I keep realizing there are so many pedals in existence.
It’ll wreck your brain if you give it too much thought. It’s just never ending 😊
This sounds MASSIVE. The stereo spread with the LVX is nuts. The baritone is pure 80s goodness. The synth sounds IMMENSE and gorgeously unique. Thank you for this.
Awww, man! Thank you so much! This thing definitely delivers some huge stereo tones. That Phase/Ratio dial is key when playing in stereo. It can get otherworldly epic
Who used a baritone in the 80’s? I’m not disagreeing, as I genuinely don’t know, and am curious. Was there a player, or genre, well known for using a baritone, in the 80’s?
@@CorbCorbin Robert Smith used a Bass VI on a ton of Cure songs, which is essentially a baritone.
Dreamy, Nostalgic beautiful pieces of music, particularly that first one . Great sounding pedal too .
Thank you! Means a lot to me that you enjoyed the tones and the tunes. This is indeed a phenomenal pedal
That last sound, with the synth, almost sounds like the 90s Aeon Flux cartoon soundtrack which is a VERY good thing ❤
Awesome! And thanks for reminding me of that show. Had completely forgotten about it 😊
This is that new sound im looking for.
Haha! I'm getting Back to the Future flashbacks now 😂
YAAAAAAAASSSSS!!! I am so freaking excited that YOU are demoing this! I was hoping you would be doing this… I mean, how could you NOT? Andddddd with the Meris LVX & Mercury7 in tow?
You always make incredible videos, but chorus is my [sorta] guilty pleasure and you just made my month by putting this out!
Really happy to hear you’re excited about this. It’s a killer chorus pedal. Can’t recommend it enough 👌
Your intro is dreamy! This New Wave looks like an "end all" chorus pedal!
Happy you liked it. I'm really pleased with that intro jam as well. Was fun to make. And yes, if this was the final chorus pedal I would ever get to play, then I wouldn't complain. It's jus glorious!
The low notes on the bari have such a Twin Peaks vibe (the show, not the pedal, lol). I dig it, nice demo!
Well, I did that very intentionally. So I’m really happy you caught the reference 😊
WOW! I need one :)
Go for it! It's just a phenomenal modulation pedal. One of the finest I've played
beautiful sounding creation there at opening!
Thank you so much!
Man it’s been a while since I’ve been excited for a new pedal. I love modulation pedals like this. Might replace my obne visitor . Great demo by the way. Dreamo should be a thing also haha
Happy you liked the demo. Dreamo all the way 😊
Thanks for the synth demo on the Microfreak.
My pleasure
Great guitarist, lovely affinity！
Thanks a lot!
So glad you did this dreamy demo. Perhaps this pedal will make it into a future "tonal teamwork" episode? 🤞 It must be phenomenal at creating dreampop washes.
Happy you enjoyed it. I'm sure this pedal will make several appearances on the channel. It's become my go-to chorus. Sounds so lush and dreamy
"Dreamo"!!! I am totally stealing that.. ⛅☮
Steal away! :)
Dang. I tried to press the "like" button 3 times during the video, I forgot I had already pressed it.
Awwwww! Thank you for your enthusiasm. Means a lot ❤
❤🔥💖
Thank you!
Welp, I bought one before the video ended. 😂
Honored to hear you found the video inspiring ❤
So artistically encouraging. Best dreamo demos ever. Thank you so much. Greetings from Peru.
P.D. That pickguard and knobs are so legit. Where did you get them?
Thank you very very much! Pickguard and knobs were custom made by Indra Guitars. He’s an incredibly gifted artist and craftsman
This might be it. I've been considering an EQD Pyramids for a stereo chorus sound (love the Death Cab For Cutie chorus tone on their newer albums), but they're having trouble getting the chips for them. Maybe fate was holding me back until this released. Awesome demo Stefan!!
The Pyramids is a flanger, not chorus. It does some basic chorus, but it is amazing
@@Samana009 I definitely know what Pyramids is. I don't generally like flanging, but I liked the sounds well enough from Pyramids. In my opinion, any decent flanger should be able to do a good chorus. I'm not usually a fan of chorus either, but I want a stereo one, and I very much prefer the watery early Boss chorus sounds to the sterile ones that are more common. The Pyramids can definitely do that sound, as does the New Wave it seems...
@@Shadoweclipse1386 Try the Tricerachorus from Eventide. It is the best one I've heard so far. That is really huge stereo image for
your sound
@@Samana009 Awesome! I'll check it out! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@Shadoweclipse1386 You should also check out the Walrus Julianna!
Dreamo is pretty much my favorite.
Woohoo! ❤️
what's on the pick guard? and do you have solo albums like this? if not you should man.
Great demo. By the way that pick guard looks awesome!! Where did you get it. Would love something like with a different design.
Thank you! Indra Guitars made that pickguard for me. He's a wizard
How do you think this compares to the walrus Julianna? I know they are very different pedals, just wondering if you have an idea of say their difference in approach, versatility and stereo width? Trying to decide between the 2, and can’t buy both.
If you want options whatsoever, The New Wave has like 7 presets for each mode.. That's why I chose this one. The 18v power draw is iffy and it may be more noisy at low volumes closer to an amp, but once you crank a bit it's no problem. The tone shaping is very wide.
stunning playing..are you using alternate tunings? well
done!!
Thank you so much! Just playing in Drop D in this demo. So nothing fancy 😊
@@thepedalzone thanks a lot stephan! Really really dig your humble yet really articulate and inspiring approach of music..keep going!
Hey.... You have a time Machine.... Chords of Orion ... I got you! 👊🏼
I have a time machine??
I love JA and have a prism and golden boy so obviously this is on my list of potential Boss CE5 killers. If I'm just wanting a nice multivoice 80's sounding chorus, I'm also considering the Strymon Ola, the UA Astra and the Eventide Tricera.
I'm seeing Ola's and Tricera's on reverb for around $200~225 and the new wave and Astra for about $50~60 more. I've watched tons of reviews and I'm trying to really see if there is a reason to spend more than what I can spend for the Ola and Tricera?
I feel like the new wave and Astra both (while sounding excellent) are offering modes/settings that I know I will never use and although the Ola and Tricera both have some cool tricks too.
Where can I download the firmware update for this pedal as I am having power issues on this pedal.
Wasn't aware that a firmware update existed for it. I would reach out to Jackson Audio about it. They should be able to send it to you if it exists
Does your JMJM have stock pickups?
No, I got Righteous Sound Jazzmaster Pickups installed in it
Somebody make a comparison vs strymon mobius or gfi synesthesia please. :)
Very hard to compare the 2 both excellent pedals in there own ways. I would much prefer the synthesia personally. More sound design options imo. But mobius is awesome as well. You cant go wrong with either of them.
It’s difficult to compare the New Wave with those two units. New Wave is an all analog chorus/vibrato with digital controls, which means you get access to the good stuff like MIDI, Presets and different LFOs. But what you’re getting is still “just” chorus. An epically glorious collection of chorus tones, mind you. Mobius and Synesthesia on the other hand are all digital units which seek to emulate a ton of different modulation times through heavy duty DSP tech. Hence you’ll get stuff way beyond the world of chorus and vibrato in those two. So it all comes down to what you need. Do you need one if the finest analog chorus/vibrato tones out there, or do you need something that’s able to produce a wealth of different modulation sounds? Only you know the answer
What I mean compare is just a video showing any of the two along w New Wave mainly for reference. Not saying others is better and others aint. I got a synesthesia and mobius.
@@ElectricNimPedalsPhilippines - Okay. Don't have a Mobius. Synesthesia comparison could be possible in the future. I'll see if time allows it :)
There's also the Eventide Tricerachorus which would be a more direct competitor to this pedal. I have both the Tricerachorus and Mobius and they are a little different. The Tricerachorus is a straight chorus pedal built on rack chorus units while the Mobius has really good chorus on its own but does other modulations like you said. For not being a dedicated chorus pedal, the chorus on the Mobius is really good. I think the one thing the Tricerachorus may have over the New Wave pedal is an easier ability to program presets and also recall presets from your computer via USB. Would be interested in comparing those two pedals though.
Deberías de hacer un grupo musical.
Pienso lo mismo...
Chonkee pa more
What I am most impressed with is that you got one that works. I got one and it was dead on arrival, I think Jackson needs to work on their quality control. I retuned it for a refund and never got to play it. I really wanted to. It sounds good. But also maybe it was a good thing since the Beetronics SeaBee came out and I ordered one of those.
Sorry to hear about that. Haven't had any issues with mine. Faulty pedals happen for every company. It's more about how the service is handled. Jackson has great customer support. But I'm happy you ended up with another chorus pedal that inspires you to play. The SeaBee looks like a lot of fun 😊
That sounds freaky, but there is no Sound that I want to buy for that Price. Just a Tri-Chorus is enough, this is too much Gimmicks on top for me.
I see 'paid promotion', and I unsubscribe. I value honesty
What exactly does this mean?
I fail to see how being honest about whether the promotion is paid or not is dishonest.
Hey! So this is a really great subject. Thanks for bringing it up. Let's go through it.
1) I totally understand why the phrasing "Paid Promotion" rubs you the wrong way. It carries a lot of negative connotations for me as well, but in the way RUclips does it, it has become a catch all phrase. So the "Paid Promotion" pop-up refers to if the video contains any products, any products at all, that was given to me by companies. So this means, even if the pedal I'm playing is one I've bought myself, but the guitar I'm playing in the demo was sponsored, then I have to mark the video as containing "Paid Promotion" by law. I could of course make my own system where I explicitly explain what was given to me and what was not given to me in each and every single video, but that would take more time than actually making the demo itself, because my entire studio is full of a broad mix of products that was either given to me or that I acquired myself, hence I use this catch-all pop-up that RUclips have created. It saves me time.
2) RUclips is gonna be a rough landscape for you if you decide to see every single video that's marked as containing paid promotion as being dishonest. Because what about all the channels that don't mark their videos as sponsored or containing paid promotion, even if the products were given to them? Then it's probably more honest to be up front about it all. All of the major gear channels get gear sent to them, and also the majority of smaller channels do. Micro influencers are perhaps even more used by brands now than big influencer channels. But what brands "pay" us for, with either product and/or money is not for our opinion, but for our time, special skills and audience. Hence you'll always see me mentioning both pros and cons about a product in my final verdicts in the videos. No product is perfect, but most products are really good this day and age. But it shouldn't be neglected that it takes a lot of time and a lot of skill to produce videos like this, and that time spent away from family and friends shouldn't be free.
3) What connects the creators, the brands and the audience is one thing, and that's a passion for gear. We think it's fun. Spending hours and days making something I don't believe in would be the clearest definition of hell in my book, and would honestly be a waste of time for everyone involved. Me, the brand and you. So hence you can always expect that if a piece of gear appears on this channel, it's because I like it, and every other gear channel out there will tell you the same story. Time is the most precious resource we have, so I'm definitely not gonna spend that on anything that doesn't make me smile.
4) I'm of course really sad you've chosen to unsubscribe, but also a bit surprised that you haven't seen the paid promotion pop-up before now. I've marked every video with it for the last 3 years or so. When did you subscribe to my channel?
Jackson Audio did send me this pedal, but they haven't had any influence on what the video was gonna sound or look like, and they didn't have any say on my opinion of the pedal. Jackson Audio sent me this pedal because they like the way that I play and present stuff, and felt that I could give a unique spin on this pedal that other channels couldn't. No brand gets to see my demos before they launch on the channel, and no brand ever will. They should always experience them with new excitement and curiosity, just like the majority of my viewers hopefully do.
I hope this makes sense, and paints a better picture of what the much used and much debated "Paid Promotion" pop-up actually means, and what it means to me to be a content creator.
All the best
Stefan
@@thepedalzone You are a patient and wise man for taking the time to unpack all of that. For many of us, we likely "get it," but for any doubters out there, this should clear it all up!
Well, I think that about sums it up. How dare you try to make a living - of any kind - telling the truth and presenting it with skill😂. I think your Videos, even the shorts, are great as is your vibe. Have a Merry Christmas season, and I, for one, look forward to many more of your demos as I gain tremendous insight into the pedals you choose… And in the end, you do choose.😊

Hey man are you using any EQ or compressor pedals in your normal chain or are you mixing in your daw? Was curious about this to shape your over sound? I know this is a pedal channel but would always be nice how you clean up these sounds with your mixing. Thanks.
I mix in my daw. In this specific demo I did use a compressor pedal in the Baritone example, because I think it sounded nice. But yeah, other than that no significant tone sculpting other than that of the amp. In my daw I typically just add a low-pass and high-pass filter to take away frequencies that aren't necessary for the guitar and that will just create mud, and then I add in a very subtle comp on the master bus just to control peaks. Notch filters can be applied sometimes, if there's a build-up of unpleasant resonant frequencies, but I always keep the chain simple, transparent and true to what the gear sounds like.
