I literally pulled out my Duellist last night and plugged it in, which is something I rarely do at home, and was again blown away by how good this pedal sounds.
I bet you sound pretty good too!
Great demo. Love the Jack and John hanging out style!
all the tones that came out of the es335 were sublime! awesome player as well.
You two guys pound for pound are the best guitarists on CZcams and a good chunk of social media I could listen to you for hours and as I’m a new 60s les paul standard owner Jack is an absolute genius and if your store is half as good as your playing content then it’s guitar nirvana.
Depends on style. Danish Pete Honore is as good as them, for metal, Rob Chapman is better
You don't watch a lot of youtube then. Don't get me wrong, they're great, but there's plenty more that are just as good, if not, better than them (at certain things).
Fair point. I do watch a few channels but mainly because I want to see reviews of kit which I think Andertons are good at and are very good with customers too.
Peach, Dagan at PMT, and several others are not quite there for me but that’s my preference.
Check out Pete Thorn and Shawn Tubbs
Plenty of better players. I heard this same comment about the guys from Chicago Music Exchange. There’s just better out there. Venture out more.
Absolutely incredible tones! Stratty as a strat gets! And this guy with the glasses can play! Wow!
I bought one.
It arrived in 5 days.
Thank you for introducing me to the wonderful tone.
Mine arrived in 2 days 😂 I was absolutely shocked. Best pedal I’ve ever owned
That works for me. First great understatement of 2022
Love it. In my experience, the closer you get to the equipment the artist originally used, the "better" it sounds, so the Super is a big part of it. Don't need a Dumble. However, the pedal adds that extra element that makes these sounds possible without hearing damage. And of course, the player nailing the SRV style makes it all come alive. Well done.
WOW ! incredible tone !!! I want one !!!
This was THE best sound you guys have ever had! Killer amp 🔥 Killer guitars 🔥 Killer playing 🔥 and the pedal just takes it into the stratosphere 🚀
I couldn't agree more.
In the presence of greatness
Agreed…I’ve been chasing that 335 tone since I first saw this vid about nine months ago
Ace tones. Got to love the Strat-into-Super combo!
If I could be so bold as to offer one piece of constructive criticism, it might be that it'd be good to hear some more basic playing; maybe some slower licks, double stops, chords, differences in dynamic range (pick attack i nparticular). John's playing is great - but the high speed blues licks make for mainly listening to the playing rather than hearing the subtleties of the pedal switches and settings.
Just got mine yesterday and tbh I enjoy it most with the dip switches at their stock setting, A-B, and both sides on the glass setting. I do however only play in my bedroom and that’s just what sounds best in the room
Did you get V2? Does it sound better then the revival drive orgineffects? I am leaning towards Duellist.
My review for anyone that cares (lol): Received a new Duellist the other day and took the day to compare it to my new Protein dual overdrive. Although I liked the Duellist a lot, I found it to have too much mids and loss of base no matter which EQ settings tried; both of which you don't get with the Protein. For SRV tone, both pedals get you there though theres more gain with the Duellist if that's your thing....just not my thing usually. If I need more gain than when running both sides of the Protein, I use a modded vintage RAT! PS...tested with an original 1964 Fender Super Reverb and then a Fender 1964 Custom Deluxe (vol on 7) using a 1962 CS Fender Strat
This demo impressed me so much that I bought one from you on the spot… and have to report it sounds amazing… thanks guys! 🎸😉👍
Please don’t think we could ever get board of hearing a Strat sound that good awesome playing.😍
What an awesome sound. I think John said it dumble tones are definitely there. It's one of those pedals you get three great sounds out of with a strat then three different sounds with a les Paul
Love your channel guys! I have to say that when you first played the Strat with that Super, I thought to myself, game over. That tone needed nothing else, regardless of how good the pedal is. Great stuff!
Thanks, David! A Strat and a Super is about as good as it gets, right!? There aren't many pedals that could sit in the middle and improve that pairing, but somehow Jesse and his team at King Tone have done it!
Thanks Peach Guitars, I picked my 2022 Duellist up from the store at the weekend and it sounds great.
I think that might be the best strat sound I’ve ever heard! Now all I need is a 6 grand master built strat, a vintage Super probably worth the same or more, and somewhere to turn it up as loud as a jet engine!! Almost makes you want to give up altogether! 😭😭😭
That’s the best-sounding drive pedal I think I’ve ever heard.
What a great video , You guys truly know what you are talking about when it comes down to tone, great playing also.
That raw with that amp sounds amazing possibly the best sound Iv heard in many years, that rig is amazing without any additional assistance what an amazing guitar and amp, it’s what. Dreams are made of!!! Can’t deny an amazing pedal that will make my pedals redundant, Mr peach is also an amazing guiltiest to say the least
Both of you guys sounded great! Really awesome playing!
I've heard this pedal (previous version) on another channel and I could never figure out why some people were so excited about it.
This video changed my mind completely. This is amazing!!!
Off course, the guitars and the Super Reverb don't hurt either, but that's why I would LOVE to hear this pedal and these guitars into an AC30 and/or an AC15, because that's where I live.
Thanks for the great video. I've been watching some of your videos lately (they just pop up all the time) and I really like them, so I better subscribe to this channel. Keep up the good work! 😎👍
Love this! For as long as I’ve been watching your channel, I’ve always wanted to hear those old fenders get some love. Of course I understand why you’d usually go thru new and accessible amps since you are a store after all. But it was great to hear an old fender this time! Killer tones and fantastic playing! And the Duelist enhances it all that much more! Great stuff guys, cheers
Great. Now I'm gassing for a Super Reverb LOL. KILLER tones and great video as always. Peach Guitars is one of my favorite youtube channels now!
Truly one of the best Strat sounds I’ve heard here on CZcams and overall. Great playing too. And as stated here, that amp and the player of course accounted for most of the time, but I’ve been wanting to get a hold of this pedal for long. My ToneMaster Super will need to do or now and brings other advantages.
PLEASE make a Kemper profile of that amp / mic combo. That is an unbelievable sound! Or just some profiles of other tones you get because they are SO good.
It should be noted that the Super Reverb is set to the sweet spot (which is loud as hell) - that's where 90% of the awesome tone here is coming from. The Duellist isn't going to sound like this into a clean amp.
Every CZcams demo I take it with a grain of salt, they’re probably playing at gig volume which I’ll never be able to do at home. But it’s nice to hear what it could sound like if I play a show with a band.
@@llwonder get an attenuator
'My ears are hurting', Jack says, while he's wearing earplugs. Says everything, basically.
@@basheideman Exactly. Hopefully they add a decibel meter
100%. Overdrive pedals used to be designed for this purpose specifically - to boost an already driven sound. Amp is driving, THEN kick on your OVERdrive. Klon and TS pedals sound absolutely best in this context in my experience.
You own Gary moore gear…..you now have my respect.
Sounds incredible but I’d like to see it with some more obtainable amps, even Princeton style amps in a more home environment than gig volumes.
Princeton is perfect but can easily be too loud at home in it’s sweet spot. I have the special Ed with 12” speaker - perfect. Upgrade the output transformer to make it a clean machine without the flubby base.
Basically there’s everything here, from Hendrix to SRV to the first Mayer… To me this is the best dual overdrive pedal ever made till now… Jesse Davey is such a brilliant and talented “sound reproducer” that makes you actually feel “that” vibration and vibe through your amp! I have the Vintage Fuzz II and oh my God what for a heavenly sound!!!
great playing from both John and Jack
Fantastic demo! I really loved the 335 tones! WOW
To be honest anything is going to sound pretty good through that Great Amp !!
Omg that riff at 15:57, it’s sublime. What is it? Just improv? Next level juicy goodness.
I love the pedal and this channel. Please don’t stop using it 🤤mmmmm those sweet delicious tones. Tone heaven.
I’ve always thought the Blues Power was the best Kingtone pedal, but I’ll have to dig out my Duellist now
I badly want a BP pedal
@@thejamnasium6447 you should definitely get one. They are so good. I had to get a second just to make sure I had a spare!
I certainly think the Blues Power is the best Kingtone pedal for what it's worth too. I've owned (and sold) a Duellist - only sold it to reduce pedalboard space so I basically swapped it for the Soloist in that spot as I never really used side B as the Blues Power does a much better general amp-like overdrive for my money. Best one I've ever come across actually to be honest!
@@cowieson I’ve got a Soloist too, but I never really found a use for it - the Blues Power just does it for me
@@steveburroughs7343 Yeah to be completely honest about it, I mainly still have the Soloist just to kick on every now and then to nail a particular part in an SRV track when playing along. But I much, much prefer the base sound I get just with the Blues Power alone! (I also have a Ge mini fuzz which sounds totally epic into the Blues Power!)
This might be the best strat tone I've ever heard.
Superb, great review, as always a review for grown ups!
Man what a glorious tone
12:40 "that sounds good as hell." My thoughts exactly.
I have a super reverb reissue and this pedal and it's fantastic . I also have a fender super sonic 22 I set the burn channel to just break up the use the string singer side to push it and wow!, really brings that amp to life man at a reasonable volume. Got a pedal pawn fuzz and a jhs unicorn univibe and it's so much fun man .
Great playing and amazing sounds! Very fun.
It would be really good to test these pedals through average everyday amps. Blues jnr, princeton reverb, vox ac15 etc. Not everyone has these killer kind of amps. Lord knows I wish I did. Same with the guitars. How about a player series, vintera, american standard. Just some thoughts.
That 335 sounded unbelievable.
Awesome playing guys great Sounding Pedal
by 08:26 sound reminded me that of Johnny Winter
Amazing video with outstanding players.
You should have filmed the pedal from above, to see the settings. But that's my only "complaint" here.
But we got the idea of the pedal.
I'd never ever need another pedal now. I've gone through a lot of pedals 'till I found this.
Although it's not cheap but it was worth every cent.
It's on all the time. I use a Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster as my clean boost after the pedal for the extra volume for soloing and use the volume knob alot.
That sounds PHAT!!!
VERY kool!!
I have held off buying one but now I will buy one this year
{Edit} Do you guys know if Jesse will be updating any other pedals from his line?
Saw on his video about the updates to the duellist that he's going to update his vibe pedal as well
What P/Us are in that Strat!!!! sounds outstanding guys - thanks
Wow! no bad tones there!! Lovely stuff
Sounds like a great pedal......it works for me too
Great sound.
I posted my comment before I heard the 335, it sounds like a chainsaw!! Glorious!
That coffee on top of the Heisenberg-capped amp is freaking me out.
I got the new version called the dual gun. Slightly more expensive at $499 as the guy on ebay said it was the new version and not many official stockists have it in stock yet.
I hope you're joking! If not I'm sure it's a decent clone, but nothing will beat the Duellist, it's a staple on our board and is on pretty much everything we record!
Duellist vs. Blues Power question: Would you agree that the BP is solely focused on the SRV/Texas Blues and The Duellist is a bit more versatile to pair with other pedals, even a bit of chorus(thinking of later Gilmour lush solo work), for more variation?.....The Duellist as a "more option" tone shaper?
Mhmmm 😘 Love to hear that into a Dr Z Maz 18NR (my new amp from you guys) 🙂
wow Cool Sound
Killer tone as always
You guys are great players. Heard some nice sounds but I would not call this a pedal review because we only saw the side of the pedal. and not certain what was being engaged on top with the switches and dials. Made it really hard to get an idea of what the controls are.
Hi, what kind of battery are you using?
The pedal comes from the factory with an alkaline battery, and it sounds very different if you use a carbon zinc battery. From my point of view, much better, a more natural and organic sound.
Duellist is even better when powered with 18V. Everything John likes is enhanced at 18V. IMO it's even more amp-like.
Sounds amazing and I would love to get one. Slightly concerned about the dip switches on the outside, are they recessed enough?
I would worry about them getting knocked/broken when gigging.
Good morning, excellent video and beautiful tones, I would like to ask, wich speaker is in this Super Reverb amp?
Is there a difference between the black and silver version? Or just aesthetics?
I like to see the settings that go with the tones. The switches on the side don't really offer much to look at; 'a bit disappointing really.
The Dsm humboldt silver linings does just about the same stuff.
I remember when my mother used to say, "Son, start with a huge MF sound that rips MF heads off. Then any pedal will do the trick after that."
Well, nobody really said that to me but the proof is right here.
Great. No attenuator used? I see earplugs.
Unbelievable sound! I’m curious about a few things though.
- What pickups are in that sweet custom shop Strat? They’re the best I’ve heard.
- What model and year is the Fender Amp? Any mods done to it?
Thanks!
I can't speak to the pickup question (although I suspect they're the MF Guitars "Number one" which Peach sell) but they mentioned the amp at 0:49 as being a '66 Super Reverb.
Does anyone know the details of that Strat please?
Why do you get a tortishell pickguard to be orangeish color instead of red? I would like to find one like the peach guitars looks orangeish red color
Jesus. That tone is Gold.
I love the colour of the body, like a butter cream?
What IS the colour of that guitar?
Is it a Strat?
And such a dark neck MWAH 💋
Tell us about the guitar. The pick guard just sets it off!
It's tortoiseshell or pearloid?
It's amazing! Please tell ALL!😃😃😃🙏
I'm only at 7:23 in the video.
Thats an Awesome Amp¡ a friend of mine trew one to the garbage many years ago. Did not sell it to anyone¡😪🎸🎸✌✌
The pedal is certainly good, but too many combinations in one place.
What to choose, when everything is good and different?
For those who are on stage, it is complicated to change mods.
I wonder if this pedal would sound good in front of a Milkman Creamer amp or a Morgan AC20?
How does it compare to the King of Tone pedal by Analog Man?
The Strat is killing me. Don’t get me wrong, amp, pedal and hands. Is that an old one or custom shop?
oooh that amp...
Is that Gibson one of the new 61's?
Think it’s jacks time for his own line of pedals it works for Danish Pete ??
@peachguitars - What pickups are in this white Strat?
What pickups do you have in that strat, are those Bluebird J1s? It sounds perfect SRV-Jesse Davey-Sayce.
Mark Foley El Mocambo Number one set
If I may offer some constructive criticism - you should point out that a Super Reverb at that volume isn't going to sound like that at volume 1 at home. Next, show us your settings, don't just fiddle with the pedal and then show us how good it sounds! You are clearly both very skilled guitarists, but the demo lacked details for me. Sounds were devine though.
Would be great if the soloist had these new features too!
They have, its called The Duellist;-)
U can get the double soloist aka the duellist
I keep coming back to this video just to listen to that guy play lol.
what kind of guitar is that?
Well shit, I just bought the other duelist 2 weeks ago😅😅😅
F my dude
Leave the pedal off... that SR & Strat sound amazing 👏 😍
Are they brothers?
Sounds way better with no pedal .
Which side is the metal zone...
The middle part is the metal zone, and the left side is based on the DOD death metal
Well done vid! Don't see why anyone raves about SRV or Eric Clapton. If you'd want to rave about blues players you could mention Robin Trower, Chuck Dean or Mick Taylor. Hendrix was in his own class but it's nice to hear someone doing his stuff, quite well if I may say so. My favorite guitarist is Ritchie Blackmore but he's in a class of his own as well.
What an amp…
Good pedal, but damn that gtr and amp sound ridiculous
That guy working for peach guitar actually don’t know who Scotty Moore is ?
Demonfx do exact copy, sounds the same, same components suckers pay for the name and wait for years for it
