The Ultimate Plexi Pedal Blindfold Challenge - 7 Contenders - £40 to £280 Shootout!

[@andertons]

Thanks for tuning in to another "Ultimate Blindfold Challenge"! If you missed the last one where Rabea tries to find his favourite overdrive pedal, check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYiuoKKehKucZqc Make sure to give it a like & subscribe as we've got more Blindfold Challenges on the way! 😉

Com-plex contest

[@mouloudo]

Hey Andertons, a little suggestion for a video, what about a consistency showdown? Let's compare 2 or 3 same models of guitar from different manufacturers to see if there are differences and inconsistencies between them. For example two 50's les pauls, two 57 strats, 2 d35 martin etc. And let's see if you have the guarantee that when you order a certain guitar it sounds as good as any other one from the same batch

[@derekjohnson5720]

These blindfold tests have been a real eye opener. Ive went from having the riverside in my Andertons basket to now having the glove, bb2, tone city chorus and Aviator, 4 pedals and still cheaper than the riverside!!

[@anavolar3253]

[@davidstovall8573]

Watched this video a few times. I noticed this time Pete said concerning the Dirty Little Secret that all pedals should start at 12 o'clock. Wrong again! Howard from Catalinbread set up the eq just like a real Marshall Super Lead and Super Bass. You need to turn up the treble and mids and turn down the bass which Lee never did. Just ask Robin Trower. He dimes the treble and mids and turns the bass all the way off. Pete also said it doesn't sound like a Plexi. Wrong once again. I'm 65 years old and have been playing Marshalls and Fenders all my life since I was a child. The DLS is the most realistic Plexi on this board. You need to dial it in and also adjust the presence inside the pedal. I will say the Glove is awesome for the price. I love Lee and Pete's videos. They are a lot of fun and very entertaining and informative. I think they just should have done some research on these pedals first. They also missed the mark with the JHS Charlie Brown. It's not meant to be as high gain as the rest. It's based an an early 1960's JTM 45 which is much lower gain.

Pete got used to that tint high end sound and when he got to the two best pedal's... IMO... he was well past the sound to find. The Catalinbread, and the JHS are my favorites... and Pete didn't want anything to do with them. Interesting how that turned out. The mid control on the JHS and Cat was the wrench in the gear. Mid's were taking the tone away that was expected and fattening it past the desire.

[@TMmodify]

To me the SL drive is the best of both worlds. It sounds gritty and fat but not too fat

I have to agree, the EHX sounds great! I've got a couple of pretty expensive gain pedals on my board, but also the EHX Soul Food. For a long time I thought I wanted a more expensive Klon type pedal, because.... well, they should be better. But it's still on my board, because I love it. And I bought it for only 55 euro's, power supply included and brand new (that was when they just came out). Apparently EHX just makes some great sounding pedals.

There's some errors in the editing guys, sometimes when you try to blurry the other pedals and leave just one on screen, you blurred all of them, but anyway, we all understand what pedal is being heard and all, great video!

[@robgoodfellow]

Both of these were great. I think an important "tell" to consider tho is to downgrade or A/B amps, to add something like a street ex, because that may have an impact both on greater ear fatigue due to aluminum foil speaker dirt and price point/design relevance. Will a pedal make mud shiny? I was disappointed by the lack of skirt and bright red lip smear on the Danish which was proposed in the 1st video. Thank you for doing this work.

[@PoliteAF]

These ones all sound more different than the non-specific overdrive shootout you did with Rabea and the Blues Driver. Danish Pete apparently thought the same thing I did when that Strymon came on: straight up Hendrix. And that Catalinbread isn't bad. I wanna Doom on it all day.

[@pabcrane]

A suggestion, as a reference it would be great to have a cranked Plexi reissue (attenuated as necessary) which you could switch to-and-fro between the clean amp and see how close the pedals sound to the amp they're trying to sound like, as well as comparing the pedals. Enjoyable video none the less though :)

[@sercastamere9853]

The pedals will get a different amp closish to the plexi sound and will give you a good sound on their own, so live it will do just fine. But as far as getting close to the original? Not even. The original sound is also a 4x12 cab with certain speakers in it and the volume, then put thru mics and attenuated in a sense on the final track balanced with all the other elements of a song. However, if you have a Marsall or similar amp already with these pedals they will perform much better.

18:53 as a "stoner, doomy" kind of player, I just ordered the Catalinbread because of this demo 😁. Also, it's designed to have the same tone stack as a Super Lead, meaning it sounds best with the bass all the way down (the EQ knobs are cut only).

And btw the Charlie Brown is more a Marshall JTM 45 style pedal

[@mariodriessen9740]

@KarzaBarza : I liked that one more than I thought I would. Most Marshall in a box style pedals have waaaaay too much gain. Off course you can dial it back a little, but even then it's too much for me sometimes. Like the Suhr Riot Mini for instance. Even with the distortion off there's too much distortion. I have the Xotic SL Drive and I love it, but I never go further than 4 o clock. And that's for the heaviest parts. Most of the older Marshall amps I played didn't have that much gain, even when cranked.

Great video as always. One thing I really wished you had done was turn down the tone just a bit on the Golden Plexi - whenever Lee turned it on I just wanted to reach through my screen and twist that tone just a tad ha 😄 It's just such a bright pedal, but with the tone turned down a bit (and maybe gain slightly below 9 O' clock for the sake of this video) it sound so much better and way more like an actual Plexi.

[@WillfulThinker]

OMG yes. That was frustrating the hell out of me. I was shouting at my computer screen, "Turn down the f'ing tone and gain on the Golden Plexi!!!" I think they need to be a bit more methodical with these "blind" tests for a proper comparison, so each pedal gets its fair shake. The Golden Plexi has the best punch, but it can be harsh if you don't turn it down!

[@clausmadsen6754]

Impossible task for Pete. Here’s how I might go about it: go through pedals one by one and tune setting to a preferred tonal ideal. And THEN go through pedals one by one to evaluate how they clean up, respond to dynamics, clarity, etc.

[@clausmadsen6754]

AND let Pete have the gig rig, so he can quickly go back and forth

I love this channel, I love this guys, I love this blind comparissons BUT using a Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret with conventional voltage (9V) and maybe (I;m not sure) and without adjusting the internal trimpot to match the amps presence was really really unfair to this pedal.

No Keeley El Dorado, JHS Angry Charly, Victory VX Scheriff or Bogner La Grange ?! Best plexi in a pedal IMO 😉

[@davidburke2132]

They did pick the wrong JHS. The Charlie Brown is aimed at JTM45 Marshall style tones (so no wonder it was lower gain in this company). However the Angry Charlie is usually considered to be more a JCM800 type Marshall sound... so the other side of Plexi in gain terms. I suspect it would have been closer though in this company.

Great shootout! And love the fact the Glove won as it sounds great for such a cheap price that’s why I’ve had one on my board for few years, admittedly you have more control functionally on the Strymon but it’s a huge price difference for a very minimal sound difference. Well done Pete.

You should ask « how much would you pay for or what is the price » after the first try. You will have easily your ranking. It will be funny and easier for the blindfold person to make the rank,

OD market is a scam. All pedals market is a scam. Buy a Boss BD2 and an Ibanez tube screamer and you have them all. You can achieve any OD sound. All we buy is overpriced colored boxes. That’s it.

Not true at all
