Uncle Larry’s knee-jerk disgust at the first sound of the $6k Klon should be posted as mandatory disclaimer on all original Klon listings as a PSA.

[@smelltheglove2038]

While I don’t actually own a Klon, I do have a Jrockett Ikon I keep on my board as a clean boost that really fattens up my clean tone and sounds great with my strat. When I put it after my Timmy it’s amazing. My favorite overdrive tone after my cranked black face champ.

[@justinguitarcia]

@@smelltheglove2038 thats the trick, I do think pafs into a klon is a bad combo as evidenced here. thats when you start getting those funky mids and the nasally thing

[@RoyTrevinoMusic]

I love the Klon with teles, strats, 335s, Les Pauls and sgs played through ac30s, black faced fenders, tweed fenders, and plexis. To me its the best pedal ever made. I remember crying to Bill about the whopping $275 I paid for it. He told me to, “buy two”. I should’ve bought ten.

[@bleepblabloop]

Any modeler that I've ever played, no matter the cost, sounds like the guitar tone is pressed up against a plate a glass along with a faint layer of fizzle over the top that you cannot dial out. That's the best way I can describe it.

[@ludvanlazarz]

Yes, especially those higher gain sounds are so much flatter and mushier and non inspiring compared to a real head in a real cab

There is one huge upside (among many) to being separated. All my guitar work is done in heated and spacious comfort...and I can leave my guitar on the couch if I want.

You have probably heard this 500 times already, but Tim Pierce said on his lates feed that he used to think Dan Huff was the best studio guitarist he had ever heard, then he heard you and now he thinks you are the best studio player he has ever heard. What ever you are, you are a guitar genius.

For the next shootout, you ought to compare the Nobels clones. IE: Wampler "Belle", J.Rocket "Chicken Soup", "Shanks", etc. and use the original as the "baseline". The "Nordland - ODC" is made by the same guy that designed the original ODR-1 when he was with Nobels. I'd love to hear Larry's opinion on that one also.

He didn't like the Browne Atom, which is supposed to be an ODR-1 clone.

I bought an ODR mini about 3-4 mos ago to dip my toes into the Nobels water and really liked what I heard. But, like a hostage with Stockholm syndrome, I’ve keep my TS-9 (and even the JHS Bonsai which I super dig). The Nobels are the 2nd gain stage after my compressor, before the Bonsai and ending w/ a Boss GE-7 with high mids boosted along w/ level. Add to that an Xotic EP Booster and I’ve got all the gain I need - slamming the front end of the amp just right to make it sing a little. 🙏🎸🤘🎶 Thank you tone gods!

[@fivepiece]

Bottom Line: If the $80 Nobel's ODR Mini can make Uncle Larry happy, then you don't need to drop $6,000 on a Klon for good tone. You just need a "60-something" SG and Uncle Larry's hands. Boom--Done.

[@RickMcCargar]

When Tom had fresh ears, he was nailing it, easily telling the difference. I think the brain becomes confused after a bit..too much sound overwhelmed the senses. Even volume differences didn't make a difference in the beginning. Interesting test for a couple of reasons.

[@L.A.W.Studios]

Absolutely. You can pretty much gage the decline in discernment over the course of elapsed time. But he has an acutely keen discernment to begin with, I'd say over the 90% mark to the average. So there's THAT. You know/agree? Plus there's the homogenization of his playing tied to the pedal's sound. Then there's uh... "Mmm, Beer" lol.. Overall though, he did great, and I agreed with his choice as well, just sittin' here listenin' Great friggin' video!

[@nevusofota]

Well that’s because the last half of the video is comparing all the Noballs…..they’re all extremely similar.

[@NotUrBiz]

@@nevusofota it was already starting to happen in the modern set.

[@brbadge]

@@L.A.W.Studios Yea but,they were starting to dial in the mini to his tastes, and that's what made the difference.

I ain't coming down on the guy here. Liike I said in my comment, his discernment is better than 90% the average, probably more... I hope he does more of these videos. ...but I also know how ear fatigue goes .. I run a studio up here in MI

[@nickedbrooke2845]

Absolute gold dust for these comparisons to be administered by such experts, and via the medium of Uncle Larry's outstanding playing. Every Homeskoolin episode should be committed to the US library archives - as a national treasure never to be lost.

[@KevinSmith-uj5ev]

Tom can hear the difference, and in a studio that may count for something, but I reckon an audience for a bar band would neither notice nor care

Im with Uncle Larry on this. I try and get the goosed mids from an eq pedal but keep the pedals fairly flat. KOT and “noballs” all day long. Interesting the Nightlight stood out as it was designed in nashville, think ill check one out. Had no idea pedaltrain made pedals

The crazy train comment was VERY interesting to listen to with your comment in mind. It really did make the song feel like it had a blanket over it and wasn’t open at all

[@myeyesarewaiting]

The first guitar pedal I ever bought was a Nobels ODR-1 back in the mid nineties. Didn't have a clue what it was and was desperately disappointed that it didn't sound like Nirvana. Didn't even know you were allowed to try out pedals in the shops first. Came back to it in my mid twenties and found a lot of uses for it. Now in my forties... I've cashed in, sold it. As you've demonstrated the new ones sound the same. Made my self a clone with some mods (the original Nobels shop schematic is actually out there and easy enough to find, complete with the never-implemented "boost" switch). You should ask Nobels to make a signature version for you :)

IF I had to grab one and walk away? Nobles for sure. My Nobles is the one pedal I have had the longest and would never consider getting rid of. Thanks Uncle Larry! Always an education.

You are so amazingly generous with us Uncle Larry. This is has been great....i am simply "green with envy" for a certain green pedal that isn't a TS. For sure i don't have your ears, but i can really hear that "amp" sound you talk about. What a blast this has been.

This is class. Loved it. I’m a big fan of the Nobels I have a few of them. Killer!!

[@knust2329]

A buddy of mine needed a cheapo overdrive pedal back in the late 90s. He showed up with a Nobels. It was a cheap sucker back then and now it's the secret weapon of many studio pros. Not sure if it's amazing or ridiculous.

[@veljkosimovic2302]

This was awesome. Don't forget a fuzz day. :)

[@gair1944]

Damn. that was FUN! Really cool to see the other No-balls could be dialed in for a pleasing sound. I still thought the Bright Green original sounded best.

I have been wondering about that great overdrive sound you always get. So great to see the Nobels ODR being compared between each other. Thanks Uncle Larry!

[@bradbuss9753]

Enjoyed seeing the charisma coming out of Uncle Larry from this angle!

[@mblueser3770]

I’ve played a half dozen or so Klons and I always set it up with the volume 3/4 to almost cranked the tone a tad less than half and the gain 1/4 on a pushed clean amp. I then compared it to an AC Booster (which I’d guarantee with your back turned, it’d be extremely hard to tell the difference) my favorite Xotic pedal and I’d never buy a klon for anything over $400 if I’d buy one at all that is. I like the Wampler Tumnus better. I played J Rocketts version of the Nobel and loved it. Never played a real one. And the KIng Of Tone, well that’s what it is to me, the King. Mike is one of the nicest guys in the business as well. I thank Jim Weider for that connection. Tom DAMNIT your riffs are so killer!!! I also had for a short time and miss it to death had a M-OD John Landgraff pedal that was just at another level. This was a fun clip. More please. Now I’m going to go back, cut the time to 1/4 speed and try to learn some of the badassery licks you played. My girlfriend is really going to hate me for the next few days….😮

Some expensive stuff is great and some pedals that were $35 originally were magical and often copied maybe modded slightly and rebranded. Same deal with songs.

Let's have a blind test with a few of Larry's favorite amps... and also a Kemper & Tonex thrown in the mix. He would need to be listening back like when in session... through HPs. Dial all of them in thru his pedalboard and see what happens. Not in the room with the amps because we know that is a different experience. I can supply the profiles if needed.

[@the-LeoKnightus]

Thats cool. I have a old Nobels and a new one. Put the new one on the board cause the old one got some miles on it...and...I have grown to like it more than the old one.

It was literally only an LED that the foot switch turned off and on, and inside the two jacks were wired directly to each other, but all weekend, guitar players said things like "it has such a beautiful top end," "really transparent, but I miss it when it's gone," "subtle but much needed boost to the mids". Amazing.

[@billhaugh6918]

This is really cool guys. The thing that I take away is that Tom hears a sound in his head, and he makes that sound with his hands. He gave instructions to the man with the controls, but at the end of the day, Tom was just getting his "signature" overdriven tone. He's getting the sound(s) in his head to come out of the PR speaker. I'm no authority, but I've found and strongly believe that guitarists hear a sound in their head, and through different guitars, amps, effects or setting, we all tend to dial in a particular tone that we hear in our head. I definitely do. I'll offer Dickey Betts playing a Strat and sounding just like he does on a LP. That one blew me away. Dickey on a Strat sounds just like Dickey on a LP. I also believe that Steve Vai has referred a story from Frank that "the guitar tone is in your head." I agree. I wish all you guitar folks out there to have a wonderful time next time you pick up your favorite instrument!

[@chrisbardolph]

Interesting thing - I grabbed myself one of those Nobels pedals. I realize there are differences between them but the word is generally that they're fairly similar and consistent. And it just simply didn't work for my setup. On a different guitar, different amp, and different player the results would be completely different. Gear videos are a lot of fun, but they only demonstrate context, not a rigid collection of "good" and "bad" gear. Sometimes you just have to do some good old fashioned trial and error.

[@trevorclarey3336]

Dearest Uncle Larry: I was just alerted to the existence of PLEXI SOUL, and I'm geeked that you did something with the "Just Cream" chord changes! That's my favorite thing you've done as part of the Hoomeskoolin' intro/topic of conversation. Really gorgeous addition to what I think of as the "dark ABBEY ROAD" canon. I don't know if you're an Elliott Smith fan, but he might be the all-time greatest at transforming Beatles devotion into something midnight-black.
