    Hey Josh, could you guys do a video on noise? The types of noise that electric guitar players encounter, guitar noise, amp noise, cable noise etc And what can be done to mitigate it and/or if we should even worry about it? Also could be interesting to talk about what pedal reviewers do to eliminate noise in recordings vs what pedals really might sound like and so on. It seems like a really important issue that all of us encounter to some degree and I'd love to hear your thoughts!

      I can't recommend the BOSS NS-2 enough for me,as I used to just use a BOSS GE-7 as an overdrive,for my baby when it was a massively awed beauty, especially with the poor biasing of both the preamp 12ax7,and power stage EL34 tubes,rated as a 100watt amp iT certainly was only putting out about 60 watts,which was perfect the 50w 2204 sounds great for recording,but again is only 30 or so watts depending,plus it 100% Does NOT have the Bassier than some only 1 or 2 Bass Players I played with,the 100w 2203 has tons more Low End.
      I had NO hassles with HISS(using this particular Marshall 2203 Master Volume JCM800 bought new in 1984) as to get a crazily close approximation of Edward Van Halen's coveted *Brown Sound*.
      I had the Amp Treble at 0,completely Off,The Middle control nearly FULL UP : the secret with THIS and only THIS passively tone controlled actual amp,exact same models with everything else the same could be wildly different then.
      Its Very likely these settings would NOT be good,they might,but every Marshall up to the intro of the JCM900 were,and could be markedly different sounding,exact same models,side by side : totally different - I thought this was cool,as some like mine just sounded wildly better-even if it kept blowing H.T. fuses with the original Sovtek valves (only for a short time) we call them,but most of you are US acclimated,so I mean Tubes,but NOT since 1990,all pretty much are very guaranteed similar tone for THAT model.
      So the old buggas,old handmade Marshall Amps there are 4 (or 5 if you count the very rare Master Volume Combo mid to late 1970's Only) which still has the exact, yet updated,but the same schematic,same designated components of the old 4 input SPL 1959 Superleads,Superbass,and even the Marshall P.A. head-IMPORTANT Only all these very early(not super early,real Plexi's and JTM45's,PARK amps no,though the PARK amps are a mystery,as far as ever using one.
      It IS the 1st 100w 3 amplifier models, exactly the same Transformers,Tubes as any model no. 2203 all eras as far as I know, it IS only these total 4 (5🤔?)Amps in total,any other model, absolutely ANY other Marshall Amplifier product has wildly differing components-sure the 50w 2204 head is similar,but ONLY x2 Power Tubes be they EL34(Australia always got these when new) or 6L6 and very similar,very,but I'm ONLY talking of *The x4 EL34/6L6 100w models*Not newer than 1990 ala the DSL,or back to The ancient 200w MAJOR no,same with ANY others.
      There is one exception. The quite RARE 100w Master Volume x2 12" Combos with RED printing on The Gold Chassis iS THE SAME,just turned upside down,and housed in a 2x12" Combo Chassis-Love to have one of those,No Not the actual Brown Tolex Combos no Thanks.
      So to continue(so sorry my posts are too long,and branch off onto quite relative to me but often NOT to OTHERS) translating deciphering: Again The Control Settings:Bass from 5 to 8,Presence:5 or-depending,as it controls around 4k to 10Khz,so that was usurped as my treble control,these settings ONLY worked with THAT amp,x1 BOSS GE-7 and 4x12 25w old 1970's Celestion greenback speakers(sometimes the most important link in a chain) it is with Peavey's Great but overly complex (I'm old I don't want active controls that actively ADD treble etc) JSX amp-a 3 channel 100w American type of EL34 Marshall,bought as my *baby* my poor Marshall had been ruined,but repairable eventually,but sadly my Amp Dr destroyed its tone,it's too stupid loud,has half,less than half the gain(with MESA High Gain 12ax7's),which would be great normally-whatever that means 🤔 as it always had RETAINED it's tone 100% through former re-tubing,and travelling to All cities of Australia except Darwin.
      *THE POINT OF THIS POST NOISE SUPPRESSION*
      The US made tough JSX needs English Speakers to sound correct,so as a band-aid approach with the old Marshall for a recording,not happy I had to use another clean guitar signal amplifier (what the GE-7 EQ accomplished incredibly well,with an absolute maximum of 15db extra signal to push the Marshalls dreamy preamp into wicked sustain,to(once the treble Pickup volume was at full-totally wild overtones of overtones of feedback),which if it blew my mind well. 🤔 So now with this sadly very too loud,way too clean amp,I was forced-to try to retain the amps natural sound of yore,I somewhat successfully used ALSO a Behringer EQ pedal in tandem.
      I used to only need 10Db to push the preamp into sustain,it now needed a ridiculous 30Db,so buckets of Hiss,and this all happened from 2007,so the BOSS NS-2 worked very well,not cheap,the 2nd EQ was(all their guitar pedals work fine),but they are made entirely of PLASTIC,but again it worked as desired,but the NS-2 was paramount to lose absurd amount of noise,as with that brands designations, it's Noise Suppressor No.2 and more than likely has much newer(not always better),as is SO OFTEN the case with computer operating systems,so called apps - software upgrades.
      *warning* "I Have A Theory" : 8 hour shifts everyday fiddling and trying hard to improve stuff sometimes has THE OPPOSITE EFFECT?🤔
      Anyway the ubiquitous Roland BOSS NS-2 has the BONUS of *it's own send and return*,so a myriad of routing possibilities.

    • @springbloom5940
      @springbloom5940 Рік тому +6

      My first OD build was like that. It sounded like only part of the spectrum was distorting and the rest was coming through clean. So, it was thick and bassy with a resonant top end ring.
      I probably still have it on a breadboard somewhere.

    • @damekraft
      @damekraft Рік тому +3

      yeah I have one too, that's exactly it. Depending on how you play the distortion can ride underneath the clean tone and then you can just hit the strings harder and the distortion can get quieter or louder depending on how it's set. Wild shit, one of my secret weapons for a long time until today hahahaha.

      Had a Lumberjack a few years ago, cost £35 New in UK, it worked well for my tone and was unique and sounded great stacked with other pedals, I really enjoyed using it until my pedalboard was stolen just over a year ago! I’ve been on the look out for another one since at a good price, until today I managed to buy another New one for £35 UK again, which is surprising as someone has a used one for sale in the US on Reverb for $200!!!! Cheeky bast**d!!! and as someone else said straight after the show someone listed one for $1000 cos it had been on the JHS Show. Glad I’ve managed to replace my stolen one again for £35
      So many players have hated on the Lumberjack saying it’s the worst sounding drive pedal they’ve ever heard! Which is bollocks!! It’s because they expect to plug straight in and it to immediately sound brilliant, you should always work with any piece of musical gear to develop & create decent sounding tones that are personal and help you achieve your own individual guitar sound rather than wanting to sound exactly like your favourite past players which is just boring and not how I role when songwriting and playing my band. The synthesis of sound for me is a creative and fun process and what it’s all about editing any bit of gear so that you actually understand how sound works and what parameters when edited will effect the sound in different ways, understanding the gear you are using is really rewarding when producing music and will give you an overall better knowledge of how sound if you’re willing to actually put the time in to learn how things work and not just wanting to plug straight in and sounding like Hendrix, Page, SRV or John Mayer which has all been done and heard before, nice to have a bit of originality in my world.

      There’s definitely some DSP under the hood, unlike the other ehx pedals in the nano series it doesn’t take a 9v battery. It think it was more about the logarithmic curve that the overdrive is based on, so if it’s not getting enough voltage I could see it doing some random funky stuff. The tc electronic dimension pedal does something similar, when the battery starts to die the chorus signal starts to randomly detune

    It’s wild that after re visiting your channel and watch more frequently again a couple years ago, I literally looked to see if you covered the Arion Tubulator (or others in the line) Because its such a great deal and has great tone options with some tweaking. Our band ended up having 2 on a record. I found out about them over 10 years ago and it’s a default recommendation when people can find them for what they used to go for next to nothing,

    I got a deal on a used EHX lumberjack a while ago. The trick with that pedal I thought was stacking it as a post gain boost and finding the sweet spot in the blend between the clean and dirty signal, but at the end of the day it really wasn’t for me. Now I’m sad I sold it when I did because I am going to miss out on the JHS price bump effect 😂

      The Tone city Nobleman is pretty solid too, it’s only like $50. Very similar vibe to the Nobels ODR-1. All metal housing but it doesn’t have the reputation for becoming microphonic like some of the ODR minis have.

    Great vid thanks JHS! My sleeper recommendation is the Tech 21 Boost Overdrive. You get a 2 in 1 all analog pedal and the clean boost has 21db of gain! The Sparkle knob really sets it apart from most overdrives. Excellent build quality and the pedal box is metal instead of the standard cardboard. $149 new I see it come up on Reverb for under $100 fairly often. Cheers!

Totally works for me and my guitar sound and style, it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but definitely one of my favourite and best pedals I’ve bought and it only cost me £40 New in the UK, probably because it’s not very popular. Love the Log factor it creates.

    I've had the EHX Hot Tubes Nano on my board for the last 5 years or so and it has been my best friend! It's definitely got a bit more tone to it than a traditional tube screamer, but you can get a decent bit of fairly clean overdrive out of it.
    Once you start getting higher gain out of it, the overdrive becomes nice and warm. Further, if you turn off the "Tone" switch, it starts to move into an OD/Light Fuzz territory.
    Simply put, it's super versatile for everything I need!
