Kingtone Blues Power REVIEW - (PLUS HUMBUCKER DEMO!!!)

[@vivienverdier]

Killer demo man!The blues power is absolutely the best overdrive for this genre :)

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Thanks so much man, means a lot coming from you! Definitely a great pedal! I’ll do a duellist demo soon as well!

[@michaelarmstrong1730]

Holy cow! You got some love from Vivien! That guy don't mess around. NICE! I love my Blues Power too. Its for sure a keeper. I've been watching KZbin on my tv and haven't been on my tablet in a while, otherwise I would have said how much I love your licks way sooner. You got some cool licks. Keep the videos coming bro.....

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Thanks so much man! Definitely will keep the vids coming!

[@clarkengelbert4575]

GREAT playing sir! Thoroughly enjoyed listening to your playing, makes the demo way more interesting.

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Thank you!

[@justinbradfield6499]

nice early Clapton tone on the SG !!! Great Playing !!!!!

[@massimos6863]

Awesome playing great Sounding Pedal Awesome Tone 👍

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Thank you!!

[@skeletor2000]

Wow! Sounds great with both the strat and the sg ... I think it might be even better with the humbuckers!

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

It’s crazy how good king tone is with humbuckers but no one ever uses them like that!

[@v-gc7257]

Nice. Want one

[@randyschock7374]

Nice. Great playing.

[@BlitzTball]

leave the pedal aside, some of the best playing i have seen on youtube.

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Wow bro thank you so much!!!

[@thejamnasium6447]

I have the Duellist but the urge to also get a BP is STRONG

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

That was me the other way around! If you like that gritty rough srv distortion the bp would be a great pedal to get!!!

[@Livelaughlimpbizkit]

Man you absolutely slay! If possible could you share your blues power settings when you used the SG please?

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Thanks bro! You can see the settings I change as I go in the mini screen!

[@jamesemerson4102]

Absolutely killer tones man!

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Thanks bro!!

[@yyleung6914]

nice demo! very good sound ! btw I saw your brute driver pedal is always on in this video, is for booster? thanks!

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Hey thanks for checking it out! So the brute drive isn’t used at all in this video, the blue light is a mid boost for the pedal when it is on, which it isn’t. Cheers!!

[@bengraham878]

Sounds great. Sorry if I missed it, but are the humbuckers in the Epiphone the original ones?

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Thanks man! All stock on that guitar!

[@bigbb420]

Excellent!!!

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Thanks!!!

[@therangersinger]

Damn that sounds good brother. You definitely play with conviction. I have the duelist and have wondered if this is close to the heavy hand side of it.

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Thanks man! Appreciate it! I’ve played the duelist and should have a video on it soon as well but I think the blues power sounds a lot more rough than the heavy hand side, not so compressed!

[@therangersinger]

@@tastee_licks_thomas that's the kind of answer I was expecting to hear. It sounds that way to me. Thank you sir!

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

@@therangersinger make sure to watch my comparison vid when it comes out to have a bit of a clearer a b between them!!

[@therangersinger]

@@tastee_licks_thomas will do.

[@Jaques355]

Great playing dude! I am in doubt about getting the duellist or the blues power. I want to play some srv but I am a marshall jubilee and a Les Paul owner hahaha. I was wondering if the duellist could be always turned on when playing clean from the amp or it would be a little tiring for the ears. But on the other hand, I’d like something versatile. What do you recommend, blues power or the duellist?

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Hey man thanks! Because the duellist is a bluesbreaker/ Ts pedal having it on all the time in my personal opinion wouldn’t really work super well with what your rig is, if you want more of that srv type tone I think you’d be better off with a blues power. I bought a blues power after tossing up for ages between them, and then decided I’d get the duellist and compare then sell one of them, but then I couldn’t sell either! It also works well as a nice boost for other tones as well!

[@Jaques355]

@@tastee_licks_thomas thank you very much! I will follow your advice and buy the blues power. Maybe I’ll be able to make my Marshall more fender-ish hahaha

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

@@Jaques355 well the blues power is pretty much a blackface preamp ( or can be used like one). If you get one and your amp has a fx loop try plugging it straight into the return, you’ll get much closer to a fender tone ! You won’t be disappointed with it!!

[@Jaques355]

@@tastee_licks_thomas perfect!! Thanks and keep doing an excellent job! 🤘🏽👏🏽

[@Jaques355]

@@tastee_licks_thomas another question. Are you using straight into the return or in front of the amp?

[@007snipershot]

How doe this compare to Honey Bee Amp's "The Double Trouble" dual overdrive? And will it make me play like Stevie Ray? ;)

[@drkuehne]

very nice , got mine today ;-))

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Nice dude!! Cheers for checking out my video!!

[@rodrigod2917]

Mate, what do you think of that bonsai? I have been so close to pull the plug a few times but somewhat I always get cold feet, as I think that there are better options such as the duellists or similar ones...

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

I think the bonsai gets it done, however I have struggled to make it work in my rig. I also have a duellist and I believe the duellist is a better ts than what the bonsai offers. I may do a review of both on this channel if that is something you’d be interested in!

[@d179654582248]

You’re too good to have all the 60 cycle hum going on. You should switch to noiseless pickups or something; the newest ones are amazing and don’t kill the tone like the old ones used to.

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

I’ll have to give it a look dude! 60 cycle hum is like background noise for me at this point!

[@jordanpriest3629]

Hello from New Mexico. Hope all is well.

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Thanks for watching the vid dude! I’m from Australia! Crazy how far the internet can reach! Hope all is well with you too!

[@jordanpriest3629]

Yeah it's amazing how easy it is to talk to someone that far away. Love your playing. I'm a huge stevie fan as we'll.

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

@@jordanpriest3629 thanks dude, we all live to be stevie!!!

[@RamsayPhillips]

Hey bro, superb playing… just wanted to point out that your amp name is pronounced “cherry-a-tone” … superb amps. Have been mates with Nik for a decade… keep up the great videos! :)

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Hey mate! Thank you very much :) yea a few people have told me I’ve been saying it wrong since these videos have been done 😆 when I do the new ones I’ll make sure I get it right :)

[@szpackyu]

What kind of amp is it?

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

Hey man thanks for checking out my vid!! It’s a Ceriatone jm100! I have another video review of it on my channel if your interested! Cheers!!

[@szpackyu]

@@tastee_licks_thomas sounds awesome! Thought it was TwoRock :) Great playing!

[@tastee_licks_thomas]

@@szpackyu the jm100 is actually the same circuit as the two rock John Mayer signature with a few extra mods, so if you close your eyes it’s a two rock!!

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Sounds awesome but Kingtone pedals are just ridiculously priced. Not saying you shouldn’t pay for quality, but when a dirt pedal approaches the price of a medium class tube amp something could be argued to be a bit out of balance …
