    Both pedals rock!!! i could never understand why people look for "marshall in a box" and pay 200 bucks for boutique pedals like , wampler plextortion, pinnacle, Carl martin plexitone and so on , MI audiocrunchbox (100 bucks) when you can have above mentioned marshall pedals for 60 bucks and have great tone!!!!
    i had both pedals. now i own jackhammer and original shredmaster. Just wanted to say that Jackhammer's DS mode sounds exactly like Shredmaster.

      Same thing here with the Jackhammer, way underrated. Needs some time to fiddle with the mid controls, and the OD side is much better than the Dist. Once you find the right setting for your gear, though, it's amazing

    Both of these pedals sound killer. That Jackhammer has BALLS. I'd use the Guv'nor for 60s style tones and Zep tones, and the Jackhammer for 70s-80s tones and DEFINITELY for that ballsy, AC/DC sound where you can hear the amp cab pumping.

  • @sgredllama
    @sgredllama Před 13 lety +1

    A Tele sounds great thru a Jackhammer. Using a Fender Lite Ash with stock pickups thru one into a Blues Deluxe. Pedal OD is at 12:00 and I leave it on all the time. One thing that these reviews don't show is that the pedal is touch sensitive. Set the guitar volume a little above 3/4, lighten ur pick attack and u can play play full clean chords then play hard and get a great distorted tone. For leads, just max the volume. BTW less highs at the amp will fix the ratty fuzzy top end.

    It would be helpful to the people watching the video if we knew which controls are being tweeked...all I can see is knobs being turned throughout the video; without knowing what you're turning. Doesn't give the viewer much of an idea as to how each control functions without being able to see what's being turned.

    @RSguitarEFFECTS I think I will.
    Hopefully this clone won't disappoint me, I haven't been able to find any other clones that actually nail its tone based on clips. This guy making it actually gives a damn about relying on his ears in the process, which in the end I think is what really matters not just getting the schematic right.

  • @leavemealoneyouprick
    @leavemealoneyouprick Před 11 lety

    i use the GV2 for a really harsh punky/hardcore sound and i love it!! very versatile pedal, can get blues, metal, rock, punk, hardcore, grunge, classic rock and thrash sounds out of it if your smart and you try hard enough. shame they arent true bypass, HOWEVER the bypass is pretty damn good, dont let that turn you off this pedal!

  • @cbappa2

  • @Ncuab
    @Ncuab Před 14 lety

    GOV'NOR GV-2+ - sounds more full
    JACKHAMMER JH-1 - sounds more nasaly, tighter, and more scooped, at extreme settings it can sound a little compressed and too nasaly, but still good.
    ***as always, it depends on what other gear you're using, how all of your gear complements/works against each other, what sound you're looking for, how it feels, and what you're willing to pay***

    Sounds good, I've always been a big Guvnor fan.
    Though I think the vintage Guvnor sounds even better by quite a bit. Only problem is finding one and if you do they are usually pretty banged up.
    Fortunately I was able to find a guy under the name "Stomptone" who can make me a clone. I've heard his version A/B'd against the real deal, I was really impressed and I think he nailed it, a lot of the schematics out there are pretty bunk.
    I might even make a vid of my own comparing it to the GV-2...

    I own both a Jackhammer and a Bluesbreaker 2. In my opinion the Jachammer has much more natural overdrive sound than the Bluesbreaker 2. Thats why I use the Jackhammer for blues /rock and the Bluesbreaker for boosting the sound. The Jackhammer is very versatile, the Contour and Contour Freq. knobs can are great. The Drive sound of Bluesbreaker 2 is somewhat digital. According to this comparison video I'm very interested in the Guvnor!

      Sergio Targ Amigo, todos os 2 pedais do review, irão te dar um timbre Marshall. Sendo que o Guv'nor, nada mais é, do que uma versão moderna do clássico pedal da marshall ( muito bom por sinal, já tive o prazer de comparar o dois lado a lado) Já o Jackhammer, a proposta da empresa, era que você pudesse atingir o timbre do Marshall JTM 2000 ( impossível) mas você consegue tranquilo, o drive quente dos clássicos Marshall valvestate ingleses dos anos 90 ( tendo lógico, mais recursos de timbragem) o Jackhammer é 2 pedais em 1 ( O Overdrive do lendário pedal marshall Drive Master, e a distorção lendária do Shared Master) é como se você tivesse esses 2 pedais vintage, num único pedal. Só que com o recurso do famoso ´´contour`` o que é uma mão na roda, pra conseguir diferentes timbragens. Vale a pena você ter os 2 pedais do review. Todos os dois, te dará o timbre de um Marshall. Mas se gostar de blues, ai pegue o Marshall Bluesbreaker ( muito bom também, e tem booster com controle de volume)
