Finally a proper demo of this product. Looking forward to get mine for my JTM Studio 😊

Lead tone demo w/o lead guitar? You’re kidding, right?

Damn Dude I love that riff and that sound 🤟❤️‍🔥

I use a modeler with an expression pedal. I assign the pedal to a volume pedal and run the modeler through the FX loop. It works perfectly.

Can you still use the tone controls on the amp? Or just the presence and reverb?

Adam - Great explanation thank you for this!

Question, would my EHX linear power boost pedal do the same? How is it different? Thanks

FedEx man delivered mine today. I absolutely LOVE IT. • I dimed my Marshall DSL100H untra gain 1 and could turn the volume all the way off. As my ears could stand it I could crank it to where I was comfortable. • No buzzing or noise, perfect • High quality product with a high Ed pot Highly recommend running this in your fx loop. Do not hesitate to, it’s like $65 on zzounds or Sweetwater

On another video a guy used his EQ in the loop so I tried it. Worked like a charm. The only thing is you can’t go down to quiet, like your Marshall below 1. I took my DSL100H to 6 on Ultra Gain and with my EQ it lowered the volume to probably just below 2. I’m curious if you crank your big tube amp to say 5-7 or so, can you lower the volume to bedroom level? Wondering if this JHS box can lower my volume lower than my 7 band Boss EQ

I was looking at a more expensive attenuator and think I may go this way. JHS makes awesome quality products

Am I the only one that thinks the tone sounds different?😅

Haven't tried a JB8 yet but I've put an Alnico 8 in a Suhr Aldrich before which has a similar sound to the JB. I'd say this magnet has a lot of that "bark" sound in the midrange. In this video though I liked the mid presence of both the "5" magnets which no doubt cut through the mix. My experience with A2 is they're usually a bit flubby on the low end which you can't really hear in the riffs played, sounds good strumming though. I'd be interested to hear Alnico IV which are know to have a very flat EQ profile

So if your amp has a master volume is this pointless?

Sonic maxmizer is the💣..PLAY ON..🎸🔥😎

To add another one to muddy the waters some builders make jb clones with a short A5 which supposedly smooths out some of those harsh spikes.

A2 has zero bass?

A4 or A3 bar would have been a bonus...

Did the Alnico 8 clear up the muddy tone of the JB?

I was excited about this pedal and approach, but I noticed on the JHS website that they recommend for this to be the only pedal in the effects loop as it will alter the sound of other pedals in the loop. That’s a shame or at least worth considering if folks do run other pedals like reverbs or delays in the effects loop already

Thank you for the informative video ! In the end you mentioned that, it could be done with also an EQ pedal if there’s volume knob on it. I have a boss GE7 with the volume knob I believe I can do the same then ? :) thx

Thank you for making this video ! Liking the A2, maybe most particularly

Youve got incredible tone. Thats just the amp?! Wow

this is stupid video , I do not know what going on

Question for you (much later, of course): You made about each speaker and about which speaker you liked the most. How did you come to that conclusion? Were you listening to the speaker in the room or did you listen to the mic'ed sound before you came to those conclusions? I ask because I thought the G12h 30 sounded pretty good under the mic when I level-matched things. It's NOT the V30 (which always sounds good) but I thought it did great with the distorted tones (when level-matched against everything else). I'm looking for a complement to my V30s assortment (I have V30s from a late-90s Marshall 4x12 and from a 2001 Mesa 2x12) and I thought the G12h 30 sounded like it would be different but good on it's own. Just curious about your thoughts/methods! Especially with an open-back cab and a different goal in mind (I own/operate/engineer at a recording studio and it sounds like you're trying to have the most fun time you can jamming an amp) the results/impressions can be drastically different. Thanks for any insight you can lend (from a million years ago) and thanks for putting together this video!

its still too dark. maybe the antiquity version is the answer

Which is louder and greater output?

Changing magnets not only changes the magnetic field strength but it also can move the resonant peak due to slight inductance changes.

I have a production jb in a USA charvel so cal and an antiquity jb in an old Ibanez. The guitars are identical in construction and features, except for maple board on one and ebony on another, tone pot on the Ibanez, no tone on the Charvel. The antiquity JB wins, hands down. It has a beautiful smoothness in the midrange compared to the stock JB. The awesome crunch and midrange is still there but I don’t hear the honking, nasal quality to the mids. Harmonics are effortless with the antiquity. It just feels perfectly balanced and not as notchy or boxy as the production model. I was considering trying A2 in the stock one, I like A2. I rotate these guitars for gigs and home playing in different tunings, maybe to make them more identical, I’ll go rough cast 5 which the antiquity has. I use 500k pots in both, I tried a 250 in the Charvel but it was dark , boomy and not as open, even without a tone pot on that guitar. In this video, I liked A2 and roughcast 5 best. I liked stock better than 8 or ua5.

The JB in my LTD '87 Eclipse NT was borderline raspy and just needed the cheap factory "green chicklet" tone cap replaced with a Mojotone paper&oil of the same value. I chose the Seymour Duncan TB-14 in my HSS guitar and prefer an Orangedrop capacitor with that combo. Every guitar should have specific components that surpress unwanted frequencies and accentuate the ones you prefer. Why guitars don't have more options for the electronics you can get in each model is beyond me?

UOA5 almost sounds like the mic was not in the same position :/

e609 level is lower then other mics, not a fair comparison. But still useful if you adjust volume on the go...

Very cool

I have a TB-4 "J" wound by Maricela Juarez that came stock in my '94 ESP M-ll Deluxe. Best sounding JB I've ever owned. The harmonics just fall out of the guitar.

the jury is out on a8 for me

Mine isn’t working. Do you need to use a speaker cable or can you use a normal instrument cable

Do not use guitar instrument cables. Use speaker cables like the cables that go between amp and cabinet, straight to straight speaker cable.

When you turned the loop on around 7:55 in the video, the SPL didn't really change at all, did it? Am I missing something? Sorry if my question is stupid. I am so new to all this. Will my Marshall be more quiet if I buy this, but it will still sound like it does when cranked? It has 3 12AX7s and 2 EL34s. Can I have other FX pedals in the loop with this? Sorry for my dumb questions.

I have a Marshall Silver Jubilee with an FX Loop. I have a delay, reverb, and EQ pedal that I put in my loop. Where do I put this in the signal chain? Would I put it before the EQ (so, first in the loop), or after the delay (so, last in the loop)? Thanks!

Hey, I'd just like to give you some constructive feedback, if I may! You mentioned a few things quite a few times, such as the position of where you put the amp box and stuff like that - you could possibly get your video times lower with the same amount of helpfulness that you provided in this video (which was absolutely AWESOME). You might get more views like that! That being said, this was EXTREMELY thorough and helpful. Thanks so much!!!

I got back into magnet swapping after watching your video and I remember how I like all Duncans better with rough cast magnets. Stock modern SD magnets seem to be pretty strong. Alot of low end and kinda harsh highs. Rough casts usually fix that

Does it matter how you orient the unoriented magnet? Seems like there would be four ways to install it. Or does it get "deciphering" as to polarity and put in a certain direction?

I use a 2-channel Peavey Stereo Chorus 400 which only has an insert plug for each channel, OUT PRE/IN POWER AMP. There’s something in the manual about this single plug being a send/return loop with a TRS cable, where the tip is the pre out and the ring being the power amp in. Would you know if and how I can use this with my Peavey? Thanks

I like how you put the polished 5 in again as a reference. It almost sounds like mic placement was off on the UOA5 . Swapped that mag many times, including in a JB and I haven't heard that drastic of a difference. Which one did you end up choosing?

If you think about it you are overdriving your preamp while starving your power section. This may work for a high gain amp that gets its crunch from the pre amp. Kind of a trade off but if it works for you it's good.

I rarely ever play my archon 25 through the 1x12, I either play it through a Mesa Traditional 4x12 or a Mills Acoustics Afterburner 4x12. Sounds absolutely massive through either of those, both v30s. It has that mesa sound so v30s make sense to me. For a lot of stuff, I think it sounds better than my Rev G Dual Rec. Cool video. Soon I’ll be trying it through some 10” speakers

Ok, call me an idiot, but HOW do I connect this thing if I don't have a pedal board just a guitar going into the amp or what if I don't have an fx loop?

Dude ! Seymour Duncan parallel axis on a telecaster 🤘🔥🤘 love that pickup on my Jackson Brandon Ellis 👍 one of the best passive pickups IMO. Gotta pick up this JHS glorified volume pot ! Great video thanks

Total waste of money. Just send an output signal to your fridge and it will come back cooler than a 99 with flake.

Killer tones. I just discovered your channel when I was looking at swapping magnets in my pickups.
