Just got to say this is the best demo of the Jan Ray ive seen.Man have you put in a massive amount of work and it shows Thank You and much appreciated Cheers👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 And Subscribed
Sure, no problem! Unity gain refers to the point where a pedal's output signal matches its input signal in volume. In other words, it doesn’t boost or reduce the volume compared to when the pedal is bypassed. Let me know if that clears it up :) Cheers!
I have the Jan Ray. I love it. I want to get my hands on one of the tubescreamers they did with Ibanez. That fuzz they make too. Myriad fuzz I believe.
I have the Myriad Fuzz and the TSV808 and both are incredible. Expensive obviously but I loved the Jan Ray and had the try the other two. I basically just sold a bunch of decent pedals I wasn’t using for a couple of great pedals I’ll never sell. That’s how I look it at at least.
I used to have 4-5 drive pedals on my board. After a while you get option paralysis. Now all I have is a Jan Ray with an MXR EQ after it followed by a boost to crank my matchless Lightning amp. You can get great, great sounds with just that. Still trying to find the right saturation level
Personally undecided between the Jan ray or the Pete Cornish CC-1. Looking for something to get my Fender super reverb into edge of breakup territory without going too loud. Thoughts? Seems to me the CC-1 has a wider bandwidth, but cant comment if its true to a blackface breakup type of sound
This was an awesome demo and great playing. The mids seems slightly higher on the jan Ray to me but only in the last comparison. How would you take the mids down/boost them? I’ve just got one and this video was extremely helpful! Thanks, Tim
Thanks! The Jan Ray doesn't give you control over the mid, but depending on what you're looking for, an EQ pedal would probably be helpful to shape your mids before the signal hits your amp.
hey! nice demo. I just got this pedal. It's extremely sensitive when I turn the volume knob. Even just slight increase and the volume of my entire rig gets extremely loud. My amp is only at maybe volume 1 or 2...do you know if this is normal or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
It's alright, you don't need to apologize. To each their own. Those are some very different pedals (Box of Rox is a Marshall-style distortion. Vemuram is a light gain transparent drive). Keep having fun with that Box of Rock!
Electric Mojo Guitars is JR supposed to be transparent? I didn’t find it transparent at all. In fact, I sold it because it imparted this “old time radio” kind of midrange quality to everything sort of like a Klon
Mr. Spock What settings were you using? The Jan Ray’s quite transparent. But, as with any pedal, it would depend on how you tweak everything. A Klon can be super transparent also, the trick is to keep the gain knob below 25% and the volume knob pretty high (past 50% for me). This way, you’re hitting your preamp tubes for some nice, extra sustain and some natural compression.
@@ElectricMojoGuitars BOR is a marshall and vemuram its a tweed in the box. But the feeling.. oh man, the feeling of the bor is a pure valve amp and a goooood one! ;)

That was one of the sickest demo intros I've ever heard. Keep it up bro! Sounds amazing
I hear some Boston tunes 😁

Great demo, great playing, great pedal. ✌
Thanks :) Glad you enjoyed the vid!
00:04:18 Thanks for nice demo video. can you explain what is unity gain ? "unity gain on the volume knob is around 9'oclock "
Sure, no problem! Unity gain refers to the point where a pedal's output signal matches its input signal in volume. In other words, it doesn’t boost or reduce the volume compared to when the pedal is bypassed. Let me know if that clears it up :) Cheers!
@ElectricMojoGuitars I got it. Thanks for your kind comment!
Incredible intro! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks! Glad you liked the demo.
Great ! 😃

@@jordandangelo180 I’m about to do the same thing. Myriad fuzz is my next purchase.

Great demo! Just subscribed to your channel. What’s that Strat you are using? An American original 50s?
Thanks! I think Stu's Strat is a 1959 AVRI.
Is Saturation trimmer at minimum at the end? it would be very helpful ,thanks
The saturation trimmer was kept at the factory setting for this vid :)

Congrats on the new pedal. Regarding the volume, what settings are you using on the pedal?
@@ElectricMojoGuitars going to message you on instagram!
Slide tone sounds very Derek trucks
I have that pedal and the MA edition too, but my Box Of Rock kils both.. sorry.
