I had passionate sex with my wife twice last night to “Plexi Soul” Tom . She absolutely loved it ! If we end up having a kid I’m naming it Tom !

Do you really want to say that in class? Maybe save that for hanging I the crapper with your vaping buddies. (Note: you don't have to vape to hang in the crapper, you can text, order lunch, whatever)

Telling an artist you have sex to their song is crazy 💀

Good choice! I can confirm🫡
Uncle Larry’s knee-jerk disgust at the first sound of the $6k Klon should be posted as mandatory disclaimer on all original Klon listings as a PSA.

While I don’t actually own a Klon, I do have a Jrockett Ikon I keep on my board as a clean boost that really fattens up my clean tone and sounds great with my strat. When I put it after my Timmy it’s amazing. My favorite overdrive tone after my cranked black face champ.

I love the Klon with teles, strats, 335s, Les Pauls and sgs played through ac30s, black faced fenders, tweed fenders, and plexis. To me its the best pedal ever made. I remember crying to Bill about the whopping $275 I paid for it. He told me to, “buy two”. I should’ve bought ten.
The clean sound through the Princeton was absolutely amazing
Homeskoolers are a lucky group, getting to go on these exciting video field trips. 🙂

I was thinking the same thing! In my normal life I would never get a chance to be with a group like this. What a kick to be included...
Tom saying “This kind of sounds like a Kemper” about the only digital pedal in the whole thing absolutely validates everything he’s ever said about digital

Any modeler that I've ever played, no matter the cost, sounds like the guitar tone is pressed up against a plate a glass along with a faint layer of fizzle over the top that you cannot dial out. That's the best way I can describe it.

Yes, especially those higher gain sounds are so much flatter and mushier and non inspiring compared to a real head in a real cab

@@bleepblabloop I hear it too. I can tell it’s fake. The only caveat is that I can really only tell if I’m hearing it live. On KZread I cannot tell at all. It’s because of the digital compression of KZread.
Larry - you have the nicest “way” with people! Organized but not bossy or rigid. Direct and clear, but kind and respectful of others feelings. Humorous without being silly. Confident but aware that we’re all limited. Thanks for the example.

There is one huge upside (among many) to being separated. All my guitar work is done in heated and spacious comfort...and I can leave my guitar on the couch if I want. I have a workbench and a toolbox in one of my main floor rooms. The garage does not have the wife's car in anymore either. Lots of room for me.
You have probably heard this 500 times already, but Tim Pierce said on his lates feed that he used to think Dan Huff was the best studio guitarist he had ever heard, then he heard you and now he thinks you are the best studio player he has ever heard. What ever you are, you are a guitar genius.

One of your best. I watched and listened intently. And learned. Thank you.
Best pedal comparison/experiment I've seen. Very nice.
Amazing! I really hope this does become a series. Uncle Larry’s ears are golden
I cannot thank you enough for posting this right when I had to do laundry. ❤ So amped.
Amazing episodes, so interesting to hear all those awesome pedals 😄

Wish I could like this 1000 times!! Thanks UL & XTS!!
Super cool! What a fun exercise! Looking forward to the next one.
Outstanding show!! You work with a great group of people, so nice to see the skills presented in such fun atmosphere.
I’m gonna need another 10 years of Homeskollin to pass this class today. Great class. But truly love every class. Thanks Uncle Larry
Enjoyed seeing the charisma coming out of Uncle Larry from this angle!
After all the pedal comparison videos I've been subjected to in the algorithm - this is the only one I've ever really WANTED to see. What a treat.
Man, that was awesome! Thanks to all the guys for pitching in. It takes a village… 👍
Wonderful insights into the ear of the session man, the Princeton and the fun in friendship. Loved every second
Man I could watch this shit all day every day. What a treat.
Rad!!! A big yes to more shootouts like this! Your commentary of what sounds bad is a great resource for ear training. Especially calling out the offending EQ ranges.
That was awesome! Cant wait for the next one!
What a fun video! And man that SG really intonates well for being vintage.
Thank You. This was such a great video.
That was awesome and a lot of fun. Hearing the reasons Tom liked and didn't like certain sounds was very insightful and helpful. Looking forward to more videos like this. Thanks
Loved it can’t wait for more to come
What an awesome episode !
This is an amazing video!!.. Love seeing inquisitive Larry. The search for truth continues!!
So fun. Love the point about using your ears. Nice seeing you at the guitar last weekend in Franklin. Made my day. Thanks for all you do.
Barry and the guys at XTS are the BEST. Great video . Thanks guys.
Thank you very much. This was brillant. Very helpful.
Great episode! Like seeing/hearing all the different pedals and amps
Wow. This was, and _will_ be for future ones, fantastic! Thank you guys for putting all this work in doing those comparisons. Goes to show that surface mount tiny stuff is not necessarily bad. Great one Tom!
Totally loved this. Thats some amazing set of ears you have there Tom. Great video.
The best thing is that you are doing this with you friends! It’s even more fun when you play with or for other people!
Very informative. And self-critical). Thanks, Tom. We look forward to continuing.
Absolute gold dust for these comparisons to be administered by such experts, and via the medium of Uncle Larry's outstanding playing. Every Homeskoolin episode should be committed to the US library archives - as a national treasure never to be lost.
Awesome vid guys, this series could go on for a long while and we are all learning something.
Thank you to Uncle Larry, and to the in-house pedal gurus. Fascinating!
THANK BUK!!! This was such a fun episode. What a great idea for the show….as if HomeSkoolin class couldn’t get any better… Please do this with all the other types of pedals as you stated, such a great idea..
I like this pedal tone shoot out. I look forward to delay, comp and modulation and whatever other cool stuff on the horizon. Woohoo!!! 🔥
ONCE A MONTH, ONCE A MONTH, ONCE A MONTH...!! Thank you, Unc and all at Guitar Effects Pedals and XTS! This was stellar!! I would love to hear this once a month!🙏🙏🙏
Tom, I’d love more of these style videos. Great idea & great execution by you, the XTS guys & pedal shop guys. Man! You’ve got a set of ears on you. Hope Marshall & Leo develop ones just like em. Thanks for sharing so many thoughts, ideas, and music with us.
Best episode yet! So informative! If I learned nothing else it was better language to describe tone. Loved it!
This a REAL PEDAL SHOW! Can not wait for the next upload!!!!!
The first truly entertaining pedal video I ever saw :)
Buk!!! Killing it as always bro! This was a great episode we love you!
you made all those pedals sound great,now I've gotta decide which to pickup first! seriously great video, thanks!
The crazy train comment was VERY interesting to listen to with your comment in mind. It really did make the song feel like it had a blanket over it and wasn’t open at all
“I’d rather go to that party than this party” when you're were at the right party every just came alive, felt and sound right…glorious stuff. great lesson, learnt alot👍🏻
Great video! If anything, this shows that finding your perfect tone takes time. The idea of testing different versions of the same pedal was intriguing. Thanks UL.
Loved this video, especially the No Balls shoot out, great content!
Great video guys! Good lesson for us home skoolers! Learning to pull back on the gain…clears up the sound in a real good way. Just so much to know with the many variables…thanks to you guys we can learn from folks that know what their talking about. I can not thank y’all enough…total pros guys total pros!!! Thank you!!!
just awesome man...thanks again Uncle.....😊
Every time I watch your videos I study guitar for hours, you inspired my friends and me to play and practice every day, THANKS TOM. this channel is an immense legacy for the guitar world. warm regards from Argentina!
Awesome Tom. That was so worth it and interesting. I'm impressed with your fine tuned ears. This is the best music channel by a long stretch. Thank you brother.
That was so cool! thanks guys!
The chances of me being able to witness what was on display here from Tom, Ryan, Brett, Barry & Greg, without this channel, are nil. I never take it for granted. Amazing stuff. Thanks, guys. Thanks, Tom. 😎
I not a guitar player at all, but I have not really ever seen a head to head test and comparison than this video. This was very very cool. It really entertaining!!! Thank you all involved. Great stuff!!!!!
That was just great. Thank you for all the effort. I love amplifiers and tone. It's the only thing that turns me on nowadays.
Thanks uncle Larry for this episode. I ordered a nobles pedal after seeing this! As always, you are the man 🎸
Agree wholeheartedly. This is so much fun!!!! Thanks to all the guys who helped put it together.
Thanks for this Tom! It might be your most interesting video so far.
This is cool, cheers Larry and the boys!!!
Amazing as always. I love amps and guitar tone . I am by no means tuned in with my ears as someone like tom. Amazing to hear all his comments on what is good and not so good . awesome video..
One of my favorite spots! Cheers Uncle Larry 🍻
Another great show uncle Larry👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is So Cool, Thankyou. Very interesting to see how you 'reacted' to pedals. Cheers
What a cool show. Enjoyed it guys.
Great video Tom… informative and entertaining…two thumbs up.
It's amazing how good your ear is. The speed at which you identified those vintage pedals was impressive.
Great fun Larry, an awesome bunch of guys in the room with you - so glad i could be virtually there dude!
Fantastic! Thanks Tom. 🤘
I could watch this all day
A true master at work, that flew by!
Very cool UL, thanks! Also, thanks to the panel. Sold. I just ordered the XTS modded mini No-balls from the very shop you shot your hi-quality edu-tainment. Wish me luck.
Keep it coming. Much enjoyed.
That was great guys, that's the way you do a shootout, well done.
Tom, I purchased a Noballs based on this video. Received it today and I CAN NOT be happier! The tone is great and I love the touch sensitivity. Thanks Bro!
