Every time you buy a JPTR FX pedal a blues dad gets a little bit more bald

[@alphanumeric1529]

I'm a blues dad, and I've been going bald well before you formed your company, but I love the sound of your pedals and have lusted after them for many years. Congrats on the growth of your company.

Can we stop all the Rob Chapman hate? He's got his style just like everyone else. Dude's not even in this video. Put some respect on the blindfold champion's name.

[@imacashew.]

Amen!

[@williamwinn948]

hating other Musicians is ridiculous Rob is a great player. We're all in this together

[@graemero5532]

Well Said

[@samuelxavier2473]

Agreed

[@Fektthis]

Without Rob Chapman, this channel wouldn't exist. Go look at the old videos from before he came along and helped get them going. His own channel was doing well at the time. Hell, even now he has more subscribers. I'd say I don't understand the hate but I do. How many guitarists does it take to change a lightbulb. 12. 1 to do it and 11 to stand around and say how they could do it better. Long story short , the channel was total shit at the time. Understandable, it was new. But Rob helped build this channel up. Lee's been on here saying it straight himself.

[@KateMossferatu]

Fernweh loosely translates to "distance ache", and implies the longing one sometimes feels for wanting to be somewhere far far away - almost like a kind of nostalgia for not feeling at home. I think the name hits home in terms of "not the kind of verb you'd be playing inside of your habitual style or comfort zone".

[@joakimrosen9992]

Jed was great, would like to see him more in videos. Great job

[@JC-fj7oo]

Finally, Nice to see some really unique pedals. Probably not going to be using these very often, but it's new. I get really tired of seeing 50 different tube screamers or klon clones in slightly different boxes.

[@jasonstone8587]

I really did think that these Pedals were going to be stupid money , but checking Anderton's Web page they really are quite competitively priced....

[@KateMossferatu]

Additionally: the Tesla has internal dip-switches (located and accessible via a nifty little hole located on the underside of the pedal) and adds a ridiculous range to the pedal. I was sort of sad that didn't come through here, because it can even be a Rat or Muff, depending on the very reactive settings. Chuffed to see you guys reviewing these pedals, nonetheless!

[@chrishepburn1503]

Damn, That Tesla Wolf had me howlin' at the moon. Sounds ace!

[@germainsebastien6191]

Looks nice but Sound problems in the video. The sound of the guitar is very low or something...

[@akesvensson3778]

It might be that the Dry Out form the last pedal got to heavy in the mix. If you can't remix it you have to do the video all over again. Which you should do to do the pedals justice. The sound picture was indeed overall way too chaotic. You can see that the guys are really into the sounds when playing but we are not. That proves that something is going on for them that we don't hear in the clip.

[@ces69]

I think it might be Jed’s style, I noticed it on another Andertons review he’s done with Pete, his picking intensity seems to vary immensely!

[@frankfionn]

It is so good to see a german pedal brand here on Andertons. And they are not the only one from Germany, who makes wonderful noise. We have a view small companies with great stuff to discover.

[@elvn4933]

What a cool range of pedals. I like things that are a bit different and these fit the bill perfectly. 😊👌🏼

[@colinedmunds2238]

theyre missing the two coolest ones: the Jive (tape saturation emulator) and the Super Weirdo (fuzz with stutter delay)

[@IlSinistero]

Really fresh sounding pedals! Yes, a lot guitar purists will hate them, but its really time to get into some new sounds and find new ways for electric guitar.

[@hugo8963]

Probably coolest pedals I've ever seen, I love psychedelic Rock and I can imagine this sort of stuff being used in it.

[@jonesisdying]

Ha! At last a great experimental demo from the Anderton's crew. No sarcastic Chapman to be snooty. Cue all the blues-rock/shred/Bonamassa disciples saying it sounds like shit. THANK YOU SO MUCH Andertons for at least acknowledging that not everyone wants to play like Steve Vai or SRV. Now do a proper Chase Bliss range review ;-)

[@milk_bath]

jonesisdying ThePedalZone and Knobs are great channels for experimental pedals.

[@jerrodknisley973]

[@karenweller7888]

Fantastic idea

[@prayformemolly1244]

Why can you not buy these anywhere? I followed the link and the site just says sorry no matches!

[@slord129]

Probably because the build quality and aftercare is shocking, wouldn't be surprised that is why no one stocks them anymore and you can only get them direct. I went through three Fernweh in a week and all were faulty in different ways, so I had to get a refund in the end. Shame as when it worked it sounded great, but totally terrible quality throughout for the price. According to my mate, who got one direct from them in Germany via Reverb, getting a refund from the maker in Germany on his faulty pedal was a PITA too from the very rude company owner. Be warned!

long story short no its because we decided to keep your distrebution on our side if you intrested in our build quality just check our instagram for gut shots or the positive reviews on reverb/google/FB and so on We waited like any other company for materials from china because of the cornoa situation thats why you had to wait so long IF you order a pedal right now the waiting AND BUILD TIME is about 5 days Have a nice day Chris (CEO JPTR FX)

[@randygeist666]

Great sounds, especially at the end when all are engaged and interact with each other

[@chestervanmen8283]

Hey, you need to get your sound sorted out, you've attenuated the volume far too harshly when you turn on the effects and they can't be heard properly...

[@LittleShayman]

I bet it's because Pete usually is in the back sorting out the sound, but he isn't cuz hes infront of the camera

[@BruxGIS]

What's wrong with the recorded sound here? One cannot hear the sound of the guitar?! There is a problem here with the mix. Please fix it, it's impossible to appreciate what these pedals actually do...

[@jimsy5530]

Why'd they stop stocking these? Only took 6 months too.

[@patgowers2982]

I had a bad experience on these badly made pedals, gave up after trying to buy a Kaleidoscope many times from Andertons! (Andertons were great as always and looked after me, wasn’t their fault). One was wired back to front and the pots all made strange noises when you moved them, one rattled and made an audio racket every time you stepped on it and the other was just dead. I took a look inside the last one and I’ve never seen such a badly made product with loose chips, dodgy soldering and bits hanging off. Not surprised Andertons stopped dealing with them.

[@alphanumeric1529]

To Andertons: If you want to sell these pedals, you should use a demo team that has experience with these pedals and knows how to play the guitar appropriately for these pedals. The idea of "lets roll video and we'll just explore the pedals" is feasible for simple pedals or one complex pedal. Diving into all of these complex pedals with no real idea of what they do is the recipe for a disaster, which this video is, unfortunately. I'm calling for a redo, and don't just wing it. Let Jet, lol, run the show with someone who knows how to play the guitar for the genre/sounds the pedals are designed for. You can see from the comments, some people just hate these sounds, they want to buy their 12th repackaged tube screamer for their $2,000 tube amp. Then there are people who love the sounds these pedals make. The latter are the larger group, and they are where the vitality in guitar based music is happening, meaning there will be life, growth and an expanding market. The guitar is a shrinking market, it is terminal. As always, the only players that will remain, will be those who figure out where the growth is and supply it. Please remain relevant.

[@hotzi9288]

Fernweh -> a strong desire to travel/visit far off places

[@BruxGIS]

Does the velcro sound is not produced by reducing drastically the transistor bias? Hence it's not even emitting, unless pushed by its input?

[@flip16hh]

Chris is a master in his field ! Great quality, unique sounds and the would survive an A bomb. Using the tesla wolf with a fender vibrolux - heaven! I am so happy that he gets buzz now !

[@cluecumber]

it would be great if the sound was louder and the playing more suitable, but i get that sometimes there will be recording/mixing issues etc. it's funny how many people in the comments think this is the only way these pedals can sound. of course with other equipment, irl, like if you tried them with your own rig, they'd sound totally different.

[@fritsvanzanten3573]

Fern = distant, far away, equivalent of tele-, weh = pain, longing, yearning. Heimweh = homesick. Fernsehen = television. Nice name.

[@dabradguy]

I love the look on their face like it's the most beautiful thing they have ever heard, but I just hear silence.

[@Gummmibaer]

Didnt have the best experience with this brand tbh. Waited months longer than announced and got a kaleidoscope that already broken before playing a single note. Unscrewed the back and there were already loose cables because the soldering was done poorly. All the knobs were turning crookedly. It was overall really noisy (might be because of the damaged solder joints or because the cables were mostly not isolated). Unplugging the Power cable further damaged solder joints... it looked like a diy project done with too little expertise. The builder offered to replace it but I got my money back because I didnt wanted to wait for months again to get a pedal that might break again in no time. This was way back so I hope they improved their quality since then. I guess otherwise andertons wouldnt stock them. Not meant as hate, just the experience I made.

[@JPTRFX]

yes we improved a lot to quality and build process in the last years

[@Gummmibaer]

@@JPTRFX good to hear, man! Didnt expect anything different since your stocked at andertons now.

[@reverendg5937]

First Impressions are hard to let go of. Hopefully JPTR gets another chance at your consideration and it's a success. Thanks for your totally honest experience without hate comment.

[@christofyre]

I had a very similar experience with Stone Deaf FX. Got a Fig Fumb and the second time I turned it on it didn’t work properly. It took over a month of repeated promises that they would fix it with no action to actually do so; no instructions on how to send it back to the manufacturer. Eventually I contacted the dealer for a refund. It would be really hard to convince me to try another of their pedals in the future. That said, I got a Kaleidoscope from JPTR FX just earlier this year, and I love it! Easily one of the three best pedal purchases I’ve ever made! I hope that if you like the aesthetic and sound of these pedals, you can get over your initial bad experience and give them another shot. And who knows? Maybe I’ll get over it and be able to give Stone Deaf another try! 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jasonstone8587]

Why are some people putting negative comments about Rob Chapman, he's not snooty or sarcastic, this review has got nothing to do with Rob, I like Rob alot he just tells the truth about a product and what he likes , I wonder if any of these negative people have got the balls to do what he's done over the past 5yrs.....there's a lot of people on KZbin that will review a product knowing full well it's a piece of overpriced crap and say it's good and people should buy it , just to line there own pockets , and Rob is very knowledgeable and generous with his knowledge and time.....

They're doing their best to troll him to the point he never comes back to this channel.

'Crazy. Absolutely crazy." For years I've been watching these boutique, whatever, my ass, pretty boxes that cost ten times as much as the old school pedals do precisely . . . . . what? one or two new things? Some of these beautiful turds can do so much and have so many knobs and switches that there's no way that you could ever realistically put more than one setting to use in a live situation. Unless you're Radiohead and can spare a member to spend an entire songe doing nothing but twiddling knobs and switches on it. They're cool. They're pretty. They're unnecessarily large on your board. These are priced pretty reasonably. But overall, boutique pedals are way overpriced for what you get. The main effect these boxes have is to drive up the overall price of pedals in general. Oh, and to make you look like someone who is far more interested in appearances than in utility. Congratulations. You spent 300 bucks on a shiny status symbol that makes that one weird sound that you use in that one weird song, or that you overuse with callous disregard for what's needed in your songs. Make them programmable and we'll talk.
