      Im not here to discourage you but tone demo's really aren't something you can trust, you have to take them with a grain of salt, because the amps and guitar pickups also shape a lot of the sound and that's for the live sound, when you are recording the sound and uploading it on yt then you add a ton more variables, mic type and brand, mic placement and also add the compresion that UA-cam ads to the audio, not saying this pedal is bad, just that you shouldn't trust tone demos and think that you will sound exactly the same

    The PDF-2 is a great tool for getting many of QOTSA's tones, but the gain structure isn't right for quite a few of those riffs you played.
    I Sat By The Ocean calls for a more classic distortion sound, like a Boss DS-1 that is slightly treble boosted (with the PDF-2 providing a boost to the mids).
    The main riff on No One Knows is actually surprisingly clean... it's pure tube breakup with less hair on it than you'd think (from Josh's Ampeg VT-40).
    Quite a few more examples but won't drone on, lol. One thing I will say is you missed a riff that the PDF-2's second channel sounds PERFECT on to my ears... Sick, Sick, Sick! Only issue with that one is the riff that comes in after the chorus which is done on a Fulltone Ultimate Octave (FOXX Tone Machine clone). Switching between the two fuzz circuits in a live setting is a pain, especially if you want to keep the PDF-2's parametric circuit engaged and just switch off the fuzz.

      I have an actual Ampeg VT-40, and I’ll say right now that is the tone. The pedals are all relatively low gain, and used to shape as an EQ. I highly recommend the SFT if you can’t get the amp! Then work your way backwards. The band isn’t using the distortion on the PDF that’s not the sound at all.
      I think this PDF works well on clean boost and proper EQ settings if…you already have a SFT pedal or the actual amp. Thats why so many end up selling this. It’s not $180 Queens in a box at all, and cheaper ways of doing it!
      I bought the VT-40 a few weeks ago for $350! Plugged it in and used a treble booster, Klon clone, TS808, Foxxy Octave….all set at 0 gain or 1-3 if they had a gain. It nailed the tone! They don’t use a lot of heavy distortion pedals come to find out…even the Fuzz pedals are pretty tame. It’s all in the amp section of the Ampeg!

    Incredible hearing a UA-camr play In My Head without powerchords, it's almost as if most "guitarists" can't actually hear what they're listening to. I really like the second verse when the harmonic notes kick in. I think it was Alain Johannes who played it on Lullabies, Josh was on bass.
    My PDF-2 has a very annoying feature, the Dirty channel has a noticeable drop in volume compared to Clean so it pretty much renders the footswitch useless. I just use it as a high-mid/treble booster on Clean and get my gain further down the chain.

    • @mattg082
      @mattg082 8 місяців тому

      It’s probably the fact the EQ band is drastic and introduces more volume. That’s typical of you mix to raise a band of EQ, and the instrument gets louder.
      Thing is the sound is not in the distortion. I have an amp like Josh and that’s the distortion. The PDF is the boost and tone shaper end. Better off pairing it with a SFT pedal at the end, and just keeping clean boost. I never use the gain on this pedal..I get it all from the amp. The distortion is just kind of there, and the highten EQ plus distortion circuit together will make it super loud. Try backing down the height, and running into another distortion, fuzz or dirty amp!

  • @mattg082
    @mattg082 8 місяців тому

    What confuses me about this pedal is the gain circuit. But in context with QOTSA type sounds. Sure it’s a gain and going through a clean amp it gets you in the ballpark. But I have a Ampeg VT-40 I scored for $350 2 weeks ago. All the distortion is there…like all of it outside the octave Foxxy tone sounds and muff stuff.
    So to me it seems one would just never use the gain much in this, if they are using the amp or even an SFT pedal to emulate the sound. From what I gather set the amp to edge of breakup, then hit it hard with this on clean and boost the crap out of the low mids.
    From what I’ve heard and gathered, the distortion on this pedal is not really used much on the bands stuff…it’s mostly boost and EQ before drives. Also I saw he had another one behind his 4 Ampeg VT40s as an always on one.
    Many ways to do it I suppose, but I see many people disappointed thinking this pedal is the magic key. I have the PDF1x as well for my Ampeg.
    Now for The Strokes stuff….i believe they are using the distortion on the pedal. They tend to use fairly clean fender amps, and even very high headroom Hiwatts and HRD amps. So I 100% hear that tons more as a different sound do the Jekyl and Hyde they use as well.
    I’d tell any kid wanting to get the tone…start with the CatalinaBread SFT if you can’t get the real amp. Put it last before any effects and turn it on. Then run your Eqs and treble boosters, Boss SD1s and such.
    I’ve seen Josh do small setup with just the PDF first, octave fuzz and a Space Echo into a cranked Ampeg. I think for most I’d say work backwards ensuring the pedal or amp. Then get a pdf and a SD1 or Treble Booster. I’ve just seen many get this pedal or the Fulltone octave thinking it’s the core tones. Then they sell them off a lot, especially the PDF. You need to run it into an Ampeg based pedal, a broken up Ampeg or even a Plexi to really get the dirt tones. The pedals just sculpt the driven Ampeg which has its own sound. And what I believe to be the core distorted sound overall. All the dirt pedals are set pretty low to 0 gain, to get different EQ tastes on the fly.

    • @LetsPlayAll
      @LetsPlayAll  8 місяців тому +1

      Yea there’s a lot less gain generally in QOTSA tunes than people think and think you’re right that they used the PDF more as a way to sculpt their tone as part of a bigger signal chain (and then there’s the studio eq and trickery on top). Have you looked at the Skeleton Key? It’s a pedal designed by Funny Little Boxes and myself (so take into account my bias here haha) - the reason I mention it is cos rather than going after what are essentially components of their tone, we went after the end product. There’s some great independent reviews online by music radar and guitar world and it was in the top 5 pedals of Total Guitars gear of the year so may be of interest. That into your cranked amp should give you all the core queens you need 🤘

    Does anyone else has the problem that when you push the overdrive on, the sound difference is really too huge compared with the clean setting. It's like you push the volume from 2 to 10 😅

      Great in a live setting, works especially well as an EQ layer in between clean and dirty to ensure other pedals you're using cut through the mix. The controls take a little time to get familiar with but defo won't disappear with a live band

      I have the pdfx1 it has the volume output, but find I don’t use or adjust it much…unless I go past 1 o’clock on the height. The more height I put on the louder it gets due to EQ height. I don’t really care about the distortion, it’s noisy and a Rat, Muff, Caralinabread SFT or in my case a real VT-40 cranked sounds better…with the boost on normal.
      But I do find the distortion cool, just probably the last thing I touch on the pedal…nothing special about it as much as the EQ and what’s on the other side of it.
      I love mine! But just keep in mind the height raises volume, and distortion will also do the same and be noisy.
