Golden Boy Roundtable Feat. Joey Landreth

[@kevinsutherland9756]

How do I give this video more than 1 thumbs up???? Joey's playing is incredible and Jackson Audio hits the ball out of the park - AGAIN!!!

[@antoniofalanga5846]

Joey deveserves so many more comments, this man is unbelievable!

[@WhatsUpWhitey]

My next purchase has been decided and made! Thanks to all involved in this project.

[@michaelkyle1704]

Hey, I got a Golden Boy for my birthday - it's amazing, great job Jackson Audio ! I have a predection - as of today there are 113 Golden Boys in stock on the JA website (29 July 2020). I heard on Monday that That Pedal Show will be demoing the pedal in the next week or so - let's watch how fast they sell out once that show goes out ! Get one now would be my advice ! Limited to 500 units at this stage. Joey is a fab player, quite a magician.

[@mikeparkerf3]

Been through so many drives I lost count, all the hype drives, stacked so many combos over the years…I ended up with just one golden boy, it literally took the spot of 2 of my all time favorite drives to stack (benson preamp, and Browne protein), I had this before those and went down the overdrive tone rabbit hole and ended up back here and so happy, it’s does everything I want and more and at such a high quality

[@nickrocker123]

I just got the Bloom 2 weeks ago and ... wow! I need my whole board to be Jackson Audio!!! You guys are awesome!

[@JacksonAudio]

Thank you so much Nick!

[@StupidEarthlings]

WOW! that sounds pretty friggin Sweet! Damn you people!

[@znmcg]

Sounds so good I thought about buying 3, but settled on only 2

[@JacksonAudio]

Try harder next time. ;) thank you!

[@kentonschroer2347]

Annnnnnd.... Purchased! Nothing better than JA and Joey. So good!

[@jackbutler2732]

Sounds awesome!! Joey is a monster player with monster tone.

[@RealMNeutral31]

Those are some smooth-tasty butter tunes with that slider. Great demo. Great pedal.

[@jorgetenamusic]

Joey as always amazing, the pedal sounds brutal. Ok, I need it! Royal followers LOL

[@chefallen520]

Omg !! Gotta have it .

[@cheycasters]

I just got my Golden Boy today from the website and dang, it was a Joey Signature one I didn't even expect BUT, After messing around with this thing with no manual in hand but trusting these 62 year old ears Anyhoo, after figuring out the modes in both drive and boost and messing with the tone controls etc. I LOVE THIS PEDAL to pieces. In my 50 years of playing I have never had any pedal that just IS freekin right!!!! I so want to get an El Guapo and a Mod Fuzz next as the demos Brad does of them at the NAMM show turned my tonal crank immediately!!! KILLER pedal with awesome tonal variations....WOW... Im a worship guitarist (95%electric) and Im from the old school and this pedal rocks. Wait until the congregation hears this this weekend!! Blessings! Forgot to mention this is thru a 2001 Dr Z Maz junior 2x10 combo. I can only imagine what it will sound like thru my Fargen 800 MKII, and 50w 68 Plexi... And my 1970 100W Super Lead that Ive owned for 46 years of its 50 year old life!! ;)~ This is the next morning after my post above; I REALLY LOVE this pedal.

[@insideoutNOTW]

How much tone is the player or is the pedal that great? Either way...Brad you build great amps n pedals! You are so humble at Namm! Loved watching your face when a not so good player would play your gear! Even a not so good player can sound great through your gear!

[@JacksonAudio]

You're very kind. We're all learning and none of us have "arrived". Thank you for your kindness. It was the sweetest thing I've heard all day. :)

[@mattgilbert7347]

3 Band EQ, different clipping modes, and MIDI on a BB-based pedal? My GAS is kicking in...

[@gonzopewpew]

I need dis. Take my money.

[@steveyankees1]

I just got the Broken Arrow V1 and Bloom midi. Now it’s time to figure out if the GB should replace the BA!!I like the Magenta mode.

[@alexanderwebb3032]

That is amazing! I am so excited about this pedal!

[@mr501mc]

I am looking for a mosfet boost pedal. And bluesbreaker pedal after months of researchers finally decided on the perfect pedals for me...... Now this! 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@voodoochilezee]

Oh my goodness that sounded GREAT!!! Joey is a beast of a player!! I think I may need one of these pedals, is that Red amp an EL84 based amplifier?

[@derekchapman5167]

Did I just hear that Joey plays with 19's; that's essentially climbing rope?!?

[@loveisrealdudes]

Joey is for sure a boss. I wish he wouldn’t have moved around his volume so much. It was hard to tell how much was the guitar and how much was the pedal when you change between different settings and modes. Got one coming in the mail though. I’m excited to hear myself

[@simonjonasmusic8410]

Love the sounds, hate the fact that the LED colour scheme isn't suited for the colourblind (me). Otherwise an incredible pedal. Cant tell the Yellow apart from the green, or the aqua apart from the blue. So sad. Edit: that's about 8-11% of all men BTW

[@steveyankees1]

SimonJonasMusic YES!! I’m so glad someone spoke out about that. I’m in 100% agreement. LED Color selections on pedals are so frustrating. I struggle big time with Oceans 11 pedal. I can’t tell what color I’m on. To all pedal designers- please take this into consideration!!

[@darenanderson4961]

I think Jackson is making some of the best designed gain pedals. The EQ and gain and boost options that you’ve created are brilliant! I recently got the Broken Arrow, and I love it. I would love a fuzz pedal with all these killer options! Any plans in the future for a Jackson fuzz?

[@andrewbelmore3560]

Look up the Jackson Audio NAMM video. He talks about a distortion and fuzz.

[@Sasketchejuana_man]

when i first plugged it in, it seemed to sound really sterile. after some dialing in it got better. I'm kind of a leave it always on and ride the volume guy so the 25 percent volume increments are somewhat useless to me. Mostly it sounds great at 50 or 75. It does beat having multiple overdrives on a pedalboard which was my goal, but hard to say YET that it sounds better than a timmy or king of tone. I'm sure it'll grow on me more though.

[@Sasketchejuana_man]

my only gripe thus far is when im using my feet to switch from green, magenta, blue, amber, my foot covers the LED light so i can't really see. Eventually ill be able to trust my ear, but im sortve looking around my foot to see what im on.

[@homeworldmusic]

The amount of work you must have put into just the switching/LED colors, geez!

[@JacksonAudio]

Quite a lot. Thank you for noticing. :)

[@cmo4604]

Just wondering if the name of this pedal is a nod to a certain gov’t building in our ( Joey’s and my) hometown-Winnipeg?????

[@JacksonAudio]

It sure is!!

[@treyyoung2721]

Is that microphonic pickups which are feeding-back? Great playing and looks like a very versatile pedal. The gain switching looks like it would be very handy.

[@justinguitarcia]

Yep. Joey has super vintage-y p90s in that guitar. Super responsive and touch sensitive, trade off is they are a tad microphonic. That's the classic rock/ry cooder thing, you get so much expressiveness

[@ShinyShinyBlack]

@Jackson Audio - do any of the versions have a "full range" on the low end? I had a POT for about a week, and couldn't stand how much low end it removed, even thought the clipping and the rest of the eq balance was so perfect. I ended up going back to a JHS Morning Glory because I got the low end back where I didn't feel like I lost something important. If this can give me what I need - the rest of the feature set seems like something I could go for.

[@JacksonAudio]

Because it has an active eq, the Golden boy will allow you to ADD bass. So much so that it'll shake the paint off your walls. If you're into that sort of thing. :)

[@TheSecondNature]

The guitar squeals a lot! Is it because of the p90s?

[@willgoodfellow3144]

Does the Canadian Tuxedo come with the pedal?

[@xdarky20x]

The pedal seems to click when you cycle through the gain stages, does it still click on the released version ?

[@THOMANDTHEWOLVES]

yes. :( really a deal breaker...there also is a slight lag when engaging / disengaging..

[@TheRealMellowFellow]

@@THOMANDTHEWOLVES lag when engaging gain stages or the clipping modes?

[@philiphopper4885]

So in this video you state that the magenta mode is based off the king of tone but on the website it says the blue mode is based of the king of tone. Which one is it? You also state in this video the blue mode has asymmetrical clipping but the website says the magenta mode is the only mode with asymmetrical clipping...

[@JacksonAudio]

I totally misspoke. Purple is KOT clipping and Blue is Timmy clipping. Green is 808 clipping and Amber is Marshall style. So sorry!

[@philiphopper4885]

@@JacksonAudio Thanks for replying, I assumed that's what it was but wasn't sure. I have another question, I reached out to CS on Facebook the other day but hadn't heard back. I was wondering what the two internal trim pots control? I don't see any documentation on it. Thanks again! Absolutely loving this pedal.

[@bowdenmcallister993]

Great now I can't decide between the broken arrow or the golden boy now! I love them both which should I get 😭 I kinda like how the boss blues driver breaks up but I'm kinda looking for something new. What should I doooooo

[@bowdenmcallister993]

Also I've never owned a tube screamer esc or a blues breaker esc overdrive

[@JacksonAudio]

@@bowdenmcallister993 Golden Boy. I've never seen anyone that didn't love it.

[@bowdenmcallister993]

@Jackson Audio thank you very much, love all your pedals, question when will the golden boy be in Australia?

[@alexanderwebb3032]

If you like TS style pedals then the Broken Arrow is amazing. If you like Blues Drivers than this is defiantly your jam.

[@JacksonAudio]

@@bowdenmcallister993 We should be shipping to them in May based on orders here in the US

[@thesaj1110]

Well done, killer pedal and options. Too bad the price is a bit high!

[@joeschlicht]

In this video, the pedals sounds very good, but still too fiddly for my tastes. Some probably like that though.

[@cheycasters]

thats the part I love about this pedal. it really is like have multiple set ups for different situations for sure. Me, Im a worship guitarist and just the concept sold me on giving it a try and it does not disappoint!

[@joeschlicht]

@@cheycasters very glad it's working out for you. I mainly prefer pedals with 3 knobs or less. But I also like my amp(s) to give me most of the tone.

[@BeefNEggs057]

Joey is awesome. Looking forward to demos from non-baritone players so I could see what mortals sound like lol.

[@DP-hn6rl]

Are you running this at 9 or 18v? @jackson audio

[@hkguitar1984]

Great idea for a combination OD/Boost pedal, the pedal sounds great and looks like it could be used as an "always-on" effect. What brand Goldtop is Joey so masterfully playing?

[@natelussier7787]

I believe it is called a Sorokin Gold Top...

[@guitardude6464]

love this!

[@TheKnutselaar]

19s?!

[@robbieyates1685]

It's an interesting demo but I'd like to see one where someone is playing rhythm and lead through all of the sounds. Joey sounds great but I don't play slide and blues so I can't tell how it will sound with what I play.

[@elixir9659]

19's !? That's like a wire for towing trucks.

[@kane6529]

Holy shit I thought you were joking 😂

[@elixir9659]

@David Driver Of course i know that. It was a joke ;)

[@TheSoelito]

Que costo tendría este pedal

[@rjeric8185]

The only issue is that that guitarist could make his fork sound musical whilst eating.

[@JacksonAudio]

that's a fact!

[@rjeric8185]

@@JacksonAudio still going to buy one.... you should make an autotune guitar pedal and have settings for your favorite guitarist.

[@jacobthomas2756]

Where the fuck do you get 19 gauge strings and how the fuck do you use them?!!

[@phillipbradford6976]

Must...Have...Immediately

[@TW-AZ]

Is this all analog with digital control or is there digital overdrive?

[@JacksonAudio]

It is all analog with digital control :)

[@javonwalker9367]

Lol 19’s? What how lol so his high e is a 19 lol wow deres no way he’s in standard tuning lol

[@JacksonAudio]

No he's in open C I believe.

[@Erickchicas]

He sure can play but not very good to demo the pedal like this though.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Agree. He is a great player (however) This Demo is more suited for: Andy Martin, Pete Thorn, Brett Kingman or Shawn Tubbs. Those 4 guys can make a Tuna-can sound Rock & Roll.

[@fmaraldo2829]

PLAY CHORDS

[@bertagriese8282]

To present with just 1 guitar does not give me the tone I'm looking for - Joey or not. Plus, the use of the pedal without midi is simply a total step dance mess - what if you want to get from 100% to 75% gain? No-one can do that in a live situation.

[@xdarky20x]

Guitar volume. Agree on the first part though
