Roland JC-40 and Boss pedals - a match made in heaven

An overview of classical sounds #roland #boss #rolandamps #bosspedals #bossofficial

[@RyanMcQuen]

Roland/Boss is amazing!

[@nazperalta1794]

Great video. I have a JC-22 with a Boss GT-100. The GT-100 takes a bit of time to get the settings right but it is a great combination

[@mantray6976]

I’m sure that combination is equally impressive!

[@jeffchaney692]

Great Demo. Billy Duffy is one of my Guitar Hero's as well. Cheers.

[@mantray6976]

That’s great to hear. I’ve noticed he’s recently gone back to using a JC-120 in his live rig.

[@squirelova1815]

"Classical" Dude! I totally agree.

[@SoloSi2024]

You could also add a little from the built in distortion to go with your overdrive pedal. Could be interesting!

[@mantray6976]

That’s quite right. I think the built in distortion is better than its reputation in these new models.

[@spivvo]

Great demo thanks? Was curiois to see how different it sounds to my cube 60. Seems pretty much the same although the cube it smaller.

[@mantray6976]

That’s very kind of you. I think Robert Smith of The Cure was using a couple of Cube 60s at some point.

[@robertmessinger6053]

Why have a chorus pedal on the board when you’re playing a JC amp?

[@mantray6976]

@@robertmessinger6053 That’s a fair point. There are more ways to adjust the chorus of a pedal. The chorus of the amp is of course much more lush, however.

Sir in the beginning you said something about preamp tube Do you mean that boss pedals? Are these pedals tube preamp? Sorry I'm in my first steps 😊

[@mantray6976]

Thanks for a good question. These Boss pedals are not tube pedals. I’m using a Hehku Roaster preamp tube pedal which has EF86 tubes. I’ve also tried Vox Valvenergy Mystic Edge which works ok. It is advisable to avoid strong overdrive settings in pedals when using this amp. It, however, takes soft tube colouring very well.

[@dimitris70]

@@mantray6976 Thank you And the preamp pedal goes first? Following by the other pedals?

[@mantray6976]

@@dimitris70 Again, a good point. I suppose most users would put the tube preamp first, then the other pedals and, finally, the actual amplifier. I don’t suppose putting the preamp after the other pedals would make a huge difference, though. You should usually put the signal reinforcing pedals, such as overdrive, boost and even compression in the beginning and in many ways a tube preamp is such a pedal.

[@Jxff]

Hmmm, trying to figure out what kind of guitar you got there.

[@mantray6976]

It’s an Arvo Original, handmade in Finland, with P90 pickups. A nice, lightweight guitar. I use it in most of my videos for consistency. www.arvoguitars.fi/in-english

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

Custom made speakers.

[@77zrod46]

Are you using a solid body guitar?

[@mantray6976]

Yes I am. The body of the guitar is poplar. www.arvoguitars.fi/in-english

[@Da_Publick]

This is kind of a 'cheat.' If Roland can't make pedals that sound good with their own amps, there's no hope for them. 😂

[@mantray6976]

@@Da_Publick That’s a fair point :)

[@carlos_al]

i dislike my jc40. too treblely

[@mantray6976]

Maybe a tube preamp could help?

[@savoirfaire8979]

Bruh. Simply turn the treble down. Also, deactivate the far left button.

[@Da_Publick]

Meanwhile, I'll assume you tried turning down the Treble already, and that you're referring to the fact that this amp was probably tuned brightly.

[@SHUTUPANDRECORD]

It’s not the amp.

[@mrmeme-jq6qr]

Sounds like someone turned the volume up on a cop horn

[@Jxff]

Way up

[@michaelhawkins6149]

Great video/review....Bravo!
