Pro Tone Pedals Jason Becker Distortion

[blackblurable]

Awesome man. It's a little pricey but from the tones your getting, I say it's worth it for sure.

[irmasil3]

I have the newest version of this pedal.Could you tell me what are the three bottom knobs from left to right?Because in the RC video the knobs of the prototype are in the same way....

[skwisgaarandtoki69]

Your an idiot.....

[tdal1706]

@ynnadstrebor You're missing the point of this video! :) It's to show what the pedal sounds like with non-Becker-like playing. Every other demo is going to have guys (often hackishly) trying to emulate Becker...that's where this video comes in.

I did record a demo with a guy who's into Becker, arpeggios, etc. And everyone commented how he wasn't as good as Becker, and were generally really negative about it...far more negative than comments for this vid. So that one was taken down, leaving this.

if u want jason becker tone get a ADA MP-1.... seriously

[SurrenderOrDie65]

i thought this pedal was supposed to help u get all the same sound from the perpetual burn album? can u get that sound?

[SKOOTthePIRATE]

i have this pedal and i run it through a marshall half stack and.. no.. it sounds like this

[TheCosmicSpace]

so u cant get the same sound say from the song altitudes?

[SKOOTthePIRATE]

no where near anything i was hoping for :/

[nerdheadbanger]

Shame though, because the Pro Tone website says that it's based on the amp used in Perpetual Burn!

[JulianTheGuitarist2]

yes you can go to the protonepedals page and look for the altitude video, it has the EXACT SAME TONE FROM ALTITUDE WHICH MOST LIEKYL MEANS HELL YEA! and it even has the nice jason becker clean tone.

[NAThan9871]

@JulianTheGuitarist2 what's the title of the video plz ?

[innhoster]

You should have actually displayed some Jason Becker songs, geesh it's only his pedal, why not play some classics from him?

[PhiyukYu]

can this handle METAL!

[PhiyukYu]

I dont think you could get a more expensive pedal

[rhcpjohn444]

idk if this is what im lookin for. what pedal can i use to get the sound like the song rain by becker??

[djd904]

im pretty sure he used two reverb peddles and i think one was an ibanez but im not 100% on that.

[trplitefantastic]

What are some more pedals that sound like this one? This sounds great!

[ZurcBlackstarr]

wow a 3 watt amp? is that like a pocket amp?

and that sound coming from it..? weew i cant wait to see what its like on a my marshall half stack :D

[tdal1706]

A practice amp...3-watt tube amp, EL84, 12" speaker.

And yeah, the thing'll sound fantastic into a big amp!!! :)

[ZurcBlackstarr]

im thinkin of one of those battery powered amps that you strap to your belt? wow i sound like a douche bag lol. the smallest practice amp ive ever seen was 30 watt :O

[tdal1706]

Hahaha! Awesome.

:)

You'd probably be surprised how loud it is!

[ZurcBlackstarr]

:) blah im so excited! i cant wait to get this thing! ive been practicing some really cool stuff just so i can play something awesome the moment i get this thing! ill make a video once i get it :P (probably for christmas... i know its coming though) hehe.

[Guitomaniac]

I get the idea of the basic pedal, but some sweeps or at least a fast lick would help us get its fast home-like sound.

Good groovin anyway.

Peace

[tdal1706]

Thanks, man.

If I could do it, and do it well, I'd deliver. But I'm not gonna try to get even a little Becker-ish on it, cause I'd just suck at it. :)

So this is the "average player" demo!

--Tom

[tdal1706]

This video shows a different side of the pedal...the guitar has p-90s on it and the pedal's running into a clean 3-watt amp. So that'd account for the cleaner and clearer sound.

Later!

[77KronKron77]

..im getting this pedal either way..but would it sound ok witha a Line 6 halfstack?

[tdal1706]

I would think so...the boost side is very warm and the distortion side very natural. I think it'd play well with the Line 6.

Thanks!

[77KronKron77]

would i want to keep my amp on clean while using this pedal then?

[midmid]

why not playing a Jason Becker song with the pedal??

[tdal1706]

Because we wanted a "normal person" playing the pedal. You can hear a crazy shredder like Rusty Cooley playing it, so this way, you can hear just some simple playing through it. Not all Jason Becker fans can play like him--so this way, they get to hear the pedal played by a normal person! :)

[jasonbecker550rg]

do you need a power adapter for this pedal? or can you run it off a 9 volt battery?

[tdal1706]

It runs off a power adapter OR 9 volt battery! :)

[jasonbecker550rg]

thanks

[cococaster]

muy bueno ese pedal asi se llama el modelo se suigue fabricando?? me podrias contestar ... muchas gracias!!

[tdal1706]

Apesadumbrado. No hablo español. Éste es el pedal de la firma para el guitarrista Jason Becker.
