Lee and Pete start with about 40 drive pedals & choose their favourite 5 for a mild bluesy driven guitar tone. To be fair, every pedal we tried sounded cool in its own way, so this is really just us picking ones that we liked best. There are literally 100s of great pedals out there for this kind of guitar tone, so if you've bought or like something different to ones we like, don't feel bad!!

No disrespect to Chapman, but it’s real refreshing to hear someone else play and review gear on this channel. Pete is an awesome guitar player!

@kbcarroll 5 лет назад

you mean someone who doesn't just grab the highest output humbuckers he can find and cranks every gain knob in sight to 11 and shreds!?

@sinjon 5 лет назад

Agreed. Pete is a way more versatile player. I can’t tell what’s good and what’s bad when Rob plays because it’s all gained out the ass

@simply3141592654 3 года назад

Chapman makes everything sound the same.

@jamespitoola1954 2 года назад

chappers will never recover

@MrBatf1nk 7 лет назад

Do we need to say this again... "Captain Meets - Danish Pete". Your viewers have spoken... stand and deliver!

@1998ben1998 6 лет назад

Just for my own future reference: Tone City Sweet Cream 4:50 DOD Looking Glass 6:48 Greer Lightspeed 9:03 J Rockett Dude 10:47 Xotic BB Pre 13:38

@kimmolingonheimo 4 года назад

have the Sweet Cream, smooth also with others; DOD and Greer and Dude....mmhhh; for the pricy ones (still under 200€)I just ordered two MI AUDIO ones: Super Blues Pro & Cross Over (( 150€ & 190€)); I think theyre much more versatile than the expensive ones here..., Cheers; K : )

@kimmolingonheimo 4 года назад

hello kitty, the DUDE seems versatile!

@jamespitoola1954 2 года назад

@jamesnelson1443 Год назад

DOD is cheap junk!!!!!!

@willanderson571 7 лет назад

Glad to see another blues player at Andertons. We need more of Danish Pete and the Captain

@TheJacobshapiro 7 лет назад

Please let this be a long-running series on Andertons! You two are my two favorite people on the channel.

@Adamnme01 7 лет назад

yeah Chappers is really starting to grate

@jasecola 6 лет назад

I love my Sweet Cream pedal. Probably my favorite in the Tone City line. That being said, I really dug the sound of the Looking Glass.

@kimmolingonheimo 3 года назад

Mad Prof Simble to Sweet Cream: dynamic and bluesy, to Trex Diva... jazzy too

@kimmolingonheimo 2 года назад

still got my 2 Looking Glasses: FET-transisters, touch sensitivity, endless EQ. utmost versatility!after darker Jazzy tones brings classy finesse to the tone!

@chris3383 7 лет назад

I've been subscribed to this channel for bout a year give or take Pete is so well rounded it's crazy I from southern Indiana US ...who would have thought a Danish guy could play the blues like this

@raceface_m2579 7 лет назад

I demand more of Pete.

@reviewforthetube6485 6 лет назад

Dude that looking glass pedal is just amazing one of the best pure sounding tone ive ever heard from a pedal woe just wow thats just simply amazing

@deanjohnston104 7 лет назад

Hi. Without being (wholly) self serving, a show on pairing overdrives with Vox AC amps would benefit many I feel. Vox AC style amps are reputed to be very hard to pair with overdrives, and many come unstuck here. It would be great to hear your collective experience applied to choices of overdrives to pair with Vox AC amps, both normal and, especially, top boost channels (since some models only come with top boost circuitry). Even your friends at That Pedal Show I think neglected to mention whether using the top boost or not when they did the five modern ODs into three amps episode. Sorry for posting twice. I posted again here when I realised it felt more like the 'main' video for this series / idea. Thanks again for all the hard work.

@asmallfarmhomestead3657 7 лет назад

Dean Johnston I second this, almost no one uses vox ac15 for pedal videos and considering that's one of the most popular amps tons of people aren't getting any info on how a pedal will sound

@johnhorning2506 7 лет назад

Agreed.

@deanjohnston104 7 лет назад

Thanks for the replies. Yes, those few videos featuring the Vox AC that I can find tend to be both poor in sound quality and with no mention of which channel they are using. With someone like the Anderton’s crew (or That pedal Show team), you have the possibility of not only well recorded sound, but also the meaningful opinions of people who have a far vaster range of amp / pedal experience than most. It would be cool.

@asmallfarmhomestead3657 7 лет назад

Dean Johnston yes!! I've actually commented on That pedal show requesting they use Vox more

@allkeysjamtracks9439 7 лет назад

Can't even get past 00:15 without the Lolz

@thormusique 7 лет назад

Parts 1 and 2 of this extravaganza were both brilliant and much appreciated, Gents! I loved hearing all these pedals one right after another, because I think it makes them far easier to compare. I only wish we could've heard one of you solo on the Les Paul afterwards, because the difference between the two guitars playing the same pedals was immense. I picked out my personal fave of the bunch for Pete's Strat (the Lightspeed), but I was less sure about the Les Paul. So I'd vote for at least a brief revisit of the same five pedals with The Paul. Thanks again!

@marconazz 7 лет назад

Pete you are one of the tastiest most soulful guitar players out there

@gloreano 6 лет назад

In my opinion when they tried each pedal by itself, it did not let me know much. But once Pete played each pedal along with the backing loop, then the pedals began to come alive and I could judge them better. I always find it that sometimes pedals, guitars and amps sound one way by themselves and at times very unexciting. But when played with other instruments or in a band setting at decent volumes they come alive and I can hear how good they are. For me out of the five the Looking Glass, Tone City and Light speed sounded the best. Just my opinion and nothing more. Cheers.

@mathevideos9909 7 лет назад

Thank you for the heaps of effort that went into this video.

@the_swoletariat1621 7 лет назад

The best Andertons video I’ve ever seen. This was amazing, you two are a fantastic team, and this is a great series!

@rubendeklerkdeklerkperform5501 7 лет назад

I need a 10hr version of petes closing jam

@Kurt1969 7 лет назад

I was hoping the Xotic BB was going to make it on to the list! One of my favorite OD pedals!

@222SickBoy 7 лет назад

I like seeing how much trial and error went into this. I also like that it was fast forward time lapse style so I didn't have to sit through the struggle! Love it

@DavidDyte1969 7 лет назад

I really really REALLY need that Looking Glass. Every time Pete uses one, I remember that I need it.

@oneox958 7 лет назад

Man...for the money its so hard to argue with the Sweet Cream. That thing just makes amps sparkle!

@chrismundayguitar 7 лет назад

You guys!!!! I now want to go dig out my old BB, but the other four I need them

@sim0n17 4 года назад

that Xotic BB just sounds right everytime - industry standard for bluesbreaker amp tone in a box IMO

@alphakittyofficial 7 лет назад

They all sounded good. I use The Dude pedal a lot and really like it. I know these pedals don't fit the criteria for this video, but I use a Green Rhino and my current favorite --- the Mick side of the D & M for my bluesy stuff.They both really sound great with my gear, but the D & M sounds best. Lots of fun. Thanks, guys!

@alanohagan6999 7 лет назад

Pete's on fire with that jam at the end

@Adamnme01 7 лет назад

I'd love to see something like this for fuzzes

@williamnebreda7843 7 лет назад

Adamnme01 Yep!

@fraenkiboii 6 лет назад

yeah man!!!!! fuzzes!!!

@bigJohnnybabyboy 7 лет назад

Surprising choices! I was expecting the Lightspeed and maybe the Looking Glass, but was sure you would pick a Nobels ODR and some Klones.

@MattyK-USA 6 лет назад

Gosh I love commenting on older Andertons videos. The musical goodness compels me, maybe a little like the dark side of the force. May the musical force be with you all. I know I could use some.

@geraldduenas8966 Год назад

Great team to do this review!! So appreciated. Thank you 😊

@SidBonkers51 7 лет назад

The Sweet Cream sounds great for the money but have to say that the Lightspeed sounded great with both the Strat and the LP

@benzakonium 7 лет назад

I live in Thailand and can confirm that for £39.99 you can in fact have a much better time than playing a Tone City pedal. Lee, if you ever fancy a holiday in Bangkok, I'll show you around!

@shtzweak 5 лет назад

benzakonium I don’t think the captain wants to get stabbed and stds all in one day, I’m not racist im just Thai and know how we are

@youbi179 7 лет назад

Too bad I can only give this vid one thumbs up. Damn, Pete can play...

@quinnmcentire1090 7 лет назад

I'd love to see an Echoplex preamp shootout between the EP booster, the new MXR mini booster, and the Echoplex preamp pedal.

@theghoststunes8267 7 лет назад

light speed + the Les Paul is magical tone. cheers from The Ghosts in Aus!

@moraes_ac 7 лет назад

Also liked The Dude with the strat

@micha-elcleveland1265 7 лет назад

I concur with Pete - Inputs should always be on top

@micha-elcleveland1265 7 лет назад

...but the inputs should never be board mounted - mount them to the enclosure please so that the board does not break, and they will break eventually.

@donaldwright6191 Год назад

Sweet cream, looking glass, and dude are my choices for dual humbuckers

@markgowans 5 лет назад

light speed is the best imo. I can understand why Pete likes it so much.

@organjoe 6 лет назад

Lots of fun - will be looking for more!!

@rolfamundsen230 7 лет назад

"If this video gets lots of thumbs ups we'll do another one" *Smashes thumbs up*

@Ryan-re7oj 7 лет назад

Dod Preamp 250! Beautiful simple and very affordable pedal!

@RH-5482 4 года назад

All the pedals sound great, because Pete and his magic fingers on that Strat made them sound great.

@fraenkiboii 7 лет назад

I'd love to see a "Fuzzes for Blues" Shootout!!!! I've tried two (MXR La machine and Big Muff) and somehow, they are too brutal most of the time...

@DroneCorpse 7 лет назад

Pete's like my favorite person

@bbf0ab08cb44becfec 5 лет назад

@lifeisbeachy4418 7 лет назад

@angieann8916 6 лет назад

I liked the looking glass and the BB pedal best

@lordporcupine8767 7 лет назад

No Boss Blues Driver!!! I'm gutted I love that pedal

@Jason-pn1bc 7 лет назад

lovin the captain and pete combo

@cliffgulliver4626 7 лет назад

Def do the rest of the types.

@rogerriggs126 27 дней назад

Gotta love the banjo intro!

@spidgeb3292 11 месяцев назад

These guys could make any pedal, or no pedal at all, sound great. But I gotta vote for the Dude, too.

@CurtisMcLeodMusic 7 лет назад

Sweet cream is honestly my favorite. The cheapest one up there.

@JoeGuitar 7 лет назад

I own the J Rocket Dude and Sweet Cream as well as the J Rocket Archer... I finally got rid of my Sweet Cream pedal though.. it was a pretty good boost/ light over drive, but compared to the Archer or the Dude it just didn't hold up. The Dude is very versatile.. it can get a compressed sound or nice mids or a good beefy low end boost and it has a ton of volume boost if needed. I personally stack my Archer into the Dude.... that sounds amazing. J Rocket is making some really great stuff.

@shaunm1983 7 лет назад

Sweet cream sounded surprisingly good

@joeyserra9103 7 лет назад

I loved this type of video. Would love to see more content like this

@tommycox9411 4 года назад

I will definitely purchase the looking glass.

@larsolufsen 7 лет назад

I couldn’t hear the pedals over that BEAUTIFUL Les Paul. Holy honeyburst, Batman. That is a looker!

@anthonyellis6524 7 лет назад

Epic stuff, bring on the long episode with the 40 pedals!

@jasfiona 7 лет назад

Wonderful demo guys. Thanks!

@overdrivemejimmy6847 7 лет назад

Great idea! Keep this!

@snooze0023 7 лет назад

They all sound good but i reckon still nothing beats the classic tube screamer mini for price and sound.

@arvedbohn6133 7 лет назад

0:35 Korg Miku - Perfect for blues solos! ;)

@super_guitar_dude7954 7 лет назад

Great concept lee! i think a high gain list will hit a huge part of your audience as well

@laurensbronsveld 7 лет назад

This video is everything I've ever wanted to see, but more.

@ThatGuy2042_ 7 лет назад

Funny thing, until started watching all these videos on RU-vid telling me what "Blues Tone" was I never heavily associated this type of tone specifically with blues.

@danielveliz6505 7 лет назад

For me the xotic and the looking glass are the best!

@serginhosena 7 лет назад

To be honest, my favourite is the Sweat Cream.I also like the Looking Glass.

@modestd287 7 лет назад

For the money the Sweet Cream is excellent, when I heard the Dude I was like that has to be the best, then I hear the BB and I'm like that sounds amazing hands down the winner and Pete and Lee are like yeah don't really like that one :D

@hanschr1234 7 лет назад

This has my favorite film clip for listening to banjo music.

@DerekHartley 7 лет назад

I love my Sweet Cream pedal. In fact, all of my Tone City pedals.

@PMoisey 7 лет назад

I've has the Sweet Cream for a month and I love it.

@FlesHBoX 7 лет назад

One, Two, Five! Three sir Three!

@olafvanrijnsbergen1177 7 лет назад

We need this for every genre...

@SteveReynoldsGuitarist 7 лет назад

The best blues tone ive ever heard was Bernie Marsden. His PRS se in to a PRS amp. No pedals at all but the sound was to die for

@GavinMorris1 6 лет назад

He sounded awesome with a LP into a Marshall, too. All in the fingers for that guy, I thnk.

@officialWWM 6 лет назад

Those PRS amps sound like pants. I can't even stand listening to Meyer anymore :/

@ethanrummel7638 7 лет назад

For blues the full tone OCD is pretty dope. I have one and it's dope, through a Fender Tweed amp you can get some pretty Hendrix-y tones

@jacksmith4460 5 лет назад

LookingGlass followed by the BB then Dude ,Looking glass is a brilliant OD, all of them were nice though

@taz4965 6 лет назад

Huuuuge improvement in the lead Lee! Getting better every time tune in..

@reaperxi-0382 7 лет назад

do this but with a classic rock tone instead of blues!!

@Jackson0Music 7 лет назад

Get Rabea in and do it for prog metal/djent

@le6637 7 лет назад

That's easy. You just need five metalzones in a row.

@LtFalcon 7 лет назад

Don't forget a DS-1 and a NS-2 at the back

@iceman10129 7 лет назад

He kind of already did that on That Pedal Show

@GraemeCampbellMusic 7 лет назад

Pete is such a great player, I could listen to him all day. And Lee just gets better with every video

@pharmerdavid1432 6 лет назад

I'm glad he didn't spill his coffee on that pretty rug! Me? I just plug into the amp, and that is the sound I love (and mate')! (I do fancy footing on my Vox wha-wha occasionally, and am probably better at that than playing guitar, which isn't saying much, and I admit to having a Vintage 47 clean-boost, but I NEVER use it - usually, and also a fine little Xotic compressor, supposedly to help me sound like Lowell George on slide, but again I NEVER use it - usually....and in the past I went through a few pedals, but never used them - usually. Just plug straight in and get those power tubes cooking, with just a touch of overdrive - no preamp distortion...or PEDALS - usually)

@PeteHawthorne 7 лет назад

Looking Glass and The Dude tie for me. Awesome video and great idea, hope more like this come soon!

@patrickohagan8305 7 лет назад

@rowanwills9698 7 лет назад

We need a video of Danish Pete and Captain Anderton comparing all their favourite blues licks ;)

@stoneysdead689 Месяц назад

Here's the thing- these all sound great but, Caline makes a 30 dollar pedal called the Pure Sky that imo is as good or better than anything on the table here. It's a Timmy clone I hear, and it sounds just like it so- I don't doubt it, but whatever, all I know is it sounds great, it's 30 bucks, and they're super easy to find. It's developed a cult like following here on RU-vid- it's really popular. The only low gain drive I ever had that beat it was the Wampler Tumnus deluxe, but you're talking 150-200 bucks for one of those. The drive doesn't sound that much better, but the Wampler has a really potent eq section on it- which makes it perfect for shaping other drives in your drive section.

@cullenjames7542 7 лет назад

I'm pretty surprised not to see the Plimsoul out there considering how much the Captain uses it.

@GuitarDaan 7 лет назад

Cullen James it's not really a light/mild bluesy overdrive.

@andertons 7 лет назад

Lee loves the Plimsoul but it was too gainy for this video..

@cullenjames7542 7 лет назад

Fair enough.

@greenplasticwateringcan 7 лет назад

Curious if Lee has tried the Jackson Audio Prism... this pedal really sweetens the entire rig. there is nothing quite like it. ive tried everything from a Bondi Effects Del Mar to an Emerson Custom Paramount and a few other Klon-style transparent overdrives, but the Prism just works wonders, especially functioning just as a preamp/clean boost. not sure how he did it but Brad Jackson definitely came up with something very special

@julschong 7 лет назад

New found respect for Lee's guitar skills :)

@scottbolshazy2074 3 года назад

Love the Captain! We r very similar in how we chop up the 6. Not gonna lie, I think Pete is a lil stronger at running the pedals and exacting the levels from each pedal. Pete seems to have an ear for od pedal sweet spots. Love you Captain! Pete, run those knobs when LA plays so we can use ur ear!,,,

@Corster 7 лет назад

Honestly curious why I never see the MXR M77 mentioned? I know there are a bazillion ODs out there, but this one is special.

@jjjohnson1512 6 лет назад

Corster was wondering same thing it's a great overdrive pedal and not a lot of $$$.

@niloayer 7 лет назад

i use a mufulletta into a bd2 into a metal zone for dirty, jive-y blues... quite like it. cheers

@musicplaylists59 7 лет назад

on the solo at the end I actually thought the sweet cream sounded best surprisingly as it's by far the cheapest, but when they were playing them on their own I liked the lightspeed best
