First of all, he played the Back In Black main riff wrong. Both endings, just off. Wrong notes. Pissed me off. And I like the original solo much more. This guy sucks.
Does he not know how to palm mute the intro to Walk This Way? These are fucking
classic ass songs. How do you fuck them up? I like the vocal style on this one though, guitarist still blows. Is that his idea of sweep picking for his lead part in this one too? The second set of leads is just embarassing, I would be ashamed of myself if I ever butchered a classic like this. Aside from the vocals on this one, I prefer the original version.
Because of the last two disappointments, I refuse to listen to the third clip.
Now, what would help to show how this pedal sounds, compared to what a TS does, is to have clips of it on and off. We have no idea what the fuck the original tone (without the pedal) sounds like. This could be just some guy's normal tone out of his amp. How the hell do we know if there is a boost of any kind hitting the pre? Because he said so? Wow. Then yeah this pedal fucking blows.
Actually, I didn't really listen to the guitar tone as much as how horrible the guy was butchering these classic songs. I, for one, am ashamed of my own kind (guitarists) because of this travesty. I was too distracted by his failed recreation of those historic riffs to even care about what the guitars sounded like.
So, in summary, I don't care about this pedal, the TS-9 is better. I bet you anything. Maxon is better. I bet you anything. Sorry, just my 2 cents. Have a good day.
