Man. That's one heck of a JCM800 tone from a $200 amp in a box! I was expecting it to be like $450 or so. This is right up there with the MXR EVH 5150 pedal in my book.
There's better pedals.china makes better pedals that are way cheaper...$200 for this pedal is a rip-off.i doe t $60 on a pedal from China that blows this p.o.s. out of th water.
@@thefuneralparade surely you were having a moment. This is about the best distortion you can buy, not this demo, but in the real world, I bought a ton, this is the only one I use. It beats most amps.
As much as I'm fond of MXR, and I really am, the EVH 5150 won't stand up against the Angry Charlie. Just got one today and was the best $200 I've spent on a dirt pedal. It really does nail a JCM 800. The TMB EQ settings are very useful AND usable.
The amount of evidence against JHS is overwhelming. He's a repeat offender in terms of stealing others' designs and layouts, bullying one pedal builder who dared to call him out on it to the extent he got her dropped by her distributors, not to mention his ongoing funding of IHOPKC (see their web shop, his album is still there).
Ooh, it's just been taken down. It was still there the last time I looked... Google cache version from 18th October is still there. It's still on CDBaby too.
As an electronics guy, people looking for unity volume at noon are extremely annoying. It takes a bunch of tweaking to achieve, and depending on the circuit will heavily depend on the pickup's output. When I watch a RU-vid video and see the guy say "here I got a flat EQ with everything at 12:00" i lol myself knowing this is totally not necessarily the case. The EQ is there to compensate for different speakers and variables... Audio pots have a logarithmic curve that can vary between makes. Take a minute and Google "audio taper curve".
I think the pedal is amazing but a lot depends on your amp and pedal. It’s not fizzy but make sure you have the right pedal platform. Feel the pedal is way too middy when using a Marshall as a pedal platform. It sounds way better with a fender. I preferred the BE-OD through a Marshall with the SD1 as a boost. The BE OD is thinner sounding vs the angry Charlie and has way more gain. But with a mid hump boost it’s more evenly EQed.
I have both the JHS Angry Charlie and BE-OD. Both great both different. JHS more middy and BE-OD more scooped but you can get them close when they added the Mid control on the JHS Version 3. Thanks for all your vids Fluff! There are vids comparing the two out there from some great guitar gear folks.
the only knock i could have on it is the buildup of low mids. that could also be the mesa, cab, mic, those pickups, whatever. but when you brought the bass control up to give it the right amount of body, it brought a little mud with it. pretty solid tone overall.
That clean channel sounded a bit overdriven. The JHS channel has been popping up in my recommended, so I've watchec quite a few, but this is the first demo of one of their pedals I've seen. It sounds a bit like my old Marshall Valvestate 80 through my equalizer and '94 Jackson Rhoads EX.
How is this compared to the BE-OD? I like the BE-OD because even though it has some fizz, it's very tight over all. I'm looking to replace an OCD with something like this.
Ok, so. quick question. Around me there is currently an Ibanez RG 321 on sale for 180 USD. I'm a high school student with hardly any money, so in order to get it i would need to trade in my existing (and first) guitar. My current guitar is a Fender Squier Starter pack strat with 3 single coils, a 10 watt amp with no gain adjustment (just master volume, and overdrive switch and treble and bass knobs). The neck on my strat is slightly bowed outwards (convex), and it has some fret buzz. It has a trem setup too. First question is: How much is it worth (in USD)? The second question is: Would it be worth it to trade in?
This pedal is amazing and I will say that it loves fender amps. I run it into my fender 65 re-issue Princeton reverb and it makes my amp sound like a wall of JCM800 Marshall amps.
Nice chugs! I have one of these and I wasn’t that impressed but I’ll give it another shot. Question can you mess up your amp having a pedals volume or output all the way up? Not on the amp though.
I own an angry Charlie and the Andy Timmons version love both for different tones but seem to use the Andy Timmons more I just wish that model had a foot switchable power modes.
Synthesizer guy here, the pedal sounds full, but is it combination with the guitar that you're using or is the quality the same whether using passive or active pick ups?
Angry Charlie by far. It nails JCM 800 which is closest to what slash plays through (Marshall Vintage Modified/Glourified Silver Jubilee heads) while Charlie Brown is more of a Blues breaker JTM 45 style pedal. You won't quite get the grit from the CB, but you'll have no problems getting it with the AC.
This pedal is awesome. While some of the demos are good. Everyone does solo hero stuff and that is not how to demo. You need to strum chords to hear definition. This pedal sounds great, chords don't get lost.
can you please demo one or some, or all...tehe... of the MOOER PREAMP PEDALS, i really want to buy the 009 but i'm so hesitant. i think your opinions would help me make the leap, or not make the leap lol......plllleeeeeeeaaaassssseeee
JHS gets a lot of hate for various reasons which is a massive shame because the morning glory is my main gain sound atm. I'd love to see a fluff demo of it
Swiss Army Knight the owner has some IHOP associations and there's also a lot of accusations about the pedals being way to close clones of other companies. I love JHS and they're from my hometown but those are just what I here people hating on them about
Fluff, I seriously worry about you sometimes. You really need help understanding what clean means. This is better than other videos, but it's still not clean by any means.
I find the pedal "Meh". For those wondering about down votes. JHS has been accused of basically modding other pedals and labeling them their own. No need to shit on Fluff's video. You're only hurting his channel. Make Sense?
That pedal show does a side by side with an original guvnor pedal and it is identical, this has more body to it though, they liked this more. But it is dead on like the guvnor
This is the lousiest pedal I’ve ever purchased, especially for $200. It sounds like a cocked wah. I’m done with the obligatory $199.99 pedals, made with tiny surface mount chips. They mostly all sound like shit. There are exceptions. I do love my Morning Glory overdrive so not trying to hate.
waiting for someone with a big channel like you to do a comparison between the angry charlie and the MI Audio Crunch Box or Super Crunch box, normally when companies clone a pedal its to make it cheaper, not almost double the price, there was 1 guy years ago who compared the previous version of the angry charlie to the crunch box and they literally sounded identical on every setting of the knobs, I remember some1 from JHS saying in a video that they did basically just copy the circuit, but would like to see some1 like you compare them
Wait, what???? I just picked up an Angry Charlie V3 today and I feel it's pretty mid heavy. Hell! I never scoop mids and scooped them on it just to drop them a bit. It's also pretty damned crisp. Have you even played through one?
I'll be fair in that I demoed it through a PRS Sonzera 20 watt combo and would have agreed with you, except for I knew it was the amp that made it sound shit and not the pedal. When I got it home, it sounded completely different . . . in a good way, of course.
@@DarthEcoli I have not. With that said, different strokes for different folks. There are a blue million different distortion/gain/overdrive pedals out there, and you, I and everyone else like what they like (nothing wrong with that). Trying pedals can sometime be very subjective and biased by the guitar, amp, speakers, room as well as the human touch. Sometimes you don't have access, or the luxury of trying every pedal. I'll say this much, when I thoroughly review videos on music gear (of all kinds), I tend to be about 80% correct on the final choice. As to the Walrus Ages pedal, when I tried it at a local music store, it spoke to me. After trying and before buying, I watched every available video review of it. The videos reflected the same impression as when I played it. Next opportunity, I would like to try the AC-V3. Godspeed friend...
No way is this a ‘robust’ pedal. It might sound great but this pedal feels light and made of cheap metal casing and workmanship on the hardware ain’t the best around.
vojtasTS29 Honestly, I've had an MI Audio Crunch Box v2 and an MI Effects Super Crunch Box. The JHS AC in all of it's iterations has had noticeable differences to both, in regards to tone and feel. I get the scrutiny and hard feelings, but they really seem similar in so much as they both springboard off of the Guvnor circuit.
you should learn how pedals work youre still using the tube power when you use a pedal sorta like the silver jubilee uses tube power withdiode clipping SO TElL US WHATS THE DIFFERENCE when u put this infront of a tube power amp nothing
