    Brad Jackson from Jackson Audio and guitarist John Souki present the Golden Boy transparent overdrive pedal. Slide master and modern guitar hero Joey Landreth prefers his overdrive transparent, full of detail, and soaked in harmonics. So, he and Jackson Audio collaborated to create his ultimate transparent overdrive - the Golden Boy. Based around a bluesbreaker-style overdrive circuit (Joey’s favorite), the Golden Boy is a versatile tone machine, which, like Jackson Audio’s Broken Arrow overdrive, is loaded with four clipping diode presets, a MOSFET boost circuit, and a 3-band Baxandall-style EQ for putting the final touches on your tone. Additionally, the Golden Boy includes Jackson Audio’s innovative Gain Cycle feature, which allows you to ramp up the pedals maximum gain across four progressively heavier gain settings.

    I mean this as constructive criticism, so please don’t take offense.
    - In a drive pedal demo, we need to hear how the drive sustains and breaks up. This is not shown here at all. We just need you to hit a few chords and let them ring out. The playing at the end was the closest to helpful playing, and even that wasn’t incredibly informative because we don’t know which clipping type was active or anything about how the pedal was set.
    - Please tune the guitar. If you have to pause the recording, pause the recording. Just tune the guitar.

    After some research I bought this pedal. So far I like it and have a midi toggle that goes between two different drive/boost combinations. Pretty cool. For the gain stage, I recommend having a separate display on the pedal that shows 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%. I find it really hard to tell what gain level it is by the LED brightness.

    Thank you for all your videos.
    I bought it the other day. It is a very nice pedal.
    But it is not sold in Japan, so there is no instruction manual.
    I would like an explanation in Japanese so I can have the text of the characters in this video.
    I will translate it into Japanese and create the video.
    I want you to prepare it somehow.
    Please do so.

    Just what the Guitar World needs: More "Transparent Overdrive" and "Tube Screamer" pedals.
    Can't wait till the next fad comes along when everyone and their dog release the brand new "semi-true-parallel bypass empty box foot switch", "full wet fx loop on an fx-loop for your fx loop", "Drop Z tuner for banjo" and "classic spagetthi Western silicon fuzz gate with 0.222% of light crunchy tonewood sideburns" [goes along great with all the "fuzz with self-oscilation for shoegazing and swamp sludge" out there]

      @Sasketchejuana_man 3 года назад

      for a BLUESBREAKER style pedal i agree it does sound sortve thin and compressed. Maybe i can adjust some settings to get away from that. Its supposed to be the opposite of that. Supposed to be a lot more transparent and less compressed. but it does have the TS style compression available.

      @howabouthetruth2157 3 года назад

      I know exactly what they "mean" ( I've been professionally gigging for decades ) ......"transparent overdrive" is what we all strive for: more sustain & resonance BUT WITHOUT ADDED DISTORTION. If you carefully play with a BOSS SD-1 Super Overdrive, using a really good amp AND a really good guitar to begin with, the THREE work together to at least get part of that sought after idea. ( and a damn good 1 in a million guitar plays a much bigger role at this than most would imagine, TRUST ME ) Why do ya think the SD-1 is still one of the most popular & COPIED circuits to this very day? The trick is use the LEVEL knob on the SD-1 while slightly compensating the volume of the amp DOWN, and also trying to use as little of the gain knob as possible on the SD-1, it's a fine line/balance.....the goal is: MORE OVERDRIVE WITHOUT THE ADDED DISTORTION. I assure you, Dave Friedman and Lars Jacobson ( Lars used to be the #1 amp tech in Florida, I know him personally, he just never built his own amps to put on the market, he modded amps ) know all about it, that's why people pay them to mod their amps, and it's damned expensive. Lars modded 2 of my Marshall's years ago. The SD-1 is still my favorite pedal for trying to achieve this. Did they achieve what they claim in this video with this new pedal? Hell, I don't know. Haven't watched or listened yet. Bookmarked it to check it later. I got other shit to do right now. But seriously, I just gave you guys the true definition of what they're trying to CLAIM.....and what we've all been striving to do since the 70's.
