JHS Colour Box Preamp: what's it for?

Музыка

PLEASE NOTE: From January 2016, we have moved. We are now here…
/ @thatpedalshow
Please subscribe to the That Pedal Show dedicated channel.
Daniel and Mick get to grips with the Neve-inspired Colour Box Preamp from JHS. It looks like a pedal, it smells like a pedal, it tastes like a pedal. But does it sound like a pedal. Well, kinda...
The Colour Box's 100 per cent analogue circuitry seeks to bring the sound of a classic Neve console to a pedal. Use it as a direct recording preamp for guitar, bass, vocals or... well, anything you like, really. you can also use it to overdrive an amp for a very different take on gain make-up and overdrive. Clean sounds? Oh yes!
Daniel is playing his Fender Custom Shop 63 Telecaster and Mick is playing his Collings 290 DC S and Fender American Vintage ’62 Stratocaster. Amps used are a Hamstead Artist 20 and an AER Compact 60 3.
As ever TheGigRig G2 is handling all the switching and routing effortlessly.

    For those who don't "get" the pedal - think of it as the front end for your audio interface that you can plug anything into. It's like having one channel strip of a Neve mixing console. If you have two of them - you are building a small console....and on and on. In fact - that is exactly what I did - I bought two of them so that I would have 2 channels comprised of "Neve 1073s." That is why there is a mixing console on the faceplate. The new Ver 2 will be able to pass 48V phantom power from your audio interface (or whatever you use to provide phantom power) straight through to the CB V2. In other words - you would plug your condenser microphone into the box using the combo jack on the right side of the unit (it accepts either XLR or 1/4" TS) and run an XLR out of the left side of the unit and into your interface where most will have the option of switching on 48V phantom power. The new CB V2 will also have the bells and whistles that JHS included in the VERY PRICEY Colour Box 500 series unit. The awesome sauce is that it is HALF THE PRICE of the 500 series unit!!!!! $399 - which is the same price as the original CB V1. It's better to not think of the boxes as "pedals" but rather individual channels of Neve 1073 pre-amps with the added advantage of being able to use it as a guitar pedal. You'll start to realize you want (need) multiples if you are into recording. One is fine - but two channels are better!! Imagine if you had 8 channels!! You could mic a drum kit, a guitar amp, go DI with it on a bass guitar, and have a channel or two for vocals or direct inject with a synth. Capiche? Hope this helps.

    Can you plug your guitar straight into your amp and check for noise? If none - put the CBV2 in between your guitar and the amp. Use the 1/4" input and output in this scenario. Set the HI/LO to LO. Turn the PAD off and set the input to INST. Turn all of the red knobs down to the 7 O'Clock position,. Set all off the blue knobs to noon. Report back as to whether the noise is there or not. Ok?

I have been using it in a variety of settings: a preamp for my classical guitars' piezo pick up - this works great and sounds beautiful through my hand made Class A tube amp. A preamp for my Sennheiser into my DAW - my singing voice is not as loud as say my bandmates so this really helps bring up the level using my dynamic mic. I still have to try a condenser mic. An electric guitar fuzz pedal - I like the fuzz sound on it. Terrific sounding preamp pedal.

    It seems the majority of commentors here are fixated on it as a straight, guitar drive pedal into an amp. But this is really a killer studio preamp and production tool, hence the XLR in/outs. The fact that it works well on a live pedal board just seems like a bonus. I bet acoustic instruments could sound shimmering and stunning with this, either plugged in or through a mike..

    Maybe an idea would be an episode on overdrives + guitar volume and tone control and how you can use that? Treble bleeds, overdrive vs clean and how to deal with volume or tone differences when playing like this on a one channel amp. (Sorry for the long complicated question..) Whenever you guys go over a subject I almost always find a new aspect or trick that I didn't know already! :)

In my experience, using a low gain distortion pedal to simulate tube breakup is better than a "true" overdrive like a TS. I would love to say it has something to do with symmetric/asymmetric clipping, but that would be bullshitting from my part. I'm sure you and Mick can clarify that and give us some great advice!

    Usually, the more stuff is removed from the signal chain between guitar and amp, the better the clean sound. However... this is one of those very few pedals where it’s addition into a signal chain could, depending on your idea of great clean tone, make your stuff sound BETTER. A rare thing, that.

I set it up to get the Beatles "Revolution" grind then can back off guitar volume and it cleans up beautifully. Currently using it as a mic pre before hitting my Mackie 1640. sounds great. Just realize this is closely providing the sound of going into a Neve desk for better or worse!

    Another Brick In The Wall solo tone here perhaps. That solo was a P-90 equipped Les Paul recorded direct into the mixing desk. Dave Gilmour thought the results were a bit thin sounding, so they ran the direct recorded track back out into an amplifier to fatten it up. Re-amping basically. Colour Box set up for a fairly clean direct recorded guitar sound into an amp would probably get very close. I always thought I needed a Strat for that sound btw. Nope p.s. Props to JHS for spelling colour properly.

    the heavy break up is, to me, almost useless other than for novelty. But think of it as a preamp, which is what it's based on. No one buys expensive preamps for their overdrive. You buy them for their subtle enhancements of the signal which this does beautifully in the clean and early break up. It adds a lot of definition and subtle coloration like a good pre. The overdrive is a 'bonus'.

    ant Sor I used to do the same thing. Had a Sansui 9090 with a pair of Klipsch Heresy speakers and would plug my Strat into the receiver’s mic input. Sounded awful!

    $45 dynacomp, homemade fuzz for $75 and get a boss eq pedal for $50 would get you into what this does for a pittance. You saved me $400! I had been interested in hearing this for a while. Thanks, always love the show.

    do you get any compensation or sponsorship from these pedal companies to devote whole episodes to their product(s)? not meant to sound offensive or accusatory at all, i was just curious.

    Can you guys do an episode on fuzz boxes with wah pedals? As in, using fuzz before and after the war, or using them both ways a la Jimmy Hendrix?

    I have played with one before and I honestly love how it sounds. Say what you will about the sound, but I think it's a unique thing that sounds great, and it's got a ton of possibilities. BUT I really wish that it wasn't $400. As much as I love the pedals sound and the amount of tones you can get out it, I really struggle with such a massive price tag. And that's a problem with most JHS pedals, in my opinion. They're good, but I can't usually justify spending upwards of $100 higher than what a normal overdrive or normal delay pedal costs. Just my thoughts. They make good stuff, for sure, but I just wish it was reasonably affordable.

    A bit late to this show, but if you can remember, what was any impression of this pedal in a bass rig? I mention it because if I could divide $200 of the pedal for use on guitar, and $200 for use on my bass, then I just might be able to get closer to justifying the purchase... Thanks.

    Brad Dietz Think of it this way, Brad : $100 of it for a guitar pedal, $100 for bass, $100 for drums, and $100 for vocals. It is, after all, essentially a preamp. So justify harder!
