I've had this a few months, I think it's my fav pedal ever. I was never that crazy w TS ODs until I messed with the Moonshien side of this puppy. You can stay on that one forever, gain options and tweaks, amazing what it does to anything else or any amp channel. The Angry Charlie V3 is just the best Marshall sounding pedal, not too metal and fizz just deep heavy basic Marshall add the Moonshine and it is just crazy good, very hard to stop playing it. JHS has a killer here.

[@dago6410]

Will there, by any chance, EVER be a Marshall amp in Your videos as one of switched amps in "different amps" section of videos? Cause you know, there are some of us who happen to be REALLY proud and happy owners of awesome amps (or a bit less awesome, but also a bit cheaper and still awesome) by that company who might be interwested in "will X pedal sound good into my DSL or whatever ;>

[@Squidward_Tikiland]

Dago 64 i second this

[@JimijaymesProductions]

Peavey, Fender or Marshall would be great. I think the Carl martin gets the 'marshall clean if it was boutique as fuck' but yeah nothing like a DSL

[@JimijaymesProductions]

Or at least the Joyo Dual Klonz set to Plexi or Bluesbreaker or Bassman.

[@ProbableCauseBluesBand]

This guys studio is like the ultimate guitar/amp porn! I’d disappear in there never to be seen again.

[@Lancoreh]

Work on bass? Cut low frequencies? ¿Funciona en bajo eléctrico? ¿Recorta frecuencias bajas? Thanks.

[@UkiMalefu]

I like the St vincent guitar BECAUSE it's weird

[@leonardgould6657]

ST. VINCENT IS A GIRL! A GIRL! THE GUITAR IS AS "GIRLY"AS IT GETS! AND THIS GERMAN DUDE IS RIGHT OUT OF MARY SHELLEY'S "FRANKENSTEIN!" YOU ""FEM"" DUDES WATCHING THIS "CHUM LINE" SHOULD grab a MARSHALL and a LES PAUL STANDAED, and just rip a hole in the roof!

[@mordokch]

Ok Henning I've got to give it to you this time - this thing sounds bloody great ! I might just have to buy me one - wonder what the price tag is ? Big I expect lol. Funny thing is, when I was a kid JHS was the low budget stuff we bought if we couldn't afford Boss. How things change eh ? Edit: Yeha it's damn expensive - 350 euro is about £313. Shame - it sounds great but it's stupid money. I would have bought one sub £200 but not a chance I'm paying over £300 for it - ain't happening in this lifetime lol. Edit 2: Get Joyo to clone it and put it out for about £129 !

[@jonnelson5881]

This JHS started in 2007 just fyi so probably not the same one you're thinking of, retail is $315

[@mordokch]

Yerha I knew JHS went bust quite a while ago, so I assumed someone bought the brand. They used to be based just a couple of miles from where I grew up - couldn't even count the number of JHS branded bits of gear I had back then, though they where primarily an importer/re-brander and didn't manufacture much if anything themselves.

[@DerEchteBold]

Jonathan Nelson The v3 is €349 at Thomann for Germany or 313,16 pounds for Britain and that's quite low if it really goes for $315 in the US, often the price differences are much bigger.

[@frankquinn1296]

This is not the JHS company from Leeds you are thinking about mate, this is a US company , I thought the same thing when i first seen them emerge. These are really great pedals

[@mordokch]

There's no arguing with the quality - this pedal sounds excellent and there's another I'd like to get my hands on - I think it might be called a colorbox (or colourbox) - it is supposed to simulate going through the old console at abbey road, and I am told it is bloody fantastic. Hahaha good old john hornby skewes though eh ? I wouldn't have been able to afford jack if it weren't for them when I was young - there were no cheap chinese imports back then - no ebay - no gumtree, if you wanted something you went down the music shop (in my case JSG (became spectresound) in Bingley, and you forked over the cash and took it home there and then. Now THAT WAS a proper music shop - like a hard rock cafe but you could buy stuff :)

[@ickebins6948]

Its always good to have a clean knob...

[@JVIoneyman]

Clean knob is a bit odd. It kinda sounds like a clean tone with gain in the background somewhere. Pedal sounds amazing otherwise.

[@bigblues5251]

Sméagol can play guitar... Who knew?

[@RequiemDead]

What about Robert Smigel?

[@bigblues5251]

Was he in Lord of the Rings also?

[@RequiemDead]

I know Sméagol was....but no, Robert Smigel is a comedian and writer for SNL.

[@bigblues5251]

Are you so self-righteous you would rather be a grammar nazi then see the joke in front of your face? Here I will change my spelling so can scratch that control itch. Do enjoy that, posh.

[@thehound2161]

Sweet Tea magnificent and a Wampler The Doctor in the loop is such a bonus. These two pedals are right up there with my favorites. I had to add that the St V is nice, but i would lose about 70% of the pick guard and let the top wood show and remove some from the bottom edge as well. It just covers too much and overall gives me a bad reflex.

[@RequiemDead]

I would love to hear this pedal through the power amp section of the Revv...I bet it would sound AMAZING on it's own.

[@chrishepburn1503]

I heard Dan from That pedal show talking about the clean knob on The Moonshine and he didn't really get it. I have to agree with him, as soon as you turn up the clean knob it sounds like crap. Although if your using it for bass the clean blend would work well

[@riheg]

I dont like when the brown sound gets more wet and stinky.. I prefer it firm :D

[@xandertures]

Better'er

[@kimmolingonheimo]

440€s at Thomann, just ordered the LY-Rock clone: 99€s! seen vids where it sounds the same...or nearly, Ill see...😎

[@mikedixon8830]

Sounds killer!

[@leehenderson8132]

Got mine the other day and for a dirt box it's soooo musical.THE CLEAN KNOB BABY.And the midst on Chuck really affect its attitude.LOVE THIS PEDAL.

[@kimmolingonheimo]

I just have to say this is one of the best pedals Ive come across... Im aiming for jazzy, dumbly tones..which Ive found, probably also the Moonshine in this, but the heavy lead tones Ive never quite found in a pedal( I have tweaked n tweaked my ZOOM G2s Mesa n Marshall tones, but .....) I m still saving this to be stomped on, and do have an EHX Silencer ready for noise..., probably will still keep the pedal for not-so-hi gain tones, seems so good! (( and go back tweaking the parameters in the ZOOM once more, a wonderful pedal for clean tone: the reverb/echo/delay department is topnotch and lots of eq parameters!!!😎😎

[@andresilvasophisma]

I was searching for your album with Sebastian Bach and came accross this pic: images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/17700000/Henning-Pauly-Sebastian-Bach-sebastian-bach-17728804-265-500.jpg What a cute couple. And your hair, so majestic.

[@jjj6655]

There is so much to love about your videos - I just wanted to single out the many iterations of 'my two cents' - I don't think I've seen the same graphic twice! So unnecessary and so fun! Thanks!

[@GTX1123]

hmmm...the tube screamer side of this pedal sounds almost exactly like my Wampler Pinnacle with my guitar volume rolled back to 3 or 5. I would love to hear the Angry Charlie dimed up with the guitar volume rolled back to 3 or 5. This is IMHO, the ultimate test for any dist pedal as I've tried many pedals that rival the Pinnacle w guitar volume at 8-10 but when you roll your guitar volume back to 6 or lower they sound DREADFUL. The Pinnacle is the only pedal I've ever used that cleans up nicely and doesn't sound thin, tinny and muddy when you roll your guitar volume back to 6 or lower. It in fact, actually mimics the same guitar volume dynamics of being plugged into a dimed up 1970's 50Watt Marshall JMP.

[@_patrikjay_]

great job H.P., wonderful video and a nice change up with that guitar and that pedal...very origgg....W2G.....

[@peterjessop1878]

Maybe I’m missing something but this seems a lot of money for what is in essence a Marshall Guvnor and a tubescreamer. Also to my ears the D&M drive sounds better and is £100 cheaper

[@ryanspencerlauderdale687]

3rd version better? Depends on how you want to use it. I don’t like the clean blend on its own. It makes the Moonshine sound like a layer of distortion on top of your clean sound. But in front of a distorted amp, you might want that to get more clarity.

[@LetsLaberWithMi]

Could you please make a review of the harley benton fanfret 8nt? i want to buy it as my first 8 string, but don't know if it is worth it I'm also from germany :)

[@mattgilbert7347]

My budget version: Digitech Bad Monkey Joyo Deluxe Crunch

[@RobbDizzl]

Woah, someone’s been practicing legato runs. Did you get a little Tom Quayle lesson?

[@davemau5e]

Awesome demo Henning! Happy owner of this pedal! Sounds amazing! I use it for leads and solos!

[@kiko2129]

Aaaaaaand he's back

[@markstanford594]

One of the best videos you have done. You have probably done it before, but I like the rotation through the half dozen amps or so. Really adds to the effectiveness of the demo. 315 bucks is a lot to spend, for me, on a pedal as a couple of my guitars were about that price. I'll add it to my Christmas list and maybe it will show up. Nice job!

[@CaptainKirk007]

“But don’t look at it. Don’t even think about it. No it can’t be touched. It can’t be played.”

[@stevenlouth2136]

You could use it in METAL as a boost maybe but that's what she said !!!!!!!!

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Great sounding pedal. Thought it sounded best through the Diezel and the Jet City though. Too much for me by 2/3.

[@iancosgrove]

Eytsch Pi guy reminds me of Colonel Klink

[@Squidward_Tikiland]

I would metal on it. It would let the dynamics and the real sound of the strings come through really well but still be really distorted

[@EvilMP5]

You should do the Amp Tweaker tight metal pedal.

[@raybca]

can you use this pedal with 18v?

[@paulsguitarstudio126]

doesn't get any more good'er or better'er ordered mine today, apparently this has a v3 Angry Charlie and there is now a yellow V4 but I believe the V3 is more thicker Marshall JCM800 while the V4 shoots at more a JTM45 Marshall thing. Anyway, who doesn't need another extremely good overdrive?

[@jakesgaming4091]

The yellow one you're referring to is the lower gain Charlie Brown I believe...

[@CaptainKirk007]

Great pedal that somewhat sounds boss ish and sunset Strymon ish all at once.

[@Gummmibaer]

And again I totally dont get the "Clean" knob. I guess there are good uses for this, but in a setup like here: just turn "clean" all the way down, and it sounds so much better.

[@chrishepburn1503]

Gummmibaer I agree the clean knob is pointless for guitar, only really good for bass

[@himanshudihingia5582]

Plzz review the whampler dual fusion

[@alexandre5882]

its not a strat,its not a tele, its an ....Ugly Thing!!

[@electricritual4197]

Looks more like root beer

[@StudioChimiel]

16:50 - your most asked question?

[@EytschPi42]

is it angry? is it Charlie?

[@jay2xtremefy]

Those amps. 😱😱😱

[@drdoener535]

Tolles Video. Kommt eigentlich noch ein Review zur Gretsch

[@nightwishlover8913]

Good idea! Another channel has just done one; I'd like to hear your opinion...

[@hugowasalreadytaken]

Dear henning, I purchased a Keeley DM drive as my main drive pedal about a year ago but i''m not completely satisfied with it. It does not have entirely the sound i'm looking for, and even though the Boost side is great, i'm not really super ocntent with the drive side. Do you think the sweet tea would be a better contender for genres ranging from metallica to mike stern, than the DM drive, or is it in your opinion about the same?

[@EnterJustice]

The Sweet Tea v3 is essentially a tubescreamer + JCM800 sim, whereas the Keeley D&M is more of a bluesbreaker (the one you like) + tubescreamer/klon-type circuit. There isn't a dual pedal that combines a bluesbreaker-circuit with a heavy metal circuit, I'm afraid. Not that I know of. You'll also find that many dual overdrives feature the tubescreamer in some way. It's a legendary pedal for a reason. Perhaps just get a morning glory, pantheon, black box overdrive 2,... for the lighter overdrives. I think Metallica liked to run a tubescreamer + rat into a marshall in their early days. If you're looking for heavy metal tones there's tons of options, ranging from pure amp drive (mesa boogies, 5150's, engl's and diezels,... plenty of options) to pedals (e.g. Empress Heavy, Revv G3/G4, Wampler Dracarys,...). I like to run a high gain pedal into a vox ac30 sim with a mesa boogie cab. Awesome tones.

[@hugowasalreadytaken]

@@EnterJustice cheers, thanks a lot :))

[@hugowasalreadytaken]

@@EnterJustice and from different sources ive also heard the jhs morning glory being a klon type pedal, but from others ive heard its a bluesdriver pedal. Do you know which is true?

[@EnterJustice]

@@hugowasalreadytaken MG is a modified bluesbreaker circuit, with added JFET output buffer. Klon has a different circuit (the double gain pot for example), though to the untrained ear they can sound similar depending on your gain settings.

[@garrettboomerbender]

Do you remember how the AC 30 was set?

[@EytschPi42]

flat.... input at about 10 o'clock.... normal channel

[@mohamedayman9982]

hi could you please make a video about music Schools in Germany cause I'm from Egypt and I wanna study music in Germany but very confused.

[@theelectrichobo829]

i love you man i really do but i cant watch this review ...anything with JHS turns my stomach for obvious reasons bro.

[@EytschPi42]

I totally understand. Sadly, they make absolutely amazing pedals.... I don't pursue making demos for them, but if they fall into my lap (Warwick gave them to me), I make a video. But essentially I am totally agreeing with you!

[@theelectrichobo829]

EytschPi42 it's a great sounding pedal no doubt about it..the little I heard I was very impressed.. I wish Brian Wampler made it instead of JHS...i know you gotta try and cater to a varied audience man and some of them are big JHS fans.

[@mojoman2001]

@@EytschPi42 -- LOL. I have an Ibanez TubeScreamer, too. But, if I like the Moonshine better, don't hate JHS for improving the pedal. The JHS costs more than the Ibanez, too, so I don't see any problem with "unfair" competition. Get over it. Competition is a good thing. It's not like JHS stole the riff to Under Pressure from Queen and David Bowie.

[@davethepius]

Seems like a JHS take on the Wampler Pinnacle V2...

[@EytschPi42]

no, not really....they are very different.

[@davethepius]

EytschPi42 Dammit, I'm trying to talk myself out of buying this. You're not helping, Mr Henning!!

[@martinkrauser4029]

Well, half of it is a TS 808, and the other is an Angry Charlie, which is a modded (?) MI Crunch Box. So you could get those, instead. :P

[@davethepius]

Martin Krauser I got a plethora of Tube Screamers, so that's covered. I might have to check out the Crunch Box...

[@frankquinn1296]

Not a great fan of the wampler pedals, once you crank your amp and hit them they sound like a pedal, the Angry Charlie is really way above the Pinnacle v1 or 2 . It doesn't collapse on itself

[@Eric_1972]

Dude, stick with talking about the pedal because humor isn't your thing.

[@EytschPi42]

+ERIC B we‘ll just have to agree to disagree on that one... there are also about 56.000 other people who might disagree with you.

[@guitarFlownimo]

EytschPi42 That was great Henning! BURN 👌
