Epic Surf Sounds & More: Valco Five-O Pedal Demo

[@simontromans2748]

Everyone will want a lesson on what you've just played!

[@fuzzkillington4376]

Hell Yeah

Yes pls

Improve Sonny...

[@scottconnors8419]

Improv is what I meant to be stated .great improv I love to play random stuff. Called fun w guitar...

[@stephenhawkingsfootballboo7885]

Great demo. It's nice to see someone with impeccable musical tastes use the pedal the way it should be used. I love the drive + reverb option. Instant Bad Seeds/Crime and the City Solution vibes!

[@franckrichard8077]

I got mine, don't let the name Five-0 fool you, this is a REAL BLUES MACHINE ! I plug it inside my Fender VibroChamp or Tremolux, in order to have both reverb and drive and it gives me (almost) everything I need. A great and massive pedal, built like a tank. I just hope Valco won't stop here and offer more pedals like this with modulations such as Univibe and phaser ! it's a great pedal, very simple to use and to achieve the sound you want. Paired with a Stratocaste, this is pure blues madness !

[@octave-up-up-up]

That intro piece was incredible, some wonderfully melodic phrasing; bravo!

[@toddsteele72]

I like the ‘going through different guitars for different tones’ demonstration.Good to hear different types of pick ups.

[@ozuidema]

Damn. That’s one seriously sexy pedal. And great playing, as always.

[@larato5544]

Oh boy. You've had a great day!! I got an email from Eastwood just today about this pedal. Thank you for an excellent review. Cheers.

[@brainguy5132]

Wow! That intro piece was 🔥🔥 Great demo, seems like very useful pedal

[@IndieRocknRollRadio]

Andy hooked my interest, and Adrian reeled me in... You have to respect what these guys do with a guitar. I’m hoping we’ll see plenty of this pedal in future tutorials.

[@thecaveofthedead]

Seems like a great, simple option for classic pre-Beatles guitar sounds. Doesn't hurt that it looks like the weapons arming panel on a cold-war fighter jet either. The reverb may not sound like a classic '63 Fender unit. But it does sound true to the era, nonetheless.

[@TomTom-kv5nf]

Congratulations on 200,000 subscribers....well deserved!

[@wonderpope]

What an intro and review! Thank you :)

[@celyda2]

I do not understand how you are not world famous. Amazing stuff.

[@JeremySmith23]

Wow that intro was incredible! You should make an album of tunes like that.

[@station2station544]

The Cramps

[@JeremySmith23]

@@station2station544 Oh that’s a cramps tune? well it’s a killer cover.

[@station2station544]

@@JeremySmith23 no im just saying that's a good band in the genre of filthy surf. Sorry:)

[@JeremySmith23]

@@station2station544 oh gotcha thanks

[@bradcanrockursox]

@@station2station544 I agree. The Cramps are sensational, and FILTHY SURF is one of my seven addictions, and certainly the healthiest.

[@70zenboy]

Triangle wave on the second trem setting. And pulse wave is spot on.

[@dmthurston]

That is a dope pedal. Thanks for the demo.

[@anne5surf]

Wow! What an amazing sound! I need to get one of these pedals.

[@josh5868]

fantastic playing as always adrien!

[@pan-k5o]

thank you for the great presentation Adrian!! for me the Fender Marine Layer is the ultimate surf pedal, lots of reverb over there ! better matched with a valve amp of your choice !

[@NoWayOut-]

Valco doesn’t disappoint. Way cool.

[@standingbadger]

What a fantastic channel 👍🏼

[@papersquares]

The intro tune was incredible!

[@REPS-kb7up]

Another awesome video that has me tempted to go shopping (if only I could make it sound that good).

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

What an excellent review, I hope that you have been donated the pedal at least, you have sold it to me. The instrumental that you kicked off with was stella, I shall no doubt be learning that one, quality. 😎🎙🎸✅

[@maggieo]

Give it to me NOW! Great Nels/Johnny G vibe, A!

[@Mr.Steve-O]

Greetings Adrian from San Diego, Surfs Up !!

[@Kevin-the-Just]

That intro is gonna turn up in a Tarantino movie, you just know it. 😁 👍🏻

[@skoalmaverick1969]

That is awesome!

[@JohnBrown-z2u]

$379 for those wondering, which isn't bad for three pedals as long as it sounds good. I think it does. I just wish it had an EXP input for trem rate, and it would be nice if you could hit the pre button with your foot. It doesn't really have to be a footswitch, but where it is you pretty much have to stick a finger on it.

[@mkraulis]

Nice playing.

[@station2station544]

Please post that backing track up for your patreons.. Cool vibe - cool pedal.

[@iannicholls7476]

Great demo Adrian and terrific playing. As you were using your Deluxe Reverb amp I wondered if you had any opinions about using a reverb pedal and amp reverb at the same time.

[@studiocartoonsdeluxe]

Fire! Lesson on the intro tune pls!!! Is it a cover?

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

What a fkn sound.

[@jackperri3186]

Which Cramps song was that you played in the beginning? Awesome pedal!

[@davidsanchez6897]

I know you’re into Rowland S Howard, and was wondering if you checked out any of his signature pedals by Reuss effects? And if so, would love to see you do some pedal demos of theirs! Much love!

[@alwnwee4867]

damn this had some cool playing

[@arthurveldhoen3932]

Angelo Badalamenti would surely include your tune on the next Twin Peaks soundtrack. Fab.

[@barrycreed9886]

Looks like a very useful pedal. Add 1 or 2 more pedals to colour things, and you'd have an easy set up for gigs etc.

[@ElvisPriceless]

That modern surf sound sounds like Cornerstone. 🥰

[@dannychristlieb5813]

Like to hear the ultra twist from the cramps to this pedal

[@jax408]

Awesome

[@MrDonaldo17]

Want one

[@lesbrown8099]

Nice!

[@whssy]

What about a lesson on how to play one of the great songs by the Raveonettes? Would give you a good chance to use this pedal I think.

[@paulcoleman3081]

Your playing just made me make a face for ten minutes Adrian! Cowabunga dude!!

[@organjoe]

Intro number: original or cover? great demo as usual. Thanks

[@ShlomirBareket]

Nice review, you should become a gear reviewer, you seem to have a tilt towards UK made gear, maybe get Cornish to send you something! I recently purchased one of those Boss FDR1 pedals NOS, that does a similar thing albeit with less configuration settings! This one kills it!

[@oscarhuertas5105]

Hi can you make a radio birdman tutorial, anglo girl desire or Smith and weson blues please? Can't found this, sorry for my english

[@veerchasm1]

I didn’t know Eastwood made a McGeoch signature!

[@terrywitzu7874]

OMG! Now I have buyer's remorse over my Strymon Flint!

[@MaBaKar]

Very nice! If you can find a way to teach something related to what you played it would be very much appreciated.

[@al271987]

I’m rather surprised considering the otherwise robust build quality that it appears they cheaped out and used plastic nuts for the input and output jacks. Sounds really good overall but I do wish the reverb did more of a drip.

[@e.m.b2834]

A trip to the hardware store for replacements might cost you 2$ to replace them

[@mmccartney6579]

I could practice 8 hours a day for the next 20 years, and STILL not be able to play as good as Adrian!! Cheers!! :)

[@johnwelch557]

If this pedal had delay I might think about a purchase. Can't play a decent surf set without one. I could do without the drive. Let the amp/guitar setup do that if one needs it. Thanks Sir!

[@drewburgess525]

freakin' banging man

[@davidswilliams5259]

Where can you purchase this from please?

[@octave-up-up-up]

There's a link in the description

[@theothertonydutch]

111 euros per pedal. That's not actually that bad!

[@Lastman737]

I was just listening to surf rock today! Messer Chups anyone?

[@phfrixion]

Listened to the Hyena Safari album today. *ggg* Oleg keeping it up since Messer für Frau Müller.

[@quintessenceSL]

Bit more grit and you have later Roland S. Howard in a box Like.

[@simontromans2748]

1:12 to 3:22

[@MarrsAttax]

Something that frustrates me as a budding guitar player is how often I make mistakes - wrong notes, wrong strings ringing out etc. When I watch youtubers they almost always play flawlessly. Is this because they are just that good and practice what they are playing until its perfect or are they just editing out the fluffs? Am I the only one who makes mistakes or is there hope?

[@quintessenceSL]

Take inspiration from Tom Verlaine- wrong notes, wrong strings... or happy accidents. You get better with time (and practice).

[@illi41]

good tip for most is to practice very very slowly, so slowly that a listener 'wouldn't necessarily recognise the tune you're playing'. 35 long years before I read that and it really seems to work.

[@octave-up-up-up]

Both, for sure. I consider myself a reasonable guitarist, have been playing for like 26 years, but everyone is human and fluffs stuff occasionally.. or often! I've had to reshoot parts or re-record loops SO many times because I knew they were gonna be committed to a video. Keep at it!

[@thecaveofthedead]

Yeah. It's definitely both. People who've put in serious hours of practise learn to keep unwanted notes quiet until it becomes unconscious. And slow, steady repetition increases accuracy. And _of course_ KZbinrs and people on ticktock are going to replay awful sounding mistakes - which everyone will still occasionally make no matter how practised they are. Like someone else suggested. Play slow and cleanly consciously (ideally to a metronome) until you can speed up and your fingers still remember what to do.

[@c.p.1589]

Everyone is born with a certain number of mistakes that they have to do. Adrian has already done all his. You've still got some to do.

[@awc5uk]

Reverb not drippy enough otherwise good.

[@Firedancer100]

Ethereum 🎸

[@ronlight7013]

Good demo, Adrian. But the effects themselves sound rather generic, more appropriate to a much less expensive pedal. In favor of less polite guitar sounds, that makes you a rude boy, Adrian.
