I remember hearing that 7 is the most often selected number when randomly choosing between 1 and 10. Great to see Lee reinforce that here 😅

It’s funny how Rob lives on a sunny meditation island and Lee lives in England, yet Lee is far more tanned.

I think he said "oh that's nice" when the Captain switched it to the Boss chorus, so I think it's 6-1, with a nod to it being about what it more expensive rather than a slag on Tone City. Amazing what they can do for a lower cost. Edit: I wrote my comment before the correction text was posted. Glad they caught it.

Things to take away from this video.. 1. Rob has incredible ears and knowledge of all things sound 😮 2. Lee is crap at nursery rhymes 😂 3. Rorys' editing is just superb, makes me laugh so much Long live Andertons on YT 😃

One thing to consider with more expensive pedals is that the part tolerances are usually smaller than on the budget pedals, so you're more likely to get consistency in the pricier pedals. IN GENERAL, but not always. That said, today's budget pedals are really damn good, compared to 20 years ago.

@markhammer643

While any doofus making pedals in their dorm room can get 1% metal film resistors, top-notch op-amps and transistors, for peanuts these days, and the magic of the internet has allowed optimal design theory and tips to be spread far and wide, capacitors still have much wider tolerances than many other components. The upshot is that, when one compares a *single* pedal of this make against a *single* pedal of a clone, it is hard to know whether one is comparing some consistently-different tonal quality, or comparing a pedal where the *nominally* 47nf capacitor actually measures 41nf against another where the same nominal 47nf value measures 51nf, in a critical position that alters treble or bass content. We wouldn't attempt to predict how a national election is going to swing, based on surveying 5 people. Why should we assume that a single pedal from a company is going to accurately represent ALL pedals produced in that line? Whatever differences Chappers can or can't hear might be consistent features of the pedals in question, but with only one exemplar from each, we can't confidently assume that. This is a weakness of virtually ALL such shootouts and comparisons one finds on the web or even in a music store.

What is heard in the room is not what I'm hearing on my computer speakers. I know from my own channel how much gets lost in translation. It's often a LOT. KZread videos are still fun to watch, but it's always a good idea to literally try the exact pedal/amp/guitar you are buying.

1) Brian and I are easily differentiable. And for our wives' sake, that's a good thing. 2) One of the things that factors into pricier gear of any type, whether it be pedals, guitars, pickups, amps, etc., is the labor required for quality-control. Quality-control is not the sort of thing that can be fully delegated to machines and software. Someone somewhere has to be able to provide the right answer to the question "Does this sound/behave like it is supposed to, and like all the other items in this category do?". The more extensive the testing (e.g., 20 performance parameters vs 6) or exhaustive the testing (e.g., every 100th pedal vs every 15th pedal vs EVERY pedal), the more your labor costs go up. And lets not forget tech support for quality-assured products as yet one more labor cost. So, contemporary resources, and production methods (as well as production locales) allow for some really decent bits of gear to be made for surprisingly low cost - what you can buy for the Xmas money from grandma these days is head and shoulders above what the same money could get you in 1970 - but the difference between higher-end and bargain-basement gear is often not in the materials used, but in the quality-control.

Boss pedals, commonly under-rated, are doing amazingly well in these challenges.

Captain: “I shall delve down below...” Pete’s dissonant voice (somewhere in the background): “Oh!” Haha

IMO Andertons are the kings of the KZread guitar videos and have been for awhile. As always great video guys.

Missed seeing you guys together. Thank you and have fun

The editing on these videos is always top notch. Never fails to get a few chuckles out of me!

Ah I'm in my nice warm safe place again , Rob armed with the axe while Lee juggles a hundred and one different pedals again. Bliss.

I love the Rob/Captain videos, to be fair for the price those tone city pedals are really good!

These are the best videos!

Capt too worried about selling tone city pedals dinked up the score

Christmas came early!!! Love the blindfold challenges

Hells yesses!! I am so excited! Hope i Will enjoy this!

The on-screen chemistry between the Captain and Chappers remains unparalleled across KZread. Always immensely enjoyable to watch no matter what the actual content.

Next up, I'd like to see a blindfold test for tuner pedals.

Chapper's prowess in this regard is Jedi level. And Lee is getting more handsome. Thanks for the craic lads.

Rob has said in the past that he was basically recruited as a shredder for Anderton's. Not my cup of tea so I'm glad he's doing other styles.

I'm not a "expensive is better" snob... but the expensive drivers were all better IMO. The TC drives seemed to sit on top of the dry sound, while the more expensive pedals sound like the dirt is integrated better into the tone.

@marekw7562

IMO drives is last thing to pay more for. There are sh* tone of affordable options BUT it's difficult to find one with good feel. I had to buy about 30 drives to find out that most of them doesn't suites me. The tricky part is to find what you are connected to not always what sounds good. What you think?

Absolutely brilliant editing. Really entertaining!

Ahhhh, sweet! Always fun to live vicariously through Rob’s ears. You’re a monster, bro! Thanks to you and Lee. Really needed this today.

Yeah - fun videos! :) These blindfolds are are always fun :)

Great video !

Chappers will smell the good ones.

I'd love to see a shootout that includes the modeled pedals in a Kemper, Ampero II, HX Stomp, etc., compared to the actual stomp boxes. Love this! That Blues Breaker really did sound great. I own a Kemper and am also looking to get an Ampero II Stomp. I already own Helix Native or I'd be looking at an HX Stomp. But I find myself wondering how well included modeled pedals really hold up. These video comparisons you've done are just great! Lots of honesty in here and its just great to see and hear.

Rob and the Captain... Fuck yes...

Rob gets 6/7. That guy's ears are unbelievable.

4:12 Love how Lee lifts his shoulders in time with Chappers' bend lol

When the Captain said "Casa Anderton's" made think about an Anderton's coffee, considering the amount of coffee that has been consumed in the channel before

Editing room are getting sassy, loved it haha

blindfold test are gold.

holy shizzle Lee, get out of my head guessing the number I had in mind!

when robb changed to neck pup at 5.50 that sounded as good as opening a fresh bag of walkers crisps.

That Tone City fuzz sounds like Rob's playing guitar through a pinched sphincter.

I love these videos

These are always fun to play along with! I got the tube screamer, flanger, and chorus wrong.

Lollllll the editing is the best!

We live in a golden age of cheap pedals. You all know it.

Amazing how close the Tone City pedal matches the Tube screamer

no denying it, good set of ears on chaps...but lee has beautiful eyes.

It would be a Christmas miracle if these types of videos came back rob

I actually thought of the number 7, spooky Lee mind control tricks!

However Chappers has the best ears on planet earth!

Welcome back Rob :)

How the actual fuck does he do it...it’s so impressive part of me thinks it can’t be real 😂 Amazing!!

That Snoop clip hit just right 🤌

Huh - I was googling Tone City Pedals, and Anderton's dropped a video for me 2 hours ago? They must be psychics!

Rob is truly amazing at these reindeer games.

It might sounds strange but I think Rory has a different taste in editing. Btw, such a treat, thanks guys, cheers.

Tone City sounds great!

Nice video! :D How about a blindfold: digital pedals (i.e. guitar rig, amplitube, etc.) vs real pedals? :D

He got the chorus right as well!

Rob kills it again 6 out of 7 !!

I died at "im not telling you"

I was going to watch something useful but then I saw this was up. Blindfolded Rob @Anderton's is hard to beat :)

Rob was robbed as far as the delay is concerned. He was basing his decision on the wow/flutter simulation, and the modulation button was off on the MXR so he assumed the TC one was the dearer one.

Keep it up gents

Next you should blindfold test cheap v expensive bidets.

HP on the Q-tron would have been what Rob wanted, I think.

You probably had to turn down the resonance a bit on the tonecity filter pedal to get some of the lowend back. Because some filters are transistor latter based, and they have this nature where when you increase the resonance it takes away the lowend. The tonecity one also sounded like it had more resonance than the Qtron

Omg how did you know I’d think of the number 7?!?! ;)

That first distortion was delicious

halfway through this im realizing this is either going to be one long commercial for tone city pedals or yeah its one big ol' ad for tone city pedals.

Lee gave a lot of those Tonecity pedals to Dave Simpson, that was a nice gesture, Dave moved to France by the way.
