Can the Automatone replace some of the best overdrive pedals of all time? We find out…

Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.

Welcome to the show. In this episode, Dan and I are putting the genre-defining Chase Bliss Automatone Preamp MkII up against a handful of our favourite ever overdrive, fuzz and boost pedals. We’ve never found a do-it-all overdrive yet that even comes close to actually doing it all, but by golly, Chase Bliss and Benson have done something extraordinary with the Automatone MkII.
Does it nail every sound exactly? Nope. Does it come close enough for you to be asking serious questions about all those drives on your board? Well, maybe…

Questions arising…
Mick, how do you have your KOT configured?
Completely standard. It’s not the high-gain version, red side set to overdrive, yellow side set to boost, no extra treble on the internal trim pot.

What is that Les Paul?!
Gibson Custom True Historic ’57 Les Paul Goldtop, Tom Murphy aged. It belongs to my good friend Neville Marten, who has kindly loaned it to me for a while.

Enjoy the episode!
