I'm not surprised. For the last 1-2 years I was in a band I used the Electro-Harmonix 44 Caliber pedal power amp with my modeler in to a Mesa 4x12. I was competing with the volume of a drummer, bass player and 2 other guitar players. The other 2 guitar players had tube amps, Engl Savage and an EVH 5150 (50 watt). I had plenty of volume and I thought the 44 Caliber was pretty clean sounding, just turned the bright switch on. Good time to be a guitar player.

Incredible music in every video Jon does.

Daniel from Lichtlaerm really knows his shit! Awesome Pedal!
But man... that Valiant Jupiter in Candy Apple Red... Dream Guitar!

[ScottAstr]

My "high gain" setup is exactly an Aquaria into a Gehenna, so this is the most accurate pedal/amp demo I'm ever going to see! Thank you!

[remiestronks]

Great demo! Because of this video, I have one of these coming my way! Looking forward to it. Gonna use it with my Helix and thinking of getting a Two Notes Revolt preamp.

[gabrielstevens]

My big amps are great but lately I've been gigging with a pedal board setup just like with pedals from This Heavy Earth: boost, preamp and poweramp. It works and sounds great.

[mazingaball]

Holy Crow! That sounds epic as hell dude. Love it and the Valiant Jupiter is really nice. Always wanted to see one in a metal setting.

What a time to be alive as a guitar player

[therealone]

Nice I've been looking at seymour duncan powerstage but this looks like a good option too

[thrashphil]

I love your channel Jon. Always awesome sounds. 👍 I already bought the TKIY booster from Lichtlaerm because of your video and it replaced my TS9DX as boost in front of my JMP-1. So, I will do it also with this pedal. It's a very handy and good sounding solution for my analog preamps. Keep on rocking!

Sounds \badass/ love it with the Heavy Menace

[sendsidz]

So happy i invested in the cioks DC7 .. this is a game changer!

[TheSkulletMan]

All his pedals sound great! I love my Medusa and Ghenna!

[tippss]

Sick company producing incredible pedals!!!! Sounds so good!!!! Will be ordering one for sure. Cheers!

[megalodon]

Love the videos, man. Content is well produced, clear, to the point, and well paced. Thanks for the effort!

[bradschimke]

Sounds great! That riff at the 1:11 is nasty 🔥🤘🏻

[Glensully]

My experiment was 2x magnum 44. Rewired my 212 in stereo. Used my helix both outputs left and right
No it’s not a wide stereo sound but it was very clear and very loud. Sounded extremely good

[krailanuar]

What the nice tone u get bro... pretty nice

[carloswhomusic]

I replaced my amps with Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170.
You need a lot of power for clean headroom at high volumes.

I saw someone in the comments mention using a similar pedal from This Heavy Earth Pedals. I notice that the control layout, electrical specs, and overall functions are the same as this pedal. Other than the pedal from This Heavy Earth having mini pots for the presence and depth controls. And its about $25 cheaper. I wonder if they could potentially be the same pedal with different graphics? Like how some companies will have license agreements to sell the same or similar products with their names on them.
A cool comparison video showing the internals of these pedals would be very interesting.
Either way, I liked your video. Your tone sounds great as always!
