Yeah, it kinda is, but considering these pedals were designed specifically according to Rob's desire, of course he's gonna like them. If he took any old OD pedal, slapped his name on it and never used it, I would call him a sellout. But he actually uses these.
@Dain I am going to adress more people as "you swine" after today. Thank you. I think I may start with my undergraduate students when they get philosophy of science wrong. Then after that perhaps my brothers twin daughers, although I am more unsure of the potential repercussions on that score, there are two of them after all and they are quite fierce. Be that as it may, I shall most certainly use it to maximum effect on my answering machine and as part of the automatic signature of any official documents that I put out. I am working on a book which had the working title of "empathy in the work place" but I think now I will go for something quite a bit more assertive in the vein of S. Domesticus. Finally I am going to report in sick for an indefinite amount of time claiming I caught swine flu off my colleagues and insisting I shan't be back until they have all been responsibly put to sleep.
Oh, now the Engine makes more sense! It was noticeable the voicings of the Drive and Voice knobs were different, but not that they are actually two different gain stages that act on different frequencies. Thinking of it as a blend between them actually clears a whole lot of confusion I had about it. Having you set it up also provides more insight on what it was intended for it. The crunch really did shine here. Pretty cool video.
Got My SnakeOil Pedals And Man, Better in Person Than Ever, These Pedals Are worth Every Cent. I would Love to Have A Tin For Plectrums With The SnakeOil Design That Would Look Awesome On The Board. Keep Rockin Those Tune And Keepin Music Alive You Always Give A lot to This World Of Music.
I received The Very Thing along with a bunch of other cool goodies from your team at Chapman Guitars! Thank you so very much, it kicks ass! It definitely can go from boost to METAL! much appreciated.. you're a good dude and care about the musicians who use your gear
You are getting some great sounds here Rob, nice playing. But you can't "review" your own stuff - what this video is ... is a product demo/advertisement from the company owner. If you want reviews on UA-cam, send them out to other UA-cam guitarists that aren't affiliated with Snake Oil, Chapman or Mythos.
Casachapper lol Those pedals give you quite the range in sounds. I love them. You can get nasty gritty distortion for grind or death metal, or you can just go for beautiful thicccc overdrive sounds for jazz or blues. They rule.
These sound great here. I'm looking forward to them showing up in-store in the states so I can give them a go in person. The high gain demo sounds really chewy, though I would want just a bit more top end.
Pedals sound great, although a bit soft if you want them to cut thru in a mix, but it can be how the video was recorded. I will check out Rabea's and other demos, but I will probably buy both.
I’m not sure what it is, and I’m sure it’s different in the room but to my ears it sounded like the tone control was lowered on the guitar for this video..? The sound was almost muffled and didn’t seem to have much presence or clarity. Although that may have been the preference for the player, I would like to hear them in person and perhaps crack up some high maids or present to see if it can cut in a band setting. Absolutely one of the most beautiful pedal sets I have ever seen
Either Chappers is a stunning good artist or The pedals are really The best distortion pedals I ever have heard. They are really visually goodlooking. Sounds very Gary Moorish to me. A sound I really adore.
i've bought the ME and i have to say it's the best distortion pedal i've ever played, honestly. i never used one of the new (extremely pricey) high end pedals such as the Revv or the Friedman, BUT the ME beats everything i owned or tried. it has a great natural - amp-like - response, a smooth distortion that can sound all the way up to a very pissed off "british" tone, and lots of usable levels of gain. try it! (Chappers is awesome, by the way, so it could be both :) )
When I read your title, I immediately thought of something actor Steven Seagal allegedly said a while back...” I just finished reading the best script I’ve ever read in my life.” “Really, who wrote it?,” “I did.” However, I’ll trust a Rob Chapman self-evaluation more than a Steven Seagal self-evaluation every time!
Rob - Can you do something like this for your guitar models please please!! I am ready to buy one but am a large human ( 6'8 ) and everything looks like a toy on me. I want to support you and yours but Guitar Center doesn't stock any in the stores near me. I saw you do a review of the Wylde Audio Warhammer, which I own. It has the thickest most perfect neck ever. I need to know which of yours has the largest footprint/neck diameter and things like that. Anyhow.. it would be super cool for you and Rabea to do something like this for all your Chapman guitars. Thanks dood
In the Netherlands, as you Rob should know, we call something like this "Wij van WC Eend", translate "We of Toilet Duck". Toilet Duck or actually "WC Eend" is a popular brand of toilet cleaner who started their commercials like that. The opinion of the fabricator doesn't matter, because a butcher will also never say his meat is of poor quality. So the phrase of the toilet cleaner stuck and everyone here knows it means that it's like tooting your own horn. So Rob reviewing your own stuff... eh? Don't become a toilet duck mate. Showcasing is a different matter though, which I feel this is.
First of all: The WC Eend thing was very interesting. Good to know! But I strongly disagree with your impression of this video since he just showed us how he as the designer of this pedal uses it and a little bit what he had in mind in the process. If he would have constantly called it the best pedals in the world i would totally agree, but that just didn't happen
Rob, just a thought but, what would a Chapman with a set of dimarzio paf 59s and 50s wiring sound like with those pedals. Something I'd like to see. The pickups sound amazing perfecto de castro did a demo with them, the sound awesome.
Are your pedals limited runs? They look n sound awesome. I’ve looked for em where I live. What did you think of captain changing pick ups in his guitar?what would you suggest for pick ups in my 2019 gold top les Paul . It’s a tribute so I thought I’d F with it. Let’s say CHAPMAN The f***k out of it. Floyd rose?????
I haven't seen this, but I know that Rob is the kind of guy who wouldn't be biased towards his own products. Or maybe he is, I don't know lol. Either way a new Chap upload is a treat!
@@joeobrien6998 That could be definitely possible. As an entrepreneur and guitar gear manufacturer, you obviously want the best of the best to show and stand out y'know
With a guitar and amp combination like that it's going to be hard for those pedals to sound bad,maybe the katana and a similarly priced guitar would have been a better review.
I was a longtime fan, but unsubbed over this video.. deleting comments because you don't like them is wrong, especially when you are advertising pedals that you profit from.. and stating you are being impartial.. then say.. I'll tell you why they are worth it, that last part negates any impartiality.. then to delete that comment, well.. just wrong Rob. Reviewers should be reviewing your pedals, not you... no matter how much you try to claim impartiality, it's negated by your tie-in. If I was a troll I would understand, and expect to have comments deleted.. when I'm trying to point out something that might not be obvious to you, that's wrong. No company reviews their own products, that review wouldn't be trusted.
Pretty sure it's a Deusenberg guitar out of Germany. Can't find the exact model, but it seems close to their Bonneville model. [That D logo and some of their vintage body shapes, always make me instinctively think "Danelectro".] www.duesenbergusa.com/guitars/bonneville

Well this wont be biased
Indeed! He's just a shifty Snake Oil salesman! :D
Biased for tone! A soothing concoction of gain, fuzz and distortion. It'll cure what ails ya.
yeh...but the tone speaks for itself
Yeah, it kinda is, but considering these pedals were designed specifically according to Rob's desire, of course he's gonna like them.

That’s the cleanest “clean” signal I’ve heard you use Rob! lol good tones!
mike s
It pales in comparison to fluffs „clean“ tones
That main riff to "All " is such a great sounding piece of music . Love it .Those pedals do sound great in the hands of the designer.
Steve Durrant He didn’t design them.
I'm gonna quit smoking so i can buy both of them. Great fucking pedals man
Dad: I own a company that carries my name and manufactures guitars!
Also Dad: I bought you a PRS, son.
Great sounds, I enjoy them myself!
Oh, now the Engine makes more sense! It was noticeable the voicings of the Drive and Voice knobs were different, but not that they are actually two different gain stages that act on different frequencies.

Having you set it up also provides more insight on what it was intended for it. The crunch really did shine here.
Pretty cool video.
Andre Ribeiro Thanks dude, glad it helped :-)
You play with ease,sounds magic.
These pedals sound freekin awesome love the casing so artsy - nice playing Rob as usual. Love your feel.
Pedals sound great Rob!!! Thanks!!
They sound amazing, love the design work too. tremendous job.
Sound brilliant. Just ordered the marvellous engine from Thomann. Can't wait to try it out
The marvellous engine totally surprised me. Really good sounds.
At first was gonna buy just one. But now. Im sold on both!
That sounded quite enjoyable. I like the naming, too. Now of only these things of desire magically landed in my hands....
Hey Rob, if you ever need anyone else to keep that guitar warm I’d be happy to help!
Sir, you are such a versatile excellent guitar player!
Got My SnakeOil Pedals And Man, Better in Person Than Ever, These Pedals Are worth Every Cent. I would Love to Have A Tin For Plectrums With The SnakeOil Design That Would Look Awesome On The Board. Keep Rockin Those Tune And Keepin Music Alive You Always Give A lot to This World Of Music.

Love the Snake Oil theme and appearance. They look great
I have both snake oils, isnt it too trebly the marvelous one?
Well done & tasteful, Chappers!💪🏻👍🏻👋🏻Cheers, Harry
well, they're certainly the best _looking_ pedals i've seen yet 😂 ( as the video progresses, they sound nice too ).
They sure look better than average,but just imagine the relicing possibilities
Finally, an unbiased review!!!
They sound great!! I bet they would sound amazing in front of my Marshall silver jubilee!
I know nothing about guitar pedals but i seriously like the etchy rusty design of these
I see Dave Simpson loved these pedals - thank you so much for sending him them. He really nailed the intro jam - fantastic (have you seen it yet?).
Man that hard "R" on "thicker" seriously through me off. And I'm born and raised in Los Angeles lol

Yes
Stay a while, and listen.
Nice sounding pedals.
The Marvellous Engine sounds amazing. The gain sounds like a pushed preamp and the voice sounds like a pushed power amp stage. To me...
Very Nice stuff mr.chapman one Day this pedal will be mine hehe, I prefer the chapman sound over the prs tho
Rocking the SG shirt again I see. Love it!
If a pedal combo can go from mild classic rock to making Ola England happy (see the latest Will It Chug) it’s probably pretty awesome
Ola Englund made video about these. No need for any further video, Ola did great job.
Love your Black Rain Tee.
Pedals sound great, although a bit soft if you want them to cut thru in a mix, but it can be how the video was recorded. I will check out Rabea's and other demos, but I will probably buy both.
I really like the pedal case and graphics they are cool looking
Strange thing, your guitar sounds better with your pedals than that PRS does.
Sooooooo can't wait to buy one
Show of hands.. Who else sang the chorus for All? Definitely gonna have to get the marvelous engine though, that sounds great!
U R an inspirational dude Rob. Thx 🙏🏼
Instant AC/DC on that left pedal. 🤘🤘🤘
Not even close
I’m not sure what it is, and I’m sure it’s different in the room but to my ears it sounded like the tone control was lowered on the guitar for this video..?

Can we be honest about the first pedal being that rare - any pedal is rare if in small quantities. Doesn't make it good.
@Robbi Rose I've met you head-on with logic and you've buckled to knee jerk reply. hey that's fine. I respect you as as a person.
Of course I'm gonna get one of those pedals because I just love the man.
Somebody's getting these for Christmas!
Also, more Georgia, please!
The Very Thing seems kinda dark ME a bit brighter 😉 Work well together Cool Rob

(Chappers is awesome, by the way, so it could be both :) )
@@markuso1862 are you also Swedish, like me?
Niklas Fahlquist nope, sorry! ;)
Bit of both probably. Chappers does know his way around a fretboard and his company makes decent gear too (or so I've heard).

Thanks dood
So if the goal of the 2 pedals is to be a rig to plugin to the front of a clean amp. Why not just use something like an HX Stomp?
I bought these pedals and I noticed that the marv engine is too bright and more highs
This was cool.
In the Netherlands, as you Rob should know, we call something like this "Wij van WC Eend", translate "We of Toilet Duck".

Are there any more models in the works, to fill out the range?
Since I already have the kraken preamp it would be natural to buy one of those.

They are on my "to buy" list.
I would buy both just because, but I think I'll just get The Very Thing to push my Super Sonic distortion tone to the next level.
@Rob Chapman so you are running the drive pedal into the boost pedal?
This didn't come up in my subscription feed until today FYI
wow chappers, what on earth happened to your pedalboard? everything is properly stuck on and lined up!
Yeah it disgusts me.
I like you're accent. 🎸
Are your pedals limited runs? They look n sound awesome. I’ve looked for em where I live.

Nice.
Whats the blue Explorer-Style guitar? Is that a ghost fret prototype? The color looks really great
Good work @robchampman. What do they do with Bass guitars?
I haven't seen this, but I know that Rob is the kind of guy who wouldn't be biased towards his own products. Or maybe he is, I don't know lol. Either way a new Chap upload is a treat!
RC32 the way I see it is that he only makes products he can honestly say he is proud of
@@joeobrien6998 That could be definitely possible. As an entrepreneur and guitar gear manufacturer, you obviously want the best of the best to show and stand out y'know
I’ve yet to purchase something that Chappers reviewed that I didn’t end up agreeing with him on.
@@tresixteen Rob is definitely a trustworthy and respected figure in the guitar community! Really awesome guy is Rob
RC32 he’s just aware that his audience values his integrity. Who would follow gear reviewers that are clearly biased?
Review with an out og tune guitar.
I see that Red Rox in the background! How do you compare it to these?
With a guitar and amp combination like that it's going to be hard for those pedals to sound bad,maybe the katana and a similarly priced guitar would have been a better review.
Greeetings Rob, the pedels don´t react with the amp, the amp reacts to the pedal LOL
This video was infinitely more useful than "Will it chug" ... some great distortion tones. For crunch and metal, not so much.
Will these be part of the ongoing JAFOD series? ;-)
Rob, do you have any Retailers in the US for your Pedals? Thanks man!
Rob do you watch Dave Simpson you should call him great video.
Good !!??? Best !!😘
I'm sure about this but Rebea's demo sounded way better to my ears ;D
The pedals really came to life with hotter pickups
Your sons first guitar is better than my third one 😥😥

Dan_Sullivan There seems to be a misunderstanding here - I haven’t deleted any comments and never do! Sounds like a UA-cam issue
@@RobChappers I'll take you at your word.. and thank you for that.
Are you going to buy a guitar for your daughter as well?
are you sargon of akkad
Can we talk about that Big Trouble in Little China game instead? :O
Have to ask Rob, is that your face I see on the everything Stargate facebook page or have you got a double :)
John Wignall Haven’t seen it, must be a lookalike
Did you get a Danelectro guitar? Doesn't seem like something you'd like.
Pretty sure it's a Deusenberg guitar out of Germany. Can't find the exact model, but it seems close to their Bonneville model. [That D logo and some of their vintage body shapes, always make me instinctively think "Danelectro".]

They definitely look awesome. I do dig the sound when its lower gain. I am certainly not a high gain person.
Are you going to produce a double pedal containing both? You could call it the 'Universal Panacea'.
£300 set of pedals with much durability as a chocolate coin.
Seriously the metal is so soft they dent with the lightest touch.
You could say whatever you want... but it all comes down to the sound... and they sound DAMN good!
I have a line6 no need for pedals
Sell sell sell. Or you could save £80 and go for a Boss Od-200 unit. If I was starting fresh that's what I'd do. 🌴
You know what I'm going to say. Chapman acoustic please good sir. For the love of the holys
He wouldn't know where to put the pickups... ;-)
Bit too much off the fuzz in it for me
