Most Hyped Dual Overdrives - Shootout | King Of Tone, Duellist, Gladio... | Gear Corner

[@ezrijosafathbeltranjuarez4691]

This is how a pedal review needs to be. This is perfect comparison and the final thoughts!!! Come on I just love how helpful is this. Congrats!!!

[@KrisBarocsi]

@@ezrijosafathbeltranjuarez4691 Thank you so much! 🙌

[@pavlosargyriou403]

All pedals are just great, loved them all. What i would like to see is a comparison between the Kasleder Toxic Twins and the Browne Amplification Protein .

And the real winner is… The Revv Dynamis!!! Each week I fall more in love with that amp… all the pedals sounded amazing! And of course, the player also helps! ;) Cheers, my friend!!

[@igortikho]

Awesome tones, my favorites Toxic twins and Double trouble, love them!

[@hcrockso1]

Really surprised to say but the Kasleder reeally sounded most pleasing to my ears... Definetily full video on it!

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

Yes, I second that.

[@horschy4856]

Puhh. Long two weeks waiting for the video since your teaser 😉 For me the Kot has THE ting and I think I found my alternative with the toxic twins 😍 I was really looking forward to the video and not got disappointed. Very well done 💪

[@Erickchicas]

I love my KOTs finally someone doing justice to the great mid gain sounds it has.

[@billavonda1604]

Killer playing - you make them all sound great

[@KrisBarocsi]

Ohh man, thank you so much! I try to give my best. 😅

[@PooNinja]

I’m not picking a favorite, my feeling is that one should have as many overdrives as you can get!

[@outwook]

Do you mean overdrive pedals bring happiness?

[@PooNinja]

@@outwook very much so

[@stanesposito2664]

Agree! One of each please!

[@MrDavemiley]

I agree , An SRV drive, a Dumble ODS drive and a Modded Marshall OD/Dist are the three sounds I go for. it is hard to get all that out of just one pedal.

[@marctorrez774]

Awesome demo! Thank you!

[@GraniteSoundtrack]

The opening piece on the tele was beautiful bro. You're playing was always good, but your taste gets better and better! The KoT and the Toxic Twins were my favorite. But all were very good and viable choices for all guitarists.

[@KrisBarocsi]

Thanks so much Lewis! It means a lot! 🙌🙌

I have and love the KOT but really liked you review and comments on all of the dual pedals. Cheers!

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

Nice video! I own a KoT and a Duellist. I find myself reaching for the Duellist every time. I recently removed the KoT from my board and put a Walrus Audio Warhorn/Ages pedal in its place, which I’m really enjoying. I’m not getting rid of the KoT, though. It would have been great to see the Protein included here, since I see it showing up on more and more boards lately, but I know you can’t include every pedal in one video.

[@MK-tj5bf]

Thank you for such a nice video and useful info!

[@lfigueroa97]

Very instructive Kris, thanks!!

[@TheBhannah]

nice playing ! all pedals sounded great !

[@KrisBarocsi]

[@boomerbassmeme]

Between KoT and Double trouble for me. I usually play a Tele or Gretsch with mini buckers and like fairly bright and glassy, but with some thickness (if that makes sense LOL)

[@renato_guitar2138]

Lots of juicy tones Kris!! Thanks 🤘🏻

[@arturrembielinski4869]

Hi Kris, great comparison. I wonder how would you like Wampler's Gear Box amongst those pedals.

[@davidwoods358]

Truthfully, I'd be happy with any one of them. They each have their particular thing and there's not a bad one in the bunch.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

Which overdrives work best with an AC30 in your opinion. I've got a T-Rex Mudhoney and that thing is awesome. I also use a TS9 with my AC30.

[@jt3483]

I've tried a couple of these but have never heard of Kasleder or the Toxic Twins. It sounded great! Really really impressive.

[@stanislavmigra]

Very hard to say. All pedals are great. The KoT surprised me how much gain it can pull off. Somehow, the Duelist had the most "forgetable" tone from this video. It kinda was not special in any way, to be recognized among these pedals. Gladio and Double trouble sounded most unique today.

[@KrisBarocsi]

Thanks for the comment Stan! Everyone shows the KoT as a super low gain mid-humpy drive. It’s so much more and actually I prefer it’s mid-gain tone too it’s low-gain sound. It cleans up perfectly with the guitars volume knob, so why set the gain on the pedal super low. 😆

[@normanperkel139]

Your new videos are always SO anxiously anticipated, but frighten my bank account. LOL

[@KrisBarocsi]

Well, then I’m sorry Norman’s bank account and you’re welcome Norman’s ears. 😆

[@normanperkel139]

@@KrisBarocsi with your help my ears win!

[@fraenkiboii]

God damn the double trouble is killing it for me! But that maybe because I’m learning “lenny” at the moment. That upper mid sparkle is soooo good on this pedal! News from the KoT waitlist: 10 days waitlist in 30 days real time.

[@hekakain4108]

Why no TV Jones pick ups?

[@hakankillberg6043]

Great video they all sounded great but for me the best is the Gladio

[@MikelBluni]

Had a KOT, but could get the same sounds and playing feel with my 50$ Caline Burst pedal - see demo on my channel. From the pedals shown I thought the Coppersound Foxcatcher was a big surprise and delight - really very great sounding and perfectly blanced. Everybody is raving about super glassy sounds...but listen to SRVs recordings, especially from the beignning...I think most of the newer pedals exaggerate something that there never really was in that way the industrie wants us to belive it was!

[@joesaxon6566]

Here is a lot of gain on the KOT and others in the 2nd round but the Gladio got like no gain, what's up with that?

[@KrisBarocsi]

Actually from 4:01 that is a pretty high gain Gladio tone with the strat. The pedal has two fairly low gain sides but as shown here if you stack them you can get lots of gain.

[@joesaxon6566]

@@KrisBarocsi I'm talking about round #2 while you compare them all one by one. It's on low gain compared to all the others.

[@TobysGuitarGearDemos]

That first intro tone with the Kasleder is to die for 👍

[@KrisBarocsi]

Thanks man! Yeah the Toxic Twins is… toxic. 😆 I adore that thing.

[@gilbata]

Agree, intro is tonal nirvana, checking this Kasleder I didn’t know about

[@topografer]

Double trouble clean side is phenomenal. Other than that most blues breakers sounded similar. And I just realised that the KoT doesn't sound at all like a BB. And it does have a mid hump. Not TS level but there's a clear hump in the mids that is simply not there in the classic BB. I am looking to get a KoT and a Soloist at some point, while the gladio SC will be soon on my board. Right now among others I own a protein and I am super happy with it

[@KrisBarocsi]

I agree, the KoT does have a recognizable mid hump. I really have to try the Protein already. 😅 Everyone seems to love it and recommend it. I bet it’s super sweet.

[@topografer]

@@KrisBarocsi i think it has a great bb side and a really smart decision to go for an odr1 side instead of a TS. Makes sense because everyone has a TS already. Totally recommended! Thanks for this comparison it was great ! 👍

[@shorerocks]

Well, without the Tim Pierce pedal (JRAD), I cannot place them. This is one great pedal that is on my board since I bought it. But kinda overlooked.

[@MarcusSiepen]

And here we go again, your video firing up my GAS again :-) Close call between the Duellist, King of Tone and Toxic Twin for me

[@KrisBarocsi]

Haha, I dare taking that as a compliment. 😂 Thanks a lot Marcus, good selection! Toxivc Twins right side is also killer in front of dirty amps for tight chugs. 💪

I like THE DUELLIST. If possible in the future do you can do The comparison between The VERTEX ULTRAPHONIX and ThorpyFX The Bunker Overdrive?

[@andreasbravos7943]

The duellist sounds great for me, I prefer in general pedals with full footswitch instead of those with the knob, to just catch the changes in a song. However, I would be happy to participate in a giveaway in one of them. ;)

[@hulkamania57]

have you tried shin's music double trouble green relic? i guess it can be in this lineup.

[@ShaighJosephson]

I've tried them all and ended up going with the Boss OD-200... The other overdrives were good, but too limitted in comparison...

[@gaborboros7759]

I am very proud because 2 pedals of those came from Hungary.

[@KrisBarocsi]

And they are every bit as good as the hyped ones. 🙌

[@LeifPalmin]

Yes, show me the twinns! Makes me think about the Overlook Hotel....

[@wessmusic]

I think all of them sounded great, I also really liked this comparison style! Though I wish there were more budget options for dual overdrives. Seeing as I'm still using my €400 Fender Super Champ x2, I don't feel comfortable spending €200 on a single pedal

[@stanislavmigra]

That super champ works with pedals very well, dont worry about that. One of the best amp to work with pedals at low volume.

[@wessmusic]

@@stanislavmigra yea I guess that's true. I'm still looking for a new amp with similar versatility that I might be able to use on gigs but it's harder than I thought

[@stanislavmigra]

@@wessmusic that might be tough, when you are used to the functionality of XL Champ. In your place, Id go and try Marshall DSL40 (not lower watteg version), or the 100w head. All the four channels are usable and the classic crunch works super well with pedals.

[@wessmusic]

@@stanislavmigra yeah I was thinking of Marshall as well. I've been looking at the Origin 50H and I'll buy a separate cab with it. The Super Champ x2 will still be the ideal home-amp of course

[@stanislavmigra]

@@wessmusic The Origin 50 is great amp, cant go wrong with that one.

[@ekan1578]

Great playing as always Kris. I’m missing the Royal Flush from this comparison. I think it’s an interesting pedal and would have like to know how it stands up against this bunch.

[@KrisBarocsi]

Thanks a lot Martin! There are a few insanely good pedals missing here, obviously. If I can grab a few of them for a second round, I’ll make that happen.

[@slimturnpike]

The Royal Flush is pretty amazing, I agree. I think I'd put it up close to KOT

Im on the waiting list for a KOT.... Id love to see a vid on the TT!.. ;) And.... Ive been interested in an Amp Head that does good cleans (like a deluxe reverb head) .... that head you used sounded pretty spectacular before you even turned the pedals on!.... do one on 'Good Clean Head'. ;)

The playing was killer. I would like to here them with a P90. And always i just can't a sound near this out of my gear. Also the volumes on the pedals are very high. I always have the feeling this is too much. Maybe this kind of sound comes with the volume? Stacking drives at bedroom level never works for me.

[@KrisBarocsi]

Hey, I played them with a humbucker guitar too. 👍 Here’s my take on why most players showing these pedals prefer single coil guitars. Those pickups reveal more of the differences and for that reason seem to make more sense for low gain sounds / comparisons. More presence, less compression. That being said, I dig both hb's and singles. Cheers!
