Those demos with Telecaster

[Chuck D. Bones]

When I test pedals, I test with at least two guitars; my Chibson LP, Squier Strat & whatever my guitar buddy has loaned me. Since some (most?) pedals react differently to 'buckers vs. single coil, I gotta hear it both ways. My Chelecaster is tuned to open-G; I can use that to hear how slide sounds thru a pedal. I put a push-pull phase-reversing switch on the Tone pot, it's a game changer!

I usually test with two guitars too. A Fender Strat with the Fishman Strat pickups and a low-tuned Balaguer with high output humbuckers. In all those demo videos I post you can probably tell which one I used for the video due to how ridiculous it sounds. I'll also test my bass through the pedals a lot of the time as well just to get an idea of how they handle it.

Either demo it with a Strat or a Tele and I'm fine. It drives me mad when people do a demo of something only using humbuckers xD

Same. Especially drive pedals. My guitars are Gretsch and Jazzmaster, so one clip with LP and one clip with a Strat or Tele and I'm good

Mike Hermans is good about this.
