What is the JHS Tacobolt?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 бер 2024
- In 2012, JHS released the first version of the Superbolt, an amp-in-a-box pedal meant to give you the sounds of an old Supro amp. Mason Stoops had always loved that sound and picked one up immediately. Around 2015, Josh sent Mason a custom-printed Superbolt with a taco on it, but there was a surprise. We had set the trim pots incorrectly and created an interesting gated fuzz effect. We made a mistake, but Mason loved it! Now it’s time to say goodbye to the Superbolt, but in celebration of its life, we’re releasing a limited edition version tuned to the original “incorrect” specs of Mason’s TacoBolt. Tune into this episode of the JHS Show to hear the whole story of the TacoBolt!

I think what I'm getting from this video is that Josh wants us to be happy when we receive broken pedals.
😂
The last two JHS pedals I bought arrived broken, for real hahahaha. I wasn't that happy tbh hahaha
I'll have to pick one up on Reverb tomorrow for $1500 bucks.
"I didn't even know he was sick.."
take your norm reference back to comedy-youtube. we can't have it here on pedal-youtube.
Dig another hole, cause the dead pan is killing me.
man i miss Norm...
I didn't even know how the superbolt sounded like
It was a national tragedy.
I don't know what is more rock and roll than playing freebird out of a salsa can amp
Imagine a "He has the box" moment when a pedal is delivered in a pine casket.
But a somber, slowed down version, pitch modulated an octave down. That would have been amazing.
Then Josh could make a funeral sound pedal next week. You know just for the reverb scalpers.
🎵He has the casket🎵
All fun and games until 5 years from now, by popular demand, there's a NotaTacoBolt.
I'm as free as a bolt now...this taco will never change.
I'd love to hear the Solo to FreeBolt.
I'll have a Second Helping of that, sir! 😎
Josh makes 500 broken pedals and sells out in 84 minutes. Gotta love it.
Josh, for your next amazing feat, please make a pedal that only makes static and 60hz hum with tone and presence knobs. List it at $350 and be sure to label it "Limited Edition" as well. The flippers will go nuts for it.
It needs to be interactive and have a momentary button to go buzz-buzz-buzz like when you touch the tip of the guitar cord..
@@MadScientistGuitarLab I've got that set-up at the moment in a temporary house I'm in. I think I must have a ground loop over the Hellmouth.
@@MrScrofulous oh god, now you’ve given the effect a Name!!!! Josh! We need this now!!!
The Limited Edition Hellmouth!!!
And I have the TM on the triple exclamation point.
In the future if you can’t find a superbolt or they become expensive on the secondhand market, the pg-14 is essentially a modded circuit.
I was gonna say... The TacoBolt sounded like the "push" knob on the PG-14.
Also if you can’t find either, or just want another great supro style drive the bjfe/one control honey bee is brilliant. That’s what I use for a supro sound. Wouldn’t mind getting the supro amulet or black magik at some point or their 64 super which is similar to a fender champ.
Can you get the sound from the Bad Monkey?
The Supro Drive pedal sounds pretty good at doing Supro things.
google supreaux run off groove and you can build it
JHS releases a limited pedal.
South Park banker: “…and it’s gone.”
“…..what?”
“It’s gone. It’s all gone.”
People will never learn.
Only JHS could sell a fuzz pedal that's intentionally mis-biased, call it "limited edition," and then make stupid huge money from it. Just a fact.
$249 for an overdrive.. sold out immediately?
“I didn’t even know he was sick.” Really got me 😂😂😂
Rip norm
f
Wow. 84 min later, it's sold out. Loved the burial scene. Another JHS classic video.
I need to hawk the JHS channel more closely, I missed out on this and the Solo Boost a while back.
I could throw one together in.... maybe 45 mins? Simple circuit. To make it sputter, just use trims on the fets and adjust till it sputters, or whatever you prefer. Not selling one, just saying- it's fairly easy to build.
Mason is a man of taste
And he has amazing slide tone too
Much better slide tone than some youtubers...
This is great!!! It does sound broken, but here’s the thing: when I was still a very young rock lovin’ guitar playing wannabe, my sister taped AC/DC’s album ‘Let There Be Rock’ on a cassette for me to enjoy. Now, everyone knows the sound of AC/DC in those early days. But the way she recorded it was not what it could have been. She just put the album on her cheap record player with cheap little speakers, turned up the volume a little too loud, and then placed a portable cassette recorder with a tiny built in microphone in front of the speakers. And that’s the sound I got used to and even today, approximately 45 years later, this is still the sound I love and the sound I’ve been trying to emulate in all these years.
Needless to say I love this pedal! ❤
JHS shows seem to be as rare as their limited edition runs 😂
They’re about as” rare” as jelly babies!
so who's going to record the bias values for us to set a regular super bolt to taco bolt values?
I wondered the same thing. Mod a pedal made by a guy (who made it modding pedals) that made a mod of a pedal he made...
Just put a bad battery in it and measure the values. 😺
@@MadScientistGuitarLab Make sure you check your totem
@@sugarkitty4777 interesting thought. My pedal power supply has the option to turn down the voltage...
I'm gonna play my Superbolt V2 tonight as a tribute, for this was the first JHS pedal I bought, second hand. Previous owner colored the bolt red with a sharpie. Each time I see a superbolt, I feel like something is missing. Mine is unique and I will keep it and play it, for its value goes beyond money. Sincere condolences to Josh and the JHS family 🥀
🎶Let’s give ‘em something to Taco Bolt🎶
I managed to keep from crying until about halfway through the dirge. Once the old clips from about nine minutes prior played. I felt the grief swelling up from deep inside my heart and the dam that was holding back my emotions burst wide open when I was reminded of the Lactose People.
🙏 Thunderbolt.
Man I love this company! Openly killing off fantastic products while launching a limited release. Making double demand for their brand! Wow. I’m taking notes!
If this is an actual critique of JHS, then they are killing the pedal because they CANT GET THE PARTS anymore. Did you watch at all?
@@ValWillKay Did you read my comment? I’m taking notes man! Also it doesn’t matter why they did it, they’ve still created double demand for their products! They sold out of the taco in like an hour flat. They made $125,000 in a freaking hour! Also also, they CAN get the parts, parts don’t just disappear, this is all intentional. You should be taking notes to man.
@@benharris1906 how do you know they can get parts? Specific parts are often discontinued by the manufacturer so they can focus on making newer, in demand parts. This is not a stretch of the imagination. Also, if something is selling well, why discontinue it? JHS doesn't get any money from people reselling their products. Set aside your bias and use some logic.
Also, the extra demand due to obsolete parts. Technically, that is true. The J201 and 2N5457 transistors are obsolete because through-hole packages aren't popular. The surface mount versions of the identical parts are still made, and readily available. This video is marketing genius! False scarcity. Next up: will there be a TacoBolt-2 using surface mount technology?
“Before we fix this, just listen for a second. Is this kinda cool? Is this inspiring?” Is almost as great as “it doesn’t sound good” 😂 JHS keep doing what you do ❤
Lol Josh was not kidding about the scalpers
Comedic time is ON POINT with these two.
Also, really cool pedal!
I love how Nick's humor comes out in his directing and editing. He's really nailing it with these videos
This video is only two hours old and I went to JHS petals to buy the taco bolt before I finish the video. Already sold out
Total Office vibes at the end haha. Love it.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust ... but first, my clean tone.
Mason legitimately can act or has a charisma I just had to comment about.
When I saw Mason Stoops was in this demo, I dropped everything else. Love that guy's playing.
Juxtaposing Socrates with Poison is pure comedy gold.
Not really.
@@Yacini4 we can't all be patrician
And a nod to Bill and Ted.
Wyld Stallions!!
(You just did the air guitar thing, didn’t you?)
"They were not happy to see me."
I’m about to go dig up that Superbolt. 😂
I need so much more Mason content
*looks seriously at wife*
"There's something important we need to Tacobolt"
I know where that fence is!! I'll be there tonight digging it up!!
I didn’t know how much I needed to see Josh Van Der Linde. The editing is top notch.
Brilliant! I have a V1 Second Logo Hand Stamp that I love. Glad to have had the chance to pick this one up.
“Ralph said that?”😂😂😂 that was hilarious.
That was so funny.... I could listen to Josh and Mason talk all day!
I assume this is going to be shipped with a gravity pick and a packet of Taco Bell fire sauce.
Taco Bell smelling goop..lol
Let me jam next to your Fire?
I've had an upset tummy all afternoon, working on my own batch of taco bell goop as we speak
@@NeilPundick lolol 😅😆😁
“We had a funeral for a bird!” Made me remember the office … so much important information on this video, awesome!
I absolutely love the silliness. Please continue
I want that amazing grace/freebird cover played at my funeral
Is it just me or is this content getting better and better.

In. Love. With. This. Sound.
Emphasis incredibly needed on that. ❤
Banter always gets me. Pedal sounds great! Never stop.
Adding an adjustable bias knob would be a cool mod for a SuperBolt.
We do that mod!
@@ToneRangerAudiowhere’s your video of it!?
Okay that was one of the funniest episodes you’ve done!!! I’m in freaking tears… kinda want to buy a tacobolt! The funeral outro was great! 🤣🤣🤣
Oh man... i missed it! Sounds awesome y'all!
Shots fired at pedal flippers. It's all on the table.
10:49 that whole bit about George Orwell is seriously top-shelf comedy. :D
Alternate ending:
You hungry?
Yeh.
What do you wanna eat?
Tortilla.
He has the pine box
Yes.
Damn, they missed a great joke opportunity there.
Thank you for making pedals fun.
turning my vintage '61 magnatone 6w to 10 sounds AWESOME!! it's also still a manageable volume. and... my jhs unicorn rules
Lol the flipping on reverb is already insane, go get em josh
Nothing weird. Just friends having fun. Loool!
A very sick episode! ❤
Gumby Enthusiast Mason Stoops; I went to a seminar with Art Clokey at University of Buffalo. Gumby, Pokey and gang were always in a band and would have loved the tacobolt.
I love that youre playing a Nippon Gakki Red Label Yamaha at the end there.
That opening riff, with P-90s with that slightly “broken” sound had so strong Neil Young vibes!
Yeah with the reverb in the game footage, reminds me of Neil's Dead Man soundtrack
This and a Deco are my next must-haves
So glad I bought a Superbolt last year!!
Mason, after the Orwell quote: "George said that?"
After the Emerson quote (13:34): "Ralph said that?"
I'm still laughing as I write this comment. Great sounding pedal and you two are hilarious together.
Also after the Socrates quote I swear Mason turned his head and was thinking "Socrates said that?" that would've killed me dead
If I had any money I would’ve thrown it all at this thing it sounds PERFECT
Eating dripping wet tacos on the same side of a booth is true friendship.
Fer sure.
Baby Josh! Ha!Ha!. We had two guitar players in our band named Josh. One, who was older, was Metal Josh. The younger one was Baby Josh!
And the rest are Kami, right?
Wonder who else gets this.
Sniff! I got a little misty there, now let's go get some tacos!😊
closed captioning translated the words: "we are selling 500 of the mesa soups taco bowl" 🤣Great funeral BTW
I dont know about no Tacobolt, but that les paul is just about the coolest thing ive ever seen
Loving the jhs show, can't wait for my notaklon!
Yep, worth the wait for me !
Very cool, always a treat to get a vid from you guys and what's the story with Mason's guitar? It looks kind of like every Les Paul at once in a really cool way.
If Josh had glasses and despised zippers, he would be Mason Stoops.
Sitting that close in the booth...awkward 😮 This was fun!
Ferris Bueler is so chill these days. Thanks for sharing your tacos bruh.
Mason's got some fantastic acting chops. He fits into the group like one of them round pegs.
I'm going to do my best to buy this limited edition one. Full stop. I absolutely loved the remote Super version at a store and when I found out the PG was built on this + the Haunting mids I finally found one and it's great. I still want an actual Superbolt though. Mason hit's the nail on the head - I often want "fuzz"... but often actual "fuzz" pedals aren't what I'm going for. They're hard to control and, often, aren't really ideal for versatility. Ideally I am going after the "fuzz" of a small tube amp with a ripped speaker. Not "velcro"... but think early Page and Clapton overdriving small Champ amps in the studio. While I absolutely hate this pedal won't still be in production I'd love to see if I could get a few before the cost goes ridiculous. This pedal rocks that much I hope you guys bring it back one day.
Just buy a 5 watt tube combo.
@@vorpalblades For what I do it's nice to have access to "that" sound... though not permanately. Though I get it - I loved Julian Lage's "Champ Era".
I fell asleep on the floor, woke up with my back hurting and the taco gone, forever!!!
Now I want that can-amp sound!!
please make another batch of these PLEASE
The Superest of Bolts to You and Yours
I’m always excited for Josh to TacoBolt a new pedal
😱😱😱
Bruh I remember watching Mason jam with eqd Jamie and Juan on Pedals and Effects like 10 years ago. I didn't know he was a bigshot session dude
I miss these short videos!
What a time we are livin in without this pedal.
Loved this tone so when I saw that it was sold out I figured out how to get really close by putting my Walrus 385 MKII in the + position and turning the gain all the way down. It’s cool to take inspiration from moments like this, and if you can get the pedal from JHS then great, but if not please just use your ears and find another way rather than encouraging scalpers. 385 MKII is not a cheap pedal but it is in regular production so you should never have to pay more than taco bolts original price of $250. I also got close with my EQD Special Cranker ($100 new!) in the germanium mode.
Possibly the best video you have ever done 😂
So you’re telling me this guy made some of the music in read dead and he used a JHS pedal to do it too? lol
Trouble is, Mason can make anything sound great
You guys are getting dorkier and I love it.
On my way over to come dig it up!
Best comment
Josh rocking the Yamaha Fg...love it..
Please consider a non signature regular line up version that everyone who missed out can get! Thank you :)
The parts are no longer being made, hence the discontinuation
Josh, guys, I missed it; the pedal is sold out already! I'm dejected and sad-and this video made me realize I hadn't rung the little UA-cam bell. I'm ashamed. But guys, the world *needs* more of this pedal! *I* need more of this pedal. I'll voluntarily help you source materials and build more and still pay for the honor of owning one. I'm desperate; please don't let the Taco Bolt die so soon!
Thank you so much for your work! I litterally wetted my pant while laughing.... Keep on rockin'
You do realize that by doing a burial, you signed up to at least 50 lunatics digging it up 3 years from now from your place, slapping terms like "grave mojo" on it and then trying to sell it off for Klon prices yeah? (And yes, this will happen even when the burial is fake and the pedal isn't actually there). Love your videos!
Where have they been? I feel like JHS lost interest in UA-cam after Addison left. We have needed your knowledge, joy, tunes and humor.
That sounds amazing 👏
F-n' EPIC episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!
