I “discovered” that trick with the Flight Delay and I thought I was the smartest boy in school. Added tip, do this same thing (no clean signal, faster speed, no repeats) turn on the chorus and then put the EQ all the way down and you’ve got a really interesting muddy chorus sound that I personally love. That EQ is EVERYTHING
This isn’t for your pedal, but a secret setting I’ve never heard talked about before is with the HOF mini one knob reverb. You can use the app to make it do two different sounds loaded at once by making 50% knob be 0% wet. Then 0% knob be 100% wet of your first setting (reverb) and then 100% knob be 100% wet of your second sound (chorus + reverb)
YES, "go find some secret settings" - this was so much fun. I hope more players will take time to tweak their gear. It's perfectly fine to want to sound like someone whom you admire, but personally, I'm looking for that other place we can go in our heads and in our sound. Getting what I hear in my head to come out of the speakers has been and will always be my quest in this musical life. Thanks guys and gals at JHS. "Stop buying pedals" deserves to be a shirt.
A few weeks ago I was about to replace my Special Cranker with a boost pedal, then had the galaxy brain idea of just turning down the drive knob. Instant free Clean boost!
Ive literally been binge watching JHS pedals older episodes and now you drop a new episode on me like that. This needs to stop…ok keep ‘em coming 😂 love the pedals and the channel!
I just got a Pulp ‘n Peel as first in the chain on a mini board. Never thought I’d be gushing over a compressor. The distortion gooses the envelope filter after it in such a cool way. Killer pedal!
With the Morning Glory… connect a piano sustain pedal instead of the red remote. Hit the pedal repeatedly. You can go back as forward between the high and low gain. It’s a fun effect.
I've used this trick on the kilt pedal also to flip from OD to Fuzz and... I even installed a momentary switch (button) on my guitar with its own output jack so I can do this on the guitar without a pedal 😲
Please do more videos like this. Just little tips and things that you designed into your pedals / circuits. Nobody reads instructions, so we need all the tutorage we can get.
The Pulp and Peel is good with my synth, the tilt balance helps a lot with fine tuning what keyboard tracking and filter envelope does, the compressor helps with the amplitude envelope. Lets synth still have a lot of movement but in a limited lane so its not in the way of other instruments.
The Dip switches in the Tide water was the best trick I found useful. I Love that there's a Rat in my P-n-P The EQD Humming bird has a great pre-amp. I have it in a loop switcher, on an expression pedal switch. So the pre-amp stays on, but I can toggle between the tremolo on and off. The loop switch basically becomes my boost on/off. On that same board I do something similar with my trusty JB-2 where the loop switch is the on off, and I use the pedal to toggle between the Blues Driver, and the Angry Charlie.
OMG. The Switchback Fuzz Sweet Spot. I built a pedal to do the exact thing a few months ago. Mine also had a varible treble bleed and a tone pot. It was the first pedal I ever built.
What a vid, Josh ! Thanks ! I love to play dialing pedals for strange sounds, but that's an incredible bunch of 'em ! Will definitely try with (well the one and only JHS pedal I own is The Bonzai...but I could get a Pulp'n'Peel quite soon ;-)
Never met that guy, but it feels like he's an old friend :) I just play through the box only with neuraldsp stuff, but he made me buy the notaklön, what more do you need to know? :D My quote of the video: "Is it useless? ...Some may say!" Thanks for the content, Josh and team! love!
The best anti-boost is the colour box. If you have a colour box at the end of your chain, and drive everything hard going into it, you get some of the best tones ever!
The Emperor v2 has a "tape" (worn) emulation setting using the square wave mode, depth quite low, tempo slow & eq to taste. Great way to make your guitar sound more broken (ish) & oldschool.
This is not a secret setting, but a secret because guitar folks and double-bass folks don't mingle. But the colour box v2 is the best companion to a double bass. I'm sad for all of the recordings that have been done without it. Recommended with the "Nadine" mic from Ear Trumpet.
This isn't a "hidden" secret but I use my Crayon with bass all the time to get a Muse-like synthy tone. You can hit it so hard it basically becomes a sawtooth and sounds very similar to a bass synth like you might hear on "Time is Running Out". I run my Anasounds Bitoun fuzz into the Crayon for even more chaos and it does a really good "Hysteria". Also, I love the Pulp n Peel bit. I bought it for bass and hated it, but I just ran a guitar into a tube screamer into the Pulp and it sounds so good. Please more videos like this if you can!
Great video again people! The part with the fuzz had me screaming up and down because the only pedal build idea I ever had was having a fuzz with a extra knob for going down in a chosen volum to get to that sound. Maxed out fuzz, set volume and tap in and out! Call my gf to check out if I'm not shitting you :P
Fender Bass VI (powerchords) into diamond comp with vol all the way up into a superbolt with drive dimed. Boss GE7 to sculpt. Clean fender amp. THE CHUNKIEST CHUNKY CHUNK. I use this sound when needing that Blur bass tone from “Song 2”.
I had no idea the switchback was able to work without a pedal in the loop. Makes total sense, I just never thought about the practical applications that allowed for.
14:10 I'm glad Josh makes the point, but, really... "Why turn your vol knob slightly when you can drop +$160, eat up board space, and do it with your foot!"
Additional Mary Kay fuzz secret setting alert-turn guitar tone knob all the way down and play on 12th fret register. Bells bells bells especially with 2strings at a time
Dear Josh Thank you for all of your pedal wisdom. I think it is important to share ones wisdom, and spread joy in the world. That’s why I would like to share my own joy for these cool Danish rock bands with you. You’ve probably never heard of them. These bands have been some of the biggest here in Denmark, and for me personal. I sense that you’re also a big fan of grunge music - just like me. That’s why I thought you should give the following Danish bands a listen. My all-time favorite Danish rock band is the band Kashmir. If you are into funky, funny and sometimes a little cheeky rock - then listen to their first two albums. Otherwise, listen to their masterpiece “The Good Life” which is the Danish equivalent to Radiohead’s “OK Computer”. You can also give Dizzy Mizz Lizzy’s debut album a listen. It is probably the Danish answer to Nirvana’s Nevermind album. Impressive that all the guitar on this album is recorded on a Japanese Stratocaster through a pedalboard consisting of: a Boss Turbo Overdrive, a Boss DD-3 and a Crybaby. The amplifier used, was a Marshall JCM800 2203, and it is said that it previously was owned by Steve Lukather. A simpel guitar setup, but it sounds great and it was enough to get big i Japan. Cool fact: Dizzy Mizz Lizzy won the Danish Rock Championships in 1994 with their songs from that album. In the finals they defeated Kashmir. Kashmir's lead singer later said, that when he went home after the final, he still had Dizzy's riff from the song Silverflame in his head. The last band you should check out is the band, Kira and the Kindred Spirits. They are certainly not grunge. But they are a great rock band. Their second and third albums are my favorites. Enjoy and thanks for all your super inspiring videos. Ps. Please say thanks to Nick from me. Thanks to his review of the Jeff Tweedy book “How to write one song” I finally got myself together, and started writing my own songs. Life changing! Thanks! Best regards! Peter Romer Dansted Denmark
I've got an Akai Headrush delay that does a gnarly ring mod if you turn the speed right up - I always assumed any delay would make that noise if the repeats were fast enough, but maybe I found a secret! I like that free rotary the best I reckon, that's a fun one
I play mostly shoegaze and going from pretty and clean to fuzzy madness is key to my sound. The Switchback is crucial to my rig. Also I just hide it under the board. It’s the shit.
And yet Josh still has not disclosed that the 3 Series Oil Can Delay has a secret mode that adds a second tape head. Why must you torture us by not admitting it's there? I'm playfully raging because I have one and it'll never leave my possession. It's hands down my most favorite pedal. It's a crime it won't be added to the main 3 Series line up. It's such a cool pedal that does so many things.
The Kodiak trick will be VERY useful for my New Jersey Drone Jazz band, HackenStack.
New Jersey has Jazz now?
Good for them.
@@Jaspertine ALL the best jazz came from New Jersey. Look at what's been recorded at Van Gelder studio, Englewood Cliffs NJ.
The editing on this episode was so unhinged in the best way. Loved it!
Where’d you get your profile picture?
@ it’s a watercolor painting I did back when I myself was more unhinged.
PULP N PEEL Hahahha
using an amp sim pedal to demo the signature pedal of an amp builder is 10/10 troll.
love the content and love the pedals.

I've been doing similar. It made me wish there was another footswitch for the delay section.
*Hates things that are uneven.* *Has an entire series of pedals based around the number 3*
Dang, over 500,000 subs. Congrats JHS. Much deserved, love the channel!
Thanks for the support!

I will never stop buying pedals and you can’t make me. You’re not my supervisor!!!
It's been fair to say when you engage these extra settings, you're in the Danger Zone!
Hi, this is your bank manager here…
Josh is not our real dad!
Ok, so I supervise you to buy pedals. What now?
You’re not the boss of me!
YES, "go find some secret settings" - this was so much fun. I hope more players will take time to tweak their gear. It's perfectly fine to want to sound like someone whom you admire, but personally, I'm looking for that other place we can go in our heads and in our sound.

The dirt in the pulp n peel is actually very, very good and usable. Love it.
A few weeks ago I was about to replace my Special Cranker with a boost pedal, then had the galaxy brain idea of just turning down the drive knob. Instant free Clean boost!

3:19 you're right Josh, I should just play this week's gig with my Boss ME-50 multieffects straight to the mixer. It does everything!!
Completely underrated unit
I love this format. Please continue this!!
The Dip switches in the Tide water was the best trick I found useful. I Love that there's a Rat in my P-n-P

Josh, you will go down in history as one of the coolest guitar pedal dudes.
The singer high note scream at 11:50 was really funny. Great video.
As a math teacher and pedal enthusiast Josh is my favorite type of student. (Based on the 7.5 v 8.5 discussion)
Here for the Kilt! I just got mine after a month wait!
"Where your significant other won't wanna murder you" is unironically the most relatable bit in the video
Your 3 series Octave reverb into a fuzz with the verb down , and the switch in the low oct. Setting is nutz
I must try this.
OMG. The Switchback Fuzz Sweet Spot. I built a pedal to do the exact thing a few months ago. Mine also had a varible treble bleed and a tone pot. It was the first pedal I ever built.
Value added level up king of pedal companies. Even if you stop making pedals, keep making videos of what else your old pedals could do.🎉
You are funny folks and you bring joy to our world! Always the best!
Excellent video! I love your creativity with these pedals. I have the Pulp N Peel - outstanding pedal!
Pulp N Peel is awesome. I have wanted to buy one for a while now. Soon.
What a vid, Josh ! Thanks ! I love to play dialing pedals for strange sounds, but that's an incredible bunch of 'em !
Will definitely try with (well the one and only JHS pedal I own is The Bonzai...but I could get a Pulp'n'Peel quite soon ;-)
Pulp n Peel v4 has to be my favorite pedal of all time. I love GE FF otherwise but those all different
Never met that guy, but it feels like he's an old friend :) I just play through the box only with neuraldsp stuff, but he made me buy the notaklön, what more do you need to know? :D
My quote of the video: "Is it useless? ...Some may say!" Thanks for the content, Josh and team! love!
My favorite secret setting was Larry Bird.
The best anti-boost is the colour box. If you have a colour box at the end of your chain, and drive everything hard going into it, you get some of the best tones ever!

Recommended with the "Nadine" mic from Ear Trumpet.
This was a darn good episode!! Hope it becomes a series actually!?
The Lucky Cat Delay has one of the best faux chorus and vibrato sounds out of a delay ❤
What about the two head setting on the Oil Can Delay? It’s awesome!
5:14 Nick! You always kill me with the stingers!!
Larry Legend nods his approval!
Nice tips! You guys should make a box that lets you easily split the signal chain to 3 amps (2 reverbs L & R and center 'clean').
Had a vision of The Edge hiring a fleet of stretch limousines to collect his free pedal.
The master volume fuzz is sweet tech.
This isn't a "hidden" secret but I use my Crayon with bass all the time to get a Muse-like synthy tone. You can hit it so hard it basically becomes a sawtooth and sounds very similar to a bass synth like you might hear on "Time is Running Out". I run my Anasounds Bitoun fuzz into the Crayon for even more chaos and it does a really good "Hysteria".
Also, I love the Pulp n Peel bit. I bought it for bass and hated it, but I just ran a guitar into a tube screamer into the Pulp and it sounds so good. Please more videos like this if you can!
Ah man, thanks so much for the tidewater trick. Cant believe I didn't try that on my own.
Rewiring my pedalboard and changing strings, per usual, this is the perfect accompaniment content. I abuse the 3 Series Octave Reverb extensively.
Now I have a headache! (😁) Fortunately, there was your sense of humor 😂👌
Oh, btw, very cool stuff!
Happy New Year guys.
Isn't there a secret setting on the Oil Can delay? I have one, and I've heard something, but not sure what it was... Great video!
Great video again people! The part with the fuzz had me screaming up and down because the only pedal build idea I ever had was having a fuzz with a extra knob for going down in a chosen volum to get to that sound. Maxed out fuzz, set volume and tap in and out! Call my gf to check out if I'm not shitting you :P
Ok that fuzz face volume hack is pretty cool
I love my pulp an peel, makes any of my basses or guitars sound and feel amazing keep making great pedals 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Fender Bass VI (powerchords) into diamond comp with vol all the way up into a superbolt with drive dimed. Boss GE7 to sculpt. Clean fender amp. THE CHUNKIEST CHUNKY CHUNK.
I use this sound when needing that Blur bass tone from “Song 2”.
I need that Little Black Amp Box with my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe!!
To tone down the gain?
14:36 so, what about a fuzz pedal with a pre-gain knob that can be turned on or off?? you should make one
The clean boost pre-amp tremolo thing is cool. I use it with the Supro Tremolo. Actually is my always on pedal.
I had no idea the switchback was able to work without a pedal in the loop. Makes total sense, I just never thought about the practical applications that allowed for.
5:40 that reverse Mario 64 sound is great 😂
@11:00 I genuinely thought that was what it was for! what lame alternatives are people using this for?
Nice nerdy watch 😂🎉 i love the content of course 😊
Thank you 😁
14:10 I'm glad Josh makes the point, but, really... "Why turn your vol knob slightly when you can drop +$160, eat up board space, and do it with your foot!"
The irony as I await my jhs 3 series fuzz😊..can't stop the GAS baby
If the edge dosn’t claim his Mark-K, I will take it 🙃
Also, whoever is editing these videos, keep it up. Amzingly hilarious
Additional Mary Kay fuzz secret setting alert-turn guitar tone knob all the way down and play on 12th fret register. Bells bells bells especially with 2strings at a time
I’m here, you’ve baited me. Masterfully. You’re a master baiter.
Josh, for the love of all that is good and beautiful in this world…. Reissue the Kilt V1!!!
That tidewater boost sounds amazing. I already have a Kodiak (love it) and thought I didn’t need the tidewater. *sigh*
Especially love one of the noises in the first part of the second half
Once again, the3 PulpNPeel shows itself to pretty much be an entire pedalboard on its own. The ez EQ on it makes it my favorite rat.
This is awesome! You kilt it!
We don’t use toys 😂, says the guy in the toy store.
Love my PNP though! Red remote for the dirt would be nice.
That switchback and little black amp box trick is genius! Basically turns any drive pedal into a 2 in 1. Worried about your blood sugar though Josh.
Thanks for the cool "secret" settings! Peace
Now we know... and knowing is half the battle.
Do any of your pedals have a secret setting to give rhett good slide tone??
You have all great sounds I love Chrome, MX-80 sound fun soundtracks, you are Nice in Nice. A french punk industrial.
I wish I can get your great works sounding effects, I meam all.
I was waiting for the Oil Can Delay secret. I’ve been using that.

I like that free rotary the best I reckon, that's a fun one
I use my emperor V2 as a trem in a pinch by setting the waveform to square and blend up all the way, gets the job done!
What I learned from this video is that I should try being more of a maniac, more often. Noted!
This is a great reminder to Just Try Stuff ™️
You didn't mention the three series oil can delay dual delay secret setting
You could have also gotten that elusive ring modulater sound on heart shaped box with the Kodiak ring modulater sound
I play mostly shoegaze and going from pretty and clean to fuzzy madness is key to my sound. The Switchback is crucial to my rig. Also I just hide it under the board. It’s the shit.
No mention of the secret mode on the 3 series Oil Can Delay?
Looks like Josh started his day with an extra mug of green macha
And yet Josh still has not disclosed that the 3 Series Oil Can Delay has a secret mode that adds a second tape head. Why must you torture us by not admitting it's there? I'm playfully raging because I have one and it'll never leave my possession. It's hands down my most favorite pedal.

I love you Josh.
No mention of the double head oil can delay?
The secret setting in my Kilt is basically how I use it always LOL
Please make a version of the dirt from the pulp n peel
I’m sure it’s in the pac rat. He said it’s just a rat circuit and there are 9(?) rats in the pac rat.
3 Series Distortion
Wait the Pulp N Peel has a RAT?! Perfect for bass
I do love a ringmod, so feel free to still go an make one please!
"Let me show you something", at least all the pedals survived the fire marshall bill test!
What are the power supply cables used in all videos?
same question!
It was a solderless DIY kit that is no longer made, they're sacred to us!
@@jhspedals Copy that. Thank you!
Please make more pedals that can have an expression pedal input. Oh, and Pedal X too please.
Josh always shows up early when the meeting is at 11 o'Clock... 7:04
The lucky cat also sounds amazing without the delays. Mod 2 with mix maxed
