    Welcome to ProGuitarShop and ToneReport.com, today we're plugging into the Shin-Juku Drive from MXR. Shin Suzuki of Shin's Music in Japan is the country's foremost amp and pedal technician, and nobody knows the D-style amp quite like him. He brings this knowledge stateside, and the Shin-Juku Drive is a collaboration between the man himself and the engineers of MXR. The result is an extremely touch-sensitive and dynamic amp-like drive that brings as much versatility to the table as the amp it's modeled after. Between its three knobs, you have access to humble, lucid clean tones, all the way through amp-rumbling sustain-heavy crunch. This variance is given with a simple twist of the Gain knob, and when combined with your guitar's volume knob, the possibilities are near-endless. As you might expect, the Shin-Juku stacks with other pedals like a champ, and placing it either before or after your existing drive section will lend some extra hair to your tone. The Dark switch reconfigures the gain structure of the Shin-Juku to a mellower, more blues-ready drive tone with a smokier character. Higher gain Dark settings add extra tube-like sag and compression like a cranked amp. And just like all MXR pedals, the Shin-Juku Drive is precision engineered and manufactured made right here in the States.

    @kannonmcafee Před 7 lety +11

    I think it may be the best tubes pedal. I've heard. "Smoky character", that's it exactly. It cuts the jangle, and veers towards fuzz. Perfect.

  • @evanskopp8477

    Sweet-sounding overdrive, for sure.

    Sounds nothing like you'd expect a D style pedal to sound...turns out thats a good thing. Really nice textures on this thing. Killa chops as always, Andy!

    I love watching your videos Andy, up until I realize that no matter how many of these pedals I buy, I will never be able to shred and jam like you. Andy make a band, make an album and tour so I can watch play live. Oh and you'll have to come to Utah. I know I know....

    KINDA LOOKS LIKE THE MXR GT-OD, I WISH I COULD FIND ONE IN A STORE TO CHECK IT OUT CAUSE THE GT-OD WAS ONE OF THE BEST OD'S I EVER HEARD BUT IT WAS THE ONLY 1 IN THE STORE AND THE GUY PLAYING IT ENDED UP BUYING IT

    Is that a Standard ? And what does Gibson name that specific colour / finish ?

    • @ChClem
      @ChClem Před 6 lety +2

      Yep, they make solid stuff. Few knobs, but I like my pedals like my amps: quick to dial and with personality. My pedalboard is mostly MRX plugged into an Orange amp. The rest, you do with your fingers ;-)

    • @PeterJaquesMusic

      carbon copy delay! literally the only pedal i use *every time*

    • @jordandangelo180
      @jordandangelo180 Před 4 lety +1

      MXR makes countless amazing pedals. Super solid brand. Check out the Super Badass Distortion and you will not be disappointed. And it’s only $99. Eric Gales uses it as well if of other mistaken. He also used the MXR Bass Envelope Filter. The Blue Box is awesome too. So is their Uni-Vibe.

  • @robertironside290
    @robertironside290 Před 7 lety +1

    Be better if the "Dark" button were a tap on switch on the bottom corner. Get that "Free" sound throat to the sound here as well. Which was the Green axe a Suhr? Kind of like it without the Dark down. Cool pedal though for sure. Like that sound with the gain about half way... maybe 11 O'Clock. Nice boxy but jangle in there too. Under 200 for a change too lol

    but it does sound good

  • @roncarter2188
    @roncarter2188 Před 7 lety +3

    I have some really good overdrive pedals and I still keep going back to old faithful, better than my OCD pedal and my ts9 mij tube screamer pedal, it's a Beringer Tube Monster VT999, blows them all away hands down. Way underated, try one and you will be wanting one.

    Everytime I wonder how you can play with so much attack with your thumb. Amazing playing, thanks for the demo!

    • @kodykindhart8230
      @kodykindhart8230 Před 3 lety

      Pretty sure it’s the opposite he plays with less attack on the fingers and says is in the pot if you got an 80s settings with the pic it will probably sound like trash

    • @kodykindhart8230
      @kodykindhart8230 Před 3 lety

      He’s probably set much different on the amp than you would with a pick...playing with more dynamic

    • @eyesintheskies

      Fingernails ain’t to different t picks i gots talons! Still can’t play like this mind.

  • @insystem7
    @insystem7 Před 7 lety

    I just watch these videos to see you play. But I did like the pedal this time, I think just once before I saw one that interested me, the rest just sounds like any other pedal. To be fair, the standards are set, and sound technology isn't exactly taking huge leaps so it's understandable that there aren't hundreds of completely unique sounding pedals.

  • @GiJofus
    @GiJofus Před 7 lety

    Intro jam sounds a bit like 'Ashita Tenki Ni Naare' by Happy End. Keeping with the Japanese influence?

  • @sparkimoto
    @sparkimoto Před 7 lety

    After spending 1/4 of my life reviewing pedals ( Okay I overstated a bit ) It seems there are more varieties/brands of drive pedals than there are guitar players. Something about this one sets it apart from the rest. What that is I don't know but it sounds unique, in a good way.

    • @ProGuitarShopDemos
      @ProGuitarShopDemos  Před 7 lety +1

      Excellent point! There is something very unique about this one.

  • @user-dc5rg9mn1p
    @user-dc5rg9mn1p Před 7 lety +5

    Nice demo, nice playing, and nice sounding pedal as per usual, but I gotta say that all these overdrive pedals are starting to sound the same to me...
    Personally, I'm not hearing anything different or new here. Don't they all seem to be "touch-sensitive", "amp-like", and "clean-up nicely with your volume control"?

    • @jcows12
      @jcows12 Před 7 lety +4

      yes its very true. I build clones and have done probably 40 or so different overdrive pedals and they typically sound a little different but only to a "trained ear" my wife couldnt care less lol. the feel is what sets good from great.

  • @dcp10200
    @dcp10200 Před 7 lety

    Would this work as a tube screamer alternative to boost an already overdriven amp?

    • @harrysouter2304
      @harrysouter2304 Před 7 lety +1

      I would suggest getting a more tube screamery pedal if you just want it for that , but you can certainly use it as a boost and a touch of gain

    • @dcp10200
      @dcp10200 Před 7 lety

      Harry Souter Thanks, I was thinking this pedal would help something like an amp that really needs something to smooth it out but still have that gain sound.

  • @McLguitars
    @McLguitars Před 7 lety +8

    I've never heard a Dumble sound anything like this lol

    • @grant5603
      @grant5603 Před 7 lety +1

      Yeah it really doesn't represent that sound at all. Much closer to a tubescreamer

    • @kingstumble
      @kingstumble Před 7 lety +3

      Ever played a Dumble? No me neither but I do have a Zendrive which Robben Ford says gets him very close to his Dumble.This sounds very similar,a bit darker maybe. Tubescreamer it definitely ain't!

  • @dinein1970
    @dinein1970 Před 5 lety +1

    I just got a MXR Shin-Juku and sent it back. The TONE knob was feeding back something awful and confirmed by the shop I got it from. Expected far better from MXR

    • @nicks4802
      @nicks4802 Před 5 lety

      Save your money and get a bheringer VT-900.
      The thing is massive but gets you this tone, with controls for master volume, gain, and a 3 band eq.
      And there's a preamp tube in it.... Running at 9v, but nonetheless there is a tube you can swap out for different tones.

  • @rafsbio
    @rafsbio Před 7 lety +65

    Every time the expression "amp-like" is used for a pedal, one of those magic tube-shaped elves that live inside real amps dies. Think about the little ones, guys!

    • @PANICBLADE
      @PANICBLADE Před 7 lety +2

      Rafael Andrade Like I get it if it's a DI pedal/preamp or something that is MEANT to sort of bypass the need for an amp, but for overdrives? It's ridiculous. I HAVE an amp, it doesn't need to be more of an amp, gimmie the tone variety. "Amp-like" says nothing about a pedal.

  • @ronnieo.6647
    @ronnieo.6647 Před 7 lety

    Andy it always sounds to my ear that you use a lot of mids. What are your settings? I play a les Paul through a Mesa express 550 + 112 and it seems that I just can't get it right.

    • @cosmokramer4703

      awwwyeaboyeeee The funny thing is, I hear CZcamsrs (and only CZcamsrs) talk about the "D" sound, and they also say no 2 "D" amps sounded alike... so there is that. It's all cork-sniffery at this point.
