How long have you been playing guitar? Especially David Gilmour's material?

[@anup_pinkfloydian]

So buddy. I'm planning to buy a TD but would mostly be used while playing in bedroom however I'm a bit confused between TD & past fx but I'm fascinated with the sound of the TD.. what's your take?

[@mustyguitar]

​@@anup_pinkfloydian not this but next sunday I'll share a video about 5 different gilmour type overdrives where I play 10 different song for each pedal. You'd love that

[@coolmacatrain9434]

Remember, volume plays a _Huge_ part in any live Guitar sound produced by Guitarists such as Gilmour, Young, SRV, Moore, May, Blackmore, Scholz et al. They also record their studio albums with their Amps pushed to produce natural overdrive/distortion --- they are then able to add pedals to taste. Whereas home/bedroom guitarists have their Amps turned down and are over doing the amount of effect/pedal they are adding to the sound.

[@AlainBenoit-s8h]

spot on !!! ... few players know the saturation sweet spot on their tube amps ... use a bleed to lower the volume but not the juice !!! you can play quite low and still get amazing tone

[@armandoenrique6285]

Duuuude yes it’s crazy how much of a difference adding amplitude to the sound wave does for the texture you can tell when it’s closed or open on the volume

[@alessiocalvi]

I think the real sound is in your hands Bro! Every pedal you try seems to be awesone

The Cornish G2 is a big muff with germanium clipping diodes and a low pass filter as a tone control

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

PastFX are overlooked and underrated, they do AWESOME stuff. I own a Fox Phase, and had it shipped all the way from australia - and it’s so great, warmm sweet and authentic - their recreations are next level stuff.

[@low3603]

I'm really enjoying these videos, you do an awesome job covering Davids tones. I'm wanting to buy one of these Past FX pedals, if you could choose only one would you get the Revolution or the Patriarch? I favour the Gadansk and Pompeii tones and don't have a dedicated muff pedal. I do have an overdrive (BD2). Thank you again for all your hard work!!

[@mustyguitar]

that is a tough one, I'd buy patriarch because it can cover from 1977 to present, but still, they both different types of pedals. revolution can cover different types of tones that I love, patriarch can cover big muff tones. ps. on second thought, I think I'd get patriarch first and get a loan and buy revolution second the next day

[@low3603]

Hello from Scotland. Great sounding pedal. Seems to come alive with the EMG's. I bought the TD-Y at the end of last year. Killer sounding too. Past FX were also a pleasure to deal with, not many companies are like that these days. How about making a video with both the TD-Y and the Revolution with the EMG strat.

that is an idea which I'm very fond of right now.

@@mustyguitar thanks for the reply :) Respect and love from Israel

[@joejones7674]

People saying in the comments that something is missing. That’s because when Pete Cornish altered the G2s muff circuit the outcome was a sound that lacked depth and was much milder than his earlier p1/p2 counterparts. That’s why gilmour always blended the G2 with the bk butler. ( G2 after BK) Not as a volume boost but as a way of eq ing the G2 for a more pleasing tone. And to be honest although he had the G2 on his board for a while there’s not much recorded evidence that he used one as often as many people seem to think.

[@guitardave]

“not sponsored or paid promotion” - they literally sent you the pedal for free to demo for them! Great video though, I like what PastFX do.

[@mustyguitar]

I am very, VERY, careful with my words: www.linkpicture.com/q/Ekran-Resmi-2023-05-15-12.04.33.png they sent it as a gift. everything in this video is MY opinion and it was my idea to make a g-2 sound video.

@@mustyguitar “Sponsorships are pieces of content that have been financed in whole or in part by a third party.”. This would include “gifts”. It’s no big deal, just tick the paid promotion box in your settings.

[@mustyguitar]

@@guitardave I don’t agree with you one bit, but I understand your point. Though, I didn’t say buy this pedal, I didn’t say this pedal is better than any other pedal, I didn’t compare anything. This is just a video about me using a pedal that’s gifted to me for people who have this pedal or considering to buy. I don’t know why “gift” is bothering. I’m not “promoting” anything here, just giving out free information and I’m doing it on KZbin for free, this video is demonetized too :) so nothing is financed here, I even paid the tax for this pedal when it shipped to Istanbul

[@mustyguitar]

you know, I saw the pedal at a pawn shop type store the other day, it made me think it looks so cool. but even the word "vox" just creeps me out, no disrespect to Vox brand or anything but the sound from vox pedals or amps are not my type. I don't even like Queen or The Beatles. shame on me.

[@mustyguitar]

@@aerialpictures_drone_videos I should make myself clear, I think vox is a great brand, I'm pretty sure there are really good Gilmour type tones on vox amps and pedals. so I'm not even a professional musician to criticize a 50+ year working company :) If you're happy with the sound, that's great! now I am intrigued to try the pedal man...

What would you recommend for The Wall-Final Cut era, Pastfx's Patriarch or Revolution?

[@laurentperez5229]

@@geoffreymerrifield5666 The Wall is very known for this Big Muff Ram’s head tone, that cut the mix perfectly. The patriarch is based on Civil War Big Muff and not the tone you ear on the Wall. The Revolution is based on Cornish G-2, that is much closer to me but not really the good one. Check P-19 from Skreddy or Vick Audio RH73 or EHX Ram’s Head reissue. What amp do you use?

[@Thestripper1]

You are getting some audio clipping in some of your videos. Not sure what the source is but it's certainly there. Thanks for all your good videos.

[@mustyguitar]

Yeah I realize myself too sometimes. Old musty is really lazy

[@chrisradzion2148]

Great stuff. Love the Daphne Blue Strat, BTW. I have a Vick Audio V2. I always thought the G2 sounded like a mash up of a Muff, a TD (particularly it’s Marshall-y character), and a RAT. The V2 sounds like a bit of the the TD and Muff, less like the RAT, and has some differences in the circuit (no germanium, and it’s only buffered when engaged). It does a great job of capturing much of the G2 character, though the Past FX may be slightly better.

[@mustyguitar]

thank you!

[@mattgilbert7347]

I use a V2 as well. It's like a low-gain Muff with some RAT in there as well. It uses silicon and is probably based on an old, inaccurate schematic that did the rounds on DIY pedal forums back in the day. It certainly doesn't sound bad! It's actually my favorite distortion pedal for the Laney Cub12R. Fave overdrive Jetter Traindrive & the V2 work so well together. Australian builder Devtech make a G2 type called "Custom Muff" which I own, but this PastFX sounds *much* closer to Gilmour's G2 tones. Custom Muff is a great modified Muff.

[@chrisradzion2148]

@@mattgilbert7347 the V2 is a great pedal, but it’s way more Muff than Rat. I think the buffers and germanium parts are the difference (and on the official website, it says they were deliberate). I like mine,though I think it’s best alone rather than stacked (in my personal experience). You can get Gilmour tones out of it, even G2 tones, but I have a feeling the Top Tone DG2 or the Past FX (Buffalo FX) clones are probably closer to the real deal from what I’ve read. Unfortunately, both are hard to get where I am. I’m also pretty sure Vick Audio isn’t making the V2 anymore, which makes me happy I grabbed one when I did. He also makes/used to make a ColorSound PowerBoost clone that was pretty spot on with the original. Of all the Gilmour pedals, the one I’ve found that you can’t fully substitute is the PowerBoost. The BD2 is great, so is the EHX Hot Tubes/Hot Wax… but there’s something about that one I haven’t found a substitute for, outside legit clones. Especially for the rhythms on “DSOTM”, and basically all of “WYWH”.

[@mattgilbert7347]

I believe that the delay used on the live versions of "Echoes" during the "funky section" or as I call it "3rd Movement" (Because I'm a pretentious sod) was a T-Rex Replica. I know he debuted the pedal at Royal Albert Hall mid-2000s when it came out. My favourite simple digital delay. It just works perfectly, never gets in your way. The PastFX pedal + my Replica would be a dream! Then all I need are 6 HiWatt DR103s..

[@Lander-bo2rq]

I have two things to ask. What is your opinion on the triangle big muff. Secondly could you do the live gilmour version of astronomy domine (not gdansk) but all things being said that pedal is definitely gonna find a way into my pedal board

[@mustyguitar]

I've tried triangle big muff reissue and was just about to buy just for live at pompeii type earlier tones, but store said they were out of stock and the one I'm using was already sold, then I forgot about it. second, I don't listen anything before atom heart mother, I may make a PULSE cover of the song eventually though.

[@marekbilek1703]

[@mustyguitar]

[@derekwharton5659]

Where did you place this pedal in your chain?

[@mustyguitar]

that is just a perfect question Derek. it's right after fuzz pedals and right before overdrive pedals. I like to have dirtier pedals up front and cleaner ones after. But honestly, if you're not pairing pedals, you can put gain pedals as desired (of course, follow the logical signal chain, I'm talking between gain pedals.)

[@mustyguitar]

I've contacted Vick Audio for dealers in Istanbul. They didn't answer me, nada. Made me sad a little :(

[@YellowBrickFloyd]

Mike of Vick Audio retired at the end of 2023. The V-2 retired prior to that before he closed business. Very sad. I have several of his Gilmour inspired pedals, V2, various big muffs, Overdriver, and The Tree of Life is awesome, too....cross between Zen Drive and OCD.

[@rico387]

The Money solo was done on a 24 fret Bill Lewis guitar with hum buckers. That may be the last link to getting Money perfect. But....

2:00 Aren't you per definition sponsored when you get the equipment for free from the manufacturer? I thought that was exactly what sponsored means.

[@mustyguitar]

I understand that's the idea, but I get more than a few gifts from different brands. I don't do demos on most of them because I don't believe they are the right tool. I only accept gifts if I have the say about what the video will be like and there is NO WAY they can complain about the comments I make. PastFx or any other brand knows that it's up to me to do whatever I do with the pedals or the products. Most of them expect videos, some of them get that I PERSONALLY want to with my own comments. You're right though, I should've been clearer.

[@michaelfowler3187]

It's too compressed to rival the tdy lower gain and eq controls but as a overall gain pedal it can provide pretty much all the benefits of muffs and cleans up like an OD pretty well in the standard mode. The modern mode was a bit too intense for me but I sure loved the range of this pedal. It's like a zen drive that got excommunicated from the dojo

[@ac30helix44]

Is your backing track for fat old sun the full track or just a centre channel extraction for the solo ?

Sounds great! Although for echoes he used a triangle muff and T-rex delay replica during that tour. You can see them on top of his Pete Cornish pedalboard

[@mustyguitar]

He actually included triangle later in the tour, I’m not sure if he even used the pedal, I haven’t seen any data. Though, on royal Albert hall, his echoes funky tone sounds brighter, I’ll look into it when I do royal Albert hall definitive guide

Just check the intonation of your sonic blue strat. Down low is fine but up high even on bends it's not hitting the note because it's flat . It wasn't your bend so much but more the string on that part high up the neck song was fat old sun solo.

[@FaberGT86]

Hi Mustafa, I respect you so much for the work you do but in this case we need to make a clarification, the pedal is a clone of the Buffalo Fx Evolution which is a remake of the Cornish G2. As well, the TD-Y is a clone of the Buffalo Fx TD-X which is inspired by the Bk Butler Tube Drive. I have both, the 'originals' 😅of course.

I just want to say that this pedal is overhyped. It is noisy, it's very hard to get a decent tone out of it, and after purchasing it, I can't even give it away. I listed it on an auction site and have got the price down to almost half what I paid. Not only has nobody purchased it, last week another listing appeared, someone who also bought this pedal because of the hype, regretted it, and is having a hard time getting rid of it. All I can say is question what you hear, especially when the viral buzz is as strong as with this one. It's nothing like a big muff.

[@mustyguitar]

I always use this pedal and I love the tones, it’s noisy I admit, but it has enormous gain and fat, faaat neck sound even on low gain. It’s overdrive if you want, it’s a distortion if you want, it’s not a big muff, it never was, but it does a very good job for big muff tones. I have never taken it off my board and to this day I used it on several of my covers! I watched this video one more time after i saw this comment. What a great pedal! Lovely tones. Sorry it doesn’t suit your taste but hey, I don’t like tube screamers, I don’t think they are bad, I think I just don’t like that sound. I think that’s the case for you about this pedal.
