Would you consider a "best of cheap overdrives/distortions" episode? Since many guitarists start building their pedal collection with "distortion/overdrive" this seems like a great place to have a top 5 list. Love your "lower budget" view on gear. We must learn to live within our limits, yet we still "wanna rock"!!!

[@victoriasimmons2609]

I like the review of the guitar pedals! But one thing that sometimes I want to correct people on because I in all honesty didn’t know about until my Audio Processing and Ear Training class, the so-called “tremolo” control on guitars are actually named incorrectly. They should be called VIBRATO control. Tremolo effects the pulse and acts more like a quick delay, but the feedback does not diminish. Vibrato effects the pitch, like when you push or pull the guitar string on the neck. This same feature is labeled incorrectly on the Fender amps as well! 😱 this blew my mind too when I found this out but it helps when truly understanding what tremolo vs vibrato are, since they are somewhat similar and are easy to confuse 😊 I love your videos by the way!

[@guitarzilla]

Eq can also be used as a clean boost. All those pedals are gig worthy. The only drawback on the wah is if you want a cocked wah setting for a solo, you’re constrained to the pedalboard. The chorus is really a sweet deal.

[@jackrussellbruce7565]

I bought the reverb pedal off Amazon. It lasted about 6 month’s. Shorted out in the middle of worship practice one night. I really loved it while it worked.

[@BruceKnouseMusic]

I snagged one used and it honestly has a really tin like sound to it. So far in my searches the EHX Holy Grail is the cheapest reverb I've found to do the job well

[@mrlionel1965]

Your channel is awesome. Everything is so well presented, informative, and witty. Great review on these pedals. The reverb and wah sound surprisingly good, especially for the price point.

[@SpectrumAudiophile]

Definitely a much bigger fan of you filming at your desk. Makes it feel a lot more inviting and less cheap. Killing the stock sounding background music would do some serious wonders. I see plenty more subs coming your way with the new set up.

[@anthonyjames3074]

Awesome video man. Especially for those on the low end of the learning curve like me. What impressed me the most was the fact that you USED & PLAYED the pedals for a few months BEFORE making the video, unlike some guys. That way we get more honest feedback on what the equipment is like, not just at unboxing but having some miles put on them. Thanks again.

[@lolobuggah2670]

Hey bud, good video. I think you should know that the "tremelo" bar on your guitar provides a vibrato effect, not actual tremelo so don't worry about using it at the same time with a tremelo pedal. Those are two different types of effects. One modulates pitch while the other modulates amplitude or volume.

[@GiantBat]

I love making these cheap pedals rundown as well, nice vid man

[@alexswanson1247]

I love the new view! Much sleeker. The greenscreen is good because its easier when editing and overlaying text, which is nice, but i feel the small extra effort in the videos for the upgraded background is well worth it. It seems much more professional and its much more aesthetically pleasing imo

[@Chuck-qn9fk]

Assacaster? When I play my Assacaster, people usually leave the room. As a beginning guitar player on a dental floss budget (as opposed to a shoestring), I have been a bit wary of pedals. They always seemed too expensive and I didn't know how they would effect the sound. Now that I know that these less expensive pedals are available, I may have to invest in a couple and experiment a bit. Thank you very much for posting up this review and for part 1. I really appreciate it.

[@cubedomatic]

I like the variety of the shots!

[@alyksremo8868]

The reverb pedal sounds amazing for the price dang

[@nunyabusiness6691]

You kinda missed one of the main uses of an eq pedal. You ever wonder how to get that tight 'scooped' metal guitar tone? Or how to get that Boston sound? Put it in your amps effects loop or after a distortion pedal. It changes the tone waaay more drastically.

[@MrTikne]

The part marked with "OOPS" at 12:10 really made that part awesome. I mean, not the "OOPS" marking, but the sound that happened at the time. That sound transmittied emotion!

[@TomBailey]

If anyone is watching this now, I did my whole pedalboard (10 pedals) in the plant wave/d'addario patch cables. Very flexible and they sound great. The actually allow a wee bit more high-end and sustain through.

[@logangabehart1993]

Like the new view. Also, Monster’s warranty isn’t applicable in store any more. You have to contact them to get your lifetime warranty. Just don’t want anyone to be as depressed as I was walking into guitar center and right back out again with my broken cable.

[@Dilldough.]

Loved the EQ petal, total surprise.

[@agentcalm]

Great vid bro. Don't forget @16 minutes. If buying a daisy chain power supply check the amp (current) ratings on your pedals. They may all be 9 volt but the amps may be different. If you connect a 1000 mA psu to a 500 mA pedal you'll blow the pedal.

[@pastorsprinkles]

The line 6 hx effects is a great value for what it does. It can replace a $3000 board all in one unit. I looked into the mini pedal route before and it is a solid option but if you get into more complex switching and looping you can’t beat something like an hx. But if you just run a couple of pedal into the front of an amp probably not for you.

[@OnAir21]

I was wondering just yesterday if you were going to dive into pedals again. We’re psychically linked, I guess. Also, I dig the studio desk setting. It feels like another “lab” view, much like your work bench setting does.

[@gharodc614]

Great video, Dan, as always. Just as idea for next video - how about your suggestions about one chain of affordable effect pedals that will work with guitar and bass both? Or, maybe, just show these pedals that you already have with any of your basses.

Was stoked to see the Mooer Wah-ter in there. I got one a few months ago, was just in Guitar Center taking back a broken Cry baby i got from em, used, and traded it back to get the only wah there I could get with the refund $$, the Wah-Ter. This thing IS built like a damn tank. It feels like an old lead paperweight. This thing weighs a ton for its size. and the little flip out bars to enlarge the surface trigger stomp area, its a really cool design. I never used it with clean guitar, just distorted, and I can say, the sound and sweep and tone in general is better than a standard cry baby IMO. But i think it comes down to personal preference, I dont think either one is better than the other. Just a matter of which you prefer as far as design and sweep angle/ tone shape. I love it. I wish they added the little fold out bars for the bottom to stabilize it a hair more, but with it velcro'ed to a board, its ok. def worth $65 or so. Im gonna grab that chorus and EQ possibly too. Thanks for the demo, I just always wish these were done with em played in a straight DIRTY tone, so with a distortion added, and then demo with it clean too. So thats my only gripe, is not hearing what these pedals sound like with a distorted signal chain.

I have been thinking of getting some new effects lately, but when i think about it, i think my computer is the ultimate effect rack. Already got the "Komplete 11 Ultimate" software package from Native Instruments, and it has a pretty substantial selection of effects to choose from. The Guitar Rig software is really nice, and have some really nice modulation possibilities that you usually dont get on hardware effect modules. The price of this software is 200€, but it comes with a lot of really nice effects. Many different delays and reverbs and distortion and guitar amps and cabinets, +++ - and TONS of presets. So very good value for the money. The Reflektor reverb (which comes with Guitar Rig) is PHENOMENAL, and if i had to choose between only that single reverb effect VS some reverb effect pedal for 200€, im pretty sure i would go with Reflektor... That thing is VERY versatile, and have some really cool functions that i have not seen in any other reverbs... And a big advantage that ALL software effects have over hardware, is that you can add as many instances of it as you want. You can of course route several instruments through a single effect unit - but you will not be able to add independent settings for each instrument - like if you want room reverb on one thing, you cant set it to more spacy reverb on another sound source... Then you need to purchase another one... I see why people buy analog synths, because the digital ones usually dont have enough modifiers to create good analog emulations without using up most of the modifiers... But when it comes to effects, i never really understood why analog effects sound nicer than digital... Then again, im not too familiar with analog effects. Am i just stupid???

[@budandbean1]

I appreciate all the work that has gone into the video, you are a good man. It was also very nice of TomTop to send them to you, their prices certainly are better than Amazon. It’s hard to make everything sound good. With all due respect though, every one of these sound like they are worth almost what you pay for them. They all sound very thin no matter what adjustments you tried to make. Each one also had the “cheap pedal super loud POP” when you pressed the button. On the other hand, pedals are like guitars somewhat, you really have to learn how to use them, there is a learning curve. Why spend the big bucks on the name brand pedals, just to find out that you don’t really like the sound and now you can’t afford any more pedals and now that big buck pedal is going to sit on a shelf or in a drawer for the next ten years. Grab a cheap pedal and learn how to use it, learn what pedals work together and which ones don’t. It will make you a much more rounded guitar player. Enjoyed the video, see ya next time! Regards, Buddy

[@Harry-kh2qi]

Or you could walk into a music shop and ask to try out the type of pedal you are looking for from several different manufacturer. Lets face it, you'd test drive a car before buying, and you'd test play a guitar before buying too wouldn't you? and it's really about what YOU think it's done for your tone anyway.

[@doogieball2464]

Getting "your" tone as a reference is tricky at the local music store, especially if an amp similar to what you use isn't available. I do agree with learning how to use what you have. It's real easy to dismiss a pedal or guitar because of what is sounds like at the shop. Even worse when you get it home and it's terrible on your setup.

[@RobertNolan]

Heads up, guitar center doesn't swap out any cables other than livewire or mogami. I work for them as an associate and I was just as shocked as you. I'm told the company that made the cable will definitely issue a new one, however, if you contact them.

[@drea6699]

this is the only vid that actually helped me thank you!

[@fabioasramos]

Just FYI: Monster cables still have a lifetime warranty, but they no longer allow you to get them replaced at music stores like Guitar Center or Sam Ash. I had that issue 2 weeks ago and was informed by both of these that Monster won’t allow them to replace any cables. Now you have to get in contact with Monster directly to get a replacement.

[@GunsandGuitars]

Weird. Two months ago I traded out a mogami cable at guitar center and they told me then that they still traded monster as well. I guess it must’ve been a very recent change

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

[@tigmil8116]

A vox wah is cheaper and in my opinion sounds better than that wah and most crybaby pedals. I can't remember how much cheaper and I know it's not a mini pedal, but as far as wahs go that's more my thing. The donner/caline wah seems similar to the mooer, but no surprise there. You should try out some caline pedals they are honestly super awesome for the money. I have had some expensive boutique stuff, and some custom made pedals for me to my specs. I had a noise maker hipster pedal which is handmade in America and is a rad company who makes those pedals affordable, and still ended up using a caline pure sky over that hipster. For as much as your on tomtop, and Amazon these pedals would be easy for you to get.

Goofy control layout, but 600ms, doesn't add color to sound and was like $30 new, so I'm hopeful. Rock on brother.

Hey Dan, the only thing that sucks with Tomtop is shipping takes FOREVER!! I ordered 2 pedals from your previous video and they took around 3 months to ship to me, not exaggerating. I live in Canada, so that may have something to do with it? Love the vids man, keep em coming.

[@jagtone]

One that I have and am fairly impressed with is the mooer e-lady or elec lady, which is a mini clone of an EHX Electric Mistress. It is NOT quite the same as my Deluxe Electric Mistress, but it comes surprisingly close, and (a) it doesn't need AC, and (b) it's less than one quarter the size. BTW, another cheap vendor for these is Aliexpress. I found the Ammoon EQ, for example, for the same price as Tomtom, but with free shipping, on AE.
