I am very fortunate in that I have found Kingsley pedals and my Victory amp. I have not wanted another pedal since. Even when I hook up my favorite pedals....I almost always end up with them turned off except for The Maiden. I have never been happier that I no longer have the urge to buy new pedals. ...But I won't stop watching your vids.....Your playing is spectacular. Cheers.
Kingsley tube pedals are the ultimate tone machines! I wish I had a few!!! It would be hard to go back to any analog solid state drive pedals....and that's saying a lot, as there are many really good ones out there!!!!!
@@markholmes2665 I just said yesterday only thing that would pull crazy tube circuits off my board is Kingsley. Oh yea, and my kids leaving the house😅. CTC is my absolute favorite company they just do everything I like the way I like it. And this channel is where I come to before I buy. Shawn just does everything I like like I like it!
Love the killer changes to this new tune Shawn. Great playing as always. This pedal seems like something I need to explore. Hmmmm. Great Robyn Ford quote in your playing Shawn. Stay well well.
Sounded Awesome Shawn, loved like Bluesy Vibes and showing a lot of the Features and i own the Crossfire Crazy Tube Circuits and love These line of effects Your Music-In-Law 🤘🎸🤠
Revisiting… in my excitement of one that’s on the way to my doorstep! Shawn, am I nuttz or is this one of the (if not THE) most perfect overall group of tones from a dirt box you’ve ever had on your channel. I’d be interested to know what you think could possibly top this… or even compare…(?) Dude, you rock!
I have tried so many pedals and now use the Unobtainium on my 3 pedalboards. My big one,the middle size fly rig and the backpack fly rig. I love this pedal for all the reasons you expressed and is a 3 in 1 unit which is really versatile. I love the Unobtainium and have already ordered the Raw… but only one 🤣🤣
Great video and tone as per usual! It's interesting that most of us "jazz" players don't use the jazz setting on the SSS setting. Only time it makes sense is with a fully hollow body. It mitigates the low end but if you're using the volume knob on the guitar, you will lose more of that bottom end on the jazz setting. I have enough D style pedals but I really love this CTC Unobtanium pedal. Thanks Shawn.
Wheeeeww!! Some insane depth to the attack. Man, beside the always incredible fretwork, this is one of the most pure and perfect sounding drives I’ve ever heard on any demo, ever. Totally my wheelhouse!!! When will these be available?
Which pedal is better in your opinion? The OG or this one? I’m more a fan of clean distortion if you understand. I hear an amazing amount of overtones which sound great!
The two pedals are voiced differently. If you really love "Marshall" sounds, the Kokopelli is great. If you lean towards "Dumble" overdrive, go with the Unobtanium. Both are great pedals.
@ 1:31... okay WTF!!? (hmmm, now if only I could slow it down to 1/100th, I maybe just might be able to figure out what you is DOIN' ?!?) The undecipherable-um on the UNOBTANIUM (just unbelievium)

@@markholmes2665 It's funny how different people are. I had the Maiden BF and Maiden D and sold both.
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words!

You are right. The crazy tube circuits sound good. But the kingsley pedals are unrivaled. But it's mostly also a matter of personal taste.
Sounds great ! But look who's playing it. Thanks Shawn now I want one.
sweet intro demo sounded like a bit of alan holdsworth and lee rittenhour great stuff
That is some crazy edge of breakup! Even through all the different pickups! WOW!
Great demo, very thorough! I liked that little Revelation reference!
Good catch my friend!! Robben was and still is a huge inspiration!
All makes perfect sense - thanks! This sounds interesting, for sure - it edges out the original a bit for me! Cool addition to the line.
Thanks so much!!
Love it. Great pedal and of course Great playing!
Thanks so much!!
Astonishing playing Shawn!
Thanks Grant!
Love the killer changes to this new tune Shawn. Great playing as always. This pedal seems like something I need to explore. Hmmmm. Great Robyn Ford quote in your playing Shawn. Stay well well.
Thanks so much, Sam!!
Well, this pedal has a lot to live up to and it sounded like it did to me! Love that Les Paul! Always killer playing Shawn! Very inspiring!
Thanks so much!! CTC builds good stuff!
Love to hear you play. Not a bad pedal.
Sounded Awesome Shawn, loved like Bluesy Vibes and showing a lot of the Features and i own the Crossfire Crazy Tube Circuits and love These line of effects Your Music-In-Law 🤘🎸🤠
Thanks so much!! CTC builds good stuff.
Fun little call response at 1:43 between guitar and bass! Great work as always, sir!!
Thanks!! The bass player is easily triggered so I try and stay out of his way!. Good ears my friend!!
@@ShawnTubbs HAHA!! Yeah, bass players are so temperamental... or just mental. I've heard it both ways. 😂😂
Throw the switch Igor!! Great pedal and as always great playing Shawn!
Haha, thanks so much!!
This beautiful white Suhr looks very busy today :) Thanks Shawn!
I've had that guitar for a long time! Thanks so much for watching and for chiming in!

Agreed. It's all perspective. Within the parameters of that absolutely brilliant tone stack, you can shape things to sound and feel the way you want.
Sounds great! Must be the Dermanium Giodes that have the magic.😂
Dermanium is a scarce and precious commodity! Haha!
Bought the original pedal, sold it, regretted it, and now rebought it! This edition will in itself be unobtainable soon, LOL!
My fingers got scared watching the stretched in that opening tune! 😮
A great sound and a great demo as always. With your experience are we close to the sound of the two dumbels cities?
Thanks! I think CTC has done excellent work when it comes to that type of sound.
Wheeeeww!!

Totally my wheelhouse!!! When will these be available?
Thanks so much!! Check the CTC website.
One’s on the way!!
Thanks brutha!

Awesome as always! How long on average does it take you to create all the non guitar parts (drums bass etc) of the songs you do for these demos?
Thanks! On average, from discovery to CZcams upload, is 3 days. Sometimes longer.
Great playing and demo. Your LP looks and sounds amazing, is it an R10?
Thanks!! That guitar is an R9 but it's heavily modified.
Which pedal is better in your opinion? The OG or this one? I’m more a fan of clean distortion if you understand.
I hear an amazing amount of overtones which sound great!
Hmmm, I'd probably go with the Raw. IMO.
Wow cool pedal and great playing as always Shawn 🎶That ODS setting is fat enough you could djent some metal with it LOL
Haha, I was thinking the same thing in the "demo" section of the video. Thanks!!
Good sounds and playing. The amp did sound very good already. What amp ?
Thanks! Friedman DS 40.
@@ShawnTubbs Thanks very much 👍😊
I really like it, but I like the Kokopelli too? Which one is better?
The two pedals are voiced differently. If you really love "Marshall" sounds, the Kokopelli is great. If you lean towards "Dumble" overdrive, go with the Unobtanium. Both are great pedals.
@@ShawnTubbs thank you Shawn!
Shawn, what strings you play? Great playing!
Thanks for the questions. I've been playing D'Addario for over 30 years now.
@@ShawnTubbs 0.09 or 0.10?
@@antoniosaluena Sorry, NYXL 10-46
@@ShawnTubbs Thank you maestro!
Thank you very much!
Are you in drop D tuning? Didn’t figure you for a down tuned type of guy.
Yup, drop D for sure. "I'm Buzzed".
@ 1:31... okay WTF!!?
(hmmm, now if only I could slow it down to 1/100th, I maybe just might
be able to figure out what you is DOIN' ?!?)
The undecipherable-um on the UNOBTANIUM (just unbelievium)
Haha! Thanks so much! It's really not at all difficult to sort out. It's all perspective.
