Can we all just take a minute to agree how on point Joel's hair game is!?

[@wordofmouth7679]

For real. 😊

[@Harmonica123]

Matches his playing!

[@jilldollinger5017]

Apartment studio audience! I love it!

[@stekks]

Great demo... and lovely audience :)

[@kentborges5114]

MR. JOEL IS ON A LEVEL THAT IS TOTAL TOP SHELF !

[@profile2047]

I have been a bit obsessed with that pedal since I’ve heard about it. I’m hoping one day I snap and I just get it. It’s so rare to find something that is so accurate to a period effect and just done the way it should be done. Also, I did not expect to find a an Original KZbin creator that would make my morning.

[@bignickdublin]

Yup. I retired my Fender tank when I got a Surfybear, great piece of gear.

[@billtice5057]

Fantastic playing and tone!

[@vicseven6456]

This is informative, inspiring and hilarious all at once!!!

[@thecaveofthedead]

I can't wait to get a hold of one of these.

[@charlie-obrien]

I just picked up that same model in Brown that you are demoing here. Sound great, very light with a carrying bag and supplies great classic reverb. This was a great solution for me as I wanted to keep my little Super Champ, but was dying for that real spring reverb sound!

[@ethanyoung6733]

Great thumbpicking! Hope to be able to come see you play again soon!

[@RJRonquillo]

Yessir! Sounding great Joel

[@shckltnebay]

Just found your channel and impeccable playing!!!! I assume it does a good job of keeping unity gain on and off.

[@slicksnewonenow]

Hiya Joel- Jeez... You had that audience in the palm of your hand!🙄 Glad to see you're doing well! Cheers

[@Ill_drink_to_that]

Man your personality made this video fun to watch.

[@TheSurfersBand]

Great classic sound! :D

[@marcohermans3207]

Nice playing sir. I have the metal version of it and I love it. I hope you still enjoying it.

[@andymuri3463]

Quality content 🤗 subscribed.

[@SupraphonicsSurfCombo]

So great Joel! Hope they paid ya a bunch.

[@jasoncartwright586]

Hilarious. And I thought I was old school. Oh - and thanks for the product review. Hopefully I will be yet another satisfied customer :)

The James Hoffman of the guitar world.

[@MichaelLynMusic]

Now that is Cool!

[@PreacherAtArrakeen]

First time I've seen anyone with an ES-295. I've tried the Epiphone version, wanted it, but was not to be as they were discontinued. I'm looking at the little brother of the surfy that you're using. Oh, and I like your chops.

[@iplaymytele]

Dang Son You are a EXCELLENT Player…! On your Hawaiian Christmas 🎅🏻 song , I was curious as to how you got such a wonderful sound into your camera….?? New subscriber..! 👍🏻. ( the Jeff Galey Channel )

[@organjoe]

Fantastic Player, and always entertaining!!

[@zeroboyrick1717]

And round all the bases, home run SurfyBear.

[@LPCustom3]

How many Cheerios box tops do we need to send for this?

[@nevillejamesmartin1556]

Sold

[@LPdeluxe]

Great demo and playing, and very cool Gibson! Which model is that guitar?

[@yestoES355]

That’s a Gibson ES-295 he seems to have added the bigsby since they originally have a tail piece

[@right2armbears685]

The audience Laughing was hilariously

[@ac30lifestyle]

Demo starts at 3 minutes 20 seconds

[@86Argonaut]

I always kick my reverb during the bass solo :D

[@timwhitlock3500]

I thought Joel might pick up on the name and give us a little sample of the Surfybear's drip capabilities. Still, I have high hopes for him.

[@tweettweetjones1262]

We love guys like The Stray Cats, The Dempsey's, Samantha Fish, Chris Isaak, the Blues Brothers, Sha-na-na, Tommy Emmanuel, and Joel Patterson. Because we miss guys like Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent, Roger Miller, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Buck Owens, Elvis and Howlin' Wolf.

[@montag4516]

...and Nigel Tufnel.

[@tatuwaloranta2548]

Nothing beats real fender reverb units, but these surfybear reverbs are pretty close... These surfybear units have little longer echo "tail" than the original, and not so "splashy" reverb. Surfybears "drip" sound is great! Great units! I like use slap echo + reverb unit when i play rockabilly and country guitar. I love that Luther Perkins early 60s guitar sound with that reverb "drip" sound! Nice guitar pickin' and great sounds, Joel!

[@shckltnebay]

You could put a smaller tank in it

[@Clipartsongs]

Surfybear actually make a smaller version with shorter springs

[@capefearcapt4679]

Definitely lacks the "drip" of a real Fender tank.

[@charlie-obrien]

@@capefearcapt4679 He didn't demo it, but there is plenty of drip in these tanks.

[@marcohermans3207]

They have developed new tanks with accutronics called the surfypan. They sound even more like the old fender units now.

[@mrjohnp555]

Congrats, buddy. Gibson should make you a sig guitar...

[@derekirving]

Are you still using the Surfy Bear over the Fender (vintage) Reverb Unit?

[@thejoelpaterson]

Yes, I played most of my gigs with the Surfy Bear because it's so convenient and practical for me to use live!

[@ericajohnson7535]

you're hilarious!

[@dustinrieseberg8707]

Hey Joel, who made your guitar strap? I’d like to get a custom one made.

[@charlie-obrien]

Looks like a Walker & Williams brand or maybe a Franklin.

[@danackroydsbutt]

i love you

[@chimpsticks1]

That guitar tho!!!🥴

[@smoochie3331]

I never like solid state reverb. They sound treble-ish and lack of warm.

[@youssefkasim7556]

What amplifiers do you normally use?

[@thejoelpaterson]

I usually gig these days with a Victoria 2 10, like an old tweed Fender Super

[@youssefkasim7556]

@@thejoelpaterson thanks, I’ve heard Victoria amps were great at recreating the tones of old tweed amps. Have you tried their bassman model?

[@yestoES355]

@@youssefkasim7556 they’re great amps but they some of their models can be very noises/buzzy at low volumes. Id try some out if you have the chance.

[@capefearcapt4679]

I don't know man, sounds pretty lacking when compared to a Fender tank.
