Great demo Bea! I am a HUGE Homme fan. I chased his tone for ages. Once even got my hands on an old Ampeg VT22, but it needed more TLC than I could afford, and was waaaay to loud and heavy. I settled on a Catalinbread SFT MkII. I boost it with a mid humped EQ & a Bad Monkey set to clean boost and viola! First 3 QOTSA albums all day thru a clean amp, and having two boosts makes the pedal act like a three channel amp. I have an Agile LP setup for standard C, and I am now a happy fanboy: ) Cheers!

What a straight forward and honest pedal review. I also really appreciate that you spend actual time (15-30 minutes) with the thing for us to see the evolution. Too many times pedal review videos are ~5 minutes and half of that is the intro logo, the outro, and some b roll of the packaging. I've never heard of Stone Deaf before, but I want this pedal now. Keep it genuine man!

The pdf 1 didn’t have a gain or volume control, which is the version josh homme uses. The pdf-2 is the pdf 1 with the clean dirty foot switch and gain knob. The pdf-1x is the pdf-1 and pdf-2 combined just with the gain changed for vol, so with the stock gain setting it will give you Qotsa! Because it’s pdf -1 with pdf 2 features 👍🏻

I'm loving mine and with the two-notes in there, man are we blessed. Keep on ripping brother. Yew! Stone Deaf sounded amazing through that amp. On a side note...I played a show with Josh when he was in Kyuss years ago. Saw him in QOTSA and couldn't figure out why he looked so familiar. ha. The circle of music. Peace Rabea.

Love mine, and boosting the low mids at times. Sounds great if you keep it on and gainstage it. Doesn’t sound like a pedal is on, and helps green muffs cut, as well as a Rat sound huge! I find it’s best running into anything dirty to really hear the effect! My case pedals, Sky King amp and an Ampeg VT-40. One thing that should be stated in the manual if you aren’t familiar with mixing…is that if you push the height knob over 1oclock or so, you will get a perceived bigger volume boost. But that’s what EQ does like this, and in the mix world usually that’s a thing before just pushing the volume up or down. Love the pedal! My only detractor is the proprietary expression. It’s big and would love to use my own smaller one. I also removed my BLuesBreaker pedal, and put my Microamp at the end of my chain. This pedal covers a few things with less need to tap dance for me.

Man, I can't decide between this and the Q Boost... They both sound great in demos and they both clearly have the Queens vibe I'm looking for. My worry is that with the PDF I'd spend more time fiddling than playing, but it (seemingly) offers so much more options to sculpt your tone. I tend to be picky about gain sounds so maybe I should go for tweakability over simplicity.

I have a Sunn Model T preamp pedal that works great as a cleanish amp, which I can use instead of The Countess. All the other pedals I would need to buy.

Hey great tones! However, there's something puzzling me... everybody seems to think Josh Homme was using the pdf 1x on riffs from "songs for the deaf" or "lullabies to paralyze"... however, the pedal did not even exist until aroun 2009 as far as I read from stone Deaf, so how is that possible? Did he use the Maestro Parametric Filter and then replaced it with the PDF once it came out? Or did he just use different pedals...
@mattg082 6 ай бұрын
Live he still uses the MPF in 2024…it’s hidden behind his amp always on. Probably as a secondary amp sound. Then the pdf up front for tonal changes. Thing is his tone is the just one part. I find having my Ampeg cranking the tubes makes it shine, or a Rat or Muff. But he used the MPF and later replaced it with the PDF up front. The MPF got moved to the back of the amps, and seems he uses a ABY. He’s got 4 VT40s on stage. But I believe 2 are amps and the other 2 are just extension cabs with the 4x10 or two 2x12 all painted red.
