@@Johnnybananass-_ I can't say for certain, I've not tried the original. That being said, it seems to have all the features of the original, so it's not going to be far off, if assume 👍 feel free to indulge in all of the fanciest caffeinated products 😉

@@uncle_ike as stock is good but this is good info to know 👍 Cheers gent

I can't say for certain as I've not tried the phase 95 but the mxr has a few mode settings on it, where this is just an individual phase tone with a few adjustments. It's obviously a bit bulkier than the mxr too, but it sounds great and is solid. I'd happily rely on it at a gig 👍

I can't say for certain, I've not tried the valeton. That being said, the gp100 send very similar to the Matribox and the gp200jr send very similar to the Matribox ii in terms of button layout and IO. In terms of sound quality, there isn't a vast difference between the Matribox I and ii, but the switching and ability to edit are where the II really shines. If you find the switching limited on the valeton, it might be worth considering upgrading. Hope this helps 👍

@@801guitar3 a pronounced high end usually. It's got a sparkly quality to the upper frequencies without being harsh 👍

@@SharpsBox if they are in the same signal chain, you could use them separately to get a British or American style sound. I haven't tried stacking them together but I can't see it being pleasant.

@@MatthewJacobDaniel nah, it's just an aesthetic difference. I believe these were exclusive to the Canadian market too. Thanks so much for the kind words 👍

@@BudgetPedalChap Thanks for the info, you’re a legend! Your channel is in my top 5 favorite pedal channels that I use for research and for sharing with my guitar mates here in the 🇺🇸 ! Keep rockin’ and kicking arse!

@MatthewJacobDaniel thanks so much for the kind words 👍

@@stevendavidson391 they sure are, I'm smitten 🥰🥰

and this one!

@@guitareplayer7141 🤣🤣 me too. I've not managed to try half of those pedals, but I shall try get them in 👍

@@martijn_yt for me, a softer feel to the mid range talks about a specific frequency band within the upper mids. Saying boosts mid is a bit too vague for me as it's not telling you what band within the mid frequencies are being boosted or cut.

@@user-yo6mj3vm9r I don't know exactly, if you contact him I'm sure he'd let you know 👍

Nice playing BPC! That set is Alnico 5 vintage+ wound with heavy Formvar Wire singles. Alnico 2 Kossoff bridge with a Partial split mod. Balanced so the split is Humbucker sits nicely with the singles and gives a sexy boost in full HB mode.

Oh, thank you

@@jjbast funnily enough, I covered a treble boost a couple of weeks back. It would pair excellently with this 👍

@@BudgetPedalChap I would love to see that video please

@@michaelogden5093 aye, it's a deal breaker for some and I can respect that 👍

@@jfiery yeah, it really is a looker huh? Thanks for the kind words as always gent 👍

@@Darrell081 according to Amazon it's ‎9 x 4 x 2 inches

You have to have a bit of fun with these things eh? It does a decent job of getting those tones though, for sure. Yeah, considering they are all hand made, they're still rather reasonably priced and they sound phenomenal. I have a Japanese Ibanez roadster with Fletcher pickups in and it was well worth the upgrade 👍

@@BudgetPedalChap You're twisting my arm now, I'll start budgeting for some upgrades then 😊👍💜😀✌️

@@musoseven8218 good man 👍 money is fleeting, tone lasts forever 🤣🤣 (or that's how I justify it to myself)

@@BudgetPedalChap 👍👍✌️✌️😀😀🤣🤣💜💜💜

@@JasonWharton82 he knows how to make a pickup does our Fletch 👍

@@grahamkelly8299 I dare say the KZfaq compression has done it's work on this. It has compression, as most TS style pedals do but it's more than open enough to gig with.

@@nigelholderby259 I can't speak for others, but for myself it's down to the feel more than it is the sound. I could feasibly gig modelling amps from 10 years ago, but I would play horribly because it wouldn't respond quite like a "real" amp, so maybe that's what the complaint could be here.

@@SteveMavronis the tone rider pickups are fantastic bang for your buck, they'd be a great replacement set for sure. I've not had to open up the back plate myself, but that is a bit of a let down. All in though, great value for money.

@@affordaboard aye, I swear by Fletch. Great service and fab pickups 👍

With my HB + HB system one (contemporary) strat and some electronic up grades soon required 😉 I've loved my two SDs that were fitted circa 1990 (can't recall if I fitted them, or a young lad called Simon Law did), but now I've started dabbling again, listening to others? The SDs are good, but a bit muddy in places (even with my wonky ears). So I could be tempted elsewhere (depending on budget of course)✌️💜😉😊👍 Fletcher's seem to offer a VFM option for boutique type pick ups, the prices seemed reasonable to me🤔🤔

I found that with off the shelf pickups. They sound great until you hear the alternative. Prior to finding Fletch, I had Dimarzio sets in most of my guitars and they've all been changed out for Fletch sets.

@@BudgetPedalChap Understood, that's interesting to know - thank you. Back in 1990 or before SD we're thought of as boutique. I had quarter pounders in my strats etc. Was going to try some EMG active types but availability was limited in the 1980s. I may invest in a set of Fletchers🤔🤞💜😊👍

@@mattquiney8 I've tried em all pretty much and I can concur 👍

@@omarsharif927 I could see it stepping in for a few pedals all at once 👍

@@legatomodi3522 yeah, I'm pretty sure they are almost double that over here. Demon tend to emulate anything and everything too 🤣🤣

@BudgetPedalChap they sure do. I only just found out about them through this vid. I might see what else they got. I dont mind budget pedals if they work and sound good.

@@logancircles8276 I've changed the font with more recent videos 👍

@@BudgetPedalChap thank you. A man of the people. 💯

@@AndrewAHayes it's a great pedal to base your sound on 👍

@@stanleyrimpsonjr it's definitely not condoned, but aye it's happening across the board so I guess you get pretty decent replicas for less cash 🤣🤣

@@hariandjadelapan9 it's massive 🤣🤣

@@BudgetPedalChap maksudnya?

@@hariandjadelapan9 it's a very big pedal, like all of the ones in this TC line. The sound quality is great though 👍

@@BudgetPedalChap oh ukuran pedal nya ya besar

@@leehenderson8132 nux really are making a name for themselves 👍

@@I.M.Guitar-Nerd I didn't try it in stereo in afraid, really sorry I can't help here

@@jamesmarkjackson1979 the rusty fuzz is a trusty fuzz 🤣👍

@@BudgetPedalChap I think I'm going to try it. I've had an EHX Satisfaction which is a Boss tone clone and a Moore Germanium fuzz face clone, a Rowin Frenzy which I think is Muff circuit. The only 2 types left to try is a Tone Bender and silicon Fuzz Face like the Rusty Fuzz.

@@oldasrocks9121 absolutely, it's insane how they are putting these out at the price they are

@@kimmolingonheimo indeed, great overdrive 👍

@@leehenderson8132 that's what they are aiming for at least. What was it that didn't quite hit the mark for you?

@@j.powellnetwork I shall have to see if I can get one in 👍

@@kingstumble that's really good to know. I've not tried one of the originals. I'm sure he'll have them back in stock before long, in fact, I'll be sending this one back next week so this will be back in stock at some point 👍

Do they sound identical?

@@guitareplayer7141 No. The Zendrive is smoother and "glassier". It's what I would call a clean overdrive if that makes sense. But the Tai Ji is definitely one of the better clones.

@@SidBonkers51 they usually have a pressure switch under the expression, so you put a bit of force into the exp pedal and it'll switch on the wah mode 👍

@@BudgetPedalChap Yes they do, dont they and that was my first thought but no there is no switch, if its possible at all I assume it has to be done in the app and there is a 'thing' in the footswitch section that has different fields (whatever ther are) but I cant work it out and it could just be that is a section for an additional expression pedal, maybe, possibly...... I even googled it and failed, I just got links to the Manual but not to a particular section and I cant find anything in there about a wah other than the ones in the Modulation section of pedals like the Auto Wah and wth is Wah UK? a special wah for us Brits? TBH Ive given up with it now, I think ill probably buy the NUX MG-300 or MG30 as I think they look easier to use.

@@SidBonkers51 I am sorry I couldn't help further gent. Fingers crossed that you get some more luck with the Nux 👍

@@saysrta cheers for watching 👍

@@saysrta cheers, I agree that they are fantastic 👍

@@andybushell4423 I've not featured the z drive yet, I'm sure it'll make it's way onto the channel before long. Unfortunately, this one will be going back to affordaboard before then as I get the on loan to demo 👍

@@Zetamen7 yeah, they really are leaning hard into the M series. I'm glad too, they've all been pretty great so far 👍

@@brotherhawk3228 it straddles the line between vintage and ethereal for me. I hope you enjoy it 👍
