THE DUELLIST - DUAL OVERDRIVE PEDAL

[@kevinp_25]

Ain’t no pedal gonna give me those chops. Holy wow.

[@lolobuggah2670]

Very SRV inspired.

[@MOAB-UT]

It helps though because you actually hear it a lot more and that is half the battle. Gear does actually matter.

[@monrodeo100]

For SRV vibe this is by far the best pedal video on KZbin, excellent demo. Just brilliant 😎

[@RandyWillcox]

My Duellist just arrived and I plugged it in...HOLY SHIT!! It really sounds like this! You, Sir, are a genius! 🙌🏻

[@gitarbangsatchanel8036]

Sound like this?? What amp you use?

[@MOAB-UT]

Do you still love it Randy? I am between this and the OriginEffects RevelDRIVE. Leaning towards this one though V2 looks very cool too.

[@JakuarMusic]

Such a monster pedal. Can't wait to get one, and thank you for paving a way for tone chasing!

[@ericcartman8354]

Jesse, Iv’e had just about every popular or boutique pedal made, spent thousands of dollars on pedals and very few are keepers but I finally got a Duellist and Im completely blown away! This is by far the best pedal I have ever used! I can do sweet blues on the string singer side and Hendrix on the heavy hand side and not need a fuzz on with it. This pedal is just badass! no BS, I really love it! Thanks bro! and for anybody whos wondering, Im playing through a Princeton, not a marshall or tweed bassman, just a princeton

[@mrmatthew2443]

Pretty sure Jesse is playing through a fender tube amp here.. watts aren’t really relevant unless you were using a champ ., and even a vintage all tube champ would get these tones

[@BlackDotPatrick]

Best pedal I have ever heard on KZbin. Got one. It's pretty dang cool. Very flexible yet simple at same time. You gotta be able to play this style already or you might be disappointed. It won't turn you into SRV if you can't already play that way. Obviously no pedal can.

[@lending99]

I have one of these and it’s ridiculous!! So so dynamic and rich, it’s tough to beat. Great job

[@Stillwaters-t6b]

this is exactly how I want a pedal demo to go, thanks!

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

I own this pedal, and it sounds so amazing it’s beyond words. If I could only keep one pedal, this would be it.

[@MrPiperian]

Rhett Shull said a Dumble had a 3D sound...this pedal has that. Amazing.

[@BrandonScottSellner]

Man, you really nail that Life Without You tone. The 85 era of Stevie’s tone was my favorite and this really has that sound.

Yes! I have one as well. Was lucky enough to snag #2. From what Jesse said King Zapata from Gary Clark Jr.'s band has #1 .... Really great pedal and tons of options as shown in the video.... Enjoy your Duellist! : )

[@Stillwaters-t6b]

My regret is palpable.

[@jerrymartinez2160]

Your comment literally planted the seed to buy this pedal. and I tried ignoring it for months. Eventually, I caved and bought it. Thank you😂

[@LysanderLH]

I watched this after being well advised by Scott at Peach Guitars to buy one online, to go with a new Tele and Deluxe Reverb Tonemaster. Most of my gear was stolen and I sold most of the rest... long story. This will be replacing some gear I bought years ago and was never entirely happy with, so every cloud :). Having watched this, I now cannot wait for the DHL delivery to arrive and to plug this thing of joy in. My mojo needs it!

Nice playing Jesse and killer pedal.

[@DoktorDamage]

Nice SRV tones bro !!!

[@notebender5073]

Okay, well. Hmm. I bought this in hopes to replace my trusty old 808 Tube Screamer on my board. My repertoire consists of a wide variety of music, from classic rock, country, to blues. Of course like many I love my SRV. So I have a couple of other overdrives as well as a fuzz on my board to cover the spectrum. One of which is the legendary green box that blends so well when stacking with another overdrive/fuzz, or pushing the front end of the amp for that extra bit of sauce. The Duelist did not blend as well as the Tube Screamer, but rather worked out better as a stand alone. Keep in mind that the type of amp and settings are going to have a great deal to do with how this works out. There is no one shot arrow that achieves that SRV tone that everyone salivates over. This gets you somewhat close, but it's very pricey. I chose to keep it and use mine as a stand alone od, but the good old Tube Screamer stays. You will enjoy this pedal if you're trying to get closer to the SRV/Texas tone. I find that is it's best use. For what it cost, well, I expected more honestly. Of course it's all a matter of opinion when it comes to tone.

[@waverider689]

I think the guy in this vid is wrong about it bening based on a tube screamer. I think Its concept is to resemble a Dumble Steel String Singer. You know that 100k$ amp SRV used made by Alexander Dumble. Hints the name String Singer

[@martino250570]

Well considering the guy in the vid is the guy who actually created this pedal, I’d say he’s probably right.

[@SeanGibsonNoiseReel]

Great sounding drive, man!

[@reddsflies]

Got mine a couple days ago the newest version . Sounds incredible in my super sonic 22 and my super. Reverb. Love the glass switch with my super sonic cause that amp has no bright switch . But I get that with this pedal.

[@billmiddleton4133]

Hey brother. I just ordered your Duellest pedal. I saw Joey Landreth using it and I loved the tone he was getting. Can’t wait to put it on my board. Looking forward to checking out some of your other pedals.

[@billmiddleton4133]

This pedal is amazing! I play in a cover band playing newer country with some classic rock mixed in and this pedal is freaking amazing.. It’s like everything tone wise I’ve been searching for in one pedal. I play a strat, Tele, and slide on a es-335 and this pedal nails every sound on every one of my guitars. Love it. I’m looking forward to checking out your other pedals.. Thanks.

Kind of pricy, I’ll have to wait. It does sound great in this demo, but how’s it sound with him buckets?

[@itsmark72]

You asked my question. I'm a Les Paul guy, and also NOT a blues rock guy (more of a punk and roll and Yacht Rock guy) so I'm curious about the sound through humbuckers.

[@charlesfick729]

Hum buckers....darn phone

[@notebender5073]

I have used this pedal now for about two years. I have found it useful, for more than one thing by adusting it various ways. There's is a Dumblesk sound coming from the TS side. Likely due to the glass setting. It's very important to note that in this video. Jesse's clean tone sounds like a blackface that's pushed to the edge of breakup. This comes to play in how this sounds in this video. A perfectly clean tone will sound a considerably different. Maybe no the best representation of the true pedal sound through a pure clean amp. The only compaint I have is that when using both sides at once it does become very hissy/noisy.

The fact that there are no clones of this pedal is a testament you you, Jesse. That every outlet for pcbs and kits dont want to release one of these speaks volumes to the greater opinion of you as a human, or player or enterprise. Every other popular pedal is cloned, you remain unmolested.

Hello Jessy. My Duelist pedal arrived today. I have tested it all day through my Two-Rock Traditional Clean with matching cabinet and a Fender Custom shop strat. I can't get a good sound out of the pedal. Nothing that sounds like in this video. I copied your settings from the video. The sound is horrible. The Two-Rock sounds very full and sparkly and open. As soon I engage this pedal, it's like a wet towel is put over my cabinet. All bass is gone, tons of boxy mids, no chimey treble. I've tried everything. My friend who is a professional guitar player can't get a decent sound out of it. Could the pedal be defective? Am I missing something, or does the pedal hate Two-Rock amps?
