Kingsley Pedal Platter 3

[@markyp4262]

Could listen to the tone & the playing all day long 👌🎵

[@Vito_Tuxedo]

Simon: Your pedals were recommended to me yesterday by a Sweetwater sales engineer (and they don't even sell your products). I'm still watching all the demos; there's much to assimilate here. I'm a guitarist, audio engineer & producer, so I really appreciate all the tech talk, and there's probably a Constable in my future. But I have to say that the real bonus in the demos is your playing. Absolutely superb job! 😎

[@BrazenNL]

Man, your playing, the harmony … fantastic; and although the Juggler is my favorite, the others are also beautiful. Your sounds are so organic, so visceral. You, sir, got Magic Hands.

[@Cuardaitheoirfirinne]

I am absolutely gob smacked. The tones, pedals, etc. is absolutely some of the best sounds I've ever heard but your playing is a masterclass and so musical. Thank you very much.

[@jessejohnson8210]

The Mason > Constable JTM > Hatchet sound is the BEST Strat tone I think I’ve ever heard. Simon, your brilliance in sound design is rivaled only by your playing.

[@PPIMV]

Thanks very much for the kind words Jesse!

[@Paulio91184]

Simon, you're one of my favorite guitar players of all time dude.

[@mikemorgan4774]

The seemingly effortless emotion in your playing brings me joy like no other guitarist on youtube. If that wasn't enough, you're also a genius pedal builder, and maybe the humblest person in the entire guitar community. You Sir, are a pleasure to watch. These videos must feel tedious to someone with such a high IQ, so thank you for sharing your talents, and please make more!

[@PPIMV]

Thanks very much Mike - I feel like I must owe you a lot of money or something! I have another video coming....

[@pepisoul1]

At 13:14 it is pure magic. Simon Jarett, you are an extraordinary superb player!

[@PPIMV]

Thanks very much for your kind words!

[@BitsOfEternity]

Concur - Gave me goosebumps! Made me think of Satch

[@vladimirpavlovic9488]

Finally someone on YT adoring the Pigtronix Echolution 2. Really underated pedal, for sure.

[@alexso7452]

Your playing is just as amazing as your pedals, Simon

[@DavidFeilyMusic]

Holy cow! Amazing tones and playing. This is 10000x better than the quilters

[@Bero70]

Just amazing playing and tones. Few minutes ago I sent e-mail to Simon about Juggler waiting list etc. Instead of buying "more expensive amp" I would like to improve my Amp with preamp.

[@jamesemerson4102]

That Juggler clean is really something else

[@TheBeriking]

Each time sounds more unbelievable. Fabulous tone, scintillating playing. Wow.

[@EllieReagan]

Beautiful playing, friend. And of course, amazing work on the gear engineering/designs.

[@krazyhandskyle]

I've enjoyed all 3 of these videos with the pedal platter. Great products you make, and as always, great playing. I'd love to hear this kind of playing with a small band.

[@Metal_Fishing_420]

Killer! some really awesome improvisation techniques to absorb here. The tones, are nothing short of Amazing!

[@PPIMV]

Thanks Ken!

[@mrc2662]

Simon’s pedals are surely among the very best pedals/pre-amps in the world. And that’s before we get to his playing, which is sublime. I have a Maiden D and a Page DS…is that more or less the Juggler minus a bit of control? Having the convenience of one box would be seriously helpful though….But as an aside to anyone interested….if you’re able to get one, you need even the basic Page on your board, it’s a thing of utter loveliness.

[@PPIMV]

Yes, the Juggler is like having a Maiden D and a Page DS in one box with a few added features.

[@mrc2662]

@@PPIMV cheers Simon 👍

[@collinsmith6565]

ridiculous playing my man! Love seeing the old pigtronix echo2 as well

[@JosephElsherbini]

That hatchet sounds great. My dream kingsley pedal would be a Bard and a Squire with the ability to crunch it up a bit (either a Page kinda thing or a solid state stage the could drive the squire or clip itself). You could call it a Kingsley Court. Basically an all-in-one solution (minus the cab sim and reverb...) for a clean/edge-of-breakup amp replacement for us bedroom headphone warriors.

[@YMESYDT]

Such an astoundingly talented player. Have you ever considered doing a video on why you still make all the pedals yourself? Rather than pairing with boutique amps distribution or something for manufacturing the pedals? More sales and no waitlist

[@godbyone]

Quality always s drops

[@omnaraiya]

Scaling the manufacturing would require significant compromise on process. Suggest checking out psionic audios repair/review video for a breakdown on the quality from a knowledgeable source. Also, probably not enough profit margin to make it worthwhile for traditional manufacturing/distribution/retail models… otherwise someone would have tried knocking them off.

[@daviddowns16]

@@omnaraiya that was my Harlot he replaced the footswitch in! When he called he said he was very impressed

[@southpaw335]

I’m just shaking my head and wondering why i’ve ever felt i needed/wanted anything other than a couple of kingsley preamps and a power amp. Simons magic playing obviously helps, but these just sound so good.

[@PPIMV]

Thank you very much for your kind words!

[@BitsOfEternity]

Would love to be able to order a Hatchet, if/when they become available.

[@metricdeep8856]

Damn...I don't know how competitors survive against these pedals. So natural and so on the mark when it comes to what I want from a pedal. My beloved sound starts with a Kingsley pedal. all else is optional.

[@sgraider2425]

Mind 🤯... Magical section around the 12:30 timestamp. Fantastic playing as usual Simon! When are you going to put out an album!?

[@PPIMV]

Thanks - when I find the time and funds I guess!

[@k.tucker599]

I am beyond impressed by the quality of what i'm hearing, both the pedals and the performance skills. Really intrigued by what I think the Eunuch pedal is doing. Seems that particular effect would be well-suited for a fretless bass guitar (in my mind, anyway). Any chance we might get to hear that combo at some point? Thanks large for doing good things on all levels. Peace!

[@Erickchicas]

Sounds great, when are you adding a Minstrel v3 to that platter?

[@Ram-zw7qz]

Amazing tones Simon! Do you remember which valves you had on the Constable at this time? Thx!

[@frankgreco]

Great vid Simon. Amazing tones and of course, fantastic playing. That Constable sounds great. I did notice its power requirements of 12v 500mA with center *positive*. I believe the low-end Cioks 4 can handle that power (the Cioks 7 certainly can), but do I need a special adapter for the center *positive* cable? All my other pedals are center *negative*.

[@PPIMV]

Hi Frank - Cioks sell a center positive cable (the one with red ends) - that's all you need. Either the DC7 or the 4 can power the Constable.

[@frankgreco]

@@PPIMV Thank you Simon!

[@thediminish8517]

If the crucible had been available with a 220 volt power input, I would have purchased it. It's fantastic, but Korea only provides 220 volt power.

[@billsherrington5996]

Wonderful toneage and playing as per! Loving the Eunuch but couldn't find it on your website. Any details yet?

[@PPIMV]

The Eunuch is a custom build for now. I will put some info on the site soon. In the mean time I describe it in my pedal platter 1 and 2 videos. Cheers,

[@ClintTucker]

Simon I am in love with your playing. I want to train with you! Which of your pedals would work very well with P90s in your opinion. Would the Harlot or should I think more about the Constable?

[@PPIMV]

The Constable is more of a low gain Marshall preamp (just like a real late '60s Super Lead preamp is)...the Harlot is more an all around OD with a good gain range and a generally somewhat aggressive voice. For front of amp tones it is more versatile. Hard to beat the Constable as a real preamp into a power amp though, so it depends on your setup and needs...Thanks for the kind words!

[@simonb.1665]

Great.

[@Dantettakumi]

Sir, if you kept making these great demo and pedals, i will be bankrupt very soon…

[@DuckDuckGo512]

Be interested to know what you would use as a power amp/speaker sim on the end of say a Juggler and Hatchet for a silent stage gig?

[@PPIMV]

I don't use cab sims but many of our customers do...the Two Notes CAB M seems to be highly recommended.

[@jakevannoy1630]

Sounds great. I’d be interested to hear what reverb types you use on the Ventris? Sounds like Spring or Plate?

[@jakevannoy1630]

I see you use the Hall later in the vid. Sounds killer. I dig the Hall L too, use it to get a great shorter hall sound like an old Lexicon LXP-1.

[@PPIMV]

@@jakevannoy1630 I mostly use my spring reverb prototype pedal and keep the Ventris for more obvious reverbs - like a big Hall and the E dome setting for a hold function...

[@timhumberstone5775]

Hi Simon, when will the Hatchet be on your website?

[@PPIMV]

I'll put in the custom builds section soon...

[@dapeegoo]

Can I go: JTM45 > Hatchet > IR Cab Sim? Will I miss any tones the the power amp produces?

[@PPIMV]

Yes that is a good application...you will still miss what the actual power tubes, output transformer and power supply bring to any particular amp. However, it is a good upgrade over preamp straight into cab sim.

[@leohernandezcolonful]

Can you use the Hatchet in front of an amp?

[@brianproffitt8759]

Absolutely, which makes it a perfect option for using with preamp pedals when you don't have an amp with an effects loop. The Hatchet was clearly an inspired design :-)

[@PPIMV]

Yes, as Brian says (he has the first one!) you can indeed use it front of amp. It's only needed if you have one of our preamps though - it is not a general tool that would work well with most overdrive pedals. I'll do another video soon where I go into more detail on the Hatchet.

[@frankgreco]

I don't see a price for the Mason or Hatchet on the website. But I'm guessing the ballpark price for the Mason+Constable+Hatchet is approx $1200 USD. The price of a good power amp is prob $500 USD. The price of one of your cabs is about $700. That's a total of $2400. Are these lovely components in your amps? If so, then it seems that buying one of your amps would be the better economic choice. Or am I missing something?

[@PPIMV]

The Mason and Hatchet are custom builds right now and you can read about the Mason here: kingsleyamplifiers.com/products/pedals/75/ Will put something up about the Hatchet soon...The separate parts of the amps (preamps, phase splitter) built in pedals are just a different approach to the traditional guitar amp approach...choose your preamps and switch between them into a power amp for an alternative way to get nice tones. Also I'm not building amps and cabs right now, as I'm too busy with the pedals.
