Straight to my pedalboard

The Barber/Five Watt World BUSS overdrive. There's a lot packed into this little pedal: a Super Sport (Barber's Marshall/Tweed Twin drive) and a Burn Unit (Barber's take on the famed Dumble overdrive tone). Options for clipping and compression round out the features. It sounds REALLY great, and it is going straight to my new board. I'll do a video once it is done. Thanks for watching!

My rig is the Sarge amp into a 112 Morgan cab with an ET65 speaker. Mic’d with a Heil PR30. Preamp is a TG2.

Received the FIVE WATT WORLD BUSS in black. Just fantastic. Contacted David Barber directly, was extremely helpful. Amazing tone and very little to no noise.

[ShawnTubbs]

That is indeed a great-sounding pedal. Excellent work as usual Justin! Hope you're doing well.

[FastCarsLoudGuitars]

One of my favorites. I fell in love with mine instantly. Love the burn unit so much

[farruca]

Love this pedal! Barber is the company that got me into pedals; everything they make is awesome. Had a Direct Drive on my board forever and still makes its way on there

[Euphonicmusicschool]

Great sounds! I have gone through a plethora of drive pedals and barber is the only company where I have not been able to get rid of them. I have the original blue colored BUSS, and old black box direct drive LG (low gain), the gain changer, and the tone press compressor. All of them are unbelievably good.

I just did a comparison today of all my overdrives. A newer Lovepedal through-hole "old school build" Zendrive, a Lovepedal Zendrive 2 Gold, an original Alfonso built Zendrive, a GasFX Drive-Thru (Gainster clone with the big amp size caps and "mojo" resistors wired point-to-point on an eyelet board), Fulltone Fulldrive 2 V2, '99 Fulltone Fulldrive 2, BMF Purple Nurple (red llama), a Timmy, and more... Like Zac Childs has said, "it's a sickness." Anyway, they all sounded about the same, so I think I need one of these too because it's been a minute since I've had any Barber stuff. If I recall correctly, my Direct Drive, Half Gainer, and Fuggedaboutit all also sound a lot like the pedals listed above, lol. But I know this one is different for sure. I just know it.

Nice review. I just got one after hearing great tones from demos and I have it to the right of my Vemuram Jan Ray for a great gain sound. It seems to sound best that way to me as they compliment each other. I can also play cleaner rhythms with the Jan Ray then kick on the Buss for solos.

Barber pedals rock! I have an older Direct Drive
2002 absolutely kills man. I love tuning in to your channel Justin, what an amazing talent you are.

[bubs]

I have 4 Barbers on my more. David built me a Low Gain Burn Unit, Direct Drive, LTD, and Tone Pump. I have to say the Burn Unit and Direct Drive should be on everyone’s board. Amazing pedals!

[mattl]

I have a blue racing stripe Super Sport that's been on my board for recording and gigs since 2010. David Barber makes great stuff!

[morroben]

I would definitely be using the neck pickup on the Biscuit. I think it sounds great!

[seanzinger]

I think I could live all day with the clean tone. But the pedal also sounds fantastic.

[jimmyfrombrooklyn]

To my ears the BU mode has that real lean into it tone that makes you want to “burn” maybe hitting it with an Rc boost in a gig setting too. Great video Justin

[fosterzar]

Would be really curious what you think of the barber direct drive v4 (current model). I swap it in and out with the nobels for a different flavor and it might be my favorite med gain overdrive.

[timchalmers]

Great sounds ! Keith Williams sent me and I subbed. :)

[TexasJackdaw]

Wow - sounds like a very transparent drive. Nice!

[Danielrunion]

Time for a bench vise to hold your desk pedals.... :)

[BobMaulucci]

Justin, great video and playing as always. I don't know if I missed it, but can stack the two? And if so, can you switch which unit feeds unto the other? THX,

Thanks for all the free content, but I'm not here for products. I've learned a lot from you, my friend.
