Ultimate Overdrives Part One 

2:20 EP Booster 10:00 Beano Boost 15:02 Blues Driver 20:12 King of Tone

That huge room and the acoustics! I just wanna crank and hear the natural reverb.

This is the quality of sound that the Andertons guys should aspire to .I am listening to this on a Bose companion 5 computer audio system and the sound is stunning i can feel every note and chord. Well done done guys great video !!

The Blues Driver might just be the best all around pedal ever made

Thank you for panning the mics... makes it so much better through headphones :)

The AC30 sounds very very nice!

That is the best 25.30 minutes I've spent on You Tube I now want a JTM45 WOW thanks guys a great demo

Dan is just GENIUS IN ALL PEDAL CONCEPTS even everything.

These are among the best analyses of guitar pedals I've seen: slow, deliberate, incremental; exactly how I experiment with gear. Very helpful. Thanks!

I always look forward to your reviews. Thanks for being objective and demonstrating multiple guitars/amps so we have a better idea of how it will respond to our own equipment.

Great video but all I could think was "let's hear it through the deluxe".

Another amazing video, the passion and detail you guys describe the tone and how everything works with each other is truly great thank you for your videos

Fantastic demo guys! Cheers! I can't wait to see the next one!

Gee how things have changed from 2019 vids, the aesthetic that is, content remains brilliant and informative as always.... Thanks guys. Cheers Marty from Melbourne

I love everything about this vid!... Cant wait for part 2!..

This is my favorite video that these two have done.

I visit this video frequently just because it has some of the best guitar sounds I've ever heard in it

I love how Mick is trying really hard not to grin like a school boy in a toy shop.

That room sounds amazing, the amps aside, that room is making the whole thing sound so sweet

These guys and The Pedal Show are a Godsend!! They have helped me immensely to build my pedal board and choose the appropriate pedals for the sound(s) I desire. Kudos to Dan and Mick. Vic here!!!

Great! Enjoyed the watch and great to see you both having fun!

great video guys, love the way you record your sound, I can get a really good feel for the tones through my headphones.

Oh my! Glorious tones, all of them, but the Tele/KoT/Marshall combination was awesome! Great video.

Man! these guys really make you want all of these different instruments and tools, they are VERY persuasive!

This video (along with the supplement from Guitarist mag which brought me here) has just re-ignited my passion for the electric guitar again (my attention/dedication span comes and goes for some annoying reason)... Got that lovely funny feeling in my tummy again making me yearn to crank my Strat and get these gorgeous tones filling my world. Have instructed the wife to get me a Blues Driver for chrimbo. Great work guys, so informative. Many many thanks!!

That settles it.... I need to buy a warehouse to play in.

This is my dream job. Well done, guys.

I just literally laughed out loud with joy when he hit the first chord with the Les Paul with the Beano Boost.

You guys just don't do a bad show! Loved the spacious room setting.

jesus that strat.... gets me everytime

love your playing the blues man

i love the joy these 2 get from pedals....

Best video ever! So much useful & informative. Thank you guys!

Every time I see this video back after some years I keep learning things ;) amazing guys

thoroughly enjoyed that video.you two guys are great together.very informative and makes me wish I was in the room with you if it sounded that good on my speakers I can only imagine the room sound- I had the pleasure recently of playing a collectors choice Les Paul thru a JTM 45 combo at breakup levels and there is nothing like it-having that Analogman would have been icing on the cake

Look at our boys! They look so young

Dan & Mic Thanks so much for your information ,it’s so valuableI continue to learnYes, I just purchased a king of tone !

I love that ES-335!!! =) Usually i never use an OD, playing with my tone and volume knobs on my Gibsons into a cranked amp (18 Watt Plexi, Dlx Reverb or Transatlantic) is all i need. But i still love to watch your videos! Keep up the good work.

No "cork sniffing",but your letting the amps "breathe"...fucking love it.

Just what I needed, eaiting for part two

Love the sound of a Tele! The strat had some buzz noise in the clean position. Love the amps. Nice demo, guys. Cheers

Lester, King of Tone and JTM-45, heaven!

My Oh My That 335 sure nails The EC Cream tone's. Nice demo guy's.......

i need more than one opporunity to like this!!!! fantastic so helpful and thorough

I freaking love this! More!!!

these tones is givin me the vapors

For years I have been playing the Little Green Wonder with Suhr pickups thru my twin silverface, but I needed more drive so I started looking for the best "blending" pedals if you will, so I bought the Moxon 808 and placed it before my Little Green. The 808 really enhances the distortion.

Good lord all of them sounded great. Those amps, man.

Awesome video guys, keep them coming!

Strat into EP Boost into AC30 is butter

That AC30 sounds spectacular with everything. I wish that I had bought one a long time ago. All these years I’ve been a Marshall and Fender guy. Didn’t know what I was missing.

gain pedals gain pedals gain pedals gain pedals!!! also love the dual amp setup, Mick and Dan, huge selection of pedals... best channel on youtube

18.36 what a tone!!! Perfect. Money couldnt buy a better tone:)

Great video! I have a JTM 45 Reissue also and very curious about the settings in the video. These guys are spot on about the excess bass, I turn it down completely.

Love my AC30, they sound so great!

The King Of Tone had been on my board since it came out. With it, every amp sounds good.

Love the natural room reverb.

My amp is a BlackStar and I run a Fender Strat with a Seymour Duncan in the bridge. On a clean channel in front of the amp the EP Booster gives a rather distorted muddy sound similar to that of the Marshall in this video. With little rise in terms of volume. When I run the EP Booster through the effects loop I get clear transparency and the volume level spikes to insane levels. Just thought I would put this out here for those BlackStar owners wondering what to expect when combining the two.

@13:09, I actually really liked that EP boost into the Beano boost! :)

Treble booster into EP booster is magical.

The phrase "transparent overdrive" has probably been said more than a million times on youtube. Just a guess.

The vox sounds amazing

wow, great room sound that adds that sizzle over the top.But it must be tough to control.

Best RU-vid channel! Thanks a lot!

What a job to have!

Nice! I need to start watching That Pedal Show haha

Man that EP booster sound is the one i seek for my cleans

THANK YOU for demoing a VOX!!!!!!!!! so hard to find demos with them

great review, guy's actually was a reminder I might want to use my "real" AC30 that has been sitting unused for some 30 years it's also just fantastic that unlike most reviewers you can actually PLAY .. :)

GREAT video!

That Vox is awesome

The surprising thing to me, is that(at least it seems like it...) you guys switch from guitar to guitar and amp to amp without adjusting the settings on the amps or the pedals, and it still sounds great!

Just an update. The EP Booster has dip switches that control the amount of bass that get boosted so if you're not looking for a fat boost you can turn it into a flat EQ clean boost. That said the bass boost is exaggerated in this video. Must be clipping the mic or the older EP had much more bass. Mine just gives a nice fat boost which is great for solos in the upper frets.

This 3 videos series is the definitive bible on Overdrive/Distortion.

I’d love to see you guys go into more depth about buffering and impedance and their impact on tone and how the pedals/circuits work. I’ve only recently become aware of the effects of impedance matching and loading. When I bought an SM7 for my home studio, I also picked up a Cloudlifter Z-i, which also has a Hi-Z input and variable impedance. Shocking what it does to the sound of a guitar or bass (or dynamic mic) when going direct-it just seems to “open” it up, expanding it somehow without being an EQ. Alternatively, at lower settings, it can “dull” or “ghost” the sound (also not EQ). I know there are schools of thought on whether to put a tuner/mute (such as a Boss TU-series) at the front of the signal chain or at the end, due to its buffering properties. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Analogman King of Tone in to Marshall JTM45, with any guitar.....simply WOW!!!!!! What a wonderfully inspiring way to spend 25 mins....thanks to the Guitarist Team and those Pedal Show dudes, I'm in a very happy place right now :)

Great vid. Nice not to have all the banter and back slapping that some videos have too much of. Nice one.

you guys are great

Mick has a WICKED vibrato!

Great video, thanks

Great video, and really nice micked up. Sounds awsomeWhen is the other parts coming? (Videos)

Great great demo!! It would have been nice though if you guys would have included the "naga vipper" by Catalinbread. It's a boost pedal that allows you to adjust the frequencies that you wish to boost. So you basically have a full frequency booster or a treble booster in one pedal. It gives a lot of flexibility and is pretty useful if you have many guitars and different amps in your rig. Cheers!

Thanks & more to come soon, please!

For completeness, the bottom end produced by the JTM is also a function of the cab and speakers. Everything in the signal chain, from fingers to ears, passing by room, mikes, preamps, mix, mastering, your computer, your sound card, the state of your hearing and even the mood you are in contributes to what you hear. And by the way, I've not mentioned all the other variables in the equation. My point? It's as much a science as it is an art and time spent paying attention to what you're doing is the best way to gain knowledge and develop your own tone. Which, by the way, is not a destination...

Dan’s ear is gold.

Great video! Will you guys review sometime the Way Huge Cameltoe maybe? I would love to see/hear that. I like the way Dan explains things from various points.

ive got the klon ktr and i use a marshall origin 20 head thru celestion greenback speaker from 70s.the amp byitself is ok.but as soon as i step on the ktr the amp comes alive i can hear every note coming out of the speaker like 3d sound.and the amp get 3 times louder and clearer.amazing pedal nothing beats it.

dang I've been wanting a king of tone and don't want to spend the money. I have a jtm45, les paul, and tele for my rig. you just forced me to get it. that sounded amazing

The natural reverb is nice. :)

Revisiting this video, I'm reminded how the JTM45 and AC30 are two of my favourite amps, but I would love to know more about the specific versions of JTM45 and AC30 you are actually using.

That Tele into this JTM is the Grail Tone. Wow

Unless they've adjusted the internal dip switch from its stock position, even all the way down to "unity gain" at @5:57 it's still a +3dB boost.

Beano boost is so great.

Daaaamn, that 335!

great video

Brilliant video and insightful as to the wonders of various pedals. Only gripe is this - where is the superstrat and a modern voiced amp? Wonderful as the 50's and 60's stuff is there is a world of tone that has happened since.

Must have watched this video ten times now. Still good. :D

Better than the telly! Where's part two?

Great Vid ... bring on part 2. Any chance of a Rockbox Boiling Point featuring at all?

awesome video, great guitars, great amps, and a selection of great pedals! what speakers were in the JTM cam?
