  • This week's episode is a little different. In fact, it’s pretty weird. There are those that could call this episode an over-extended, shameless plug for JHS gear, and others who would argue that it’s too drenched in self-loathing and sadness to be anything other than depressing. Honestly, I’m not sure who's right.

      When I bought my Colour Box, the plan was to keep it off the board and use it for production only. Bass DI, mic pre, EQ. But I decided "hey why not throw it in front of my amps as a test". Needless to say it's now on my board. I usually run the eq flat, do it's basically a crayon at that point. Immediately became my favorite and most versatile drive pedal. If you don't have a crayon or colour box, get one you will not regret it.

      When the drive is cranked, it becomes a nondescript distortion. It shines at low to med gain dirty settings, but is uninspiring on the clean setting, and the gain knob does nothing. It's just too tight when it's cranked. Part of the charm of the Silvertone is how beautifully crappy it sounds dimes.

      I completely agree. Great pedal. I just saw it on Raffael Saddique’s pedalboard build on the Vertex channel and he’s one of the most prolific producer/writer/players and has written and produced a lot of legends. He had it on his board so it can’t be bad. I almost bought it several times because the demos sound great.

    Honestly, I think part of the disconnect is that pedal builders often name their inventions with allusions to other pedals or companies, and a lot of the public doesn't know that. With the Cheeseball, if I didn't know about Lovetone, I would definitely have assumed it was supposed to be an ’80s-style, hair metal, Marshall-and-rackmount rig distortion.

(Well....not really, but it makes me happy,) and it's literally always 'ON' on the clean setting, even when I'm not playing..and it's plugged into an actual twin twelve amplifier which I play through (although I don't have the correct original cabinet because I live in Australia and someone must have bought it out here, but left the nest/cabinet behind due to its bigness and something we call 'The Tyranny of Distance')' with the JHS Tw12 pedal added the head iwent from awesome to , not awesome+awesome as you may think; but went to awesome². I was concerned at first that I may create some awesome phase cancellation or comb filtering ,or that it would be like when John Malkovich climbed through the existential 'wormhole' into being able to experience Being John Malkovich (director Spike Jonze 1999) and things get a little ......odd.

The ratio knob is not stepped (a surprise) and is so easy to user overall because it really sounds great at any setting and it’s very easy to set up to what you need just by listening to it. The only thing that reaaally fucks me up is the continuous eternal tap tempo light, which is great in a way, but also kind of drives you mad. But still, you’re a genius, keep making pedals!!!
