The thing with all these pedals is.... you have to play the pedal, via the guitar. If you just play your usual licks, with your usual timing, chances are these pedals will sound terrible. However, if you use your ears and react to the pedal, you’ll start getting somewhere. The point of these, to me, is not to replicate decent synths. It is to enable guitarists to create sounds you can’t create using traditional effects - for the most part.

I like them.

Why does the Cap even bother. Get someone who’ll appreciate them for what they are.

I think Lee had an existential crisis whilst doing this review

[interruptor]

Cap Lee, you can be narrow minded! This channel needs a more experimental guitarist on sometimes... Kudos to Pete for his determination to make sense of the pedals.

[adonaisantanna]

Wow. For someone who avoids using the word "cheap" in lieu of "affordable", Lee got pretty damn disrespectful in this.
Just give him his tube screamer shaped bottle and put him to nap, jeez.

The Enzo is amazing. It also highlights the difference between a musician and a salesman trying out a new instrument. The musician will find a way to make music.

[winstonsmith]

wow, if the video itself is jaded, cynical, snarky and disrespectful--- what are we, the humble comment trolls, supposed to add? what a bummer of a video. stick to the overdrives and shredder licks.

[jackreavy]

That was difficult to watch, can we have a redo as I'm actually interested in these pedals

[KennetDeBondt]

Well, it's no doubt far more interesting than the series of 1 000 000 crunch and disto pedals we saw the past years...

This needs an extended jam with Pete on these pedals and Rabea with his ambient setup going nuts for an hour.

[DTnorwayDT]

A bit of constructive criticism her. These three pedals sound amazing and can be amazing tools for songwriting, layering when recording, or amazing effects to fatten up a live band sound. And it was kind of bothersome to watch this video when Lee was so unmotivated about this demo. I was really interested in these pedals, but this demo didn't really give them any justice.

You guys usually have A+ videos, hope to see a new video of these pedals! 😉

[therebelwheel]

poorly played blues riffs might not be the best way to try out the pedals lads

[PaulJoy]

Lee needs to open his mind a little. While I love the raw sound of a great guitar and amp as much as the next guy I thought some of those parts with the Enzo sounded incredible! It would make a great tool for ambient intros and moody sections in live performances.

I have to say that I found Lee's inability to enjoy the audio possibilities of this kit really annoying and it spoiled what what should have been a really great video. Well done to Pete for trying.

[UnvisibleINK]

It's funny how many proficient guitarists are completely unmusical. It's one thing to be content constantly chugging out Zeppelin and AC/DC riffs, but when you can't wrap your head around creativity, exploration, experimentation, or any other genres of music besides hard rock then you really need to take a good hard look at yourself and figure out what went wrong.

[sandpaper]

Yeah blues licks don't need a synth sound.

[jasonhandby]

This is probably the worst Andertons video I've seen. Honestly, find someone who actually gets the point of the product to sit beside Pete next time. And throwing them on the floor at the end?? Jeez.

[samuraipizzacat]

This is like watching someone hammer in a nail with a screw driver. Or spreading butter with a plate. Or catching fish with a basketball. Or painting a portrait with a wheelbarrow. Or milking a cow with a television. Or two really narrow-minded guitarists who don't have an ounce of creativity in them playing cool pedals. Not so much Pete.

[brummer]

Thank god for Rob, Pete and Youtubers suggesting video ideas. I'm sure if Lee had his way, every review would be a Strat into a Blues Junior with this months new OD pedal, oh and of course a bit of reverb. Love this channel, but jeez, every time something contemporary or new comes up he turns into luddite Lee. #ludditelee

[dannydorito]

This sounds like when you've been watching youtube too long.

Lee has the same reaction that the folks who disliked electric guitar when it begun to appear...
