An incredible player with a real sense of timing and tone, with a huge knowledge of the blues, jazz, and country. Hence the pedal’s moniker, which is a tip of the hat to his talent.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Just Joshin’ is all about the interaction between the player, the fingers, the technique, and the guitar. The bypass switch turns the pedal on and its fixed gain with a pretty good bump over unity if you’re using a clean amp with headroom.  It’s fixed to around what would be 11 o’clock, and you’re straight into really touch sensitive blues tones. It cleans up superbly with a light touch or with the volume rolled back and inspires dynamic playing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe amount of gain on tap here will depend on your amp to an extent and how you have it set. If you have a low wattage tube amp, the added volume boost of even just the first gain stage may lead to your tubes being pushed into saturation. If your amp is already overdriving, you'll notice less of a volume gain and more compression \/ overdrive as you add in the second gain stage. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe second stage goes from just past the first stage’s setting up to its maximum, controlled by the one and only knob which adjusts the internal bias of the pedal’s clipping stages. As you wind up the knob, things get hairier and more compressed in a way that’s very reminiscent of a power amp being driven into distortion.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis pedal is really shines when used live into an amp at the edge of breakup, where you are using your guitar volume knob to control the various flavours of clean \/ dirty. There’s not a great deal of compression, with so much life in each note that everything “just sounds better” with the pedal on.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA standard 9v centre negative power supply is required, there is no internal battery connection. Top mounted jacks for convenience in a 125B sized aluminium enclosure with a powder coated finish.  Bright blue and green LED’s mounted in metal bezels let you know when the pedal is engaged and if you’ve kicked in the second boost stage.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SPR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54471763755301,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0093\/6538\/9371\/files\/IMG_9351_48b7435a-563f-4ea5-9c23-b19d5b143444.jpg?v=1794527557","url":"https:\/\/www.coololdguitars.shop\/products\/spr-pedals-just-joshin-boost-pedal-made-in-australia","provider":"Cool Old Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
