Hotone Xtomp - A Zillion Guitar Pedals in One (Almost)!!

[@Zoco.]

The glass breaking sound effect gets me every time

[@JacobPadlock]

They're so consistent with it too it's amazing.

[@Finnvbot]

It never gets old.

[@Robstafarian]

Me too: it causes nerve pain because he does not match levels with his sound effects.

[@andrewmccombs7347]

Because it's so casually inserted, it catches you offguard every time and that's why you laugh. If you were expecting it, it probaly wouldn't be as funny. It would further the gag a ton if they had a bunch of different glass breaking sounds, because then it heightens the surprise that leads to the giggle.

[@timothymckane6362]

How many cups would they end up breaking?

[@56madguy]

"Two in the front, one in the back" - Lee Anderton

[@melexdy]

Screen shot or never happened !!!

[@getyodomerocked]

Lenny Henry Gotta give you props for that roast, that was insane

[@CaptAnderton]

I didn't even realise I'd said that until I watched the video back - I must be subliminally smutty!

[@gh0stdem0n666]

+CaptAnderton you know the parts

[@thouartthou9466]

+CaptAnderton ooh you are awful, but I like you.

[@biggin92191]

They've swapped seats and I don't know how I'll make it through.

[@riversplit8206]

I didn't even notice.

[@JorisGriffioen]

I'M SO CONFUSED WHERE DO I LOOK?! WHERE?!!

[@chrisact9601]

It's OK Rob. I thought Wikipedalia was funny.

[@RobChappers]

Thanks to :-)

[@adamjones7701]

+Rob Chapman how does it sound with a bass?

[@JD-jc4vo]

+Rob Chapman what would you recommend as a beginner guitar? is a squier affinity HSS any good?

[@jtndestroy]

What's your budget and what kind of music do you want to play?

[@disillusioned165]

im just a random internet guitarist without name recognition, but i think the kramer baretta special is one of the best low budget guitars around. its simplistic, well made, and pretty versatile for a single pickup guitar. good for modding when you develop preferences too since it only has one pickup and one volume knob but a decent sized electronics cavity.

[@BaconSniffer578]

You should've got the real pedals alongside it for comparison. I demand a reshoot!!

[@TheLightweaver777]

Not a bad idea, actually.

[@MB-yw3pv]

I SUGGESTED THAT WHEN THE VIDEO WAS FIRST UPLOADED, ITS NOT GONA HAPPIN

[@gh0stdem0n666]

Does it come with the miku pedal???

[@jaykobey4112]

You're asking the real questions

[@安龙-k3f]

I think they can haha

[@LevitatorMusic]

hahaha!! i forgot about that review! lmao!!

[@GeoAl09]

Kei Synester best question ever. So does it?!

[@安龙-k3f]

GeoAl09 currently no 🤣

[@stuarcari]

You've swapped seats and it just doesn't look right.

[@lukee_v]

they're like rhett and link lol, chappers' always on the left and cap is always on the right

[@K31R616]

I know I'm freaking out here, it's just not right man!

[@JROD082384]

It doesn't "sit" right with me, either!

[@dennyvandermeulen]

i'll check back on this digital modelling stuff in about 10 years...

[@BigFatCock0]

You say that like they didn't get good sounds in this video.

[@willm7926]

+BigFatCock this pedal is not done. it sounded hideous

[@BigFatCock0]

will M Sounded pretty good to me. I guess it's subjective.

[@dennyvandermeulen]

BigFatCock i enjoyed the video, but i prefer analog stuff i guess...

[@StillLivinginthewoods]

I said that ten years ago.

[@shanewallace4294]

Just wanted to say, I've been watching your in depth perfectly lengthy guitar gear reviews for some time now, and it's absolutely the best out there!!! I truly love the awesome, professional production quality. Everything about it rocks!!! Keep it up, I recommend viewing them to everybody. Never stop! ✌🏻️🤘🏻😈

[@thevoxofreason8468]

Why do I find you two knuckleheads so damn amusing? I even find myself going back and watching some of your vids several times. Love what you do.

[@thevoxofreason8468]

...even though I don't like this pedal at all. Doesn't sound good to my ear...at all.

[@wanggarlen]

I've bought this pedal, and it sounds really great, much more better than zoom ms50 or line6. It's more like a KPA for pedals, not just some lame digital pedal. I have a ts9 , and the ts9 model in xtomp sounds exactly the same, even clean up very well, which bias or zoom can never do. For those who thought the distortion sounds terrible, that's because the pedal it clones sounds like that, what are you expecting for a ds1 or metal zone. Definitely worth that price.

[@Artec619]

I don´t get all the hate on this pedal, the chorus sounded pretty good, distortion was average, and delay was good. It´s like all of you guys commenting had thousands of dollars/pounds to spend on gear.

[@bonerici]

Just too expensive to sound average

[@efrazable]

it's basically a super-expensive MIDI controller, I'd rather get a good standalone multi, like a Henretta or a Fly Rig 5.

[@michaelbrohl1625]

It's because guitar players inherently hate anything new or innovative even if they know very little about it. It's like guitars. If it doesn't say Gibson or Fender on the head stock they just say it's shit even if they've never played it.

[@sweetswing1]

One day we'll see Rob play several notes together at the same time. They'll call it a "chord" and celebrate him for years to come.

[@darraghtate440]

If you're supposed to say "Hot Tone" then the people misspelled the name of their own company.

[@Aint1S]

that's bugging me too... it's a bit of a SPECIAL thing without a hyphen out something. I know what I call that...😁

[@PhiI93]

Haha right!

[@judsonruddick5240]

It's pronounced hoto nay

[@judsonruddick5240]

It's japanese

[@DaveMorrisonMusic]

You win! Ha!

[@xxSk8ing4christxx]

How many mugs have you broken so far filming these videos?

[@RockHeiland]

probably none

[@quasarpuffs]

Don't worry, they have a closet full of them like Schroeder and his Beethoven busts.

[@Markle2k]

Don't worry it's just a digital effect. ;~)

[@Rudi1441]

LOVE Rob's tone at 28:33!! Sounds amazing!!

[@YourMoralCompas]

179 pounds for the pedal, and 700 for the phone.

[@Fektthis]

works with androids i heard

[@YourMoralCompas]

***** I know. Tis a joke

[@riffsnreviews]

Yep according to hotone it works on android.

[@rockriff8889]

Waste of money and time. These patches are standard on TH2

[@cryogen7011]

I've had both phones both work great but with touch ID and 3D touch my 6s won't be going anywhere for a while

[@Theweeze100]

Always a lot of fun. Well done gents!

[@carlosfuzz]

Dear Mr.Chapman, you are such a brilliant man! BTW I really enjoyed the video with Greg Koch - omg, what a legend! Bless you and your work, guys! Much love from the Czech republic!

[@madnessmedia1]

I saw this pedal on Instagram a few days ago completely by chance, funny to see you guys make a video of it! Very well done

[@DudeDaniel97]

Hey rob I met you last weekend at le pub on the Dorje gig thanks for taking photos with me ur a legend :D!!!

[@Cyzos1]

What happens when some funny guy turns up at your gig with the app on his phone?..

[@Mezurashii5]

Exactly what I thought. A bandmate could do that too - aspecially a bassist or rythm guitarist that envies you for the solos.

[@brutalbeetle]

I think most bluetooth devices only allow one connection at a time.

[@riffsnreviews]

Yes I would imagine you can't connect multiple phones to the pedal, and I should think there is a disconnect and connect process... (Havent' watched the video yet lol i'm at work ;-( )

[@brutalbeetle]

Mezurashii5 Spotted the self absorbed lead guitarist

[@GSTUTORIALSGAMES]

Hi, The XTOMP is password protected.

[@raylloyd102]

Always love the Andertons videos. The coffee cub breaking always make me laugh. I am a total coffee fiend. Thanks for your vids guys. Informative and entertaining! 😊

[@icantthinkofanamey3029]

looks awesome greetings from Australia!

[@nicknicksiren]

Omg I lost my shit at 25:15. Such a build up only to end in the happiest, simple major chord ever haha... that face. Well. Done.

[@brGbruno]

I think this is the coolest pedal ever! 🤘

[@chriscavazos940]

I have this pedal and absolutely love it. Sounds exactly like the real pedals and is super solid. The sound quality of these effects is leaps and bounds better than my line6 multi effects pedal

[@chriscavazos940]

Adam Devo how is that bullshit? Lol

[@charlie_sar]

You guys are entertaining as hell.

[@13awakening]

You guys are great! I enjoy the commentary between the guitar playing. I know you've received some criticism about tour videos, I guess there are haters for everyone .. Cary on and change nothing because people can be contemptuous ..

[@jaredholton3145]

I love how the bassbreaker has become a mainstay on this show. Those seem like stellar amps!

[@TomPark1986]

What a cool product. Sounds great too.

[@shampoovta]

This thing is awesome. I loved the slow mo while the down load was finishing. I have a Digi Tech RP 80 I found at a swap meet for 20$ I would love to upgrade to this.

[@adambayer6207]

Can we just take a moment and appreciate Rob Chapmans hairstyle? That layering and that split is on point!

[@shivamkhandelwal666]

niceeee!! please do a sounds like video !!this time you do it !! itll be great

[@lukerose6957]

Can you guys do a blindfold test between the real pedal and the xtomp pedal as would be interested to see how they compare

[@YeOldeMachina]

Luke Rose, awesome fucking idea

[@duncanwestbrook5092]

All well and good, but does it have a Korg Miku? ;)

[@CdnGamer]

My first pedal was a metal zone and is currently the next one on my buy list. Classic.

[@ShredDanielGuitar]

I really like this!

[@Nyitemare]

Interesting piece of kit =D that attempted slow motion moment was great xD

[@thetinkerer5763]

Oh my gosh, thank you for your videos, they are great for helping with getting over a flu, I will have to let the doc know for future issues and other patients, lol

[@Mouley33]

You know? Sometimes I marvel at all the technology and I am guilty of using it all and get bamboozled by the choices but still refer myself back to Sgt pepper or the White Album (Yes a Beatles fan) being only 4 track. My positives are the amount of effects or tones are free and you don't have to spend a zillion pounds dollars etc to get what you want. When I were younger I had to spend a fortune to buy one pedal. My down side is it all get amazingly complicated and you spend more time trying to work out what you want and stop being creative quickly. I love Chappers and the Captain. Cant resist watching their vids. Keep it up guys.

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

The coffee glass break sound gets me every time. I really thought Lee dropped his coffee cup. Whoever is editing these videos is paying attention.

[@VitorDuzarte]

The more i see Rob's strat, the more i love it.

[@stuarcari]

Yeah it's a beautiful colour. I've been wanting a strat for a while and now I think I want one this colour.

[@VitorDuzarte]

+Stuart Arcari in person it looks even better, the color is wonderful. I also love the seafoam green.

[@artbyfreddiexx]

+Vitor Duzarte surf green, fiesta red and sonic blue are my favourites

[@zdhome5727]

I can hear the drop in quality caused by this pedal (Probably only because im listening through great headphones), however..... I can understand how this would be an AMAZING deal for most guitar players. This is probably the most valuable tool to take you from the beginning stages of recording and playing into the middle stages. And on top of that, it is very mobile, and thw tech will be supported by the company for many years to come.

[@alexmillar8242]

9:45...that was some slick edgar wright style editing right there

[@WoodenPigeon]

One thing, in my opinion, that would have made this better, is if the knobs were motorized. Like faders on a digital mixer. Then as you switch pedals each could start from default settings, and allow you to save your settings for each individual pedal to be recalled instantly. The way it works now you just get the knob position from the pedal before which is probably not going to be anywhere near a useful sound on the next one.

[@doct8r_dsb320]

Well it compresses.... The funniest moment that needs to be replayed cause I nearly missed it!!!

[@julianrose9883]

I was sort of skeptical but this pedal looks really cool actually.

[@Thexderx]

LOL, CAP10 still refers to then as Ho-Tone a few times....

[@darraghtate440]

I read it as "Hot One", but different strokes I guess

[@apinakapinastorba]

Wikipedalia, nice one :)

[@shaunm1983]

I think hotone have done a great job with this pedal

[@alexdattel2757]

I'd rather get 1 decent pedal than thousands of mediocre ones which depend on a phone.

[@fieldyznuts997]

i wouldn't

[@orlock20]

I believe it's better for those that have that odd song requiring a certain sound that's not on the rest of the set list. There is no use to carry around a flanger, phaser, auto wah and fuzz pedal if one is going to just use them 5 times each per tour.

[@prosanitycheck]

to be up front I don't see any viable situation for this thing to really come in handy... live? Too fiddly. The prep time for that thing to work properly in a situation like that could be spent more wisely. Home recording or practising? There are so much more effects, which - in my opinion - sound way better and are not that pricey. To be honest I did not like any of the sounds.

[@riffsnreviews]

Yep I think this pedal is useful for the following applications : Multi EQ pedals (so you don't have to touch EQ that you like but don't apply for all sounds) - They don't have an octave pedal (drop tone) in the library, if they get one up that would be useful. Useful for lesser used pedals as you said, if the delays are decent that would be good (a lot of good delays are digital). The only thing I wouldn't use was the distorsion/overdrive pedals. I'll probably get one just for the multiple EQs

[@alexdattel2757]

For that price you could get 3 or maybe 4 used EQ pedals

[@kevinkendall7104]

Loving the breaking mugs, and the pedal.

[@chriswaite]

10:03 Capt puts all his strength into wrecking his mug XD

[@samuelkilik8233]

i have used this pedal in my bass rig for so many years as an overdrive,,, its good

[@AMBowers29]

I am becoming more and more intrigued with Hotone. BTW it will forever be ho-tone(respectfully and lovingly)

[@JohnnyGTar]

Spit my drink twice with the smashing glass sounds and I just noticed that you do the I-chew-gum-when-I-play-fast face :) Great presentation though as always!

[@piperman63]

Hey Rob, what is your new Strat? I just got one myself, I have a '63 Custom Shop Journeyman Relic in Shell Pink. I ended up selling my Gibson LP Traditional to get it. Fantastic guitars. Enjoy, and hope to hear more about it. Cheers

[@LeonBorodaty1]

16:30 nice! loved it

[@diogobarbosa6523]

awesome strat

[@viewreviewer804]

looks cool, bit of a learning curve.

[@INeverWanted2010]

Hotone makes great stuff.

[@isuriftw1910]

that is amazing

[@trevcornwall8160]

Oooooh I wonder how well this would work on a Bass?? I heard you say Big Muff Captain?! What about having a look at this for all about the Bass?! Curve ball?!

[@MaxRockatansky853]

That Strat is the star of this video.

[@apinakapinastorba]

I wonder if some sort of e-ink display on the pedal surface would be nice with these kinds of products. Add nice texts next to the pots without lcd displays.

[@pbosche]

I’ve only recently learned about this pedal. I got it free with my ampero II purchase. It’s fantastic.

[@foodforthegods]

2:45 TWO IN THE FRONT ONE IN THE BACK AWW YEA I GOT YOU LEE

[@pd1jdw630]

Hey Captain and Chapper. Here is a blindfold test for the two of you. Could you blindly tell apart a .. Blackstar artist 30 vs the Vox AC30 ? Let us know . Love the Xtomp though.

[@thektalks190]

It's about time I left a comment after years of entertainment and help to me and my band mates (since 2010). You two have helped me find the best amps over the years. HOWEVER.. guitars is another matter.. Either I have bad luck or something, but any guitar I have wanted to know more about (in my price range) you haven't reviewed and even at NAMM you walk right past those ones, just giving a sweeping glance as Lee walks by. So I still haven't found that perfect guitar for drop-tuning and metal. My local store doesn't go for those.. More light-twangy Fenders and Gretsch (all good guitars too though)

[@joshlawson9948]

There are a lot of variables that come into play when searching for the perfect guitar. As far as downtuning goes, it depends on how low that you need to go. if I were you I would search out a different music store and try to sample as many different brands that you can get your hands on. My go-to is the prs se line but I'm planning on scooping up an epi les paul in a couple of days. Do as much research as you can whether you buy in store or online. Good luck with your search, and have a great day

[@matzer8846]

i get you ... but nowadays there is a little relief: find a propper "Big store" like Andertons or Thomann or Session and order one with 30 days back guaranties ... I would have a close look at the Ibanez range: the offer great affordable guitars with extended scale length for drop tunings

The "oh" at 2:26 says it all! :D

[@michaell.8938]

I gotta know, what color is that LP Standard? Tea Burst? Rob, I love your taste in guitars! That Strat is gorgeous too.

[@andy014]

Hey Rob! I love your channel and content and I would really like to know what amp you're using in this video, thanks!

[@DomSchu]

Has Lee ever used or heard someone say "computer" before? Never heard someone pronounce it like this 27:10

[@Finnvbot]

This is how the word is pronounced in British English. Many Brits ommit the "t" but other than that, I haven't noticed anything odd in how the Cap'n says it. ;)

[@ZippyLeroux]

Nah the only brits that omit the T from computer omit the t from most words (neither Chapers nor Capn speak in this way), it's not selective and certainly not only for the word computer. What actually happened there was Lee said Computer and Chappers exclaimed a loud and haughty "Yeah" exactly over the Capn's soft T sound, drowning it out and giving us all something silly to talk about lol...

[@jtn191]

computah, computeh. seems normal

[@muse-mech-moda]

Sorry, there is no such thing as 'British English', only English ... and Wrong English ;-)

[@Dslasher99]

CAMPUTOR GAMES.

[@tonechaser7174]

all I heard in this was blah blah blah and me drooling over Rob and his new amazing guitar haha awesome video guys

[@mrpositronia]

The metal zone sounds great. Good for Megadeth style riffs.

[@tjnugent62]

What Strat is Rob's new one? It looks great and like something I would like to have.

[@thomasholloway1627]

the smashing cup never gets old

[@down7unedpc740]

9:58 what is this song he always plays this riff and its so sick

[@teacher5376]

Wow !!!!!!!! So fantastic...sound like better .than ......amplifier.

[@DeeZeeGuitar]

When will it be available in the USA?

[@henrycrun2485]

is the extremity of rob's chin wiggle directly linked to the amount of vibrato being applied to the string? they might even be connected via an invisible nano-pulley system

[@SS12345123]

That tone at the end is very much a Def Leppard tone, am I right??

[@kalleestagme625]

im buying two of these when they are released.

[@jarrydee2799]

This is great for the studio. I have it hooked up USB to my iMac and it loads in 1 second. using the heads into the FX return of a tube amp is nice, or just using it as an FX pedal, both work great. I have a lot of the pedals that are in this thing, and they are so close, I could leave my real pedals on the shelf. actually I have! Plus you can see everything better on a real computer like an mica 5k 27in!

[@AdamCHowell]

At this price why would i opt for this over a typical multi effect unit where i could run multiple effects at once with ease? It's size means I could imagine adding something like this to my pedal board if it was cheaper, but I could get something far more functional device in this price range.

[@orlock20]

It could be used as a backup to replace most pedals or for the odd effect one rarely uses.

[@Mezurashii5]

Except it has only a handful of effects in it...

[@JamesBalazs]

But so could any multi effect unit at the same price, and a multi effect unit would be better, so why would you pay the same amount for less, even if it was a backup? A better backup would be much more sensible than buying this instead because all it's good for is a backup.

[@Kostasvd]

Please do the battle between real pedal and the model of the pedal in this or maybe in few other modelling units!

[@lawsont4396]

This is a great pedal for beginners who are still experimenting with sounds and just want to try things out with out spending thousands. All the analogue elitists need to chill

[@werdna_sir]

Hey Rob, your hair looks cool in this vid. My favourite Chappers hair-style.

[@Tmcarr]

Loving the coffee sounds.

[@ERPRocks]

What it really needs is a small color display that can show the name of the pedal (and you should be able to configure the color to make it easy to quickly identify which pedal is which when you are using more than one.)

[@AcAce427]

Really cool consept. A bit like Tone print from TC Electronic, only there you load from your smart phone right into the intrument

[@soundboy3]

that'd be great with an iPad on a mic stand... how many pedals can it store in the unit for the instant recall? seems like it'd be great for having one for distortion/od, one for modulation effects and one for delays/reverbs.

Where is the pedal I can stuff my Ableton Live-combination effects into? Thanks for another great video!

[@mlschultzBsOK]

If it works like I think it does, the Cab Model is actually the most exciting feature, it would be great for someone wanting to use an amp at extremely low volume to get real tone... with your cab volume all the way down, you could feed the line out of an amp into this and then out to some powered monitors or something to get real tone at true bedroom levels

[@fastfarrall]

That strat is absolutely beautiful! What model is it?

[@JeffHesterDesigns]

Sounds like it's clipping or has some digital artifacts on some settings used in the video.

[@Jimpotamus]

Are there plans for Bass effects ?

[@Ghostee61]

So I have a tc electronics pipeline tremolo pedal that you can download new sounds to, via your phone by holding it near your pick-ups and yes it makes old dial-up modem sounds and voilà, it travels into your pick-ups through your guitar lead and into the pedal. I think I bought it about 3 years ago.

[@booshting3520]

Looks fun, I am going to stick with a multi effects though. I am hooked on just being able to call up combinations with one stomp.
