"Hey Alexa, cut all mids and dime the gain"

Imagine someone at a show yelling Alexa, turn on tuner

@@thedutchdjentleman did you mean turn up treble? Oh my I can just see a whole new generation of auto tunner nightmare stories taken to a whole new level!

Alexa would be a nightmare on a pedalboard. Just imagine "Alexa, more fuzz" comes back as "Now calling the police".

Me: hey Alexa.....thall. Alexa: 101101110110110110011000111

Pffft.....child play. Wal-Mart great value metalzone

😂😂😂

Kirkland Signature would be a rebranded Behringer unit. Members Mark (Sams Club) would be this.

Maybe JHS will step in and make the Kirkland Custom a full pack!

Hells yeah that pedal will match my Kirkland Signature Minoxidil, socks and undergarments.

Repaint it

@@mattterrell4304 or I can just buy a pedal that’s not stamped by amazonbasics

@@TriangleWaveRecords you could totally do that as well. I was just sayin if you wanted it and branding was the only problem, painting pedals are fun

Throw a chocolate orange sticker over it. Sorted.

@@mattterrell4304 this would be a perfect guilt-free stress-free regret-free repaint project.

No doubt. I remember my first guitar was a cheap DeArmond LP import copy that somehow played worse than it sounded. Nowadays $300 can get you a very solid instrument that you can gig with.

@@sendtodevnull1269 - it's funny you should say that; I've been looking for a DeArmond Starfire guitar because I played one about 13 years ago and thought it was great!

@@pabcrane I’ve played some very nice ones but this one didn’t do justice for the brand. Iirc, I paid $150 new for it. It was a solid black lp copy with a single Humbucker in the bridge.

@@sendtodevnull1269 - ahhh, that sounds like a very different beast from what I played.

@@sendtodevnull1269 I bought an LTD for £200 not long ago.. If it was my only guitar, I'd be happy enough. If I'd bought it 30 years ago, I'd still own it, and still use it. In 1990 that was pretty much unthinkable. It would have been a laminate body with miserable chinese hardware. The quality of a Squire (say) tele now, compared to one back then? Forget it.

Absolutely.

I am waiting for Reverb brand pedals....it's inevitable.

@@fortheloveofnoise gonna be confusing lol "get your reverb fuzz, reverb distortion, reverb reverb"

@@fortheloveofnoise It wouldn't be the Reverb brand, they'd probably announce a different division named something that isn't the name of a common effect. Would be interesting though, knowing them they'd probably come up with some crazy ass effects

isn't there already reverb branded stuff? or am I misremembering that?

I didn't check the manual, but I did look around on the amazon product listing and didn't see it mentioned. If i was marketing these id have the info listed prominently.

This is the one reason I come to this yt channel- affords boards

Right? What the hell.

think you missed a 'b' in the third-to-last word! Stay healthy - bless ya

I think buying used version of better brands like TC, MXR, and EHX is the way to.

@@albertplaysguitar I just ordered a TC Electronics Blood Moon phaser. Brand new, £30. Avaliable everywhere... so I ordered from my closest shop (in UK). The saturated market is driving prices way down. I like to spend money just once, and hate a disposable culture. Am glad these cheapo pedals exist though - new toys might just keep a beginner at the fretboard, so...

@@blacktoothfox677 I don’t agree with what you said but I will defend with my life your right to say it that way -voltear 😆

@@blacktoothfox677 I've bought about 4 of that series of pedals: choka, florescence, rusty fuzz, afterglow. They are good pedals, very sturdy. I just don't like the tone suck they produce. They never make my main board. I recently bought an old digitech turbo flange... An amazing buy for $39 used!

Lies, deception, and fraud. No one can fool you.

How is the phase and vibe pedal?

And why TF did they put Amazonbasics on the front of it in the first place. If anyone in marketing really knew guitar players they would realize some people won't buy just because of that. Some comments here confirm that.

Small piece of electrical tape

Just get the Nu-X version, because this is a Nu-X pedal

I run into amps

@@60CycleHumcast Ahh fair enough! Might have to look into a attenuator or something, my neighbors are of the call the cops variety, hence trying to go silent. Thanks :)

@@R3CT0-CC - the JHS black box is meant to be a really good attenuator.

man, i doubt they even put THAT much thought into it!

@@blacktoothfox677 It's money, you'd be surprised lol.

I like your style

Kokko pedals are NUX rebrands. You can open them and find the NUX logo on the circuit boards of both the Kokko pedals and these Amazon Basics ones.

Ok. Cool! But then why do the delays work differently? And it's pretty surprising that Kokko can do that and sell them for less.

@@AmbroseLiuI think the Amazon Basics does have a tap tempo too. It just isn't advertised for some reason, just like with the other rebrands of that pedal. It's not that surprising that they can sell them for so little. They specifically chose to make clones of simple and really old circuits that are easy to mass produce in a factory.

@@ViviSectia I just found it surprising that they could buy NUX parts (if it has their logo, I'm assuming at least those parts aren't cloned) but sell them for less. The tap also seems to work differently. With NUX, it automatically taps, but with Kokko, it requires a 1 second hold first. Though I guess that might not mean different parts

@@AmbroseLiu I think you're misunderstanding. These pedals were made by NUX in their factory. They just changed the brand name that was put on the pedal. Usually when companies do this, it's either because the pedals are factory seconds which didn't pass quality control or someone made a contract with them to also sell them under their another brand name. It's the latter in this case.

And look, I've got handcrafted one-off pedals on my board, but guitar is way too much fun to be embarrassed about having something on your board. Then again, I come from the generation that accidentally made the Hello Kitty Squiers so expensive on the used market: because sometimes using a cheap thing is fun! :D

What's funny to me is to hunt down old and funny pedals like Akai Drive3 Distortion for 30$... Used and forgotten pedals are dirt cheap. This market is huuuuuuge. I feel like paying more 60-70$ for analog pedal is crazy. What you think dude? Stay safe and healthy

@@marekw7562 I mean, I'm a firm believer that if it sounds good, it is good. If your $400 King of Tone brings you joy, then good for you, ya know? That said, I love that idea of finding the forgotten gems. That's rad.

I have one too but I've never used a compressor before. Got any suggested dial settings?

Correct. It is hilarious finding people who hate on these pedals while raving about the nux pedal they didn't know was the same pedal. Excuse me sir, but your bias is showing.

This argument is so overused and nonsensical when you actually consider the context of the entire pedal industry. The fact of the matter is that AmazonBasics pedals are not going to stop people like you or me from buying nicer pedals from smaller builders, because these Amazon pedals aren't meant for people like you and me. Obviously you or I would want pedals that sound better, and have better build quality, and allow us to support smaller businesses - but guess what? Those pedals also aren't $25. So what if Nux sells the same pedals for just a bit more - Nux is making money either way. You think they're creating these for Amazon for free? You know who these are meant for? Kids that can't afford nice pedals, or can't swing that extra $25 to get the Nux branded pedals. Adults that are just getting started on guitar but don't want to spend a whole lot on pedals quite yet. You know what these Amazon pedals enable those people to do? Make the kind of music they want to make. And then guess what happens? Those kids grow up and make more money, and those adults get better at the guitar and want to upgrade - AND THEY BUY OTHER PEDALS. Stop making it seem like somehow Amazon is killing the guitar pedal market, because you're completely missing the point then. We can revisit this conversation if Amazon starts making Strymon Big Sky rebrands that sell for $250, or Helix stomps that sell for $300, cus then you'd have a valid point.

@@real_mrmime9617 Hey Jeff.

@@synth0022 Lol got your argument debunked, and have nothing to say, so resort to trolling lmao

@@real_mrmime9617 You gave an opinion, I gave mine. I don't need to agure my point, everyone already knows what Amazon is like.

Be thankful. They aren't all that.

Well, thats a country that appreciates GOOD engineering...

from my experience with cheap multi effects (zoom g1 , g3) they sound fine but nowhere near a pedal (proco rat , ds1 , mxr distortion+ and inexpensive mooer delays)

Good rates outta of the Roland boxes.... doubt these cheap pedals would do better tbh. Zoom can go suck the tone outta somebody else though... fuck them!

I would prefer pedals over multi efx because the accessibility. Sometimes saving patches can take a while to go to get access to.

Yep. It's getting real.

Or just do political activism to destroy corporations

...yet in most others, as 'douche'? haha no offence meant, stay healthy man

It's been a love hate relationship. But I think I figured some good uses for my TS. The first is to put it in front of a heavier overdrive/distortion pedal or overdrive amp to get that really tight bottom end and crazy pinch harmonics. The second is to use a guitar with humbuckers. It will round out the sharp edges and fizz. I typically keep the drive at a minimum.

@@albertplaysguitar yeah, I'm fine using it as a tone shaper or boost for higher gain. But the gain structure on its own is what I don't like. Basically, Id never use one as a standalone OD.

@@jpizzleforizzle I agree! Although, I did get the Joyo vintage overdrive for my budget board, and I was surprised to find that the gain structure on that, although very much a TS clone, actually fit the bill as a stand alone. Now I wanna check out the Plumes.
