He’s a very inspiring guy. He has a very soulful and expressive playing, calm and articulate way of speaking and indeed polite and attentive listening.
Yep. Reminds me a bit of Mick Ronson. I mean that as the ultimate compliment. I think Barrie might be the best elec rock guitarist to come out of England in 40 years. Love him.
The sound of Les Paul with the steve william tone bender's is exactly the same as Jimmy Page at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. This sound is absolutly incredible....
Normal people when they see a '59 Les Paul: "This is an unbelieveably good and rare guitar! This is the best f*kin' thing I ever touched! I need this in my life even though I might have to sell my organs to buy it!" Barrie when he sees a '59 Les Paul: "It's a nice guitar."
As the fella above me said, I’ve played I think 4 Les Paul’s from 57-60. The best one by far was a 57 gold top. The other 3 were just okay or not that amazing at least.
Someone told me to try an MK1 a few years ago when talking newer fuzz pedals, so I ended up ordering parts to build myself a Clone Bender MK1. While it is pretty wild at max. attack it became my favorite main gain for modern rock and metal with the attack in the lower areas, added a TS like pedal after it to get some brightness back though.
Yeah Barrie, I love all those pedal, this telecaster and the history i created few Fuzz Pedals inspirated about the old Flavors... See U * * Cheers * W. :)
the Gibson Maestro fz1 was 1962-3 tonebender was copy of it slight variant.like maestro better more sputter n attack.500ma leaky transistors gave it the magic,junk parts...now there 1000bucks...man o man a.sucker born every minute ..pt Barnum..
And labour costs (hand-built). Plus knowledge acquired over many years on how to authentically build a tone bender. The cost of something is never just the parts
@@JohnnyFriendly The circuit is freely published all over the internet. It would take 10 minutes to assemble.

Barrie has clearly learned the art of listening without interrupting

Barrie let's his Fender do the talkin!

Barrie is by far the best guitarist ❗👍

Having played 4, some are great, some are meh. My favorite "burst" I ever played was an old fake.
I tried various guitars, the best for me is the vintage blackguard Esquire with the limited JMI wooden Tone Bender. Thanks Leo, thanks Gary.

Man it's so wild that crazy ass sound was around as early as 1965. Complete game-changer for sure.
Of all those West End shops, Macaris has always been the friendliest with the least attitude & more heritage than the rest. Class.
Unfortunately Macaris has now gone.
@@colinmcnab6145 I'm very sorry to hear that. Thanks for letting me know, it was always my favourite.
What? No it is still there
Meh, bought an acoustic there. Can't say I went back in a fvcking hurry.
Loved it when he burst into dance. Rock on, mate!
The best player you could’ve chosen
Barrie is THE man..
That Esquire is awesome. Great heavy fuzz sounds from the Tonebender!
wow. great pedals, great guitar, great room, great sounds!!
Always enjoy listening to barrie's playing. This video makes me think, how have I never owned a fuzz pedal before?
This is the sound of rock and roll!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😁😁😁😁😁😁
Nice one Barrie and Anthony!
this is awesome. killer playing
Now i want a tone bender!!!
I know right? Just ordered one from Mike Williams, 6 week wait 😣
Sounds like heaven.
Probably the best sound I’ve heard outta a sunburst les Paul

I can't wait for little Barrie new álbum.
There's a new little Barrie album coming out?
No. :(
@@jakehawkes591 I saw them play in Portsmouth on Saturday night with a new drummer so hopefully!?
@@markwilkie3567 dude I'm so jealous of everyone that got to witness their comeback show! But yeah hope they start hitting up London soon!!
@@jakehawkes591 It was an awesome gig! Their new drummer is Tony Coote and although no one can replace Virgil he was pretty damn good!!
I would have perhaps tried the pedal with a less aggressive setting but still sick. Barry's burst has such an insane top lol. Damn.
I never get tired of Tone Benders and Teles - these particular examples are stellar. Anyway - thank you!
Selmer Red True Voice amp !
I think Beck borrowed the riff from Them for Devil's Haircut!!!
The Mick Ronson fuzz
Oh my, that Rangemaster.
Yeah Barrie,
I love all those pedal, this telecaster and the history
i created few Fuzz Pedals inspirated about the old Flavors...
See U * * Cheers * W. :)
yeaaaaaaaah !!!!!!
I´ll have one of each please.
holy shit
Good golly miss Molly
What´s the tune Barry starts to play in the vid??
The band?
Thanks!
Didn’t Gibson make the first pedal the fuzz pedal?
Fucking epic!!!
What Truvoice it-is ? TV12, TV19, ... ?
This tone is pretty tight
Can anyone else see the crazy dancing guy or is it just me?
£329.00 for this Tonebender pedal? Why so expensive mate?

True filth.
Not hating but you're charging $830/£600* for 6 caps and a switch.
