Amazing playing, amazing pedals and tone. What this shows me is that many of us own way too many drive pedals and obsess over the little nuances when actually they do all sound almost identical.

[@Joe-mz6dc]

The skills of a guitar player would be about 90% of the outcome. 10% would be the pedal. And the sexy girl in the audience getting wet will always respond if you can develop your guitar playing skills and to be the 90%.

[@firebald2915]

True, true. Same with guitar tone. An EQ pedal is the best pedal to have on your board. I'm surprised he didnt have a TrueTone Jekyll & Hyde dual pedal. Mine can be dialed in infinitely. Lots of tone knobs to play with.

[@mattgilbert7347]

​@@firebald2915Love my V2 Jekyll and Hyde! I've owned three over the years and come back to it often, like an old friend I could get my with just an EQ, a compressor and my three Truetone pedals: Jekyll and Hyde V2, H2O V1, Tap Delay V3.

[@firebald2915]

@mattgilbert7347 I hear ya ! I just switched to Elixir Phosphor Bronze strings on my thinline Tele to get more string tone out of it and got a wound G which gets rid of that nasty squeal that predominates too much. Running a Fender LT25 bypassing that 8" speaker into an aged G12k Eminence. I love mid range tone crunch clean then put my Jekyll&Hyde OD to punch it up from clean. That speaker cab (Crate) made my weekend happy as can be. EQ and my Cloudburst and I'm set.

[@mattgilbert7347]

@@firebald2915 I'm a fan of wound-Gs! Back when I played a MIJ Vox SG copy, we were a kind of grungy/proto-"Queens of the Stone Age" Indie band and I used 13s or 14s on the Vox with only 5 strings (no high E). The G on that was, ofc, wound. We tuned it down 2-4 steps. Second guitar was an Epiphone Explorer with 10-46 standards on it, tuned to a couple of alternative tunings depending on the song. I ran a 100W Fender Solid State 1x12 combo for the first few years, then finally got my first Valve amp, a beast of a thing made in Dunedin, New Zealand. "Gerard" 75W EL34 Power valves, 3 or 4 12AX7s in the pre (maybe 1 was a 12AU7... long time ago). I had three pedals and one all-analog mini-rack reverb/,delay. 330ms analog delay and it had a tiny spring inside! Pedals were a RAT clone, a Washburn Stereo Chorus, and a DD2 or DD3. So simple, so loud, and soooo good. The 90s. Such a great time until late-stage Capitalism decided we were having too much fun, not generating enough profit, and with the assistance of the CIA....ever wonder about that heroin "fad" of the 90s? I sure do. After what they did to inner-city communities in the USA in the 80s/early 90s with crack, it wouldn't surprise me if they were partially to blame for the boom in heroin in the 90s that contributed to the downfall of the emerging Indie/Grunge/Alternative scene. But the equipment we used was basic AF yet so inspiring.

[@koenroels4549]

And Paul Davids

[@onenotesolo256]

I think people come to Sasha’s channel for his personality and playing as much as the actual demos. He’s one of those players that sounds the same - always great - through any pedal. Sasha has that dark, lower mids-fat sound with a touch of clean transient, and the lovely mix of major and minor penta noodling, whether he is in front of a Thorpy Dane, Fuzz Face, treble booster or a KoT etc etc. Players like Sasha, Shawn Tubbs and Mike Hermans dial in a tone they like and then do their thing - they are proof that tone is in the fingers but also that you can generally get ‘your’ sound through nearly anything.

[@ampgent]

The JAM Double Dreamer sounds incredible

[@ggus8512]

First of all, thank you so much Mr. Ivantic. Second, your Strat pickups are wonderful. Third, To my ears, I feel the Nordvang and the King of tone are my favorites. A tie. With the Nordvang being more versatile. Fulltone and Protein really close, but the King of Tone and Nordvang somehow managed to get rid of any fizz and also managed to sound almost uncompressed, and keep a bright sound. Simply more pleasant to the ears and less harsh. I could go on and on. Kudos to all of these fine pedals.

[@KaiVermaas]

Loved the Protein! Clear, warm and good vintage vibes

[@pstreetblues]

The VS Audio Royal Flush stood out for me. Had a Browne Protein for a few months then sold it.

Amazing work Sasha. Impressive overall quality. 2 mentions apart the ones I already know for me : ThorpyFX Heavy Water and JAM Pedals Double Dreamer.

I love my Browne Protein!! It's replaced a bunch of drive pedals. Just wished for more EQ options, more mids, etc. But they really did a great job on it!!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Phenomenal job with this. I preferred The Duellist, Unobtainium, and the Volta 1987 - but you could not-go-wrong, with any of them. My favorite Overdrive is the Barber Electronics Gain Changer SR. oNe LovE from NYC

[@trentgardner8257]

One of the most important things we as consumers need in pedal videos: play chords. Blues sounds great, but it doesn't showcase the whole scope of the pedal. Rhythm and lead need to be displayed, IMHO. Just feedback my dude. You're playing sounds great and thanks for show us these pedals.

[@stroopwafel6141]

Thank you for this amazing comparison. Great playing and sounds. Many of these pedals sound great. Wannahaves from this video: The Dane, The Duellist, Double Dreams and The Volta 1987. Currently on my board: RR Fat Drive, Suhr Eclipse and EP Boost.

[@bertvandersanden2008]

as always in these comparison videos we al have our own preferences. For example, I am very impressed with Kasleder's Toxic Twins pedal, This pedal is in KOT territory. But you can't please us all. Great video Sacha, thanks!

[@MikeSingSing]

Great video! One of my favourite and underrated dual overdrives is the T-Rex Moller. Tubescreamer with a seperate boost. What really makes it cool is, that it has a blend knob on the tubescreamer side, which is great if you really want that gainy midpush, but also want to dial in a bit more transparency. bargain on the used market.

[@stanislavmigra]

On another note. The Volta 87, godamn. Now that is pedal, that really sounds and behaves like my actual plexi. Good job Italy

[@DizzyKrissi]

The Silktone's clean sound is amazing.

[@thebenderbunker]

Very nice selection of pedals. My main takeaway from this was how close they all sound to each other. Perhaps more chordal work in the demo would reveal more tonal differences? Thanks for putting this together. Cheers!

[@nedim_guitar]

Definitely! Plus stacked with another overdrive, fuzz and distortion respectively. And of course, played in full band context with two guitars, bass and drums. That would be a big project.

[@SashaIvantic]

And maybe several albums with completely different bands showing the pedals with different genres. Now that's a project.

[@bmoneybby]

Different strings and picks also effect how the pedal reacts, so demo those as well.

[@davidp158]

Impressive review. Did you sell your home to accumulate all these pedals?!? One more dual pedal to consider is the REVV Amplification Tilt Overdrive. It’s the only OD pedal I’ve tried that doesn’t have the midrange “hump” of Tube Screamers. Sooooo many pedals to keep us entertained (and broke), but I believe a skilled player can slay with a simple OD, good amp and playing techniques.

[@Fedgolfer]

I have and love the duelist and barber gain changer. Really love your Protein, Thorpe Dane! Surprisingly KOT didn’t do much for me.

[@waynetoneseekerandersen2213]

There are 18 pedals in this list that I think are far above exceptional. I bet if I owned them all, I would only play two or three and the rest would collect dust. But that is only because I am always searching for the same tones out of my own hands. Wish there was a way to “rent all of them at once for a week. A pedal vacation!

Great video. You did awesome job showcaseing the differences. Like the Fulldrive is nice tight compressed drive, still dynamic but everything is kept in place. Where Royal Flush or Dane where sparkly lowgain, very open sounding, loads of dynamics and jumping up and down depending on pick dynamics. Unobtainiu and Gladio gets the fuzzy cusion around notes, they get dirty, but not compressed. The Nordwang get that hard, sharp distorted tones, etc etc.

Wow..! My ears are tired now 😂 This was fun! I liked the following: - VS Audio Royal Flush had a sweet harmonic top end none of the others had. - Nordvang 83 Drive seems versatile and offered a crisp fuzzy breakup. - Jam Pedals Double Dreamer gave a fat yet transparent bottom end. However, my overall feeling is that most of these drives are unnecessary if you have a good amp and use your volume knob.

[@SebasHoning]

I've currently been rocking an old Hughes & Kettner Tube Factor for over a year now. Lovely thing. The only wish I have is to have a tiny volume boost on the high gain side as the increase of saturation makes it disappear into the mix a bit more. But sound and feel are really nice!

[@jeffdubuque3755]

tube factor is great i own one also.

[@julimateu]

Hey Sasha, do you remember how did you set the internal trim pots of the KOT? Looking at your setting on the yellow side I guess it was as boost and red side as od, since those volume settings are WAY QUITE loud. Nevermind the pedals, your playing is killer. Cheers!

[@SashaIvantic]

Thanks man, I didn’t touch any internal trimmers.

[@mocash97]

For anyone else listening quietly on laptop speakers at work (yes, I know), the good news is they all sound the same, and the main thing is Sasha's excellent playing!

[@SashaIvantic]

Thanks a ton man! Listening to demos they all sound quite similar indeed. The main takeaway which I forgot to mention is you should try it yourself. Every guitar, every amp, every pedal feels different under the fingers. And it's the difference between sounding great or being in the zone. Which is a tiny difference on paper but a huge difference to your own feeling and to an audience. My videos are only here to provide some pointers. Please don't take them as truth. What works for me might not work for you.

[@pauljude]

I watched/listened to the whole video. I'm an avid dirt pedals collector as well and it's funny to me how similar the ace of tone sounded to the K.O.T. , which I hate that I should but the Duelist sounds way better to my ears than it ever did. I love mine. The pedal besides the Duelist I'm probably going to go buy now is the Gladio...that just plain sounded good. Different enough to matter yet still not too dissimilar for what close to perfect tone sounds like. The Duelist is tough to beat though...

So...clarified I trust your advice...now I am back to you for another one 🙂!!!! I have just started with my band mates a new project for a blues gig (only blues with all the great classics...) ...so now I realize I have to buy a very good overdrive as well as a fuzz for the purpose!!! I am currently using a TS9 + a fulltone OCD...but after a couple of rehearsals I am not happy at all! PLEAAASE help me!!!! Some hints: I play mainly with a strat but I would like something very good also for my les paul as well as for my duesenberg startplayer TV... I use a Tone King imperial mkii and/or a Friedman twin sister...And I look for an overdrive that is transparent (possibly a double overdrive?) because I love the tone of my amps!!! And also versatile!!!! good for both amps and for single coils and humbuckers... From this video my feeling would be: Duellist, Nordvang (I see there are diverse Nordvang dual overdrive), Jam pedals, protein, The Dane... maybe I would also need a clean boost on top of a dual overdrive pedal????? ....and what about the fuzz?? in that case I am oriented to the fuzz phrase from jam pedals (apparently excellent for the clean-up tones...). Finally...to add further uncertainty...why not the chase bliss preamp mkii that does everything??? PLEASE help!!! I am lost!!! Cheers, Alessandro

I don't think Sasha can advise you, as they are all very high end pedals and not everyone has the same tastes.

Dual overdrive thats hand built in Hungary and is sold through Thomman or Kasleder directly. Its a vintage spec'd tube screamer into a Blues Breaker like the majority of dual drives these days, but man its insanely good. Its response to touch dynamics are out of this world. The blues breaker side set to edge of breakup is heavenly, and the tube screamer side is the best sounding tube screamer i have ever played, but once again the magic is in its dynamic response. Both sides stack incredibly well even with both channels on full gain, and it can handle any pedal i put before it without farting out. Its my favorite overdrive ive tried. Prefer it over the King Tone The Duellist by a long shot. I hope u get to try it and see for yourself, its a wonderful pedal

The Toxic Twins is amazing. My favorite drive to date. It's definitely a pedal that will always be on my board

Excellent video!! I'm ordering Volta Custom The Blue thanks to your post. And probably, 3-4 others as well. Actually, NO, no thanks..... I'll be broke by time I check out the ones I like. Yeah, thanks for NOTHING. 😉😉 Just kidding.... I liked and subscribed today. I'm hooked on low/med gain OD's.... keep up the good work. 👍🏻👍🏻 Frankie Baby Chicago 😎.............. 🎼🎶🎵🎶

Really liked that 1987 pedal , lots of ways to use that one

[@seanzinger]

Wow seems like a ton of work man! I don’t really care about the pedals, just here for the tasty licks. You sound like you no matter which pedal it is. ❤

[@SashaIvantic]

Thanks a lot!

[@Utubesup7890]

I care Sasha. And I can’t stop buying them. Actually, I bought the quad cortex and I love it. But I still love my amps and for awhile I stopped buying pedals but it got me again. The pedal addiction. Oh no I want the Volta 1987. Help!!!!

[@fabianobe]

great video, thanks! where did you buy that pedal "holder"? is it available somewhere?

[@SashaIvantic]

Thanks man! Hit up Marcus Dluxe on IG or Google him. He makes em in all sizes and colours.

Have you as yet not discovered that bridge pickup on that Strat? Why do you play everything on your neck pickup? Some of us do use our Strat bridge pickups you know. It's actually an acid test of an overdrive pedal its tone when used with the bridge pickup. Would have loved to hear how these pedals sound with the bridge pickup.

Omg thank you. I was wondering what that thing was but now I know.

@@SashaIvantic Hi. Sorry, I indeed was a bit cheeky with my comment there - for which I apologise; I should not have put it like that. I should be grateful that you put the work into the demo. Kindly accept my apologies.

Double dreamer, Nordvang and ami silverbell for me were the best. And of course protein, which is the only one I already have
