I think Delayman nailed it; he doesn't say anything. He gets a nice tone but his playing is incredibly bland. After you've heard a dozen of his clips, they all sound the same and I bet you couldn't pick what he's playing without looking.StrummersOfThunder wrote:I dont see how you could find him annoying. he doesnt say anything.Delayman wrote:

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Yep, he is certainly the tofu of gear demos. Bland, inoffensive but after a while you are like 'why am I eating this'?

Re: What dirt pedal ?
We've got one of these on consignment from Tony at Silverpistol at work. I'm sure he'd be happy for it to make its way to you for a bit of a hoon.StrummersOfThunder wrote:I will investigatebender wrote:Bronson goes thereStrummersOfThunder wrote:Like i really dig the sound of this okko pedal in this clip (from about 1.50 onwards)

When I first started getting into guitars in a big way (about 4 years ago) I watched his videos for gear porn. But yes, it didn't take long before it was all a blur.

Re: What dirt pedal ?
That guy Greg does make me want to stab by ears with a pencil. Every guitar he plays, he manages to make them sound identical. It's like elevator music except worse, as you have to look at his blandness too.
Anyway, a bit of dirt you say? I still use my MI Audio Blues Pro...it's clean, clear and doesn't have the mid bump unless you want it. I've had KTR's, Klones, vintage 808s etc...this is still the one for me. From light dirt to full on diarrhea.
If you want very low levels of gain, the Selma from TMG is excellent. More a grunty boost than a dirt pedal though.

MI Audio Blues Pro? Appear to be unobtainable at mo. Not retail or reverb.

Yeh i get your point. I've only exposed my self to a few of his videos so I guess I missed the homogeneity.
Thanks for the dirt pedal tips. I really dont like the mid hump of the majority of pedals ive tried.
