    The cleans sound freaking fantastic; completely sold me on this pedal as a fairly low-cost pre-amp solution.
    ...but God DAMMIT, do I hate saturated vocals! It always sounds really freaking cheap to me; like some kid shouting over his Xbox Live headset about how he fucked my mum last night.

  • @skyshaver6622

    Bone to pick, every time they engage the pedal they start with the HPF frequency up and then lower it. So, for a moment everything sounds super thin and then it suddenly swells into life as you lower the f of the HPF. Colors the comparison a fair bit.

    • @foogentog
      @foogentog Před 8 lety

      Yeah I was thinking that the whole time. Wish they would have turned the pedal on and off a bunch of times while making different adjustments

    Best music in a review to date. Holy shit…pedal is great too 😂

  • @pepeeze
    @pepeeze Před 9 lety +15

    Is this SM7B plugged straight in the pedal or is there additional pre-amplifiing?

    • @ReddenDoom
      @ReddenDoom Před 7 lety +2

      A great question, I'm thinking, since they run it bypassed, that they've got this being pre-amped elsewhere and the box is running like an effect in between. Maybe it can act as a bit of a cloud lifter with color options. Its had real mixed reviews, I used to be dead set on getting this with an SM7b but tech changes have altered everything now. You can get a real 1073 pre for the price of this thing, its a really hard buy. The EQ is a real benefit, especially for the SM7b, but its hard to pull the trigger on.

  • @rejuvenator8966
    @rejuvenator8966 Před 2 lety +1

    How did you connect the reverb tank? Is there an effects loop in this or how you did that? How was it only active when the colour box was active (with footswitch)?

  • @brooklynboy1000
    @brooklynboy1000 Před rokem +1

    Why would you put bass on the right?

    • @ElCapitanGames
      @ElCapitanGames Před 3 lety

      Maybe because the eq in the voice is mid. It’s more clean for the layman to listen to if the bass isn’t in both cups.

  • @000AllLitUp000
    @000AllLitUp000 Před rokem

    What was the signal chain for the clean with reverb tank, Sm7b into the colour box, 1/4 out into the fender? Then into an interface, with a parallel xlr from the colour box without verb?

  • @ReddenDoom
    @ReddenDoom Před 7 lety +5

    Well it sounds great but I can buy a real Warm Audio Preamp for this price! Why is everything JHS so expensive? Would this really be worth it over an actual entry level pro preamp? I'd love to see a WA12 and a Golden Age Pre-73 (Mark I-III) go against this. All are about the same price.

    • @nandoblondemobydick5438
      @nandoblondemobydick5438 Před 7 lety +2

      it is cause the Lundahl transformer, that´s a very costly transformer, i own this box and it sound awesome. either it is easy to pass to a bad territory with the seetings

  • @larrysentelle1244

    An SM7B using a mic pre which only provides 39db gain? Was there a second gain stage in the vocal chain? We're ordering one of these boxes. Love what it sounds like on a drum buss. Neve consoles used Carnhill transformers, not Lundahl but, anybody with even a little bit of experience should understand, you cannot put a Neve console into a stomp box, the implication is a bit insane.Want Neve? Buy Neve. The Color Box is an awesome creative tool though, it's much more than simply a high-dollar fuzz box but, we'll stick with our BAE 1023's when, we want Neve type sound. Great box, love it JHS.

      Yeah... Once I saw prices on these... :(( But do you know what keyboards have similar sounds? I mean I can't really explain. It's the specific Tone almost belllike when you roll-off a tone knob on guitar. Almost like lo-fi ring. If you know what I'm saying.
