If you haven't checked out this pedal yet, why not?! The Electro Harmonix Crayon is a super powerful overdrive pedal with an incredible EQ section that can shape this from being a subtle mid-push boost to a full on fire-breathing gain monster. Get settled in as we take this EHX Crayon Full--Range Overdrive through it's paces and unlock ever tone on this weeks No Talk All Tone.
If you like these reviews and demos, don't forget to drop me a comment and let me know. By dropping a comment there, you will please the algorithm gods and make my videos more visible, which would be awesome. If you have one of these yourself, let me know how you are getting on with it yourself in a comment or a video response, I'd love to hear how it is getting on in your rig through different amps and guitars.
The demo gear in this video is all run through Practical Patch cables, including instrument cables and patch cables. These are using some top-quality components, including Neutrik jacks and Van Damme cable and are hand-assembled and tested in the UK. After having off-the-shelf cables for years and suffering failures again and again, I bought some Practical Patch cables and have been happier than ever with them. They also don’t cost you the Earth, which some other hand made cable companies seem to do. If you want to find out more, head over to www.practicalpatch.co.uk to see what they have to offer.

Sounds really good when the gain was on this setting @ 3:20. Could probably be a good idea to stack it with a distortion pedal for some huge solo lead lines. Excellent video as usual!

Cheers 👍 I could see this one stacking really well

I use a crayon and it’s great… runs into compressor which is always on, and sometimes I kick on a tube screamer before it for a crunchy lead sound

I love this pedal. I use it mainly as a bass boost. TS808 for OD and a Boss DS-1W for distortion. I also have a EHX Lizard Queen octave fuzz and just added a Chicago Stompworks Black Fudge Fuzz.

Sounds like you've got all bases covered there. Did you hear they have just released a lizard king, which is the queen but with a blend and toggle for different octave modes?

I have the Hot Wax which has this circuit and a Hot Tubes, it is pretty cool.

@BudgetPedalChap Жыл бұрын

I've not tried the hot tubes, what kind of circuit is that? I've heard that this pedal is great being pushed by another so that makes sense 👍

@xb5883 Жыл бұрын

@@BudgetPedalChap The Hot Tubes is a CMOS overdrive like the Way Huge Red Llama. EHX puts the Crayon in front of the Hot Tubes. The Hot Tubes reacts more like an amp in a box, good going into a clean amp.

How does it compare to timmy or timmy type pedel?

@BudgetPedalChap Жыл бұрын

It's not really like that, or at least I don't think it's meant to be. It's more like an OCD with an added control

@silviolutti1522 10 ай бұрын

Actually the Crayon Electro harmonix is based on the Xotic BB preamp circuit but with some modifications to the circuit which makes it slightly clearer and with its own personality. Having it, I confirm the goodness of this pedal in my opinion one of the best ever in terms of value for money. I put it next to my Boss Bd-2Waza Craft made in Japan and I assure you that it looks good at all, on the contrary it allows me to have a slightly more "British" sound. Needless to make comparisons with boss sd-1 type pedals: the Crayon is a full range overdrive and doesn't cut your lowend like the boss or the tubescreamer. A greeting!

I randomly skipped back and forward through the recording and found that sonically very little had changed. Not enough to think buying this would please me by seving its apparent duty. There is very little valence in its effect. It looks nice though. I want a better product

@BudgetPedalChap Жыл бұрын

Fair point. Do you have any suggestions for pedals that do this sound better that I should check out?

@mr-iz8cx Жыл бұрын

@@BudgetPedalChap thanks for replying. Not really sorry. I dont mean what I had written as a critique of your video by any means. I've only been looking a short while for OD and distortion and am by no means an expert. I like the sonic character of the pedal but I didn't see that the pots were sensitive (enough for me and my budget ) in their response to their relative position. So I guess I wonder why the designer included eq control. Maybe I should consider OD pedals more as presets for tone?

@mr-iz8cx Жыл бұрын

I'm actually really curious about overdrive as I've just started playing again after about 20 years. When I was a kid I just had the drive on my amp which was terrible and lacked any control. I basically always played clean

@BudgetPedalChap Жыл бұрын

@@mr-iz8cx usually with drive pedals, people get a setting they like and keep it there. Like you say, almost like a preset. Pairing a drive with an EQ pedal can really allow you to get some wildly different tones out of one drive box. Hope that helps 👍
