i’ve been waiting to see that jazzmaster make it into a video since you posted about it on instagram. absolutely insane finish, and the gold guard pairs so beautifully. and, of course, stellar playing as always
Dude, I may not be buying or really all that interested in the pedal and just watched anyway. I love your playing especially love the tones you got around 2:00-4:00 and like you said around 6:00 the Japan Fuzz sound is super great for the octave sounds. Really balanced (IMO) and sometimes bassy which is how I love fuzz. it has the ability to do the harsher fuzz sound as you shown in the initial control moving, but I love what you got here. Great demo and keep up the awesome videos you make.
Guys did our old pal Mike suddenly become like... a WAY better guitar player? These demo riffs absolutely SHRED. You're crushing it Mike! Amazing as always!
He's getting male order muscles. The problem is that clean sound doesn't remind you of anything. To you its just a sound but to the rest of us that sound is OLD. LIKE real old. What grind got to do with surf? What does surf mean to you? It's nothing like the beach boys. It sounds like digital surf squares.
Fantastic playing as usual Mike, I'm pretty sure you could plug into a potato and make it sound great. I'm actually a very recent new member of the Jazzmaster-owners club - I picked up a Sunburst AmPro II - and your videos have been invaluable. Will be swapping in some Novak pickups, hitting my rattly trem bar with a hammer and might just switch to a gold -anodized pickguard as well. Hope you're having a good one. 🖖
Considering surfy industries pride themselves on achieving classic tones from the 60s I would have been really interested in hearing how this pedal stacked up in that respect. Presuming that's what they had in mind when they created it.
Ps I just found a review by delicious audio that basically does just this and explains the harmonics function a little better. It's actually what I've been wanting from a fuzz for a long time
Just put an eq pedal in front of your most basic fuzz and you have all the fuzz pedals in the universe, and no need to confuse yourself with meaningless names on the knobs..
The only thing "surfy" about that is the name. Reminds me of a Big Muff I played through for a short while, so generally no thanks. Maybe for a specific sound a song requires. The mass control is not bass, but clearly low mid. The "harmonic" knob is a high cut knob. Enjoy, but I'll keep my NUX MG30. Lots of killer amp/cabs and distortion effects there.
Problem with skilled musicans is that they can make every pedal sound good. BTW this should be based on fuzzes used when surf was still a thing. So kinda fuzzrite, fuzztone, early tonebender and buzztone style of tone. Kinda before Fuzz Face and Big Muff era.
I was surprised to see you enjoying the harmonics control turned all the way up 😉 What a great pedal, sounds awesome! I always love it when you get a thick sounding fuzz that retains clarity and note definition.
that jazzmaster is something else🔥
I need it!! 😅😂😭

Mike is low key a riff lord
SERIOUSLY!!!

This is a great sounding pedal but that intro riff was amazing 💯♥
5:57. This riff is amazing. Great video Mike! I want this pedal now!
Love your stuff Mike. Nothing to say, just commenting for you-know-who
THAT FINISH IS BEAUTIFUL
I really loved the Japanese setting so so much
Very cool fuzz, nails that Stooges Funhouse howling roar
is your "IDLES" shirt in reference to the band?? if so, remember, "never fight a man with a perm". great video, awesome sounding pedal!
I see you there Star Trek micromachines!
Fuzz therapy for the soul. 🎶
So rad!!! I have a EH germanium 4 big muff pi. It has a volts knob sounds similar to the mass control. Surfy fuzz!!!! So dope!!!
SOLD, once i accrue more dosh. oddly good timing seeing how as my Behringer SF300 has been acting on the fritz as of late 🤔🤔
New sub here, Lyle at Psionic Audio is featuring your channel on his livestream today 🍀
Wow! I just heard about this and it blows my mind. Big fan of Lyle's videos! Thanks for subbing, too
I was like, eh, until you kicked in the octave

It's more!
That is one cool fuzz tool!!!
You have an almost Andy-esque ability to play to different pedals. So many crazy good riffs.
Any advice about adjusting string height on a squire 40th vintage JM? I can’t find any thanks
When you rolled the harmonics knob to 12 o'clock it sounded like the Sex Pistols.
Is there a way we can download your Helix Preset?
Danggggga bruh that is a nasty fuzz
That jm tho ❤❤❤❤
a ultimate offset guitar porn
Beefy sounds for a beefy boy!

Dope
You have to play in a band and make music!!!
😂😂😂
I sent a massage to the 60 Cycle Hum guy, asking him to do a proper demo......
Deep tissue or hot stone?
Just put an eq pedal in front of your most basic fuzz and you have all the fuzz pedals in the universe, and no need to confuse yourself with meaningless names on the knobs..
That is easily the WORST sounding box I have ever heard.....
Sounds like it's not working properly.
Amateurs.

The micro machines are cool too.
Nice pedal! Terrific review!! You rule.
Would definitely like to play this. Sounds interesting
Mike, your playing and sound here is just as amazing as I've come to expect. You're killing it, and thanks for adding to the legacy of the Jazzmaster!
No jazz going on here.
Move along folks.
Nothing worthwhile here.

Clicked mainly because I enjoy your playing, but okay the pedal kind of rocks, mostly for that mass knob.

Amazing playing! I like it. The Fuzzrite side is excellent. The Kay Fuzz tone side is ok. I think the Beetronics Octahive 2 does it better.
Thumbs up for the star trek space ship miniatures. I got the next gen enterprise and the bird of pray as a kid 😁😁😁👍
Y’all don’t even know about Garrett Immel and The Ghastly Ones?!
Whatever you played at the end felt so familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it...
Spectacular pedal and I adore your playing!
enclosure is way too small
I zoned out after 15 seconds..... worst product demonstration ever.
I think zoning out after 15 seconds is more of a hit on your goldfish attention span rather than the quality of the product demonstration.
Get checked for ADHD then nerd, Mike slaps.
pretty bold proclamation from someone who watched 3% of the video
So you decided to spend more time typing this comment than you did watching the video…. Okay then 🤡
Valuable comment.
