Hey everyone! Please check out the full description for links to the 1966 pedals and the Loud Is More Good amp, info on the gear in this episode, Josh's guitars and the record in Record Time. Thanks for watching!
Hey Josh, thanks for heading off the haters with cheaper alternatives. They probably didn't watch long enough to see you did that. Great playing, fun project, keep doing you. It works!
Hey Josh... Those look amazing... what a great idea to involve your kids !!!!! absolute genius .... I would love to be able to get my hands on one or even all....i'm sure they will sell out fast.
Raging Chimera I totally agree. There aren’t many out there like Josh... I’ve watched quite a few of his videos and he does these kind of totally unbiased recommendations of other companies’ products quite often and it always blows my mind. 😃
Sometimes it's the only reason I watch...just cuz I like the guy. I mean, I play bass. I try to adjust accordingly, but...it doesn't matter. It's always a bonus when a nice guy knows a lot of stuff too, eh? 😆
He just couldn't do it. He couldn't make a show dedicated to his own pedals, not without plugging everybody else's stuff before he's done. Josh goes beyond humble into the guilt territory, haha. It's one of the most lovable things about him.
One of the things I love the most about these vids is actually Josh’s playing. Not as technically flashy as some of the demo guys out there, but always super tasteful and melodically interesting.
Blonde on Blonde is one of my 5 favorite albums ever made. "Visions of Johanna" gets me every time. When I think of Dylan lyrics, "The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the ones of her face" is always the first one that comes to mind.
Favorite album from 1966 is no contest: The Beatles Revolver. I think it was the first fully modern pop record. The songs still sound as fresh and sharp as they did then, and its sound, despite some of the production techniques of the time, is as forward looking as anything being produced today. She Said She Said and And Your Bird Can Sing are two of the greatest guitar pop songs ever recorded, Here There and Everywhere is a masterpiece of lush and inventive harmonization, Eleanor Rigby weaves a dark, gothic spell, Love You To dives deep into brooding mysticism previously unknown in pop music. I'm Only Sleeping, Dr. Robert, every song is a revelation of sorts. And then there's Tomorrow Never Knows, whose otherworldly maelstrom of light and darkness, love and death, creation and destruction, remains unmatched in pop music. It's not only my favorite album from 1966, it may be my favorite Beatles album, which is pretty much saying it's my favorite album of all time. So yeah. Revolver. Blonde On Blonde is not my favorite Dylan record (probably Highway 61 Revisited), but Stuck Inside of Mobile (with the Memphis Blues Again) is one of my favorite Dylan songs.
I, too, would love that book and Josh seems like just the guy to do it. Well, perhaps Dan and Mick could help, maybe write a forward or epilogue or something.
'Revolver' is a no-brainer for the 'amazing 1966 album' prize, but since, many years ago, when phone memory was far more limited than it is today, I listened to three LPs - all the memory could hold - on repeat, pretty much daily, for maybe a year or more, two of which were recorded in 1966 and featured Bob Dylan, I feel like "that thin, that wild mercury sound" got into my blood, so I'm going to nominate 'The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert', the perfect companion piece to Blonde On Blonde. The acoustic version of 'Just Like A Woman' on that LP is the best it ever sounded, and Bob's singing of it the sweetest it ever was. I think it's on the 'No Direction Home' DVD, so you can watch it too if you don't think listening to it on headphones with your eyes closed is the way to really get into it. Can't leave without also saying The Byrds', The Beatles', and The Kinks' entire output from 1966 also occupies that same higher plane.
If you have a liver going spare I'll take it. Mine is fucked from drinking too much. I could use a set of lungs too. Smoking too much! Ha! ;) Just go all out & get me a new heart & brain too.....might as well do the lot!
@@dennismoes7281 Yes! we need whole line of HeMan pedals, "Cringer compressor" "Skelator distortion" "Orko Octave pedal" a two sided boost and overdrive "Adam and Heman" sorry sorry.. My five year old self and my 15 year old guitar player self just a meeting in my brain and it got out of hand...
I have to go back to my dad's record collection for my favorite 1966 album. Dad was into jazz & big bands. My pick is Herb Alpert's Whipped Cream, I mean just for the cover alone, c'mon...
in 1977, I was 14 years old and bought a Mann black Les Paul Custom copy and I needed a fuzz pedal to boost my 50 watts Traynor amp. I was super happy when my friend's father (a country guitar player) gave me a Vox Tone Bender that was just lying around in his basement. My first pedal ever. It was great.
That damn Nick is a great drummer!! I've played drums since I was a little boy in the early 70s so I know a good drummer when I see one. The thing with Nick is that he never over plays. Solid and in the pocket. I enjoy watching you guys jam. Excellent stuff fellas!!!! 👍
*Mayall* 😎 Mine too. I thought long and hard about this and although some great guitar based songs were recorded and/or released in 1966 the albums they are associated with date to 1967. Maybe if Josh does a 1967 series .............
I bought the Fuzz version. It is amazing. I'm not smart enough to know if it is the components, the JHS small mods or the circuit itself, but it sounds really really good. It sustains for days. I played it with my volume low (per JHS suggestions in the box) and got some of my favorite tones. highly recommended.
Music from 1966 is 1,000 times better than any 90's crud. All the biggest bands ever were in the 60's-70's. Soundgarden is nothing compared to the Beatles, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Allman Bros, etc. Everyone knows the era of the biggest best rock is 1955-1980.
@@michaelcraig9449 I'm thinking this may be an inside joke. When Cornell was asked who he listened to he said "Cream and the Beatles" Black Hole Sun was a nod to those 2 bands and that era
Anytime I bring JHS up on the gear forums I always get a bunch of hate comments about him just copying other people's stuff and crap about him being a nerd. I don't even care what people say. I like him, I like his channel and I like what he's doing. He's a nerd, yes. So are the rest of us tone junkies. There's only so much you can do as far as pedals go. He pays tribute and respect to classics and he's genuinely interested in exploring them in his own way. Can't argue with that.
@@weschilton I'm positive some people bought them thinking to resale, but the moment this batch sold out it was announced a second batch is coming, so I'm not sure the resale value will be higher than the original value
I gotta say...one of the coolest things about UA-cam is that you get to see inside the brains of the creators. You've turned me on to your line of pedals. Thanks for posting these!
I know you guys have briefly covered the micing of the drum kit, but it would be awesome if you guys could go over maybe the tuning of the drums and the eq compression being applied? Such great drum sounds in every video. Love it!
You guys keep killing it with the pedals! 1966 was such a loaded year for music; but two albums stand out for me: The Beatles, Revolver, and The Byrds, Fifth Dimension... from two distinct geographic musical hot-spots, (England and Los Angeles), but perhaps equally influential. This vlog thing is an inspirational format for showcasing not only JHS products, but the entire pedal industry as a whole, so kudos.
Every week, when I am on the night shift. I wake up. Brew a pot of coffee. Sip said coffee, watch your video, and it inspires me to head to my basement, put said coffee down on amp plug in a pedal or 4, that are not usually part of my board.........and jam. Just. Jam. I don't get half the stuff I should do done. But that's ok.
@@auntjenifer7774 this isn't really nostalgia though, these are new pedals the copy older ones... the market is full of this stuff for much less money... as John himself showed.
This is what I love about this channel... for all the people who like boutique limited edition handmade stuff, here's a new line of pedals for you. For all of you who think that is ridiculous, here are cheaper alternatives. He embraces both sides of the conversation because he knows it's about preference and therefore no one is wrong in their opinion.
John Kelly Nice. I just said that in another comment and then immediately saw your comment. One thing is abundantly clear - there was A TON of great music in 1966.
Wow! Love #2. Love the Nash! Got two: CAR Tele with a low wind Imperial neck, and a 2TB hardtail Strat with Van Zandts and a huge neck. The Strat is under 7lbs. Amazing!
Love the vid @jhspedals !!! 1966 was a glorious year and these pedals are glorious too! They will shift like *snaps fingers*!! The Boost was sweet and gave the 335 a delicious edge. Thanks for making Thursday nights pedal-tastic! Fave album from ‘66? REVOLVER!!
First episode with a camera slider? Nick, you're my hero! Just ask Zach, I rave to him all the time about you... well, once. But it was a substantial rave. Rave On!
Bill Thompson people sell their clones on reverb and even add additional switches so it can not only boost the treble but the mids and the full signal as well
Hey bill, I can build you one for around 80 bucks that includes a germanium transistor, tone switch and power switching so you can use it with a regular power supply. Message me if you're interested!
I think people are forgetting it's just a handful of components and a circuit board. Especially with pedals like these that are just analog components no complicated digital coding etc. It's become this mystical thing to own a pedal for it's name, or look.
@@SpencerP96 exactly. Just a buncha dorks with more money than brains trying to impress each other. Most of whom couldn't tell a "boutique pedal" from a Line6 Spider multi-effects thingamabob in a blind Pepsi challenge. You know people like Josh are laughing their asses off all the way to the bank.
@@dystopiagear6999 Yeah I mean dont get me wrong I have a lot of nice "boutique" and vintage gear. But at this point this pedal hype is ridiculous. It's a few components on a circuit board. But people want to pretend that if they dont have that 400 dollar pedal made from that certain person then there's no way to obtain it. It's all hype at this point.
Being from England living close to Newmarket I tend to knock these up myself with original components and lucky enough to have most (no rangemaster😣) of these original pedals to copy the topology from..In reality these pedals should only cost between 5 and 15 dollars in parts including the Hammond enclosures. My advise is to build them yourself and modify your own flavour of circuitry to stand out from the crowd..same as the 2 Jimmys did.
JHS has got to be my favorite guitar company ever! So transparent about all their products, very honest and wholesome opinions about competitors, offers such an awesome perspective as to why their products are great without trying to shove it down your throats to buy and even then you get videos about why other pedals are great and educating their market. Not to mention their products are amazing! I was not compensated to do this, I'm just a big fan ^_^
@@24ZEPACDC I've probably had more benders than any other fuzz food group. Every damned one of them is different. The transistor types they choose, the way they have them biased, all different.
fun fact: i have yet to find a fuzz pedal (from u tube vids at least) im looking for besides this yellow tone royce (price) and another which the name escapes me. how i wish there wad a good clear throaty bottom end-y pleasing fuzz pedal...and i dig fuzzes
Very cool new pedals, bit expensive for us commoners but nevertheless cool indeed... Sure wish that amp was a bit more affordable too but I still Love ya J... Cool episode!
If you're going to sell boutique-style fuzzes at $400 a pop you need to specify which transistors you are using at the very least. We're talking Castledine, D*A*M and PigDog prices with none of the references or provenance.
We should start a year-by-year thread on Pedalboards of Doom. Find which other years might be notable. I'm holding out for a 1972 series....(coz I'm an old fart).
I woke up in the middle of the night and this suggestion came to me, cause all good ideas come at 3:37am. ‘Do an episode on pedals you love to turn off.’ Not sure what to make of that, but I have faith you do.
@@CodyAlushin for clones, however faithful. A vintage tonebender can be had for not much more that Josh's. It does speak volumes to what a passion project this is, and to Josh's character imo, that he listed some great cheaper alternatives.
Exactly @@gonzoengineering4894, he knows what these are and he knows his audience. I've bought both JHS and other brand's pedals from these videos and all have been great. Dude is KNOWLEDGABLE.
I’m all for boutique gear, and getting what you pay for, but I don’t see the two lining up with these pedals. You introduce them here like they’re intended for the audience of this show, but I guarantee you that only a small percentage of your viewers can/will buy any of it at such price points. It’s great that building them is something special you can do with your kids, but I doubt they’re “$400 special”. To be clear, it’s not the gear itself I have a problem with. I’m sure they all sound amazing, but maybe NAMM is a better place for such an announcement instead of UA-cam, where the majority of your audience is younger players without a lot of cash to spend. Harley Benton is a household name thanks entirely to UA-cam. At first I thought the pedals were a new budget line for JHS; they certainly look cheaper. And I thought “Wow what a great idea! This could put more JHS pedals on more boards! They really know their audience!” Guess not. I realize there are plenty of pros and hobbyists who will pay those elevated prices, but you’re alienating a LARGE chunk of your viewers this way. I just don’t understand pedal companies thinking “There are some great classic pedals out there that everyone should have but they’re old and/or rare. I know! I’ll make my own versions so more people can finally experience their greatness! Oh, and I’ll make them prohibitively expensive to really minimize how many people can buy and enjoy them! Genius!”
Good news is he only made a few, so should be enough to service that portion of the shows audience that would be interested. I tend to think those that are turned off by the price will probably still watch an episode or two when they get back to not having an episode specifically introducing a limited pedal run.
@@canaanlawrence7351 there are lots of tone bender copies for way less. How do you guys think he affords all of these guitars and vintage pedals? By over charging you 300 for a clone.
Excellent side project Josh. Awesome tones. I'm a geezer, so these are the sounds I grew up with and associate with great music. It is amazing to hear that, even after decades of emulations, the original circuits still eclipse (see what I did there?) many of the current crop. You're inspiring a back closet rummage this weekend. I still have a couple of interesting pieces in my collection including an original Sam Ash Fuzzz Boxxx, and a Univox Super Fuzz (Superman version), plus the usual selection of Ibanez, MXR, EHX, Ross and Boss stuff from the 1980's.
I ask the most important question: the t-shirts are RAD. Thanks for the Thread and Spoke shoutout. You are setting Autumnal fashion trends! Don’t be reticent about the New Balance. You’ve got it going on.
Blonde on Blonde is one of the greatest blues recordings, and simultaneously one of the greatest albums of tragic love songs, of all time. On the one side, you have tunes like "Leopard-skin pillbox hat", "Pledging my time", and "Obviously five believers". On the other side you have "Visions of Johanna", "I want you", "Just like a woman", and "Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands". Hard to find two more diametrically-opposed styles. And then you have tunes that I can only describe as road tunes for singing along to in the car, like "Rainy day women", and "Most likely you'll go your way and I'll go mine". "Sooner or later (one of us must know)" shakes me to the core every time I hear it. The drumming in it is landmark. One of my desert-island discs for many years now.
Finally I understood why learning history is important that you even got history class in schools. It helps you selling your products with higher price.

Can I get a cheaper alternative for the amp? Is that even possible?
Hey Josh... Those look amazing... what a great idea to involve your kids !!!!! absolute genius .... I would love to be able to get my hands on one or even all....i'm sure they will sell out fast.
Omg, just get to the end of the video... are you kidding? Adding the schematics and stuff!! Now i really want one of these!!!
"If mine are too expensive, here are some competitor's products that I recommend" You're a stand-up guy Josh.

Yeah, he recommends competitors in almost all his videos. Makes him seem very genuine and passionate about pedals and sound.
I would love to see a video where Rhett Shull tries all these out and picks his fave as well - that man loves fuzz and knows how to use it!
“. . . . cuz you’re not Jimi Hendrix either. I think that kinda levels the playing field.” Yr killin’ me Josh!
The fact that Josh acknowledge the price and give you cheaper alternatives just makes you understand that he loves his customers. Thanks buddy!
Have you priced Analogman pedals lately? $300-$1500 on Reverb.
Cheaper? They're $400 a pop. And way overpriced.
@@chrise.3814 Not looking to buy.
Me: Wow, I need one!
Sweetwater: $400
Me: okay maybe not, actually
similar with the amp.
It's cool -- I'm betting it's hand-wired and assembled, etc.
But nope for me.
lol I did the same exact thing
Same here, but don't worry, they'll be out on Reverb very soon....
For 600
Analogman makes similar circuits in the $200 range. I've got a sunbender 1.5, and a Beano boost. They sound amazing.

The best album of 1966 was Pet Sounds.
I'd have to agree.
1966 is an impossible year to even debate a best record, but if you held a gun to my head, I’d probably go with Da Capo by Love.
True in retrospect, but not necessarily to folks in 1966. Even some of the Beach Boys.

A very close 2nd is "Bluesbreaker"
John Kelly Nice. I just said that in another comment and then immediately saw your comment.
One thing is abundantly clear - there was A TON of great music in 1966.
Wow! Love #2. Love the Nash! Got two: CAR Tele with a low wind Imperial neck, and a 2TB hardtail Strat with Van Zandts and a huge neck. The Strat is under 7lbs. Amazing!
I could watch these videos all day. Also, your jams are sick.
Great! You release Ltd. editions right when I move to a new city, w/ no job. Now, I'm gonna miss out. Don't cry for me...I'm already dead. :(
Love the vid @jhspedals !!! 1966 was a glorious year and these pedals are glorious too!
They will shift like *snaps fingers*!!
The Boost was sweet and gave the 335 a delicious edge. Thanks for making Thursday nights pedal-tastic!
Fave album from ‘66? REVOLVER!!
Awesome stuff. My favorite 1966 release has to be The Beatles Revolver.
First episode with a camera slider? Nick, you're my hero! Just ask Zach, I rave to him all the time about you... well, once. But it was a substantial rave. Rave On!
I was like "Cool! Ive been wanting to get a Dallas rangemaster clone." Then I saw the price... Welp that's not happening. Best of luck though.
Bill Thompson people sell their clones on reverb and even add additional switches so it can not only boost the treble but the mids and the full signal as well
Look up CMC music on Reverb, they make amazing clones for really cheap. I have one of their Rangemaster clones and just love it
Hey bill, I can build you one for around 80 bucks that includes a germanium transistor, tone switch and power switching so you can use it with a regular power supply. Message me if you're interested!
Check out @Master Effects Pedals for his latest iteration of a Rangemaster. It's pretty dope.
Man try the earthquaker devices bows
Simply amazing and so much fun! And true to form, to suggest some affordable options- perfect!
How about some
credits to the rhythm section? Rig rundown for them guys too, please. Er no?
She Said who put all those things in your head....Nice sounds man! And yes Revolver for 1966 and for all time.
I was born in 1966! Hope these are not too expensive? I want them all!
Never mind😬
F
@@druwk Yep, you can almost buy an amp for the same price.
They cost as much as I spent on my Orange Tiny Terror head! Or $100 more than my used USA made Peavey Delta Blues 210!
@@Javier-qk7ms You can buy an AC15 for less than two of these pedals. Its pretty ridiculous.
Got my coffee, the Sun is shining, it's a beautiful Spring morning and there's a new JHS video. Life is good!
Brendan Gilmore you must be South African or Australian
NZ'er dude :)
@@brendangilmore4297 ehh, close enough. ua-cam.com/video/QsIPoRTBV44/v-deo.html
A favorite album from 1966? Easiest question ever - of course, Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys!
If I won the lottery, I think the first thing I’d buy is every Tone Bender I could find
I, 100%, cannot get enough of them. Fantastically cool pedals.
$400 stompboxes LMAO. Holy mackerel, this whole pedal thing has *really* jumped the shark.
I think people are forgetting it's just a handful of components and a circuit board. Especially with pedals like these that are just analog components no complicated digital coding etc. It's become this mystical thing to own a pedal for it's name, or look.
@@SpencerP96 exactly. Just a buncha dorks with more money than brains trying to impress each other. Most of whom couldn't tell a "boutique pedal" from a Line6 Spider multi-effects thingamabob in a blind Pepsi challenge.
You know people like Josh are laughing their asses off all the way to the bank.
@@dystopiagear6999 Yeah I mean dont get me wrong I have a lot of nice "boutique" and vintage gear. But at this point this pedal hype is ridiculous. It's a few components on a circuit board. But people want to pretend that if they dont have that 400 dollar pedal made from that certain person then there's no way to obtain it. It's all hype at this point.
Being from England living close to Newmarket I tend to knock these up myself with original components and lucky enough to have most (no rangemaster😣) of these original pedals to copy the topology from..In reality these pedals should only cost between 5 and 15 dollars in parts including the Hammond enclosures. My advise is to build them yourself and modify your own flavour of circuitry to stand out from the crowd..same as the 2 Jimmys did.
Also you can save your 400 dollars and buy a nice modern well built guitar..they are out there and you can find em...
JHS has got to be my favorite guitar company ever! So transparent about all their products, very honest and wholesome opinions about competitors, offers such an awesome perspective as to why their products are great without trying to shove it down your throats to buy and even then you get videos about why other pedals are great and educating their market. Not to mention their products are amazing!
I was not compensated to do this, I'm just a big fan ^_^
I'll take all of them...oh wait that's $1600.00!
They all sound great 😎but out of my range
As someone that is starting school soon, I want to thank you for the delima of eating or getting a fuzz sound that I adore.
I love me a good fuzz nerdity episode. My bank account does not love it.
10000% agree.
They’ve got the Pollinator and Firefly used on Reverb, Tonebender and Fuzzface. They both sound great. Go for those
@@24ZEPACDC I've probably had more benders than any other fuzz food group. Every damned one of them is different. The transistor types they choose, the way they have them biased, all different.
fun fact: i have yet to find a fuzz pedal (from u tube vids at least) im looking for besides this yellow tone royce (price) and another which the name escapes me. how i wish there wad a good clear throaty bottom end-y pleasing fuzz pedal...and i dig fuzzes
Awesome channel ! Thank you Josh and guys from Quebec !
Very cool new pedals, bit expensive for us commoners but nevertheless cool indeed... Sure wish that amp was a bit more affordable too but I still Love ya J... Cool episode!
So great, the boost especially. But all of it. Love love love them all!
1966: Buffalo Springfield by Buffalo Springfield (1st LP)
Ya
1966 a great year which also gave us Revolver and Pet Sounds. Love both
If you're going to sell boutique-style fuzzes at $400 a pop you need to specify which transistors you are using at the very least. We're talking Castledine, D*A*M and PigDog prices with none of the references or provenance.
Great sounding and great looking and meaningful pedals, well done!
Oh - a newly redesigned JHS logo, I see? So long whatever that old font was, hello... I want to say... Avenir Next Black?
Absolutely rad! Blonde on Blonde is also rad! Without googling... Revolver.
We should start a year-by-year thread on Pedalboards of Doom. Find which other years might be notable. I'm holding out for a 1972 series....(coz I'm an old fart).
I woke up in the middle of the night and this suggestion came to me, cause all good ideas come at 3:37am. ‘Do an episode on pedals you love to turn off.’ Not sure what to make of that, but I have faith you do.
East West, Paul Butterfield Blues Band 1966
Once again, proving that taking the mystery out of effect pedal circuits doesn't take away any of the wonder and magic. Great project.
$399 for all four is about right. Take my money now.
I love how you're always willing to recommend pedals from other companies, rather than, "Hey. Buy MY pedals!"
FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS
Give me a break 🙄
Good on ya for shouting out lower priced ones tho
For, like, the first pedals ever made though....
@@CodyAlushin for clones, however faithful. A vintage tonebender can be had for not much more that Josh's.
It does speak volumes to what a passion project this is, and to Josh's character imo, that he listed some great cheaper alternatives.
Exactly @@gonzoengineering4894, he knows what these are and he knows his audience. I've bought both JHS and other brand's pedals from these videos and all have been great. Dude is KNOWLEDGABLE.
@@CodyAlushin I don't give two shits how knowledgeable he is, those prices are elitist bullshit
Randal Clarke Lol. Broke crybaby.
That snare sound is the best thing about JHS any video
Bender is most my style probably. All cool though.
Brilliant!!! The line, the shirt, brilliant!!!
I’m all for boutique gear, and getting what you pay for, but I don’t see the two lining up with these pedals. You introduce them here like they’re intended for the audience of this show, but I guarantee you that only a small percentage of your viewers can/will buy any of it at such price points. It’s great that building them is something special you can do with your kids, but I doubt they’re “$400 special”. To be clear, it’s not the gear itself I have a problem with. I’m sure they all sound amazing, but maybe NAMM is a better place for such an announcement instead of UA-cam, where the majority of your audience is younger players without a lot of cash to spend. Harley Benton is a household name thanks entirely to UA-cam.
At first I thought the pedals were a new budget line for JHS; they certainly look cheaper. And I thought “Wow what a great idea! This could put more JHS pedals on more boards! They really know their audience!” Guess not. I realize there are plenty of pros and hobbyists who will pay those elevated prices, but you’re alienating a LARGE chunk of your viewers this way.
I just don’t understand pedal companies thinking “There are some great classic pedals out there that everyone should have but they’re old and/or rare. I know! I’ll make my own versions so more people can finally experience their greatness! Oh, and I’ll make them prohibitively expensive to really minimize how many people can buy and enjoy them! Genius!”
gotta preserve the pro studio status quo somehow i guess
Good news is he only made a few, so should be enough to service that portion of the shows audience that would be interested. I tend to think those that are turned off by the price will probably still watch an episode or two when they get back to not having an episode specifically introducing a limited pedal run.
I think an original tone bender is 1200-1500$ so this is actually kind of a deal? Glass half full?
@@canaanlawrence7351 there are lots of tone bender copies for way less. How do you guys think he affords all of these guitars and vintage pedals? By over charging you 300 for a clone.
Excellent side project Josh. Awesome tones. I'm a geezer, so these are the sounds I grew up with and associate with great music. It is amazing to hear that, even after decades of emulations, the original circuits still eclipse (see what I did there?) many of the current crop. You're inspiring a back closet rummage this weekend. I still have a couple of interesting pieces in my collection including an original Sam Ash Fuzzz Boxxx, and a Univox Super Fuzz (Superman version), plus the usual selection of Ibanez, MXR, EHX, Ross and Boss stuff from the 1980's.
That amp is cool but not almost 3 grand cool.
I ask the most important question: the t-shirts are RAD. Thanks for the Thread and Spoke shoutout. You are setting Autumnal fashion trends! Don’t be reticent about the New Balance. You’ve got it going on.
How long do you have to be in the band before you get a hat?
You normally get a hat when your hair starts disappearing. I'm sure we can all name someone...
Blonde on Blonde is one of the greatest blues recordings, and simultaneously one of the greatest albums of tragic love songs, of all time. On the one side, you have tunes like "Leopard-skin pillbox hat", "Pledging my time", and "Obviously five believers". On the other side you have "Visions of Johanna", "I want you", "Just like a woman", and "Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands". Hard to find two more diametrically-opposed styles. And then you have tunes that I can only describe as road tunes for singing along to in the car, like "Rainy day women", and "Most likely you'll go your way and I'll go mine". "Sooner or later (one of us must know)" shakes me to the core every time I hear it. The drumming in it is landmark. One of my desert-island discs for many years now.
I will legally change my name to Jimi Hendrix just so I can judge you.
I love that josh isn't afraid to recommend other products and is supportive of other companies
There is only one album that mattered in 1966. The Beatles - Revolver.
See my post above.
Agreed.
Finally I understood why learning history is important that you even got history class in schools. It helps you selling your products with higher price.
