Dude, thanks so much for that!

Best demo of this pedal on KZread and I have seen a bunch. Getting those iconic tones using pedals is what makes this demo unique. It would be great if you had a breakdown of the pedals and settings you used to get the sounds so close to the originals.

Thanks, Matthew. Too kind. I’m actually about to start a third Lion video for a trilogy of these so maybe I’ll add a segment about the production I did to emulate what would have happened in the studio with these tracks. Good idea. Thanks!

Again, your range as a guitarist is uncanny! The whole world should know of you. So glad I do… And I don’t know how I missed these vids, I’m subbed. You’re crazy great…..

That was a great review. Very nice playing, too

@rogerwilliams2629 That sounds like it’ll be great. You’ll have to use the 4 cable method and run it into the FX loop if you’re gonna use it with the Origin. I haven’t tried that method yet - just direct, but I’m sure it’ll be cool as I’ve heard lots of folks enjoy it that way. Also, incredibly jealous of your seeing EJ back in the day. Today is his birthday! The big 7-0.

I'm obsessed with the Lion at the moment, I love mine. Great demo!

Do you guys notice a weird almost ring modulation-like sound with your Lion pedal? It hits a lot it seems on the higher frets of the lower strings on Mine and almost sounds like a lofi oct effect. It’s driving me nuts haha

@BrendanMowatSmith

@@solfox3287 Try maybe turning off the “ghost notes” in settings via the app? It’s emulating transformer hum mixing with a note you play creating a third harmonic that some amps do.

I've watched both of your demo videos on the Lion a few dozen times now. You're a phenomenal player - I always think I'm a half decent player then I see people like you just tearing it up. I've got the pedal on order now, but at this point I keep coming back just to play along and study your technique.

Wow, Brian. That’s too kind. Thank you - sincerely. There are so many virtuosos on social media these days and I usually feel very similarly to what you described when surfing around. I kinda see myself as just a “tone guy” and frankly a bit of a dinosaur. To think I’m regarded otherwise by anyone watching these is incredibly flattering. I will remember this comment so thank you again. Hope you enjoy the Lion like I am and it provides fun and inspiration for you!

Wow. Much appreciated, Casey. That segment was the UA Starlight > PastFX TD-Y > UA Del•Verb on the spring setting > Lion > TC SCF. That went straight into the Apollo. I EQ’d a bit in Logic to and added the Lexicon 224 and some subtle stereo delays for a further chorusing effect as my investigation lead me to believe happened on the DVD reissue.
