Lappland is everywhere... inc Norway, Sweden and Finland. Santa lives in Korvatunturi (commercially in Rovaniemi, don't ask) which is supposedly in Finlad. Rovaniemi is for sure in Finland.
Santa lives in a high tech industrial facility on the north pole, which is technically international waters, which makes him a pirate. Norway is unofficially the owner of the north pole though, making us part of his pirate operation.
Actually the north pole isn't owned by any country/countries but is regulated by international laws. Though the Arctic is under the jurisdiction of 5 different countries: Russia, the United States, Canada, Norway and Denmark. So technically if the northpole had an unofficial owner, that ownership would have to be shared between 5 different countries.
Viktor Buch we went there first. Thus, by the authority of dibs, we are unofficially the rulers of the north pole. Those 5 areas are under official jurisdiction as part of those countries' sea borders though, so those are official, not unofficial.
Well there are mainly 2 claimants of who reached the geographic northpole first, both claims are from americans and not norwegians. Though the norwegians were the first to make a transpolar flight route over the north pole, and that flight was after both claims of reaching the north pole first.
They did it already the deduced that a high end Gibson is not 5x better then a high end Epiphone despite the Gibson being 5x the price or something to that effect , in essence i think they're saying the difference between a high end Gibson and a high end Epiphone isnt as great as people would think due to the differences in price
+thomas chambers Yh is saw that video but I mean two guitar of the same/close price e.g a high end lp and low end Gibson lp- which would be around the same price
(Just to add to the discussion) I've played some low end gibson's pretty often at my friend's house and own a Epi LP Custom Pro, the Custom Pro in my opinion has far superior quality in everything but brand name.
I've had the Golden Cello since its initial run in 2009-2010. It's supposed to be Eric Johnson in a box basically. Probably works best through a loud clean amp. I love it and will always use it
Lappland crosses national boundaries. I must get a Golden Cello. I borrowed one for a moody sunrise cue (with mist) in a murder/mystery with just some strings. Very effective! I don’t think it is one I’d use for every solo on a gig (not that I gig anymore). A big expansive sound that can be use with (dare I say it) sensitivity .... Pete.
hey Rob you dont have a tuner handy bro ? wheres ya awsome little pedal boards u guys made u each with the tuner on it?.....was gonna live in the demo room ....:p
dont mean the random picked pedals on the mini board yes that was a give away they made thier own personal boards a while back was a two part vid lee said he specifically didnt want a batt power supply cause it was gonna sit there in the vid room for months and just get plugged in...
To clear something up, it is not the guitar nor the pedals. I have tried all of them and I can assure you it's the amp or the way they recorded. I hope you guys give it a second shot because BJF is an incredible pedal builder and all of my pedals are his or designed by him. They're so dynamic in rich in sound. Alexi Laiho uses them as well! Though I currently love One Control pedals from Japan, it is still designed by BJF himself in Finland.
Wich ones does Alexi use? i just thougth he only had that board with a Dunlop Kirk Hammett wah, and the Boss CH-1 + DD-6? Edit: I of course know that keyboard virtuoso Janne Wirman uses them for his lead tones :)
+Jes Studsgård I believe he uses the Sweet Honey Overdrive, not the ones they demoed but it's one of the best Overdrive pedals I've heard and played with in a while. I have the One Control Strawberry Red Overdrive, BJF also designed
+Juniorr Here I just found this : www.mpamp.com/children-of-bodom/ says here it's the little green wonder. It's not featured in their rig rundown from earlier this year.. but who knows, maybe he just uses it with his practise amp. Engl amps also claim him as their endorsee, but he's used nothing but Marshalls since 2011.
There are several demos by several people on these and compared to the Blackstar Fly they all sound kinda crappy, the Fender usually is by far the worst.
Just go to a nearby Guitar Center and see if they have the two and try 'em out, if they only have one, by that particular one, if they don't have either then look at the specs of the two and weigh them out a bit. Buy the one that you think would be your *jam*. Personally, I love ESP, but I may have tried out this particular model you speak of and didn't exactly like it. Schecter is has very high quality material and just overall is really good, I would recommend it, this really depends on *the kind of music you are going to play.*
Schecter has the high value thing down, can't really say quite the same for ESP. So, I'd say you get more bang for your buck, but I haven't really looked at the guitars you're talking about.
How you guys have so many tuners in any given room and still manage to have guitars out of tune is...amazing. ;-) I thought there was one on the wall behind the Captain's head in that repurposed wall decoration.
Like someone already mentionned, the problem with that demo were probably the amps, and probably their settings too. They should have had the Fender on a much cleaner setting. The Bassbreaker is 15w, so not a lot of headroom and it was already pushed into overdrive, so when you hit the frontend of the amp with a heavily distorted pedal like the first one (the mighty red) you get that fuzzy sound that really wasn't very good. Overall, I think that the whole video doesn't do justice to these pedals. I have a MadProfessor Simble, that I play throught this Fender Bassbreaker combo (on a clean setting), and it sounds really good ! So don't get turn down by what you hear here, try them and get your own idea :)
There are two parts to a tube amp which are pre amp and power amp. Both sections are run by tubes. When a sine wave can't perform it's curve due to physical limits, it is called clipping as the top of the sine wave becomes flat. Guitarists know that as distortion. Drive, boost and gain cause the sine wave to clip in the preamp section while the volume knob causes the sine wave to clip in the power section. Headroom is the amount of volume one can turn up on the amp before the power section starts clipping. Distortion pedals and fuzz pedals clip the sine wave at the pedal.
Don't know what was wrong here, but these things sounded terrible to me. So fuzzy and just breaking up in a really un-musical way. The way you guys were talking about them, though, implied they sounded great. Bad recording?
The fuzziness of overdrive type effects is a cause of great controversy. If a distortion is sufficiently fuzzy, its attractiveness is proportional to the user's love for the fuzz. That being said, I think for most genres, distortions with a rough grainy fuzzy characteristic and a reduction in high frequency fizz are considered the best ones almost universally(as long as it is subtle enough that the listener doesn't make the observation that it is indeed fuzzy). An idea is to run a monstrous fuzz and a high gain distortion in two channels and adjust the mix between them to suit your evil needs. A good fuzz will have just the right quaking sustain, while distortion has the right chuggy attack. Now I gotta go look up pedals that split up the chain like that.
I think it was because a) The bassbreaker was already experiencing a lot of distortion, and b) the AC15 doesn't have a lot of headroom (EL-84 tubes only cranking out 15w).
i have a golden cello, basically i cannot go wrong with what ever od i put in front. ( diy klon, rats and a real big muff) it's stupid how simple getting smiley sounds out of an amp is now. edit- essentialy, that pedal is mine no one can have it.
The Sápmi region, known as Lapland in English speaking countries, is the northern part of Fennoscandia (aka continental Scandinavia); it is the area indigenously inhabited by the Sami people. The region is spread over Norway, Sweden, Finland & Russia. Now you know.
Sometimes it has to be said when gear sounds bad. I had a mighty red dist and returned it. I wish someone with access to all types of pedals would have a channel with honest reviews. A panel of guitarists perhaps.....
Wow Rob. With all the things you do (youtube, Dorje, Chapman guitars for instance) I'm surprised you still have time to play a computer game. I guess I will have to check that Dark Souls 3 out.. It must be really good. Rock on, guys !! \m/
we as guitar players are so lucky to be living in a time where we have so many great guitar pedals that these can be called just well.......good. i have now watch the whole video and the GC on the strat with that delay and drive sounds really good and it should at $149 pounds.
I'd be interested to hear it with single coils into a clean, high headroom amp (maybe capable of some good David Gilmour crunch tones), but I agree that with this set up, it's not the most practical sound.
I'd like a video where you explain why back in the day Gibson and Fender would sue people who made guitars with the same shape as a strat, tele or les paul, but nowadays they are kind of the archetypes for traditional body styles that many manufacturers model their guitars after, Chapman guitars included (or should I say especially?)
If you like the concept of the Golden Cello, but didn't dig the tones, check out Mad Professor's Bluebird Overdrive. Sounds a lot better, and really takes boost pedals (TS, OD820 or Klones) well.
The Fender amps overdrive sounded better without the pedals being turned on. Either the recording was rubbish or the pedals are not very good. I am not sure Rob and Lee are being entirely honest with their review here. I think here are lots of better pedals out there for the money.
Lappland can refer to areras in the north of both Sweden and Finland. I don't think you need to fear attack from vikings as much as from the ancient native samis who still inhabit major parts of these areas.
Do an updated guitar collection video!! Both of you. Everybody wants it.
PLEASE CAP N' ROB !!!!!!!!
Omg yes
+1!
Yeah!
let me guess.. LPs, Fenders, Chapmans. not an ibanez or Yamaha in sight
Lappland is everywhere... inc Norway, Sweden and Finland. Santa lives in Korvatunturi (commercially in Rovaniemi, don't ask) which is supposedly in Finlad. Rovaniemi is for sure in Finland.
Exactly, hehe.
And where Santa is depends on who you ask... Different answers in every country of Scandinavia and Finland.😜
Santa lives in a high tech industrial facility on the north pole, which is technically international waters, which makes him a pirate. Norway is unofficially the owner of the north pole though, making us part of his pirate operation.
Actually the north pole isn't owned by any country/countries but is regulated by international laws.

Now that I think about it, I've never seen Captain Lee and Santa Claus in the same room together....
Can you do a video where you compare a high end epiphone with a low price Gibson (for example)
They did it already the deduced that a high end Gibson is not 5x better then a high end Epiphone despite the Gibson being 5x the price or something to that effect , in essence i think they're saying the difference between a high end Gibson and a high end Epiphone isnt as great as people would think due to the differences in price
He's asking for a comparison with a *low price* Gibson. Something like the Tribute series or a Studio.
+thomas chambers Yh is saw that video but I mean two guitar of the same/close price e.g a high end lp and low end Gibson lp- which would be around the same price
Yes!!! Something like the Epi Les Paul Tribute Plus (549 UKP) versus a Gibo Les Paul Studio Faded (649 UKP)
(Just to add to the discussion) I've played some low end gibson's pretty often at my friend's house and own a Epi LP Custom Pro, the Custom Pro in my opinion has far superior quality in everything but brand name.
Rob endorses Dark Souls 3 fuck yeah!!!
I've had the Golden Cello since its initial run in 2009-2010. It's supposed to be Eric Johnson in a box basically. Probably works best through a loud clean amp. I love it and will always use it
Rob has really really really good taste in video games.
That Chapman guitar is stunning. Can I get one in the US? What color is that? Love the golden cello too. Great video!
It's an ML-2, Try Riff City and I'm pretty sure it's antique sunburst.
www.chapmanguitars.co.uk/retailers/
Chappers? You owe me a £5er ;-)
Andertons also ship worldwide, for a £5 commission to me ;-P , eh Cap10?
Be awesome if you guys could do the little green wonder from mad professor. Keep up the great work!
I love watching you guys jam. Rob is phenomenal and the captain like fine wine. I want to have a three some with your tones.
Nice to see some Vox love! Always nice to hear how pedals would sound through my rig :D

hey Rob you dont have a tuner handy bro ? wheres ya awsome little pedal boards u guys made u each with the tuner on it?.....was gonna live in the demo room ....:p
Presumably being kept safe somewhere until people win them as they were for a competition.

+Jes Studsgård it's usually based on what he uses in studio, live it's a whole different situation
When Lee said "It's not the Lapland you go to every Thursday" I just lost it!
Nice pedals, very niche. Thank you for the demo.
so would you say the mighty red distortion would be a marshally type sound since the jcm800 ruled the 80s?
You guys are crazy cool as hell!
Thanks for the video, I love you guys
Any chance of review of Kramer pacer classic and vintage?
Rob needs to get Lee to play some Dark Souls and make a video of it. Also TORILLA TAVATAAN SUOMI FINLAND SYDÄNKOHTAUS DIABETES SAATANA.

Hi Rob! When does the Mooer pedalboard competition end?
Can you do a micro amp shootout, I know you've done the Blackstar, but there's the Fender Twin and the Marshall MS2 and a few other micro amps out.
There are several demos by several people on these and compared to the Blackstar Fly they all sound kinda crappy, the Fender usually is by far the worst.
Hahahaha the flashbacks at the start already got me lolling!
Rob, GET OVER HERE! play a gig in Finland!
Would you do an updated video of "How To Gig for Under £500"?
Wow!, the golden cello sounds amazing!!
To test a distortion pedal you should have nothing but a clean channel. That guitar sounds terrible. I hate negative comments but this deserves one.
When is the winner of the Schecter challenge is announced?
SUOMI MAINITTU TORILLA TAVATAAN!!!
first chop reminded immediately of summit, drove me nuts, knew it was 80`s rock, it was Saxon Redline, good one Rob!
Where can I buy one in America?
Hey Chappers, i'm stuck between buying a Schecter Damien Platinum 6 FR and a ESP LTD MH 1001
Any recommendations?
Love you content bro Keep it up!
Just try both guitars before buying them man, nobody's opinion matters other than yours bro!
Just go to a nearby Guitar Center and see if they have the two and try 'em out, if they only have one, by that particular one, if they don't have either then look at the specs of the two and weigh them out a bit.
Buy the one that you think would be your *jam*.
Personally, I love ESP, but I may have tried out this particular model you speak of and didn't exactly like it.
Schecter is has very high quality material and just overall is really good, I would recommend it, this really depends on *the kind of music you are going to play.*
Schecter has the high value thing down, can't really say quite the same for ESP. So, I'd say you get more bang for your buck, but I haven't really looked at the guitars you're talking about.
If it were me though I'd go for the Damien Halloween version, it's absolutely sick.
I really like your videos. Any chance you could stock/review Fredric Effects?
Mad professor
Sounds good!!
Lapland is in Finland and Sweden ;)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapland_(Sweden)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapland_(Finland)
and Norway !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What Mics are u using to record this video?
The Golden Cello reminds me a lot of a BK Butler Tube Driver. It's obviously a bit darker, but the smoothness is definitely their.
How you guys have so many tuners in any given room and still manage to have guitars out of tune is...amazing. ;-) I thought there was one on the wall behind the Captain's head in that repurposed wall decoration.
Isn't "Mad Proffesor" "Björn Juhl"??! He is Swedish if Im not wrong. He helped me build my first distortion pedal, like 10 years ago!
Great to hear that you're also a fan of Dark Souls Rob!! :D
You guys keep demoing amazing pedals. How to choose? With so many options in the store I would have options paralysis.
Like someone already mentionned, the problem with that demo were probably the amps, and probably their settings too. They should have had the Fender on a much cleaner setting. The Bassbreaker is 15w, so not a lot of headroom and it was already pushed into overdrive, so when you hit the frontend of the amp with a heavily distorted pedal like the first one (the mighty red) you get that fuzzy sound that really wasn't very good.

So don't get turn down by what you hear here, try them and get your own idea :)
Hey Chappers, are all of the pedals on 9 Volts powersupply?? I've heard that the Mighty Red Distortion runs different on 18V than on 9V
The strat in the cello reminded me of the intro of Get Over It, by the Eagles
i would like if you do an ibanez vs jackson guitar video
What kind of effect is drive?
Drive is overdrive
Is that Bachman Turner Overdrive?
+Shamrockrancher Nah

Headroom is the amount of volume one can turn up on the amp before the power section starts clipping. Distortion pedals and fuzz pedals clip the sine wave at the pedal.
The greatest Pedals by far from Mad Professor are the Overdrive: The Sweet Honey OD and the Little green Wonder.
any chance of a Reverend Sensei RA FM review ????
These pedals have David Gilmore written all over them.
Cap10 Lee with the Slither main riff, real nice bud.
I like the golden cello the best. I own an Eric Johnson strat and I can see it being great for getting that Eric Johnson sound.
should i get an ml2?
Don't know what was wrong here, but these things sounded terrible to me. So fuzzy and just breaking up in a really un-musical way. The way you guys were talking about them, though, implied they sounded great. Bad recording?
Opinions, perhaps. I, for one, think that they sounded quite good. The Golden Cello one especially.
A bit to direct with the mics in the recording is my guess.
The fuzziness of overdrive type effects is a cause of great controversy. If a distortion is sufficiently fuzzy, its attractiveness is proportional to the user's love for the fuzz. That being said, I think for most genres, distortions with a rough grainy fuzzy characteristic and a reduction in high frequency fizz are considered the best ones almost universally(as long as it is subtle enough that the listener doesn't make the observation that it is indeed fuzzy).

I do like that germanium fuzz to...
I think it was because a) The bassbreaker was already experiencing a lot of distortion, and b) the AC15 doesn't have a lot of headroom (EL-84 tubes only cranking out 15w).
I believe the Golden Cello is supposed to be instant Eric Johnson.
sounded like something not quite right in this demo, technical fault somewhere.
What does PCB mean?
Hey rob you should do some of these demos with an RD1
Play more Slash Captain!!! We love it!!!
Golden Cello = Eric Johnson tones..
Mrd is hw or pcb ?
Maybe the Fender Bassbreaker really dont like the gain pedal ?
updated cribs video for the captain and a gear tour for rob pleeease!
any1 else think the stone grey sounded a little mesa boogie-ish?
welp, this sold me on the Tiny Red! I will be adding this to my signal chain
It's actually Mighty Red
My mistake hahahaha I'm slightly sleep deprived
Rob do you think Britain should leave he EU?
i have a golden cello, basically i cannot go wrong with what ever od i put in front. ( diy klon, rats and a real big muff)
it's stupid how simple getting smiley sounds out of an amp is now.
edit- essentialy, that pedal is mine no one can have it.
I need'em all!!!
Did lee just play the riff of slither from velvet revolver? :D
Yes!

Rock on, guys !! \m/
Funny I really liked the Strat through the Stone Grey. Great fat sound. 12:09
And yeah I can imagine Bea jamming out on that setup..
Golden Cello reminds me of Eric Johnson's sound
Finnish Death Metal! Come on guys! Awesome video so far.
do a review on catalinbread pedals, especially the dirty little secret mklll
Lapland is in Finland well done Capt
do you guys even listen to these vids before you put them on the web??....if I were Mad Professor, I'd be a quite disapointed !!!
we as guitar players are so lucky to be living in a time where we have so many great guitar pedals that these can be called just well.......good. i have now watch the whole video and the GC on the strat with that delay and drive sounds really good and it should at $149 pounds.
Lee with the Velvet Revolver !
Liked the Stone Grey better, specially with the Chapman - but sounded cool with the Strat too. Good comparison!
Chapper's & Cap, you need to try the Traynor
Custom Valve 50 Watt All-Tube 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp
All three pedals sound a little too fizzy, or is it me?
No wasn't just you pal
Yea I didn't like em either. The delay was nice, though.
Thought all of them lacked clarity
They sounded like they turned the tone knob on the guitar off.
They all sounded pretty muddy, and bear in mind I like to listen to Sunn 0)))
Robs getting noticeable better technically.
That first one was god awful
My least favorite style of distortion.
+Hank Hill Yeah, cloudy, sputtering and no good sustain or clarity. Sounds like something I'd make myself (just to throw away later).
As a metalhead I totally agree. That is no metal sound, that was just shit.
I'd be interested to hear it with single coils into a clean, high headroom amp (maybe capable of some good David Gilmour crunch tones), but I agree that with this set up, it's not the most practical sound.
I would concur with this assessment.
I'd like a video where you explain why back in the day Gibson and Fender would sue people who made guitars with the same shape as a strat, tele or les paul, but nowadays they are kind of the archetypes for traditional body styles that many manufacturers model their guitars after, Chapman guitars included (or should I say especially?)
You got lappland in both Norway,Sweden and Finland.. But Father Christmas lives in Rovaniemi in Finland...
If you like the concept of the Golden Cello, but didn't dig the tones, check out Mad Professor's Bluebird Overdrive. Sounds a lot better, and really takes boost pedals (TS, OD820 or Klones) well.
You should get the new Boss tuner app for Android and ios. Very handy and simple. No need to plug in
is it me or do these videos keep getting better
The Fender amps overdrive sounded better without the pedals being turned on. Either the recording was rubbish or the pedals are not very good. I am not sure Rob and Lee are being entirely honest with their review here. I think here are lots of better pedals out there for the money.
captain should play more
you guys rock
And Santa is from Finland and Lapland is in Finland :)
Damn straight!..
It's more that parts of Finland is in Lapland (or the other way around)...
Lappland can refer to areras in the north of both Sweden and Finland. I don't think you need to fear attack from vikings as much as from the ancient native samis who still inhabit major parts of these areas.
Tune please!
Dude man, I don't know who Father Christmas is, but Santa Claus lives at the North Pole.
Man Whimpy was awesome. Their bacon and egg breakfast roll was the best
