The ZZ-Top Dual-Tube Pedal in a Box!

[@JimMorrisonsBathtub]

Came to hear you play some Billy Gibbons style guitar and was not disappointed

[@DMSProduktions]

Why WOULD you be? :o)

[@nickthabit420]

Should be two "Z"s in the pedal name, eh? They missed their chance.

[@jimmyjimmy951]

I will have to make do with stacking a couple of my old Boss pedals given pedal prices are getting plain silly. Sounds good but alas way out of my reach..😢🇦🇺

[@scottreynolds6317]

Shane, that dirty channel sounds freaking amazing!!! Especially with the Two Notes Torpedo!!!!!!! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🎸

[@zd351]

Looks and sounds awesome. A Billy Gibbons type tome is a great starting point for just about any musical style.

[@DMSProduktions]

Rockin' Johno! HNY btw! \m/

[@zd351]

@@DMSProduktions You too mate, hope you are well and have a cracker of a year.

[@DMSProduktions]

@@zd351 Cheers mate! Sorry it took me so long to reply, I had to serve a 24hr ban for 'hate speech'!

[@matthewearl9824]

If you are running as a preamp in to an audio interface and IR, you need to run the pedal through a power amp simulator like the Two Notes Opus or into a tube amp into an attenuator with DI out. Otherwise you are onkly getting preamp gain and not the big bold sound of it pushing a power amp. There is a huge difference in tone. So basically for my portable rig I go pedals into the Magezium then Magnezium into Opus (using power amp of choice and IR of choice) then into the interface. Or..you can disable the CAB IR and is one in you computer. I personally have mine run through an Axe FX chain.

Rockin' pedal this 1 Shane! VERY convincing! Nice 1 Oli! EH! \m/

[@GRBAquatics]

Very Cool, Thankyou. Awesome sounding Pedal and playing as always. All the Best. Cheers

[@hutchfromba]

At a little over halfway through this video, I decided I want it. Awesome sounding pedal. Blues On....💙 I ❤ the sound of this pedal so much that maybe I'll just save up and buy the Magnatone Super Fifty-Nine M-80 1x12 inch 45-watt Tube Combo Amp - Gold

[@MikeLute]

Great review as always!

[@mitchh6702]

Love the review , excellent pedal.

[@droliver]

Sounds good, looks cool but I don't know it's much of an upgrade over any number of drive pedal options at much less $$$

[@michaelyolch79]

SOLD! Hands-down best demo of this pedal on KZbin. Great job, Shane! :)

[@shield400]

Sounds amazing, very dynamic. How would this compare to the The Eliminator from Missing Link Audio?

[@auntjenifer7774]

This sounds almost identical to the legend Rock and roll 50 that ZZ Top used on Eliminator ! I Don't know what the other pedal sounds like but this one's killer in my opinion !

[@charlesfick729]

Maybe it’s me but I personally don’t like so much treble, no fatness

[@snotmale]

sounds like Drive with a Treble Boost

[@Nizodizo]

Sounds like classic rock in a box.

[@michelvondenhoff9673]

Have BG microphone for my vocoder, does that count? 😅

[@Mr.D34]

I don't know if it has anything to do with your sound or studio Shane but it sounds way too bright. Magnatone amps, especially the ones that Billy Gibbons use have a darker tone. Also it should have had a vibrato as well. Magnatone amps are famous for their vibrato. The pedal sounds good but i wouldn't call it a Magnatone in-a-box. It sounds like most of the Marshall based pedals out there.

[@flybywire7284]

I agree. I owned his Orange pedal and it was horribly bright and incredibly fizzy (nothing like my old Rockerverb MkII or MkIII) with a terrible, near unusable tone stack. The tone stack was also nothing like an Orange or a Vox. Scooped and harsh for days but if you increased the midrange it reduced the treble and was dull as a plank of wood. There was simply no ability to tune it in and it sounded awful. I sold it. It looked beautiful and that was it. This is not being mean but simply what I think: I believe Ollie has killer engineering chops but his ears are shot. He needs to get someone else to tune his EQ and tones.

[@intheblues]

If you want to dial out the tops you can. It will also depend on your amp, EQ, and recording setup. I prefer a brighter tone over a darker sound.

[@mikehughes2183]

So the Magnatone Super 59 is based on the Marshall 1959 Plexi. What's not to like, sounds great! Well worth it for the money I think.

[@cgage5467]

Just got one based on your review. Thanks as always for your excellent demos.

[@intheblues]

Awesome you’re going to dig it! Thanks for the kind words 😊👍

[@toddashley407]

There is something magical about Bluesbreaker type pedals (essentially what this is) into Fender amps - to the point that if you have a Fender amp and no Bluesbreaker/Gov'ner pedal of some type "you are doing wrong".

[@57ebartley]

Now wasn’t ZZ tops sound born from Marshall amps? Ive Watched several rig rundowns in the last few years on them. Billy might like the tone of the Magnatone now but it wasn’t where all that famous music of ZZ Top Originated from.

[@shanewalton8888]

Not the pedal for me, but I can see why some like it. Great jamming as always, Shane!

[@markredsicker9392]

The flying V sounds killer too!!! Question though: Is this a preamp/pedal? Can be run direct?

[@cherokee5941]

Sounds great and quite versatile

[@CZPavel-c1p]

Amazing effect with beautiful sound. Thank you for the video and greetings. Pavel CZ.👍👍👍

[@idanshahar]

This pedal sounds amazing! This video has a very special guitar tone that you don't hear in a lot of guitar videos.

[@BoomerLicks]

$335……….pass

[@a.d.5649]

New overdrive pedal comes out. All KZbin pedal influencers: “ZZ Top in a box!”

[@shayh.3556]

Kinda is though

[@jeffoefelein2812]

Sounds amazing....

[@davidsisto7694]

Great review and very versatile pedal. Tubesteader makes great pedals and the quality is tops!

[@dylanpardon9723]

Great playing Shane! you really captured the vibe and spirit of this pedal!

[@BlurredOutBoy]

my daily dose of Oz. always great. keep it up.

[@keithh8661]

Good to see the V, I bought one last year it was 1,999 now it's 2,499, I guess everything is going up, thanks Shane 😊

[@kingarthur1776]

I bought one brand new in 1980...$600 with case..lol

[@DennisJPolson]

Very nice playing and demo, Shane!

[@chrispaskell8344]

Sounds like the Reverend.

[@hutchfromba]
