God....I just love watching/hearing Jay rip it. Insanely good guitar player

[@chrismundayguitar]

61 princeton... love it... could chop away on that all day! Cheers Jay for the demo

[@jimmymarchisotto8152]

I gotta mention I love how you get into it full heart and soul when you like the tones! You are truly a showman! Love your jam faves! Thank you for all the great demo's!

[@daleguyer4883]

Got one from Thomann this week, Only took 3 days to ship to US. It has a permanent spot on the board. Fells very amp-like under the fingers. cleans up with touch or volume pot. all I can say is WOW!!

[@angrygoldfish]

Damn, I love that sound. That and Supro which has the same 'Don't crank me any louder or I'll pop!' sound. This is another contender against the Catalinbread Formula No. 55. They're both very similar. A couple of others I was looking at were the Supro Drive, Benson Preamp, Hudson Broadcast, and Mythos Chupacabra. They all basically do that fuzzy drive sound. Fantastic demo mate. Thanks for posting.

[@jimmymarchisotto8152]

I'm using the Lovepedal HIgh Powered Tweed Twin pedal for my cranked tweed deluxe sound. Have you checked it out? What's your opinion? On it?

[@angrygoldfish]

@@jimmymarchisotto8152 Not tried it, no. I'll have a look online to see what it sounds like.

[@orlfane1622]

I have them both the falcon is better .

[@derekbells]

We are not worthy! That was some insane insane playing. Must have watched that first part 30x

[@gab_ale]

Jay and Rabea are my favorite guitarists in KZbin. Can listen to them all day.

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Jay, you're a fuc*ing killer player dude! Loved this 👌🏻

[@z00zibot]

I really enjoy your demos! Crazy Tube Circuits did a great job capturing elements of the tone and feel of both old Deluxe circuits, and you brought that out with what and how you played. Impressive!

[@karl1914]

I swear you make every pedal sound amazing

[@roymontero4066]

Jay’s demo just sold me this pedal. Great job sir!

[@Unusednickname_1970]

You make great demos, and you’re an amazing player. I recently got a Falcon and I’m loving it. The Deluxe setting is a bit exaggerated in my opinion. The sag and loose bottom are part of the amp’s charm, for sure, but this pedal goes too far for me. Now the Princeton setting, wow! I’m blown away. Into a slightly dirty amp with the volume around noon it is glorious, and cleans up beautifully. I guess I’m using it more as an overdrive than an amp in a box, but I love the character and personality it adds. Killer demo, killer pedal.

[@nickshaw6085]

Dude, you've got IT in those hands!!! CRAZY tasty chops and tone!!!

[@JayLeonardJ]

I appreciate it! Thanks :)

[@melima9693]

My goal Tweed overdrive on bedroom volumes (not an easy one imo).Mission 100% completed.Thanks Mr. JLJ for this one YOU ROCK \m/

[@TeiscoCurlee]

Sounds great! The '55 side would sound cool with some Hound Dog Taylor type slide guitar I think!

[@davidbowen169]

Love your playing and the contrast of these two iconic amps. It would be interesting to have a foot switch to change between the two on the fly.

[@mikeroadblock]

Right?!

[@the-np4mr]

If you're willing to get creative with a drill, you probably could

[@ebensf]

55 tweed side. Love the clean and woofy tones

[@buddhamus]

Great review. Nice demo on what this pedal can do. I love the tweed ('55) side, but it's the Princeton ('61) side that sells it for me. Loved your playing on this one. Great looking Tele too. I've added this pedal to my want list. Thank you for this.

[@JayLeonardJ]

61 is my favorite side too 👍

[@garygamble1963]

Wow Jay. You just killed it man! I'm getting one of these!

[@isaacjohnson.]

Jay you are outstanding! Awesome playing, amazing ability to pull out lots of sounds, and styles. Pedal sounds great.

[@Vocalio3000]

I'm the lucky one and I have that old 6G2 Princeton (black version from 1964). The parts are almost all changed (tubes, transformers and condensers) but the sound is the same as it was before the changing, even better I would say. I've heard demo even on another channel and I must say that the '61 mode really has that 6G2 feel.

[@nicolasdelcastillo6497]

I can't imagine this guy having to edit a single blooper out of his playing.

[@dezionlion]

How about with some reverb?

[@dezionlion]

Cleans right up like a fuzz

[@jodysanders1111]

I can watch any of your videos,especially after having a bad day,and it doesn't take long before I feel good again. Your playing is so diverse and energetic,it just has that effect. By the way,both are great tones to work with,but I like the brightness of the '61 side.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thank you so much. As much as the gear is fun, it's the community here that makes all the work worthwhile 🤘

[@thomasbroughton4635]

Bro-don't stop rocking - I watch for the energy- cuz I'm a bassist who needs to know what rockin is

You're fire, nuff said. Cheers from Portugal

One of the best new players ive founnd on you tube!

[@deanallen927]

Alright J, another great pedal, another great demo.

[@aperreado]

Me encanta como suena y me encanta como lo haces sonar tu. Saludos

[@moosemuseum1853]

My heart lives the Tweed a little more, but I really dig the Princeton and will actually use it a lot more.

[@GobiPup]

Intro is in Bb Minor..already sets the video apart (many Pedal demo videos are in A, E, G, D or C) also it doesn’t need to be said that the playing and tone is really great too. 🙂

[@jimmymarchisotto8152]

Great demo by a great guitarist and teacher! Love those old tweeds! I'm using a love pedal the high powered tweed twin pedal I like it too!

[@wickerman95]

3:56 I’m just gonna steal that blues run right there

[@JayLeonardJ]

Feel free to steal it all!

[@druwk]

Another great review. Love your playing.

[@MrRyocks]

Literally watching you perform at the canucks game. Nicely done!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Hey!!! Thanks for watching!

[@robb4340]

That is some tasty playing and awesome tones. Love the tone of the tele too. Great Channel BTW, love your demo's and also because of your playing style.

[@pvdmac]

Brilliant Demo, Fantastic guitar playing.

[@MrTDembinski]

Both sound sweet. Would depend on the mood of the day I suppose. Great demo

[@BenCoombs]

Some cool vintage tones in that box!! Thanks for sharing man!!

[@supermariozombies4824]

I have to go with the 55. Just love that raunchy sound with a tele.

[@charlesrussell4295]

I have a new favorite KZbin guitarist

[@haloskater24]

Only pedal I’ve heard that’s this good for Tweed/Brownface clean AND dirty tones is the Fairfield Circuitry Barbershop. I’m shocked you haven’t reviewed this one since you’re Canadian :) great video!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Yeah, I've surprisingly not tried the Barbershop but I do hear it is awesome!

[@haloskater24]

@@JayLeonardJ Oh man you should, the sag knob is what makes it stand out. There’s about 4 V1’s on Reverb right now if you are ever looking.

[@sam127001]

both sounded good (great playing !) but i'm drawn more to the '61 side !

[@paulvsmith]

Great demo, as usual, thanks!

[@vikingsofvintageaudio7470]

You are absolutely fantastic! I hope you never have a bad day in your life, seriously! 😁👍

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!!

[@thomasd9237]

Okay not saying the tweed wouldn't be fun cause it would, but that '61 sound is sweet. Now if I could just borrow your fingers... Thanks for another great review :-)

[@JayLeonardJ]

The 61 is actually my fav setting on this box :)

[@coreyclark6505]

That ‘55 setting sounds fantastic

This guy is on the good stuff 💊

[@ashrafimaduddin8162]

Fuck, I'm sold.

[@floydthebarber71]

This demo was simply perfect, thanks for this. I'm just worried that that beast of an amp had a lot to do with that impeccable tone!

[@orlfane1622]

The amp and those $500 hand wound boutique pups are surely part of that great tone he's getting.

[@floydthebarber71]

dill doe yeah for sure. I bought the pedal anyway!

[@orlfane1622]

How do you like it? I have the Catlinbread 55 and the mad Professor Little Tweedy. They are both really good. I was thinking of getting this falcon as well as I am a big fan of this type of sound.

[@floydthebarber71]

dill doe I should get it by next week so I'll know then! I chose this pedal after seeing clips of the Formula 55, this one seems to approximate the sag effect and craziness better, but also had the option of the '61 side. It also cleaned up really well with the guitar volume in this vid. Hoping to experience the same on my rig!

[@imlostinthewoods]

floydthebarber71 I'm looking forward to hearing what you think. I ordered mine today:-)

[@jamesha175]

nobody ever looks as excited about playing as this guy does

[@svobotnik]

Great tone and playing man! Love the Low-OD sounds with the tele, which one do you prefer between that and the True North Pedals Tweed Drive for dynamics and touch sensitivity? Hope all is well in that crazy period..

[@druwk]

If this was my only tone engine, I would go ‘55...but, I have Fuzz, so I dig the “Motown” vibe of the ‘61

[@Handyandy747]

Saw you ripping it up at the Roge!!! Go Canucks!!!!

[@JayLeonardJ]

Thanks!!

[@zman-ohio]

Thanks for throwing a bit of buckers in there ;)

[@-thirteen]

You've got the rocknroll in you

[@theirishviking9928]

Chops for days! So entertaining

[@fenderosa]

Sound really great.

[@Prettynoise]

61 for me JayLeonardJ. That crisp vibe is awesome. I would dig playing some first album Joe Jackson. Listen to the album and let me know what you think J.

[@chrisfarraday1403]

Diggin the 61’

[@andrewlikesguitar]

“which feels nice on my thumbs ...”

[@JInfinity7]

Great playing...but I haven't heard any Neil Young riffs yet (I think). Penalty for not doing so with tweed tones.

[@alexwong7]

Boght one (thanks JLJ - poorer again thanks to you ;) ) Loving it but so torn between this and my Bearfoot Uber Bee. Both do that saggy tweed sound so well. Different but both brilliant.

[@imlostinthewoods]

Alex Wong glad to hear you like the pedal, I ordered mine today. I hope it has continued to meet your expectations.

[@LittleRapGuy]

cool demo

[@mathewsheffield5509]

Sounds just like my Tyler Amps 20/20 haha

[@tubularbill]

I have to get one!

[@shanedeel2]

Love the faces.

[@gab_ale]

Both sound good, but I go with the Tweed.

[@p2curtis]

I love the sounds you get!!. Do you have any tips on using this pedal??? Do you have any post production effects?.

[@JayLeonardJ]

Only guitar post production is a little hi-pass on my guitar track. Get the tweed sound a bit past the edge of breakup and play as soft as you can: it'll sound amazing.

[@EduardoLSchmidt]

Jay, if you have to choose a pedal for boost the Falcon, With tipe of pedal do you will to prefer? A TS like, mid boost, treeble boost, klon like?

[@mattwestcott1663]

I wanna put it in front of my 5e3 and try it as an immitation of the amp for low level practice

[@likeanuuk6612]

oh this is really nice

[@hosoiarchives4858]

You are fun to listen to bro

[@_itsmikeroberts_4044]

Sounds great man, does anyone think this would sound good going into a 5f1 circuit specifically a Goodsell Champton Plus?

[@nathannorton2093]

Anyone have any experience stacking this thing? I absolutely hate the wooly bottom end giving up the ghost sound, but love the rich semi-nasty Tweed. Wondering how it sounds pushed or pushing something else.

[@supermariozombies4824]

I just got mine yesterday. This is a great sounding pedal and is the best tweed in a box pedal I have. I own the Wampler Tweed 57, Catlinbread Formula 55 and the Mad Professor Little Tweedy. The Falcon is the best. It's not supposed to a have a lot of sustain like a fuzz pedal has but I'm sure you could get that with some sort of boost before it. I haven't tried stacking it yet. I've been having way to much fun exploring what the pedal can do on its own.

[@MSwanson514]

Trying to decide between this pedal or the Catalinbread Formula 55. Which would you recommend?

[@JayLeonardJ]

Both do great 5E3 pedals, but I do prefer using the brownface setting on the Falcon rather that going for the 5E3 sounds, so I guess the Falcon may be my choice :)

[@Vinylhead66BlogspotDe]

your precise and sloppy playing at the same time is the best show in you tube since the atom bomb or the bikini !

[@flannsixtyseven7489]

Superawesome

[@BellTunnel]

Sounds great. Any sense of how it compares to Catalinbread’s Formula No. 55?

[@orlfane1622]

I have them both I like the falcon better

[@BellTunnel]

dill doe I bought the Falcon about a week ago. It’s definitely a keeper.

[@robertrand8665]

OK good but no Cigar. It has a decent smooth tube sound, but no more than a TS808. The one thing not mentioned everywhere is that there is no 9V battery in this unit. It requires an external 9V 40ma power brick/cube with a +( - ) connector. So if you play 10-15 feet in front of your amp you need to find an extra outlet besides you amp and then run a long length of wire to power it. The pedal could be great, but that will be a sure show stopper for most. I paid 185.00 us for it and then returned it. For the money I will look for a TS808.

[@harveycan5820]

I agree. It sounds good like a lot of pedals do. At a certain point they all become another buzzy box. This one has some nice tonality when cleaner, but this guy would make anything sound good. I'm looking at a love pedal Les Lius pedal, I think the tweed deluxe/tweed twin sounds are even better than here. Falcon pedal not easy to find!

[@orlfane1622]

@@harveycan5820 I had both got rid of the Les lius. The falcon is better.

[@davidteissier5704]

[@matteofroio83]

61 switch is Ryan Adams in a box

[@timyuhasz9468]

Would you use that as a leed boost?

[@neilmclaurin6936]

Does this pedal add or remove low end to your base tone?

[@binface9]

'61 ftw

[@laranjiinha77]

How does the Falcon on 61 mode differs from the stardust? Thanks

[@JayLeonardJ]

Hi, Falcon is going for the more crunchier brownface sound; Stardust is that edgy driven blackface tone!

[@BellTunnel]

I want to buy it. Can’t find it for sale online. What’s the release date in the U.S.?

[@JayLeonardJ]

I think you can get it direct from the Crazy Tube Circuits website :)

My problem with this review is that every review of this pedal sounds great when the reviewer is plugged into a great amp. In this case a badcat, with its legendary or soon to be legendary clean channel. One review of this pedal with a so-so amp and this pedal sounded crappy. Great pedal……but, great amp not included.
