Do NOT sleep on this Analog Tremolo and Reverb Pedal | Crazy Tube Circuits White Whale V2

[@sassycat]

I am interested in acquiring one, you expertly demonstrated the pedal, well done!

[@fatherno5721]

Andy bro...keeep it turned on! most progress i have seen in any player mate, just an honest man here!

[@saarangnarayan123]

Always loved the aesthetics of the White Whale V1. Love the sounds on the V2!

[@fatherno5721]

WOW Andy your presentation, ability and production is ...... paraProfessional! Beyond my wildest expectations mate. unFuckingBeleiveably good mate. looking forward to future productions.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thank you

[@andyrharris]

I didn’t guess which was which, but my order of preference was A, C then B and I had a feeling B was the Strymon.

[@BingsBuddery]

Definitely liked the sound of the White Whale best in the blindfold test.. has nicer depth and clarity to it.

[@MrMont-ue8kh]

Thanks - I always enjoy your videos, partly for the info, partly for your crazy but understated British sense of humor (I'm a Yank.) But the cat growl made me laugh out loud. Made my morning!

[@davepatterson4774]

Yep. Andy, your videos are just plain fun! Informative, yes, but entertaining as well. Thank you, sir.

[@bradshannon862]

I love it! It's a fantastic sweet sound. My Slo pedal is just weird dreams and nightmares in a one hour nap you can't escape.

[@KoaCharvel]

Sounds great, and I even love the color!

[@waynedoherty7758]

Preference was : A > C > B

[@thunderbirdcalls]

Hello from the United States, love the channel!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by

[@thunderbirdcalls]

@@TheGuitarGeek I was wondering if you had tried any of the Ibanez Gio series with purple heart fretboards? What advice do you have for someone looking for a fretboard that both plays quickly and isn't COMPLETELY lacking any sort of real feel. I hope that makes sense? Take care, thanks for the content!

[@Robstafarian]

@@thunderbirdcalls Sorry, what do you mean by "real feel"?

[@geraldkeating7997]

I was really wanting to test myself to find out if I could pick the amplifier and I did so I am happy.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Congrats!

[@edwinhurwitz6792]

I was able to tell the difference between the three immediately through my laptop speakers correctly and without hesitation. The Strymon was clearly a digital device. The WW sounded much more open and clear. It might be a great partner with my '67 Showman that has no reverb.

[@duarteestelita7257]

Good video man. Specially fun, and informative, as per usual. Ah! And you kept the Jet offset ! Hehe Good on you. If that guitar had a carved/contoured neck heel, i would've bought it, a year ago. PS: i really like A / B sound comparisons.. Despite the KZbin compression, one learns a lot.

[@The..Butterfly..Effect]

Great sound

[@robertanderson36]

Definitely sounds great and “amp like “ Can’t help thinking that it’s the sort of quality difference that the average punter listening would not notice . I already have a Flint and I do notice some deficits in clarity of the sounds Priced similarly in Australia Of the three the amp appealed to me the most.

[@kadinnui2282]

Can anybody tell what is the song Andy plays at 9:58 ? Also I am quite sure it's A - wild tubes; B - Flint; C - Fender, let's see if I got it right!

[@darwinsaye]

I thought they all sounded good, but what I found interesting was that the digital Strymon, out of the three, sounded the most “uncontrolled”… like it was on the verge of runaway feedback. Now I don’t know if it was just louder, so the hollowness of the guitar was feeding back, or whether the Flynt reverb is prominent in certain frequencies that made the guitar want to feedback, or if it is an entirely digitally modeled part of the sound built into the effect. But it was interesting.

[@Paul-D]

Wow Andy that is actually 10x better then i thought it would be when i clicked the vid haha

[@Robstafarian]

Only a true guitar geek would compare the tones of crashing reverb tanks.❤

[@robertdonosobuchner3129]

Really nice sounds!

[@AsarlaiK]

I mixed up the flint and the white whale. My guessing was based on noise floor and not tone. Surprised the white whale noise floor was lower than the Flint. All sounded great IMHO.

[@ThefabulousJF]

I actually prefered the Strymon 🙃 but Fender and Whale are closer in sound. Well done!

[@gevork2458]

B's reverb had a similar openness of C, but sounded digital to me (both the reverb and tremolo). The tremolo sounded very identical with A and C. The only difference it seems was the openness of the reverb on C which was a bit better. Can the reverb on the White Whale be adjusted to sound more open like the Fender amp? I can't tell if it's because of the spring size difference or knob settings. Thanks for the review and comparison!

[@beatjuggernauts]

At 9:50, I literally was hoping you would do "How Soon Is Now? Thank you.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

You are most welcome

[@matt6l6]

@TheGuitarGeek what is that cool es 330 looking hollow body?

[@stephenkeen6044]

I thought A was the White Whale, B the Fender amp and C the Strymon. So I got it wrong, but regardless, *in my opinion the White Whale still sounded the best out of the three,* with the actual Fender coming a close second and the Strymon a distant last. Which surprised me a little as I generally love Strymon pedals.

[@derekhand7904]

Right when I was about to buy a flint looks like I have a lot to think about

[@andrewmoran357]

I have the topanga and the solid fx surfer 4 both different but great the white whale sounds ok as well but i prefer the ones i have, I did not like the tremolo on it at all, I use the boss tr2 keeley and a source audio Vertigo for that

[@wideyxyz2271]

Another top review ❤

[@Longplay_Games]

I didn't pause, but I was surprised by how much difference there was actually. That whale sounds really cool, and I'm curious now what it would sound like with a bass :D

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thanks got being honest. It’s on the bass on the backing track.

[@natashanyxx9486]

Lots of fun!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Hi Natasha! Yes what a box of fun this is

[@laurents6544]

Nice review, someone know what is the guitar use for the test A, B and C ? The hollow body with the p90 ?

[@meinvornamemeinnachname715]

... by the way I use a Crazy Tube Circuits SPLASH MK3 STEREO REVERB and sold all others which I once have had.

[@howardmaryon]

When you bent over the Fender and hit it to crash the reverb I had visions of a loud bang and a cloud of acrid smoke...

[@TheGuitarGeek]

😂😂😂 I don’t think these things through to be honest

[@esatnik]

I didn't comment until the end of the video but I have a 1966 Super Reverb and I thought the Strymon was the real one.

[@einerreklov4304]

I got the middle one right. Had that 60s/70s sound like Hurdy Gurdy Man and even (maybe?) Baba O'Riley.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

1 out of 3 is pretty good

[@einerreklov4304]

@@TheGuitarGeek Well, kind of, sort of. Thanks tho!

[@meinvornamemeinnachname715]

I didn´t expect that at all. I prefered the sound of B. 2nd place for C and the last place for A because in my ears it sounds some kind of synthetic. I´m sorry.

[@urboltz]

PAUSE BEFORE ANSWER: A) White Whale B) Fender Deluxe Reverb C) Strymon Flint

[@SamBrockmann]

If money is no object, I would choose the White Whale V2.

[@peterhall4852]

I got the 1,2,3 bit correct ,but then you said , A,B,C.. I thought the amp reverb was a little richer.

[@Robstafarian]

Interestingly, I got A right before I stopped caring and enjoyed the tones.

[@TheSizzlingBadger]

I though A was the Flint, my favourite was B though !

[@thesjkexperience]

If you kick it will it WIPEOUT?

[@Mikey__R]

Putting a spring reverb into a pedal you're going to kick around the stage sounds like trouble to me.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Nahhh. You’d have to REALLY kick it to have a problem.

[@paulvigos115]

in hearing order FENDER ....WHALE...FLINT

[@Flaseflag911insidejob]

Well it was obvious that the digital was 2 .. I am surprised it was so easy to spot.

[@kadinnui2282]

I know right? I was picking up some weird sounds that I wouldn't expect from an analog pedal or from an amp.

[@arottie4097]

W0W!

[@fatherno5721]

WOW Andy bro you actually played guitar and within the first 30 seconds with artistic capacitance!!!! Bro what happend to you? Henning gave you some lessons or you just finally found yourself musically? Not fucking with you mate just noticed the JUMP in musical ability and i fukin love it!!! Having a double for you mate cuz JeBuz and Jim Beam loves you mate(and i love you too but not in a GHeeey way) Keep up the good work bro!!!! P.S. WOW the James bond guitar and the surf guitar blew my mind while watcing this vid!!! Andy you are the MAN!!!

[@derekhand7904]

A. Fender B. Flint C. White whale

[@LewWelchThePoet]

🤘👍🏿

[@KipCount]

My guess. A- Flint, B- White Whale, C- Fender

[@KipCount]

1 outta 3 ain't bad. lol. I liked B the least and just assumed it was the White Whale cause I wasn't digging the trem in the demo. The Amp was pretty unmistakable, or maybe I just got lucky!

[@dirtmelchizedek8311]

I literally got all of them wrong. Fender, Whale, Strymon 😂

[@TomTobin67]

The presenter in these videos resembles the guitar player from Culture Club Roy Hay. Separated at birth? They should do a video together.

[@onefatstratcat]

If it will fix my back I'll sleep on it :)

[@TheGuitarGeek]

If it does, I’ll get a second one

[@Zeinzu2]

(PAUSED) A Fender. B Stymon. C White Whale. (Edit: UNPAUSED) dang it.....

[@URTH-yb5xh]

Sorry I heard a demo of this Don’t think Strymon should lose any sleep
