Marshall JTM45 in a Box Shootout - Wampler Plexi Drive vs JHS Charlie Brown vs ZVex Box of Rock
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2018
- Seth compares three JTM45 inspired Marshall-in-a-box type distortion pedals: The Wampler Plexi Drive, The JHS Charlie Brown and the ZVex Box of Rock (not the box of rocks). For this shootout we used a Nash T72DLX, and a Victory V40 Deluxe.

The Plexi drive is designed to sound like a plexi, where the Charlie Brown is patterned after a JTM45, which most of these comparisons fail to mention. It's a much warmer and cleaner tone but people expect plexi so they're like well that doesn't get me a Marshall sound. I do think the plexi drive does a better job at what it's supposed to do (but it might be the best amp in the box pedal too) but the Charlie Brown is still a very good pedal in its own right.
Brian Wampler pedal here Sounds the Most Marshall-like to me.
The Plexi Drive and the Ramble FX Marvel Drive are my two favorite Marshall style OD boxes ever!
Due to all respect , I don't think you treated JHS fairly in this shootout. First comes first, this pedal is not aimed to sound like plexy but JTM. Second, if you want to mach really bright sound of Wampler why didn't turn highs and mids all the way up and turn bass off. Instead you kept them around noon and wondered why this JTM doesn't cuts like plexy.
I have the Box of Rock and couldn’t be happier, but the others sounds good too.
Brian Chaze how do you use the boost section of the pedal? Is it just a volume and 'sparkle' boost?
Sounds like there’s a moving blanket covering the mic or the cabinet. Where’s all the high end??? Sounds like everything over 2k was shelved off. Unfortunate sound on this vid :-(
is True...
It sounds like they had one mic in the room, possibly in the video camera, and it's picking up Seth's voice well, but not the amp. Easy to align multiple audio tracks in most movie editing software. The room does sound good having auditioned pedals in there.
That Wampler Plexi-Drive just has that Marshall GROWL… I don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad Wampler… they do pedals right… nice demo of all three! They each sound really good IMHO. But the Wampler just stands out above the other two.
Edit: I just subbed your channel… the advice you gave on boosting the mids is spot on. Too many really scoop out the mids way too harshly. I don’t know where that all started but it’s true that guitar is primarily a mid tone instrument and sounds best with a decent chunk of mids left in. Now obviously there is also “too much mids” as well where it starts to sound muddy, but I think you nailed the proper amount of mids in this vid. Well done mate!
Add: At the end where you sampled the two channels on the Box of Rock, that “cleaner overdrive” section (or boost, whichever it was) sounds like a tube screamer-ish type sound… man this is a tough call… all three sound great. I have to give it to Wampler Plexi for the overall win 🏆
You guys need to do more of these shootouts
Box of rock (with the boost always on) is my always on base tone, it's a great pedal. Got a KHDK ghoul screamer in front of it and they work great together.
Awesome, I love these shootouts you do. There’s no way for me to make a decision otherwise!
Wampler sounds best to me. Thanks for the demo.
I watched a ton of shoot outs today and I got to say yours was by far the best that I saw for the zvex. Well done. I've ordered a zvex pedal but now thanks to you I want the Wampler pedal also. See what you made me do.
I guess im randomly asking but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost the account password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Ezra Joe Instablaster =)
@Abram Rowan i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Abram Rowan it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
@Ezra Joe happy to help xD
They all sound great! I think I like the Charlie Brown the most though. Great vid!
TheGoldenChicken the Wampler is very low gain where as the plexi deluxe is great.
coffeewaldo yeah, the wampler sounds pretty good tho
Great demo! Got a plexi drive and zvex distortron on order.
The Plexi Drive is emulating a Plexi and the other two are going for the JTM45 sound which is not a plexi. The box of Rock sounds great, but has more hair than the JTM45 they are emulating probably did. That’s not bad though. The Charlie Brown is probably the most accurate of the JTM45 amp though, Blues Breaker Clapton, Angus Young, Hendrix. I prefer it and I can stack drive before it like you would with an amp to give it more if I need it. The Wampler is going more for like a Super Lead or JCM800. More like a Brown Sound/Van Halen thing. JHS’s Angry Charlie does the same and you probably could get them closer in sound if you used the Angry Charlie. I honestly always found the Box of Rock to be more like one of those amps versus the JTM45 despite them claiming that was the target myself. JTM nails that Bluesbreaker Clapton, Hendrix and AC/DC sound though I think. Plexi Drive for the more Van Halen stuff. Box of Rock is fantastic and has that amazing boost circuit. I just prefer to stack for it and enjoy the more tweakable eq of the JHS.
The Wampler plexi has barely any gain. Get the deluxe if you want gain. This one is nothing like the Angry Charlie which is high gain. This is the Charlie Brown. Medium gain. I don’t get your saying the plexi drive being anything close to a high gainer.
Very good review, thank you kind sir
Good playing man, for me the wampler sound best.the hot rod plexi is great also, it sounds a little fuller and more button compare to the other two but the wampler still stand up.
Is there a point to making different pedals sound alike? Better to find out what each pedal does best, no?
Zvex and Wampler sound great. I noticed JHS drive pedals sound with too cut highs and lows almost like tubescreamer.
Great vid!
Jetter Red Squared. The best. Helium Boost, Plexi, Dumble - all in one pedal.
It's the only one I've played that beat the Box of Rock as a Plexi/Boost dual pedal.
Tapestry Audio Fab Suisse will do AC/DC tones to perfection.
The Wampler is good, I like it.
Matt Gilbert really I sold my jetted it felt stiff.
@@coffeewaldo Maybe you needed to take it to a masseur?
@@coffeewaldo I like that "Never Mind The Bollocks" tone that the Jetter does with the Shift>Helium.
Those Jetter pedals like to be played LOUD. That's how Brad designed them. At lower volumes, they may sound a bit flat and "stiff".
The exception is his take on the Trainwreck amp - the Traindrive. I run mine with my Laney cub at very low volumes and it rips. I still use my BOR for Bluesbreaker type tones and the Jetter for cranked JCM800/Plexi/Dumble.
Hi, did you ever try a Marshall Gov´nor "Made in England"? For my taste the old, big, black Gov´nor is one of the best Marshalls in a box I ever played.
I've heard the Gov'nor is one of the best. Can we get that,.. here in the states?
Zvex box of rock
Nice test!
hi!
when you use this type of pedal, the equalization of the amplifier must be all to 0 for better?
I'll take your suggestions, Thanks.
zvex wins this one but the jhs would sound the best with other pedals
maestro el gordo!!!
BTW Bluesbraker is JTM45. It exists as 18 watt as well but BB is known from JTM-45 2x12 combo with Greenbacks. So......
The actual Bluesbreaker amp used on the album that gave the amp its name is believed to be the alnico speakers that originally came in the combo. The combo also had/has a tube tremolo circuit that effects the tone even when completely off. So it’s not exactly like a JTM-45. Very close though.
you test pedals playing only power chords,,,how about a solo on the high strings, how about double stops and other ways to play...I apreciate your dedication to make a video but it´s not the way I think
Wrong chords on Zep tune?
Don't want to get sued.
8:56 9:10 9:42
Alvas Music I m surprise to hear the plexi drive is more open than the others. charlie brown has too mids for me. what do you think about it?
@@Riccardoferriscuccimarra I didn't gel with the Charlie Brown. Too low-gain and I don't like the attack character. I love the Wampler Plexi-drive though.
W
the wampler sounds most like how i think a marshall sounds.
Its not even close
Frank Quinn ok old man
I run my Wampler INTO my plexi when I want drive and sustain. Totally a badass sounding pedal
Good demo but please , kill the reverb! It seems to be a common oversight on overdrive/distortion reviews. It detracts from the raw bite of a good rhythm guitar sound. Thanks
If you want make a comparaison of MIAB , start with solos, and then chords.
Meh
Charlie Brown ftw
Thanks...... now not buying any of them ! Just more distortion pedals to me.
For me they all sound the same...and there is too much reverb! Remember never, NEVER EVER play AC/DC using reverb!!!
AC/DC uses reverb in their recordings. It is natural reverb but it is reverb. Live they have a stadium for reverb. How is a player supposed to replicate it? Using the right reverb in the right amount is what is key.
The entire Back in Black album has reverb all over it, listen to the beginning of Shoot to Thrill... Plenty of reverb on that guitar.
It's pretty hard to avoid using ANY reverb. Asking a guitarist to not use reverb is kind of like asking a cook to not use salt and pepper. Having said that, AC/DC isn't surf music or post rock--you probably don't want to go nuts with the reverb.
No thanks... I will stick with my Xotic SL drive.
Did you eat all the pies? I can't find any pies :(
It takes a real badass to insult a guy over the internet for no reason. That's sociopath behavior from a person who is projecting their own personal shortcomings. Post a video of yourself reviewing a pedal and let the world judge you. See this guy has a pair, you don't. You're a piece of 🐈⬛💩 that hides behind a keyboard. Keep doing great things with your life beta, go ask your dads for some pie.
Dude, nearly 4 min of yapping in the beginning. Ain't nobody got time for that!
Becuase of you and your riff around 4:20 I spent the last 20 minutes with this video on pause and watching the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 opening on repeat.
Wampler more mid bump
If you're going to demo pedals, you need to get better audio equipment, or learn to e.q. your amp. You're making these pedals sounds horrible.
so much talking.......zzzzzz zzzzzzz zzzzzzzzz
Too much talking
