    Both Sound good, the UZI has the darker tone, and the Dark Flame is brighter on my end. I think both tones are very useable. Great Video Robert.

    The UZI if you want to get experimental with tonality, the Dark Flame if you want to slam.

    Wow. That was interesting . I actually own the UZI , and love it. The DARK FLAME has much more punch in this comparison . I think it would be good to have both pedals after hearing that difference . Joyo has really raised the bar in the affordable pedal market. Thanks , Robert !
    UPDATE: Just ordered a Dark Flame, like 30 minutes after watching this video . :)

      No it’s not. They’re not the same pedal at all. The Uzi is a clone of the Friedman BE-OD, and the Dark Flame is a clone of the Revv G3.

    First, thank you for telling me the settings you used on the JC-120 for nothing but a clean channel to really get a clear picture of the pedals (I'm thinking using the same settings to test "any" pedals for a solid comparison. Please correct me if I'm wrong?). Thank you for yet another great video and like always, please keep them coming...

    To answer your impossible question: Notify science? Call the people in charge of watching over the endangered stuff in the correct departments with photographic evidence on hand? …walk away slowly? 🤷🏻
    In terms of the main contents of the video, I think the Dark Flame is the winner here. Or at the very least, the one I’d grab if I had to pick only one pedal here simply for the “bright/dark” switch.
    Thank you for the content, Robert. Keep on rockin’!

  • @DarbyRides
    @DarbyRides 9 месяцев назад +2

    I've watched a few of your videos. Being torn between Uzi and Dark Flame, the search led me back to your channel. And honestly the "endangered" conundrum led me to subscribe because with that, you're obviously my tribe. In my humble opinion the best option is to harvest both the plant and the animal (as long as there aren't witnesses). As for the pedal ordeal... If it wasn't for poverty I would get both. But I'm leaning toward uzi. But I primarily play bass so may end up up entirely elsewhere during this trip.

      @enriquepageperez1305 6 месяцев назад +1

      Did you change your mind?
      I am thorn cause I’m buying 2; either uzi and hot witch or dark flame and hot witch.
      Based on your comment and the very little reviews available for hot witch; would you be so kind as to explain why you would RATHER have hot witch than any of these?
      My understanding was that hot witch was a fuzz pedal - these are distortions (so to speak, cause I know that is not the best term as it encompasses many others) so a bit different.
      Am I wrong? I’d appreciate the advice (I can always try them and return one if it’s unnecessary but I had the impression that both uzi and dark flame were doing “one thing” and hot witch “doing another”…).
      Thank you in advance and I hope you got what you wanted one way or the other!

  • @Paul_Lenard_Ewing
    @Paul_Lenard_Ewing 2 года назад +2

    The video is impressive but the range is not the big problem. I have had very few problems with my last generation NUX. The real problem is interference by phones and other devices in that same 2.8 range. I have had gigs where either bad distortion or complete drop outs have happened. The new NUX uses 5.8 and is all but bullet proof. You can also put it in 'just like your guitar cord' setting. It is however $200.00 USD. That said I am impressed by the Joyo and may get one as a back up. I am sure it is equal to my older NUX I am still using and it was about $150.00 USD.
    Let me leave those that get any of these a great tip. The transmitters are a total pain not fitting into many guitars properly plus they look bush league. Buy the ___AH Military grade/ pouch Flip phone belt loop holder___ About $20 or less.
    Leave the transmitter folded and insert a female to female phone jack adapter. Then use a cheap 10" solid ends cheapie pedal patch cable on the other end. Pop it in the pouch and just clip it on your strap. The closer is this rig looks identical to many high end offerings yet the pouch is a higher grade than the real deal.

  • @taz3672

    • @RobertWJackson
      @RobertWJackson  2 года назад +3

      There is such a thing as TOO MUCH gain. LOL

    • @taz3672
      @taz3672 2 года назад +2

      In series yes. Run each pedal to it's own amp maybe not. Set the gain on each pedal to noon and EQ each pedal differently. It would be like running to totally different high gain amps with a signal splitter pedal like the JHS buffer splitter or A,B,Y pedal. I used to use the MXR KFK 10 band EQ pedal into to a JCM 800 and a Ampeg VL502. I used the pedal as a boost like Kerry did. The sound was huge. Awesome thrash metal tones.

    Good demo/comparison!
    I like the Uzi better. (I own it)
    I had interest in the DarkFlame but I think I'll pass on it.
    It's got some scratchiness in the highs that I don't like.
    Almost makes me think of a Vox AC with the wrong distortion pedal in front of it 🤔
    JUST FYI: The Uzi actually sounds similar to the AmpTweaker TightRock (depending on the settings of both) but I guess that's to be expected since they're both Marshally type pedals anyways.
    FYI - I uploaded a little comparison video of the TightRock and TightMetal pedals on my "channel" (lol)
    should check it out!
    And sorry in advance for the cellphone quality recording 😄

      An attenuator doesn’t go in the pedal chain. It goes between the amp’s speaker output and the speaker’s input.
