Horizon Devices Precision Drive Demo/Review || The Ultimate High-Gain Overdrive Pedal?!
They're hairties
Agufish excited for the chapman 2018 lineup? (If they even have one)
2018 - The year subscribers started a GoFundMe to replace the Agufish hair ties.
Or the year HME branded hair ties are released at NAMM.
Dm me your address, I'll mail you a fretwrap
5:37...is that some Trivium I'm hearing? ;)
As a dude with too many hairties and too much hair, I totally back u up on that.
No. Simon has not failed us, we have failed him. 😢
Great review as always Hunter. Also... IN WAVEEEEEEEEEEEES
EMCZIX beat me to it
Damn you, you beat me to it as well
8:15 the god that failed....
😥
I enjoy how the precision drive TIGHTENED up that down tuned 24.5 scale length guitar. I have difficulties getting a tighter tone on the shorter scale lengths necks, and I think most everyone with a short scale length neck can agree that this pedal can prove itself useful in these situation. Thanks for the review!!
I should be practicing the guitar more often instead of watching your videos =P but here I am again!
cheguei atrasado mas n imaginava este moço aqui
Practice 2hrs for each hour watched
Do you use any in the FX loop like some do with a noise gate?
I come for the reviews but stay for Simon, no matter if he can't review it
IIIIINN WAAAAAVES
Nah but I'm really happy to finally see this official demo, it sounds like an amazing pedal and after seeing this, I'm definitely going to have to grab one once I can afford it. Thank you so much, and keep up the great content!
Wow those are some top-notch tones there.
IIIIIIIINNNNN WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVES!!!!!! My man that's why we are friends :D lol. Awesome pedal :), I've been thinking of getting one, but I'm one of those people who is all about heritage so.. I'm all about BOSS, ESP, Ibanez, etc :).
Can you do a review of your cat please?
Pet review- this would be HILARIOUS
What string gauge do u suggest for the kat?
Andrew Brown Bet it shipped with Lace Sensor Hammer Claws as stock.
DMSProduktions poor show
DMSProduktions not if it is funny it doesn't.
Which, funnily enough, is pretty much a mandatory basis for humour.
I’ve got one of these, it’s great. The noise gate isn’t the greatest, but as a boost it’s fantastic. Works great with my Les Paul Custom into my JCM 2204
Love that you used in waves to demo this. A fAirly chug heavy song that requires tightness
The one thing I've learnt about my precision drive is that results massively vary depending on what setup you're using it with. It's the first drive pedal I've found that gets me super crunchy, tight aggressive tone (think gojira) out of my prehistoric Marshall tsl100. I'd highly recommended it if you need to push a decent hard rock amp into djent/metal territory. Tried it with an orange tiny terror and a blackstar valve head (don't recall the model) and I wasn't as impressed with the tone. Stranely, I get better results from my prs than my ibanez with this pedal too. It will live on my board for now because it's perfect for my current setup (can't afford to splash out on a new high gain head), so I'd recommend anyone try it to see if it helps their tone goals, but make sure you try it on a rig as close to your own as possible.
EEEAT RICE!!! 5:35
Oh man the beauty of that guitar.....are those fishman active pickups
yessir. It's the Adler signature set!
Shout out for the darkness riff!!
You said this would be good for extended range guitars? I know they’re not typically in your wheelhouse, but you should totally check out the ESP LTD JR-208. It’s the signature model for Javier Reyes, one of the guys from Animals as Leaders. It looks incredible but doesn’t have any reviews yet, it would be so cool to see you be the first to do it.
It's a fine enough pedal, and it's good at what it does, but it's not the ultimate solution. The Airis Savage Drive or any other well built drive can do the same thing, with the exception of the noisegate. And most modern metal players will have a noise gate on their board anyways.
Saying that other drives are not suited for metal is just marketing. A drive pedal is just boosting your signal and coloring it with some clipping and some EQ. It's not a novel idea. The magic happens in the boosting and how the EQ of the pedal is designed. No hate on Misha or HD, because it's certainly not a bad product, but to try to position it as the modern rebirth of the overdrive is a stretch IMO.
Have you ever tried to use your average distortion pedal for metal beyond something like Black Sabbath? It doesn't work, not saying the precision drive is the only one that works, but a loooot of distortion pedals have this really crunchy or fuzzy sound that isn't really what the modern metal player is looking for at all.
@@lilbaement9890 First off, I literally design and manufacture effect pedals, so this is sort of my wheelhouse.
Distortions and overdrives are not the same, and generally speaking aren't used in the same context. I play modern metal music, I boost high gain amplifiers, and have had the privilege of trying a ton of different combinations. You wouldn't choose a Fuzz Face or a Dallas Rangemaster necessarily to boost a Mesa Dual Rec for metalcore. You also generally wouldn't be getting all of your dirt from a pedal in the first place. The idea is to push a high gain amp and provide some pre-preamp EQ sculpting.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
@@alaspoorjordan Question. Is transparent od and clean boost the same thing? I mean, I use both as boost. What do you think?
Did he just call the Mesa Boogie Rectifier FLUBBY!? *TRIGGERED*
Power supply input is in a funky spot
+1 for Simon says. Never let him go
13th, let me make a joke
Gibson firebird zero
Use a Tube screamer and it's the best. Bands like BFMV and Trivium also use a Tube screamer but they use the TS9 I use the TS808
,some of your riffs were phenomenal,inspiring,keep on keepin on, the pedal sounds great thanks for bringing the pedal to my attention,
Holy crap that sounded good
it’s the best piece of gear I’ve bought (and I’m not a pedal guy at all!)! If you’re a metal guitarist, this pedal is a must have
I've been using an Amptweaker Tight Drive and its been working out for me. Highly suggest people to check them out.
TheSpineSplitter1990 Ive been looking into these for a while now.
I havent played one yet, but they seem pretty badass!
Can we have Simon do a mini demo for pedals when reviewing? :)
Damn I just bought a Maxon OD 808. It’s really good but this sounds badass as well
lots of love for the channel all the way from El Salvador Central America! think about it next you wanna vacation! anyone thinking of buying the precision drive it rocks!
Oh my god that Gibson is beautiful! Sick riff btw. Reminds me of slipknot a bit.
hey dude i love your every demo videos best demo on youtube soo far!
Looking forward to the jake Bowen Ibanez video. Combined that guitar with the precision drive and you got a deadly weapon
I must get one of these
Wasn’t expecting a Darkness riff!
When should my light come up? I have it plugged up with a 9V cable going to it negative rip like it said. So when shall it light up?
I've had my eye on this one for a while! Bought a Katana head and got side tracked!!!
I’ve got a Marshall Guvnor ii - could that be used like people do a TS or Precision Drive to give a tighter tone?
Blaaaaack shuck!
That dog don't give a fuck!
Great demo!!!!!!
Just ordered one to compare to my Boss SD-1 and the OD pedals models in my HX Stomp.
Simon, you get an F for effort buddy! XD
It's a really good sounding pedal, and $220 Inst too bad. still think the KHDK Goul Screamer is a better OD overall with a bit more Control. However my current Amp doesn't have a very powerful distortion so Im currently using a MXR FullBore Metal as my Gain (which is incredible) followed by a compressor/sustainer
Pretty baller pedal!
Seems like a fantastic OD! ☺
I have one and is awesome
I ordered mine not that long ago to replace my Boss SD-1 I've had since I started playing guitar...and then I got to to test out an Airis Savage drive, so there's $200 more out my pocket, and I'm just gonna have 2 ODs on the board now.
The demo song slaps hard AF
Now I love my Maxon OD808 like any other dude who grew up listening to KSE, but i gotta admit i’ve been tempted to buy one of these for a while. That price thooooooo
Toby K. Yeah, that price is fairly brutal.
Usually if you combine two things (distortion and overdrive, in this case) and sell a product, you give a bit of a discount so that people will purchase your product instead of going out and buying the two separate pedals.
Since you are getting two pedals in one it's fair and reasonable. I bought this pedal new for $195. It replaced my TS9 and my Smart Gate that combined cost $230. Plus it sounds better and saves space on my board.
A dedicated noise gate is a lot better. Just get a Savage Drive.
Pitdog360 Yeah, you're right.
I was going to argue that my EVH 5150 overdrive (distortion w/ built in noisegate) was only $179.99, but it's gone up to $199.99 since I purchased it.
xXEmbrace the MetalXx isn't the EVH pedal a distortion pedal meant to be used through the clean channel of an amp? If you have a cheaper amp I would suggest that over an OD pedal. But I have the EVH 5150iii 50watt and matching 4x12. So I don't want my distortion coming from a pedal. I just want a boost and the Precision Drive is excellent.
It's the most hyped meh pedal in existence, ain't got nothing on Father Peavey's TightMetal
Hey Agufish, great demo, especially since I'm in the market for a new overdrive, have you thought of doing the Fortin 33? I think that'd be a great choice for your channel
I love the darkness!
Thanks for the review. 5 years later - do you still use it? And is it still your preferred overdive. Is the gate strong enough to get rid of the noise from a noisy pedal? Like the new Soldano for example?
Cats are something else lol, at 4:56, he has to inspect what all the fuss is about. My cats used to be scared as hell on my distortion, now they are indifferent and sleep through my jamming.
Awesome
Thanks dude!
Can you do a review on the Jackson Mark Morton signature guitar plsss?
Excited for see what you think about it!!!
This video was triple nice !
Eehhhhnnn whaaaaveeessss!!! Awesome demo!
Squealies on point.
Why do I feel like I have watched this before? I almost knew what you where going say at the end?
I answered it in an ASKgufish :)
Best overdrive I’ve owned.
Question for your Q&A
What do you think of Grimmest Hits by Black Label Society? And why have you stopped putting your amp settings in the description?
5:40 IN WAVES!!!!
I want one now just for the Misha unicorns to fly around while I play
Definitely a plus for the pedal!
I hate super tight modern metal. Lacks juice, thickness and feel. The best metal tones were the 80s and 90s, plus the 2000s.
I have been n looking for a pedal to thicken up amps that are too tight and sterile. Apparently the Attack knob does a great job of adding thickness and a looser low end. Thanks for the great video.
8:10 yeeeessss it all went according to plan >:D
So does the noise gate feature remove string noise from the guitar too as well as hiss from the amp? Or is it just the hiss it removes?
That is awesome
Black Shuck!
honest question here, why have a noise gate on top of a pedal that has a noise gate?
Nice review. How much gain does this pedal have at minimal settings? I kinda want to get one to be able to use that tight knob on the clean channel without adding too much gain. Is this thing capable of being used as a boost? Or does it have a pretty pronounced overdrive clipping even at low gain?
Can you demo the Airis Effects overdrive pedals? Maybe compare em to the Precision drive
U have some riffing skills dude. This pedal sounds fucked up in a positive way :D I could definitely find a use for it
I have a Peavey Special 212 (Silver Stripe), which is like the precursor to the Peavey XXL. How do you think this pedal would work in front of it? It’s a Transtube, solid state amp, and I play an Ibanez RG7620 with an Invader in the bridge.
I can't get themis pedal here... 😕 So I may stick with the good old TS9...
I hate the way it looks but it does sound amazing.
I know the precision drive is Great, I just don't understand how you like the dual rec so much. I'm not hating on mesa at all I do like the mark v but I don't see how they've sold so many amps because the overdrive channel 'out of the box' in my opinion is borderline unusable
I dig the 5150/6505 WAY more, but... Agu likes what he likes, you know?
I can dig it. Haha
xXEmbrace the MetalXx in my opinion the 5150 is the greatest metal amp to date
Not Real It's AMAZING!
They got it RIGHT with that amp! ☺
xXEmbrace the MetalXx They got it more than right with the mk1 and mk2 5150s
I like video. loved 3:34 :)
I'm waiting for more used ones to pop up lol...I don't see me paying 200 for one just yet...my 40 dollar boss sd1 does the job for now...but I do really want a precision drive eventually
lol I'm glad they sent me mine. I was looking for one used as well, but it doesn't seem like many people are selling!
But have you tried the Pro Tones Deadhorse? I think it leaves more low end in the signal than my Maxon 808 or my Horizon devices.
In Waves, niiiiice.
Check out the Mud Killer or Dire Wolf. They beat the Precision Drive quite easily!
2:49 My Little Mishas
I heard some In Waves there haha
Can you demo an 8 string?
Maybe.. I've never played one. Could be fun, but those necks look ridiculous lol
Agufish dude I play a 6 string bass, believe me, an 8 string's neck isn't all that bad.
They're just guitars, you know. You're not supposed to strangle them.
@@agufish cant play em at all but really like the neck. They look like aircraftcarriers kinda.
Always felt its weird to slap 2 bass strings on a guitar tho so i play barritone instead
Is there a particular reason you don't wear a wristband on your picking arm? I use one I find it helps with my right hand precision. But you don't have a problem with that.
I think you answered your own question?
Do the john 5 tele!!!
would be a nice combo with the Mesa throttle box??
This vs the Revv G3 vs the Pathos... Discuss
Will the noise gate that is Built in the horizon pedal silence all noise from the other pedals or just the horizon pedal itself?
Hey! I Have a big muff tone wicker and am looking for a better distortion pedal, My overdrive is the new Fender Santa Ana, and im looking for something that can get dirty, T H I C C metal tones, and some rythym. Any suggestions? I was thinking the Metal Core, or the Metal Muff, thank you so much!!!
Could you review the mxr fullbore metal, I wanna know what you think about that pedal
I have a Peavey 6505MH and use the Maxon 808 overdrive sounds great but loses a little low end and I think this pedal might be better what do you think... thanks great video
Buy a Way Huge Green Rhino Mk IV instead. The active 100hz and 500hz controls give you so much more control over how the OD affects the lows and the mids. You can use it exactly like the TS808 that it's based on, or you can boost bass and scoop the mids out if you want, or do the complete opposite, or do everything in between. As far as versatility and control goes, there's no beating it. And that includes beating the Precision Drive.
And if you want a noise gate, buy a TC Sentry.
Have you tried the DOD Boneshaker distortion?
imagine how many coke bottles you can buy for 220$ yeah think about it.
Don't coke is bad for you. This pedal on the other hand
Point taken. atleast the pedal will last longer.
unless its like sugar free coke. but sugar free coke still rot your teeth.
I don't get excited about pedals either. I have been trying to put together a pedal board but it has taken forever because a new pedal just isn't that fun
Finally
Is this good for metallica sound
@5:36 EEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGG WHIIIIIIIIIITES!!!!!!!
notification squaaaaad what up boiis
