- Terrific pedal for getting great low-gain saturation from a clean amp, or getting a gainy amp into lead sounds.
Measuring only 2.3” wide, the NEW Barber Gain-Changer harnesses a vast spectrum of EQ and gain. Flick the toggle one way and you have sweet very low-gain overdrive, flick it the other way and you get wildly charged harmonic content of our much praised unLimiTeD distortion. Pop over to the other toggle-switch and you can volley between the flat sweet-EQ of the LTD SR , the vintage snarling-fat-EQ of our classic LTD v2 or a new voice that combines flat EQ with a little added fatness. Combine all these different options together and you have a super-versatile harmonic beast. Our goal was to shrink the size of our pedals and retain all the ultra-high quality electronics and build quality that we are world famous for. In the end, it’s almost impossible to miss the target if you are shopping for a new overdrive for your rig, “it’s like shooting fish in a barrel Jethro.”
The Gain-Changer has real honest solder lugs for jacks, True-bypass footswitch, toggles and pots. There are no worries about PCB mounted thru-panel parts that can’t be serviced on the road, or that lead to high cost repairs. Nothing but the best tried and true hand-built methods adorn the interior of the Barber Electronics Gain-Changer. The Gain-Changer has a generous 2 1/2” of clearance between the front edge of the footswitch and the back edge of the knobs, no more worries about changing your settings with each click of your footswitch. Buy a hand-built Barber Gain-Changer, and enter a world of immense overdrive possibilities.
I ordered one immediately after watching this demo. Great job, Ms. Taylor!
I'm up to 2 myself...
@@lindataylormusic I'm seriously considering ordering another one myself. One set for low gain and the other for high gain. This pedal is truly special. By the way, I really like your playing!
Agree 100% David created a masterpiece with this one!!!@@explorer8454
This is one of the best demos I've ever watched, and I think I've seen them all. Thanks for this.
Wow...that was just exquisite, so rare to find those amounts of power and finesse fused into one so tastefully.
It's reassuring to see that my career choice away from music was the right decision, as certain as my need for a Barber GC now !
Thank you for this wonderful demo Linda !
Holy crap the playing is spectacular.
Great playing Linda. I have a Gain Changer on it's way to me, really looking forward to it.
It's still on every board I make, I've never beat it.
@@lindataylormusic I can hear why!
Sounds killer Linda! Of course everything you play and use always sounds killer!
What a Great Demo, Great Sounds. Nice Playing.
Thanks for listening
Just discovered you with that video and I am really impressed by your chops and playing...with a strange ressemblance with David Bowie and a Mike Stern attitude!
Got that Greg Koch sound to me for some reason at times nicely done
Beautiful playing...the LP
dirty tones were outstanding (as was all but were my high point).
Loved watching you on Whose Line! Seeing you use my favorite soft-clipping OD is so cool!!!
Great demo. That opening song was amazing!
Wonderful demo of this great-sounding pedal. Fantastic playing!!
Outstanding look at this pedal. I'll be coming to you for my future demo vid needs!
Very thorough review under various applications. Thanks!
Lovely tones! Great playing...
I really like the transition bitonal/bimodal approach to your playing! It sounds great. Not many people doing that.
nice demo. nice playing. and you look great doing it. i'm sold.
Enjoyed watching you on WLIIA. You are amazing. Great demo.
Great demo of a great pedal!
Nice demo of this pedal in context of a track with multiple kinds of guitars. You did a great job giving an overview and demo of the different functions as well.
Thank you, I'm glad it was useful to you.
Love your playing Linda. I've watched all your videos and I have to say this Barber pedal is your best tone. I have many pedals but nothing is better than tube amp overdrive and distortion. That said, I have a smaller pedalboard for back-line with the Barber 1/2 gainer at low & mid gain crunch (it's a 2 channel LTD) and the Direct Drive V3 for a more modern crunch. I really think you'd love the Direct Drive in addition to the Gain Changer. My favorite cover band amps for tube distortion are the Mesa Boogie 100 watt triple crown and the Australian made Sherlock Amps. On another note, your "outside" licks are sweet!!!
I love your work! Its a big inspiration for me :)
Everytime I hear this pedal - it sounds fantastic. I'd love to hear a comparison, vs. the J. Rockett Blue Note-Pro. Your guitar playing was Inspirational. Update: purchased one = my favorite OD I have ever owned. Exceeded-my-expectations. oNe LovE from NYC
Good guitar playing Linda.
your tone at 1:20 is just awesome great playing!
Awesome drummer too
Good stuff!
I love that chewy tone you got🥰
Yea, it's got a good chew.
Hey lady! You rock! New sub. Cheers!
Thanks.
Great tones and playing Linda. I love my Barber LTD-SR for tipping my Marshall JMP into solo gain territory. Didn't realize that Gain Changer was both modes of LTD in one pedal! Thanks for the review!
John Gerson the LTD-SR is one of my favorite boosts!
Great vid! Juicy tone and great playing. I'm interested in your HSS strats pickups/setup, and that LP just kills.
LPMojoGL well the LP is Custom Shop, early 80s. The Blue Strat are Hot Stacks in the neck and middle, JB in the bridge. The black Strat has that’s Slash/Alnico in the bridge, and the brown Strat are Chris Campbell customs. Thank you for watching:)
Awesome, thanks for the rundown!
Great playing and demo, thanks! What clamp/stand are you using in this demo for the pedal?
That's some sort of iPhone holder, a tripod attachment thingy. Worked really well!
Considering one of these to sit before my vintage sd1, using an AC15 with alnico blues 🤔. So difficult to find the right kind of distortion/drive. This seems a pretty versatile bit of kit.
I think that's a great idea, but there's enough here you wouldn't need to use the SD1 after it, you could just use it as a different color. Barber killed it with this pedal, it's a gem.
@@lindataylormusic certainly sounds awesome , although practically impossible to get hold of it seems, unfortunately. I kind of wanted to keep the old trusty sd1( it’s about 25 yes old now I bet!) ....and have something to run with it/instead of. Thanks for replying 👍🏻😎🎸
@@woowah32 you may want to reach out to David directly I believe he’s on Facebook
@@lindataylormusic Ok that’s great thanks, Linda 👌😎🎸
Who you say it's one of those overdrives you can hear the clean signal underneath? Hard to tell
wow, amazing playing! Great sound all around for this video, in fact some of the best I've heard on youtube, do you like those focal monitors? I'm thinking of getting rid of my Adam a7xs...
Very happy with the CMS 65 pair. I mix very quietly and the Focals get me there quickly.
Are those Focal CMS40?
Arksolva Studio CMS 65
@@lindataylormusic I was pretty close. I have the CMS40 in my studio. Great playing by the way. I enjoyed the demo. Cheers
I know this pedal wasn’t designed for this but, can it do Dumble style tones? I know the BUSS is supposed to but there’s only like one demo of it.
I guess that depends on your definition of 'Dumble' tones. I've tried to show the variety of great sounds available from this pedal throughout this demo.
Linda Taylor the pedal sounds great throughout the whole demo. I prefer it over the standard version. This one sounds even more like amp. By Dumble style tone I mean like a Robben Ford or Larry Carlton hot lead guitar sound. If it could get on the ballpark of that specific focus midrange sound.
The 3 way EQ setting has a pushed mid focus. That's demo'd at 5:34, 7:22, etc. To my ears, the Imperial Strut sound and the Room 335 sound is more about the SR setting with flat eq and humbuckers. Short of that, you could watch my video on the Vertex Steel String where I play "Imperial Strut" with a 335.
@@jedielrodriguez4835 You want the Lovepedal Zendrive.
Get the Compact Burn Unit
Oh that Orange Les Paul though !!
Ha! It's a little like my father's old Caddy (see picture constantly in top right of screen)...it's gonna fall apart and I don't know when. But ain't she purty.
Very hard pedal to find. Almost impossible and I have been searching.

Linda your playing is as hot as you are my dear. Cheers
Oh, damn I was hoping it was better! :>)
