Love this! For as long as I’ve been watching your channel, I’ve always wanted to hear those old fenders get some love. Of course I understand why you’d usually go thru new and accessible amps since you are a store after all. But it was great to hear an old fender this time! Killer tones and fantastic playing! And the Duelist enhances it all that much more! Great stuff guys, cheers

Truly one of the best Strat sounds I’ve heard here on KZfaq and overall. Great playing too. And as stated here, that amp and the player of course accounted for most of the time, but I’ve been wanting to get a hold of this pedal for long. My ToneMaster Super will need to do or now and brings other advantages.

I've heard this pedal (previous version) on another channel and I could never figure out why some people were so excited about it. This video changed my mind completely. This is amazing!!! Off course, the guitars and the Super Reverb don't hurt either, but that's why I would LOVE to hear this pedal and these guitars into an AC30 and/or an AC15, because that's where I live. Thanks for the great video. I've been watching some of your videos lately (they just pop up all the time) and I really like them, so I better subscribe to this channel. Keep up the good work! 😎👍

Love it. In my experience, the closer you get to the equipment the artist originally used, the "better" it sounds, so the Super is a big part of it. Don't need a Dumble. However, the pedal adds that extra element that makes these sounds possible without hearing damage. And of course, the player nailing the SRV style makes it all come alive. Well done.

Ace tones. Got to love the Strat-into-Super combo! If I could be so bold as to offer one piece of constructive criticism, it might be that it'd be good to hear some more basic playing; maybe some slower licks, double stops, chords, differences in dynamic range (pick attack i nparticular). John's playing is great - but the high speed blues licks make for mainly listening to the playing rather than hearing the subtleties of the pedal switches and settings.

Basically there’s everything here, from Hendrix to SRV to the first Mayer… To me this is the best dual overdrive pedal ever made till now… Jesse Davey is such a brilliant and talented “sound reproducer” that makes you actually feel “that” vibration and vibe through your amp!

Amazing video with outstanding players. You should have filmed the pedal from above, to see the settings. But that's my only "complaint" here. But we got the idea of the pedal. I'd never ever need another pedal now. I've gone through a lot of pedals 'till I found this. Although it's not cheap but it was worth every cent. It's on all the time. I use a Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster as my clean boost after the pedal for the extra volume for soloing and use the volume knob alot.

My review for anyone that cares (lol): Received a new Duellist the other day and took the day to compare it to my new Protein dual overdrive. Although I liked the Duellist a lot, I found it to have too much mids and loss of base no matter which EQ settings tried; both of which you don't get with the Protein. For SRV tone, both pedals get you there though theres more gain with the Duellist if that's your thing....just not my thing usually. If I need more gain than when running both sides of the Protein, I use a modded vintage RAT! PS...tested with an original 1964 Fender Super Reverb and then a Fender 1964 Custom Deluxe (vol on 7) using a 1962 CS Fender Strat

I can't speak to the pickup question (although I suspect they're the MF Guitars "Number one" which Peach sell) but they mentioned the amp at 0:49 as being a '66 Super Reverb.

@CleanNOTSerene Жыл бұрын

It would be really good to test these pedals through average everyday amps. Blues jnr, princeton reverb, vox ac15 etc. Not everyone has these killer kind of amps. Lord knows I wish I did. Same with the guitars. How about a player series, vintera, american standard. Just some thoughts.

@davidsisto7694 2 жыл бұрын

Duellist vs. Blues Power question: Would you agree that the BP is solely focused on the SRV/Texas Blues and The Duellist is a bit more versatile to pair with other pedals, even a bit of chorus(thinking of later Gilmour lush solo work), for more variation?.....The Duellist as a "more option" tone shaper?

I certainly think the Blues Power is the best Kingtone pedal for what it's worth too. I've owned (and sold) a Duellist - only sold it to reduce pedalboard space so I basically swapped it for the Soloist in that spot as I never really used side B as the Blues Power does a much better general amp-like overdrive for my money. Best one I've ever come across actually to be honest!

Next, show us your settings, don't just fiddle with the pedal and then show us how good it sounds! You are clearly both very skilled guitarists, but the demo lacked details for me.

Well done vid! Don't see why anyone raves about SRV or Eric Clapton. If you'd want to rave about blues players you could mention Robin Trower, Chuck Dean or Mick Taylor. Hendrix was in his own class but it's nice to hear someone doing his stuff, quite well if I may say so. My favorite guitarist is Ritchie Blackmore but he's in a class of his own as well.
