      Nothing sounds like a Strat, except a Strat. It’s taken me way too long to realize that.

      @@markhopkinsmusic HI Mark. Yes I have always had the clarity option engaged, and have gone back and forth between symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping. If I had one complaint about this pedal, for me, it has too much gain, especially early in the rotation of the gain pot. So I tried asymmetrical as it involves 3 diodes and is a touch cleaner and less compressed. The downside to that is that the clipping is less smooth and more gritty. Thinking about putting everything in their default position and spending some time with it that way. Love the K side. Easily one of the best klones I have ever tried.

    Outta nowhere my local GC had one in the used pedal shelf. Expensive pedal but holy smokes it sounds incredible. Never been a TS10 guy, never been a Klon guy, this pedal is magic though. Just had to get it.

    Great pedal. Really like the concept behind it. I own a TS-10 and it’s amazing for blues. It adds a sustain and sweetness that’s pretty unique. Stacked with the Galdio, you can get some reallt amazing tones. I had never heard of Nordvang before this video and it’s always cool to learn about new quality brands. I looked them up and found another pedal they make called the Wingman which is two Klon circuits in one pedal which looks cool too. Killer demo!

    I bought a used perfect condition Nordvang No 1 at GC and was wondering if Gravity klon side is similar to No 1.

    • @markhopkinsmusic
      @markhopkinsmusic  5 місяців тому +1

      I think they are slightly different and the No. 1 is more true Klon territory. But ultimately I’d recommend gravitating towards whatever your ears love.

    How would you compare the ts10 side of this pedal with the ts side on the duellist? Is this one more “hi-fi” or more vintage?

      @markhopkinsmusic  3 роки тому +1
