Hello! I'm Buddy Blues, a working musician based out of Orlando Florida. On this channel I'll be doing Gear Demos, Videos on what it is like to be a working musician these days, Amp demos, Pedal demos, Guitar lessons and pretty much anything Guitar related. I'd also like to heavily focus on Small Businesses in the music industry to help shed light on companies you may have not heard of to help them out and in return help you out with killer gear!
This vs. Carbon, Morning Glory, Cmatmods Butah, Bluesbreaker reissue, snouse black box, E.H. spruce goose, Nordvang gravity, Prince of tone, bondi breakers, etc.
One year later, this is still the best solo ive ever heard. I bought maybe 7 of these pedals and gave one to a friend. I think this solo can fit in Dolly Parton's i will always love you, replace when she says "i hope life treats you kind..." And cut back to i wish you love part after this sick solo .. I know you are the new Slash. You are the one, no one solos better than Buddy Blues.
Question… do you like running a drive pedal before or after a compressor? What did you do in this video? Looks like compressor into drive but I’ve heard others recommend drive into compressor. Thoughts?
I use this pedal to give a desired mid range frequency bump to my tone and attenuate any unwanted high frequencies as well. This allows you to tame amps with too much top end and bass plus adds a midrange presence to a scooped EQ sounding amp. I start by setting the gain to 0 then I bring the output volume up until I reach unity volume level so it doesn’t push the amp into further break up.Then I dial in the midrange frequency I want with the tone knob and then I roll back the highs and lows to my own taste. The Tube Screamer is a great pedal to create your overall tone with and allows you to get your desired sound with any amp (clean or dirty).
Your demo is masterful as always, however I was expecting something better from UA. They nail it with the Dream 65, and the Lion, but quite honestly I just can't really hear a descent Dumble tones on this pedal. It has an incredible tone, and the speaker options are insane, I guess this is their version of a Dumble ODS; I just don't hear it... The Peace Hills FX ODS you demoed is another story, but it's $300 more, so not a true comparison.
Oh man... I've got the Lion, the Woody, the Ruby... I can't be buying another!!! I watched reviews from other guys I trust... and yeah, cool, I don't need to buy it... phew! I watch yours and... OH WOW... Where's my wallet? Always such cool playing from you, by the way.
It wouldn’t no, it’s not designed to carry a load but instead a line level out. It has an emulated 4x12 cab built in and 8 others however. It could plug in directly to a powered speaker, or an FRFR
One of the things I admire about your reviews is that you go through the full gamut of sounds produced by the item, be theyu guitars, pedals or amps. Not everyone gets down to putting out the jazz sounds - yes, I am a jazzer, like you do. Will have to save up for this but, it seems worth it; at least cheaper and a bit more versatile than the Peace Hill Effects Dumble pedals.
I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. It looks like a pedal, but is several amps and several cabs in a box. Think of it like an amp. Can’t plug an amp into an amp. This one does allow you to do what they call a 4 cable method which goes into the effects loop of the amp essentially bypassing the preamp and replacing your amps preamp with the UA pedal.
It sounds absolutely amazing. Your playing doesn't hurt. Fantastic! I would buy one in a heartbeat, but it's Insane that these are on reverb for $1000. There has to be a better way.
I watch your demos because you’re such an insane blues player. Just fantastic feel. Perfect. I have the ethos overdrive and have been satisfied. Until this demo lol.
Yours is the best demo so far for this Pedal. But! If I owned the Dream 65 or Lion I wouldn’t spend the money for more of the same. You can get similar tones on those pedals.
