Rhett And Zach Pick The Best (and Worst) Gear of the Year

- It’s the most wonderful time of year: the “year in gear” season is finally upon us, and we’re celebrating with this special in-person episode of Dipped In Tone. Zach and Rhett gang up at Zach’s place to rundown the best of the best of musical excellence and oddities in 2023.
The guys start in with their favorite stompboxes. Rhett tips his hat to Old Blood Noise Endeavors’ Beam Splitter, Hologram’s Chroma Console, and Universal Audio’s 1176 pedal, which he runs as a hard-clipped overdrive. Some might say it sounds shitty, but as Zach notes, “Shitty is pretty in the mix!” Zach’s “boring” picks include the Nobels ODR-1, his collection of new Tube Screamer variants, and the Poly Beebo. Along the way, they talk about the magic of going back to old gear they’d written off in their younger days, and dig into the root causes of Zach’s discomfort with more experimental playing approaches.
Rhett sings praises for the new Orange OR30 and remembers its early 2000s predecessor, the AD30, and he and Zach agree on the superior, “8K” quality of Two-Rock’s current offerings over nearly every other amp on the market. Out of this year’s axes, Rhett favors both Fender’s Vintera II ’60s Bass VI and the Mexican-made Jason Isbell Custom Telecaster, plus the Collings 470 JL-Julian Lage’s signature. Zach spotlights his PRS SE Silver Sky, and a gorgeous Gibson Custom Shop 1959 ES-335 Reissue.
Be sure to stick around for the end, when the duo call out the year’s biggest disappointment in gear, which Zach describes as “baby’s first modeler.”

Hey guys you may not realize this but I am a super fan of the show... Keep up the good work and if I finish this comment quickly then I think I'm number one ha ha
Who is this guy? 😄
You are always number one mr pierce
Anyone else trippin' over the split colour wall making it look like they're in two different places?
Ha ha! 100% When Rhett handed the pen to Zach, it was a little disconcerting.
Same here! 😂 like a comic where they break the 4th wall.
Please tell me Zach displayed his PRSs and Tube Screamers immediately behind Rhett on purpose.
Dipping rigs is always fun to watch, would love to see that again
I like the handheld mic aesthetic.
It's like if the halftime part of the NFL broadcast was actually good and interesting.
That new Boss IR-2 pedal looks like being the best new gear of the year by a million miles. Like, what player couldn’t and wouldn’t make use of that thing, considering the form factor and price tag?
Rhett - picks two of the most inspirational, groundbreaking, artistic pedals which truly changed the game while continuing the narrative that pedals are for producers and synth nerds in addition to guitarists. Zack, "I like that orange box that has already sold a bazzilion units in the past 3 decades"
Make sure you run the ODR-1 in 18 volts... Whole different world!
As an Australian, I approve of the dollarydoos reference. I speak for all 27m of us
I agree. Anyone that disagrees that's a bootable offense. 👢 🥾
I like saying shit like "im slammin the front end of this amp" and "let me dip my rig" and "tube screamer " to my wife for reactions
Gentlemen, thank you for the "Old School" episode. Missed the Rig Dip though.
Would love to see a video of your guitar build if you're willing Zach??! 🤞🤞🙏 Thanks for the great content guys!!
Great review! Thanks!
love you guys!
You guys are sitting opposite of where you normally sit and its freaking me out lol.
Muwhahaha
Shocked that the T-Rex Binson Echorec didn't make the list! Awesome vid dude! Cheers to another year!
Keep it coming 🎸 brothas
Rhett needs to be on the left :) Good stuff guys!
Oh wow, Corner Music! I left Nashville in 2009 but that totally triggered good memories!
Great episode, fellas
honestly, I appreciate hearing negative reviews. helps fight the thinking that you're just praising a product for the paycheck, as well as helps people make informed decisions about their spending
Solid 40 seconds before I realized it wasn’t a split screen 🤦🏻♂️
Nothing wrong with old school, brothers!
This sort of feels like a grand return
Yup I buffed my road worn jazzmaster and it looks so much better!
I think the biggest hit of the year is the Vintera II Bass VI. I've been waiting for that or an AVRI one for YEARS! That and the AVRI ii '54 Precision... I've been on a bass kick this year apparently...
Yeah! Both of those are rad.
sick burn!
I thought it was funny that, due to the wall colors, it almost still looked like it wasn't in the same room. :)
27:09 I am literally unpacking Star Wars Black Series figures to put in my newly built Billy Bookcase from IKea and looking at Rey just as you said that. 😂❤
The way the walls look. It still looks like your in separate locations with a spilt screen....😂
The dark and light background makes it look like you’re in different locations.
An interesting show, at least I'd be really interested in, would be a show where you setup a good "music making" setup for Zach. I really struggle with what I could buy that isn't thousands of dollars to really start improving a small home studio recording space and maybe some suggestions for taking it to the next level.
You should add a short playing the ts through the bloomfield. Super curious now
The Woodrow also has the preamp to the Korg SDD3000 Delay, which The Edge has used since 1983/84
Hey Zach I may be wrong but could the lens you mentioned be for an upcoming univibe?! I’ve been looking for a new one and if so I’ll hold off until yours comes out!
The only thing Rhett has ever said that upset me: “I never watched the Simpsons.”
Zach, is that mythos hoodie going to be available on the merch site soon ??
the new Line 6 Helix firmware with that feedbacker effect is a blast.. it's high on my list
Bring back the Erlking Zach! My biggest pedal sale regret. I can't find one anywhere and loved that pedal
As the owner of one of the OG Erlking, dude! That pedal is the best ODR-1 alternative I ever tried and I have tried most of them.
Bukovac's review of the Chroma Console is comedy gold.
searched youtube for this, can you point me in the right direction?
@@HighSideYT it's on his youtube channel. A video from the last 2 weeks.
Re: the tube screamer discussion: I use a TS style pedal in front of a 5F11 Vibrolux and absolutely love the way it sounds. More Mids. Always.
Is that tubescreamer intercooled?
Aloha and Mahalo Guys! Waiting for my Not a Klon got it on pre order. 2 of the items you guy mentioned I would differently want but....😢😢
Silver Sky SE currently selling for $679!! I was impossible to not buy one. Must make it the best value guitar of 2023?
They’re selling new at $599 on right now.
The price most shops dropped to was $629 or $679.
Shops are liquidating the overstocked warehouses full of those guitars.
I found a shop selling amps that sell for $899, liquidating for $599 free shipping.
The used ones were selling for more unless it was a local pickup.
Love the content, but please get a boom or lapel mics. the big mics in hand make it feel like it's on the floor at NAMM or something.
The most dangerous episode of the year...
Soooooo when are you going to start dipping rigs again?
I like how it doesn't look you're actually in the same room, due to the dark/light stripe down the middle of the screen. Looks more like a split screen... :-) It was only when you handed the pen over that it was apparent you were both there at once...
Nice moonswatch Zach!
Love em!
The ua 1176 is digital and black dog is off the 4 th album
The stew Mac Podcast brought to you by stew Mac
Turbo mode swells in and sustains the note. When the note stops it goes "psshhh".
Has anyone talked about how great the JHS Tidewater is as a clean boost?
To touch on that sharing music topic- you think it’s better to just lie and say you like something or to be honest and point out what you don’t like, albeit the delivery of pointing out what you don’t like still has to be productive/positive
Just bought a Zoia, :)
Beautiful People is my favorite as far as shitty guitar tone. So ratty and nasty but perfect for the song.
The links to segments are wrong. "Tube screamers" is out of order. Then?
Toto by Africa must be a tune from the unreleased soundtrack to The Wizard Of Oz 4.
Keeley HALO! Or was that new in 2022?
Need to get Rhett hooked on fountain pens.
please don't, I cant sustain another hobby/obsession.
Took me 11:45 to realize you guys were in the same room...
Still looks like a split screen 🤔🤓😉
is that ts naturally asperated
my last name is Crook. have you guys tried The Crook that Adison is in love with? trying to get a free one
It actually looks like you’re split screen because of the paint
Africa tracked Toto 😂
Plugins sound like something i cld get into ,, if i have nothing but a guitar n amp , what do i need to use plugins to record ? I know nothing .
Just a PC and some type of interface
Thx
OBNE...A typical Oklahoma business. If you know, you know.
how many comments say intro sounds like O Jays - For The Love Of Money?
rhett looks so tired. 420
kidding. 420
Rhett, don't take this the wrong way but you are starting to look like you need to lay off the carbs.
Thanksgiving comes for us all sooner or later, bro
You guys need to hook up with a make up show and do this list there so my chick sees it. Then she’ll know what to get me for Christmas.
The first error I see is that you describe an unusual OBNE pedal without a picture. Not good for players. Other channels can do it, why not you?
I love talking gear. But I think I should really stop talking about gear and start talking about music
Making music, writing songs.
Gear is the least of it.
Start a podcast! I’ll come talk about music with you
PRS ? Nope.
"I never watched the Simpsons".................unsubbed, angry email incoming
Something’s always seemed off…
worst gear, that pointy pink guitar of Rhett's
