Seems like a lot of variation is possible given the chosen clipping diodes.I've tried a number of TB's, including the CB Naga Viper( Silicon, very gainy and not useful for non Hard Rock), the EQD Bows( Germanium with awesome sound, but very noisy) ,and the Throback Strange Master( NOS Ge, solidly balanced with good range) . I'm curious about the NKT Ge version of the Beano, as it seems to get much fuzzier and gainy than any of the other Ge's I've tried, with a fuller gain range ,- almost into a Silicon territory. What was outstanding about the Bows was that it provided serious twang and note definition without the gain; that's what I'm looking for. This almost sounds like it's running through a Fuzz Face as well as TB on higher settings.I'm thinking it must be a " hot" clipping diode? I've actually got a Janglebox Compressor that has a high mode , and this does a pretty good TB approximation, that Voxy, Rickenbacher type of jangle, twang , and presence.
This pedal also responds beautifully to rolling back the guitar volume. So can definitely have a lovely glassy twang with a strat for example when doing this.
Treble boosters can seem that way. I think your comment is an interesting point in the way different people enjoy different tones too though. Others have commented that they like the way it sounds:) no right or wrong btw:)
@@samgoffenguitar yep, horses for courses. I own a cmc effects naga viper clone and I run it into a higher gain jam tubedreamer pedal, my head is a handwired 6L6 wampler bravado pedal platform and the tone is massive.
Hey:) the pedal is top quality, as good as it gets. There will always be a little noise depending on your set up, guitar etc. if you have any noise at all and then boost the signal, then it will get louder. But, this doesn’t introduce any noise itself in my experience:)
Thx for the comment. Many people like the simple approach. I keep things simple on purpose so you can easily hear any difference in sound. There is thought behind the vid.
Enjoyed this video, thanks
Awesome thanks so much for commenting 🙏
I thought for sure I was going to get a prince of tone....omg this is the analog man pedal under the radar for sure....like speechless
Hehe! I know right! This thing is fantastic. Treble boosters are just underrated and we tend to always think of overdrives. Glad the vid was useful:)
Beano is way better.
It’s pretty awesome:)
Well done
Thank you. Hope it was useful :) 🙏
Looks like a great pedal! Already subbed by the way.. full watch on the video
It’s a pretty pretty thing 😍I subbed you too dude. Thx for watching!
I have one.sounds great, “amp taste”
Thx for the comment! Yes, they are awesome. How do you place yours? Before a drive, straight into the amp?
@@samgoffenguitar Before a drive or distirtion
@@allahblesswinniehomo7789 same here. Great sound. Thx for letting us know:)

ooooof that is really harsh sounding

@@heavymetal6910 nice. I do love the jam pedals stuff. Very cool:)
Any hiss or noise?

85% of this video is the same 3 open chords. Not very useful

@@samgoffenguitar prefer this method of testng all the settings that mindless noodling on one setting
@@Mr.Steve-O thx bro. Glad it makes sense and hope it was helpful:)
Much prefer the open chord as opposed to mindless noodling. Allows the sound to be felt and ring out properly.
