YES! Someone using these sorts of pedals with something other than guitars, thanks for putting the effort and care into making this

[boswell]

I just noticed how the last bit of vector art in the intros goes right into the product on show. That is a lot of work for such a tiny detail, but it really turns the quality of the video up to 11. Major respect.

[alexandermontagnet]

Super Fuzz was by far the best effect on everything played. Thanks!

[burn_after_reading]

I liked ultra metal the most. It brought up nice harmonics when watching this vid on phone. Good to present this kind of cheap alternatives!

[KUSHGRAM]

What a beautiful kicks on SF300 2:30, UM 300 2:40, Hm300 2:45 . Awesome test!

[soysos.tuffsound]

Another Amazing Vid! Something fun to note: Any of these pedals can be used with a mixer in a pre or post fader aux send with the output returned to its own channel. This allows for lovely parallel distortion, overdrive, fuzz and saturation opportunities. This is another gem to send on to our apprentices ❤💜💙

Just got a cheap Behringer Bass EQ pedal to use with my synths, and it sounds great in line between the synth and a distortion pedal. Just a little mid-hump shape on the Behringer made my BOSS DS-1 sound better than it has ever sounded before with synths. Biting and cutting instead of flabby and farty.

[DjMiflyn]

DUDE!!! You just got my patreon support. Been looking for these exact types of videos for some time now and they're so well done. Salute!

[AmyDaisy]

After having some of these Behringer pedals for years I finally find out they are battery powered! I had no idea, I always had to run them off the mains!

[krystianseibert]

The quality of your videos is excellent - make them much easier to watch. Keep them coming - they’re great!

[marting]

I've watched about 8 of your videos so far, I'm a new subscriber and I'll Patreon when I can afford to, but I just wanted to say that your production values are immaculate.

[arnav]

I found a hidden gem

your production quality is insane. Thank you for making videos

[jimrockford]

Love the Fuzz and Ultra Metal. Really helpful video this, thank you!

[Joel]

How do you only have 13k subs?? The professionality is insanely high! Please keep doing what you do!

[ImplosiveCatt]

I like them all on drums. Each of them gives an interesting flavor.

[BoardnotBored]

Great video. As a proud owner of the super fuzz I can confirm it absolutely shreds drum loops. I particularly enjoy how it shapes toms. I also really liked the higher pitched shrill the Ultra Metal gave to the acid line. 🤘🤘

[felixlindman]

This but with other cheap pedal types like as well!! Love your stuff man. Hope to see your channel grow!

[Kettupaini]

I was looking for ideas to find new ways to design drum sounds for my RD-6 and this video gives me answers.

I have only one OD pedal at home - Digitech Death Metal overdrive so next time I'm going back home, I need to try it for kick, if it sounds good :)

[nicolasbernard]

Great video, so useful thank you I just watched it twice in a row and behringer can thank you for the many people who purchased some of their very cheap pedals after watching this vid.

[flce_]

Great stuff! Your production charms me every time.

I'm personally a fan of the TM300 for drums on a budget pedal
