Dude. That opening jam is such a great example of how to use a song to demo a pedal. Killer playing + writing, great tones, fun guitar variety... You nailed it in every way!

I forgot what I was watching and was mad when you started talking. That’s how much I was invested in that intro. Great playing.

One of the most enjoyable intros I’ve ever heard or watched. The variety of pickups and guitars was genius as well. Phenomenal playing! Just ordered a protein yesterday. Thanks to you! Cheers!

It's cool to see this pedal catching on. I got mine about a year ago and it earned the velcro immediately.

Surprised there aren't more views/comments. Fantastic intro and playing, great content. Cheers!

I find myself replaying all your videos just for introduction music. Lol so good man!

Smashed the like as soon as that Strat came in on the intro... Butter!

I’ve owned one for quite a while now and learned two main things that make it exceptional: It’s very versatile and has a lot of great sounds without overpowering your core sound. It also works very well with every amp and guitar I own, and that’s unique to me. Totally useful pedal.

Man that’s one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve heard in a while. Bravo

That overdrive bridge pickup tone with the gretsch and the green side was godly

Friend! Your videos are soooooooo amazing. From the mix, transitions, content, and you just being you!! Just subscribed

Came for the pedal, stayed just to hear you play! Awesome playing man

Great review. Also wanted to say that I really enjoyed listening to your demo.

Awesome production values, and wow, great sounds and playing man! outstanding...makes me want to try one :O

Holy moly. Fantastic demo, playing, sounds!!!!

Dude, great video and great playing! Thank you.

I love my Protein. I also was very impressed by your playing and the tones you got out of all of your different guitars.

Nice presentation of the pedal, and enjoyed your playing and your c commentary. Thanks

Awesome video, great tone, thanks for this fantastic demo.

Great demo. Great playing man.

Wow=great tones/demo/playing! thank you sir!

Mate you’ve got some sick tones and runs 🤯👏🏼

Had mine since it came out. Played a long time, tons of od pedals like most of us. This my favorite, followed by my Boiling Point. I play old to new country in a band almost weekly, so I use all three levels. Love it.

Wow! What a great review and unbelievable playing! You are a natural at this.

Great pedal, great playing. If you have the V2.2, you can run use internal dip switches and TRS cables to run the two sides truly independent of each other.

Great playing on the intro. Very clean and tasty lines. Nice Tones. I finally have an amp that I really like the Tone(s) of…Dr Z Z28. On its own, it has pretty perfect clean and breakup? You can dial in tight Tweed/Brownface/Blackface tones, and points in between with ease. As much as this type of pedal helps dial in a great sound, I use Fuzz for higher gain color…I think I just need a boost? I have a JHS Morning Glory, but may just pickup a clean boost? Playing out with unknown back line is a different story? Truly is a Golden Age of Pedals right now!

Thank you Thank you Thank you for using both a Gretsch and then a tele with a Filtertron! So underrepresented in demos. Lovely playing too!

Brother, a little late to the party but I clicked on to hear a review of this incredible pedal ……and got lost in one of the more beautiful, lyrical and soulful playing I’ve heard in a while. Thank you brother. ✌🏾&💜

Great intro! Such a musical piece.

Great sound and great tasteful playing! This is exactly the demo I need to convince my better half. 😉

Late to comment here - but I love your demo and playing! I've now got two Proteins and I can say this pedal is a game changer. Very easy to get musical tones at any settings. I also have a Nordvang '83 that I really enjoy the BB side of - a different, but awesome take on that circuit as well. I'd love a KOT but its 4 years out unless I would be willing to pay much more and really I dont need that with the great tones I'm getting already.

+1 subscriber. One of the best reviews I’ve seen

Love your playing! Just discovered your channel!

Ben, I see genuine emotion on your face, and in that truth is strength and life. thank you

Nice review... well done.

Thank you! Great video and playing! Cheers

Beautiful playing. Great sounding pedal.

Lovely tones and feel, well done.

Gorgeous demo and absolutely gorgeous White Falcon. Subbed.

Wow, man! How am I just now finding your channel??!! Amazing opening song, fantastic review!! Loved the video, thank you!! Subscribing! Godspeed, young man.

man, i love your playing. full of feel, no over playing, great way to let the pedal shine. sounds amazing.

Love all of it Ben.sounds amazing.

Great playing and tones man! Damn!

Great demo!!

Awesome intro song Ben! 🔥🔥🔥

wow! great playing and great tones

that was superb.....I'd love to know what your signal chain was to your interface for this video; the sound quality is fantastic and what I'm striving for always on my own channel......

Great sounds man!

This pedal has gained longevity for sure in my studio, it does everything I need it to do. I find myself running my Bjfe Honey Bee in front of it and a compressor then slight delay last in the chain (Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay for a little airy openness). This combination into my 65 Black face Deluxe Reverb Celestion creamback sounds amazing, single coils as well as dual coils. It's transformed my Fender amp into a more versatile tool, need to hook my Super Reverb to it next. I find this pedal works best with lower output pickups.

Man this is epic stuff! Sub'd. Curious - what's your camera setup? Looks stunning!

thanks for the review, total talent bro 🤘

sounds just like my Joyo pedal, your playing however is the pedal I want! 🤘

Sounds great when you play it! I haven't been too impressed with the Iridium but it sounds marvelous in this demo. I'm covered for Bluesbreaker & ODR-style drive pedals but the Protein seems like the business.

Hello Ben, that's a really nice video thank you! was wandering, which delay are you using together with the protein?

Killer tone man! I just got an iridium. Do you mind sharing some of your settings? This is the best I’ve heard so far out of it. 🔥

man great video, you know what hell your doing really

My next pedal. Love duel overdrives. I’ve played this pedal and the hype is well deserved.

Great video!

Just bought mine and I’ll leave my thoughts when I receive mine!! Ps great video!!

such a lovely playing !

That white Strat sounds amazing. What pickups are in it?

What a great intro!🔥😍

hey bud nice playing, having had the nobles and the snouse black box 2 i was septical in getting one. but stacked together it has a thing that i cant seem to get from the nobels and black box. i like it i was there was option for trs for switcher options other then that its great. what are you setting on the iridum sounds mintay !! sub and liked cheers

Great Jam and Review! What amp are you playing through?

Amazing sounds and awesome intro song. What amp/modeler were you using?

Awesome playing great Sounding Pedal

Thought there were three zeros missing on that view count. Amazing video and amazing playing!

You are a very good and sensitive player!

I want one of these except why the side jacks?!? Ugh they should have done top jacks!! Love your playing!!!!

Nice way to open with that Gretsch! and that Tele Cabronita is the real "little goat" here. :-) Is the location of the jacks on top the only change to their v3 model?

dawg ur playing is stupidly good

bravo on the intro--nice phrasing

Seems I’m late to the party.. Great intro. Playing all the notes that matter. Very nice.

this was just amazing! what amp were you playing through please ?

Wow that opening song is awesome! What reverb are you using in the demo part of the video? It sounds really good.

That stacked tone is sublime! I love it! Although, I would like a pedal where that is the low gain side tone and there is a second even higher gain side. Any suggestions?

❤I want to clip your demo and put it on repeat for the day

Hey, great Demo! What are the pick ups on your epiphone (Gibson Les Style)? Thanks!

Love this demo! Amazing playing! Around 4:50 the delay sounds just gorgeous- what pedal is that?

Sounds awesome! Convinced me to grab one. Saw on another comment that you’re running it into the irridium - any idea what amp modes you were using on it (especially the intro jam, that was great).

Sounds great. Would the blue side work great as a solo boost for other pedals (and the green side) at end of the chain?

Hey man, I hope you're still seeing these comments. I really enjoy your playing and your reviews.

Wow that slide playing was nice

I run the Protein into a RYRA klone. My Lord, it is a glorious noise. Strat, Lollar pickups, Boogie Fillmore 50...makes me emotional.

The opening jam is such a kind of beautiful ... Very tasty!

I hit like and subscribe as soon as the first opening slide notes hit. Great sounds throughout the video, and now I’m intrigued to try this pedal.

One of the best pedal reviews I’ve seen. How do you think the protein compares to the JHS double barrel? Wondering if it’s worth the change

Fuck me the intro playing! Your channel should be huge!

Is the demo track available anywhere? It’s fantastic. I went with an Unobtainium on my last pedal safari but I’d still like to try the Protein out.

Amazing tone man! Wow! Well... if I get one, i'll tell my wife it's your fault 😉 really good playing, bravo! Ciao!

I'll save you trouble, the pedal is GOAT. Having said that, this video is great and the tones are fantastic.

Intro song is amazing as is your playing

Talking about dual overdrives, I bought the Protein V3, the Tone King Duellist, the Wampler Pantheon Deluxe and a Crazy Tube Hi Power. I like the Protein a lot, but according to my opinion nothing is better than the Duellist, if you like gain. If you like all the nuances you can get on a clean sound, the Protein is better. The right side has a reasonable amount of gain, the left is the opposite.

Dude, I need to know what is happening with your reverb at 4:50. Is that the Big Sky? Is so, can you share your settings??

I didn't care much for the blue side as my amp already has that. I bought it for the Nobel thing and it was better than Nobel reissue for sure as the original Nobel and the reissue had too much low end. I got a Nordland ODR-C which is built by the original Nobel creator. It is the best Nobels out there, way more tweakability to get it dialed in to any amp big or small.

Very tasteful playing- great that you demo'ed multiple guitars on the same track. I have the pedal on my board as well ( for a year now, replaced a Fulltone Dual drive) and I'm very happy with it. I like the versatility of stacking the drives, but I'm always open to try something else. I have found the Blue Note O/D (J Rockett )has the best (and versatile) O/D for my Suhr at this point, and is on my board as well. Thanks again!

Great Stuff

your playing is very good!cool!

very tasty playing and tone

Got it and eventually went back to my morning glory
