Possibly Best Gear Demo Video?

I'm sure we can all agree that 97.4% of the demo videos out there are useless in showcasing the pedal/guitar/amp in a way that is appealing to our tastes and playing style. As much as I love David Gilmour's tone, I don't necessarily want to hear the solo from Comfortably Numb every time someone is showing off a $400 boutique muff rip-off. Same thing with Hendrix, SRV, ______, fill in the blank. All great guitarists. Just not even close to how I play guitar.

Some demos are entertaining or informational (ie: gearmandude, Aen, PGS, that guy that sounds like a French porn star), but there are few that get me excited like the following...

This video sold me on Catalinbread and on the DLS!



EDIT: What are some of your favorite gear videos?

THE BEST. I don't care if the audio doesn't match up with the video, this is awesome.

And anything that black haired guy from gearwire does. For some reason he could be talking about a toaster and I'd watch every second of it multiple times.

Haha, that's only because Aen's beard rocks so hard. He could probably get away with transposing Kenny G tunes to the guitar and still rock. But if he ever shaves his beard off and tries that he'll probably get beat up. A word to the wise. Learn from Samson.

But come one, you'll always hold a special place in my heart. I'll always have the back of a fellow Michigander!!! Great Lakes, Great Times!!!!! :rock: :rock: :rock:

When I got my Jazzmaster the first "song" I played was this demo through my Dirty Little Secret. It sounded spot on :love:
