Now you have seen the wizard behind the screen! There are no magic pedals. There are only talented musicians who play relentlessly for untold hours to reach the peak. I originally wanted to dislike Chris, but then I realized 1. He shares my namesake, and 2. it was only envy. I tripped over my laces at the same point you did I think, right before the clean boost demo. Ha!

The Les Paul sound, to me, is the ultimate. And in the hands of a player of the caliber of this young man, so mind-blowing because he's so gifted with what I call the "touch"..he literally wrings every bit of joy out of each note he plays. I could imagine if Chris was transported back to 1967...playing through a new Plexi...

You're spot on with the parallels between the Klon and a Burst. I can't see the Klon ever reaching such prices but I don't think anyone thought a '59 would cost more than your average house when they discontinued it in '60! 😬😬

@bassmandudge

Major difference though...how many '59s that are playable do you see for sale...pretty much zero... whereas there ard 10 real klons for sale on Reverb..right now.. today...well I presume they are not fake..so hard to tell...so they really are not that rare... .. bear in mind it has taken the '59 nearly 60 years to get to that value...so I reckon Chris will be about 90 when his investment comes good....😉

Man, thank you so much for sharing your guitar work. It is seriously inspiring.

Man, your touch is unparalleled! Exquisite.

Chris is magic, he somehow simultaneously makes me want to practice more and quit playing completely at the same time. Weird.

Brilliant, Chris! Always fantastic playing and demos.

If I interpreted what you said correctly, sounds like a steal. Wise investment and great playing!

Yeah, I bet your poncy coffee isn't overpriced much, either! 🤣 I must have missed the bit where he was bragging. I did, however, clearly hear him say that it's a ludicrous price to pay for a pedal and that he bought it purely because he sees it as a potential investment. I've watched a lot of Chris Buck, over the last couple of years. I've seen him interviewed and watched him squirm at the praise he receives for his undoubted skills...and I've only ever seen him be self deprecating. Your comment just makes you sound like a jealous douche!

Wasn't that the Stratocaster with his own signature Radio Shop pick-ups? Hard to say what determines the sound the most. One thing is for sure, Chris is the main factor in this equation. Great playing again Chris.

CBF = Chris Buck Friday. Best day of the week! Thanks Chris!!

Damn...you got some absolutely Immaculate tone. And your technique..so good. Great video as always

Tasty playing, mythical pedal and clear perspective. Nice work Chris.

You’ve just pushed prices up another 10% 😂

It's funny - no matter what Chris plays through, he always sounds like Chris. And I mean that in the BEST POSSIBLE Way. It doesn't matter how much gain he uses, but it's always a low-mid gain, beautiful, detailed tone. Beautiful, and as always, well done, Chris!

Dude your playing is so tasty it’s such a joy listening to you just go off into space with whatever guitar is in your hands. Thanks for the awesome videos, truly inspiring 🤘🏻🍻

Your videos are always great and informative, but I always find myself chafing at the bit about halfway through, waiting for you to play us out at the end. F*cking awesome.

Amazing playing in the Jam into. So patient with his phrasing. Really great 👍

That first piece of music and playing was fire!

The Klon mythos was definitively put to rest for me when I watched a Shnoble video comparing a ProCo Rat to a Klon KTR. Between 8 o'clock and noon on the Rat, it was indistinguishable from the Klon. The Centaur going for the prices it does is sheer derangement. I'm one of those like Bill, who was fed up with the bass and treble shelving of typical TS style drives, but I easily achieved the goal of a transparent overdrive that just sounds like my amp driving a bit, with a Way Huge Green Rhino MkII which has extra controls that allows me to match the EQ to my amp's tone.

Chris you playing and tone always sounds fantastic. No matter what gear you play through you sound great and I cannot tell if this pedal make a noticable difference.

Your playing is so beautiful it equally inspires and discourages.

In all honesty, your tone was amazing when I first discovered you, playing a plain Jane Highway one Strat. Your gear has changed a ton since then and although it's awesome to upgrade, you didn't need to. This isn't a negative comment so please don't take it that way. I'm simply saying that, even without Custom Shop guitars and original Klons, you are an amazing player with incredible tone! Cheers!

You sound amazing no matter what you play through. You have definitely put the hours in on the guitar. Wish you the best in the future. Cheers!

Love it! Been a fan for years now. I was going through my old videos and realized you’d left and awesome comment on my Way Huge Overrated Special video, too cool! Opposing to popular belief, Stevie used TS-10’s for the last 4 years he played. I noticed this about 20 years ago when I watched ACL from 1989 and I kept rewinding it and there it was! A TS10! I bought one and it became my only mainstay on my board for about 8 years. Shouldn’t have sold it. Everyone says Mayer, but he was only following the King, as did I at a young age. Love the content and blessings to you continuously, brother Chris🙌🙏💪

Guitar Learners: "What pickup do you use during your solos?" Chris Buck: "Yes."

I cant even believe that jam. Jaw dropped.

Someone needs to edit a playing compilation of all your guitar clips from Friday fretworks!

Wow, just wow - I can't get past the intro track and listen to it on repeat here.

Chris, thank you for your straight talk in a world of crazy hype. Joe Gore and I were talking about the Klon over at FB, and he said damn near everything you said. You're absolutely right it's going to be a good invstment.

Dude! You make me smile. I dig you vibe. If you ever tour to BC, Canada. I’ll be in the front row. Try to play The Commodore in Vancouver. Legendary!

Whatever about the gear and all that, you are just an extraordinary musician.

Great video Chris. You hit the nail squarely on the head. Gear like this is an investment and appreciates over time. It’s also pretty cool for those of us who nerd out on this kind of thing ;). Cheers mate!

Thanks so much for shedding some light on the whole "transparent overdrive" thing that I hear so much about. I never understood how overdriving a signal to the point of clipping and beyond could be transparent. But, as you point out Chris, this pedal can function as a clean boost at low levels of gain that doesn't engage the clipping diodes. A little boost always sounds better, especially at bedroom volumes. And great playing as usual!

Cheers Chris another wonderful story, i heard some Tin Pan Alley vibes 👌

Good video , very informative .

I really appreciate the honesty of Chris regarding the sound of a real Klon vs a klone.

great intro playing, liked it a lot

You are a brilliant player. Unique. Love Your playing!

u the man Chris 🌞

That intro was sick

Thanks Chris. ⚓️

Nice dynamic playing! Most players know only one volume which never shows off the tones of the guitar/pedal. This video did that very well.

Haha, a lovely irony, a Highway 1 through a Centaur, I bet you've played your Squiers through it as well Chris. Fantastic stuff and you now own one for all the right reasons, good on ya.

Some gear is meant for for money no object situations, budget considerations just don't come into consideration. If a klon gets the job done it will be used. For hobbyists, a modeler covers a ton of ground and renders boutique stuff pointless.

I mean ive heard a lot of youtube guitarrists but damn. That intro puts you right on top.

It's a good investment as long as you keep following the market, which of course you will. Brilliant playing as always. The Klon clone in the HX Stomp is my favorite pedal in their sizeable collection.

That ending jam was some next level shit man.

I think the secret is you and your playing ability where I hear the excellence of your technique and feel. Anything you play will sound good or I should say excellent ... Just my humble opinion from aside ....
