Everyone has is place to achieve a lot of sounds in different situation. Then, there is personal taste. The Guv'nor is awesome for classic rock/hard rock and i like Rat too. Nice video!!
DS1 with Single coils and MXR with humbuckers have been my go-to goose pedals in front of a Marshall amp for 40 years. I keep trying new pedals , but...
Long live the rodent🤘Also, I think I need a Guv’nor now. Hearing the D+ in action has me even more excited for the clone of it I’m about to build. Honorable mention to HM-2. Obviously way more range than it’s usually given credit for. Definitely more than just a saw.
The MXR and the Rat were nice, but that Guv'nor, man, it was awesome! In the other hand, the Boss, the Maxon, the Metal Zone and the Friedman, they all chug 🤘🏻
It was weird when it occurred to me that punk's initial wave (1976-77) involving The Sex Pistols, The Damned, X Ray Spex etc happened before distortion pedals were as readily available and common as they quickly became later. You listen to "Damned Damned Damned", and the guitar work is almost totally clean. But they sounded kickass regardless, because the playing itself is really aggressive. I wonder how weary The Sex Pistols got with their practice sessions, with Steve Jones having to turn up a Twin Reverb up to 10 in order to get any meaningful distortion, lol. No wonder Johnny Rotten is a bitter grouch. 😂 I'm old enough; there were "fuzz boxes", but nothing I'm aware of re dirt boxes which sounded more amp-like, before Boss etc appeared.
Great video!!been playing hard rock and metal since '78 and have had all these pedals.what I've been using since it came out is the nux plexi crunch.amazing pedal for under $50 and olays everything from blues to metal.
Overall i was prerty surprised by the mxr. Standalone as a pedal the freidman was very good but fell short with the amp test. Srandalone as a pedal didn't really like the sound of the Maxon, but boy did it come alive together with the amp.
Esta review me abrio los ojos. Nunca pude probar estos pedales en el mismo equipo y con tiempo. Todos sonaron bien. Algunos me gustaron mas que otros pero hasta el metal zone me gusto. El friedman me decepciono un poco. Esperaba mucho mas. Excelente como todos sus reviews.
I love the MXR and funny how the DS1 sounds like a jar of bees. I already have 12 distortion pedals so I need the MXR too. Are the new ones as good as the vintage ones?
