Could work it has a lot more gain than what I showed here and those aren’t really overly distorted anyway? It’s pretty versatile and just basically sounds like a Marshall.
Awesome video I drove up and parked at the last switchback because I wasn’t sure if there would be a place to turn around beyond there. We then hiked to the summit from there.
The Behringer has more upper mids and less lower mids which will sound better for palm mutes especially when paired with an overdrive or tube screamer in front. Single notes can sound fat with both on with some tweaking in the knobs to get a blend of both worlds. I'm growing more fond of fuzz having noticed that they have the right balance of hair, bite and some grit. 30/30/30 ratio of each it seems with this pedal; where as plain distortion pedals have 50% bite, 40% hair and only 10% grit which = shitty metal tone. Take the boss metal zone for instance. I have to fight with that thing just to get it to open up and once I get it to do what I want it, just the slightest tweak of any knob on the pedal or the amp will send it down shit creek without a paddle.
@@trcase7507 if you go to Peakbagger someone reported being able to drive up still. Not sure the route but I’m guessing it’s the usual one through the station still.
Talk about one overhyped mod! You can’t defeat the overall volume/headroom of an amp! Just dial back the gain knob to get your max clean headroom. And turn up the master volume! This isn’t a pedal, where turning the volume knob doesn’t really add signal, only takes away from the signal. The master volume on a pathfinder is attached to a TDA2030A power chip, it actually does amplify the signal of the preamp! Removing led,s just makes the preamp distortion that hard hitting opamp voltage rails distortion. And if that was a great sound, how come more pedals weren’t so equipped? Maybe boost pedals at maximum settings depending on the design would get you there. But you have one built In already! Just dial back the gain knob people if you don’t like the distortion- or play around with different diodes - or use a pedal? Increase volume. I believe the power section has this kind of distortion you’re looking for already
I own both a Pathfinder 15 and a Pathfinder 10. Never used the 10 at all and regretted buying it until I did the LED mod. Now I use it all the time. It's like turning a solid state Pathfinder 10 into a tube driven Vox AC4. Sorry to disagree, but I had real world experience with it.
@@billymasters11 thanks for your honesty! When it comes to SS amps as well as some tube amplifiers, the second people know there are clipping leds, everyone wants to remove them. But then go on and purchase 50+ overdrives - 99% of which have clipping leds. And red leds, are some of the smoothest around. The orange crush 12 is modded to bring the clipping leds more or less in the circuit with the overdrive pot, a mod discussed a lot for the Vox Pathfinder. But absolutely nobody knows how to use the feature on the orange crush 12 amplifier. They Fiddle with it along with the gain knob and have no idea what they’re doing
Greetings from Brazil ... I made a modification of the leds and the capacitor in my vox Pathfinder 10 Union Jack and it was great! The sound became much more full-bodied!
Great Amp video. After watching about 40 videos on the JC-22 and JC-40 three things are clear: 1) JC-22 for a small room / bedroom / apartment - still might be too loud, therefore Roland Micro Cube GX or Katana 100w Amp Head (only) are good alternatives, but aren’t true stereo/chorus replacements - at that point it comes down too your pedals and/or Boss Tone Studio for the Katana 2) JC-40 for Gigs and large rooms / Garages / practice specific rooms 3) JC-40 has the addition of distortion and vibrato built-in as well
@@SergeiVlassov by ‘too loud’ I mean if you live in a small apartment or shared housing even if you set the JC-22 volume to 0-5 you may still find that it is physically too loud i.e. you are pissing off your housemates or other tenants in your apartment block
@@AndrewKarczewski still not sure I get it... Can you set volume just a bit above 0? Or is it so that it makes some step from zero to minimal audible level, and this minimal is already loud? Hard to believe considering it is solid state circuit. Usually you just set the volume at the level that you need, as low as you need. But in your situation headphones is the only option I suppose. I always play in headphones at night, because playing at very low volumes provides no fun.
Andrew Karczewski yup that’s what i thought too after binge watching roland jc22 videos since i live in a small apartment and would need a quiet amp. But i decided to bite the bullet and purchase the jc22. And guess what, it surely can whisper at low volume! Been using it as my bedroom amp for couple of months now
Not sure if you posted a video about this yet... In my experience, at least with the JC 120, amp modelers sound much better than analog distortion pedals in front of it. I plugged my HeadRush Gigboard into the front of a JC 120, that thing sounded Dynamite. I tried everything from crunchy to downright dirty, and it sounded really good. Unfortunately I don't own it, it was a friends. Wonder if you tried the same? If this little jc22 sounds anywhere near like the results I had with the 120 I'll buy one ASAP. Putting a modeler in front, or 4 cable, gives you Endless Options.💯🎶🎸🤘🏼
if the amp is being mic'ed, chances are you could turn it up on the console. Volume issues are more of a concern to gig situations without mics and PAs.
@@Morpheus2292 If you think 30 watts tube amps are equally loud as 30 watt solid state amps , please think again before cranking a tube amp or I pity your ears.
So you quite literally have to force him there by placing mines behind him he'll run away from them so just constantly place them and pick them up until hes close to that door
Can it hang with a loud rock drummer in a small to medium sized bar/club? Does it have enough clean headroom to gig with is what i'm after. Will it distort on a certain volume level? Thanks, man!
Behringer pedals are always a "bit" more dull, slighty less top end and attack up front. In person the difference is more apparent, great value in any case, if you have a bright rig they may be perfect for you.
Class D solid state amps, fast becoming the norm to a generation of young living room pickers, have virtually silent noise floors. But class A/B solid state amps have a hum or hiss from the power amp. They also deliver much more effective volume per watt than class D amps.
