Welcome back to the channel hope you're doing well overdrives are definitely my sort of thing and in
this video i've got a monster a dual overdrive that just looks so cool it's got that retro
industrial vibe going on and this is the duellist from kingtone a versatile overdrive
with a ton of tone options so grab yourself a coffee let's take a listen to it
After reading information on their website and watching Jesse Daveys videos on the pedal
it does appear that the heavy hand side takes inspiration from the famed blues breaker circuit
and the string singer side is based around a TS circuit
of course you also have the fat stock and glass switches on both sides which act as a pre-clipping
eq a tone control on both sides and each of the overdrive circuits have their own drive control
and they can be stacked or used individually plus you get four internal switches for even
more tone control see i told you it was versatile... you never listen
I've been playing with a duellist for over a week now and i can't switch it off well i can
just push the foot switch but you know what i mean you can dial it back
to get a slight preamp breakup that just pushes the clean tone for that bluesy vibe
which i particularly love in a pedal or you can dial it up for a killer fat blues overdrive and
even stack both sides to adjust the gain to get an overdrive that's both gritty and TS
mid humped that's your sort of thing this pedal though does sound absolutely amazing i'm imagining
you can put it in front of any amp and you're going to get the overdrive tone you're looking for
It's got an all metal enclosure and it feels like the knobs are aluminium and
with laser etched graphics on the front and back it's a quality pedal the knobs
are really smooth and the switches are really solid even the LEDs are classy the pedal i'd
say is definitely one for the tone chaser i personally couldn't get a bad tone from it
i want to thank Krystal at Kingtone for sending this out for review i really appreciate that
Kingtone case you didn't know are based in southern California and were formed in 1991 and
are a family-run business by Jesse and his wife Krystal and everything they make is built by hand
Jesse is also a bit of a monster guitar player with the British blues band the hoax
anyway as always what did you think of it always good to get your comments
and of course i'll send you down there cheers
