Josh is a pedal manufacturer, but also a pedal lover. It’s nice to hear his attitude toward affordable pedals as appreciating how nice this is for guitarists instead of how terrible it is to have to compete with them on price.
@@edryba4867 Back in the day, people would laugh you out of the room if you used Hosa cables, and now I see everybody raving about them.

Yeah I generally don’t mess with Hosa unless desperate and the store has nothing else. They make 1 gig midi cables but it got you through the gig until you unplugged it and the ground broke 😆. I think the patch cables may fair better and are easy to replace or potentially repair but I am spoiled now and don’t mind spending as much on two patch cables as a Chinese fuzz box.
"There's no reason not to own this." - - - This is going to get buried in the 400 other remarks, so whatevs. But ... These two guys (you two guys on the off chance either of you see this) & Henning are f#cking awesome for actually demoing these things - & also for not saying "for the money" everytime. Some of these things are just plain "great" regardless of the price. In the hundreds of thousands of AliBaba specials there's of course lots of garbage - but there's some real jems. I love having a 6-pedal board that sounds good that costs the same as a "regular" overdrive (which is of course cool too). Thanks for digging through the pile on our behalf.
Ha, that's a great observation, saying "for the money" every time ruins a lot of these videos...who wants to watch mediocre sounding gear reviews, right ? But some snobs are more concerned with protecting their boutique ears reputation before admitting to the talent behind some affordable products.
Josh is such a great sport. He could be “yeah, it’s cute for it’s price.” Instead he’s like, “this is really cool I’m going to feature this on my show.” The whole while his own business is potentially in direct competition. What a solid dude!
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power right. Inexpensive doesn't always mean "cheap". As a player you will pay what you think a certain effect/sound is worth TO YOU.

being cool about competition is one thing the greatest only can do. He's clearly not a snob :) and he is really analizing how the circuits sound, that's awesome :D
I’m glad Josh said it here, “if it works, you can use it” *Ode to Joy plays at 120dB* yes yes yes. We don’t all need the exact same gear and there’s no shame if you get the sounds you want and get to make music w your friends.
The entire Afford-A-Board series is fantastic, but this video is sooo academic in the right ways. Easy to understand and follow, even for newbie like myself. Great content!
I have so much respect for Josh. He designs, manufactures and sells pedals for a living and yet he doesn't diss pedals by other brands. Remarkable character. I am going to buy me a JHS Series 3 pedal even though I'm try to build my own affordaboard.
I just realized how perfect Ryan would be on a 90’s sitcom. Look at that funny turn and face the camera while the intro plays. Look! what’s that in his hands? Haha it’s more guitars! Oh Ryan! Lol gosh

Ryan, your Affordaboard series has been amazing to see evolve. Perfect branding on your part. You may want to 'retire' this board and then start with "Affordaboard 21" where you start again with the shootouts on currently (2021) available pedals. Then at the end of the year compare A-20 vs A-21 boards.
I’ve been watching both of you for no less that 37-years, but I only just saw this crossover! This is heart-warming! You should try to get one of the oak barrel aged overdrive pedals!
Two of the very best fun pedal savants on UA-cam together. I hope this becomes a regular feature. That Afford-A-Board makes me want to buy every pedal on it even though I purchased an HX Stomp so I wouldn't need to buy separate pedals any more. What an awesome video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. You guys had me laughing out loud as well. 😎😂
@@Ottophil exactly! 😂🤣. What if you had Keenan Ivory and Damon Wayans reprising their “Mo Money” characters reviewing pedals from the back of a delivery truck 🙃
The Donner delay is really sweet, but they just added a dual tape echo that is just bazonkers. Unbelievably good and if you're a stereo guy, you're gonna flip.
Ryan, this was so much fun to watch! You really have found amazing pedals for very affordable prices. Josh's approval just hammers home the point that you've already made so well - we absolutely do not need a huge budget to put together a really great sounding and fun pedalboard nowadays!
A lot of fun to have this on while getting some busy work done. When something caught my ear, just stop and take a closer look - otherwise, just felt like hanging out. Thank you both!
Josh is incredibly down to earth and open to promoting pedals that could well draw sales away from his own company. It just makes me want to buy more JHS pedals. I think he might be an evil genius!
Dude! I've been watching your videos for a while (well, like a year-ish) and love JHS! How have I never seen this?!?! You're great too, of course! Very cool!
The Dolamo D-8 is a Caline Highway Man circuit that is a Timmy with bass and treble pots not rev-log (as they would be with a timmy that cuts bass-treble counter clockwise) but log and lin.
Josh Scott being given a brief tutorial on how to find cheap pedals on Amazon, is priceless...much unlike the affordaboard. The look on Josh's face was hilarious!
My buddy recently got back into playing and needed a new board so I showed him your channel and he's been working on his own Affordaboard based on your recommendations. His name is also Ryan haha
great video to watch, seeing Josh process the innards as he listens to the tones. This series motivated me to build a affordaboard. So far it consists of Soniccake Fazy Cream(Fuzz), Outlaw effects Deputy Marshall(Distortion),Mimidi(OD), Donner Evolution(Mod square),Ammoon Pockecho(Delay and Looper), Soniccake Twiggy blues.(4 in 1)About $320 canadian.
All my pedals are "affordaboard" candidates, some of which I got after watching Ryan. My fav is the Cuvave Fuzz, but I love all the small format pedals. It's not only the price, it's the flexibility that you just cannot get from an all-in-one.
This was really enjoyable. The playing and creativity throughout was inspiring. I play through loads of those pedal parameters and sounds and think wtf am I doing. Then I hear this. My children are getting flangers every Christmas from now on.
“I would have loved doing that!” That’s what I said about the reverse... referring to moist of my life after I gave up guitar. Man! So glad to be playing again-Thank you both.
I love this channel, and the fact that Josh gives careful consideration to any & all pedals that are worthy [and sometimes unworthy]. I have learned so much from this channel, and I greatly appreciate that, guys! I have purchased three JHS pedals thus far, and they are my favorites amongst my pedal train comprised of boutique pedals. Nonetheless, JHS pedals sound phenomenal, and they are very easy to dial in compared to other high-end pedals. The team at JHS are brilliant. You will never regret the purchase of any JHS pedal - Believe the hype, people! YOLT. . .
“I love noise. I’ve embraced the noise.” Haha…great commentary and impressive selection. Thank you for extremely helpful analysis of affordable pedals.
Road case series sponsored by tour gear design cables. Spends several minutes raving about Hosa cables. This just goes to show that Ryan don't give a damn about being a slave to sponsors!
Great comments from between 39.00 and 40.00, including the remark that by modern standards iconic pedals became that way, due to their availability at the time, and circumstance. This is great argument for using what you have, and not getting too hung up on perfection. I mean, there's a whole lot of signature guitars hanging on CEO'S walls that have never been played, and probably never will be.
Wow, I picked up the ISET Flanger because of this video for $26.08 free shipping! It arrived in around 3 days if I recall, and it sounds great! Everything is solid and the switch is quiet through the amp and no white noise that I noticed in my setup. Thanks! I also have the Island on it's way to arrive this Friday.
I too thought that the Mosky Spring Reverb had a bar code design, but it's actually replicating the three springs of a reverb tank. Nice pedal. I like mine a lot.
yeah it's only got 2 transistors. i don't know what it is and i'd like to trace the circuit, but i've got enough fuzzes and it's not that different from a muff to be fair (also it's $40 now, not 20).
Cheers me up every time I see it, and I think I am spending more time watching Ryan's videos playing guitar with pedals than I am spending learning how to play my guitar with pedals......
I realize this is counter to the "cheap" ethos being promoted, but I'm curious as heck about the pickup selection and wiring of that BILT guitar. I'll have top visit Josh's channel to see if there's more info on this unique assembly of parts.
Funniiy enough it didn't. I think guitar 'buyers' just became crazier in the past couple of years. Luckily most normal people put the blame on them rather than Josh.
I like the Donner Reverb! It's called the Vintaverb. Definitely some modes better than other, and some noise, but it actually does some unique stuff I haven't seen anywhere! Infinite hold reverb with verb-d playover that feeds into it (it does get pretty loud when you do that so I run early chain into comp). Also DsVerb (distorted tails) is pretty cooo!
Donner does great pedals that go under the radar for some reason, but then again, that's good for us broke rockers who want to experiment and play with sounds without being discouraged by pricey pedals...
First cuvave fuzz I got was glorious. I tried to buy a second as a backup and it sounded “fixed”. No bias gate shit. Booooo! Bought five more trying to find another. No dice. Dude... tell them to make them the old way! I was able to sell the ones I bought on reverb thankfully customers were happy with them.
It's Donner, short "o" and double-n, like the reindeer. The word means "thunder". The European (Turkish actually) meat dish is a Döner (Doener), one n, long "o", pronounced the same as one who makes a contribution to a cause. And now that's something you know. Great vid, I'll be buying some pedals in the near future. 👍👍👍😃😃😃
Every time I see an affordable mini flanger with the 1 big knob, 2 small knobs and the mini toggle, I assume it's the same as Mooer e-lady. The one here does sound pretty much identical.
First affordaboard build out … trying out the caline Sundance special (bb preamp) and the andes (pure sky) over drive/boost, the mosky spring reverb, donner looper/drum machine…. And CUVAVE! Can’t wait to put it all together. Thanks for all the great content.
I am surprised by the cuvave and how it can clean up, i had to dime the amp treble , dime the tone knob, roll off all the fuzz, and back off the guitar volume just a hair. Clean to cleanish tones and then full distortion with guitar volume. Pretty awesome !
"Im just angry and cheap" "that makes you a philosopher"

Average American? Is that YOU?! I've missed you!!! 💝🎁
"You're like a tone philosopher."
"No, no. I like that pedal but it's not cheap enough."

It's like one kid showing another his new Lego.
I'm always amazed on Josh's capacity to pull just the right chords/riffs ideas to showcase pedals!!
He is at his best when he has the box!
well you know he personally has designed and built pedals, so...
Josh is always talking so politely and respectful about cheap pedals, some day I have to return the favour and buy a JHS pedal :P
Hmmm, well maybe that uni vibe pedal, but no more.
Might I reccomend the Haunting Mids

Good to know, now I don’t need one 😆
This video was a ton of fun and informative. I hope you guys collaborate more often!
I've been trying to get my hands on one of those Donner Island Delay pedals since I watched this video and they have been sold out for months!
I just bought one on Donner web site USA today ! $69 on sale free delivery !
Can we please get more videos with these guys. I could listen to them review/talk all day. Like peanut butter and chocolate baby!
In the UK, the first Harry Potter movie is called the Philosophers Stone. This afford-a-board video is the Philosophers Tone!! Lol! 🤣🤣
What’s the affordaboard univibe?
people always ask that and i have no answer.
Ryan: "I've never been accused of not being bright enough."
25:38 Josh's pants: "Hold my beer."
Incredible! I could listen to the two of you for days!
It's Donner, short "o" and double-n, like the reindeer. The word means "thunder". The European (Turkish actually) meat dish is a Döner (Doener), one n, long "o", pronounced the same as one who makes a contribution to a cause. And now that's something you know.
Great vid, I'll be buying some pedals in the near future. 👍👍👍😃😃😃
The Donner Island is amazing! What a set of sounds
Josh’s a great guitar player! Like his style
This was so cool... the reverb section was straight up Crickettes and surfragettes.. IE really really good.
Every time I see an affordable mini flanger with the 1 big knob, 2 small knobs and the mini toggle, I assume it's the same as Mooer e-lady. The one here does sound pretty much identical.
First affordaboard build out … trying out the caline Sundance special (bb preamp) and the andes (pure sky) over drive/boost, the mosky spring reverb, donner looper/drum machine…. And CUVAVE! Can’t wait to put it all together. Thanks for all the great content.
I am surprised by the cuvave and how it can clean up, i had to dime the amp treble , dime the tone knob, roll off all the fuzz, and back off the guitar volume just a hair. Clean to cleanish tones and then full distortion with guitar volume. Pretty awesome !
I had repeated vibes of Ryan turning in his Afford-a-Board project in at JHS University. Professor Scott seemed to approve.
