Awesome Pedal! I also have an idea for a new "Sounds like...": How about you try to sound like Periphery without busting the bank and use more affordable amp modellers like the Avid ElevenRack for example? Since Periphery uses the AxeFX exclusively, I recon that might be an interesting video! Maybe you could even show the process of you editing and dialing in the patch in the video...? That would be seriously awesome! Cheers, Guys! :)
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
Old video but hands down the best review. I ordered this for my Diezel VH4 to focus up my metal style of playing and hands down you guys did a superb really breaking down how this thing is applicable to focusing a high gain amp experminenting. You and Ola did the best review of this. can't wait to get mine.
Cool pedal. Many times I forget to mention that the drive I use (a vacuum tube preamp) is with the gate always on, with a moderate threshold. I would use something like that precision drive on a smaller gig pedalboard. Djent the post-refrain of Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers.
I would actually really like to see a clean valve amp demo of this. The mention of the extra gain (level) on tap makes me wonder how nice it might be as a clean boost. Put it after an OCD or something and you've got a built in gate and boost.
Dont forget this pedal can also do great mid gain tones as well. Take a slighty dirty tone and put this infront with some gain. Gives it a real woody poppy sound.
Although this does sound epic through the kraken, the kraken is already a very tight controlled amp anyway as Bea doesn't use drive pedals. They should have brought in something like a dual Rec or EVH 5150 to demo it on as they both have massive low ends and would have showed the low end difference better.
resha hasan Both Rabea on his channel and Rob Chapman with the Capt reviewed it on Robs channel. I think they are friends with many involved with the pedal company and it is a good pedal.
Actually this pedal works wonders for getting that slight breakup without pushing the gain or goosing an amp with a boost pedal and killing everyone on stage. I know 3 Nashville studio cats who are using these to get that slight country push, I have found that if you pair this with a dynacomp style compressor you get the perfect bluesy style breakup tone with the drive at 9 o'clock the attack in the 3rd position and the bright at around 9 on my Mesa Combo's clean channel. So it's not just for metal guys. The gate is a huge help in keeping it tight.
I would like to see Rabea and Pete kill it playing some Slipknot . If Bea exposes Pete and his very impressive talents to that genre, and he turns out digging it as just another excellent genre of music, that would be something incredible to see and hear.
Hi Djent guru. the kraken is already tight to begin with, so might not be the best choice of amp. if you do want to use kraken however, you can maybe dull it down, add some more bass to the tone, make it a lil woofy, or take the gain down to midgain tone, its a gain boost pedal after all. Also maybe you can use amps like 5150, dual rec, or something along those lines of amps where they have a solid fundamental tone and character, but the overall sound isn't tight enough and build upon it. Also, i heard, this pedal does decent drive pedal sound, as it has more drive than your standard TS pedal. Set it to clean or to edge of breaking up, and add some drive from the pedal, or boost it, great mid gain tones. Its actually pretty versatile.
Just felt like adding that sth like this is just as, if not more, important for Tech Death and Deathcore as those genres feature low tunings, big chords, fast playing etc as well.
basically this £200 gate/gain stage can get you from being 95% there to being 99% there. great demo. it seems like it's geared towards the studio i.e., people who know what they're doing.
I think this might be the fourth Anderton-linked video of this video I've seen. Bit of a shame considering the cool new pedals we haven't seen much of (Fuzzrocious, Mythos, Lunastone etc.)
Musicians pride their selves in being able to use a equipment in a way not intended. What does is sound like out of a Strat into a hot rod deville? how does it sound drive all the way up into a clean amp? Bluesy? Ballsy?
Didn't really like this video. Whenever I see Rabea and Pete do a video it just feels like a clash. Pete in a unfunny way always comes across as that dad who tries to say things off the cuff but doesn't really get it. I've also pointed out before how Pete often talks over Rabea and on a video like this he isn't the expert by a long shot. Pete Thorn reviewed the pedal and it DOES do all the tube screamer type things i.e. classic tones, it just has more sculpting options. Also I imagine that the 5150 patch on the Kemper probably has a TS already featured when they profiled the amp which is why you don't notice anything different. The low end and mids have already been sculpted. All drive comes with compression and it is annoying when you hear people say that for metal as a rule you run the drive off. If you want more compression, mostly as bedroom volumes as no one has the kind of house where they can crank to get natural compression from the power section you can simulate that with the drive on the tube screamer. Pants video. I wish someone would do an honest precision drive vs TS comparison for metal.
pepsiguzzler86 are u serious? First off Pete and Rabea seem to get along great. Second Pete's a pro player look up his resume. Why do u think he's such a great player? Major acts. Also, he's brought in a ton of new subscribers and growing by the day. Leave Pete alone!!! And don't start I answered u legitimately with respect.
@Jay Jackson I didn't say they didn't get along. I said Pete can sometimes talk over Rabea and their chemistry isn't close to say Lee and Rob. I said that this wasn't really the kind of video for Pete to collaborate on, the same as why you might not imagine a Lee Anderton not appearing in a video like this. Yes he's a session guitarist, London is riddled with them it's not that big of a deal. Big shows yes, but there are tons of session guitarists out there. It just means that you can play in time, not get sick on tour and have clean technique. A lot of people can do this and like many successful people has been very fortunate to be at the right place, at the right time, knowing the right people. Nothing against him it's just a universal fact and he clearly deserves that continued success. I stand by what I said, that as a demo of this particular pedal it isn't a very good video. Without directly comparing it to something like a maxon od808 paired with a mxr smart gate it doesn't tell me much keeping in mind this is a boutique priced pedal. Pete said over and over that it doesn't really do the classic TS tones, Pete Thorn disproved this and it just shows that the video is...... meh. Pete Thorn is also a session guitarist, a huge one at that. 5-10k views per video for Pete Honore's channel is not a big deal, just being objective here, especially when you consider that other guitarist associated with Andertons and his subs/views. Rob Chapman. Just keeping things real and if someone can't give feedback then how does anything get "potentially" better? Just my sincere opinions.
pepsiguzzler86 first off I'm talking about Andertons channel. Since Pete's been there they've more than doubled their subs. Second any old player can be a session player? Really? Not a big deal? He has toured with major acts. Are u serious man really?! Pete's solo channel is wat ur talking about re 10-15k subs. I said they have a great camaraderie and I'm sticking to it. Chappers has his own channel and his own thing going with Lee. What's wrong with change? Something new and different? So go watch their channel. Pete can surely defend himself but I see the majority of subs seem to really enjoy him. And he's a nice, humble, laid back guy. I'm positive he can get a Kemper a helix an atomic amPliFire or an amp to sound great. Not changing my mind. Not going to change ur mind. The end. Keep the videos coming PETE!!! Pete was more than a session guy he's toured with major acts. I'm sure u can do it since u say it's so easy. 🙄
@Jay Jackson I really think that you are choosing to read into what I am saying and choosing to take offense. Correlating the channel with doubling their subscribers since Pete joined with no numbers is just speculation. You could be right but as Pete doesn't have the fame, subscriptions, views and respect of a Pete Thorn, Rob Chappers, Brent Mason etc. that is why I am not running with your logic. I didn't say a statement that was even remotely along the lines of "any of player can be a session player". I said that a lot of session players exist, especially in London. People travel from all over the world to session in places like our capital, Nashville, LA and NY and the talent is so saturated it's insane. Can Pete play? Obviously. What are the prerequisites to earn a living playing Atomic Kitten, Westlife and Tom Jones songs professionally? As I already said, clean technique, not getting sick on tour and can play in time. What prerequisites would it take to be a successful studio session musician in somewhere like Nashville or with a John McLaughlin or Steve Vai? It's a totally different animal. I didn't say there was anything wrong with change, in fact I said " if someone can't give feedback then how does anything get "potentially" better?" That definitely implies refinement which is in fact change. So who would I perhaps like to see do this kind of video? Someone highly rhythmical and right hand heavy who enjoys heavier songs instead of saying "I don't really listen to this stuff". Someone who has good camera vibe and would gel with Rabea would be their video editor Rory McLean or even the bassist from Toska/Dorje. Rory isn't a session musician from what I know but he is the kind of guitarist that is very interesting with his alternative playing and might use a pedal like this. Pete can defend himself? My words aren't an attack with loads of inflammatory remarks, just opinions that are pretty mild really. Also whether or not I am a session level player isn't relevant just to have an opinion. If you live like that then democracy could never exist.

misha has a signature valve amp now
Bad Motivator but it's £1700
Crimson Productions I
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Kayden Maximiliano instablaster :)
They should do shred wars Marc Holcomb vs rabea massad
Guys, on his demo, Pete Thorn used the pedal as a drive sound into a clean amp and it sounded great :)
They should call these videos the Djentlemen's Corner.
for the love of djent i needed this. Chappers tried, but Rabea saved the day
can't stop laughing at Pete trying to headbang at the start
@ 20:50 sums the pedal up perfectly 👍👍
Would have loved a finishing clip of Danish Pete trying it out haha!
Not sure why im watching this, I already own the pedal xD
Old video but hands down the best review.

Never heard a Kraken before, but my God does that thing sound fucking amazing.
Kraken sounds so monstrous!
Great vid Pete! Can't wait for the next acoustic paradiso with Mick!
I can also see this used as a subtle tool for a 'fly rig' pedal board providing the ability to tighten up a flabby stage amp when needed.
When Alive kicks in at 16:55
I really like the idea of that attack knob. I wish it was on my tubescreamer
Good pedal. Can't wait for next weeks video on this pedal

went to see Periphery last night in Manchester soooooo good
This thing rules on Helix too.
Very great review which clearly shows the differences, thanks for that!
I want an SE Baritone and a Kraken so bad right now... Such a killer amp.
Dont forget this pedal can also do great mid gain tones as well. Take a slighty dirty tone and put this infront with some gain. Gives it a real woody poppy sound.
second andertons video on the precision drive with a Horizon Devices ad before it lol
Just what I've been looking for! Something to tighten up my low end.. ;)
Although this does sound epic through the kraken, the kraken is already a very tight controlled amp anyway as Bea doesn't use drive pedals.
They should have brought in something like a dual Rec or EVH 5150 to demo it on as they both have massive low ends and would have showed the low end difference better.
Just ordered mine will see how I get on with it.
it's so weird. Feels like i've seen this video before. Do you guys reupload or what?
resha hasan I think, I could be wrong, they gave some incorrect information about the attack knob on the first video so they took it down
resha hasan Both Rabea on his channel and Rob Chapman with the Capt reviewed it on Robs channel. I think they are friends with many involved with the pedal company and it is a good pedal.
there were a ton of things wrong with the first video. lol.
why try a tight OD pedal on amps that are already super tight ? should be great to hear it in front of an orange or marshall amp !
Deja Vu??
Actually this pedal works wonders for getting that slight breakup without pushing the gain or goosing an amp with a boost pedal and killing everyone on stage. I know 3 Nashville studio cats who are using these to get that slight country push, I have found that if you pair this with a dynacomp style compressor you get the perfect bluesy style breakup tone with the drive at 9 o'clock the attack in the 3rd position and the bright at around 9 on my Mesa Combo's clean channel. So it's not just for metal guys. The gate is a huge help in keeping it tight.
I’m buying this one tonight.
Djenta vu??
Damn I want a VX Kraken!
I would like to see Rabea and Pete kill it playing some Slipknot . If Bea exposes Pete and his very impressive talents to that genre, and he turns out digging it as just another excellent genre of music, that would be something incredible to see and hear.

Set it to clean or to edge of breaking up, and add some drive from the pedal, or boost it, great mid gain tones. Its actually pretty versatile.
Will this tighten up the tone on my Orange Crush 120 Pro combo?
Just felt like adding that sth like this is just as, if not more, important for Tech Death and Deathcore as those genres feature low tunings, big chords, fast playing etc as well.
I thought it was supposed to be used on top of a clean channel. Cool demo!
What settings did you dial the Kraken to? What settings do you tend to dial in when going for a base djent tone before you add the precision drive?
Attack full right, drive full left, gate at quarter and run through a lite over driven amp and enjoy some sweet single coil blues tone! 😀
why do these pedals (and others like it, such as the ghoulscreamer) even bother putting drive knobs in if they're always gonna be turned down?
I like how rabea was avoiding the djent word on the beggining
Would have been intresting to see it into a clean amp with some drive (just to hear how that sounds)
isn't the attack knob for the mid range?
Is Michael Britt from USA?
basically this £200 gate/gain stage can get you from being 95% there to being 99% there. great demo. it seems like it's geared towards the studio i.e., people who know what they're doing.
I think this might be the fourth Anderton-linked video of this video I've seen. Bit of a shame considering the cool new pedals we haven't seen much of (Fuzzrocious, Mythos, Lunastone etc.)
That string ring is terrible when the precision drive is on!
Seriously. It's amazing how much of it you can hear in the video.
That PRS is giving pingin noises at the end of each cord.
Chord.
Musicians pride their selves in being able to use a equipment in a way not intended. What does is sound like out of a Strat into a hot rod deville? how does it sound drive all the way up into a clean amp? Bluesy? Ballsy?
more PETE!!!
is it just me, or does the noise gate on the pedal make a sort of "ping" sound?
will this pedal help me get toska sounds?
Andreas Varousiadis check out rabeas recent stereo rig video
Anyone use this pedal as a regular OD?
Just buy an good amp like The Kraken if you want this Tone and of Course a GOOD cab its so important
sound like a7x
I like it better without pedal on...?
From D.... to Machine Head.
Could you adjust the volume so the talking is as loud as when bea starts djenting? 😂 RIP ears
Gain's a little too high. The noise gate is making a chirping noise
Fuckin' mean tone.
"Definitely AIDs" 14:08
lmao
Djent u are a djent god bea
Super subtle means it's so subtle you can't tell it's on?
They should've at least used the pedal on the typical gear that Pete would use just to showcase how it differs from a TS9.... *shurgs lol
Chubbb
Is $220 worth of a difference? No.
Am I the only one who heard absolutely no difference in tone when it was turned off/on and when the attack knob was turned?
Tone like ass. Too much mids. Ear fatigued in like a minute. Haha
holy shit that amp sounds like shit. lol. its crazy how bad it sounds.
Yawn. Meshuggah did it first in 1995. Still the best at it. All these new bands doing flavor of the moment guitar technique #djent

Not a fan
