MGR/Laurie Hayes « Marshall Jackhammer JH-1 »
Published on 01/11/03 at 15:00ABC music in Hounslow at a very reasonable price of £45. I bought this unit because I wanted to add distortion to my tone, without any prior investigation I went out and bought the first one I saw. In retrospect I now would have a got a BOSS DS-1 or DS-2 because I wanted a more 'grungy' sound whereas this pedal gives you a more metallica kind of sound.
Many different knobs to twiddle and play with however there isnt't MUCH change in the sound no matter how much you play with it.
I also particularly like the way this thing is built. Basically its a brick, I reckon you could chuck this thing at a wall and it would still work!
What I dont like? Where should I start?
- It eats batteries, definately get an adapter for it.
- The 'pedal', this 'pedal' isnt a pedal, the on/off switch is actully a button and a loose one at that so I have to tread carefully so as not to break it. This also makes playing difficult if your at home in just socks.
- The 'distortion' setting is dire. I NEVER switch over to it.
- Instruction manual isn't too helpful in explaining the different knobs.
Built like a rock however the button is a major downfall.
Get this pedal if your afetr a metallica sound however if your into NIrvana get a BOSS DS-1.
