What's up everyone? And welcome to--
What's up everyone? And welcome to 'Will It Chug?',
the videos series where I try a piece of guitar-related gear
and I see if I can make it chug
and how long of a time it will take for me to make it chug.
And with the recent addition of the Chug pedal,
people are like 'Oh, Ola'.
'You should make a Will It Chug with the Chug pedal.
Will it chug?'
I mean, that would just be too easy.
It's called the Chug, it's meant to chug.
But with today's video,
I wanna talk a little bit about the future of 'Will It Chug?'.
Have you noticed this thing right here?
You're completely right.
This is the Chug Meter.
This right here will help me decide
if a piece of gear chugs.
So, I wanted to make this short little video explaining how it works.
Hah. Hello.
So as you can see right here, there's a whole bunch of leds
showing if it will chug or not, so you have Clean over here,
you have Rock over here.
Oh, that's a little Chug guy, hello.
Then there's the Metal section over here.
And then over here it chugs.
That's when a piece of gear chugs.
From now on I can close my eyes and play
and you guys will be like 'Oh, it's chugging'.
And I wouldn't even know.
So in this video I'm not trying anything in particular,
I'm just showing the Chug Meter.
I have my guitar going into these two right here.
These are gonna be showing
if the Chug Meter works or not.
And these two pedals go into the FX loop of this Marshall DSL-2.
This is a Neumann TLM microphone over there, OK?
So, without having any of the pedals engaged,
this is the clean tone of the FX loop.
Basically just the FX loop, how the FX loop return sounds.
Guitar going straight into the FX loop return, OK?
And as you can hear it's a clean tone.
And you know, the Chug Meter is showing it's clean most of the time.
With a little hint of rock.
Because it's not completely clean.
There is a little bit of distortion on there.
Cool, huh?
Alright, so I'm gonna engage the Boss Super Over-Drive.
From Waza Craft, OK?
Check this out.
As you can see, it's in Rock mode right now.
Huh? OK?
Apparently, the Boss Super Over-Drive doesn't chug.
But that's OK, it's an overdrive.
It's meant to be used together with a distortion pedal.
In my opinion, for metal.
I don't wanna downplay the Boss Super Over-Drive,
because it is really good at what it does.
I was just trying to showcase that it's not a distortion pedal,
it's an overdrive.
So it only reaches Rock.
OK? Good.
Let's try it out with the Chug.
It chugs.
Hello, look at that, my friends.
The Chug Meter is here to stay.
I'm really looking forward to the future, guys
where I can try out shit and we'll see if it chugs.
It's not only my opinion,
now the Chug Meter will tell me.
There you go.
There's the video for you right there.
Hope you enjoyed it.
Hope you have a great Friday, everyone.
Thank you for watching.
Goodbye.
