The Greatest Guitar Pedal Ever! - JAM Pedals Pink Flow

[@MoPomer]

It's a relief to find someone doing these kinds of demos who can actually play. Great touch and tone, long before you turn on the pedal. Subscribed.

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers Mo

[@TommySprocket]

I just got one of these and it's replaced six pedals on my board and I love it! So much more than just Floyd sound.

[@spyrosv7157]

Hi! Can I connect other overdrives on this?

[@ajh180]

This is really cool! I would love to see a pedal maker come out with a pedal based on Andy Summers/The Police.

[@weschilton]

Ever seen Longamp's Roxanne?

[@ajh180]

@@weschilton I have. Love to see a pedal with all his main effects crammed into one.

[@michaelheller8841]

Love Pink Floyd or not, this seems to be an excellent solution for me. I have too many boxes and patch cables lol. I've tried a lot of Modeling devices and returned all of them through time. I get that it's convenient and all, but still not the sound I want. This Pink Flow is all analog in which I prefer. I can also hear that it can do a lot more then just Pink Floyed tones. This is now on my bucket list, and hopefully will get me outta this rabbit hole iv'e been in for the last 35 years lol. Great demonstration on what this pedal can do, thank you.

[@mjf4394]

The only people who don’t love Floyd are those who have never listened ;)

[@trentc7329]

I would have to immediately strip the paint off that and relabel the switches. It's like looking at a 3d hologram poster. Even the knobs and indicator lines get lost.

100% agree!! Love his sparkly red Strat!!!

[@terrypussypower]

@@jankalinski5789 Yeah, but is it a genuine aged, and well used Strat, or one of those ridiculous “relic-ed” jobs?

[@kevycanavan]

The overdrive in this sounds unbelievable

[@SuperCMO79]

That just sounds absolutely glorious here!

[@jamiebriggs8277]

That's very cool. With so many people trying to get these sounds so often, having a unit built directly for it is great. I think my only complaint would be that it's a little difficult (at least looking at it on a screen like this) to keep track of which footswitch is which effect.

[@TheStudioRats]

I understand what you are saying and when I pulled it out of the box I sort of felt the same way. But honestly, after 2 mins you get it.

[@ladyluckdrums]

Sounds great! Saw the price tag and moved on, no where in my price range.

[@mrz80]

For something that'll get you at least some of the way there look at the Keeley Dark Side. It's currently sitting on my very short list of "things I'd want to add to the send/retrun loop on my multi." :D

[@thebreakfastmenu]

Yeah same. I mean, it's a lot for the price, honestly, though.

[@ddkeegs]

You'd love Keeley's Darkside workstation.

[@gedeon_teuzemany]

LOL How can we compare the two? One is digital with 4 effects, the other full analog with 6 independent effects. The Dark Side does not allow to use the delay at the same time as the modulation (WTF ???). The Dark Side is not ergonomic. The dark side has almost no interest next to this marvel.

[@ddkeegs]

@@gedeon_teuzemany all I can say is ...don't knock it until you try it. This analog pedal is cool too.

[@FRANKSNAKE71]

I would just point out that the Keeley Darkside is $299 as opposed to $1200! Is it worth it?

[@bustedfender]

So the picture of the tap doesn’t control the tap function? The picture of the llama represents overdrive? I don’t expect to have to ‘solve’ a pedal before I can use it. What does the bear on the tricycle do again?

[@esmoroglu]

You brought out the best of all available tones in this one again.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers as always Seyfi.

[@iadorasjourney]

The seagull effect is a wah effect inverted, means you turn the pedal upside down and plug the cable in the output plug first and connect the in plug as the output to the rest of the pedals chain... Tried it some years ago because I was hearing that Gilmour was probably using the foot to control the unit and make the "seagull" squealing and I was blown away by this discovery...

[@sroelit]

I just appreciate the artistry and creativity of Jam pedals-I know this multi-effects pedal has nowhere near the versatility of something like the Helix, but it’s got personality galore.

[@mattflickinger8151]

I mean, isn’t this 100 analog? That’s amazing

[@TheStudioRats]

It is completely analog

[@dustyparker4806]

Analog beats digital by a mile. Even as good as Helix and H9 are, up beside analog you can always tell a difference. Analog was around 1st. Just like amp sims can’t hang with real amps. Same principle.

[@davidwoods358]

A great selection of very good sounding effects. This one just might make me ditch my messy tangled up pedal board I keep plugged into my MK2 Katana. Very handy and great sounding indeed.

[@SRMoore1178]

Pink Floyd! This would be the only pedal I ever need! I wouldn't have to side chain six or seven pedals anymore which always adds more noise. Got a little depressed at the end because of the price. Maybe next year! Great demo!

[@harleymendez3968]

Sounds great BUT what would it sound like using a fender hot rod and a Mexican strat or Squier. Can it make the cheap everyday gear that all of us have sound as good as whatever vintage custom shop stuff you got?

[@gerhardschneider8733]

that explanation for the use of the seagull effect :) :) :) besides of that - great demo, great playing!

[@darwinsaye]

I think I would have switched out the chorus/ vibrato for a Leslie simulator. Can’t think of any example of Gilmour using a vibrato effect.

[@whatabouttheearth]

For y'all who like to use batteries, I use a Mission Engineering Power 529 USB Converter with an Aukey 20,000 mAh USB power pack battery. It can power several effects even if they don't take batteries, you just plug the pedal cables into the Mission 529 and plug it into the Aukey, and the Aukey can fit in your back pocket and the Mission in the other, I have mine with my effects in a metal briefcase. If you use this with something like a Roland Cube Street and a Goal Zero Boulder briefcase solar panel and a Goal Zero Yeti Solar "Generator" you can be 100% off grid in the woods.

[@BrettPapa]

Sounds awesome man! Well done!

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers Mr Papa!

[@davidhochevar6361]

This is super cool. But you can get an axe fx2 for the same price, maybe a used one. And I know the Axe fx is digital but that thing has infinite sounds plus sound patches that sound exactly like whatever band/song you want. Still, this is a cool ass analog pedal. Still, 1000 for 6 pedals essentially is kind of expensive.

[@harvywarlock]

Everything is "kind of expensive." If you were to purchase the Boss versions of each of these pedals it might actually cost you more 😉

[@peterkitts8815]

An average of £167 per pedal is not all that expensive. Certainly not cheap, but for these kind of pedals, totally reasonable.

[@kantina4765]

[@liloloswarn]

Impressive ! But where do you get your Reverb from ? 🤔

[@jeffkablock3229]

dude that is a cool pedal and man you jam good wow !

[@limpeacock573]

I love Jam Pedals and I thought the price was pretty reasonable for all the pedals that are packed into this thing. Probably not an impulse buy.

[@stuffjoeyloves]

The only thing is, it's quite expensive...it's over $900 from what I've seen. It is really a beautiful analog pedal solution, but for the price (or cheaper) you can achieve quite similar results with a combination of pedals and/or some digital multi-effects solution. I would be all over this if it were about half the price...but I think $900+ is a hard pill to swallow while knowing there are other good solutions out there for the same or less money.

[@geemac7267]

Only David Gilmour can afford it...and he doesn't need it.

[@abradfordajb]

Expense is minimized when you consider all the integrated effects. Add up all these effects as separate external pedals and the price may turn out to be a bargain.

[@bonedale]

Shop all those analog pedals from quality makers, wampler, jhs, etc and I think this is a bargain.

[@jonlangfitt]

Besides that, a violet rams head muff is closer than this muff circuit. Mostly comes down to the tone control values used in the RC networks. Much different scoop than other muffs.

[@kevinr.3542]

Pshhh..this is silly when you can just use a Line 6 Spider on "insane" and to get the perfect Gilmour tone

[@nealo814]

That's unlike any screamer I've heard and with a strat. Imagine a paul or p90s. Jam make some quality stuff. The delays are lovely. Nice guitar.

[@mattgilbert7347]

If only you could move the phaser pre-gain it'd be perfect. I guess I could add a second phaser, like a Phase90. E-Lady Flanger also essential

[@russtyruss_i-Invest]

For less than 1/3 the price I own a Korg Toneworks AX1500G which I purchased new early 2003, you can find used for around 200$ in good condition, is amazing and includes a wah pedal and has an auto-wah effect. The other five switches/pedals allow to toggle between two effects each. Look them up, KZbin has several reviews and sampling videos. One I really love is RobzFreak channel video : Cab Sim ShootOut AX1500G VS Behringer UltraG for lead sound Zoom, Line 6, Mooer and Boos seem to be the only others with half-reasonable units these days. I suggest shopping around thoroughly before investing in any pedals.

[@gedeon_teuzemany]

You know: somebody who wants analog effects wants ANALOG effects, so.... And THIS is handcrafted. We all know that Line 6 and others exists. If we are here, it's because we don't like digital multi-effect for lot of us. If I buy all 6 pedals separatly (from Jam), it's 1300$.... So it's a good deal, but you are not interested. That's all.

[@russtyruss_i-Invest]

@@gedeon_teuzemany yeah bud, depends on what each individual wants and can afford. You don't even know me and what other equipment I own lol I like the Korg because of the cab sims and the wah, I have other analog pedals. I also have a Boss BR1600CD console with other effects you won't find in other pedals. To top it all off I even have a PG Spark besides my Fender Deluxe 85 dual channel...and multiple other equipment which would take another 45 minutes of my time to list. Anyway, your personal choice I respect, respect mine. My point was not everyone wants to dish out 1500$ for a multi effect pedal even if it's entirely all analog and/or handmade, nor does every guitarist need to have all those analog integrated pedals. You may easily find that most guitarists use about 10-20% of their pedals regularly while the others are used for specific sounds in only a couple of songs. Angus Young, no pedals lol If you can afford it and you're happy with it, great! I watch a lot of reviews and enjoy sharing my experience 😎

[@russtyruss_i-Invest]

@@gedeon_teuzemany btw my price would be 1500 CAD BECAUSE I live in Canada and that's how much it would amount to after border fees and shipping costs.

[@gilesashley1299]

You couldn't get much closer to the gilmour sound. Very nice.

[@JohannesLabusch]

Sounds absolutely amazing. But. Jesus Christ, that design. I'm all for fun graphics, but would it have killed whoever designed this to create a LITTLE BIT of separation between the segments? Just a simple vertical line between the units would've done the trick. For a thousand bucks, I would ask for every aspect to be well structured and thought through, including the look.

[@manifestgtr]

[@jp7963]

Just got one of these a month ago but haven't seen this review until now which is a shame as it might have speeded me up! I did um and err as wasn't sure about having an expensive one singe big pedal. But I took the plunge and best decision ever. For me it works perfectly. Plus the cost factor needs to be addressed. Its actually too cheap! To get that flexibility and level of pure delicious tones with a power and connectivity simplicity (so nothing goes wrong) would cost thousands. This does it all but you can easily add something to it where you want to add it easily too. It really is a marvellous piece of kit. My only thought is its a mistake even to market it as a "Pink Floyd" pedal as it just isn't that its uses can be so wide and varied and may have put some potential users off. But hey what do I know, Jam seem to have it sussed, they certainly have their sounds sussed, they make many other "boutique" sound - i dunno the word - dare I say "mediocre" maybe?

I get the idea of saving money compared to buying all the pedals separately.....but that has 2 major disadvantages. 1 the pink flow limits you to the Jam Pedals effects it provides. I think by far most guitarists have / prefer a variety of brands of effects on their boards. 2 In case any given function of the Pink Flow should malfunction and you need to have it repaired...you immediately lose acces to all the other effects.

[@TheBlackStrat502]

Sick tones! What pickups are in your Strat?

[@abradfordajb]

This pedal is missing a Reverb, which would make it a complete, all-in-one structural "pedalboard". An extra $100 or so added to the price and an extra few inches to the size would NOT be a deal-breaker to me.

[@cfibanez]

It sounds like he is using reverb from the amp. There is definitely reverb in his sound, even in what he calls "clean" at the beginning.

[@peterliolis5482]

Apart from setting the delay to do reverb like delay ,there are not many dedicated analog reverb pedals apart from spring reverb
