[@MrJayscinema]

Need a “John Meyer doesn’t like that” tshirt

[@TheWidowMaker.]

My problem is I want everything that Pete plays because he makes everything sound good.

[@jloiben12]

It sounds like Anderton’s chose the right guy to demo gear then

[@TheMan-nk6cj]

That is the problem 😂

[@finishin.my.coffee8780]

Exactly!

[@rosariofria1985]

You're right man

[@SujeetGT]

There's always something about a Boogie that makes it sound unique

[@backlom]

Mesa has found a way to market three pedals from one circuit. Well done Mesa.

[@chopperdeath]

The differences are stark and remarkable.

[@edwardmiller3469]

Sounds like Pete has found some new options for his pedalboard! On fire!

[@mrcoatsworth429]

Anybody else have some kind of weird memory of Pete appearing on the channel as a Mesa employee?

[@silverstaralchemist]

Yup, he was the Mesa rep for the infamous CabClone videos before he joined Andertons.

[@Doug5524]

A first-class review really enjoyable to watch and brilliant playing from Danish Pete, love the pedals

[@TheGrandmaMoses]

That really was Chappers' go-to' southern rock/blues/demonstrate overdrive-lick; and damn, he plays that so well with his hybrid picking! Glad to see that even Pete thinks so. :)

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

Lovely stuff Captain Lee and Danish Pete

[@JasonMcFly]

I've grown to enjoy how chaotic the show is with Danish Pete. The guy's energy is infectious

[@kleinereisber]

Yes finaly

[@BigJohnDeere100]

Bloom: the life of a sustained note or chord....basically the longer you hold a note or chord the more it grows, blooms, or breathes....it gets progressively more volume and harmonics..same ballpark as natural feedback, but bloom is more on the actual note and it's harmony than signal distortion and feedback caused by it. Great vid guys!!! Gotta get me the Cleo or the yellow one....fantastic!!

[@jeffliebig]

Yes Pete! "We all want more pedals on our board" :) ... agree with the top mount jacks.

[@Pulse2AM]

My cat is named Cleo, she want's that one but I like the Dynaplex. When she gets a job she can have it.

[@Watergrovey]

She already has the toughest job in the world; she’s a housecat.

[@Pulse2AM]

@@Watergrovey Somehow she managed to collect 10 cents and hide it by her scratching post, gotta keep an eye on my wallet now. She usually gets her way with those claws! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3qXhahvhcibn8k

[@wtfdelicious]

On fire indeed! Pete's playing in this video is even tastier than usual!!

[@Mark_Ocain]

I love the sound of that silver PRS..Looks ok- SOUNDS AWESOME

[@che2335]

Coffee and Danish in the morning always a winning combination!

[@pdbordelon]

I too want all of these pedals! The Cleo sounds so good but I just bought a Wampler Tumnus which does all my low/medium gain stuff. Still the Cleo is sweet!

[@Yupppi]

Pete Van Honoré was great, hopefully we got more some day. It's as if turning middle control below noon just doesn't do anything. As if they wanted you to have mids but wanted to give you the illusion of having control. Once again you can hear the dip switch changes the sound on the recorded material, but in the room apparently not.

[@jcugnoni]

The CLEO sounds especially good in Pete's hand. It fits perfectly with his very dynamic playing. The Dynaplex is also very good but there are so many pedals doing that plexi sound...

[@stanislavmigra]

I like, how amost no "plexi" pedal sound like the OG plexi amp. Yet all people associate plexi pedals with that type of high gain sound.

[@bazitube390]

Pete's les paul sounds like a real burst! killer guitar

[@johnjgibson6807]

Man This Video Rocked All The Way And Pete Was Tearin It Up 👍👍🎶🎶🎸

[@jbels41]

Oh baby!!!!!! Danish Pete on fire!!

[@brendandeeds1020]

Just bought an EVH Wolfgang Standard about 10 minutes before this video was released!

[@pinky5150]

great guitars! Swap for a push in trem, brass block and add push pull pots!

[@danielsaturnino5715]

Thumbs up for the captain lick.

[@warrencon1]

Love the gold mine tone. Ordered one. 👍

[@rome8180]

Damn, these pedals sound fantastic. The fact that they sound similar is fine by me. It's a great sound. And that means I only have to buy one of them. I'll probably get the Cleo.

[@rick1021]

Can’t wait to see the new “Mesa Boogie by Gibson” amps...

[@iceman10129]

Sound and options Mesa has always been my personal favorite amp brand, but I have always felt they all kind of look bland or utilitarian. If you took all the badging off you might think it was a Blackstar solid state. So I'm personally hoping that Gibson feedback kind of gives the look a bit of pizazz.

[@lordmanshaft1112]

Im guessing it's going to go in the opposite direction, where Gibson brings in Mesa for engineering work on a gibson branded series of amps/pedals, but keeps Mesa-boogie itself mainly self contained. "Gibson by Mesa Boogie" if you will

[@michaeltaylors2456]

Maybe a robot enabled Mark 3 reboot that automatically twiddles the knobs for a real “ channel “ switching amp

[@sheumack]

Can wait for the heads to fall off.

[@mikewilkinson694]

@@iceman10129 they have really cool custom tolex and grill options if you order direct from them. It will definitely be interesting to see what Gibson have in store for Mesa though!

[@michaeltaylors2456]

Messa buuugeee still slays me every time

[@klashy47]

Maybe it's just me lol but that Cleo gives me the Lynard Skynard vibes. Sounds nice with the tele!!

[@Kris_T_]

For a moment I thought that 1st pedal was called Colon.... Maybe it emmits brown noise.

[@michaelmattson3515]

Albert King sting on Cleo. I see a good use for the Marshall as a utility stand. Top mounted jack gives you room for one more pedal like 11 on your volume knob gives you one more loud.

[@oliverchapman51177]

Man, Pete is on fire

[@TheTeddydog1]

Cleo sounds great, and is probably the most useful of the 3.

[@sebbo1496]

that hansen sounds delish

[@tommytee3185]

cheez, i made guitar faces while listening to that gold mine being played!~ straight onto the wish list!

[@wtfdelicious]

same here, it sounded killer!!

[@KieranThomasSmith]

Pete is my favourite guitarist, his feel is something else

[@OgamiItto70]

Yeah, he's a bad dude. Super feel and some chops, too. Great balance. Really listenable.

[@rickeymitchell8303]

It's not the feel it's the versatility he's able to take that feeling you're talking about and put it into any genre and something that I constantly strive for as a guitarist a lot of the other guitarists on here have the shortcoming of focusing their mind on one genre and biasing all letters when Pete's mindset is to complete opposite that's why he shines

[@imagzz4942]

To me, Rabea takes the lead just slightly. Might have to do with the fact that I like a modern style of playing, but that isn't all he does. He is seriously just so versatile as well. Amazing at blues, amazing at rock, amazing at ambient music and of course amazing at metal. Great ear for tone as well and overall sound as well.

[@rickeymitchell8303]

@@imagzz4942 he's great but sometime he's playing turns me off Pete is another level

[@Zeppelin180]

Finally some authentic pedals.

[@leftofzeroofficial]

I'm a simple man, I see Danish Pete, I click like. Guys playing is just absolutely jaw dropping.

[@keithmalpass563]

On some pedals you need to cycle the power when changing dip switches.

[@Lavietto]

The amazing electro Harmonix Glove also has an internal switch to give the guitar 2 different characters.

[@TheSuperDmyers]

Confirmed by my buddy Tommy who designed these pedals at Boogie it is a group effort to name the pedals but the Cleo pedal was named by Doug as it remind him of the tone in the song Cleos back by Jr Walker.

[@docf.n.t.2310]

I like the modern gain for the rhythm sounds, but preferred the gold one for the lead tones and sustain. If I had to pick only one, I'd pick the gold. (for MY type of sound)

[@JGAbstract]

I'll buy one, but first, I need to learn to be good enough to do what Pete is doing! I'll be back in 8 years!

[@jeremyvanengen3341]

Within 30 seconds of Lee speaking, I'm always laughing. God, I love these guys.

[@hellodrjeckyl]

That Ibanez was great looking.

[@HudsonHandel]

I made the stank face when you turned the Cleo all the way up!

[@adrianmoore8840]

I'm officially a danish pete groupie

[@jasonwallerart]

Ok. So Pete can do it all? Sound great these do.

[@cjleavitt17]

Damn Pete has the fire. He brought the A game x2. He can play. The pedals are awesome also. I have the Flux Drive and have been looking at these

[@jasonkaram1034]

** "Unchained" his inner Van Halen. Can't believe you guys missed that one!

[@svenx1423]

Pete 🙏 more Van Halen - so great 👍👍👍

[@endezeichengrimm]

I was just wanting more overdrive pedals.

[@STRATMAN1969]

If Mesa is making amp in a box pedals they should do a duel rectifier or now maybe a Gibson Falcon ha any way love this channel great review. Another great channel with killer reviews is PEDAL OF THE DAY . I don't think as a pedal community we the fans have givin this guy his due. I was shocked when I realized, and saw how few of us support his content .So let me be the first to announce the What the HELL guys ? PEDAL OF THE DAY campaign right here on Andertons comment section. Now all of you go watch one of his videos. For Petes sake well not Danish Pete but you know . Like if you want to support the WtHg?POTDc rolls off the key pad still workin on the name .

[@zoltanballa-farkas3663]

Danish purplex hot for pedal.

[@simontag7937]

I want exactly that Ibanez lefthanded pls. 😍

[@lukehenderson436]

Cleo Rocos from The Kenny Everett show has a signature pedal!

[@cirjames2540]

Can't wait until Pete learns some Death Metal. The Goldmine pedal sounds brilliant!

[@MEDiumInc]

Do a comparison w/ the older Mesa Boogie line of drives (Grid slammer, Flux drive, etc)

[@dennybronwynbennett]

Good stuff guys. Now I suddenly feel the need to go and listen to 'Hot for Teacher'... Don't understand why!

[@petercarlton4400]

you guys do all kinds of awesome videos to help noobs... could we get this is how to use adjust "delay" pedal??? please

[@naylor2006]

I lost it when Scooby Doo turned up 😂😂

[@johndellaselva687]

They all sound Fizzy to my ears! Not sure if it's the sound Pete and you are actually hearing in the room?

[@mr.popoballballl745]

First Vox, and now this

[@silverstaralchemist]

The Gold Mine dip switch is probably to switch between a tight bass end and a flubby, vintage Marshall one when chugging. I use Marshalls for hard rock and metal and pretty much always have my SD-1 on as a clean boost to tighten up the low end. So I assume one is that tighter chug and the other is the flubby vintage chug. Just so happens the passages Pete was playing didn't really highlight that difference I guess?

[@bryantwalley]

I can just imagine being at the gig and telling everyone to hold on while I remove the pedal from the board, take off the back, flip the switch, put the back on, and then remount the pedal on the board. I believe they will really love that.

[@JustinfromNJ]

The obvious solution is to buy two and then just turn them on and off as needed!

[@bryantwalley]

@@JustinfromNJ yes indeed.

[@Bob-Whiting]

@@JustinfromNJ Yeaaaahh, then it'll only cost us a little bit over $400.00 U.S. to turn a switch on and off! Boogie, could you drill one more little tiny hole and poke in a .75 cent switch so we don't need to buy two, or, is that the idea?! lol

[@dpault]

Was thinking the same thing. It’s apparently beyond the capability of the designers to put a toggle switch on the top.

[@mechmat12345]

I suppose they expect people to use these like almost all other pedals, where you fiddle with them at home and/or practice until you find the sound you like, then never change the settings.

[@christopherderycke3603]

More info on the Gold T type please?

[@andertons]

It is a Hansen T-Style.. www.andertons.co.uk/brands/hansen-guitars?#

[@jackieohehir3259]

Goldmine.....reminds me of Thin Lizzie guitar sound

[@chopperdeath]

Hooray, 3 more overdrive pedals. That makes it 1546 models now.

[@PopeThunder]

They really need to standardize smaller jacks and thinner cables for between pedals.

[@scottethanglenn9747]

You guys need to do a Ministry of Silly Guitar Licks sketch. Or maybe a Dead Pedal one.

[@deckert618]

Cap slamming the dip switches back and forth, frantically twisting knobs Me: Whoa, slow down there, buddy, lemme here more than two notes

[@davidkay3443]

I like Andertons but doing your homework before a presentation is essential . The dynaplex ( clue in name ) is a plexi style and is the medium output of the pedals shown. It’s going for the plexi tone upto jcm800 ish and the gold mine is the heaviest gain one here which goes against what in video. The Cleo a pumped up tube screamer. I’m all for selling items but pls give people the correct info when doing so

[@6stringsandapick]

Didn't like the Dynaplex until Pete hit the neck pickup, then it turned to butter!

[@Maxime1602]

from what song is that great riff on that les paul at 11:25 ??? greaat sounding pedals

[@michaelwilliamson248]

Lenny Kravitz (and Slash). Mama said

[@brocluno01]

M-a-e-s-a with a long A sound if it's an Alta California derived word ... And likely as a Calif based company they are pulling from that direction. Like a cowboy riding across the mesa ... Anyway, Pete found his EVH tones on the Goldmine - well done : -) They all sound good and seem to react to the instruments being put in. And that raises another shootout - which pedals are input impedance sensitive, and which not so much ??

[@Uemmagic1]

New prs line up reviews please

[@guitarsimon1]

Oh cool, more overdrive pedals...

[@DenseSilkyVenom]

at 9:55 Danish Pete says,"I dreamt you played this lick." I thought the Captain was gonna say,"Pete, I taught you that lick." that would've been hilarious lol

[@dylanporter8105]

Sounds like an overdrive to me

[@dntinpalevo]

200 for a Marshall-kind-of sound. Just get the real thing; a DSL20 is around 300!

[@carspotter_mike]

Go on Eddie Van Honore !

[@zeevshaff]

6:20 no mug effects... disappointed (I still love your videos)

[@4vinylsound]

Unfortunately dip switches is a deal-breaker I don't want to have to disassemble and unscrew apart a pedal just to dial in a tone. put the dip switches on top or don't have them please

[@theattentionwhores2406]

Oh also remember what happened to Steinberger after Gibson took them over ?!

[@RafaelYamaga]

About the DIP internal switch in the Golden one: the guys are not listening to what WE are listening. But the "scooped", "tighter" thing shows. When Lee changes the position I can hear the difference. It's not that subtle.

[@unclejemima2017]

So which one for a Van Halen sound

[@4vinylsound]

Great pedal just unscrew apart go through the Maze inside for an hour to adjust the volume

[@whatwouldhousedo5136]

These sound better than Mesa's older pedals like the Throttle Box IMHO. I had one of those and hated it. Thought it sounded "plasticky" for want of a better description.

[@jamesfurz7406]

I'm still looking for that dimed dual rectifier punk rock sound but I don't think it exists without a DR running full tilt... surprised they've not been able to replicate it yet.

[@TheGrandmaMoses]

In a pedal? 'Cause you could always get it in a Kemper if you're so inclined...

[@jamesfurz7406]

@@TheGrandmaMoses Yea, Kemper seems like one of the few options, it would be nice in analog however.

[@lukehenderson436]

I guess they’d rather sell an amp than a pedal? Or you can’t perfectly recreate an amp in a pedal?

[@Sid-np3hf]

Is that a collaboration between Anderton’s and Marshall on a exclusive Marshall head shelf?

[@STRATMAN1969]

one spot accessories. ha

[@MisterRorschach90]

Should’ve turned them all on at the same time

[@gazwoldunderwhelmed529]

Perhaps i should pop along to give a comparison ?

[@Andredecan]

How do these compare to the Flux Drive?

[@DougMen1]

Through hole boards are perhaps easier to repair, but there's nothing inherently better about them. Both Josh at JHS and Brain at Wampler found that SMT was more reliable, better sounding, and lower noise, and that's why they decided to go with that on all their pedals, after building some samples using SMT and comparing them to their same pedals with through hole construction.

[@stevenvandemsky7290]

It’s just marketing. SMD boards can be built in large quantities with minimal cost. That‘s the only reason companies start using it…

[@2122banks]

Mason boogie got a new daddy now that's funny 🤣😂🤣
