Ravenstone Apollo V2 | Dial in ANY Classic Blues Tone

[@ravenstonepedals]

Thanks for having us, Shane! What a wonderful playing! We have been a fan since we began playing the guitar, it’s still surreal to see our pedals here

[@intheblues]

Thanks so much guys! Awesome work on this effect!

[@andychen5559]

i got mine 2 weeks ago! it's MAGICAL! best pedal i have ever owned it's got all the dumble greats' tones

[@leoomar6131]

Just bought one, waiting for it to come, can't wait to try it out!! Thanks a lot Shane for the discount!! 😃

[@RyanGunns]

6:19 is my favorite setting

[@mentalcog2187]

Can't believe it actually made that wonderful amp sound even more wonderful!! WOW! Yeah,.. gotta love it! 😄👍

[@zettepix2009]

wow this playing is awesome and delictae. The tones of the pedal are great.

[@markdakel9253]

Shane, you’re playing was excellent!! Thats an impressive pedal, I especially like how it sounded with the Tele but is was great with all the guitars used, it’s incredibly dynamic and I’d love to have one

[@intheblues]

Thanks, Mark! Rock on mate.

[@jamiewentworth887]

Ordered one. Sounds great.

[@andrewksadventures]

Sounds like a great asset to have on the board. Nice playing and review Shane.

[@toddflowers8052]

Wow !! That thing is freakin' awesome... great playing and demo mate !!

[@jamalabdul2009]

Nice catch and even nicer pedal!!! Good tones and cool vibes!!😎😎🎸🎸

[@captainkirk1745]

Friggin' AWESOME!!

[@ew6629]

Wanted to let you know after seeing your video, I decided to order this pedal. It is every bit as fantastic as you demonstrated! I'm getting rid of my BOSS BD-2 on my pedal board and replacing it with this pedal. In case someone orders it, just a heads up they make them to order so it'll take a couple weeks before you get it, at least that's what I experienced after emailing them. It wasn't sitting in stock ready to ship. This is a GREAT pedal!

[@ravenstonepedals]

Thanks! we had some shortage during Christmas, now we have stocks ;)

[@thiagoalexandrino]

amazing tone and playing! 👏

[@scottreynolds6317]

Love the tones Shane! I wish that I could get my strat to sound so good!!!

[@simondixon6761]

Pedal sounds killer Shane!

[@GRBAquatics]

Very Cool, Thankyou. Awesome sounding Pedal and awesome playing as always. So many sound options. Very interested. Recently picked up a NU-X "Steel Singer" Drive Pedal, "Dumble in a Box", Has quickly become a favorite Overdrive Pedal, So awesome. Cheers

[@jimmikus3089]

I think the folks that are negative are the same ones who use joyo and call it boutique. If ya can’t afford it, just say that!

[@trishmanning4447]

Great playing Shane 😊

[@jorgemiro1613]

Very nice clean and clear blues tone without all the Mudd and distortion. One of the best pedals among the 3,000 different pedals available today. Pedals are like cable channels. Too many to choose from

[@stevep1941]

Nice video mate. I can pretty much pull all those tones however out of a cheap Joyo American Sound, although it's a little noisy and not great build quality, and I don't use it anymore :) Keep up the good work.

[@TroyNaumu808]

Awesome !!!

[@shanewalton8888]

Love this sweet, smoldering jam. Pedal is a little pricey for me.

[@DMSProduktions]

VERY versatile little box ' dirt! \m/

[@michelvondenhoff9673]

Looks like that Tony Iommi pedal. Nice sound & great looks.

[@northcountryfisher2121]

Beautiful tones! But a bit spendy for me, even with the discount. Love your style though mate.

[@tonypalamara770]

Great demo Shane and fabulous playing!One question, how much of that great tone we are hearing can be attributed to you using a great amp? My experience with buying pedals that sound great on KZbin is that they are never as good with my amps as demonstrated online. Thanks again Shane

[@RyanGunns]

you could check out my demo of this pedal too i use a very ordinary clean amp :D

[@portsideguitar1981]

Cool pedal!

[@TempusDan]

I definitely need to get something like this, if you guys haven't tried out the Blammi! Blues Breaker clone...that's a fantastic and better version vs the original for blues stuff too!

[@TempusDan]

Blammo!

another outstanding demo, Thanks Shane

[@tbone2451]

Sounds good, no pedal should be over $200.

[@intheblues]

How do you justify that price?

[@tbone2451]

@@intheblues It’s just my opinion , they’re manufactured in Taiwan .

[@RyanGunns]

@@tbone2451 A lot of things changed after 1980's, cost of living in taiwan is as much as in Japan. Taiwan is not a cheap labor country anymore.

[@KahruSuomiPerkele]

​@@tbone2451 Taiwan has changed since the 80's, the days of okay quality electronics at a very low cost. The cost of living increased a lot since then. Not only that but the country now manufactures the highest quality semi-conductor in the world. TSMC produces the chips that are in most electronics around you. It's still a little bit a manufacturing country because the minimum wage hasn't increased by much since the 2000's

[@TempusDan]

Does Shane have blues guitar courses?

[@mr.d.572]

No, he has said he doesn't do the instructional thing.

[@mr.d.572]

I might have missed this but how different does it sound with 18v vs. 9v?

[@intheblues]

I can never hear any difference between 9 and 18v on any pedal I've tested.

[@andychen5559]

For what i experienced from this pedal, 18V gives you a more "clean blend" in your overdriven tone. and also gives the pedal more dynamic range, less compression very useful when stacking pedals.

[@stoneysdead689]

Impressive pedal that costs about 100 bucks more than it should.

[@mattwilliams3104]

Im so confused this pedal basically doesn't exist ANYWHERE on the internet other than the link you provided

[@RyanGunns]

it's available on Reverb too. it's a new boutique brand, highly recommended.

[@KahruSuomiPerkele]

are you sure about that? When Googling Ravenstone Apollo onto Google, I have like 23 results that are about this pedal and the rest is the usual Google nonsense. Most results are also from 2022. This find makes me question your research methods.

[@RyanGunns]

@@KahruSuomiPerkele maybe it's different search for different countries/areas. when i was in japan, i couldnt find what i usually search for.

[@kane6529]

You know I was just thinking to myself 🤔there’s not enough incredibly similar overdrives on the market. Then Boom I learn of another

[@intheblues]

The same can be said for the comments section. There's a lot of people that say that but don't actually understand or listen to what makes this unique. Rock on.

[@DMSProduktions]

@@intheblues Ouch! :o)

[@thornwivans]

Sounds like a Joyo Vintage Overdrive

[@KahruSuomiPerkele]

an overdrive sounding like an overdrive? Surprising.

[@edmondlaw6146]

I have both of them. They are different. Joyo Vintage is good copy of Tubescreamer, and Apollo V2 provide much more subtle options and exquisite tone.
