Mark, I appreciate this video! It's awesome. I recently bought a Kilt, then a week later I saw the JHS video about The Violet. Now I own both…. for the moment at least. Can't decide. Thoughts on stacking? idk. I know I've got to figure it out myself, but your thoughts would still be appreciated.
FFS, enough with the “workflow.”
It sounds great and your demo is really good. Do you think can do JHS AT+ sound?
oh cool, so what is it a clone of?
as always, excellent video. I watch you, not just for the reviews, but to learn how to listen to, and describe, audio.
Excellent demo!
I’d love for them to put out a clean / low gain pedal with this feature set. The Violet doesn’t seem able to do a clean boost even with the gain way down, there’s still a lot of distortion there.
i love this pedal for the mid freq especially. like having a flavour that i could get a boogie tone out of my friedman IR-D. get the right frequency and boost or cut would get you really close. It's a sound engineer/guitarist dream.
That intro track…brilliant as always. I was hoping you'd review this one, since I knew you'd cover the low-to-mid gain range, and the full range of the mid control. Thank you!
Killer playing on this one, Mark.
Artificial Blonde not a drive pedal tho
absolutely killer sound in the beginning track man
kicking myself for not lifting that bass when I had the chance…
This pedal sounds great and your intro tracks are what keep me coming back every video… amazing melodies, riffs, playing and production! Thank you. JHS, please get Mark on!
A brand like JHS would do well to have someone like yourself as a paid consultant. You have an outstanding understanding of what you hear and why you're hearing it. For many channels it's little more than a collection of adjectives to sound knowledgeable but on this channel it comes from raw enthusiasm overlayed with some real in depth expertise. Good for you Mark
Definitely looking to snag one of these! Really loving the sounds!
amazing tones, thanks
As a predominantly jazz player….i am super excited by this pedal. Especially to get clean dirt.
Awesome intro, the perfect lunch accompaniment. ????❤
Can not wait
