Great choices here; the Source Audio Zio is definitely underated, either to add gain or add volume to main drives & fuzzes pre or post. Surfy is a newer discovery, and I've used their Spring for a while now.Before that, I used the SA True Spring, which is the only digital emulation I've really liked; I'd still use it anyday, especially live, where it's hard to tell from the real thing. The Stereomaker will soon replace my Orange Detonator, which is great, but doesn't emulate stereo.I was curious about the Brownfacer/Blossom Point, for the presence control and possibly to set the overall level going to the amp at the end of the chain(?).It does have separate input & output levels, which is a surprisingly difficult feature to find.With such effects, you always want to keep noise floor, headroom, and the amount of potential power consumption related in mind.Otherwise, it's easy to end up with this squashed, indistinguishable mess, - in stereo. Another discovery lately has been Thorpy, out of England; if you can't find whatever effect that does it for you, Thorpy probably make it.
Hello Mark, thank you for chiming in with your comments. I'm glad that you found the video interesting and that you like the choices for the pedalboard. Surfy Industries make some terrific pedals. The Blossom Point is not always easy to integrate in a pedal chain. It is best suited as a stand alone pedal to emulate the typical saturation of a Brown or Tweed Fender amp, it's really good at adding that kind of "colour" to any amp. More in general, the Blossom Point adds some dirt and personality to a clean tone. You may be interested in the following episode, where I deal more in depth with the Blossom Point: ua-cam.com/video/ucNGXFJRO5w/v-deo.html I agree, Thorpy pedals look really original and well built.
Thank you Sgall, I'm happy that you like the sound! In the following video BTR#50 (Tone Boosters) I deal more in depth with the Blossom Point. ua-cam.com/video/ucNGXFJRO5w/v-deo.html In this case, honestly I could not say that it makes a huge difference, but definitely it adds some colour and warmth to the delay. More in general, the Blossom Point is great to add some dirt and personality to a clean tone, before breaking up into distortion.
@@BobsToneReview Thanks for the reply. Just wondering do you put it at the end of your overdrive chain or at the end of your whole signal chain ( before going in amp, after reverb)?
@@sgall161 I put it just before Reverb, as shown in the linked video. I'd say that it's not really meant for an interaction with overdrive/distortion pedals but rather to add "color" to a clean tone; even though it's always great to experiment different applications.
Some of these effects shouldn't go into front of amp but in effects loop? Time based effects, delay and reverb? I'm an old drummer 😢..my uncle recorded Duane Eddy's playback from a speaker in a 60 foot deep concrete well, adding reverb..I forget which year, 1957? The song was Rebel Rouser.. Aloha
Wow! Brad, that's amazing! I mentioned that song and recording in episode BTR#47, check it out: ua-cam.com/video/gNLwQu-ErNM/v-deo.html As for your question, my channel is focused on vintage or "vintage-inspired" gear. I only use vintage amps with no send/return; this means that I use all my effects in front of the amplifier, like your dad used to do : )) In episode BTR#50 - ua-cam.com/video/ucNGXFJRO5w/v-deo.html I explain that using effects in front of the amp helps to shape your tone in a more personal fashion; as all the greats used to do. Think of recordings like Misirlou by Dick Dale or Pink Floyd @ Pompei, to only name a couple, where the preamplification of the effects in front of the amps plays a prominent role.

awesome video, the tones were really pleasant

@@BobsToneReview ci mancherebbe,con il grande lavoro che fai per ogni video!!!
Love your sound. Do you find the Blossom Point makes a difference to your sound? And of so, how? Ordered one but not many demos of it online.
