    i have the green dual pedal. it does sound good. my only complaint is that the sound drops out when i switch from channel 1 to channel 2. i wish that the switching was seemless but it is not. maybe i got a defective switch? oh well. i personally can't give it a green light because of the droput issue. otherwise, it does sound good.

    Thanks for the review. I came seeking a demo on the LT dual specifically. I thought the pedal sounded 'squashed' on both channels which is not atypical of a distortion pedal but I had hoped it would sound more open with headroom. The higher the gain, the more squashed it sounded. I can hear the difference in the tone and isf controls but, they don't seem to clear up the squashed aspect.

    Great demo! I've noticed that you may have some kind of compressor/limiter in the recording stage and it's acting too hard. You may want to reduce the threshold a bit cause when you palm mute you can hear the sound ducking. Or try to reduce the volume of the amp mic entering the mixer.

    The boost is in Blue. I like them all but the Dist is my favorite. The Randall Diavlo series are awesome. I have the RD5c and love it, but would also like the RD1c and RD100. Also, thanks for the heads up on the Jet City deal. I should be receiving it this coming week.

    The chords you played with that drive pedal sounded great! I think it has high enough gain even for metal. Awesome sounding overdrive -- maybe the best I've heard yet from a pedal. Just put that booster in front of it. The distortion pedal also sounded great, especially on the squealy harmonics. Both kept great note definition without trash or flutter. The 'metal' pedal here seemed redundant. There also seemed to be something off in the attack/response time of that 'metal' pedal unless my ears/net connection were failing me.

    Chappers and Captain Lee covered these not too long ago. I loved the Drive pedal. I was surprised that it had that much gain. And they really do sound very tube-like. I can't wait to hear one of these in person.

    I bought the green-dual overdrive pedal several months ago and have used it many times at various venues; both small bars and larger lounge type rooms. This pedal is very nice; however, I found it to have too much bottom end; no matter how I tweaked it, that bottom still reverberated through. It clashed with the bass and was hidden in the band mix. I ended up going back to my "Boss Dual Overdrive" pedal because it has much less bass and can be heard clearly and distinctly in the band mix. Don't get me wrong; its a wonderful overdrive sound; its just a bit too much bottom end. It might work better through a Fender or Marshal amp.

    I have to totally agree that I would have been playing them and comparing these Blackstar LT pedals for hours taking breaks inbetween just to see if I could decide which one *IN FACT* sounded better. I've watched and listened to this video 3 times already and I still can't come to a total conclusion as to which is the best one. All I can say is they ALL IN FACT are TNT TERRIFIC and I'd want them all if I had the extra cash for them. Great job TTK and awesome job Blackstar on the LT pedals.

    That Silent switching is sweet. I personally like Buffer. I have 10 pedal on my board and one id a Buffered A/B/T with a Buffer it near the front of my chain, I should get another buffered pedal at the end also. Some people swear by true bypass but the pedalboard guru Bob Bradford9I think) uses Buffers in his custom boards.

    These pedals are built like a tank. I own the LT Metal and don't think much of it personally (too much of one thing and not enough of another). The US-UK tone diffence through the ISF is outrageous - best to stay in the middle. Was thinking of buying the LT Distortion next but now after hearing The Tone King's samples will buy the LT Drive next. JMHO.

    Well I bought the LT DIST (classic distortion) & LT DRIVE (classic overdrive) and taking back my words that the Drive sounds much better. Maybe to TTK's amp settings it sounds great but it doesn't on my amp. Prefer the LT DIST, LT METAL then the LT DRIVE in that order. There is definitely value in the LT line at $89.99 for the Drive & $99.99 for each LT DIST & LT METAL. I have no use for the LT Boost but the LT Dual @ $149.99 I can't go wrong again. So why not...it's on my list. Love that bubble gum green btw.
