Dylan, thanks for thinking these reviews through the way you do. It's nice to have an informative review as an alternate to the A/B reviews. Well done.
so it's much easier to create distortion in a mid-range signal because you're essentially trying to square the wave with diodes. The TS pedal was one of the first to do this and why it's so popular. Of course it does have its problems because it is very mid-range. so the art of modern pedal design tries to improve on this through increasing just a little bit of bass or a little bit of treble, or putting it in different feedback loops or whatever.
Bought one a few weeks ago as I was in the market for a TS style pedal and the ones I have had in the past I have from Ibanez have been ok but I was looking for something more .. and I found it in this pedal
Dang it Dylan (DiD), I said I wasn't going to buy anymore pedals but... I haven't been totally happy with my tube screamer setup. Gonna have to try this one.
I'd like to know if this pedal has a lot of volume. The reason I say this is because not too long ago I bought the Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini and I was so disappointed with it because, although it had a good sound, it didn't have enough volume over my clean sound, even with the level and gain dimed. This made it virtually unusable for me.
From Leo: Been using tube screamers since the mid/late 80's. Mostly into a Fender twin Reverb. Never had any trouble dialing them in. As popular as Tube Screamers have been for as many decades, I would believe plenty of others have no problems either.
There are plenty tube screamers that sound good. The difference is that you can get amazing tone out of the Moxie regardless of whether or not your playing a Tele or 335 because of the versatility built into the pedal. With all the clipping options and switching, it gives you 3 different classic TS tones and again the ability to dial in that tone no matter what guitar is going into it. The fact that these go for about a hundred bucks makes it a no brainer, even if it was over 150, it does everything vintage Ibanez pedals do and more so it would still be worth it in my opinion.
Really like the pedal, but the Blackstar sounds great I have the JHS Bonsai pedal, but this kinda adds another dimension. I have the Blackstar JJN20 with EL84’s which I like. Might have to wait for that St. James 2x12.
I still don’t have a TS style pedal. (Most of my life I’ve been a multi-effects guy. I’m only more recently getting into individual pedals.) I was eyeing the JHS Moonshine, which isn’t really a TS, but it is in the neighborhood. And it has a blend control, which is something I think I’d like. Since the Origin Halcyon has come out, though, I think I’ll end up going that way. Expensive, but I like the feature set.
Good video, thanks. For those of us who aren't into petals that much I'd love to see a video describing what is in a generic pedal. Is it basically caps and resistors or are there other parts that help it shape the tone? Lastly, this is the first time I've heard that guitar play. I believe that's the guitar that you're building out in Colorado now? What's the name of that guitar? I see it's part Les Paul and part Telecaster. How do you refer to it? It sounds good.
Capacitors, resistors, diodes, transistors, op-amps, bucket-brigade chips, and/or DSPs. A fuzz can have nothing more complex than one transistor (along with the less complex components.) A Ratt or TS will have an op-amp. An analog delay or chorus will typically have one or more bucket-brigade chips. (Note that a op-amp or bucket-brigade chip is just a bunch of simpler components packed together on a chip.) A reverb will usually have a DSP.
All these youtubers sleeping on the Way Huge Green Rhino. The Green Rhino has been doing this but better for a long long time, and even more headroom, more gain, and more tweak ability.

Wampler pedals are great, really like how they always seem to add something new to the classics.
Thank you for this great demo on the screamer. Made a ton of sense on the edge and how it can go there. I like it!
Thanks! Very helpful. I had a similarly positive reaction the the mini Wampler Belle.

Very informative video on information I didn’t know. Thanks much.
Just got this pedal. Nice to find this video thanks

I've never been a big TS fan, but this might change things.
Agree.
I'm not a big TS guy, but this one sounded great!
Agree
I like Wampler Pedals. I'm considering a few Wampler Pedals for my pedalboard
Really good video style. Good content. Intelligent guy.

I can see how this pedal will be a great tool for pickup construction.

I'm good. The OD-820 is all I need. 😉

It's the Batfish. His design or creation!

@@RobertFisher1969 you can tell how little I know about pedals because I misspelled pedals in my comment.
Similar to the EQD Dunes I think

🤘
Best pedal tutorial ever!
Watching one guy turning the controls while another guy plays random licks isn’t that helpful.
Who you calling “Honky?”
Thrash guys use TS’s. Very chunky.
