baseboardmatt]

Malekko Vibrato can be had used for around 120-140, uses same chip

[@raccoonraccoon0203]

Ehx Eddy

[@coldacre]

Behringer UV300 is the VB-2 clone that no one can pick in a blind test @GreenGoblinFoodReview

[@robertodiaz3359]

I’d recommend the JHS emperor, I really like the vibrato setting. It’s no diamond vibrato but it does the job
