- Lets take a closer look at the Harley Benton American TrueTone pedal.
A truly understated pedal in my opinion .
Since most of my guitar playing friends are at home..check this out..
One of the best Jimmy Hendrix documentaries I've seen so far.

Man your playing is just fantastic
Thank you!!
Yeah, it is pretty ridiculous. I think you could plug in to a pile of crap and it would sound good when you play like that.
For what its worth, there are some really painful high frequencies coming through during your playing. I don't know if its your interface, or your compression/limiting, or just the raw sound of the pedal? I think it is too much compression.
All the best!
I'm still enjoying the Harley Benton SC450 P90 that I bought after I've seen your videos and your resumes of other HB guitars:) Took a chance and I'm a HB believer nowadays:)
Glad you liked it.. have you done any modifications to it yet??
@@JonIsJustTooLoud No mods except for some polishing of the frets and a set of Elixir strings and some basic setup of string height and so on.
I love this pedal! It is not going to leave my board :D
I have gigged with it day in, day out and it's pure joy. The price is absolutely ridiculous and I am glad that you showcased it again.
Be safe, Jonathan! (:
Couldn't agree more! you too!!!✌❤
Thanks for the link to the Hendrix socumentary, I will watch it with interest! Best wishes from Barcelona!
Take care and stay safe ✌️❤️
I can listen to you all day. No one sounds like you on YT. Much love from the UK
Thank you so much James. I’m so sorry for the loss of so many people in the UK. Stay safe.. stay strong✌️❤️
Wow! I can listen your playing all day long.
Thanks man.. stay safe ✌️❤️
Told you.... About time!! Good to see you still doing videos. Stay safe and healthy
lol!!! what do you think i was going to do???
ah wait a minute!! you were the one who told me!!!
✌🤓
Jonathan Koh, yep. As I said at the time, it's certainly not going to replace the helix, but as a backup in the gigbag, you could do worse.
Excellent job! I will go check out that pedal and throw it in with my next guitar. I may have gotten lucky as Thomann got me a guitar I ordered about 2 weeks ago. And much to my wife’s dismay I will get my 3rd shipment from Sweetwater this week tomorrow! Loved the vid. Cheers!
hahahah yea..you are blessed!!! Better keep stuff that the wife might be throwing at you with!! lol
Nice story about how you experienced new ways to use the pedal 👍🏻 I have had one for a couple of years, and i only use it in my studio.
Cool!! ✌️❤️
As always, tasteful playing! Simply LOVE you getting this kind of quality tones on an HB guitar with an HB pedal. It shows again that gears are just tools serving a musician.. and HB gear are pretty unbeatable on the “bang for the bucks” category.
Thank you ✌💚
Glad you revisited that Jonathan awesome demo, That Warm Tone is perfect clean Overdrive gonna get one for me and a Buddy, Take Care and Be Well /////
You too brother.. stay safe!!
Awesome Jonathan...really great guitar licks. Thanks man...going to buy one tonight.
Thank you Dennis.. ✌️❤️
Great playing, as always, Jonathan! That pedal produces a really good sound! Will definitely buy. Thanks!
Enjoy! and it's so affordable too!!
Thanks for the video. I always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Thanks, you too!✌❤
Nice sound, fantastic guitar player🎸🎸.You rock 💎
Thank you✌️❤️
will buy this guitar soon . This Pedal on my order right now. :-)
✌️❤️
Great guitar work Johnathan! Always enjoy listening!
Thank you kindly!✌❤
Thanks for the review! I ordered one of these a week ago. I’m hoping to set my board up so I can run direct to the house from it and not need to port my amp back and forth. Sounds like this will fit the need very well.
Have fun!✌🤓
Awesome, I just stumbled across this video, amazing, I’m buying one, super thankful! Anyways, I used to work in SG for 10 years in SPH Straits Times, lived in East Coast rd to Genting Lane areas! Missing the makan so much❤❤❤
Very cool! Thank you.. Hope you have subscribed!!✌️❤️
Jonathan, love that intro awesome guitar chops.
Thank you!
Hi Jonathan, glad to see you keep safe. I have of these pedals: 1 is AC true tone that, I used with an Ibanez TSA15 ( tube amp with very transparent tone) before I found a used Vox AC15, that pedal offers a very good simulation of the Vox AC, 15 or 30 on turning the vouce button. The 2nd pedal is the purple color brit tone, simulating a Marshall, voice button going from a Blues Breaker tone to JCM to modern JVM, I compared it to a Marshall 2525C that I used to have, and simulation was pretty good too. I expect the orange American tone has a voicing going from Fenderish tone to a Mesa Boogie tone. By the way , the Ibanez TSA15 is a very good and affordable tube amp, I kept it while selling the Marshall.
hahah I'm glad you are keeping busy brother!! Stay safe!✌❤
Sounds good Jonathan. Keep rocking!👍👍🎸😎
Mike Naykki thank you Mike! ✌️❤️
I always enjoy your videos and Love Love Love to hear you play. Stay safe my friend. Wash your hands often: keep at home if you can and May God wrap his arms around you during this unprecedented time.
Thank you dear brother!! You too! God bless✌️❤️
Thx, Jon. Keep going your amazing👍👏
Thank you so much!!✌❤
I bought one after your last video. After your intro song for this video, I think I'm supposed to buy a few more!!!!!!!! Man you play great!!!!!!
Glad you like them! hahahah
You are always inspiring Jon. I just got this pedal and really like how it makes my LT25 sound. If I use reverb, Trem and delay pedals, what order should I put the pedals in front of the amp?
Trem- delay - Reverb
Hello, sir! maybe you can show us how to easy record guitar using some easy to use programs. Thanks for the videos! Have a nice day!
We'll see...Thanks for suggesting ✌❤
I've been considering getting the TrueTone. I recently bought the HB Classic Chorus and I'm quite impressed by that one.
Also a Harley Benton fan :)
Its. an no brainer...cheap and good!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud That's how we like it :D
Henrik Jørgensen lol
Great videos. Great player and modest guy!
Thank you kindly!
Hi,nice Sound, i have in the time my Computer was down i work on my HSS Strat and polish the frets and make the intoneation and install new Strings the Ernie Ball Cobalt fantastic Strings and now i have a guitar whit Trem to greetings Detlev.
Very nice!✌❤
Great video thanks Jonathon!!!
Glad you liked it!
Hey Jonathan, nice video! I used to have the Joyo version, called American Sound. It's a rip off of the Tech 21 Blonde pedal from their Character series... It sounds great! cheers
Yes they are known as JOYO too...🤓
Amazing intro Jonathan. I’ve had bad luck with HB pedals and I suspect my homes supply. They all whine badly even when off but they are great value when they work. Thanks for another great one.
My pleasure Tom!!! ✌❤
I love when people do budget gear reviews. Because that's what I buy :-) Cheers Jonathan!
You and me both!
Man your playing is stunning!
Thank you!!
DHL jacked up shipping rates from Thomann to the US and I expect getting a timely shipment is probably not very good. I expect some shipments got onto passenger aircraft that had unused capacity and that has gone away for a while.
Harcourt Mudd yes the delivery dates that I was accustomed to from Thomann are all shot..
Great tone!! Thanks Jonathon!!
Glad you like it!❤
I love this pedal, fantastic player! What is the difference between a Joyo American and this Harley Benton?
None✌💙
Amazing guitar playin 💫
Thank you✌️❤️
Great tone Jon, no doubt. But your phrasing is always novel and on point. You have a fantastic way of expressing what you feel that isn't predictable and doesn't bore the listeners ear.
I'm still amazed there is not a Jonathan Koh instrumental CD that I can purchase. I'm telling you, I'm a fan. you gotta make that happen. TAKE MY MONEY!!!
As always...good vibes to you.
Steve Smith it’s on my mind at the moment.. but we’ll see.. thank you steve for your kind encouragement!! You take care!! ✌️❤️
I've got to get that guitar. I am on a journey from acoustic to Electric. Maybe you could do a video on some things to think about when making this change. I'm 62 years old and I've been playing mostly acoustic all these years. The idea of changing up is daunting to me. Any hints?I had a freind give me his old Line6 spider V amp with the samplers built-in.
Just do it brother...you are not going to know until you try it yourself. ✌❤
Thanks for recommendation Jonathon, I would probably just buy the AMERICAN Joyo pedal as the Thomann pedal is just a rebadged Joyo and it simulates the Fender tone. I am leaning more towards the ACTONE as I like the Vox AC30 tone much more. Joyo has a full line of them with the Cab Sim. As always, excellent review!
Yes they do!! Thanks Bob!
Nice Review Jon! Sounds great! Please let me ask you if you would Review the NUX Cerberus Multieffects Pedal? Thomann has it in stock. I would really like to hear and see your thoughts on it as I’m considering buying it. Thank You so much! Have a Great Day, stay Safe and Healthy my Friend! Cheers from Northeast Ohio USA.
Hey rick.. check out the Line 6 Pod Go instead!!
Jonathan, if you had to choose between these two which one would you choose? 1. Harley Benton TE-40 TBK Deluxe Series or 2. Harley Benton Fusion-T HH Roasted FNT . Thanks.
The latter.. it’s the best HB I’ve owned. In terms of sound and playability. Needs some setting up✌️❤️
Thanks J. Glad you are a believer in Christ. Have you ever heard of Roby Duke? Are you on facebook?
Like your "rocking" side, very skilled playing as usual. Think to remember that there is a british and AC 30 pedal too. Jojo or Harley Benton, i think thats more my cup of tea. Thanks for the demo and stay healthy 😷
Thank you Guenter!! Take care!✌🤓
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I've grabbed my about 20 years old Line6 Pod 2.0 - it can do all of these pedals - and more! No one will be disturbed :-)! Stay healthy and Thank you again ☮️
Jon, your series of whammy bar dives at 2:17 is a hot licks that I am going to steal. Hahaha 🤘
Steal away brother ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Yeah 🤘.
Great sounding pedal...and so inexpensive...wow! And great playing as always!
Thank you kindly!
Sounds amazing! Great price!
Glad you enjoy it!
Its now €30 in Europe Jonathan I think every time you do a fantastic video they put the price up LOL.
Lol really???
That line of pedals is sold here in the states under the Joyo brand.
Yes they are
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Looks like Ammon has the some of the same pedals on Amazon. I ordered a "American" one just for research.. Research now means recreational shopping. :)
It’s branded under several names it seems ✌️❤️
Ho, Jo Koh, I´m in AWE, Maestro!
hehe thanks!!✌❤
Very good pedal !!!
Indeed it is!✌❤
Thank you....Hugs...Tim n Tina.
You are so welcome✌❤
Hi Jonathan! this being an "analog" amp+cab sim. how does it stack against "digital" amp/cab modellers found in zoom, mooer and hotone?
hahah this is not analog..its just emulated tube. Cant compare as the other units have more options..✌❤
@@JonIsJustTooLoud it is an analog pedal as it uses resistors and capacitors to produce the amp sound. i was referring to the Vox amp sim found on digital modelers if this one sounds better. comparing say the VOX AC30 emulation from ZOOM G5N?
This guy can rip and the pedal sounds great
✌❤
Hey Johnny, great playing, what's the difference between the American and British pedal? stay safe brother 👍
Different modeling..The american model features the emulation of american made
amps (Fender and Mesa) and the british one feature british amps like the VOX and Marshalls✌❤
Do you like that Wilkinson bridge over the Floyd Rose? Love your playing! So tasteful 🔥
Yes I do!✌❤
Nice vid! Got me one of these but it makes a very noticeable hissing noise even when turned off making it unusable on my board. Too bad as it has the full rack of tones going for it.
i see...✌💙
Most of the time I can't stand it when somebody touches the 'whammy bar'. So much so that I play hard-tail guitars because I suck at it as well (I'm a beginner). You make it sound good.
Still aspiring to become a player, and always enjoy hearing you in these vids. Thanks for the inspiration and hope to see you next time you're in the states.
Touch the bar..it would not make you blind! lol. Thanks man..yea..hopefully after all this madness is over...Where are you from?
Excellent my friend. Oh man. I want to get one of those guitars. Hahahah
You should! lol!!!
Where should i place on my pedalboard? As last ? Or in the beginning of my pedal chain? Thanx for your kind reply.
Before your time based units✌🏻
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thank you so much, i will follow your suggestion. Have a nice day , Patrick from Italy 👋
@@patrickbuzzo1970 prego❤️
Have you tested any combinations that makes a slight dirt overdrive to engaging two at the same time for a hugh gain sound?
Yes.. many in fact.. in the past ..✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I’m from the most part using Helix floor now, but I want som variation with analog gear. Any to recommend?
Just been looking up the Mosky plexi pedal that gives a Marshall type tone. 16 euro on Aliexpress !! But this one seems a capable contender !
There are a couple of variations..Malcolm..Check them out✌❤
Dear Jonathan. Thanks for the next interesting review. I'd like to ask for your advice regarding my gear using mainly at home. I use: Fender Telecaster Player, Mooer GE 200 and PreSonus Eris E4.5 4.5-inch, 2-way, High-Definition Active Studio Monitors. Sound is very nice but signal send by my guitar through GE 200 is weak (relatively silent even if i turn master volume on. Very often I play with backing tracks). Can I use something affordable to strengten signal of my guitar? Thanks a lot for you help.
Hi Robert... It should not be this way...I'm suspecting that the output is faulty unless the rest of your guitars are the same. Then it could be the cords or something faulty with the GE200 input settings. Make sure that there is no Pad activated.✌❤
Jonathan Koh thanks for your response. I modified some settings in GE 200: increased amp simulation volume to 85%, activated pure boost to 85%. It is much better now
Nice review Jonathan ! You can buy these pedals also from JOYO.. that's exactly the same as Harley Benton, only another name. Check AliExpress or Ebay. I'm curious what your background in music is Jonathan. I mean, you don't have a Berklee College in Singapore i guess ? You're a stunning player. You should make a DVD Course man. I mean it. Greets from Belgium and keep safe !
Hi Bruno..Yes i know. Its from Joyo and Harley Benton is selling them under their brand thru some agreement. I am basically self taught..no formal music education even though I yearned for one in my earlier years. But no money= no school. So I stayed in Singapore playing in bands..and progressed to being a recording engineer/session player/arranger/songwriter/producer.🤓
Thank you for your encouragement! Keep safe too!!!✌❤
Excellent...
Thank you Will!!!✌❤
If you enjoy these "amp in a box" pedals, I highly recommend Tech 21. I use the Tech 21 Blonde as my clean amp, with an overdrive or two going into it and reverb/delay after. My sound has never been better, and I can plug directly into the board. No more amp, and the sound guys at church loved me!
I use the Tech 21 Flyrig RK5 v2 in church ✌❤

@@JonIsJustTooLoud Sweet! I'll got check that out :)
This is a clone of the Tech 21 Blonde afaik
Awesome 🎼👊🏻😊
Glad you like it!
When you first started playing, I just thought it had a Hendrix vibe to it, wow 🤩. Man you could gig with that pedal alone. You seem to playing that HB a lot these days, is there any particular reason for it? Thank you Jonathan 👍
Its just the backing track that made me play that way...I did not listen a lot to Hendrix when I 1st started playing... As for the guitar..I just like playing on it!! But i'm still loving my G&Ls and the others lol
I noticed after making my comments you put a link on a Hendrix video, perhaps after seeing it it may have influenced you? I tried plugging my Line 6 pod V2 into my Boss Katana 50 to see how it sounded, after watching this video. I’ve only ever used it going into my Audio interface before. Well I was quite disappointed, in that the AMP on its own sounded much more full and just nicer sounding. I next need compare recording a mic to the AMP and the Line 6 pod V2 direct. I think I can record direct on the Katana too via USB, so lots of variables. I may just get a G & L guitar one day, I know you like them a lot.
Joyo has produced these first before Harley... Get em on ebay. Or Amazon
Be Mee they’re just rebranded by Harley Benton and being sold at Thomann. I think it’s safe to say everyone knows it’s Joyo.
I was going mention the same thing.
Yes that's what I meant to say , yes you're correct
Like you, greetings from Germany and Take Care in Singapur !
Danke~!! Pass auf!! Gott segne✌🤓
Jonathan. Hope you are doing fine and staying well, frome all this Covid 19 that's all around the world. So many people have pass away from their love one's I pray for everyone around the world take care. Lol TroyFrost
Yes...its really sad when you look at the rate of fatalities...😪 I weep most-time i watch the news...Yo stay safe Troy! God bless✌❤
Saa-weet guitar and playing ...
Thank you Douglas!
Have you done any demos of hollow body guitars? Which ones do you use? Thank you.
I dont understand your question...on this pedal???
I’m so sorry....I was not clear. My question has nothing to do with the pedal....🤓. Sometimes the goof on me takes over. Sorry.
By the way....you are an amazing musician. God given talent for sure!
Hi john pls recommend me some studio monitors for my zoom g5n
You have to shop around...brother. Things to consider..budget, and size of the speakers.
great
✌❤
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
are these the STOCK pickups?
Yes they are ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thanks, jon. I might go for the black one. Both are nice. Cheers.
reverb pedal before or after?
After..✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud ❤
Joyo pedals are great I’ve used this pedal for months it’s better than a pedal three times the price .
nice!!
Hi :)
Good morning!
I watched the latest documentary on Eric Clapton last year and I was not impressed with his lifestyle. It was really sordid. Same with Jimi Hendrix. All the drugs, alcohol and women they went through almost killed Eric and finally did kill Jimi. What can I say? We were all pretty stupid when we were younger. I'm glad EC found a wife and family for his life. I hear that he is very happy now, but the "rock star" lifestyle is a very bad illusion that takes a lot of lives every year.
Yea..I understand...It gets pretty bad once drugs are involved...I'm just glad that God kept me out of the nasty part of Rock n Roll..Take care Todd ✌❤
@@JonIsJustTooLoud You too, Jon! I hope you and your family have a really good year and that God will bless you both spiritually and in every other way! ;)
Thank you Todd ✌️❤️
American tone is made in China?
Yes they are 🤓
