I missed out on getting the JHS one before it was discontinued, but I did grab the Jackson Audio one as soon as I saw it was available, and it is amazing. It is extremely responsive and rich sounding. It feels and sounds like playing a great amp rather than a pedal.
If you have the Jackson audio one. Ur good. I have the jhs12. It was Incredibly well perceived through this TH-cam sound. This recording of it sou dedicated exactly like my clean amp and settings at home. I was very pleased with all three of these pedals this shoot out. Now that I've seen that jhs fuzz in this video and Chis shiflett's pedalboard. I might get it one day
@@LikeigiveAFaboutU hey can you guys speak on the gain amount? In vids, it sounds so fuzzy but I just got this pedal and there is very little gain on tap. When I max it out and play my neck pick up on my Tele it is practically a clean tone, do you guys have similar experiences or do I have a dud?
@@adrianr2312 I have a jazzmaster neck pickup in my tele. When I play that pickup through my peavey classic 50w combo with that jhs12 on. It is very dynamic. I can have the gain turned up to 3o'clock, it still cleans up exactly how I need it to. You didn't get a dud. Unless you 100% did. Honestly that pedal is able to put out quite a beating. I use a tone job from EQD with the twin12 so it is smoothest out a bit. Somehow I can take treble away from the 12 at a perfect setting. Yet if I just turn the treble down in the jhs12. Then it just doesn't sound right. The twin12 pedal is very amp like. That eq really takes the treble and mangles it into something more palatable for me and my ears.
@@LikeigiveAFaboutU I see, thanks for the help! I am realizing that the fuzz like drive on the Jackson is not present unless the pedal is absolutely cranked loud, which kinda sucks because I play through a deluxe reverb with lots of neighbors around, so will likely have to find some sort of solution/compromise
I like the Jackson Audio pedal more. I could hear the string jangling a bit more. It seamed to definitely have more headroom for the muffelletta to go into it which ends up sounding more amp like and less like a pedal.
Crazy how low the knobs on the JHS one are compared to the Jackson Audio, and both getting the same sound. Thank you so much for the comparison. What kind of amp/guitar are you using?
Wow, the JHS cannot take being boosted *at all*. The Jackson takes it like a champ! Its like the difference between a great 50w tube amp and a small bedroom practice amp. Im gonna order a Jackson right now! Thanks for making me a lot poorer!
Is this being ran DI or into a solid state? I have been looking for an amp pedal that can give me that Tube Amp Breakup sound because I have a Roland JC and I have never used drives only very hard distortions and modulation through it. Also great demo dude!
I understand your opinion, but the idea is to simulate what Jack White used, both the JA 1484 and the JHS, simulates (or is a replica) the 60-Watt Silvertone Model 1484 Twin Twelve amplifier, therefore I'm trying to simulate the sound of a NY Big Muff throught this type of amp, like Jack did. Still, there are plenty of fuzzes that sound much better on an amp that's about to break.
Nice and to the point comparison. The Jackson Audio one seems to have a little bit more headroom, otherwise they sound the same. I already have the JHS one so I will not be getting the Jackson Audio version.
I believe you, I have a 1482 and it's quite different, but you have to remember that this sound is almost like the top volume like they used it in the recordings.
The Jackson Audio takes the high gain tone much better, the JHS sounded choked in comparison. This has been a very helpful video, thank you.

@@adrianr2312 yeah with the twin 12 from jhs. It does have playroom with the gain. You can get pretty low gain sounds as well as ripping.

I like the two different flavors of each one

I was using a Airline Town and country through a torpedo captor (twin reverb 73 IR) w/marshall origin on a super clean setting

not intentionally hehee
Very astute observation!

What pickups are you using? Humbucker?
I was using a Airline Town and Country, Alnico Hot-10 Humbucker pickup
Jhs wins this one for me, might just be the slightly higher gain level… think the fuzz worked better with the Jackson audio though!
Knew about the JHS but not the JA. The JHS sounds good but I much prefer the JA.
I have no idea why anybody would put a big muff into an already distorted sound.

what fuzz are you using? :O
Its a JHS muffuletta
@@TheGASStationYT it sounds monstrous. neat vid btw, really like the jackson rendition
The Jackson is cleaner and more focused more amp like but the jhs sounds good for his own take on it!Jackson has really nice products
Nice and to the point comparison. The Jackson Audio one seems to have a little bit more headroom, otherwise they sound the same. I already have the JHS one so I will not be getting the Jackson Audio version.
I have one 1484 and another 1482... Nothing sounds like the real deal...
yup. i have a 1485 and 1484, these pedals almost sound alien to me lol. silvertone should just reissue these amps like how supro did.
I believe you, I have a 1482 and it's quite different, but you have to remember that this sound is almost like the top volume like they used it in the recordings.
Jackson audio takes it. the jhs sounds too compressed
Jackson audio not even close!!
