    One thing to consider with more expensive pedals is that the part tolerances are usually smaller than on the budget pedals, so you're more likely to get consistency in the pricier pedals. IN GENERAL, but not always. That said, today's budget pedals are really damn good, compared to 20 years ago.

    • @markhammer643
      @markhammer643 3 роки тому +4

      While any doofus making pedals in their dorm room can get 1% metal film resistors, top-notch op-amps and transistors, for peanuts these days, and the magic of the internet has allowed optimal design theory and tips to be spread far and wide, capacitors still have much wider tolerances than many other components. The upshot is that, when one compares a *single* pedal of this make against a *single* pedal of a clone, it is hard to know whether one is comparing some consistently-different tonal quality, or comparing a pedal where the *nominally* 47nf capacitor actually measures 41nf against another where the same nominal 47nf value measures 51nf, in a critical position that alters treble or bass content. We wouldn't attempt to predict how a national election is going to swing, based on surveying 5 people. Why should we assume that a single pedal from a company is going to accurately represent ALL pedals produced in that line?
      Whatever differences Chappers can or can't hear might be consistent features of the pedals in question, but with only one exemplar from each, we can't confidently assume that. This is a weakness of virtually ALL such shootouts and comparisons one finds on the web or even in a music store.

What is heard in the room is not what I'm hearing on my computer speakers. I know from my own channel how much gets lost in translation. It's often a LOT. UA-cam videos are still fun to watch, but it's always a good idea to literally try the exact pedal/amp/guitar you are buying.

      I literally started to type the same thing and caught this comment before I clicked send. I can dial in killer tones all day on my JHS Sweet Tea or Strymon Blue Sky into just about any amp, room or volume. The same can't be said for Amazon Basics and all those Joyo clones floating around.

    • @markhammer643
      @markhammer643 3 роки тому +3

      1) Brian and I are easily differentiable. And for our wives' sake, that's a good thing.
      2) One of the things that factors into pricier gear of any type, whether it be pedals, guitars, pickups, amps, etc., is the labor required for quality-control. Quality-control is not the sort of thing that can be fully delegated to machines and software. Someone somewhere has to be able to provide the right answer to the question "Does this sound/behave like it is supposed to, and like all the other items in this category do?". The more extensive the testing (e.g., 20 performance parameters vs 6) or exhaustive the testing (e.g., every 100th pedal vs every 15th pedal vs EVERY pedal), the more your labor costs go up. And lets not forget tech support for quality-assured products as yet one more labor cost.
      So, contemporary resources, and production methods (as well as production locales) allow for some really decent bits of gear to be made for surprisingly low cost - what you can buy for the Xmas money from grandma these days is head and shoulders above what the same money could get you in 1970 - but the difference between higher-end and bargain-basement gear is often not in the materials used, but in the quality-control.

    It's so weird that it's almost impossible to tell if you flip the switch in the middle of playing, but back to back it's audible. And it's so difficult to put a finger on it, but the same things come up from time to time with no obvious consistency "smoother, lacks high end, lacks bass" and it's a telltale. I suppose it's what you'd describe in the lack of better description "fidelity", the more expensive pedals just tend to have something that whispers "someone put a bit more time into listening to this and it's more well-rounded". Yet like Rob said about the noisy boy, the same thing applies to tone city's golden plexi - it's not as high fidelity as the more expensive ones, but it does a really nice thing in its own right.

  • @BigMateo24
    @BigMateo24 3 роки тому +1

    In fairness to the delay, you are comparing a cheaper digital pedal emulating the sound of an analog delay compared to an actual analog delay using old school time based bucket brigade technology which uses 4 chips. The signal naturally gets more and more degraded each time it passes through a chip, resulting in a much lower fidelity, warmer sounding delay. 2 very different styles of delay. This is an instance where I think a Strymon pedal would have been a fairer comparison.

    • @TheNocturnalEvil
      @TheNocturnalEvil 3 роки тому

      Not to forget the fact that the Tone City pedal doesn't even emulate a bucket brigade delay, it emulates a tape echo. Although both bucket brigade delays and tape echo are analog, they sound nothing alike.
      On a tape echo units, or pedals that emulate tape echo the repeats degrade with time and even get fluttery, but they never get consecutively darker. If anything tape echo leaves a bright trail.
      On a bucket brigade delay the repeats not only get degraded but also the compander circuit used in them causes substantial high end roll off on each subsequent repeats. Hence the repeats get consecutively darker. That's why the trail of a bucket brigade delay is always dark.
      Comparing a bucket brigade delay with a digital delay, tape echo, or a digital tape echo emulation pedal has absolutely no meaning. They are all different from each other.

    You probably had to turn down the resonance a bit on the tonecity filter pedal to get some of the lowend back. Because some filters are transistor latter based, and they have this nature where when you increase the resonance it takes away the lowend. The tonecity one also sounded like it had more resonance than the Qtron

    Proves to me why I dislike the Carbon Copy so much, repeats are too muddy. Also confirms that I don’t like the Boss Flanger. Tone city sounded nicer to me.

    As expected, the flanging of the BOSS BF-3 was clearer, but it has nothing to do with quality or price though. It's just that the BOSS BF-3 is a digital flanger, and digital flanger pedals have really clean flanging sound, while the Tone City Aviator is an old school bucket brigade flanger. Since it's a bucket brigade flanger it exhibits the high end roll off and signal degradation that's common to all bucket brigade based devices. That's an unavoidable trait of bucket brigade based circuits.

    I'd love to see a shootout that includes the modeled pedals in a Kemper,
    Ampero II, HX Stomp, etc., compared to the actual stomp boxes.
    Love this! That Blues Breaker really did sound great. I own a Kemper
    and am also looking to get an Ampero II Stomp. I already own Helix
    Native or I'd be looking at an HX Stomp. But I find myself wondering
    how well included modeled pedals really hold up.
    These video comparisons you've done are just great! Lots of honesty in
    here and its just great to see and hear.

    Old confusion: should Rob identify the dearer one, or say which one he likes more? At home you want the best sounding one, or do we want the 'right' brand? Impress by playing or impress by owning? Anyway, I keep being impressed by Rob's dedication and experienced ears.
