Hey everyone! Please check out the full description for info on the gear in this episode, the white JHS amp, Josh's guitar and strap and links to gear and the record in Record Time. Thanks for watching!
Just thought I would mention the hidden dip switch, that turns on the original ZW circuit in the GT-OD.
Hey Josh... how about a video devoted to your guitar collection ???
Guilt trip master level.
JHS Pedals all i want for you to feature is an Asian made pedal against the US made pedal. doesn’t matter if it’s a modulation or a dirt pedal
Hey! A while ago I did some research and virtually created a pedalboard where almost every item was under 50$, sometimes well under. I'll mention a couple of the ones I found most interesting, both from XVive: The V9 Lemon Squeezer (compressor) and the T1 Golden Brownie (allegedly a vintage JCM 800 in a tiny box). I wonder if you know them and what you think. If you haven't heard of them, I hope this comment helps you to discover some new pedals! www.xviveaudio.com I'd also mention their Tube Screamer but it seems to be out of production currently. It was nice because it was at the same time a Fuzz pedal once you cranked the gain past 12 o'clock, according to the reviews.
This man is the sole reason I spend 75% of my disposable income on guitar pedals.
Me too. It takes ages saving up 75 cents a week.
@@castleanthrax1833 bruh
You have disposable income?
If you haven’t watched his sweetwater episode yet… you’re not the only one.. he’s pretty much the face of the Behringer Super Fuzz, Sweetwaters #1 selling pedal..
They seem to have gone up a lot in value, so hey!
$50 pedals that, if you don’t act fast, will become $100 pedals
goobtuber shoot man, I have him to thank for selling my bbe sonic stomp.
TRUE!!
@@serkanonf that's like a nowhere comment...
He had won the victory over himself. He loved Reverb.
$100 pedals that dont suck*
Mad respect for a pedal brand to be shouting out products from other brands. You guys are just amazing
gateway drugs to get you addicted!
"You've got 25$"
...that's where you're wrong pal :/
Pretty much the same
Time to write a blues song.
I hear ya'.
Bro same
😂
This really is like yelling "FIRE" in the crowded theater that is Reverb.
AHAHAHA
"Pedals that used to be $50 that don't suck". There, I fixed that title for ya.
4 years later, Josh is still a treasure to the music world. We gotta protect this man
$50 pedals that are actually $100+ when you're from Australia 😭
That so sad, but in my country Indonesia most people just like fake brand like fender, gibson, ibanez, prs, and all
I just got 2 donner pedals for $50 each. Free delivery in Aus. They have distribution from Victoria.
and 200 if you’re from Russia
And 200+ here in Russia!)
@@andrewryan2280 They're on special now. Buy one and get one free.
It's a pun. Edward the Compressor. After Edward the Confessor, one of the last Saxon Kings of England.
And some here were thinking it meant Edward Van Halen! Go figure.
Thanks for pointing that. Had no clue and i own the pedal. Lol. Wikipedia is helping.
There's also a rack compressor by a different manufacturer that's explicitly named "Edward the Compressor". Marshall probably knew that and went a bit subtle with their pedal.
Screaming skulls!
Came here to say exactly this! Pretty much the only reason I bought the pedal, tbh.
I had this on in the background and that scream during the Donner Pedal demo scared the shit outta me
Only thing missing in these vids are eyebrows
Hahahahahahahaha
What a dick
bruh what happened to em
Winner
o o f
"Amazing pedals for under $50 that will double in price in the next 2 weeks."
Amazing how much of an influence Josh has been on the used pedal market. Really goes to show how well regarded he's become since starting this channel.
jhs pedal man bad. JHS PEDAL MAN BAD!
...or good??
Kioni Hernandez where bad means good?
This series has been an excellent PR move for Josh and Co. He has a great personality, and is a very good player in his own right. The fact that he spotlights other companies comes across very selfless. Overall, it's just a very engaging project.
@@thetribalist6923 agreed, and as someone who buys and sells pedals, im all for it. bout time some of these pedals got their due, people already had at least 10 years to snatch em up before
@@JTHelectronics that's actually a great point. I know it's mostly a running gag, but all the talk about Josh inflating prices of these pedals is bound to draw unfounded criticism. These pedals have been on the market for ages. Consumers have had so much time to buy them, that there really shouldn't be any legitimate disdain.
In the 45 years since I played my first gigs, I've watched the pedal industry explode into a multi-faceted scene, catering for everyone from the multi-millionaire rock star, with more money than sense, to the kid saving their pocket money for their first overdrive. In the 70's, an MXR distortion plus retailed in the UK (from whence mine came), for what was then 2 weeks wages. But today, as your show so amply demonstrates, princes and paupers alike, can revel in the wonderful world of guitar effects. And thanks to people such as yourself, the hideous snobbery that so often spoils the enjoyment for the less financially fortunate, is turned on it's pompous ass, with proof (if it were needed), that great sounds are available, without a great bank account. Thanks again Josh, for keeping it real.
FWIW, I have a $30 (Australian, so probably about US$4.50) boost pedal by Kokko, that never leaves my board. A lot of the pedals in this episode, are a fair bit more expensive in Australia, but still reasonable. And its great to have the Guru of More Good give the nod to these cheaper expression machines.
The Donner pedal was good. Skull guest is even better. The highlight of the whole damn video right there😂
God i love this channel, no gimmicks or someone trying to shove a product down your throat, this channel at its core is a love for pedals and gear.
Love the screamin' skull 😂
I laughed so hard. What a finale. 😸
Y'all should make a high-gain mini pedal, and call it the Screaming Skull
How much for the Skull ???
Yeah, got a snort-laugh from me there.
Yeah that was amazing :')
$29 compressor that ships for an extra $60! Reverb sellers are out of control!
7:01
You think Reverb is bad Now!
Just wait they Sold therself to Etsy
Or something like that I'm sure it will get worse
Reverb shipping is ridiculous
that sounds like overseas ship prices, reverb is individual sellers a la ebay. it's sister company of chicago music exchange but as long as fees don't go up don't expect changes in pricing. reverb used gear has a premium, sure, but they have better support than guitar center, which still has cheap used gear if you know what to look for
Reverb allways sucks on shipping prices. So forget reverb and shop amazon, ebay or my favourite thomann.de, thomann is much more cheap
Yeah, the screaming skull bit cracks me up every time. Seriously, there needs to be a complete song of this produced and put up for sale on your site.
Great. Now the prices are going to skyrocket on... Etsy?
facts
Yeah, but now you can get hand knitted pedal cozies with birds on them from the same site you get your pedals from. Just what we, the people, asked for.
@@SpaceCowboy57 With that considered, this is an absolute win.
You can get cool fuzz pedals on Etsy, a lot of them are fuzz face/big muff style circuits with a few component swaps but there's some quirky ones too
That's why Etsy bought Reverb.
The screaming 💀 is the best thing on the UA-cam today
Great laugh to start your day. 🌄
Alas, poor Yorick! I head banged with him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent metal screams.
The combo of tiny pedal and screaming skull. Best.
Ive never bought pedals simply because of the cost barrier, but this really is nice to see not just that there ARE pedals under 50, but hearing what they sound like REALLY helps spur that desire to actually get into pedals.
There were, anyway...
@@Billkwandomy thoughts this whole video
i came back to this video after 2 years, i now own a skysurfer reverb and i got happy when i saw it being showcased like a lil toddler
That skull bit at 12:09 was killer
Josh is raising the bar on entertainment originality. 😹
I built a cheap board all pedals under $50.00 two of my favorites are the Donner Boost Killer great pedal! And the Monoprice 611605 compressor
I put together a totally expendable "dad rock" pedal board - for the rare occasion when I get to play in someone else's garage or basement for a change - for $190 (incl shipping) based around this type of stuff too: Joyo Pipebomb Compressor/Dano Fab OD/Dano Pepperoni Phaser/Mosky Delay/Mosky Reverb.
Boost Killer is amazing. I bought two more within a day of the first one arriving.
I had no clue that monoprice made guitar pedals, thanks for mentioning that.
I run a Donner Tube Drive as a boost into my Marshall CODE25. I can nail the VH 'Ain't Talkin' Bout Love' tone.
Man, the guitar examples in this video are my favourite of Josh’s playing so far on the channel, so so so good with each effect, especially that flanger
I love that my old Bandmaster head and 2x12 cab is always in the background on these episodes.
I used that thing on a half dozen records over the years. It's incredible.
Ok you can never ever do a metal pedal without the screaming skull.
What about a screaming walrus?
From now on, I will play metal with a small orange cab and this ridiculously tiny pedal... AND a skull.
That skull on the metal pedal was a fun addition.
Almost all of these are at least twice the price that they were in this video less than a year later.
I was like “oh goodie I can afford a pedal”
... :(
Inflation plus UA-camr inflation and you’ve got double the price. The circle is becoming silly. The influencer’s give you the secrets, but the secret is know to the world creating demand and more inflated prices demanded by sellers?
22% more dollars were printed up this year. That will make a difference also.
Damn
My love for this channel has no limits! It's unbelievable nowadays for a brand to promote products of its biggest competitors. But JHS does it and does it good. This shows that it's better to make friends than foes. I would love to get a JHS pedal, even if it were just to promote this stuff! A bit above my budget but if I could, I would pick up a Kodiak without second thoughts! Also, your pedal collection is I-N-S-A-N-E ! Cheers
The glazing is crazy
@@quandaliousvandinglebingle246shut up
I really love this series you do. I look forward every week for some great guitar pedal knowledge! You're awesome Josh!
Blur: Self titled album. Graham Coxon's guitar work on that album is sublime.
But is Graham Coxon’s guitar work ever not sublime?
Agreed
Travis is a great band. So glad to see the love for this underappreciated genius group.
When I first started playing acoustic gigs, I used the Edward the Comp pedal as a vocal comp with a Hi Z cable adapter. I used it subtly & once I dialed it in, it worked unbelievable well. It made my vocal notes sustain smoother and it helped even out the dynamics so I didn't have to move in & out as much. It actually sounded professional.
Btw, I think if more people tried a bit of comp on their live vocals, they'd love it & so would their audience. It's almost like adding a bit of Autotune but in a more natural way. (Kind of similar to how reverb smooths notes out & makes them sound more steady/ uniform).
$50 pedals that are now $80 pedals....
@DontListen ToMe thanks Putin
$100 here in Canada
My printer's broken, I don't own a car, and there's no Starbucks in my town. Time for pedals!
The unexpected skull made me laugh so much I have to change my trousers....
Josh playing metal on a jazzmaster saved my life. Thank you, Josh.
That DOD flanger was my first pedal back when I was a tiny tiny dribbling young person! I dug it out recently and used it on a recording for the first time in... a certain amount of years... I always thought it sounded how it looks: shiny and blue.
The skull almost killed me 😆
Tuna Melt has been on my board for years. Bought it as a lark. It's subtle but adds a nice pulse to your tone. It's surprisingly holding up too.
None of these are $50 anymore
Skysurfer is still $40
12:10 gave me my first really good laugh of the morning...thanks Josh! 🤣🤣
Yep got me giggling. And 12:33. If it’s worth doing once it’s worth doing 3 times?
FINALLY! Someone else understands why everyone should love baby blue guitar pedals.
Blue sounds better. It's scientifically proven.
@@toothace3 blue sounds better, but red makes you play faster. It's a difficult choice to make
Thank God it's not baby brown )
@@duffman18 I was just about to post something very similar when I read your comment. In the world of motorcycles, it is common to hear/read someone commenting that: With two exact motorcycles (same manufacturer, same model, same model year, same equipment, etc), with the only difference being the paint colour: The Red one is faster!
I know this video is like two years old but the riff you played with the Danelectro tremolo was actually so inspiring.
Just wanted to say this channel has become my favorite UA-cam channel and I can't get enough of it. I've always loved guitar pedals even though I mostly play bass and synth. Some cheap pedals I have bought that I like are the Joyo JF-12 Voodoo Octava (it's green!!), Caline CP-26 reverb, Donner Ultimate Comp compressor & the Caline CP-18 Orange Burst overdrive. I was doing an experiment to see if I liked cheap pedals as much as the expensive stuff. I Liked them a lot. They are sturdy in metal enclosures and all sound good to me. My point is that for me price does not correlate to how much I like a pedal. Your video Made me happy because a person like you who is respected in the pedal world is kinda saying the same thing or at least that's my interpretation. Thanks for all the awesome videos you are making.
Stone Roses' SECOND COMING is my favorite Brit rock album.
I've almost always had a DS-1 on hand. So that's my favorite under $50 pedal -- especially now that I discovered the capacitor mod! I liked that baby blue reverb.
That Travis record is flat out amazing. Excellent choice sir!
I had that DOD Flanger when I was a kid, and paired with a Boss DS-1, it made me so happy. That pedal is AWESOME
I have it now. It's brutal lol.. Sucks all the bass out your signal into a cold metallic flange hell. Also, out of 10 pedals i have in the chain it makes the most noise, an ear piercing ring with paired with certain other effects. HOWEVER, you pump the bass up a bit and do some overdrive/compression before it hits this pedal and it's crazy good. Amazing. Will probably never switch it out, it's cherry on top of my heavy sound, the final layer before maybe an all encompassing stereo verb or delay at the very end of the chain. Helps me sound like Neil Young and the Horse at their heaviest and most psychedelic. That or Hawkwind. FK YEAH.
I have it. It is fun to jam with. It has never made it to any of my recordings or gigging tunes, but I still can't let it go.
Dude! I just came across your channel a couple days ago. You have the most glorious pedal collection I have ever seen. Keep on Keeping on!
I would love to see you do a full on Joyo episode covering their pedals as well as the Dr J stuff you were talking about.
I miss this kind of video! I also miss Reverb having anything under $50
The skysurfer is on my backup/practice board. Awesome and when it came to my aid in the moment of need, it delivered!
My favorite moment on that Travis album is during “As You Are” when the big guitar comes in around 2:40. It’s way too loud but it’s perfect.
Hey Josh, how about an episode on ridiculously cheap Amazon brands like Ammoon?
i would def be interested to hear what he reps from that part of the market
Yeah. I'd love to see that. I have a Kokko compressor that is incredible from Amazon.
Pedals made by slaves. No thanks
@@davecarpenter2517 your mum was made by slaves
I saw Travis live in Liverpool. They were supporting Longpigs and when they announced a song called "All I want to do is rock" everyone laughed. Then they went big and Longpigs went away. I loved Longpigs.
What a band name
The sun is often out...great album.
Longpigs were excellent. Travis... not so much, hahaha. I remember someone getting increasingly angry, arguing that 'driftwood' had incredibly deep lyrics, full of meaning, that was a fun time
I love that Travis album. Thanks for the reminder. The overdriven guitar part on As You Are (orange amp) is soooooo good.
Just listened to “writing to reach you”. I’m now a fan! (Insert slow 👏🏻 clap)...What a phenomenal recommendation! Your show is simultaneously informative and awesome. A pedal manufacturer that is willing to support and endorse other pedal companies (mind blown 🤯).
Please keep it up!
I recommend the TC Electronic MojoMojo. It's $50 and sounds awesome. Paul Gilbert uses it, and he had some amazing tone when I saw him live a while back, so I got one for myself and it sounds great. It has a lot of gain available as well, at least enough to do 70s hard rock.
Mojo mojo is like a dark matter light.get the dark matter.you might need exra gain someday:)
I just boost with my overdrive (the Moonshine side of my JHS Sweet Tea usually) and there's enough gain. The MojoMojo by itself is good for more classic rock levels of gain.
I love my mojo mojo. Best bang for the buck
I’ve tried quite a few Danelectro pedals that I really liked. The Fish and Chips EQ is actually one of my favorite EQ pedals. Even the little mini ones are usually great sounding.
I've got the MXR GT-OD! I struggled for years making it work for me. Now I'm using it without expecting things it can't do, I use it for what it's good for.
Just come across your channel and love it. Very informative for someone aged 60 just getting into playing the guitar.
Dude, yes to Travis! I’m a hard rock guy, and this album is secretly one of my favorite records too. I consider it a comfort album when I need amazing warm tones, tasteful songwriting, and inspiration. Also, how about that bonus track?! Blue Flashing Lights tips.
Thanks for the amazing video, I might just go out and buy all of these pedals!
oh man the skull scream at the end got me good, hilarious!
Screaming skull during the donner metal pedal made me subscribe, honestly made my day
I love these kind of episodes.. Pedals from the past we forgot about or didn't kno to begin with. Love it..
He needs to do a whole episode on donner pedals, I love their mini pedals
Absolutely lovin' that Sky Surfer!
The reason why Travis reference Wonderwall in the song is that he uses the same chords as oasis but in a different order. Read an interview where he stated it when it was released.
That DOD flanger was the first pedal I ever bought, and still one of my favorites.
Badly Drawn Boy: "The Hour of the Bewilderbeast."
Favorite Brit Rock Record.
I can only hope Skelly becomes a regular.
Big fan of that DOD pedal. Its subtle sounds work great on recordings. Favorite cheap pedals are probably the Behringer Fuzz, MXR Custom Modified Overdrive, and the Microtron.
Great video as usual! My favorite brit rock is the Kooks early stuff. Thanks for the tip on Travis. Liking it so far. 🤙
The deadbeat delay is so good. I use it for a slap delay (in my ska punk band) and as a long delay when I’m playing ambient music by myself. It is unbelievably good and versatile for the price. The foot switch is a little noisy but I run it through a looper so I have no problem with that
That compressor was $29 plus $57.80 for shipping.
lol
Donner yellow fall delay would sound great at $100, but good news it is only $30!
I really dig mine. No complaints at all.
I got two for christmas a couple years ago. Instead of returning them, it has ended up being really useful having two different types of delay on my pedalboard.
I have the Donner Eternal Bind and it has every delay you could ever need! Plus it's a looper!
I love my yellow fall pedsl. Great sounding delay.
Thanks for the album recommendation! I had never heard of it, and really enjoy it. I just started watching your videos yesterday, and I'm thinking of skimming through a bunch of them for the album recommendations.
I had forgotten about that Travis album. It got me through a few long, weird nights at work for sure!
You have to check out the TC electronic Dark Matter Distortion ! It's a formidable overdrive
"Why Does it Always Rain on Me" is a lost classic.
An EPIC video! I enjoy your spirit and wit and love of all things effects pedal. Thanks!!!
I'm about to buy my first pedal ever and have a tight budget, this is really helpful thanks a lot
I’ve never seen anyone publicly praise The Man Who for how good it is. Radiohead aside, the best Godrich production
JHS, I loved this episode. Im a big fan of the TC Electronics Skysurfer. I picked one up after seeing you recommend it.
I think it would be cool if you could do an episode on DIY pedal builds that you think are worth trying. I'm kind of a nerd and like DIY stuff like this, and I think a lot of your viewers would agree.
I would! It's been some time, so if you've found something like that I would love to know. Or if you can just recommend some stuff yourself :)
@@Dapno_ I'm late but building your own Jan Ray isn't very hard, schematics are easy to get, and it sounds great :)
The DOD FX-75B was my first Pedal ever back in 1991. Still have it today, beat to hell and still works. Bonus is I still have the battery cover!!
I dig the videos a lot. Super helpful for somebody, like me, that has limited pedal knowledge.
Also, I like that you’re a fellow bike dork.
"Purchase and own simultaneously" - This guy cracks really me up :)
Donner pedals are killers!!, i have 2 and i’m in love with those nano powers!
The more I watch, the more I love this channel. Great sense of humor, too.
I love the DOD Flanger. I almost forgot I used to own one. I had a Boss Flange too. I loved both of them. The Boss was more edgy and kind of in your face. It's a sweet flanger. But the DOD had it's own thing going. It could get pretty crazy, too. But the beautiful thing about it was the way you could dial in a lot of flange but it would still have a kind of softness to it that made it perfect for some situations that the Boss wasn't good for.
Great pedal! Glad to see it in the list.
Travis` The Man Who....one of my favorite albums. So good
I was listening very loudly and the screaming skull scared me
. I have heart disease due to a heart attack and need to avoid intense emotions or scares but it's funny because after the scare I laugh a lot
. The videos on this channel are addictive, you can't be indifferent. Well Josh really seems to be a super nice guy from those guys that is worth having a good conversation.
Man he almost killed you :'(
TRAVIS has always been super under appreciated and noticed outside of British rock and that does sadden me but loved when you revealed this record and rocking band all peeps should discover
Yes, TC Electronic is my 1st reverb pedal :) ... and it sounds amazingly good, very happy to see it listed here.
The T1 Golden Brownie by Xvive is hands down the best $50 (or less) pedal I've ever played. It pretty much nails the Marshall JCM800 sound. Favorite Brit-Rock record is a tie between the self-titled album or "Dog Man Star" by Suede (aka The London Suede).
it'd be interesting to see a list of like "here's some pedals that have totally unique topologies and aren't based on anything"
@superpamber most of the earthquaker pedals i know of are digital, which probably have pretty standard "fresh off the datasheet" layouts with all the unique magic being packed away inside DSP chips
That would be a short list.
The Man Who!!! In my top 5 favourite records of all time. Huge impact on inspiring my guitar playing.
The GT-OD is awesome with a tube screamer with the gain turned down in front of it. So good for metal chugging
