Man, thank you for not stressing the SRV sound
You are still so underrated. Every time I see you play, I am in awe. Because practice is one thing, but this level of SOUL? There are no tabs for that. A gift, thatâs what it is. Thank you so much for your videos.
Stand out pedal for sure! Great playing RJ!
Thanks Shawn!! đđ
You have single-handedly convinced me to purchase this pedal for my blues learning and playing. You have the best demo of this pedal here on CZcams. Thank you.
@@RealMNeutral31 How do you like the pedal. For me it's this or a OriginEffects RevivalDRIVE. Leaning towards this- esp. the new V2 version with SRV mods and external dips.
Always one of my favorite guitarists to listen to, you and Pete Thorn both.
Keep it up man, so so good.
As soon as you hit both switches, you answered my question!!!! DAMN DUDE! This is what Heavy As I needs live!
Brother you sit in that groove like MTF!!! đđżđđżđđż
The Duellist and Blues Power are my favorite pedals Iâve bought in the last few years. Canât say enough good things about the tones Iâm able to get out of them, how easy they are to dial in, how well they pair with my Strat and Tele into Fender amps, and King Toneâs outstanding customer service.
Its a journey.
So many colors, tones, love, pain, born to play all those emotive.
I'm gonna go practice..
Turns out the Duelist can nail quasi-Robben tones!!! Killer playing RJ
Folks! I mean, all you guys out there...!! R.J. Ronquillo is THE most inspiring teacher here in the You Tube world! HE is THAT inspiring to me, shares great lessons, shows us loads of cool riffs, sounds, guitars and and and... - He's Nr. 1 for me! Pls keep up the brilly-lilly work on here! BIG thank you R.J. !!!
Great expressive playing! Thanks for demo-ing this pedal with humbuckers.
I love my Duellist pedal!
So used to hear reviews by half ass players.. smart jazz voicings. Good playing
Picked mine up the other day. Took it to jam yesterday, and it sounded HUGE through the provided Boss Katana amps.
The guyâs jaws dropped when they heard my tone with the Duellist! Best OD pedal Iâve owned in a long time!! đž
Incredible playing there. The pedal sounds good as well.
You are such a killer player man. Please take this as a compliment, I often find myself watching another demo video after yours of the same piece of gear to "verify," so to speak, that it sounds good. Your tone, feel, sensitivity, passion, and dynamic control are off the charts regardless of what gear you are using. I love the way you play and I am absolutely going broke (happily) purchasing some of the gear you demo. I really love the king tone stuff. Crazy tube circuits are pretty killer too. If you are in to wahs, Kevin Wilson makes some pretty good ones. Again, I love your playing and enjoy your videos very much.
That's it! I am just going to make a playlist of all his demos. Better than 99.9% of the music out there today! Awesome!
Boy, thatâs some damn good pickinâ! You make that pedal work for itâs money!
PLEASE do a Strat Demo if you have the time, The Duellist needs a good high quality audio Strat Demo :D
I have this pedal. Ironically, it sounds MUCH better with my Gibson with humbuckers then it does with any of my three fender strats. It's okay as a clean boost with my fender strats, but I have a Xotic Clean Boost and the Analogman KOT for that - both of which sound better with my strats. It's just with the strats it sounds tinny and compressed as HELL. But it does come alive with humbuckers. So I will be selling mine.
Robert Pajkovski HBâs Rock.
I have the Duellist, and itâs my favorite pedal that I own. It does sound great in this video, but with a Strat itâs off the charts amazing!
That out side lick is đ„
I'm not sure if I was watching for the pedal or the tunes. Beautiful.
Unbelieveable playing on this vid RJ, congrats!
one of the tastiest players. killer timing bro!!
Hot Milk Crew Berlin yea I can tell he has put in the work to get to a pro level but some players are more interesting than others and RJ always catches my interest
marvellous it is, that you've got in your hands. Thank you very much for your playing.
Just ordered this pedal.
Geeeeeez that sounds good. Killer tones and playing RJ. The playing from 9:00 to 10:00 was RIDICULOUS. Don't need another $350 overdrive, but that is TEMPTING.
I have this one, plugged into my Marshall JTM1 Offset.... pure heaven, both with my Blackie or my Little Lucille. A MUST HAVE PEDAL
That was awesomely fantastic! Great playing
When you turn in to learn more about a pedal...and just end up feeling bad about yourself. As always, some amazing playing!
I've heard guitars called 'tone machines', I've heard amps called 'tone machines', but I've not often heard pedals being tagged with that label. This one might be THE Tone Machine king. Want to add 24 pickups to your guitar? Here ya go!
Jesse makes some great stuff. I have his germanium mini fuzz & itâs stellar!
The silicon one is great too. Both are killer and keepers.
In the zone...nice, In the zone for 11;36 minutes ? Incredibly NICE....Great job !
Wow that opening jam! Tasty as hell RJ! and that pedal sounds amazing. Love when you bust out that Knaggs-killer guitar.
This is Lovely! Wow the tone and picking. Gotta grab this pedal.
GREAT PEDAL THERE I'VE HAD TWO OF THEM THE FIRST ONE I WORE OUT BUT THEN AGAIN IT GOT DROPPED A FEW BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT PEDAL. VERY EASY AND SIMPLE TO USE COME UP WITH YOUR OWN UNIQUE PLAY IN SYSTEM FROM A PEDAL
Great demo! I have Jessie's Bluespower pedal and love the damn thing. He makes outstanding stuff.
This is one one of those pedals.... It happens to sound fantastic, but that doesn't matter. It looks so dam cool its going on my board!
I think I'm gonna save this video and try to steal some licks. You burned it up man.
In that case you're lucky it sounds fantastic, spending $600 on a pedal because it looks cool. Wow haha
@@jakehyrule7260 Great point!
Your playing is so amazing, I totally love it!!!
With the King of Tone, one of my favorites. I 've got a (very) good one though: French-made Riff Shooter with also a lot of tweaking options: triple toggle for dirt, "sound" and "voice" pots, plus the usual EQ and a "patate" booster ! ! ;-) Great playing as usual RJ \m/
10:21 : that riff/tone is killing me đ”
God this thing sounds so sick!!!
Man I so wanna see you play this with a strat!! This sounds killer though!!
Glad you made a demo focusing on humbucker equipped guitars. Duellist has displaced every drive on my board except for my old COT50. Hard to beat it.
I've seen plenty of videos of this with Strats but man with humbuckers this thing is FAT. Awesome playing also helps to hear how this thing sings.
R. J., I love this bluesy tune you are playing here. Great performance bro.
Sounds awesome!
I have The Duellist, a Marshall Bluesbreaker mk1, and Analog King of Tone. All do their own own thing with some overlap. All great, but when using The Duellist, I typically use the String Singer side (TS inspired). The Duellist has crazy amounts of volume on tap. The Fat, Stock, and Glass switch was a great idea. Enjoying your channel RJ.
You ever stack the duelist with the KOT? Thinking of getting one to partner up with mine
@@justingarcia7722 I have this gain stage order: KOT>Marshall Blues Breaker mk1>The Duelleist>Tumnus Deluxe. I will often use the KOT to boost either pedal directly after or, more often, the Tumnus Deluxe boosting anything before. Also, because they are similar, I set them up to work best, but complimentary, with different guitars without having to bend down mid-song to tweak.
Matt Elder thanks man, sounds like a great pedal. Currently using a KOT and Hamstead Odyssey but Iâm missing a TS, more mid full style sound to get on the fly, this pedal seems the ticket. Nice set of pedals!
I love a majority of RJ's videos.. But this is nothing short of pandering for the system. His riffs and runs on the guitar make it sound o.k.. but at the end of the day *HE* is the one who makes it great. Forget the amp, guitar, and pedal. RJ is the one that makes it sing and sound wonderful. Anyone can learn to play guitar, but a select few can make it scream. A++ Well done again, RJ!!
Thanks for the kind words!
That playing is awesome!
Dude, that improv was top notch đđŒ
Awesome pedal!!! I love the Duellist especially for that stratty SRV thing!!! Nice to finally see a review of this pedal with HBâs though. But to be honest RJ, you would sound awesome playing through anything!!!
vine a ver el pedal pero me quede disfrutando de este blues mientras desayuno jajajaja
Beautiful tones, no matter what the setting. Great demo!
great pedal but better player!!
Man that neck pickup sounds great.
Yeah man! Great phrasing. Great tones. Love it!
Great video great petal great Playing I have one.
I didn't know you could run both sides into same time.
I guess I gives you a little extra punch..
Beautiful playing R.J.! Smokin' tones from the Knaggs & the pedal too.
Oh my god that t-shirt!!! Love it!
Sooo nice.... the pedal too. great demo, Duelist is not just for strats. Wow
Awesome demo and playing RJ!!! Also, cool backing track :)
You and that Knaggs are pure MAGIC!
Thanks rockinchango!! đđ
Great job! That pedal is now out of stock! Yeah, I'm checking out as many of your vids as possible, I've got a ton of pedals but this one makes me want to throw a few in the trash!
Love your playing. Love that tone.
Love mine! Fantastic demo as always.
What a legend đ. Face melted.
Awesome playing, amazing!
Use mine with my Tele all the time. Amazing pedal
Great demo and great playing.
Awesome playing RJ! Can you please do a lesson on Reggae guitar? Particularly soloing ideas over some common chord progressions, guitar tone and effects/amp setup? Iâm certain you brought a unique voice to the reggae bands youâve toured and recorded with in the past. Thank you!!!
Yes!
You got a lot of talent, RJ! Sounded great!
That Doug Rappaport Knaggs sounds amazing.
Awesome demo! But sounds really like my BB preamp made by Xotic, and for the price you can buy 4 used BBâŠ
Wonderful play!
Great playing!!! And good pedal also
My next pedal , for sure !
I would like to see this pedal with a PRS guitar , to compare
Great...just order the pedal..
super cool note choices! Breaking out of the I-IV-V humdrum, but not so far that it's not melodic.
you can definitely make those steel strings sing !
Great playing man đ
Great demo, R.J.! I just tried the Duellist yesterday, and it was instant gratification the moment I turned it on! Will have to get one!
RJ could make a box of rocks and sticks sound awesome
Sick playing - đ
Stellar playing!!!
What a player!
Great playing
Love it!
some great playing!!!
Yes! Sounds so good...and killer playing too
I love that Knaggs guitar, but I have such a hangup over the pickups being different colors. Itâs the pea under the mattress of this, uh, princess. I wish to holy hell that either the bridge was plain black or (preferably) that the neck was also a zebra. Zebra humbuckers always look killer.
I kinda agree with you, but never been a fan of zebra pickups so I would get a black bridge.
R.J. Ronquillo Go for it! If only to help with my OCD. đ
You sound great man!
Impressive RJ
Tasty groove.
Great player!
Oh man I need one of these.
Killin it đȘ
Oh my, when you kicked the uni-vibe in...
RJ is so good I would love watching him play a tennis racket plugged into a boom box if that were possible. Im also a D area native and I want to know @RJRonquillo do you ever do gigs where you would play the Token or Machine shop or something? Ever play up here anymore?
Killer sounds man...as always.
Bravo!
Nice shirt and even nicer playing!
