However many years and a billion overdrives later...and still nothing tops the king of tone for me. It works with my strat, with my tele, with my Paul Reed Smith. It works by itself for an input boost. It works with a tube screamer for heftier drives. It just never fails. I know a lot of people have a chip on their shoulder because of the waiting list and ridiculous second hand pricing. But man...I just haven’t found anything better.
Hiya Chris, I spoke to you briefly after the Ebbw Vale Gig Last year, I asked you then how you made your guitar sound like that. Your reply was, "Its Just luck" I think you fibbed!! obviously you've put a lot of thought into creating your sound. Thanks for posting this vid it's a great insight.
Thanks for the video Chris. Quick question - with your KOT, how have your set your internal dip switches? Thanks man - love the feel and tone you get out of your fingers and the sound you get out of your rig.
Thank you man! Sorry, I should have explained the chain more clearly. It's guitar > SM Fuzz > Polytune > Centura > QM8 (Cali76 is 3rd loop in) > EP Booster :)
Hey, what kind of cables do you use? I have a small issue with "LiveWire" cables in my chain. I tend to have one or more cables going out during practice or a gig. I'm thinking about using a switcher looper for my Rig as well. What do you suggest?
Thanks for the insight Chris, as a potential replacement for the Blues Breaker have you looked at something like a Snouse BlackBox 2 ? It's based on the original blues breaker circuit with some added versatility, takes up less space on the board too. I have one and it's cracking.
Awesome! Thanks for the heads up Jonathan - I'll definitely do a bit of research. It'd be a shame to retire my BB1 as it's such a great pedal, but it may be the sensible thing to do the way it's going :)
Thank you Gavin! :) I wouldn't want to say all fuzz pedals like a mid push (I've not really experimented with Big Muff style fuzz too much...) but as a rule, mid-pushed overdrive pedals seem to fatten out Fuzz Face style circuits very nicely :) Great to my ear, at least...
Chris - I'm such a huge fan of the sound you got out of the Dover in this clip ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C50GTpmkYl8.html - Threw me kicking and screaming (in a good way!) smack bang back into the middle of 1969! Dying to know more detail. Were there other pedals on? What amp were you using? Did you have the volume backed off on your guitar the way one has to do to make fuzz pedals remotely usable . . . etc? ANY thing!!
@@ChrisBuckGuitar I'm not saying don't have them all, but I've noticed everyone is loading all their pedalboards with redundant stuff, and I myself have fallen prey to it. Pedalboards are not really beating out the racks of the early 1990's.
