Friends, let me tell you about one of my favorite pedal releases of the year: the Rude Tech Falcondrive makes a statement both visually and sonically, and it's earned a spot on my board thanks to its ability to blend between to flavors of dirt. On one side is an Overdrive, with a distortion on the other, with the Blend knob allowing you to mix between the two. I can't say enough nice things about this pedal, so I'll let the video and sound clips do the talking.

Whoops, I forgot to mention it comes with a crystal

“And if we die Before the battle's through Tell your mom, tell your dad We were super rad!”

[@martianmurray]

Puisheeeeeen. Just ordered a jag so I’ve been binging ya more.

[@firesailstudios1003]

Bits of the opening riff give me Radiohead optimistic vibes. Nice!

[@sandormagyar6646]

Mike, another great Vid! Love your playing. You inspired me to get a Jazzmaster. I got a 2007 AVRI in surf green on the way!

[@Puisheen]

What a great color choice!!!!

[@隠れた]

That jag is soo perfect.. I always wanted a mis-matched headstock and body jag, And I always loved the pickups from the 12, also the body color is perfect… wow man what a piece

[@thisoneisonme]

So freaking RAD you made the demo of this pedal. Absolutely in love. Edit: also you have the absolute best clean tone for a pedal demo. Seriously don't know how many pedal demos start off with horrible clean tones, which you know is coloring the sound of the pedal. Thanks for being awesome.

[@rude_tech]

SUPER rad ;)

[@PedalPlayhouse]

This really sounds great Mike! I’m sorry you had to film it twice but I can totally understand the need to coming from the position of if you don’t like the way it sounds then it will haunt you with regret if you’re unhappy.. I am you did find a sound at home that made you have fun and make some great music in this demo ❤️ I love the range of this distortion

[@pablorojas938]

Your videos are awesome and super educational! Please make one on common jazzmaster wiring mods. PLEASEEEE

[@ianwfowles]

🙏🙏🔥🔥 Thanks Mike!

[@Puisheen]

Ian you are the king!!!!

[@kdakan]

I like your playing a lot.

[@musicmann1967]

Sounds great. I love it. Although there is no doubt that your sparkle Jag is a big part of what I like in the tone. Beautiful sounding guitar!

[@giuseppezotta1625]

have you ever tryed Palisades V2 EARTHQUAKER DEVICES ?

[@Robert-ze4hd]

That thing sounds killer! Also, that Amp patch sounds great clean too. I need to go figure it out on my Stomp!

[@therewasascene]

Intro was fantastic. Great use of this pedal’s tones - love the fuzziness and the clean tone when rolled off. You really make me want a jazzmaster

[@rude_tech]

Man, this demo is so good I'm here a week later still vibing out to it lol

[@razielquiroz6610]

Man please! review Troy Van Leeuwen's Jazzmaster 65.

[@thecappy]

Great pedal! Replaced my two Japanese Boss pedals. A little kick to the ds2 side into a hizumitas is fuzzy greatness.

[@lavieillefermesomptoise6522]

hello. I'm a big fan of offset guitars and especially Jaguars (I have a Jagcaster). I am a little French guitarist and a history teacher in France. do you have an album? I heard "laika" on one of the vidéo.

[@capitaldharma]

You know was was SUPER RAD?! That 90s emo/punk jam you did at the beginning. I wish you would talk more about your playing, because it F-ing rips and I'm always watching your riffs and chord choices for ideas.

[@snoooozer]

Was it a take on Radiohead Optimistic?

[@capitaldharma]

@@snoooozer Yes, it totally is!

[@Puisheen]

Unintentionally, yes!

[@CFChristian]

Gave me a Shiner/Allen Epley vibe.

[@hotrod54chevy]

I've been trying to place it every since this video came out, but I finally realized it: the riff OPM does when the blend is rolled down sounds like the distorted guitar in Teenage Dirtbag. 🤯

[@rileywood3670]

Your my favourite youtuber and one of the best guitarists

[@Puisheen]

Unbelievably kind! Thank you!

[@esimms1889]

Just what I never knew I needed: another pedal LOL! Jason and Tia from Working Class Music need to get ahold of one(maybe Jason can get inside your head again with another riff). And yes, it Dad rocks!

[@Aniki82]

Can't get enough of your Vibe and sound !! Always a bliss to see your videos ! ^^ Thanks a lot !

[@waylonlonga]

beginning was a cool twist on optimistic (and maybe reckoner) by radiohead

[@joeferris5086]

Hey man. I wanted to say thanks for all your JM/Jag shim / break angle content. I learned alot and it enabled me to get my jaguar set up perfectly. Which, after some experimentation, i discovered was without a shim being that it as an angled neck pocket. Great videos, offset content unrivaled.

[@ecantalk]

Sees the Sparta shirt. Smiles in Mr. Miyagi’s nod of pride. Keep it up, Mike!

[@AndrewStottisTheIndiWerWlf]

Big fish eat the little ones. Big fish eat the little ones. Not my problem give me some.

[@CasaDeJoker]

Hey dude! Excellent review on a cool sounding and looking pedal but WHERE CAN i get a Jaguar in THAT Sparkle mineral green/ antiqued vintage silver metal flake paint? Ifk what u want to call it it’s beautiful!!!! 60cyclehum had a Jagstang painted gold flake like a lowrider and it looks otherworldly!!! Forget the original colors Im ALL ABOUT candy paint!!! Tell me about this one please 🙏. Also, happy halloween 🎃 🎸

[@Puisheen]

That's a body from Guitar Mill!

[@nickd6236]

Would love to see a review on a Fender or Squier Toronado.

[@RS2KR]

Purple? Bound? Jazzmaster? Yes please!

[@goodbyedelete1]

Any chance of getting one of these to the UK?

[@JokersSmile82]

Sounds killer

[@taki1838]

[@mattfrancis8476]

Killer vid and playing. Sounds great!

[@octave-up-up-up]

Was that... _Teenage Dirtbag_ at 4:24??

[@jackgreenwood1817]

I heard that little bit of the riff too!

[@Puisheen]

lmao that's what it is

[@octave-up-up-up]

@@Puisheen _i got 2 tickets to see Wayne Brady, baaaabyyyy_

[@offsetb]

You're awesome Mike!

[@user-dz8wc9sr5i]

Hey I was wondering if you could do a video/review of the American Performer mustang trem. It's hard to even find close up pics of it and they've made some significant changes to the dynamic vibrato that seem like big improvements (a true two point fulcrum for one). I'm very curious if it's fixed some of the typical stang trem issues

[@telecasterbear]

Good one Mike. I have never been much of a pedal guy, but this unit has a wide spread of goodness. Have a great week, eh?

[@liamtahaney713]

wow that opening is epic. original riff? also, do you think you could post HX presets for sale or download somewhere please yours sound fantastic

[@TheAudioDen]

So it's a modified Boss OS-2? Always thought that was a neat idea but never liked the sound of it. This one seems to get it right.

[@itsmikee1994]

Is the first song a Radiohead one? It sounds familiar, I just can't quite place it

[@Puisheen]

It does sound familiar but I also can’t quite place it. I heard Jason from WCM playing something similar at Guitar House and it must have worked its way into my mind.

[@doeeyetwin6102]

@@Puisheen the verse in Optimistic.

[@davidlewis8814]

Ha ha! That grin at the end gets you three seconds more hug when I see you next! Ha ha ha haaa!!!

[@taylormoon3561]

I like the idea of the blend, but I still just don’t like those circuits’ sounds. But I always enjoy your playing so much.

[@Puisheen]

Totally fair, Taylor!

[@cactus-mcjacktus]

i’m glad i decided to grab a Jag, that guitar is gorgeous.

[@alextuozzo7138]

THAT SHOW WAS REAL I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FEVER DREAM

[@eriksantana7249]

I like that soda cup volume pedal!

[@mattdoliver1984]

How can we get one? Great as always 👌🏼

[@El-Scorcho]

Sorry you didn't like the 5150 amp 🤭

[@Puisheen]

That wasn't the amp
