[@scootinand]

The production Lee made of trying to convince Rob that there were actually 9 different pedals is distilled British comedy

[@dpeters9897]

Playing a half-hour joke on your friend on KZbin......priceless.

[@jajahgadis]

Joke's on you. There are 9 different circuits in this pedal.

[@charliepayne9248]

I like them all....! Especially the green one!

[@marontesla2982]

and other green one sounds pretty great!)

[@jesseyasaitis9036]

maron tesla and the green one after that other green one was pretty good sounding too!

[@Drotokogan]

Yes... And on the 3rd pedal....

[@Corporations8MyBaby]

That was fascinating! One of your best. Josh at JHS must appreciate that you did exactly what was intended... you saw each mode as it's own clone. I really enjoyed this ride. Thank you!

[@scoutrifle6827]

"Oh, that's a classic...is that one made in America?" Awesome-the Captain should have been a politician! :)

[@TheRealZookness]

T-shirt idea, Rob with a finger in the air as if signaling a waiter, chat bubble "More gain please", while i'm personally not a huge fan of high gain, id totally rock such a shirt.

[@jordandangelo180]

Not a fan of high gain... 🤔 do you like fuzz? Or a your a jazzer? Ambient shoegazer? 👞 🤩

[@federatedrev]

It’s like every other blindfold challenge was made to lead up to this one. Been setting this one up for ages, building trust, and now you can NEVER DO IT AGAIN. Grand!

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

Good timing, I've got a Bonsai getting delivered today. Can't wait to use it!

@@boggeshzahim3713 : It would also be a good thing if the demo reassured dude he made the correct choice. :)

[@MRay-zj4ro]

How'd you like it, Ross? I have one due Saturday.

[@MRay-zj4ro]

@@boggeshzahim3713 : Just to wrap up loose ends I love mine. Definitely hits a great range of Tube Screamer tones. I only had a TS808 re-issue to A/B it against directly but it is extremely close in tone. Not everyone likes Tube Screamers of course but if you're a fan this is a great pedal that offers a ton of subtle variation in the Tube Screamer range. My amateur rating : 9.3\10

[@blackie75]

They like $400 in Australia, think I'll give it a miss.

[@mishkatrahman20]

I just started watching but I know for a fact Pete doing the DgenerationX crotch chop is gonna be the highlight no doubt

Been watching these videos for years but I hadn't seen this one. Just watched this immediately after watching todays video with Josh Scott and I'm not sure I've laughed this much at a video in a good while! And such a perfect way to demo the pedal, love JHS stuff. You guys are great, thank you for the years of laughs and demos, hope to come to Andertons someday!

[@JFairweather]

This takes me back around forty years when I was an AM at a music store. Every day around 4:00 p.m. all the young guys would show up and noodle - stop - noodle - stop - noode - stop. This would last until mom had dinner ready and off they would go. That's what I would hear every day from years (and ten times as much on Saturdays for eight hours straight). If I ever wanted to relive those days, I would loop this one video endlessly, turn the volume down a bit and then spend my time counting thousands of small random objects and writing down the quantities.

[@Mitchnagel58]

The only type of screams I hear these days are from the cage that I've kept Bobby locked in down in the basement for the last six years

[@yippy327]

Great sense of humor, Chappers! That was cool.

[@woody1755]

That look on Robs face at the reveal.....priceless!

[@MisterRorschach90]

The fact that jhs can do stuff like this and actually make it profitable makes every other pedal company look bad. When they do multi pedals they take up half the board unless they are digital, and even then sometimes the digital ones are massive too. We need more of these. It would be cool if they made analog versions of the uafx pedals. Though the tape echo might make it a little pricy.

[@kevinfeatherstone6062]

I took the easy way out and got the Mini Tubescreamer... love the mini

[@k8sune]

I'm frothing over using one with the Two Notes Le Clean and Torpedo CAB for recording. Endless tonal-options!

[@matttaylor1302]

Now do a blind test of the JHS Bonsai vs all the actual pedals it is trying to sound like. Have both hooked up through a splitter, and let him switch back and forth as he wants, and see which he thinks is better. Just mix up the order of whether you plug the JHS or the Original into channel A or B.

[@flatmatt123]

great way to disorient rob bahaha

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

Oh my god... The nerves in my arms twitched when the LP dropped... You know that reflex-feeling we... well... most of us have (not so much the stoners).

[@stoneysdead689]

Hard for me to say if the pedal is really that good when you're using a high-end guitar and amp- I can't tell where the pedals starts and your rig stops- or vice versa. If that makes sense- that rig sounds so much better than anything I have in other words- I can't tell if I'm loving the pedal or the rig- or both.

[@shahinnomani]

My wife keeps yelling at me what could be this funny in a guitar product review video! 🤣

[@Nitronium]

Also, Lee, my Bjorn Gelotte Custom arrived Damaged to Perth, Australia. Staff at Andertons were awesome in assisting with ze issue and reimbursed me for the cost of repair. Just thought you should know.

[@andertons]

Good to know & sorry about that live stream - we just couldn't get the connection speed we needed.

[@devilslide01]

Robs expression was freakin priceless. I think I need this pedal

[@KimonFrousios]

That is more useful as helping you decide which pedal to get, rather than as the pedal to actually buy. Or are there really people who need a different ts for each song/gig???

[@boggeshzahim3713]

It's nice to have options

[@adamgriffiths1703]

Paul Kossoff walks into Andertons. Guy at the counter asks, “What can I do for you?”. Paul replies “my guitar tone just isn’t right, it’s not crunchy enough, there’s not enough bite!”. “Ahhhh...” replies our friendly Andertons assistant. “You need more gain Free man”. We’ll get you a JHS Bonsai.

[@mattgilbert7347]

I really liked it when they used the Tube Screamer into the amp, pushing it a bit, and with the gain up but not maxed out. That's a winner, I reckon it'll catch on bigtime. Yep. Tube Screamer FTW

[@Moakalatte]

Liked this video at the Crotch chop. Lee is a crazy-good liar! And that pedal sounds awesome!! That reaction at 30:19 is gold!

You guys should do a series, maybe with Rabea and Matt, where they review a new affordable piece of gear, (like a cheap modeling amp) and show the audience a few of the best tones they could get out of it, and also show the audience the process and how they achieved that tone!!!

[@GibsonSGJKL]

I have two SG's from the early 2000's, a 61 reissue and Gordie Johnson signature (Google it, nice guitar), and they never go out of tune. I've had one sit for months and be in perfect tune when I pick it up. What's up with this Les Paul?

[@fraenkiboii]

I'm at Tubescreamer "simulation" two right now and stopped the video just to write: I cannot wait to see Rob's face at the end realizing it all has been a single pedal. I just hope that Lee doesn't screw up.

Haha, guys, that's freaky amazing :) EXAR OD-1 was my very first pedal effect, bought in early 2000's, where everything else was expensive as hell and there was no "cheap brands" available... BTW the pedal was as massive and "armored" as ProCo RAT. Unfortunately, later on company switched to very weak plastic and then disappeared (probably ceased to exist) due to competence of china-made effects. I'm just so crazy about the fact, that JHS put that sound in their pedal too! Cheers :)

[@gliddofglood]

I'll bet someone has already pointed out that there seems to be some confusion between Banzai and Bonsai here. Bonsai is the miniature Japanese tree thing (illustrated on the pedal). Banzai is the kamikaze death scream (not illustrated on the pedal). It's trees, guys, not suicide bombers.
