Just got one.. In 38 years of playing I must say this is the best and greatest overdrive I have ever owned... Totally blown away... Be it through a Tweed Princeton, AC15 and a 2 x12 Katana it is nothing short of amazing.. And a blue collar price to boot!! Thank you EHX xx

@M139NG 3 года назад

Good choice. I have one and its been in pretty much constant use for 3-4 years. Still works fine with no issues. I have pedals that are 2-3x the price that i cant say that about. I used to use it to "tube" up my sound before i got my first real amp. It also just felt way better to play through this than directly into my amp sim. It has very "amp-like" response that i like. My two amps are JetCity 20hv and a Engl Ironball 20 and this pedal sounds great into any of them. Cheers!

@osoloco3651 2 года назад

i bought this pedal a few years ago and just put it in storage with the rest of my unused pedals. Fast forward to today, i am getting ready to sell a bunch of my unused pedals and decided to give the Hot Wax one last try, and i'm glad i did. Thru my Gibson Melody maker & JCM800 50w i'm getting some really nice overdrive / distortion with this pedal. This pedal can easily cover any genre from blues, rock, to punk & metal. The hot wax is definitely going on my pedal board.

@kinochdotcom 5 лет назад

Just came back to watch the rest of this demo because I got halfway thru it and went and bought one of these pedals. That was last week and this pedal still has me exploring options with it. Amazing pedal and it works really well with other pedals. I use the Hot Tubes into a TS9 and it just hums. The Crayon side is always a little bright for me alone but blending both channels together and this pedals rocks. Thanks for making this demo, I had overlooked the pedal every time I walked in that shop and a buddy showed me a Hot Cakes pedal vid and this was on the recommendations. I'm so very grateful I clicked on it!

@kosmicwizard 3 года назад

@rickyjones7282 3 года назад

I use one & can honestly say that it gives me most of the great classic drive tones ever recorded (I use old Marshall plexi's,Vox AC30's & 15's as well as a selection of old Fender amplifiers & various Rivera's,Boogies & a variety of other old valve lovlies. The Hot Wax does the job plus it stacks up excellently with other pedals too!!! This is a winner plus it's also priced competitively but don't let that fool you as in my opinion it qualifies as a boutique pedal!!!

If I had a bunch of money I would "pedal subscribe" to EHX...as in,everytime they released a new pedal it would be shipped directly to me and deducted from my bank account automatically,because they are hard pushed to ever make a bad pedal,love nearly everything they've ever made. Best pedal company ever.

Sounds like a fine pairing of drives for stacking which together covers alot of sonic ground from a clean boost through to fairly high-gain modern distortion. Quality demonstration and enjoyed the kind of RATM-esque riff you good bloke's jammed out the video with which indeed more than qualifies the Hot Wax as bass guitar versatile. I'll be trying one when I am able to, All the best to all the EHX team \m/

@Moviegod37 7 лет назад

I shouldn't even write this yet because I'm still in the honeymoon phase-- but I got mine in the mail this afternoon. I spent about an hour noodling with the different sounds... and damn. Just damn. I am currently in a 90's cover band and was looking for something less "Tubescreamery" for my lighter OD sound. I have been using a Green Rhino, and it's a great pedal, but not quite the tool I was looking for. I'm digging the hairier sound I'm getting out of the Crayon side. But I was stunned how badass the Hot Tube side, or the two stacked together can get. I wasn't sure if the "70's CMOS" description of the pedal would give me a sound I found useful, but I was immediately hearing that type of fuzzy distortion that is all over 90's music. It reminded of "Sixteen Stone" era Bush, for example. I've still got to put it through some paces in the full band context, but-- man-- this is a cool pedal.

@serfinusa9532 Год назад

i own both this and the bass big muff. To my ear, the left/hot tubes side can achieve sounds identical to the Bass Big Muff. So if youre looking for a Bass Big muff pedal with the addition of a Crayon pedal this pedal is more bang for your buck. i've never owned a regular big muff, but this pedal might be comparable to it as well

@ForViewingOnly 7 лет назад

Sounds amazing! And I love that your pedals are excellent value too! I didn't realise that EHX also had a pedal called the Crayon, just like JHS... and both announced on the same day back in 2015 according to Google. I'm guessing it was too late for either company to change the name so you both came to an agreement. Go on EHX, tell us the story!

@kosmicwizard 3 года назад

The crayon by jhs is a paired down version of the colourbox. It is somewhat of a console/fuzz. The ehx crayon is a transparent or fullrange od. Josh has a RU-vid video and he hasn't done an episode on ehx or sovtek yet, which is so strange...

@rickyjones7282 3 года назад

Same here!!! My personal favourite go to default pedal is definitely the Hot Wax here as is gives me the majority of the history of the last 7 decades of electric guitar music (if I need more extreme tones drive wise it plays well with other pedals from other companies) & on my pedalboards (I have quite a few on the go) I at least have 3/4 EHX pedals because they're so good!! I am lucky enough to own a Klon (I brought mine when they were cheap,new & relatively unpopular) & in certain situations because it's really valuable now I needed a substitute that was replaceble,& after trying the incredible J Rocket Archer I took a chance on the EHX Soul Food & I was knocked out that it was so close to the Klon & at a price where I could not refuse but too buy 3 at once (they're consistent too!!) so now I have backups & I don't really take the Klon out of the studio now!! Let's not forget Big Muff (their is more varieties of them than people & they're all AMAZING!!) the POG & Memory Man & the utterly AMAZING Grand Canyon & everything else in the range.I must have the majority of the catalogue of their products & I like yourself haven't found anything that I don't like!!! I use other brands too (don't we all?) but EHX produce pretty much everything & the Pitchfork has actually replaced my Digitech Whammy which is notoriously unreliable & in my opinion the Pitchfork & Pog & Mini Pog track better than that big red Digitech Box!!

100usd? This is the best. EHX makes great cheap pedals. I heard a demo of this on bass. Sounds like a Darkglass Omicron, bit cheaper. I doubt anyone can pass a blind test of both. I'm getting this for my 5 string.

@skyviewdesign 5 лет назад

The Hot Tubes and Darkglass B3K are both CMOS drive circuits, so I'm sure with the blend and EQ on the Hot Wax, you can get some similar sounds. I actually corresponded with the original engineer who developed the Hot Tubes to see if adding a Blend and Bass Boost would be possible on the original circuit, and he didn't think it would be possible without completely redesigning the circuit. I brought it up in the Product Ideas Forum on the EHX website, and now a year or so later after the Crayon was released... I'm glad that the engineers there had the same idea for the potential of this circuit on bass!

It seems like for a decent bass tone, the Bass EQ control has to be almost full and the Treble EQ almost completely scooped. Does this mean that the pedal is not particularly versatile when using for Bass? (I'm considering buying this for my bass pedal board as I prefer guitar distortion pedals over bass ones)

@samuel2234 3 года назад

Can i get the same tone if i combine crayon and hot tubes as 2 pedals?

@M139NG 3 года назад

I think that was the reason for making the Hot Wax. Because people liked to combine those two pedals, so why not built a 2in1 version. So theoretically yes, but you won't have the "blend" function. I have had mine for 2-3 years and the left (hottubes) side is on 90% of the time. Even with no gain and not even pushing my amp it saturates/warms up my clean tone such that i rarely turn it off:) So i kind of use it the opposite way compared to the guy in this demo. I add the right side when i want a classic heavy rock distortion sound. I think of the left side as the power tube section and right side as preamp. To me the HotTubes is the real secret sauce here. You can really use any overdrive in front of it and it will sound great.
