- Today we're doing a deep dive into a very interesting series from a very interesting company: Guyatone Box Series. Made to compete with Boss's new compact series, Guyatone released smaller effects in... uhh... boxes! These are pretty awesome, vintage, and cool. All great things. In the comments let me know what your favorite song on Pink Floyd's The Wall is, and your favorite album or song from 1979.

“He has the box” always makes me smile.
Reverb currently has a Phase Sonix with the Box ;)
Greg B “they have the box”
How does one keep all the boxes? I need an attic.
John Cougar it requires an extremely understanding wife.
@@samecoff2788 I tell my wife there are spiders in the attic. I feel bad now.
Josh is an absolute master of playing songs just wrong enough not to get a copyright claim.
Josh wrote all those songs , it was everyone else who changed them
@@profile1251 lmao you win the internet today
I too sometimes feel like I don't have partner...the city I live in, the city she loves me.
Hahahahahah
Lol yeah rite , that's a skill all bye itself 😅
if i ever get around to starting a pedal company i'll make sure one pedal in every production run randomly has a totally different font so that future collectors can have fun discovering the "ultra rare bold italics version" that "has a sound, man"
famitory best comment on here 😂😂
Josh during the DOD Lamb Series vid tho 😂😂
Oooh you're CRUEL maaan! \m/
you've gotta use a totally different PCB layout for the same schematic, just to REALLY screw with people.
Times New Romans version has different diodes and the Comic Sans version just bursts into flames 😂
Josh playing “Go Go Power Rangers” on a glitchy as all heck octave pedal is everything I needed from a JHS Show episode
came here to say this.
😂 yeah that took me back to the days of my youth.
Thank you for not letting me down with the "he has the box" animation, I saw the box and bit my lip and started yelling "HE HAS THE BOX HE HAS THE BOX" and lo-and-behold...
where does the he has the box thing originate from?
Ákos Tolvaj the legendary flangers vid
Seeing Josh stuck in the 90's makes me feel less bad about being stuck in the 80s. BTW Guyatone micro series is pretty good, minimalist with a focus on tone. Haven't found a tubescreamer to kick the OD2 off my board at any price.
He has the box😀
I've saved all the boxes for every single one of my pedals, the folded A4 instruction sheets, and any packing materials, even the huge one my Line 6 M13 and its two expression pedals so that a future Josh will have a good day

Live At Pompeii is their true masterpiece
I wrote a song called "I'm Full of Useless Information". Seriously.
I really would buy that shirt
@@zwidawurzn9423 "He has the box" on the back!
"Animals"/"Wish You Were Here" tied for 1st.
"the Dark Side of the Moon" coming in 2nd.
"the Piper at the Gates of Dawn" 3rd.
Actually the Wall is my favorite Floyd record... i feel like everyone has a different favorite when it comes to Pink Floyd.
"clean octave"
proceeds to make a pure saw wave
That, kind sir, sounded more like a fat square wave =)
But yeah, hilarious nonetheless.
That glitchy noise machine was better than my MXR blue box, which I sold.
@@dr.getter7118 I thought it was a saw tooth wave as well! HARDLY 'clean' LOL! The BOSS octaver was totally clean!
@@DMSProduktions I don't know dude.. I don't have an oscilloscope with me nor even a spectrometer. But to my ears, that "hollow" sound is reminiscent of a square wave/triangle wave (maybe something in between the two?). A sawtooth wave here would sound a lot harsher and "clickier".
Just my 2 cents
@@dr.getter7118 Yeah maybe!
The Dual Octave sounds like Nintendo in a pedal.
Yeah I was thinking bit crusher when I heard it. Probably the best of this bunch!
Or the Growler
I heard Go Go Power Rangers
I heard circuit bending
sounds like it's already gone poo-poo
Josh is simultaneously the most cool, chill yet OCD guy on UA-cam. Always worth the watch!
Red Faust try having him as an employer 😊
@@jamiesmithmusic6606 Oh my god! Do you really work for JHS? If you do, I salute you!
"METICULOUSLY OBSESSING OVER SMALL DETAILS NO ONE SHOULD CARE ABOUT"
Me:...
...You are my people.
please make this a shirt!!!!
That IS a great-sounding phaser, tho...
Same.
So when can I order my The JHS Show "Meticulously Obsessing Over Small Details No One Should Care About" T-shirt?! :p
That Octave thing must be the grandfather of Miku
Is the Sovtek episode going to be a Netflix docuseries? I bet it'll give Tiger King a real run for its money.
The "he has the box" bit kills me every single time. Genuis
This entire show is for Josh to share his excitement/knowledge/passion for his pedal collection and we are forever grateful. Thank you sir!
"Nobody Home" is my favorite track on The Wall.
I saw it when it came out, and the same weekend my radio station played the whole album on the album review *and* did a special where they interviewed Bob Geldof about it.
I went back and saw it at the midnight movies about eight times, until I saw the pictures when I heard the songs on the radio.
I stopped seeing it when I noticed that it left me depressed, for days, every time.
great choice !! i penned those words out with a quill pen , browned the paper on a lamp bulb and framed it . my brother used to do coke off it .
OMG YES!! This is so 'heavy' (man), I had to stop watching it...for about twenty years! Really depressing, if you get really into it, and, conversely, enjoy the music?!
Literally watching Josh’s spiral into absolutely madness. It’s almost like watching that show intervention, like, the part before the intervention 🤣😅
1979 album: Damn the Torpedoes - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Awesome video. Not gonna lie...was disappointed that I didn't hear, 🎵"HE'S GOT THE FOAM!"🎵
RECORD TIME - favorite record from 1979: Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
very good year. clash london calling, ac/dc highway to hell,
Regatta de Blanc had to have been one of my top albums in 79. I still love it!
Are there any BAD pedals? Should do an episode on that.
Agree! but it would be attacking other companies wouldnt it?
You didn't pay attention. There is for example a "horrible octave circuit [...] it's so bad, that it's awesome".
There are only awesome pedals. Because pedals are awesome.
In my experience no. I tried a cheap no-name chinese distortion pedal on a solid state amp sound really bad. But when I tried it on a Fender tube amp sounds great. So its all depends on a random combination of factors of amp+pedals+guitar+fingers. As they often say any talented guitar player can sound great on crappy gear.
Behringer often gets a bad rap but I've found their clones are almost as good as the pedals they're copying.
Same with Dan Electro pedals
1979 Neil Young “Rust Never Sleeps” and grunge was born.
Grunge was born 9 years earlier! LISTEN to The Zoot's version of Elenor Rigby from 1970!
My favourite album of 1979 is Sheik Yerbouti. And yes The Wall is a masterpiece I think this album is a masterpiece too...
Thoughts on trout mask replica?
you have pretty good taste !
Zappa 🤟🤟🤟
@@joshcarlton9184 An album not for everyone ;)
The audio version of Dada!
"Rat Tomango" FTW
So I started watching the JHS videos about a year ago and by now, most I know about pedals, I learned here. Switched from a line6 board to all stompboxes since and I'm super happy although my wallet hates josh. Pretty much the first pedal I bought last year actually was a guyatone chorus, but the mc3 micro thingy, guess that's from a later series. Found it in a pawn shop in athens on vacation, then I found another pedalshop there and so in the end I went home broke but very happy. The guyatone remains on the board and I love it and I've been waiting on a guyatone episode. Normally I never comment on YT videos, but since I'm convinced I have always been in quarantine by now, why not. Love the content, cheers! Also sorry for rambling
Thank you Josh, beautiful pedals! And you have such unique playing style, my hat's off!
There were so many great albums from 1979!
Machine Gun Etiquette - The Damned
Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division
The Specials - The Specials
Cheap Trick at Budokan - Cheap Trick
Look Sharp & I’m the Man - Joe Jackson
Cool fo Cats - Squeeze
Three Imaginary Boys - The Cure
The B52’s - The B52’s
Drums & Wires - XTC
One Step Beyond - Madness
Joe’s Garage - Zappa
London Calling - The Clash
I CAN’T CHOOSE JUST ONE!!!
one of the best episodes so far! I love josh's excitement over this stuff!
Fun video man. Watching you have full on geek-out moments is truly awesomeness and entertaining....feels good in times like these. Thanks!! ✌🏻
Such an amazing and fun episode. I'm in love with this delay. Thanks Nick & Josh! Support these guys on Patreon!
Tom Petty's Damn The Torpedoes from 79!!!
There are so many awesome tracks on The Wall, “Is There Anybody Out There?” Is no exception. The synthesizer tone comes from “Echoes” and the acoustic guitar is nothing short of beautiful. It doesn’t get a lot of attention but I really think it ought to
Agree a million times over!
That serie deserves that video, thanks !
I've been waiting for this and it comes out on my birthday haha
Whenever I see good editing on UA-cam I gotta point it out and this was very funny editing! Massive shoutout to whoever edited this video!😂😂
i have to say , you ve heard this before . . you are a awesome human being , thank you for what you do , in times when people are selfish AND HOARD and point fingers (wrongly ) like douchbags , you , as a person renew my faith in folk .you have a pedal company but you spend 99 % of YOUR time waxing eloquently the virtues of everybody else who has a bench and a bent to make us sound better . . the world needs more people like you . . . thank you so much . .
Josh is amazing, great content, not just pedals, is sound, music and history. Can’t miss my daily video
I can't say it's my fave from '79 as I find it hard to choose, but "Three Imaginary Boys" which is the Cure's debut record is a classic to me. I'm surprised it gets kinda overlooked in favour of their later material. However, there's some genuinely brilliant teen angst driven tunes on there. Especially stuff like "Fire in Cairo" and, 10:15 Saturday Night" . Really makes me yearn for a biopic film based on it.
This is my favorite Cure album! Pornography is a close second
Rust Never Sleeps was a really good 1979 album.
These pedals all seem ahead of their time. Enjoyed learning about these!
First: we must have a “he has the foam” jingle. I was very disappointed.
Second: MAN, them autowah riffs 🔥👌🏻😂
Today I got my crayon + twin twelve v2. I’m so excited!!! So many new music ideas wow! Mr jhs I love you! Greetings from Greece!
I love that octave! The flanger sounded very smooth. Omg that phase was stunning! I guess i really like all of them.
Firstly this is my favorite shirt that you have put on your body. Garments. Secondly guyatone have a special place in my heart. I was homeless, penniless,painfully depressed and my drummer came down with FMS😳 Dark times. Scounged up 7$ for a pack of strings went to my local hoke in the wall music shop. And through the Arias and epiphones I found a hidden gem...a guyatone st2 compressor/sustainer for $43.95 and I needed it😬 I traded an ibanez soundtank distortion and like 20$. Changed my life forever.
The best episode yet. I love this show!!!!
When he first boosts the mids using the EQ at 11:49, that is such a perfect NWOBHM sound. Absolutely love it.
Record Time - Hey You is my favourite track off The Wall and Sheik Yerbouti is my favourite album from that year - now; back then it was The wall.
Loved the episode and He's Has the Box is brilliant, really enjoying the sub titles and the meticulous over obsessing.
When you imagined the noise gates sound, I laughed hard enough to worry my co workers.
I don't have any co-workers, but they were all worried.
Really enjoyed this episode!
I've been waiting for this one! My first pedal was a zoom box distortion which I got for free with a second hand guitar. I loved it, has great tone, a real gem.
That clean noise gate sounded amazing, gotta get one of those
Josh!!! Josh!!! You can’t leave me with “Have a wonderful...”. I don’t know what you mean... day? Week? Night? Weekend?
Love your work, pedals, and videos. Keep up the great work.
wow crazy tone off Rolly pedal its nice josh thanks 4 this episode
Quick correction: MXR had already long before gone with a small footprint by the time Boss changed over. Love these JHS shows- great stuff!
Awesome I have been helping my old man (who is a retired luthier) clean out his workshop and just found a full set of these still in their boxes. Just jumped on UA-cam to search them and found this video
In 1979 The Greg Kihn Band released In The Naked Eye, which may or may not have been the best record, but it marks the time that I discovered that a lot of lesser-known bands didn't have roadies.
Growing up, the local heroes were Earthquake, and Yesterday And Today. Hollywood pirated one of Robbie Dunbar's tunes and that got them a few bucks to start Bezerkley Records. Checking out their roster I saw that several of my favorite bands were playing around and started going to live shows,which featured opening acts. (Funny how much The Squares were doing exactly what Joe Satriani does today, but could hardly get bookings.) Then I found out that many people, and guitarists in particular, were often willing to let some healthy young volunteer move their big tube combos and such and that I could avoid getting asked for ID, or even get an occasional free beer out of going in with the band.
Not a lot of local rock scenes where I am now, I don't think a guy could make much of a living at it.
The Rubinoos put a new album out recently and Chuck Prophet has one out this month, so all is not lost. 🎸
Oh man, that “clean” octaver has a really gnarly bitcrushy sound that’s awesome
The "Obsessing over things no one cares about" along with the rest of the editing was a change for the channel and I love it. Keep it High and Tight!
I remember these when I first started playing in the 80’s. I also remember buying “The Wall” for my older sister’s birthday, I think I bought a Zeppelin album for her as well on that birthday? I was 10 in ‘79 and the youngest of four, so music was the glue that kept us close and together. Nice throwback!
Been watching a lot of your videos Josh and I have to say they are a joy and full of great info!
But I would like to see more bass specific products from JHS cause I would love to support your company!
I love this channel... That's it. I love everything about it! 😊
I'm a simple man. I see a new JHS video, I click
When I was 11 or 12, in 1991or 2, I had been listening to the requisite Pop of the day all throughout elementary school. My three tapes at that point were (in order) Michael Jackson-Thriller, Belinda Carlisle-Heaven Is A Place On Earth, and Paula Abdul-Forever Your Girl. (In hindsight I also had the "Cocktail" soundtrack) Then I found a basket of old cassettes dubbed from record that my Dad's buddy who had a great record collection made for him as payment for a poker debt. The first one I pulled out said only "The Wall." I popped it in (miraculously on side one), listened to the needle crackle for a few long seconds before the first chord hit, and INSTANTLY became a teenager. The solo in "Mother" is the sole reason I begged for an electric guitar that Christmas. I still haven't learned it.
Great video Josh!!
Truly obsessed with this album possibly the only reason I watch this and many other pedal and guitar related channels , trying to chase that tone of Gilmour
“WHAAAAT??!!” A great episode; those pedals have a life and tone of their own... the flanger was particularly sweet and luscious! 1979’s albums? Umm... Joe’s Garage by Zappa is a choice cut, but The Wall is the bomb! The obvious biggies aside, Goodbye Blue Sky, Don’t Leave Me Now and Nobody Home are emotive and powerful tracks.
I own the PS-109 since I purchased it sometime between 1977 -1981 or was it 1983 -1989, hum that was while stationed in Japan. Still works great and still one of my favorite Pedals. Thanks for presenting this series of Pedals. The major choices were the Ibanez, Elk, Maxon and Guyatone series.
Love the new editing
Alright. Credit where credit is due. The editing in this episode is amazing, you and nick has seriously stepped up your game. You guys are amazing and have made my Quarantine much more enjoyable than any other thing could
Favourite album from 1979 is Lodger by David Bowie. It's so different and takes a few listens to get into but probably his most underrated album.
I know you may joke about meticulously obsessing over small details but honestly that's what I come to this channel for. It's always awesome to see someone so passionate about something they dive into the smallest little details, honestly that's what life is about, and people who do things like that are the people I can listen, and talk to for hours on end. Someone else being passionate about something and sharing that passion can make even the most boring things, interesting, and that is one of the things I live for.
(Btw pedals aren't boring, they're spectacular)
amazing as always.
Funniest episode I've seen! Makes me want to buy more of your products! Keep it up.
Talking Heads - Fear of Music. Still my favorite Talking Heads album.
Thanks for the video, I lol'ed multiple times during it. Definitely made the day a little brighter. Keep up the good work! For a song from 1979, lets go with Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black).
That's it ! We are moving to Japan to live and work there ,and continue the search for that older series !
This episode was hilarious, thank you
Finally pedals. Your back ! And yes we want to see the inside too.
Josh, I'm really digging the Kona shirt. I have an early 90's (1996) Kona MuniMula (Aluminum frame) that I have grafted a Girven springer front fork to run by a Shimano gearset. It's a fine ride that still draws attention. Now as for 1979 that was a good music year, Supertramp's Breakfast in America came out in 79 along with Pink Floyd's The Wall, and Michael Jackson's Off the Wall but I was kind of a punky kid in 79 (I was 13) so The Clash's London Calling and Joy Divisions Unknown Pleasures was circling my turntable back then. Hope you and yours are keeping healthy and safe, thanks for the videos!!!
Thank you for this episode. "The Wall" is indeed a fantastic record, also when it comes to guitar tones. My favorite song happens to be the guitarless "Nobody Home". My favorite 1979 song would be "Message in a Bottle" by The Police.
That entire segment from 11:25 to 13:55 absolutely made my day.
Debut album from B52s came out in 1979, The crazy quirky guitar by Ricky Wilson (RIP) blew the minds of many musicians. That riff from Rock lobster wont get out of my head.
So geeked out about the shoutout to my local luthier & Guyatone builder, DeMont Guitars in Oswego, IL!
welcome to flavour town with Guyfieritone™️
The Wall is my favorite album ever. Ever.
The current USA office is in my hometown. Nate is an awesome dude! Awesome video as well!
bit with the phaser made my day... lol!
“The Wall” is a desert island record for me and has been since my adolescence. Given that it is such a cinematic experience, I’m patiently waiting for a 5.1 version to come out (and I know the movie version is, I’m referring to the studio record). I thought that maybe a 40th anniversary BluRay or SACD would come out with a killer surround mix, but no luck. “Dark Side of the Moon” is one of the best 5.1 mixes out there, so I can’t wait to hear “The Wall” that way.
I love the minimalist deconstruction of "Girl From Ipanema" during the phase conundrum section...
love your show, greetings from malta....
I own an 80's DOD FX65 Stereo Chorus, boxed , with wiring diagram AND FOAM ! Last saw the sticker on my bedroom door at my Dad's old house in 1990 😁
Great pedal! I own one as well :)
@@kosmicwizard I loved the sound of it when it worked. It's seen hardly any use and still looks brand new, but one day about 20 years ago, it stopped working properly & I have yet to find anyone locally that can fix it ; they tried, apparently ! It literally does the max setting warble all the time lol
@@shaunw9270 :O
I love this show. Literally the only show I watch religiously on JoshTube. I call it JoshTube because JHS is all I use it for. I love this show.
You finally have one album in your collection that I have too.
Regarding the 2 identical model numbered Guyatone phase shifter...what you have with the newer set of the Guyatone pedals is a completed collection of the 1979 series. What you have with the older script lettered pedal is one of an entirely older series of which Guyatone made a limited number...more than prototypes, less than full production runs...more like a run of samples/demos to test the waters. I was in my teens in the mid ‘70’s hanging out at the local music shops. I wanted to learn to play guitar and needed to see what I wanted in order to save money because my parents thought it was a waste of money. I remember both of those pedals being in the pedal case at one shop and what I related is the account I recall when I asked about the pedals and the differences.
a stomp box historian, love these videos
“Entertainment!” by Gang of Four, hands down favorite album of 79’!
I love this video. You are so funny josh. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.
yeah! I got the zoom distortion. amazing but I had to change the stomp as the led was just activated when in tension, the opamp died so I put a socket to play with different ones and despite the same circuit, it sounds different from the MXR D+. warmer, more powerful and smoother distortion grain. I love it.
Wow, I was expecting for the octave to sound bad but not that bad......but does that mean it's awesome, maybe.
Chris Hepburn I have heard some of the new crazy sounding effects do a worse job at making that bonkers sound.
I don't own a Guyatone pedal but do own a Guyatone guitar. I have my father's LG 40 'Top 40 Twin". I suppose it would be akin to a Squier Affinity style of guitar - a production model, made fast and sent around the world. He bought it in 1959 and it came with a little tube amp (which still works); has two massive stinking hot pickups which still sound great; and a neck like a baseball bat with no truss rod. It looks and plays great, i'm glad he gave it to me before he departed.
Favourite track on the wall is Vera, favourite track from 1979 is 2000 man by KISS. I hope you have a wonderful long weekend as well, Josh!
