- This is my go to pedal when i just cant crank the amps!
I am 100% a fan of a cranked Fender Super Reverb or Deluxe. Those tubes really need to saturate to give you all its potential.... but sometimes we cant play at a really loud level, but we still want the big TONE!
So, thats what i use the BLUES POWER for.... and EQ for the amp.
Its naturally a big boost by design, but ive found a few other benefits from it. This is how i use it as an attenuator in a way, or an eq? Or an amp brake, or a master volume. Who knows. But, i dig it!

Peace and thanks!
I combine the Blues Power with ts 808. this is the best srv Blues Tone !!
This video “forced” me to buy a second one to put on my little grab and go board.
Just reminded me how I’m not happy unless it’s on!!
Killer content and killer tone my friend!You know it s my favorite overdrive too,you should try to put the dip switches on transparent mode in the inside and put the blues power in glass setting,you will have the exact tone of your amp but attenuated,no mid boost,that s how i use it;)You ll have more low end tighter too than the edge and more dynamic too ;)
I will try that and report back my friend! Thank you

I bought this pedal after I saw it in one of your older video’s. Still one of the best pedals available out there! Loving this quality content!
Hey thanks. That was real nice. I appreciate it!
I use alot of my pedals Like this to cause I live in a apartment building so can't always crank it up. This is a great method to do at lower volumes and I can get really killer tones without my neighbors wanting to kill me. I just acquired a fender super six reverb from 72 so this definitely helps.
Love my Blues Power pedal. This and the Ibanez Vemuram TSV808 stay on my pedalboard all the time. I own the Duelist as well but in my opinion the Blues Power and the TSV808 are two of the most transparent overdrive pedals in the industry. They each serve a different purpose but well worth it. They sound impeccable going through my Carl’s Custom Amps Custom 50 with a single vintage 15 inch JBL speaker in the cab. Great vid Nik. You never disappoint Brother. 🤘🏼
Great choise ! I'm using exactly the same pedals Blues Power and Tsv808 . How do you stuck them ? Blues Power first and after Tsv808 or ?
Dude this pedal is amazing. Tried this with my super when I got it with tube screamer ts 10. Yea um no you can’t do this with that. Jesse is a genius. You should be gettin paid Those riffs sound killer. Come on man where is your band.
Nice. Glad you dig it!
BLUES POWER is hands down BEST pedal EVER made
it`s a great pedal but i prefer the loco pedals blue soul for these tones.
Except that it’s a straight-up ripoff of the Paul Cochrane Timmy. But I agree with you, the Timmy is the best pedal ever made.
@@extendedlines The guy from Aion claims its the same circuit. I have searched for all the Tim videos availables, and in none of them I have been able to find that “glassy” sound. It seems Jesse’s idea to include the highs EQ previous to the circuit makes the difference I like most. Its also difficult to hear the Tim at those gains in the videos. I dont know if its because of the Tim players or if its because the Blues Power has more gain. Do you have a Tim ?
@@leonardo.rafael I do, I have several Timmys and a Tim v3.
@@extendedlines and can you obtain the glassy sounds and gain of the videos of Jesse and Nick ? I am about to buy one BP but I am not sure if I best buy a Tim V3.
Never thought of actually using pedal as underdrive/master volume....! Hell yea it works great the way you have it set up....! Must try this with my super..!
Have fun!
I was just doing this with the duelist last night. But I bought two 5 watt amps for guitar room at home. I’m running them out a 2/12 & 2/10 cabs to move some air/ make it sound bigger. Just turning them up is too loud for my house when the wife and kid are home.
This has fast become my favorite pedal. It's super versatile.
I've got a dumbal drive pedal that gives a little more bottom or top end or over drive depending on need? Bottom fullness was what I was looking for! Adds what tube screamer bottom is missing!Thanks Nick! ☝SRV!
Thank you!!
This was unbelievably useful and incredibly cool..You're the man, Nik! Thanks so much for continuing to share content like this with us mere mortals! 🙌🤘😎
Hahaha. Its an awesome pedal!
All time favorite pedals for this exact reason! Great demo brother! 🙏🏼
Thank you man!
Hi Nik,
Im looking in to getting a super reverb.
Would the blues power being used as an EQ as youve showed bring it to life at low volumes for bedroom use?
Otherwise I was thinking buying a princeton reverb for the bedroom and the super reverb for going wild.
What are your thoughts mate?
Thanks and keep uo the great vids.
Loving the content buddy.
you might even kill a bird in midair - love it Nik. Crack me up
Nik, thanks so much for all you do. I run a similar board into a super reverb and recently picked up the blues power. I was using a King of tone pedal and at first, I wasn't that crazy about the blues power, but the more I used it, the more I loved it.
Excellent!!
Bought one today! Great video as always.
Thanks Mike!
GOTTA GET ME A BLUES POWER, HAD MY EYE ON IT A COUPLE MONTHS NOW, LOTTA VIDS ON IT...
Man, talk about a good demo.
My fav pedal of all time 🙌🏻
Yessir!
it's based on the timmy right?
This and his silicon fuzz are by far the best pedals I've ever owned. With these I can achieve all tones I want. Thinking about getting the Octaland.
Sidenote: How to achieve fat tones like this without makeing the neighboors or your woman cry? Accept, that a tube amp may is not the right choice and buy a Yamaha THR. Awesome amp, check the video when Sayce plays that thing...
The Octaland is soo good too!
MY MAN, LOVE THE CHANNEL......I LIKE WHEN YOUR INTERVEIWING KNOWN MUSICIANS, HOW YOUR UNSKAVED...THAT A WORD? LOL...ARE YOU FROM NY? I DONT KNOW IF YOU REMIND ME OF SOMEONE, OR WE MET? ANYWAY, GOOD STUFF.....ILL BE WATCHIN!
My comment on this Is if you are going for this as a lead sound what would you use to create a rhythm sound that has the same tonal qualities but less gain. Thanks Nik
Wow that's a amazing tone withe the pedal on it sounds like the amp . Doesn't sound like a pedal
Sounds great, I was just going to get an attenuator, though, I wonder what you think of those.
It's very versatile!
And great playing!
Thank you!
For gods sake, what an amp !
If I understood correctly, this pedal sounds different in every amp, because its virtue is that it only highlights the base sound. If you don't have a respectable amp, it will never sound like this.
I ve tried BP with suck amp like jcm2000, it sounds also great though.
So what would you do to raise the volume to boost the lead db levels without changing the tone without muckin it up. Dude I just looked through the comments I ask this same question a couple of years ago? Lol. I better look to see if you already answered it. duh. I also can’t get that huge sound from my super just straight in. I don’t have 5 or 6 grand to drop on a cougar or a half a decade to get one. Us older dudes 60 and above are looking to get that with what we got. You feel me?
I use a super reverb mostly
I’ll just set the pedal up for everything i need and use the right hand to dig in
That pedal sounds bad ass I got to get one
Dude this blues power pedal awesome so glad I got one! 🎸
That amp sounds great :)
This or Texan Twang for a good SRV tone?
Neither Just turn the amp up and plug your strat in. The gear is minimal with his tone. Its the player/skill
@@theriffwniksevigny5473 yeah sorry, you must get sick of people like me asking! Ha!
@@stratslinger3921they are two different pedals, the blues Power Is an amp in a box overdrive , meant for recreate the tone of a tube amp cranked to use with the clean tone of any amp and at every volume, the texan twang Is a treble booster (based on the Diaz Texas ranger) , meant for boost and amp that's already in the break up/crunch , so they complement each other, of you have an amp with a good clean tone and headroom use the blues Power ti recreate a breaking up crunch and use the texan twang for boosting it
Awesome video! Great idea!
Oh mate, mine is in the mail, should arrive tomorrow, time for a doobie and your video :D
EDIT: What i also heared so often now that it stacks almost like non other especialy with a fuzz or a vibe..
Its killer!
@@theriffwniksevigny5473 Yes, indeed! i can not stop playing it running the vibe and fuzz before. Also, what Vivien said, i settled on the "Clear" Dip Switch setting, really interesting how they shape the tone of the Glas/Warm/Edge Settings.
That sounds so cool 😬😬 where Cani get one?
The internet! Link is description
If volume wasn't a factor would you prefer the soloist over the blues power? My TS808 stopped working and I want something that will work well with my 65 SR and I'm stuck between those pedals.
I still choose the BluesPower
The eq and the ability to shape the fatness and the cut is perfect for what i need.
@@theriffwniksevigny5473 thank you for your videos!
Very nice!
I understand what you're saying, but its hard to judge, or for that matter believe you, because you mixed the vid so that your cranked amp and pedal output are the same exact volume. Its hard to tell what its going live at bedroom level. IMO you should had part of the demo recorded at real ambient decibel level and not boosted the pedal to match the amps ambient level
I just went back and listened to the video. You can clearly hear the volume and buzz increase when toggling between on and off
I also mention in the video, try some headphones
I like the blues power and the duellist do you think having them both would be a great choice.
Yes! They work well together.
Yup I litterly cover everything I need with those 2 drives and never want or lust for anything else. I can get everything from Knofler, Brad Paisley to Slash, Satriani and much more. Also covers everything for me in my wedding band which is music from 60s to 2020s.
And obviously works great in my blues band and also for all my original music. They are so versatile
Yeah I bet SRV would have loved this pedal TS on steroids w great tweakability to say the least
That's cool but how are you running the internal switch settings with the fender amps ?
Never touched it. So i guess stock
@@theriffwniksevigny5473 Dug the demo .Ethan has one now I haven't got to mess around with it much Yet seems pretty user friendly to find it's sweet spots 👍
The SRV from vertex his a kind of blues power or im wrong ?
How does this sound with humbuckers?
Big!!!!!
@@theriffwniksevigny5473 I’ve always had this problem ever since I bought my super. At low volumes with other OD pedals it sounds like shit and can not replicate the sound of a real tube amp that’s pushing. Hoping this can help, thanks
hello nik, do you think i can get this sound with my super unmodified 72 reverb and low volume blues power (2 -3) for my bedroom. thank you for your answer and bravo to you.
I bet it will help
You!
@@theriffwniksevigny5473 thank you
Awesome tutorial. In using the pedal as a kinda attenuator, how high is your amp volume setting set? Thank you, great playing
Amp settings are right in the video. Verbally
Dimed I think he said
👍👍
That amp can’t be beat
Agreed
