We may not all agree on which pedal sounds better, but I think we can all agree that rug really ties the room together.

To be fair: Joe playing tightly wound dental floss with a toothpick, amplified through empty toiletpaper rolls would still sound better than most of us.

For me it’s not the gear, but the dry humor that really brings out the tones.

Joe, you need to mow the carpet. You might find more pedals in it.

It’s refreshing to hear a truly honest opinion on gear. I enjoy Joe’s sense of humor and admire his humility. Thanks Joe!

I love how the Deep State through the Sidekick almost has a fuzz quality to the tone, just without all of the normal artifacts of a fuzz. Of course those fuzz artifacts are cool and are what makes a fuzz fuzzy, but sometimes you want that thick and smooth fuzz tone without those artifacts and that's really a tough thing to get with an actual fuzz. You have to pick so lightly and walk a tightrope of it being too dark and dull but if you try and pick harder or turn the volume/tone up more for more definition you get the artifacts. Super neat!

The cheap rig is very splatty sounding but still perfectly usable. Great comparison

Great that Joe does these demos, the reality of sound and gear.
