JayLeonardJ Appreciation Thread

[Smashies]

So....call me blasphemous, but as far as YouTube demos go, PGS Andy has someone new that may be giving him a run for his money.

Enter: JayLeonardJ. Dude has mad chops, but he still lets the pedals shine where they do best, if you ask me. Talks about as much as Andy does, which is good/bad depending on how you feel about that. I personally think he gives good evaluations.

Here's from his JHS week, where he reviewed all 7 new JHS pedal versions:

Morning Glory v4:


Pollinator v2:


Pulp n Peel v4:


Twin Twelve v2:


Superbolt v2:

He sounds great. Has he reviewed any cool pedals?

He's pretty new to the pedal reviewing gig. However, he's done justice to the JHS Crayon, Keeley 30ms, and Keeley Monterrey recently.

He's on TGP too, it appears. Come say hey, @JayLeonardJ !

His Muffuletta demo pushed me over the edge. Cool pedal, even cooler demo.

His enthusiasm could sell a dog turd. I could see where some are put off a little, but it seems genuine and he never comes off as too cool.

How could I forget that demo. That was the first one I saw him do!

I just recently discovered his channel and WOW, he's a monster player.

Great player but that tele always sounds too trebly! And I usually like bright sounds!
What amp is he using, anyone knows?

Legit concern. That tele is a great one though--covers a lot of ground, albeit on the brighter side. Perhaps we'll see him throw in some different guitars in future demos--hopefully with some humbuggies or P90s. And yeah, a statement of what amp he's using for (a gorgeous) clean tone would be cool.

Wow, I am incredibly late to this party, but what a treat it is to fall into this thread!

Thanks to all of you guys who take the time to come in and watch the demos; it is a LOT of work and it is great to know that there are a few out there that really appreciate it.

Yup, my old Tele demos are definitely brighter than most: goes to show what sounds amazing in the band mix doesn't necessarily sound the best on it's own. However, I have been capturing my audio a little differently lately and there are lots more guitars in the rotation.

Feel free to drop by the page anytime and check out a vid

PS - all my early vids were with a Fender Princeton NR

I love your enthusiasm in the demos, man. Keep rocking!

awesome guitar player!

 

[Empros]

There's a demo he does where he's demoing an acoustic.. can't remember which, but that's one of the best YouTube gear demos I've seen!

Great player.

My favourite is still the pelitaur.
Have watched it multiple times
