My pedal board has the SD-1 and the YJM 308 and the most significant different between them is when you do bends on the YJM308 it just wails. It makes vibrato sound a lot more dynamic as well. I haven't tried the Fender or MXR but if I can find one at a guitar store I'll definitely see if it's got the stuff.
Pedal looks excellent for what it is and worth it if you're a fan. Use it, if it works for you, great. If it doesn't, sell it. I like my yellow MXR dist+, with my SD-1 (any tube screamer copy will work) in front of it, going into a clean amp, and there's the tone.
As far as I know, Yngwie runs his Plexis on the bright channel, with all knobs on 10, except bass which is on zero. I believe he ran the DOD250 with both knobs on max. The DOD250 has rather low gain, so with the low-output pickups, the tone is cleaner than you might expect. In addition, Ynwie has an extremely light touch on the strings. Playing at extremely high volume provides the sustain. My favorite part of Yngwie's tone is in the rhythm tone. The riffs have so much attack and character, far away from dull modern high-gain amps with sterile high-output humbuckers. To get closer to Yngwie tone with this pedal, I'd try Level all the way up and Gain rather low, having it push a cranked Plexi style amp (or simulation). Saw him live this summer. The tone's still there, but that part about good songs - no more. He played just fragments of songs followed by endless solos.
Yng recently said he uses "Nuclear" levels of distortion, so I think this should certainly get you into that territory in front of a cranked amplifier. At that point, a noise gate is perhaps mandatory ^^
Awesome demo! I’ve been trying to run this with my Victory Kraken V4 amp and it’s only useable when I have the gain super low on channel 1 as you demonstrated with the Plex. Definitely not a boost to tighten up a distorted high gain amp imo. Cheers!
“One trick pony” nails it! I bought this pedal because I have always liked YJM tones. I do not want to get his exact tone. I am excited to get the pedal (back ordered). I wasn’t fast enough to get it 🤦🏻♂️ . I am not a YJM shredder, this pedal should get me what I want.
I bought a red to play and a yellow to keep as a collection thing to go on the wall with my DOD YJM308 and YJM Strat. Sounds great, but definitely 100% needs a noise gate, as the circuit is still, in 2024, EXTREMELY noisy
I loved the history lesson! :'D Yngwie Jeremey Malmsteen XD. The Plexi is most of the sound, the pedal is an amp enhancer to me like an SD-1. Damn that Lion seems great for recordings especically as came from the friedman before...
So to make my macmull sound like that I need the pedal and a Justin. It does do the Yngwie thing. Needs more Planken. Also sounds like you need to do an alternative history of music video series. It would be BS, but funny.
I think you did it wrong. 1st You need to push Gain and Level to max on the pedal then try adjust the amps. This pedals screams but they start cut this annoyin bas after 90% on settings. The best would be to Get Pedal+ Noise gate and then try. 16:27 You almost got there. Can you try make a short later with Lion and MXR maxed out?
The Swedish guitar wizard said he was approached about replacing the band's founding guitarist, Ace Frehley, in 1982, but confusion over Malmsteen's height may have contributed to him not being offered the position.
Why you acting like you haven't said his name before ir talked about him His name isn't new to you've talked about him before when you had his fender overdrive pedal dude drop the act
An der Technik müssen wir Morgen nochmal arbeiten für einen wärmeren Malmsteen Ton, Justin ;-) Das J steht für Jaschik ;-) Das Pedal passt nicht gut zu meinem Blackstar Übungscombo und klingt dann noch am besten über den cleanen Kanal mit weniger Gain am Amp als auch am Pedal. Könnte es auch zurückschicken und dann weniger für den Nano Cortex bezahlen.
I hate when they do these limited runs of pedals, people buy them for the wrong reason and price gouge them. I wish I could've afford this one, I bought The Randy Rhoads version with the intention of giving it away to one of my viewers knowing they were going to be on Reverb for $499-$799 U.S. I had wish I bought 2 of the Randy's so I could have one.
The J is a pisstake of americans who add a middle initial to their name. Like Homer J Simpson. It does stand for Johan in this case but it’s not as if without it he’d be confused for all the other Yngwie Malmsteens running around.
Oh, growing up in the 80s as a guitar player, and listening to heavy metal and classical music, Malmsteen was unique and fabulous. The opposite of what I saw when watching a live concert. One of the worst performances, music-wise, I ever watched. Wanking at the speed of light. What really annoyed me then was that Malmsteen has songs - because he wrote songs with great (GREAT!) singers. Cheers!
There's no need to add your dislike of possibly the best player of all time as per some of his peers. He seems quite nice compared to your favorite basketball players that are constantly shoved down our throats by youtube and corporate brand.
No pedal makes anybody play like Malmsteen. Quite apart from the question, why anybody wants to sound like him. He may be technically good, but musically he has not anything serious or new to tell since years. But admitted, brainwashed fans are a different league....
@@dm8579 The "good tone", he maybe once had, was copied from Blackmore, so obviously people love copies from copies. But nothing unique evere followed. At least not for me.
A legend tells that when Yngwie tried a cheap multieffect which had a bad latency, he could play an arpeggio and throw his Strat around his back before the sound even came out of that multieffect's output. 🥸
Before I bought this pedal I could barely play, but NOW!!... I can shred Paganini's suites with ease!
Lol
Yngwie has used a DOD 250 since the early days and this is a version of that. The MXR Distortion Plus is very similar.
Yngwie Malmsteen is a LEGEND!!! 40 plus YEAR career!!!
Für mehr Justin auf diesem Kanal!

Yngwie Jehova Malmsteen it was the best thing I've heard for a long time...very funny,,Justin Hombach he could play a little too, like Jehova !
Tye-dyeish lama unicorn shirt w/ mirrored pilot sunglasses is next level! 🔥
It's a DOD 250. The DOD 250 and the MXR Distortion Plus are identical circuits.
5:30 ty for the history lesson 🤣✌️
Heeeyyy that's Justin! What a nice surprise! 🤘
Do you prefer this or the actual yellow dod 250? Which one is smoother, easier to shred? 🤔

Malmsteen has the boss noise gate on board
@arnyarny77 that's what i use, too.
My fingers get so self conscious when I listen to Justin shred.
It reminds me of my MXR distortion +?
Malmsteen's signature pedal is and always was derived from the Distortion Plus.
No, it’s based on a DOD. The 250 if memory serves
@@MisterTeeyes, you are correct
@@MisterTee The DOD 250 and MXR Dist + are almost identical and were developed approximately at the same time.
So how about a review of the Amplified Nation Bombshell. I did not see it on your rack when you did the Enigmatic review.
Nice G.O.A.T. there at the end. 😉👍
In the beginning of the video i thougt Justin should Demo the Pedal.... And you invited him... Great 👍🤘🎸
8:11 Bit of a Bromance going on there! Who knew 🤣🤣🤣
I loved the history lesson! :'D Yngwie Jeremey Malmsteen XD. The Plexi is most of the sound, the pedal is an amp enhancer to me like an SD-1. Damn that Lion seems great for recordings especically as came from the friedman before...
"It has 2 knobs, I don't know why you're watching this" 😅that is exactly why we're watching this
I listened to one of his albums in the early 90s. That was enough.
So is this just a reboxed fender malmsteen overdrive?
So to make my macmull sound like that I need the pedal and a Justin. It does do the Yngwie thing. Needs more Planken. Also sounds like you need to do an alternative history of music video series. It would be BS, but funny.
And how do you become as famous as Yngwie?
@2:46 Quentin James called.
It does sound like proper 💪
I think you did it wrong. 1st You need to push Gain and Level to max on the pedal then try adjust the amps. This pedals screams but they start cut this annoyin bas after 90% on settings.
The best would be to Get Pedal+ Noise gate and then try. 16:27 You almost got there.
Can you try make a short later with Lion and MXR maxed out?
I think jhs overdrive is the rendition of the original grey pedal
That pedal should have two knobs, Gain and More Gain.
The Swedish guitar wizard said he was approached about replacing the band's founding guitarist, Ace Frehley, in 1982, but confusion over Malmsteen's height may have contributed to him not being offered the position.
really?
@@EytschPi42 Yeh, really. Check the line-ups of Kiss. He was never there, because they didn't want him.
@ that was a joke!
Why you acting like you haven't said his name before ir talked about him His name isn't new to you've talked about him before when you had his fender overdrive pedal dude drop the act

Yingyang Milkshake, as Ben Eller says. 😆
my TS-808 is doing donuts around this Mxr … wait no … that’s the other way around 🍩
It's got Two knobs...😱does it come with manual 🤔
"No DONUTS!!!" - there we both said the word
How to sound like Yngwie, Ritchie or Jim?? Go and practice....😂
The gates of Hell !!!!
Wow Malmsteen got a new pedal Coolio I guess you don't know who he is in Germany
What i sort of understand but don't really get is why so many people want to sound like someome else . If you're in a cover band. i guess.
No pedal on this planet will make you sound like Yngwie ... 😅
HE SAID JEHOVAH!
he did
"Are there any woman here...??"
I hate when they do these limited runs of pedals, people buy them for the wrong reason and price gouge them.

Malmsteenian......omg,🤓🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Step aside.
David Gilmore gets to the point with only a couple notes
it sounds terrible, i think the reason why is, there is no delay and reverb, malmsteen never plays without them
No pedal will make you sound like Yngwie. You have to be able to play at the same level and that is a problem for most guitar players.
There's no need to add your dislike of possibly the best player of all time as per some of his peers.
He seems quite nice compared to your favorite basketball players that are constantly shoved down our throats by youtube and corporate brand.
Never doubted his playing ability… only his character
I am sure you are getting a Ferrari from the man himself for that ego boosting praise...... Ferrari sticker 😅😂
Nft 🙂
YOU FOOLS! Everyone knows it’s Yngwie Jessica Malmsteen.
Aaaahhhhh
Please not like my ex wife :D :D
Lars Lannerback
It shows how caricatural and rediculous is that kind of playing.
No pedal makes anybody play like Malmsteen. Quite apart from the question, why anybody wants to sound like him. He may be technically good, but musically he has not anything serious or new to tell since years.
But admitted, brainwashed fans are a different league....
Once upon a time, Yngwie had a good tone so I can easily understand why people want to sound like him.
@@dm8579 The "good tone", he maybe once had, was copied from Blackmore, so obviously people love copies from copies. But nothing unique evere followed. At least not for me.
Yeah, nothing like all these innovative blues dudes...
