Ultimate Overdrives Part One

2:20 EP Booster 10:00 Beano Boost 15:02 Blues Driver 20:12 King of Tone

[@Thebertski69]

This is the quality of sound that the Andertons guys should aspire to .I am listening to this on a Bose companion 5 computer audio system and the sound is stunning i can feel every note and chord. Well done done guys great video !!

[@rickenbacker40011]

Yeah, I feel that way too, I've never really heard too great of a tone from chappers/andertons

[@corinwilson1590]

+Thebertski69 it's because they couldn't mic an amp if their lives depended on it

[@rickenbacker40011]

Corin Wilson yeah definitely

[@ThePhilipp0407]

+Thebertski69 >Complains about sound quality >Listens on Bose speakers...... ;)

[@rickenbacker40011]

ThePhilipp0407 oh DAMN. Shots fired

[@Doug5524]

That is the best 25.30 minutes I've spent on You Tube I now want a JTM45 WOW thanks guys a great demo

[@todlu]

+Doug J Funny cause it my reaction was the same. Let's buy ourselves a JTM, shall we?

[@todlu]

+Doug J But.. on the second thought... AC30 fo' sho'

[@Doug5524]

+Harry Blackhole I must admit a AC30 now sounds cool I have just picked up a new Gary Clark Casino so a AC30 would be first class for sound I will have to settle for what I have already got a Fender Blues junior, a Marshall DSL 5C and yamaha THR10c not complaining really just running out of space \m/

[@SickMetalAddict]

+Doug J Funny cause my reaction was that I wanted an AC30 more!

[@Doug5524]

+SickMetalAddict So let's compromise , will have both :-)

[@tubularbill]

The Blues Driver might just be the best all around pedal ever made

[@wadewilson6082]

That huge room and the acoustics! I just wanna crank and hear the natural reverb.

[@chestermiccochiu9448]

Dan is just GENIUS IN ALL PEDAL CONCEPTS even everything.

[@jordic2074]

The AC30 sounds very very nice!

[@SRV03101954]

AC30 sounds very nice indeed, but the jtm45 blows that AC30 out of the water. I would choose that jtm over the AC30 every day.

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Great video but all I could think was "let's hear it through the deluxe".

[@graemehodges4367]

+ArielsSmartyPants That was my initial thought as well. On reflection I decided that no pedal can improve on the Deluxe Reverb...

[@AslanW]

I'm a complete noob when it comes to amp models, I've "just" been playing guitar for 11 years.. Even though I've played electric through 100s of amps for forever I have no clue what you guys are talking about, but am I getting this right; you think that the deluxe reverb is a bad amp? If yes, how so?

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

What? Make sense for one and because we want to hear the deluxe doesn't sound at all like we think they're bad. Considering that's what I have at home I think not lol. Have a better one.

[@AslanW]

***** English is a second language for me, sorry. I interpreted Graeme's comment as nothing could make the deluxe sound good and I wanted to know if I got that right. And I was also saying that even though I have 11 years of experience under my belt, I don't know anything about different amp models, which is why I was asking about it. Hope that made more sense.

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Aww, now you go and make me feel bad, well no we both said exactly what we meant, let's hear it through the deluxe :)

[@theCFXchannel]

I visit this video frequently just because it has some of the best guitar sounds I've ever heard in it

[@HolsingerE]

I always look forward to your reviews. Thanks for being objective and demonstrating multiple guitars/amps so we have a better idea of how it will respond to our own equipment.

[@HawxGaming]

Thank you for panning the mics... makes it so much better through headphones :)

[@rangerdoc1029]

That settles it.... I need to buy a warehouse to play in.

[@georgefromgreece4119]

Haha epic comment!

[@hellbillygoatboy]

Hahahaha! I’d settle for a room. I do have half the dining room at present... overrated. Lol

[@dodger916]

These are among the best analyses of guitar pedals I've seen: slow, deliberate, incremental; exactly how I experiment with gear. Very helpful. Thanks!

[@jimbarx7088]

No "cork sniffing",but your letting the amps "breathe"...fucking love it.

[@MrSh8ky]

Gee how things have changed from 2019 vids, the aesthetic that is, content remains brilliant and informative as always.... Thanks guys. Cheers Marty from Melbourne

[@stefanozurich]

I love how Mick is trying really hard not to grin like a school boy in a toy shop.

[@CastToVoid]

Look at our boys! They look so young

[@victorvalverde9478]

These guys and The Pedal Show are a Godsend!! They have helped me immensely to build my pedal board and choose the appropriate pedals for the sound(s) I desire. Kudos to Dan and Mick. Vic here!!!

[@tomh4530]

That room sounds amazing, the amps aside, that room is making the whole thing sound so sweet

[@Shawnguitarguy]

I just literally laughed out loud with joy when he hit the first chord with the Les Paul with the Beano Boost.

[@sk8rox22]

Man! these guys really make you want all of these different instruments and tools, they are VERY persuasive!

[@johanhallgren6717]

Lester, King of Tone and JTM-45, heaven!

[@gaztaylor9682]

Analogman King of Tone in to Marshall JTM45, with any guitar.....simply WOW!!!!!! What a wonderfully inspiring way to spend 25 mins....thanks to the Guitarist Team and those Pedal Show dudes, I'm in a very happy place right now :)

[@dylanduke1075]

jesus that strat.... gets me everytime

[@TH-gu4wj]

This is my favorite video that these two have done.

[@DanHains]

This is my dream job. Well done, guys.

[@dowaliby1]

So glad I'm catching up on all your past videos that I've missed, Mick and Dan. You guys are so cool and fun that it would be worth moving to England just to be able to hang out with you. I absolutely love that Tele, Dan. You inspired me to pick up my first Tele ever a couple years ago. And, I've gotta say, Mick playing that 335 through the Beano into that Marshall sounds monstrous - a match made in tonal Heaven. Reminiscent of Clapton's work with Mayall and the Bluesbreakers. That LP didn't sound none too shabby either, BTW.

[@chipphillips6391]

Treble booster into EP booster is magical.

[@TheMichaelseymour]

i love the joy these 2 get from pedals....

[@johnmarquez333]

Oh my! Glorious tones, all of them, but the Tele/KoT/Marshall combination was awesome! Great video.

[@MrPaolo101]

I love everything about this vid!... Cant wait for part 2!..

[@CrazyCow500]

Strat into EP Boost into AC30 is butter

[@runrabbitrun4342]

My Oh My That 335 sure nails The EC Cream tone's. Nice demo guy's.......

[@robcirice6447]

My amp is a BlackStar and I run a Fender Strat with a Seymour Duncan in the bridge. On a clean channel in front of the amp the EP Booster gives a rather distorted muddy sound similar to that of the Marshall in this video. With little rise in terms of volume. When I run the EP Booster through the effects loop I get clear transparency and the volume level spikes to insane levels. Just thought I would put this out here for those BlackStar owners wondering what to expect when combining the two.

[@BeefNEggs057]

Rob Cash Does your EP have the internal dip switches (that may reduce that bass)?

[@DarClaude]

This video (along with the supplement from Guitarist mag which brought me here) has just re-ignited my passion for the electric guitar again (my attention/dedication span comes and goes for some annoying reason)... Got that lovely funny feeling in my tummy again making me yearn to crank my Strat and get these gorgeous tones filling my world. Have instructed the wife to get me a Blues Driver for chrimbo. Great work guys, so informative. Many many thanks!!

[@fpapaleo74]

Fantastic demo guys! Cheers! I can't wait to see the next one!

[@U2WB]

That AC30 sounds spectacular with everything. I wish that I had bought one a long time ago. All these years I’ve been a Marshall and Fender guy. Didn’t know what I was missing.

[@gordontubbs]

I was the same. My first real amp was a blackface twin, then I switched to a JCM2000 halfstack and after a long time wound up bumping down to an AC30. It's an amazing amp. It can do the pedal platform thing if you want, as well as the saturated overdrive too.

[@kimmolingonheimo]

just a couple weeks ago some sold aye AC30 for like 700€s, I onece bourht a Fender deluxe Modified for 700, didnr care for it, left it in the can................, at home one Fender 10G at the bookshelf does marvels...😎

[@guitarnerd_luke]

I love that ES-335!!! =) Usually i never use an OD, playing with my tone and volume knobs on my Gibsons into a cranked amp (18 Watt Plexi, Dlx Reverb or Transatlantic) is all i need. But i still love to watch your videos! Keep up the good work.

[@jasondeli]

Another amazing video, the passion and detail you guys describe the tone and how everything works with each other is truly great thank you for your videos

[@furbymetal83]

Vox AC + Blues Driver-- one of the nicest combinations out there that no one ever talks about. So underrated. There are other worlds beyond the Fender&Ts horizon, folks

[@billy10100]

18.36 what a tone!!! Perfect. Money couldnt buy a better tone:)

[@jay2xtremefy]

Dan’s ear is gold.

[@26ruben1]

The phrase "transparent overdrive" has probably been said more than a million times on youtube. Just a guess.

[@guitarphil1259]

Great! Enjoyed the watch and great to see you both having fun!

[@viveknair2387]

You guys just don't do a bad show! Loved the spacious room setting.

[@rickenbacker40011]

these tones is givin me the vapors

[@marianofernandez3600]

Every time I see this video back after some years I keep learning things ;) amazing guys

[@Chrismayo1981]

Mick has a WICKED vibrato!

[@fruhentus4437]

Man that EP booster sound is the one i seek for my cleans

[@TCMx3]

gain pedals gain pedals gain pedals gain pedals!!! also love the dual amp setup, Mick and Dan, huge selection of pedals... best channel on youtube

[@mushkamusic]

@13:09, I actually really liked that EP boost into the Beano boost! :)

[@RickMcCargar]

13:04 - best sound up to that point. Bright and alive. Loved it! He always plays dark. Buys a tele, plays dark.

[@surfzion]

This 3 videos series is the definitive bible on Overdrive/Distortion.

[@njslim]

The King Of Tone had been on my board since it came out. With it, every amp sounds good.

[@1willywonker]

love your playing the blues man

[@elephantricity]

Beano boost is so great.

[@Jonathan-L]

+Alex Padilla Yes indeed ... that Beano Boost really does a great job. Personally, I wasn't impressed by the EP Booster, but the Beano is so much better.

[@bbnatedogg]

+Jonathan L The funny thing is it's called a Beano Boost, but Clapton says he never used a Dallas Rangemaster.

[@elephantricity]

I've always associated the rangemaster with Brain May and not Clapton.

[@bbnatedogg]

Alex Padilla I think Gilmour used it in the 70's too. May probably should be most associated with it.

[@countstoneula]

+bluesboynate Gilmour used a Coloursound Power Booster. I think that's what you're thinking of. I agree, May is the man that always comes to mind. He still uses one today where as most others have moved on.

[@Rhythmicons]

Good lord all of them sounded great. Those amps, man.

[@nobaku71]

i need more than one opporunity to like this!!!! fantastic so helpful and thorough

[@daddymagnum3340]

The tone at 21:55 is just all mighty

[@MrTrenttownrock]

I freaking love this! More!!!

[@angeloproni5007]

For completeness, the bottom end produced by the JTM is also a function of the cab and speakers. Everything in the signal chain, from fingers to ears, passing by room, mikes, preamps, mix, mastering, your computer, your sound card, the state of your hearing and even the mood you are in contributes to what you hear. And by the way, I've not mentioned all the other variables in the equation. My point? It's as much a science as it is an art and time spent paying attention to what you're doing is the best way to gain knowledge and develop your own tone. Which, by the way, is not a destination...

[@Williamstanway]

great video guys, love the way you record your sound, I can get a really good feel for the tones through my headphones.

[@danielbell4007]

The surprising thing to me, is that(at least it seems like it...) you guys switch from guitar to guitar and amp to amp without adjusting the settings on the amps or the pedals, and it still sounds great!

[@brandook3648]

gibson+beano+marshall = godly sound. holy shit. Nice playing too

[@gregclarkreasons]

I concur.

[@alenac7269]

U said it! Truly a holy sound! :-) Its def my favorite tone! 😈 Though I'm assuming u meant the 335 not the Les Paul -Dont get me wrong they both sound absolutely amazing for sure, but that 335+beano+marshall is going to church for me! 🙏😉

[@ortizvillarreal4070]

For years I have been playing the Little Green Wonder with Suhr pickups thru my twin silverface, but I needed more drive so I started looking for the best "blending" pedals if you will, so I bought the Moxon 808 and placed it before my Little Green. The 808 really enhances the distortion.

[@mattgilbert7347]

Mick's vibrato is fantastic.

[@benjamintackett2050]

The vox sounds amazing

[@davecarpenter2517]

Bank manager "ok Dave, so what's the main purpose of the loan?" Dave: "I want Dan to build me a pedal board!"

[@grahamkelly8299]

"How about a mortgage then sir?"

[@010hek]

I just wanna hear these guys play together, come on man, make a jam session.

[@npinero1]

wow, great room sound that adds that sizzle over the top.But it must be tough to control.

[@marlonborreo]

Love the natural room reverb.

[@thisislogout]

Love the sound of a Tele! The strat had some buzz noise in the clean position. Love the amps. Nice demo, guys. Cheers

[@BeefNEggs057]

Just an update. The EP Booster has dip switches that control the amount of bass that get boosted so if you're not looking for a fat boost you can turn it into a flat EQ clean boost. That said the bass boost is exaggerated in this video. Must be clipping the mic or the older EP had much more bass. Mine just gives a nice fat boost which is great for solos in the upper frets.

[@dragui9932]

Best video ever! So much useful & informative. Thank you guys!

[@MJPGuitar]

Love my AC30, they sound so great!

[@stratmagic6893]

thoroughly enjoyed that video.you two guys are great together.very informative and makes me wish I was in the room with you if it sounded that good on my speakers I can only imagine the room sound- I had the pleasure recently of playing a collectors choice Les Paul thru a JTM 45 combo at breakup levels and there is nothing like it-having that Analogman would have been icing on the cake

[@paulsmith6381]

Dan & Mic Thanks so much for your information ,it’s so valuableI continue to learnYes, I just purchased a king of tone !

[@alexlubinski7795]

When Dan puts Ep Booster into Beano and plays that awesome chord - "It sounds awful" - WHAAAAAAT? It sounded ace. Still, the 335 with Beano into AC30 was the best tone I've heard in a while.

[@simpleone1989]

I love Mick's guitar face at 18:33. Haha real intense.

[@hyakoutake]

That Tele into this JTM is the Grail Tone. Wow

[@thebarondisco7741]

A critical flaw i see here is that the vast majority of pedals need to set differently based on the amp and guitar being used (as amps also need to be set differently based on the guitar and pedals used) to achieve the best sound. If they pre-gamed it and figured out the most neutral settings that seemed to be a compromise across all guitars, amps, and pedals, that still doesn't show the true potential of the various combinations.

[@SamVieiraGuitar]

Just what I needed, eaiting for part two

[@ronhuther577]

That Vox is awesome

[@nobaku71]

THANK YOU for demoing a VOX!!!!!!!!! so hard to find demos with them

[@alenac7269]

335+Beano+Marshall = straight up perfection for me! It may be to bassy for some -but my ears love it! 😈 Pure yummy! 😍

[@thatmanonapedal]

I see two guys around 18 years old :). Glorious :) :)

[@jeremiahmountain2460]

Why not try and plug into the bright channel in the JTM 45? I think that's a killer sound with less bottom end then the normal channel! maybe next time. Great videos guys, killer material and playing Mick & Dan!

[@A_l_e_x_m_u_s_i_c]

Absolutely true!

[@hafstrat]

Great vid. Nice not to have all the banter and back slapping that some videos have too much of. Nice one.

[@USMarine75]

For the money you can't beat that blues driver!

[@jamjunkies3639]

Must have watched this video ten times now. Still good. :D

[@JamesRussoMillas]

Nice! I need to start watching That Pedal Show haha

[@Fugue602]

What a job to have!

[@embreesmith7613]

great review, guy's actually was a reminder I might want to use my "real" AC30 that has been sitting unused for some 30 years it's also just fantastic that unlike most reviewers you can actually PLAY .. :)

[@Worldwideguy96]

Great great demo!! It would have been nice though if you guys would have included the "naga vipper" by Catalinbread. It's a boost pedal that allows you to adjust the frequencies that you wish to boost. So you basically have a full frequency booster or a treble booster in one pedal. It gives a lot of flexibility and is pretty useful if you have many guitars and different amps in your rig. Cheers!

[@gurkanildas]

Great video! I have a JTM 45 Reissue also and very curious about the settings in the video. These guys are spot on about the excess bass, I turn it down completely.

[@TheLynus]

Awesome video guys, keep them coming!

[@Neverlast2010]

Great Vid ... bring on part 2. Any chance of a Rockbox Boiling Point featuring at all?

[@MrBradHendrickson]

Unless they've adjusted the internal dip switch from its stock position, even all the way down to "unity gain" at @5:57 it's still a +3dB boost.

[@MaxRiffage]

Better than the telly! Where's part two?

[@gibaha]

dang I've been wanting a king of tone and don't want to spend the money. I have a jtm45, les paul, and tele for my rig. you just forced me to get it. that sounded amazing

[@espinela]

Thanks & more to come soon, please!
