It was super inspiring to learn about the cheap/broken pedals he used for years and helped me reject the cool pedals = cool music attitude I still come across.

Anyone who rocks a broken Boss DD-5 and Behringer Ultra Shifter that hard isn't going to win any "look at my fancy collection" contest. His freak-out ADD playing has always come first.
This thread must be weird for UG to read... "Nick would shred him to bits"... UG didn't challenge him or ask for this comparison. IDK, this thread just makes me feel strange on his behalf.
Honestly, this thread was intended as in no way serious. I was pulling another page from phanta's playbook, trying to trick Nick Reinhart into posting here by spreading misinformation.
If I'd've thought UG would be offended, I wouldn't've posted it.

Too much? Oops. Apologies. I am in no way saying I want nick Reinhart to show up at UG house to disembowel him with a pedalboard offensive... Just playin is all.
Still being compared to a massive talent like nick Reinhart has gotta bright up your day...
I love Nick, but if it's a battle over who does the better pedal demos, it's no contest. Nick chatting about the Afterneath for 5 minutes or rushing through 4 fuzz pedals in 10 minutes for no real reason (maybe him and Juan had a bus to catch?) is hardly inspiring stuff. I have been on here for a while (lurking, not joined up) and didn't realise UG was RH on Youtube, who I've followed for a while, but his demos are really excellent! "Oh hey guy, here's another 15 pedals you don't have and now want, you're welcome" Good stuff, gold medal for UG.
UG is the man (even though he crushed a dream of mine yesterday). haha. UG, and many ILFers, show things in a more natural state. It's like watching the same process I would go through with new equipment. He mixes, matches,, and explores different ways of looking/playing effects and records it for our information. Sure watching a dude do quick taps and stuff is neat, but watching somebody explore textures of pedals, even when they are relatively the same, in a non-controlled environment is pretty awesome.
If I want to listen to a bad ass do guitar tricks, I will go Agata anyday. Just more my style I guess. (side note: nothing against that Nick-dude...that band tera melos just ain't my thing.)
