Seeing you play with it live is EXACTLY what I needed. Purchased one today and can’t wait.

[nutshell]

Your slide playing is off the charts dude - Good Job

[rodrigo_teixeira.guitar]

First of all: great playing! Have said that, FINALLY a video using the pedal on a live situation, thank you!!

[johnzuker]

This is a great and proper demo. Real world application! Now UA has to come out with a pedal that helps us to play like Dylan.

[blackberryjamchicago]

The best video showing how this pedal is set up in a live situation. Bravo. Everyone else just plays though it without ever showing how you use it during a performance.

[pillowhead]

Man!! That slide playing was just unreal! Great job!! The lion wasn’t too bad either!

[johndwilliford]

Most thorough evaluation I’ve seen yet! Thanks so much!

[nickbowman]

Seeing the gig performance was really valuable. Thank you for being this thorough.

[johnpierson]

This is an excellent review of the UA Lion. You covered a lot of ground. I think your review is more holistic than many. Rational with great tone examples. Thank you.

[achillusoverclocking]

You hit a new level of the review game Dylan, regular gear demo channels has to keep up with this content. Cheers

[MichaTulik]

I had similar conclusions each time I dialed in my tone with my headphones and went with the same tone on stage.
Every time it is too bright and I think it comes from the fact, that when you play at home only with your headphones, the brighter tone gives you a little more edge and it generally is more fun to play.
Also, "Fletcher Munson" curve is worth to mention as we tend to hear higher frequencies more the louder it gets.
Thanks for the video!

Bought this pedal yesterday. It's kind of weird. It sounded great in the store with my Filtertron equipped Gretsch. Using it with my Telecaster in a rehearsal room it sounded very iffy, I would say due to the nature of the used\beaten PA system. I will say though, for home use with a good Hi/FI amp\speakers it sounds fantastic. I will probably be buying some kind of FRFR monitor for small venue use, where my Tube amps are simply too loud to be used properly.

[TerryEnsing-wwqr]

It's an awesome pedal, probably their most underrated amp pedal imo

[greggjohnson]

Hey buddy! I recently started using the new Fender fr12 cabinet with my modeler and I really think that's the missing link you're looking for on stage. Looks, sounds, and feels like an actual cab and it'll give you back thst stage volume behind you. Worth a try my guy🤙🏼

[petervandebelt]

I would like to see you using it in a live and a home setting with a Fender FR-12. I think that FR-12 cabinet is the missing (not missing anymore 😊) link between digital and tube amps.

[Rich_G]

Dude, you rock. Great player. Sounded amazing. I have the lion. Haven’t used it live yet. Cannot wait.

[TheJSGuitar]

Here to listen to that Lion 68. And then I subbed because of your playing. Man, you're great!

[GreggStallingsProject]

Duane's Fillmore tone is the highest bar there is! Your playing is excellent man! I am getting my Lion 68 this week. Excellent review -

[MauroPavanelli]

You got a wonderfull tone with your settings, thanks a lot! very instructive. Great playing man! thanks for sharing.

[ericfricke]

Killer playing! This is what guitar gear reviews should be like. If I'm being brutally honest, most gear reviewers don't have the taste or musicality (or even a basic sense of rhythm!) for me to really trust their word. I appreciated the real-world demos and commentary too.
