    He tries to set them all the same, instead of setting them for how each one sounds best.

    yeah, it almost makes it pointless…… all it proves is that Pedal A can sound like pedal B and Pedal C, which when you are demoing a bunch of overdrives with the same guitar and amp it’s not exactly suprising is it?

    I think every pedal should be tested through 2 totally different amps with 2 totally different guitars, at similar and wildly different settings. When I go to my local store and try out a pedal, i bring along one of my guitars and think about how the other ones would sound through such a setup.

    ^^^ true astrozombie, and i agree with everyone on the quality of his vids, but unfortunately hes the only one do as many comparison vids as he does, despite weather they could be better or not, plus im sure he has limited funds as most of us, he gets requests to do different pedal demos all the time, so hes always buying new pedals, and probably hasn’t got around to saving enuf money for another amp and guitar, i keep doing the same thing myself dammit!

    could anyone explain some applications for the killswitch?

    #113847

    “Electro-Harmonix introduces the Killswitch, a pedal which provides utilitarian functionality and two distinct modes of operation. In Line Selector mode, the pedal lets the player rapidly switch between its effects loop or a dry signal. In this mode, the scope of the pedal’s use is only limited by the player’s creative vision. It can, for example, be used to quickly switch in the effects loop, thereby introducing a burst of distortion, analog delay induced feedback, ring modulation, etc. It can also be tapped in time with what is being played to bring effects in and out of the signal path rhythmically. This is especially interesting when one of the effects is a delay.

    In Kill Mode, the Killswitch can be used to provide convenient instant muting. It can also be used to create interesting stutter effects by turning the instrument’s signal abruptly on and off while bending a note or inducing feedback.

    Housed in a solid die-cast package, with a 4.37″ long by 2.37″ wide footprint, the Killswitch is pedalboard ready. It is equipped with a 9V battery and can also be powered by a standard 9.6V/DC200mA AC adapter. The Killswitch is shipping now with a U.S. list price of $60.”

    I also feel the same about GMD and his clips, but the same can be said about PGS clips and some other youtube stompbox channels.. And most overdrives just sound the same over youtube imho.. There are of course exceptions, but when I see overdrive clips in my Youtube subscription box, I just skip them!

    I think there is, there’s a little star on the pictures of the Rate Knob and I think if you put it before that point, it’s in Filter Matrix, past and it goes to Flangeing.

    Agreed, back to the old days where you had to set the knobs on the Memory Man to the Stars for Chorus.

    It appears that the Talking Machine has a really smooth attack and also has a ton of presets. That demo didn’t really do much for me though. It was just a couple seconds with a couple of chords and riffs and with cameraphone audio quality. Actually I think my phone records better audio.
