Sir do you teach bass guitar as well?
How old were you when you started guitar
@@victoriadavis675 I heard him say in another video that he started very young because he came from a music family. I don't recall what age he said but I remember he said he was very young when he started.
I'm 25 and held my first guitar a little over a month ago and I can play so much better than my first week. My dad was a big time musical instrument player who played all sorts of stuff by ear but he died when I was a teen and I never learned until now. I've been working hard on on learning correctly, with a bit of theory, not just memorizing song chords. Ive seen guys in their 60s in the comments who just picked up guitar... So it's never too late. Cheers.
No u in Oklahoma
he started when he was 18
Josh from JHS explains this specifically.. you don't put the knobs all at the same position and expect them to sound the same.. because of tolerances in electronic components and in the pots.. play with them until they sound the closest as possible..this is how you do a pedal vs. pedal vs, pedal test.
I like the golden horse , for 20 bucks it’s a steal.
So, indistinguishable in a live band setting.
I have a Golden Horse. It works fine. I love that it has the same logo as a bottle of Remy Martin.
Please dial every pedal to the same audible volume. 12 o'clock on every pedal doesn't mean every pedal has the same volume level, depending on the pot's value and circuit.
The Soul food sounded best on the first look/listen because it was the loudest pedal on 12.
THIS. Dial each pedal to sound the same and at the same volume and compare the difference. Doesn't tell me shit to know the knobs work differently.
@@quailstreetcoffeeroastersm6674 what’s it exactly tell you? All it tells me is that there could be a linear vs. logarithmic pot.
I have the golden horse - cost £12-13 and bloody brilliant!
First of all they all sound very similar.
The Soul food was very trebly and bright. The Klon is not supposed to be harsh at all, just tight.
The Archer was buttery and classy.
The Golden horse was just in between.
It sounds really good.
You should do blind test i'm sure most people would rate the golden horse above the sould food.
Different pots, there are demos where you cannot tell the difference between the soul food and a real klon.
Sounds like a broken reverb spring
you get what you pay for but for 20 bucks I'll take the Golden Horse and spend the rest of the$180 on something else
The archer and the golden horse, the soulfood to much treble and mid boost, no wonder there is so many used, the silver has a problem.
For some reason when he said, “Have you ever seen such a mythical creature throw and ax like a spear” I lost it 😂
As I feel I have gotten decent at my first acoustic guitar (solely thanks to you) I am literally about to leave my house to the music shop to buy my first electric guitar. Wish me luck. I think I'm going with the strat.
Good luck dude. It's so exciting getting your first electric. I remember that so well. And IMO the strat is the best guitar ever so you chose correctly 😉
@@duffman18 thanks, since that post I've bought 5 electric guitars!! lol im not joking. I got a squier strat, Jackson Rhoads, Ibanez JEM, Epiphone Les Paul, and a Washburn sonamaster. Plus 2 acoustic guitars, and a regal dobro (resonator guitar).
I think i have an addiction I need help please lol. I swear to god there's one more guitar I want. This will be the last one I need...
@@the_original_Bilb_Ono Just be careful when it comes to pedals. When I built my board I ended up with about 40 extra pedals. But some of that was like comparison kinda thing and pedal lots that were ridiculous low price. This was pre covid when you still get deals on stuff. Nowadays I couldn't afford to do what I did then. Just on this video, my Meat and 3 modded Soul food was homebuilt and bought used, was only $83. Blows all this away l would bet. Just watch out for G A S. Gear Acquisition Syndrome.
That Mosky Golden horse is amazing just got one.
Great to see man! You know Overdrive always livens and brings the tones to life!
silver horse is very good ihave two mosky crazy tones and four MOskt ty silvers, a very good thing about silver and crasy is that they dont suck, the tone of the neck pickup strat singlecoiled, adding a bit of bass to ones Yamaha Pacifica 112Vs, i use also Joyo US Dreams, that are midlly jazzy, Ive never had tried the crazy tone , but ive got two of them too, MOSSKYs are great!!!
Soul food sounds really good, but that golden horse ain’t so bad at all.
I like the Soul Food but the Archer is always a bit warmer it seems. Both great.
Golden horse all the way, but Klon's are generally used to add to you're already gainy sound. It just takes it over the top. Wish you would have got some gain on your amp and then added the pedal.
You are so right !!
Love my Soul Food pedal! Im looking at getting a wah pedal next. I'd love to see a wah comparison!
Well done Marty, Awesome Comparison 🎸🕺
If I'm not mistaken,the golden horsey doesn't have two sounds but the silver horse has two modes if you hit the mini switch
A cool tip about Mosky !!! Replace IC 7660 by the original 1044 and get a very creamy and round sound like the best Klons Centaurs.
Great shout outl! And it's a 1 dollar component to solder in.
Will get a golden horse and try this.
Great idea...
@@ithemba How did it work out?
@@wrathpsp got some before and after recordings and my memory, well knowing about the power of confirmation bias.
I'd say it makes a difference but smaller one like you'd imagine.
Adriano riusciresti a spiegarmi meglio? Posseggo il mosky come faccio la modifica?
Would love to see more of this style from you on gear demos!
I’m looking into getting a Vox ac15 and heard that Klon-style pedals were the way to go. Perfect timing
No one ever talks about the NUX Horseman? It has silver and gold modes, they don't make you buy two pedals for a slightly different mode!
Gee Marty, are you spying on me?
I just bought a Soul Food yesterday for $40, sounds killer!
I had the same Heritage you have but left handed.. Hard times had me selling it.
Klon model on my hx effects is absolutely killer
6:15 There's a serious hum in that pedal.... 🤔 Never heard that with mine. I own the two Moskeys and the Soul Food. Right now the Golden Horse is on my board, as a trebleboost for when I'm using humbucker guitars. Little gain, no volume boost and treble on say 1 o'clock. works great. The Silver Horse died way too soon, something burned inside. I might get me another one to use on a second board. I love the fact that they are so small.
BTW, doing a shoot out and setting all the knobs on each pedal the same way isn't the right way imho. Try to find the best sound in every pedal and then compare. Like setting all the tonecontrols at 12 doesn't mean the brighter soundig pedal is actually brighter. Pots aren't all the same, even if they have the same value. And also use the volumepot on the guitar, each pedal can respond very different to that!
i liked the Moskies a lot on single notes
Hey Marty, thank you for the pedal wars video. Thought the soul food sounded great
I thought the soul food sounded the best
what do you do for a song if there is a bar chord but your fingers aren't strong enough
I think his silver horse was defective. I've got one and there's definitely no 60 Hz hum. Not surprising there are quality control issues. But if it's not defective it sounds very good.
Thanks for the comparison. Reverb doesnt sound very good though. You should do one on reverb pedals. :)
I have a golden horsey on the way! Recommended by my son!
The Archer rules, I really like the Archer/Gold Horse combo.
I bought the Soul Food the first day it was available and love it.
I wanted something a little smaller to fit on my board better.
My last few pedals I bought have been mini pedals. Nobels odr-1, Rowin Dumbler and One Control Super Apricot OD. I think you made my pick a little easier between the Gold and Silver mini. Thanks for the comparison 🎸🎶😀
I played a Gold and Silver Klon my friend owns three early models.
I put them through the paces and in the end It was nothing special, sure it sounded clean and had good drive but not for hype in the price.
Archer Overdrive #1 (more dynamics)
Bought soul food. Has plastic pot shafts. Broke one off. Bought another (gluten for punishment) same thing. Both within about 3 months. Finally went for Archer which I liked better but did not want to spend the money. That was about 5yrs ago it is still going strong and sounds great
Hey Mr. Marty
I have the silver cheapo fake klon, it was 2 dollars more. So I got the silver cheapo. In what manual it had, it said that that little extra switch was to make it sound like there golden cheap one. Of course I will not pay the price they want for a real klon, because I could get a P.R.S. core for that. I tell you I was more then surprised how good it sounds, you have to twick it a little to find the sweet spot. Been playing guitar for 40 years and it's staying on my pedal board, it sounds awesome, at least on my rig. It's definitely the cheapest pedal on my board, and I love it. I have bought other Amazon's cheap pedals and they were terrible, but I'm telling you the silver klon clone is pretty damn good take care.
I had a Soul food! Got rid of it - didn't like the mid-range boost thing it does. Got a Timmy, and love it!
I like soul food most. Mosky not bad for the price
Hi Marty another great video :) keep up the great work and thanks alot for helping all of us who aint that good or they just started playing on guitar and find your videos really helpful :) thanks and I know i ask too much and its a easy song but a kool song but if u run out of video ideas could you do a video of Jack Savoretti - Soldier eyes
Just ordered the Mosky. Thanks!
Gear Thursday time!
They all have different volumes on the same setting so maybe they will all sound similar at the same volume and a bit of tweaking because while there’s a big volume difference there is a huge tone difference between these pedals
You are the man of music. You are the one.
Well done Marty!! Do America by razorlight!🙏😅
Paid $13 bucks on Ebay for the Golden Horse last week. Came with free shipping.
Hey Marty nice video keep up the good work I’m just trying to keep you let up some John Mayer songs that would really make my day for the video I appreciate it
Good Klon clones have a higher voltage inside the pedal than those cheap ones. Usually 18VDC just like the original. No mention of the awesome buffer in the Soul Food either! I run a Tumnus deluxe as a drive and a Soul Food as a clean boost. It’s a great, cheap pedal. Great video.
EHX Soul Food has been on my pedalboard since it came out...works well with a boost or stacking it with either a distortion or another overdrive pedal...
What’s your settings on the soul food when pairing it with a higher gain OD? Sorry I’m 3 years late 😂
@@hmhj555 maybe this will explain it better than me…. ua-cam.com/video/MOGW9Bm4gcw/v-deo.html
The golden had a fuller sound , more low depth , the soul food had the hotter highs , you can turn them down , tone knob, more to work with ! how i see hear it , the Archer highs sounded like the golden horse but darker version of soul food . the silver , the one i have has the 2 clipping modes , diod's or led's for a louder less compressed boosting of amps for added versatility, personally i prefer the EHX ! i'm more into that early Marshall overdrive tone that i think it gets closer to.
I've been eyeing the Soul Food for a while now.
The centaur on the Golden Horse is throwing a Halberd(an axe & spear in one). IOWs, The elongated point acts as a spear. (Don't feel bad, someeone had to correct me too). Cheers!
You got more licky with Archer...
love that Heritage !! .. bet You do too :)
Love your music
U should make a how to play the princess bride theme vid next
Um..........yes..................
Can you please do Save My Soul by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy without capo lesson :)
Also soul food is the shizzle
Lovely guitar!
Of course the original is the best, but the soul food is the best one of the clones, in my apinion
Malte Schulz-Kr. Which is the original?
@@Abby-yj3jh its not on the video
You need to set your amp on Verge of breakup
I’m sorry for saying this but... I have been playing since Christmas, and I have played every day (literally) and I still haven’t learned a song. I keep learning intros to songs (paranoid,stairway,Ironman,I walk the line, ring of fire, etc) amd I try learning the verse parts and I just can’t. I know how to strum, kind of know finger style, I have really clean and nice sounding chords, but I just can’t learn anything. It’s too hard for me to follow the videos, and I can’t follow tabs. It’s really making me not want to play and I don’t know what to do. Any advice Marty or anyone else? And thank you in advance
This is part of the journey EVERY guitarist goes through. All the greatest guitarists ever were once at the same point you are, frustrated and wanting to quit. It's up to you. Learning guitar will be hard, there's a lot of stuff you have to learn like how to read tabs. It's hard work. But if you keep at it, you'll reach a point where playing the guitar is an absolute joy and feels so fun and amazing, you end up playing every day because it feels so so good, rather than at the beginner stage where it's not fun at all and everything seems too hard.
But again, every single guitarist ever, even the best ones, were at the same point you are, and they chose to continue on rather than quitting.
If you keep practicing daily, the proficiency WILL come, I promise you. Don't have a deadline like "I must be able to play guitar by this day". Just practice daily and eventually you'll be able to play whatever it is. It'll just eventually become easy, so don't go searching for that ability, just practice daily and let it find you. You'll never know when it'll find you, but it definitely will
You'll look back and laugh at how you thought all these things were ever hard to play. By then you'll be playing much harder stuff
It's all about discipline, remember that. Make sure to never miss a day of practice. Hendrix for example wore his guitar round his neck 24/7, constantly playing even when cooking, cleaning, watching TV or whatever. Now you don't have to do that but just make sure to do it every day
duffman18 thank you man. I’ve already improved since I posted this (I learned all of stairway with the solo too) and I never quit
awesome lesson thank you! Please do a tutorial on a Tash Sultana song when you get the chance
Soul Food no. 1
Can I request self estem by the offring
Nice shoes Bro! :-)
Is it me, or did the Soul Food have a thinner sound with less body than the other ones?
Can you please do more SRV
I’m looking at your cables. Do cables matter (like Mogami)? Thanks.
Get the george l's or some no name usa made brand at your local store with flat plugs.
Love my EHX Soulfood! KLon Clone, KLon Clone, KLon Clone say that 5 times FAST!
IMPOSSIBLE!
@MartyMusic “ inconceivable!!!!”
Hey Marty I have a question do you mind doing a guitar lesson on a song called Autumn Run by Tinsley Ellis please
i think the golden horse has more mids i think but it's good. i will get one soon.
Another vote for the soul food.
Is there a BOSS pedal that could be close to the Klon sound?
First. Thank you for switching with your actual FOOT, the way they are intended to be used. That finger pushing of the switch triggers me into HULK MODE!!!!
HULK SMASH TINY HUMAN FINGER!!!
Pipe down, Francis.
My pedal board stays on top of my amp.
It's more practical for selecting knob and switch menu settings.
Plus there's never any risk of treading dog shit
on my pedals..
It was bad enough cleaning cow manure dust off everything
after playing a summer festival on sun parched farm land...
Its the Soul Food for me.
However the smaller ones , would fit perfectly , next to the Marty Looper!
Stone Roses . Fools Gold. would be a great song on the (MARTY LOOPER)?.
Just a thought?
The Klon KTR is still available in the $250-$300 range, isn't it? I think that's what I paid for mine from Riff City Guitar Outlet. I'd love to hear it compared to the Ikon Archer and Soul Food.
Please do Hero by family of the year
Just bought one on wish for like 80 bucks, I'm interested to see how it sounds
What’s the different between the Golden Horse and the Silver Horse in all aspects
the silver has 2 clipping modes switch (voice)
Amazing tutorials ...you’re an amazing teacher ...can you pls make a tutorial video on the song portals from avengers endgame??..pls ..it’s an amazing song
It sounds shitty..sorry. Klons must be used with overdriven amps!
Cool!
I like the soul food.!!!
You should do a lesson for not like us by Brantley Gilbert.
Soul Food or Archer sound brighter and are at the same level to my ears...
But the 2 other pedal sound good for the price...
Hard to make a decision !
But who still wants to pay 1500$ rather then 80$ or even 10$ for quite the same thing ???
Cool beans
EHX for the win
Can you please do a lesson for heat in the moment by noel gallagher
You left out Providence !
or
maybe not cheap enough ..??
There are SOOOO many Klon clones, it was hard to fit them all in this video.... maybe there's a part 2??? Thanks for the support!
Golden horse + demon tube screamer = Tones on a budget
You know, the german word for 'clone' is 'Klon'
Ah, good piece of knowledge! Thanks for the support!
Keep chasing that tone dragon...
It's so close, yet so far....
Hi Marty I love you can you please do the killer queen solo I whould love
Hey Marty
Hey Steve
Hey Marty
silver vs golden mosky???
Is the Silver the same as Golden, but with 1 additional variation ("voice")?
If so why buy the Golden?
