Great player - such positive energy. J.L.J. always looks like he is having a blast. Loving the tree-trunk coffee table. Always enjoy your videos brother. Pedal is impressive-too. oNe LovE from NYC

Thanks!

[@chrishansondc]

Wife says, “You should totally buy this and always use it at 100%!” Well played wifey.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Hahaha... Comment of the day right there!

[@soulismissing]

bro, just tell her she need one for her mouth.... mic dropped.

[@iamgodbringmecake]

Best review I’ve seen of this gate thus far! Always good stuff!!

[@JayLeonardJ]

I really appreciate it, thanks!

[@iamgodbringmecake]

No problem! Keep On rockin’!

[@foreverjulybass85]

I clicked on this because I'm looking into the KMA Pylon for my new EVH 5150iii Iconic 40watt Combo because it's a little noisy. And here it is. That in itself is awesome. Hell maybe boi

[@foreverjulybass85]

Dude, your explaining everything and how to hook up the pedal correction awesome. Some people don't usually explain so much and just demo the pedal in different settings and amps which is kewl. I just subscribed. I was hoping for more metal/meshuggah tones (but thats just my taste for a noise gate) and there's so many genre's to cover and wants that it's impossible to cover everything and you covered plenty. I watch a lot of videos and base my pedal buying opinions off of the videos because a lot of these pedals aren't available to try before buying. So you, The Pedal Zone and Riffs, Beards and Gear are my new top 3. Good job duder! Also, there's a baritone guitar player for metal I watch a lot but I can't think of his name and that makes me feel bad lol. Also, Dan Explains It All. + Ola England. Sorry, my adhd gets the best of me sometimes with long nonsense texts. Hell Maybe.

Never mind "ADHD". That spelling/grammar is far more offensive! :'D

[@Sushi_Overdose]

Great and complete demo. I think I've found my christma's treat since I don't own a noise gate yet :p

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

Dude... your videos are ART much like your playing! Just floored! That EVH like Cathedral mixed with that Edge like Sunday Bloody Sunday delay effect was... KILLAH!!! Love the choice of the Iconic 5150 for the pedal platform amp... I've been hailing that AMAZING amps laurels since I picked up the 80 watt head about a month ago! 😎🎸🤘

[@JayLeonardJ]

I saw that 80 watt head sitting in the shop too!! It looks super epic sitting on a 4x12 as well: they definitely did nail the look of those amps really well! First time playing one and it definitely was a lot of fun :)

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

@JayLeonardJ Yeah... very impressive features for the money... sounds great... and even had a totally usable clean tone, reverb, boost, effects loop, good noise gate... presence and resonance... gain for days... only wish it had distaste eq... but Howard (one of the designers) is planning a mod fix for that in the near future! 🤘

[@XENO333]

Great review on this pedal! Seems like a great bang for the buck! Thanks!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Really useful box. Has come in handy a bunch since I got it!

[@runander]

Really cool walkthrough of the pedal. Would you say the boost with the cut control functions like a tube screamer?

[@JayLeonardJ]

There is a bit more color and gain with the tubescreamer. It is a much more neutral sounding boost with the option to clean up the low end :)

[@anthonygallo6319]

I just purchased a pylon from Thomas !! . I also have the Klirrton schnauze ,would love to see your opinion on this pedal,very expensive and I find it’s cutting my sustain!!! Thanks 🙏!!

[@josephbutler148]

Which cuts your sustain? Which do u prefer? I have the schnauze now but looking to try this one next

[@anthonygallo6319]

I’ve seen reviews that say the Klirrton doesn’t cut sustain,I find that it does!! I’m using a jcm800,plexi,and silver jubilee not playing heavy metal, I just want to cut the noise of these amps!! The best one I still own is the decimater g string!! The pylon seems to be working pretty well also,only used it three times so far!!

[@christianstewart9987]

Is there any way to make the channel switching function work on an amp that has the weird 7 prong input for the footswitch?

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

Do you like the 5150, Jay? I’m retiring a ‘91 Peavey classic-50 4x10 & looking for a new gigging-amp. I was thinking an Ac-30, but I like the looks of the amp you’re playing today & it may eliminate the need for me to buy a high-gain pedal. You’re a great player, man. ☮️

[@JayLeonardJ]

It is tons of fun. I don't really play high gain amps that often and this one really has a really exciting lead channel (a little goes a LONG way). Clean sound is really balanced and natural. A really lovely amp to play!

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

@@JayLeonardJ Cool … it sounds good when you play it. 🤘🏻 Thanks. ☮️

[@18JR78]

A true master

[@stephenhewett1651]

What external foot switch are you using? GREAT content and PLAYING as usual Jay!

[@pauldykema6628]

Came down here to ask this as well- I have a Pylon on preorder, looking forward to it!!

[@JayLeonardJ]

It was something I actually build myself with an empty enclosure and a momentary footswitch.

[@stephenhewett1651]

Looks cool, I like it! Thanks Jay!

[@foreverjulybass85]

Does the little black pedal come separately? I alps have the KMA Cirrus so this is awesomesauce. Hellfire

[@foreverjulybass85]

Already*

[@jsanch4892]

Nice work as always. But this would’ve sounded better with your blue telecaster.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Everything sound better with that Blue Telecaster, haha :)

[@soulismissing]

where did you get the basic red dot tap switch? I can't find one anywhere

[@JayLeonardJ]

I actually made it :) It was an old Amp Foot pedal and a red momentary switch I bought at my local electronics store. Any momentary footswitch would work just fine though

[@soulismissing]

@@JayLeonardJ I can't seem to find one that isn't an on and off locking switch. It looks like yours is a foot switch like bucketheads killswitch

[@pauldykema6628]

Just got my Pylon in the mail, has anyone else had an issue with the blue LED staying on even after switching the pedal off? Mine is acting weird but I’ve only used it for a few minutes. Going to do some troubleshooting, hoping for some advice. Thanks!

[@earworm]

In 4cm this pedal really dulls the sound unfortunately. Not sure why.

[@threepe0]

could have something to do with your amp's effects loop (impedance or level.)

[@dildojizzbaggins6969]

@@threepe0Yeah, the JVM for example does that. That's what the "boost" is for. In the loop it acts as volume, not signal. So you can easily level it out again (:

[@dezionlion]

Nothing vintage about the friedman s Those pups are fighting your style
