Tom 14011 Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Jesus I spec'd my Charvel as a Fender and it was literally twice the price. Which is crackers because Fender own Charvel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44107 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Have you seen the JHS pedal (bonsai) that does all the main tube screamer circuits? (I didn't realise it was £235 before I went for the link. Canny pricey.) https://www.andertons.co.uk/jhs-pedals-the-bonsai-9-way-screamer-overdrive-pedal-bonsai?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyOuYBhCGARIsAIdGQRNmQvR8-y9qKU6GDZVGHLl96Mxkd0kyQMdO2Bc6QPXbaoTFDqndNnUaAnzDEALw_wcB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 I didn't need to see that @Gemmill Well I got £320 for the dookie drive and £370 for the FF. Whilst I wasn't planning on expensive pedals - rather bread and butter pedals with decent tones, I wouldn't rule it out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 I'll have to have a read I'm kind of after that Moore/Bonamassa Les Paul tone. Pua creamy as fuck that like. At the moment I'm not getting the clarity. I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's literally just another ts808! Another shout for the Bonsai from me. It's a really cool idea to have all models in one box. Slightly off topic, I'm actually waiting on a guy sending me gut shots of the JHS Muffuletta (multi Big Muff), I'd bet my right bollock only one or two of the models on that are exact copies of the originals, must be some trade offs with some of the models on that thing. There's less differences between the Tubescreamer models than the muffs, so it's way more likely all the different TS models on the Bonsai are true to the originals.

Tom 14011 Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 I tried the Muffeleta but wasn't crazy for it! The kilt is a nuts piece of kit but I imagine it works along the same principles, also I've got fuck all idea what the Gilbert pedal is up to but no matter where I put stuff it sounded awesome. Might keep both or choose the best. All good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1333 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) The guy that's meant to be sending me the gutshots isn't mad on his either. Sure he said it sounded a bit sterile, can't remember his exact words though. Turns out the PG14 has already been traced and cloned. It's definitely not a Tubescreamer for a change. Here's the schematic http://pedalpcb.com/docs/BlueShoeGaiPan.pdf Doesn't look much like any of the usual candidates. Lots of op amp stages for gain and the tone sections and the fet stage is similar to the old Fetzer Valve which will be where the whole "valve amp in a pedal" spiel comes from. Charge pump taking it up to 18v for more headroom too. Cool stuff. Edited September 9, 2022 by Blastronaut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 Yeh tbh I didnt do any research on the Gilbert pedal I just plugged it in and it sounded fantastic. When I've got it home it's versatile a owt, but I can't quite figure out how to make it do what I want it to. It also responds beautifully to pedals behind it and in front of it. Good bit of kit. The kilt has some kind of Fuzz beast mode that sounds like about 10 stacks each running a big muff.....which is hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44107 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Been getting back into the JHS youtube channel recently and this was a good watch. Basically the story of him building the company from modding pedals in his house to where it is now. Pretty inspiring story really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44107 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 See MXR now has the licence to mass produce the Analogman King of Tone (or at least one side of it, basically a Prince of Tone).

Guessing either MXR have been sitting on a fuckton of those obsolete "mojo" diodes, or someone is finally going to have to admit there was never anything special about them and no real reason for a waiting list.

I watched this earlier. It sounds identical to my ears, although there's a point where the bloke plays the same bit a couple of times and claims it feels different and actually attributes it to the special diodes.
