03:54 what is up YouTube my name is Buddy

03:55 blues and today we look at the silk tone

03:58 Overdrive plus if I sound a little out

04:01 of breath and and nasal it's because I'm

04:04 very very sick but I would not take this

04:07 opportunity or waste this opportunity I

04:09 should say to not show you this on time

04:12 because these are going fact because

04:14 these are going to sell out immediately

04:16 so pause buy this then listen to the

04:18 review it is no lie that the silk tone

04:21 amp right there is my favorite amp of

04:24 all time I've had it for I think under I

04:27 think it was in May of last year is when

04:29 I got it and it's just it changed

04:31 everything for me and I'm I'm regularly

04:33 getting new amps I bought this by the

04:34 way I'm regularly getting new amps and

04:36 stuff like that so the Search keeps

04:39 going but when I want that sound when I

04:42 want that sound no amp does it like the

04:45 silk tone amp that's a fact now you

04:47 should check out the video on the amp

04:49 because there's a switch that says

04:50 chiffon and raw silk raw silk has that

04:54 push has that boost thing on the amp and

04:56 I said man I could you just imagine if

04:58 you made that into an

05:00 overdrive so he did and he did a whole a

05:04 whole lot more what have we got we got

05:06 volume tone gain we know what these do

05:09 but the volume is special here so Unity

05:11 gain or Unity you know level volume is

05:14 about

05:15 9:00 Charles does not want you to run

05:18 this at Unity you can do whatever you

05:20 want this is America okay you can do

05:23 whatever you want but Charles does not

05:25 want you to run it this low he wants you

05:27 to push the first tube of your amp he

05:30 wants that volume to be up tone is tone

05:32 right is bright left is dark we know

05:34 this gain is gain now G there's a lot of

05:37 gain on it goes from transparent to

05:40 clone to Tube Screamer to Blues breaker

05:44 to light Distortion to fullon Distortion

05:48 to Big Muff to Big Muff on steroids fuzz

05:52 it has it all it can do every this

05:56 reminds me a lot this is all analog this

05:58 reminds me a lot of the kerum ridge you

06:00 know that overdrive that does everything

06:03 you could get every sound out of that

06:06 including different EQ type things like

06:08 a blues breaker and a Clon are not the

06:10 same EQ

06:12 EQ a Noble's OD R1 and a Clon there

06:16 there's a whole different thing this

06:18 does both tube screen anyway let's not

06:20 get into this now bypass on and off and

06:24 here you have an extra foot switch that

06:26 brings in a ton more gain you got a

06:29 switch that says strangle and raw

06:31 strangle think of it as like a twah

06:34 thing but it's not really that

06:36 nasally like I am right now and raw is

06:40 just it takes that out and it's just

06:42 pure power asymmetrical and symmetrical

06:45 switch right here right gives you a

06:46 little bit more compression I never

06:48 really like that setting on any

06:50 overdrive it just feels like the guitar

06:51 is behind I like the guitar to hit me in

06:53 the face but we're going to play it of

06:55 course and you have a base cut enough

06:58 talking ladies and gentlemen because the

07:00 more I waste time talking to you telling

07:02 you how lovely Charles is and I met him

07:04 and we had lovely times and we had a few

07:07 beers we had a few beers too many and

07:09 all of that and now both of us are sick

07:12 as much as it's cool to tell you all

07:13 these stories if I keep talking these

07:16 are going to sell out this is not a joke

07:18 we did this video and these sold out so

07:23 never going to get an overdrive like it

19:13 this your favorite overdrive yet or not

19:14 yet no because you haven't gotten it yet

19:16 get it get it get it trust it does it

19:18 all it does it all we went from clown to

19:22 Blu breaker to odr it does all the

19:23 flavors and then if you dime the game

19:25 plus I mean it's very loud it's very

19:27 loud I like my overdrives at Unity

19:31 volume so when I turn it on it's just

19:33 perhaps a small bump in volume I don't

19:36 like the destruction like Charles tells

19:39 us but once you buy this pedal from

19:41 Charles it's no longer Charles's

19:43 pedal it's your pedal and you can do

19:46 with it whatever the you please so

19:49 although Charles is a genius you don't

19:50 have to listen to him you can play this

19:52 however the heck you want I prefer mine

19:54 a little bit at Unity maybe a little bit

19:55 more but it does I understand what he

19:57 means by if you push the volume and if

19:59 you push the gain you're you're throwing

20:01 your amp into the fires of of the depth
