DryBell: Unit67 - The Perfect Sonic Assistant!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Yeah. Zvonch knows what he's doing. Love my Vibe Machine V-1. Brett you are always so thorough.

[@guyfromnj]

Again, I will be buying this pedal. Notice that Brett has all the cool stuff.

[@danjack-son4871]

Bought one because of your demo... cannot wait to put this one into action!

[@georgebarry3153]

Review???

[@danjack-son4871]

@@georgebarry3153 sorry sir.... Demo. :-)

[@Cluless02]

Cool pedal! Aesthetic design very classy!

[@JRP3music]

Digging the music, your jamming too. Nice!

[@BrettKingman]

Thanks!

[@alamosabill201]

I don’t care what pedal you demo, obviously it’s awesome, I just love your playing, just superb. 👍

[@bengalvin9932]

HEY BRETT! THIS 7:45 could be my desert island tone! my strat and this tone/sound and i would be a happy man.

[@MarcCoteMusic]

Quite the handy box of tools. Nice demo, Brett.

[@spost26]

Yep- this pedal seems to be a kind of 'can't live without it' ingredient in a finished guitar sound

[@ronfrey6639]

Great stuff Brett SOLD !

[@manifestgtr]

Oh no...I’ve been wanting an 1176 on my board for a while (mostly for “that” thing it does for guitars). I knew that if I stalled on the cali76 too long, something interesting would catch my eye. Now I have to know THIS thing exists. Thanks a lot, guys....

[@colaboytje]

I liked the demo, but every pedal that boosts the volume will make the amp sound better. Volume is a deceiving factor. To know what a pedal actually does, is to set the volume at unity. Ofcourse if you demo the booster side, you need to demo the volume boost. But the rangemaster, the eq section and the compresser section should be demo-ed at unity, to know how they alter the sound. As soon as boost the volume, the tubes start working harder, the speakers come to life, and it might trick you in believing that it sounds better. That's how they do it at music stores to sell more. They boost the input signal, and it seems like it's a good pedal. But mostly you are hearing more volume. But then you come home or at a gig, and you start using the pedal within an 'allowed' volume range, and you'll be surprised that the pedal doesn't work as you thought it worked at the store. If I go check out a pedal, I first listen to it at unity volume, to hear what the pedal actually does to your sound. Ofcourse this doesn't count for dedicated boost pedals as the purpose is to boost the signal. But for an eq pedal, a compressor and a treble booster, and even overdrives or distortion pedals, I'll always check them first at unity level. It's the only way to evaluate the tone aspect of the pedal by excluding the possibility of being deveived by volume

[@tjallingdejong9645]

true!

[@tihomir7]

You hear only the change in volume???

[@officialWWM]

Why would you ever turn it off?

[@mr.k905]

Very nice with the Strat indeed but not much improvement with humbuckers unfortunately. Wonder if one could achieve the same thing (or even better?) with EQ + compressor + rangemaster type pedals. What do you think? I'm asking because many of us already have those kind of boxes on our boards and the Unit67 costs more than all those together so... However I see the point of having things simplified while saving pedalboard space if you don't need the flexibility of adjusting your sound more accurately with the single devices.

[@shawnreese6538]

Great demo!! pedal sounds great. what I wanted to hear man!!

[@MedeSINman]

Great pedal and video , any links to get the backing track?

[@Shenier_HT]

Great demo as allways, such a warm guy. Which is the soundtrack from the beginin?

[@angrygoldfish]

Bit late to ask this, but any chance you could post your thoughts on the comparison between this and the OKKO Cocaine? They share the same design idea of a combination effect of compression, EQ, and a range booster. But obviously differ internally. The OKKO is a lot cheaper and has the secondary footswitch, but the Unit67 is more compact.

[@Grant_Ferstat]

That's a pretty interesting box!

[@Garflips]

I can tell you like that EJ Strat ! Interesting that the excitement over noiseless pickups seems to have waned. I guess it's not worth the sacrifice in tone - at least for Eric.

[@elmoramadhan3985]

it's a killer for sure!

[@rickc2102]

The kind of pedal where every time you disengage it, you sigh a little and feel something's missing...

[@56davidwright]

Does this work on oranges?

[@richardelson3261]

My favourite pedal. Bar None.

[@jimb1283]

Just bought this off this demo....so awesome....any thoughts on where to put it in the signal chain? I currently have KOT, Simble, OCD, ThorpyFx Fallout Cloud....Any thoughts on the current order? Thank you...

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Wow - Jim B - you made some great pedal choices.

Awesome!!! 🤘🏼🎶

[@j.rozman7016]

Hmm....How would you compare it to Cali76CD compressor?

[@tonray9395]

I wonder why amplifiers fail to have these features available. It just seems that amps are all lacking in the EQ area.

[@LonnyJarrett]

Not the Glasswerks! Got it all built in and sounds great with beautiful organic transition between tones.

[@AvonJunkies]

Oh damn I need this

[@RedRemedyXTC101b]

Great demo as always Brett, But just wondering if you could possibly do another video with it driving a real amp? I don't think analog pedals work well with digital gear, especially boosts, just sounds super shrill and gets lost in translation. Basically all we need to know is how it will affect a great tube amp compressing nicely. Both clean and dirty tones. Doesn't even matter what kind..(I know you have some real amps there, the MI maybe?:) ...I might be wrong, but I think the average joe that loves real pedals, loves real amps aswell and is always keen to know how certain products may work into their established rigs and possibly replace other pedals on their board. - Sorry mate, I'm definitely not trying to be a kill-joy! Appreciate all your videos since day one - not a hater -(only of modelers) Cheers Brett!

[@BrettKingman]

Leigh, since you asked so nicely, I will be glad to accomodate. It might be a few days, though, as I'm on tour at the moment. Cheers, B.

[@RedRemedyXTC101b]

Legend. Thanks! Looking forward to it.

[@BrettKingman]

Here it is. Record time for me! :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/d36cdn2jg9WbiJo

[@kevinjohnbetts]

It does sound good. But for the price it should sound good!! I'm not complaining about the cost as high quality pieces of kit always come at a premium price point. It's out of my league though.

[@officialWWM]

Kevin Betts how much is it?

[@kevinjohnbetts]

I think it's something in the region of 330 Euros if I remember correctly.

[@officialWWM]

Kevin Betts I don't know how much that is in Australian dollars but it sure sounds like a lot, lol.

[@kevinjohnbetts]

Using Google to calculate the exchange rate it's 530 Australian Dollars. Which may be a lot. ;)

[@tochiromifune419]

Ridiculous price.

[@jupjuck]

I wonder what a 5150 or 2204 would make of this meal....

[@Neil-Aspinall]

Kingman gets his Dan on!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Sounds Very Steely Dan - to me too

[@dclipper8052]

SECOND most perfect Strat. First being the ice blue metallic Jim Mack job...

[@BrettKingman]

Haha. That Strat was heavy and a little clunky for mine. Pickups were great, though. It went in short shrift as a trade for the beat up '60 Tele clone I've been using for the last couple of years.

[@CthulhuOO7]

Hmm, this might be required.

[@comesect]

i wanna blast a synth threw this

[@chrisact9601]

Ahh, bugger. I have been thinking of building a pedal just like this. They beat me to it. Sounds cool though. Oh well ... back to the drawing board.

[@alanhaynes418]

I designed and built something very similar - but then the NOS Excelitas Vactrol that I used became stupidly expensive and hard to get hold of, so I only have a couple of prototypes. Must get round to re-jigging it for something that's not too hard to get hold of.

[@70mcnevin]

I'm thankful for easy monthly payments. This thing is pretty unreal. Tone machine.

[@rubendez]

u play real good, pedal sounds like crap.
