Z-Vex SUPER HARD ON boost drive guitar effects pedal demo

[RockYouVideos]

poison. fuck yeah!

[varisk9]

how many snakes died to make that shoe! lol! loved the demo man thanks!

[Satansbitch101]

@varisk9 ten

[guitarsteve6190]

you rock man. so informative.  love it!

[catchatubescreamer]

why is it called a SHO? is it because it pushes the amp's input?

[jessemaes1990]

@catchatubescreamer Because it's Super Hard On your amp.

[catchatubescreamer]

@jessemaes1990 Cheers dude! :o)

[mrhumpydumpyable]

SHO CUMMIN @ YA!

[Distortionize]

I finished my clone of the SHO today.. AAAAWSOME SOUND *_*

(i built it because of your demo ;))

[xMuchacho]

I have actually built one of these and DAMN it's ridiculous. It gives my clean channel more drive than my drive channel has... but the sound is just awesome.

[SnickleFritzMcJame]

Dear GMNND,

Where do you get the money for all of these nifty pedals?

sincerely,

Mr. McJame

[liavv6]

holy fuck he sounds like Jack black!!!!1

[jannefredriksson]

Super hard on LMAO. but i actually got a super hard on from listening to it

[penlandc]

Are you running everything in front of your amp or through effects loop?

[jimmyp73]

i like the sound but the name is enough to prevent me from buying it

[timbo177]

@jimmyp73 The name is the best part!

[LeviMan2001]

Wow was that pot scratching? That's sad. Anything new shouldn't have scratchy pots. Unless, that's used.

[41224jason]

@LeviMan2001 from zvex's site: This is the perfect preamp pedal. The "Crackle Okay" volume knob is a negative-feedback control styled after classic 60's recording console inputs. (They crackled when adjusted too.)

it's perfectly normal. the knob is labeled "crackle okay" for a reason. it's a little hard to see on this video

[CHARLIESLYSTER]

This video have me a SUPER HARD ON!

[FlipGordon]

Gearmandude If you have played the Fender American Deluxe telecasters they have the S-1 Switching is this similar?

[7goatmilk7]

im super hard...

[TommyNegeal]

Gearmandude I wish you were my dad

I would have been raised on TONE!!!!!

[zbaby82]

I wonder what it would so like through a cranked Marshall?

[hannababalon]

What brand of boots are you wearing there? Reminds me of Keef's in "Gimme Shelter" wear and style...Rock on!

[nicolas201014]

poison use this pedal?



[Putaspellonyou]

super hard-on?...its one that doesn't go away even with repeated use.

[kaisersteev]

i fried my tubes using one of these full bore

[liptakinator]

sooo sweeet

giterdon zack

[dajbes58]

I never see anyone commenting on your playing , But I got to say , you can play ! Thanks for all the demos David

[lordcroesus]

It's fucking Jack Black!!

[DroejsTube]

I think this pedal is ok for clean boost but the massive volume increase makes it useless for me to use it to push your amp into overdrive.

[oasisroses]

this guy is awesome !! funny as hell when trying to use his foot . gearmanndude you definately need to do a wah review so we can see those kick ass nasty boots getting down !!

ROCK ON !!!

[drjann]

Great demo. I just bought one of these! Love It!

Thx gearmandude!

[Hertsman50]

Another great demo from gearmanndude although I must admit I prefer the Lovepedal Purple Plexi 800 pedal.

[0cerpintaxt0]

good to combine with a fulltone OCD

[EpiphoneLPJrGuitar]

this was uploaded on my b-day!

[cast390]

Another Jack Black review

[GabouHendrix]

Turning a knob with you foot instantly makes you one of the best pedal demontrators...

[Aussie4500]

Its called "Nothing But A Good Time" by Poison

[Renhjarta]

Tone is in your boots :) Great vid, nice riffs !

[l3prechaun666]

omg ive eben looking for that song at the start of your video for ages what is it?!?! please

[tcinpa37]

I think the Luther is better, and more versatile.

[d34d1yinf3rn0]

the sho isn't designed primarily as an overdrive. it's supposed to add clarity. from the website - ost vintage guitars suffer from steadily deteriorating magnets in their pickups, since permanent magnets aren't really forever. The Super Hard-On's input impedance is so high (>5 Meg) that it refuses any current flow from your pickup... maintaining the most magnetic field around each string, so you can hear exactly what your pickup sounded like the day it came off the winder.

[tcinpa37]

I can respect that in a pedal. But if I'm going to spend over 100$, I really expect the pedal to do more than turn up my volume knob for me. I realize it helps to "pull in more sound" and can emulate a more original tone from one's pups, but it's just not my cup of tea. There are plenty of pedals out there that sound better for the same or less money; pedals that can do what this one does and a lot more. I don't dislike the pedal, I just find the Luther more capable all around.

[marvelboy04]

yeah, ive heard some people like the sho for humbuckers to add chime and the xotic ep booster for fatness with strats

[rdsification]

I love your voice!!!!!!

[soothsayer911]

Dear gearmanndude

[HKP1994]

[popomczowzow]

REVERB SUCKS!

(:

[SparcoRX7]

Hillarious at 2:59 when you tried to use your foot =)

[weirdotis]

Love the new mic setup... how do you like the Fulltone Cables? Would you recommend them?

[gearmanndude]

Hell yes! the fulltone cables are awesome...if they made white coily's, I'd use them too....

ROCK ON!

GMD

[paperbea]

@gearmanndude have you used George L's cables? I've got one and it's very nice.

[cathodez]

Any fear that the SHO could fry the front end on your amp?

[gearmanndude]

yes, and yes....very pushy little box...my tubes were literally chirping at me during the demo...just sayin

GMD

[dredghead1]

That is awesome.

[Adji87]

Mate honestly, even If i wasn't interested in pedals and what not Id still be subbing to your videos, genuinely hilarious, but genuinly informative too. Thanks again for all the great demos GMD.

[Psyco430404]

[acrane11]
