    Great playing captain!!! Loved that strat tone. Awesome little blind test. Great video. Cheers from California.

    Huge fan of all videos and music and everything you guys do. Love that its just guitars so nothing steals from the products you are presenting but ever thought about having drums and bass maybe. Especially amp demos to demonstrate giggability (made that word up). Keep up the great work guys and Chappers keep on shredding!

    • @trollfiddler

      They have a bass channel and a drum channel, or they did last time I felt perverted enough to look.

    Having owned a BB for 10 years. Its my favorite OD Pedal, its got a tightness with a bit of crunch in the bottom end that can be slightly drive to heavily driven and always sounds good. One of those pedals I can stack and play metal or use slightly driven for bluesy rock stuff. I’d never get rid of that pedal.

    Great demo guys. I own the @pedal and use a voltage doubler to use it at 18 volts and it totally opens up the sound as it is also recommended by JHS.

    Great playing as always. It did sound a bit like the Friedman amp wasn’t overly happy with this setup though. Sounded a bit like it was caving in on itself when the pedals were switched in.

  • @andreweasombentley4703
    @andreweasombentley4703 6 лет назад +5

    When comparing the two AT's it's worth noting that the components selected will most likely have a 10 or even 20% tolerance on their values so it's totally normal that two 'identical' pedals will sound subtly different. I'd be willing to bet that the circuit is exactly the same. Brian Wampler discusses this quite a bit on his channel

    @stevenmiller9773 6 лет назад +5

    The BB is a great clean boost. Turn the drive all the way down, and volume to taste, eq to taste. It will give your cleans much more sparkle and depth, and really drive the dirt channel.
    Add a little gain and volume to really drive a dirty channel.

  • @conradovai
    @conradovai 6 лет назад +21

    Andy Timmons does not stack the two pedals, he uses the Bb preamp to boost the dirty channel of his Lonestar, and also to boost the clean channel for a light gain. But never together. Most of the time when he plays dirty he uses his AT pedal. For less gainy Marshall sounds he uses a Keely blues driver and his guitar volume knob. Cheers 🤓

    • @pilotamurorei
      @pilotamurorei 5 лет назад +3

      he also has a Mesa 5 band eq that he uses for extra sustain as well. I literally just saw his pedal board two days ago and he's got a LOT of stuff on there:
      JHS AT (original)
      JHS The AT +
      Keeley Blues driver
      TS808 (old one, not the reissue)
      BB Preamp AT (reissue version)
      Mesa 5 band eq
      and thats just the drive pedals.

  • @YamilaOrrego
    @YamilaOrrego 6 лет назад +8

    The BB preamp is superior in my opinion. However, you really need a Mesa Boogie Lonestar to get it to shine. 6L6 exclusive!

  • @denismguitar1552
    @denismguitar1552 6 лет назад +11

    Lonestar clean channel boosted mostly is where he shines. Keeley blues driver always on I believe. But Andy uses melodic playing and far less notes to communicate the story, and adds tasty flourishes on top. The Freidman sounded bad to me. Fizzy. Very “not Timmons”. Both very good pedals though. Chappers you are a crazy talented picker. But too many notes for my simple brain. Love how you debunked the difference in the two JHS pedals Capt!

    • @8sigreg
      @8sigreg 4 года назад

      DenisMguitar A Lonestar has some serious tone juju all on it’s own; Pushing the clean channel on a Lonestar gets a great sound, but it’s very different than a Friedman, which, in this demo just doesn’t sound good.

  • @lance134679
    @lance134679 6 лет назад

    It seems you have the two guitar amps panned at bit. I would notice the stereo field shifting a bit depending on the setting of the pedals. Nice pedals, btw.

    How much does the lack of a Mid tone control matter compared to the newer Angry Charlie which has 3 band tone? Just debating between buying an Angry Charlie or an AT+ and the Mid control seems like something worth having.

  • @jcou1138028
    @jcou1138028 6 лет назад

    PLEASE try the pedals direct to an IR .... no AMP , im very curious about it ..... because as far as i now JHS AT and BB preamp both are amp based , so , they should work as an "amp" if connected directly to IR (maybe a virtual power amp too, as featured in Wall of sound from Two Notes)

    What fender amp was used at the outro with? That sound is awesome, I have a BB and would love to emulate that tone for sure.

  • @Zakbass84
    @Zakbass84 6 лет назад

    The difference between the two JHS pedals is most likely just the normal variance between two pedals. I used to build effects pedals, and in testing 100 of them back to back each one would sound slightly different from the next.

    • @spike_4174
      @spike_4174 6 лет назад +8

      Yup. The base tone sounded pretty poor at the start of the chain. Clarity is poor, sounds thin at the same time of trying to push out low end and farting out and then clipping. Adding pedals made it worse.

    • @mrc2662
      @mrc2662 6 лет назад +5

      Yaroslava Nedoskazova piss off mate. This is a guitar channel. Hype your token elsewhere (and run the risk of it being a security not a utility)

    • @coffeewaldo
      @coffeewaldo 6 лет назад +4

      dimmank agreed. The AT is one of the best distortion pedals around. The AT plus sounds kind’ve the same to me. But here it sounds horrible. Just like the atomic amplifier that sounds pretty great in person. But has made a few bad appearances here. FYI to compare a high gain pedal to the B.B. which is very low gain overdrive? Strange comparisons, 2 different types of pedals.

    • @JackBealeGuitar
      @JackBealeGuitar 6 лет назад +5

      Yes, I'm not usually "that guy" with supposedly golden ears who moans about toanz, but that freidman amp sounded like gash I thought. Normally this channel sounds much better. I know the pedals sound better than this in real life

  • @thehound2161
    @thehound2161 4 года назад

    The addition of the mid tone control has made the JHS pedal better in terms of getting tones that are very different and dialed in, fast. The JHS Angry Charlie/AT is the finest single sided drive pedal available... We have to leave Analogman off the board. Just too good and oddly available price and wait time included.
