Today I explore the history and legend of the Bluesbreaker amp and subsequent pedals. From the early 60s when Eric Clapton needed an amp that would fit in the "boot" of his car, to the modern pedals based on the pedal based on the amp, this rabbit hole goes deep. In the comments below let me know your favorite jam we did, if you'd like to see future episode comparing Bluesbreaker based pedals, and an artist you love who plays or has played a JTM 45 or Bluesbreaker pedal.

Hey dipshits, why don't you release your old pedals again? Build them in China, bring down the price. People are leaving you behind. Same with your amps: Make a low watt, Chinese made, version of the JTM 45. You're going to get left behind if you don't get your shit together. Already traded my old Marshalls for new Orange, Victory, and Blackstar amps.

I worked for marshall in 1991 so if you have an original Blues Breaker, Shredmaster, or Drive Master it stands a 33% chance of having my test signature on the PCB.

I've been digging going through the catalog of JHS Shows so much, and this episode was just phenomenal. The history & insights are always brilliant but the jams Josh and the boys lay down are priceless-they give context to what the pedals in the spotlight sound like in a real world musical situation AND they just kick ass. That last riff & groove could absolutely be expanded into a full song with melody, lyrics, etc. It's so refreshing to hear original musical bits instead of 12 bar clichés. Keep doing work JHS...the entire team is on fire.

I have one of those Marshall Bluesbreaker pedals and it is simply amazing! I got it at a garage sale back in the day for like $20. Just like I got one of the original long dash DS-1’s with the clear switch and a very very low serial number that dates it to 1978 at a garage sale in the mid 80’s for $20. It sounds amazing and nothing like a regular DS-1. Both pedals are amazing!

@Xn4W 5 лет назад

that Snouse though.....ridiculously similar to the original Bluesbreaker, then the presence knob to add a little brilliance. Thank you for this video. I convinced myself I need the Analogman King of Tone because, well no explanation needed, it's the King of Tone pun intended. But this video provided me with so many other good alternatives and helped me discover the Snouse. I actually already have a Morning Glory V4 and thought I needed the King of Tone because it's such a unicorn pedal, no where near the unicorn level of the original Klon, but everyone still wants one. Idk what magic potion they're drinking at Snouse but the did such a good job in replicating the tone from the original Marshall Black Box Bluesbreaker, and the added brilliance feature really gives it the Marshall feel. I also respect you Josh, for not trying to only market JHS pedals and really pay your respects to other pedal companies, I take my hat off to you for that. Your unbiased view on effects and tone is what keeps me watching your vlogs and actually makes me want to buy more JHS pedals. Good job, keep doing what you're doing man!

In a way, I find these "in the band context" comparisons to be a lot more useful. I find myself loving specific pedal sounds when demoed only to not care for them in certain contexts. You have the guitar and amp which make a difference, but also it can be hard to understand how a sound will actually sound in the mix of the rest of the instruments when you're only listening to the guitar. It's fun to listen to guitar only and hear all the details, but I think putting it in a mix is more useful. Of course, it's also a lot more work to record, which is probably why we don't see this often with pedal demos. So thanks. I like these. Keep it up!

@mattgilbert7347 5 лет назад

I'm using the Charlie Brown more often than the MG these days, it really does the low-gain thing better than most other high-gain JTM "distortion" pedals. It likes my modern-style (kinda bright) Duncan-Designed humbuggies as well. For high-gain JTM/Plexi stuff I'm using either a Jetter Gain Stage Black (AC/DC in box, no BS) or Greer Amps Little Samson.

@misterruth9404 4 года назад

Just got a CB. Great tone, really. I think you get better tone using the Charlie Brown and another mild overdrive (amp or pedal) than by using a pedal with more gain.

@jean-pierrejoubert6140 5 лет назад

I'm curious: When you talk about "pedal topology", I'm curious just what you mean? Do you mean that the circuit is literally identical, but part values and chips are swapped out? Do you mean that the circuit is similar, but with other parts and minor mods to the circuit to make those parts work? Or do you mean something else? Or all of the above?

@josiahlee1982 4 года назад

Topology describes the layout. Like 1 transistor, 2, 3, 4, etc. where the clipping stage is. It’s not exact for example the d*a*m* meathead is a 1 knob fuzz face topology. 2 transistor gain stages, no clipping diodes. Electra topology would be 1 transistor and diodes. It’s a rough reference and can encompass a lot. It’s not breaking down exact values just the general layout as different transistors need different biasing resistance values etc.

@Ben Hackett Clapton ditched the full stacks after Cream to shy away from the guitar hero image, not because of master volumes.

My Randall RB500 and Marshall DBS7215 is my Bluesbreaker. The Bluesbreaker amp was actually the Marshall JTM45 combo used by Eric Calpton when he played in John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, hence the name Bluesbreaker. The Marshall was based on the Fender Bassman, a bass amp that guitarist loved to use. So actually the JTM45 is a bass amp...which makes Clapton a bassplayer. And makes the Bluesbreaker pedal and based on pedals all bassplayer pedals...and all guitarplayers who use them realy wannabe bassplayers...aren't all guitarplayers just wannabe bassplayers...and....and....and....

Is the blue breaker a pedal? Or is it an amp? You're all wrong it's actually the illuminati!

@slartbarg 5 лет назад

Clearly, the bluesbreaker was given to us by Aliens and it is incomprehensible to the human mind. A Lovecraftian piece of music equipment

@bipbipletucha 4 года назад

I'm sorry but why do you have so many Sovtek amps just sitting around???

@cameronlesley2428 5 лет назад

I play bass and love hearing all the great pedals, and I love to ride my bicycle . Can you do a bike check on all your bikes also please. Since seeing your dirty kanza t shirt I thought would ask. Many thanks

During your cosmic rant about Bluesbreakers, I noticed you need to use eyebrow pencil, lol... j/k - bcuz the only reason i noticed is because my eyebrows are the same as yours...lol

There’s a this type of person watching this episode: the one who says “Hooray! Another JHS episode!

@whitewizzardllc2348 4 года назад

JHS makes solid stuff. King of Tone is however a really special circuit. It’s my most important pedal along with my Maxon PH-350 Phaser. Everybody should have at least one JHS pedal though....mine is the Pulp n Peel. Paired with some of the wonderful modern delays that Strymon etc are doing, anything you are missing in the “it almost sounds like tape” realm is elevated from that orange squeezer circuit into virtually sounding like tape. It’s very musical. I prefer it to the Cali even.

I tried to make a Bluesbreaker from a kit I bought. Didn't work when I finished it. Had to send it to you and you fixed it up for me. That's been over 10 years ago and I'm still using it. Thanks

Did you hotplate that JTM 45 or were you killing birds flying over ? My plexi will tear paint off the walls and those aren't much quieter.

@davelanciani-dimaensionx 5 лет назад

Yeah, just how loud was the JTM45? It looks like the drummer has earplugs in.

@romanslegion7771 4 года назад

Have you ever broken down Hendrix’s Marshall amp?I know PRS took one head and dialed in a new creation and are asking over 4 grand. I think Marshall has tried to reissue a hand wired Marshall , chasing Jimi’s live tone. What is out there today that can recreate his electric tone that won’t break the bank? Really always enjoy your work. It’s obvious you do what you love. Much love and appreciation. Just another lead guitar player from Texas✌🏻

@derekanderson6986 5 лет назад

While on the topic of clever pedal names, have you thought about doing an EQ pedal called “The Tone Nail”? Just a thought.

Not only do you make great pedals, you are a super nice guy. I think that is cool that you used to live in Tupelo, MS former home of the King Elvis Presley.

@drewtullio2385 5 лет назад

Not gonna lie, I think I like the sound of the Charlie Brown pedal over the bass breaker. It's a little more aggressive sounding, in a really great kind of way.

@paulpennington3800 5 лет назад

Great video. I would love to see a blues breaker pedal shoot out. Also if you want to send me one of your 15 Sovtek amps that’s would be great. I seriously want one so bad, but until my kids sell on eBay I will be without. Jk. Keep up the good work. Also my son and I watch you every night before bed. He particularly likes the video with drums in them, but he’s 3 so what does he know. Thanks again.

The Bluesbreakers were John Mayall's band, which featured players like Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Mick Taylor

@davidpggarrett 5 лет назад

* Important footnote: Eric's Dallas Rangemaster treble booster was pictured on top of his JTM45, so that's part of the sound too (I have an Analogman Beano Boost clone)

@GuitarLessonsNYC1 5 лет назад

If you’re talking about Clapton, there is no picture of him using a treble booster. He says he never used one. The engineer says he never used one. It’s a myth he used one. The Beano record sound is a Les Paul with PAF’s into a dimed Blues Breaker amp. It’s inaccurately documented that he used a range master or fuzz at different points. Straight to amp.

So, isn’t the Fender Bassbreaker amp line also based on a blues breaker?

@joshuabenton3785 5 лет назад

Kind of yes. But you can tell it is definitely angrier than the original.

@namebrandmason 5 лет назад

@@joshuabenton3785 Seems like every new amp is angrier. Everybody demands more gain, while forgetting the classic tones are all about power amp distortion.

@arnolddealiii4259 5 лет назад

It's a Fender Bassman circuit with 2 EL34 tubes instead of 6L6 tubes. 2, british voiced 12" speakers in a partially closed back, instead of 4, 10" speakers. I have it, I love it. Attenuator works but its still too loud to crank. I refer to it as the poor mans Bluesbreaker combo.

Awesome stuff, as per usual! My favorite jam was the last one (9:50). Awesome grungy vibes, and that guitar's a beaut! I don't think he uses them exclusively or anything, but I'm pretty sure Trey Anastasio has used a couple JTM heads in somewhat recent tours. He always comes up with some great tones!

On the chuggy bit, the Charlie Brown had this "spank" that I really loved. That wasn't present as much with the amp but honestly I preferred the pedal!
