Thank you for diving into this pedal. I've been casually eyeing one of these for years, and your demonstration covered everything I wanted to know. Just ordered one. cheers.
Thanx for the demo. Your explanation of the control knobs finally enabled me to understand what the box can do. Loved your jam at the beginning too - very creative.
Great Review. You really covered all bases when it comes to this pedal. I own it myself and I thank you for the tonal inspiration I got here! Cheers! Another thing I like, is that you mix lead and rhythm playing fluently. Some gear reviews make it seem that guitar players only play lead guitar! Let's ask our band members to see if that's really the case ;-) Looking forward to more !
Great Video! I own the pedal and I love it. The only 2 things I wish could be modified is the overall volume is lower than my other pedals so, I have to use a boost to get the volume the same. And, I wish they would add the option to be able to have the gain and blend stages different per channel. I like using it with a blend at about 10 to 11 o'clock with low gain to add some nice texture to my cleans and distorted amp. But, if I want to switch to the fuzz with no blend I will have to set it manually before switching :/.
As a former owner of the jelly, these criticisms are accurate. Not enough volume on tap and the singular dry, ‘honey’, and volume knobs removes versatility. Incredible sounds, but it’s a crowded market and those things hold the pedal back.
@@alexwalker5645 I have not but I hear good things. Since my original comment I bought another royal jelly and the volume issue was fixed. If you want to give it a try, I recommend purchasing ones made within the last year or so.
This is the best video I've seen for this pedal, I'm struggling to find THE fuzz pedal, this one might be the one , that buzz sound is gross in the best kind of ways
This pedal has intrigued me since it came out. It sounds really great, and has a ton of really original features; however, I’m not sold on tying my Overdrive and Fuzz together? I would have to really play with this pedal for a while, but it feels like the shared EQ and “honey” would be a deal breaker? I often want my Fuzz to have a different amount of gain, and tone than my Overdrive. I also have yet seen a demo that explores how the guitar’s volume and tone controls effects the tone? I know there’s a lot to get through with this pedal, so it’s understandable that reviewers can’t go into everything. I would still love to try one! I would love to see how it reacts with my 5e3 clone? As cool as this pedal is, it’s hard to see as a good fit for me?
I think you hit the nail on the head here. It's impossible for any demo to really tell you if a pedal is a good fit for you, but hopefully you can make a more informed decision when buying. I would agree that the shared EQ and volume is a bit of a limitation with this pedal but there weren't too many occasions when I missed separate controls. I really see this pedal as the ultimate tool for a rhythm guitar player, I think the tones really lend themselves to that sort of playing and hard riffs. As far as using it with a 5e3... I have no way of knowing but I'd bet it'd sound killer.
The Warthog is actually the only Thorpy pedal I haven't tried! I'd love to though. My understanding is that the Warthog is sort of a high gain overdrive that gets into fuzzy territories. While the Royal Jelly is a blend of the two circuits. Slightly different approach to a similar outcome I suppose.
I would like to hear the pedal going direct into the amp with nothing else in-between...the raw pedal sound on its own. Cheers. Good review. BTW, I have just ordered this pedal, so I will find out for myself how it sounds without all the paraphernalia. 🤣😂😅😵💫

Hope you enjoy it!
That's probably the most badass intro song you've ever done the pedal sounds great too
Thanks man! I was really vibing with this one
This is my favorite demo Tube, I have a Cornerstone Gladio and some Alegree pickups because of this channel.
Awesome Joshua! Thank you so much
Great demo
Very nice job with that Jackson. Sounds like that would bee a keeper..... later
Loving the puns 😂
Nice demo! This pedal sounds and looks so awesome!
Thanks!

@@JacksonBrooksby You're welcome!!
Really like this guy, very informative and nice playing
Thanks Tony 🙌🏻
Thanks for the vid, great review! Tons of cool sounds but to me the bass track was particularly killer!
Thank you mate!
Another killer demo!! 🤘🏻
Thanks shawn!
Nice sounding pedal. Also, really like the pedal stand!
Check out Marcus D'luxe on Instagram for the stands!
Hivemind definitely has its advantages* 🤘🏽
*(also helps explain all the voices in my head)

Thank you so much dude! Appreciate it
I instantly thought this pedal looked like something out of BioShock.

Have it and love it too- same only gripe no volume on tap.
I agree with both of you. I wish we had an individual volume control for both sides

@@matthewcole6456 argh….I want a Beetronics….but the volume issue might toast it for me. Have you tried the Vezzpa? I need a fuzz!!! Haha

We need a complete guitar collection video:))
I've done one! Shouldn't have to scroll too far back on my feed
@@JacksonBrooksby aah, there we go. :)) im new to your channel. Great stuff!

What kind of guitars are you playing?

how do you like this vs the Thorpy Warthog, another pedal that combines overdrive and fuzz?
The Warthog is actually the only Thorpy pedal I haven't tried! I'd love to though. My understanding is that the Warthog is sort of a high gain overdrive that gets into fuzzy territories. While the Royal Jelly is a blend of the two circuits. Slightly different approach to a similar outcome I suppose.
@@JacksonBrooksby you’re a local boy. (As in the same country haha) go on and ask for one 😂👏🏼
Hahaha maybe I will!
