Friday Fretworks - 3 Favourite Pedals Under £100 

The epitome of taste, touch and tone. What a great player!!

Your sense of phrasing on the guitar is awesome.

You're one of a very very few I look foward to uploads from! You're playing and tone is a huge inspiration to me.

Everytime I watch a video of yours and i feel inspired.. you give such value to some simple notes and dynamic .. more into a monophonic instrument speciality if you know what I mean .. You're awesome man

Second half of this video is wonderful. Lovely guitar playing - flawless, expressive, nuanced - totally enjoyed it and wished it went longer.

I have become addicted to your videos. Thank you for all that you do. Hopefully you will become recognized for your playing style and ability soon. I think you're gonna be a big star some day.

That playing at the end was absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful.

Wow, as always Chris you play some really tasteful pieces that really show off what the guitar sounds like.

My 3 favorites are ts 808, ts 9, and ts mini. And yes, I stack them all together. 🤘

Absolutely gorgeous playing I’m well inspired. Thankyou

Amazing playing! And great sounds!

It reminds me of little wing in a way. Great phrasing man! I have a little of that going myself but yours is more polished w/more goodies thrown in there

This is an awesome and informative video for beginners and old hands alike. Three pedal boards can be simple (and cheap) and still sound fantastic. I run either the king of tone, sd1 or a Bd2 into a dd3 and tr2 (may be the greatest tremolo pedal out there). Simple and effective and incredibly versatile. I've started seeing more pros running simple rigs like this showing us that massive pedal boards are always necessary. Cheers.

Beautiful demo!!!

Awesome playing, maestro!!!

I heard of you from That Pedal Show and have been watching your channel over the past few days and listening to Buck and Evans and have to say WELL PLAYED!!!! It looks like you work really hard and I'm sure over the years you've had to ride out hard times to get where you are that we will never know about. It brings me joy to hear your talent. Have you ever tried the Mooer Blues Crab? I love the Bluesbreaker style sound/feel/tone but (as you highlight here) they are expensive. I know you played the Boss Blues Driver but was looking for more of the Bluesbreaker style OD.

I only use 4 pedals (including the tuner!) and the VT3 is one of them. Cracking trem pedal, and wonderful clean boost.

Your making those lower price pedals just sing, utterly amazing tone Chris.

Chris, tienes uno de los mejores feeling que he escuchado en el ultimo tiempo, sigue asi, saludos desde chile

Great playing as always, tones awesome and that guitar is a gem!!!!

That Yamaha is a going to be timeless classic in its old age. Great playing.

Your sense of phrasing while speaking is awesome!

Great choices and even better playing!

Good subtle use of affordable effects!

Amazing playing! Just goes to show it's all in the hands 😊

The blues driver pedal is a must !

Best blues jam in 502t. Sweet tone my friend..

Such a gifted player.

I really like my Revstar 502T, just add a TC Electronic Sentry noise gate, perfect. Sounds and plays like a guitar costing 3 times the price. Your playing is so sweet, no need for any band or backing track when you play like that.

Noticed the Boss Blues Driver. Thats one pedal that will never leave my board

So on a par with D'Pete ... nice work with the budget pedals. Something to be said for making you work a bit harder to find the sounds you want...

Thanks for the tip on the Boss compressor. I was surprised to hear how well it works in combination with a Nobel overdrive and my Stratocaster. Now I can't turn it off : )

Tasteful playing man. Try the Guyatone md3 for a warm digital delay. I've had mine for 20 years. They recreated one of their very old which got some acclaim causing them to inflate their prices a bit.

Absolutely beautiful playing, serene. The Boss compressor was silent, I can't hear no problem with it, especially as you are using P90s. I use the Behringer equivalent on my board to no detriment. I guess we both got lucky. 😎🎸✅

QUESTION how do you record your guitar sound when making these videos? Thank you I really enjoying your guitar sound. I think the thing I like about it the best is your use of a compressor

Great demo as usual.. What amp/speaker are you playing and what are your amp settings.. ??

Thanks for the video! I'm a newbie to pedals and I would be interested to hear your take on whether a set up like this outweighs the versatility of getting something like the line 6 hx effects? (as it would be a similar sort of price)

Thats cool. I use the Blues Driver and the CS 2. Bought them used for around $50 each. My Whampler Clarksdale does might be replacing the blues driver. It has more eq and is less noisy. They both work with boosting Acoustic guitars as well.

Nice playing over the loop man :-)

Hi Chris,, great clip as usual.. I was wondering what amp/cab/speaker simulation you are using? Is it a VOX type amp, Blackface fender, celestion type speaker, openback or closed back etc.. ?

Key bits: 0:00 - Intro/what pedals? 6:56 - JAMS!

Great informative video of much use to me 👍🏻😎 Amazing full sounding guitar did u change the pickups or are they still stock ?

I'll say it again... there is a huge Michael Landau inspiration here, just superb!

I totally dig your taste in pedals. Price is really a side note when you're happy with the tone you get. I love great tone even if it costs a bit more! I've spent waaaaaaay too much on cables however..... that's another story! ha ha Thx pal. Great playing!

What is the amp model and speaker cab sim you are using in this video...

I find for transparent compression the Philosophers Tone does it the best, and you can get them used for around $80. I find their strength is sustain, it has an ungodly amount, honestly i don't how it does it. I bought mine when i went in to get a Univibe. I happened to have s read w review of the PT, and saw it in the case and wanted to try it. I grabbed a Squire Tele, plugged into a Blues Jr and hit an open A to dial the amp in. I futzed around for a while looking to the pic i dropped and after i found it and went back the amp i realized the chord was still ringing out with no decay at all, it was just as loud as it was when i started. I turned to my right and there was 2 or 3 guys at the wall of guitars, all turned around staring at me with dumb looks on their faces (no knock to them, i had the same). "Dude, what the hell is THAT?" I told them it was supposed to be the Univibe, but apparently it's my new compressor. I will say that i only use it now for sustain, for my normal compression needs i use a Keeley, or a Dyna Comp for when I'm going for a specific pop and snap for clean arpeggios.

Nice!

Checks in for the casual banter, stays to maybe learn a bit about that Boss Compressor/Sustainer (cuz you know...I've got one, and the bit of sqished boost you get from yours is precisely what I got it for), rewarded for the time invested with some sublimely beautiful jams, as per usual!

You can add as many as many cheap or expensive pedals as you like to your board. Still need magic fingers to make it all work.

Have you tried the Fender Pugilist yet?

Oh mylanta. Sounds amazing! Ever tried the D&M Drive? Is it similar to the King O Tone? Anyone feel free to chime in on that question.

This guy's playing is so damn tasty. Hair raising. Amazing stuff.

I have the Orange Kongpressor compressor. Its very good.

I see this is about a year old. Are you still playing the revstar yamaha stuff?

Love your playout Great, so juicy

Very nice demo. Could you Share the settings for the CS-3? Thank you

I'm going to get a looper pedal next. I need to add one of them for practice. I'm digging the scar on the cheek. I'd roll with it if I was you. Tell people you got it in a knife fight and the other guy ended up with a Glasgow Smile for cutting you. Instant street cred!

Fuzz, Wah and a Tube Screamer should cover it.

11:30 Nice loop jam!

Just been listening to Humble Pie live at the Fillmore, their guitar sounds were great, some lovely swapping of lead parts, between Pete Frampton and and Steve Marriot, they used a total of zero pedals or effects for the whole album. Pedals are great, but they are also another layer of disconnection between the player and their audience.

I live in a part of Australia where I can’t try good gear before buying. I have to pay a lot of money for decent gear and hope that it sounds like the RU-vid videos. I understand why you’d pay £200 to get things from the US. It’s crazy that people would criticise you for it.

Hey Chris ! Great video. Soul food, tube screamer mini or the blues driver ??? Looking for a bluesy overdrive pedal around the price point talked about in the video. Would you recommend any of the 3 I mentioned or do you, or anyone else looking to help, have any other suggestions? Cheers :)

Behringer DD600. Digital Delay pedal well under £100.

My favorite are: Mini fuzz face Red Anyone tslike clone Joyo Dseed delay

Delay under £100? MXR Carbon C

There is clearly a reverb effect in your 'clean tone' signal (via amp/rig?) before any of the pedals are kicked on...

Wow 🇬🇧

Oh the Illuminatii came to you too? Hmm They pay well?

I’m torn between this guitar and a Fender Player Strat.

that cali pedal is too much in my opinion, but i am on the list for the kot

Just stunningly beautiful, melodic playing.....I got carried away there, I nearly pumped the ex wife :-O

Someone has been studying his Knopfler.

Why the 666 sign in the thumbnail?

Line6 Echo Park for sub £100 delay. Thank me later.

quid? sounds like seafood
