I mean technically a wah pedal is a one knob pedal, and probably the most used and influential one at that. It just so happens to have a foot pedal attached to the knob.
I'm here for the guitar stuff, no doubt. BUT whoever is mixing the drums and all that. MAJOR props. Those things sound ffrrreeessshhh. Also the guitars too. good stuff.
Honestly it's that Colour box 500 series preamp, you can really really control mic sensitivity with them, you look in the background theres like 5 of them, I imagine they wire the whole kit through it.
The pedals are great and the demos are fun but the drummer stole the show, not just with his solid playing but, as you point out, during the DoD demo. Priceless. Ha!
I'd be down for a JHS Rangemaster! There aren't many treble boosters on the market so I'd like to think an authentic sounding one from a big name would put them on more people's radar!
I don't own any of your pedals (yet) but I like your videos, because you're not a pedal snob. You just explain some of the differences between the various pedals, without totally trashing any particular brand names.
until i saw this comment, i didnt even know that was a real amp... i thot JHS just redid the external look of an amp from another brand for them to use in the vids ... haha... just googled and read the full specs
Hey Josh, A hand wired Treble boost would be bad ass. Good show as always, I’m a phase 95 guy. And favorite 1 hit wonder. Pure Prairie League’s Bustin Out, which had the hit “Amie”. 1972. Even though I’m not old enough to remember when it came out.
How humble is this guy?! He builds and sells pedals, but rather than push his own pedals all the time, he gives his own a passing glance as boasts about other makers’ pedals. This dude, seems like a genuinely honest guy! 👍🏻
One of the main reasons I'm here to stay, he keeps his approach with his heart and let's the listener decide if they'd like to venture into the world JHS Pedals, truly a leader. 🤘
The DOD Psycho Acoustic Processor seems to be aural/sonic/harmonic enhancer/maximizer, it kind of raises the odd harmonics or something (that's why you can here more treble). Like Boss EH-2 or studio BBE sonic maximizer.
@@rosswilkinson1022 Well, it's a Rangemaster replica, and the Rangemaster or a clone was or is a basic part of the sound of Rory Gallagher, Brian May from Queen, Glenn Tipton from Judas Priest, Marc Bolan of T-Rex, and Ritchie Blackmore. Tommy Iommi from Black Sabbath used a modified version. So absolutely a very late-'60s/'70s British sound! (Billy Gibbons uses one too. Eric Clapton almost certainly *did not* use it on the Beano album, though!)
I used to play as a teen (family life and such) and like most folk, the curiosity of pedals, is endless. I love these videos, where you list random funky products. 101 series is good aswell
Hey Josh, This is Derek from Houston. Thanks for another great vid. Even though I'm a fan of Chase Bliss, and own some with seemingly endless permutations and daunting curve to dial in, I more the enjoy the designs with fewer knobs, like one, or NONE! Notably the EQD Tentacle and the Union Tube and Transistor ( &Third Man Records) Bumble Buzz. They are what they are when on. A refreshing take after the seemingly infinite permutations on the many knobbed design. Another aspect I really enjoy about your vids is that you get right to the point instead of hours of ancillary jibber-jabber, and keep them short. And record time is a great touch! Onya!
Well, this video led me down the JHS rabbit hole - I've watched 10 more at least. One request: do you have a list of all the album recommendations that come at the end of your videos? I'd like to follow up on all them, a list would facilitate that. BTW, if you decided to do a Patreon, would def. get subscribers to it.
Hey I just wanted to say there’s not many musician youtubers I love to watch like you anymore. Your vids are always great and the depth of reviews are premium and the music is great, not to mention that craftsmanship. Many smiles and big ups to you man.
I love a dyna comp. One knob pedals are my favorite. I've never been enamoured of big board effects, or laptop-sized pedals. That's why folks like MXR still have my heart. They're small pedals, they do one thing, they do it well, with simple and cool colors. They're "pedals," I don't really have to learn them. I get excited more by "I wonder what this turquoise things sounds like," than "I wonder how many sounds I can get out of this highly tweakable multi-effects device."
@@BoltRM I was thinking the same thing. The whole A side is In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida but the songs on the B side are great. Flowers and Beads and Are You Happy are personal favs.
One Hit Wonder..in UK. Sugar Minott Good Thing Going, released in 1978 is the quintessential reggae track. It has everything, great song, (Jackson's cover), great recording of a live studio band, simple arrangement, very few elements, with the classic reggae feel and tone and to top it all a fabulous singer. I have listened to this song more times than there have been days in the last 40 years and I can honestly say I never tire of hearing it. thanks Josh for your YT content, you are always informative, engaging and a pleasure to follow.
Dude you’re so cool. I never comment on videos but I’m genuinely so fond of what you do I felt a compulsion from deep down. I don’t own any JHS stuff yet but I’m tryna hop on that train soon. Also god bless you for shouting out The Cardigans - I’ve been proselytizing on their behalf for years - absurdly underrated group.
I genuinely hate that pedal for anything but clean sound. You cant click it on if you high volume and gain, it drives the signal up so high and makes it trebley
@@matthewkennedy7283 if you're playing in a band that's a pro actually making you be heard better...I actually like this happening with my phase90. I don't understand why people are paranoid and complain about slight volume boost when eventually they buy a clean boost. Paradox I say...
Really love how you even pan over to your drummer-friend over there and give him some love too. I come to watch the pedal demos, but he's tight AYY EFF and you are a Gent.
In my late teens and early 20s I used to play live with a little Electro Harmonix Muff Fuzz duct taped to my strap. They dont have foot switches, but a sliding toggle instead. I would just reach down and flip it on and off. It let me run all over the place when we played, and was a nasty rude fuzz just perfect for the psychedelic punk we were playing then. So great, very cool, and so much fun!!
Record Time: Dishwalla's "Pet Your Friends". Everyone might have heard "Counting Blue Cars" on the radio, but the whole album is pretty solid start to finish: "Charlie Brown's Parents", "Miss Emma Peel" and "Moisture" are stand-outs.
+1 on the rangemaster. And what about the no knob pedals. Love the union tube bumblebuzz and the henrietta engineering stuff. And SLADE- keep your hands off my power supply.
I bought a Catalinbread Sagrado Pablano Stout Boost years ago when I asked the local shop what would help my clean tones. I didn't even understand it then but it did what they said it would. Now, I love that old pedal, especially with a Tele or Strat. I also found a used Serrano Picoso Boost recently. You can use them as a buffer, or clean boost, or make it really dirty. They're rather obscure, but the picoso boosts are fantastic! You make a great case for the beano boost! Sounds awesome
Possum Kingdom kneecapped the Toadies. Rubberneck was such an amazing album (esp Tyler, I Come From The Water, Away, and I Burn) with amazing tone that had to be recorded ridiculously loud. The followup record has great songs like Song I Hate and No Deliverance which are bangers too. Some others to check are When I Die, I Put a Spell on You, and Summer of the Strange
erictoniaschwab1009 Certainly in the UK, ‘The Sun Always Shines On TV’ was a big hit as well as ‘Take On Me’. First LP I ever bought (well, I got my Mum to buy for me). Massively underrated.
Definitely agree on A-ha. It's too bad they're primarily known for "Take On Me" because that entire album is amazing. "Train Of Thought", "Hunting High and Low","The Sun Always Shines On TV"... so many great songs!
I had one of these. It was kind of clunky to put in an SG, so I replaced it with a LPB-2, which is the floor model. Both were extremely noisy, in my experience.
One hit wonder/great album: The Refreshments, Fizzy Fuzzy, Big and Buzzy. Loovvved this album. One of the first I bought with my own money. Still listen to it 25 years later.
My fav “one hit wonder” band (though I hate that term) is Blind Melon. Criminally underrated band whose first LP sounds nothing like their huge hit “no rain”. Psycho jammy guitar slinging goodness.
The original Duncan Pickup Booster has been on one of my boards since it first came out. Always on and yet still works. Proof that magic exists in our world
Good to hear you playing through just one pedal. So many reviews use the reverb/overdrive and other stuff and you just can't hear what the pedal is doing to the sound.
Thank you for mentioning that Cardigans record. My favorite amazing one-hit record is Harvey Danger's "Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone," though a lot of 90s powerpop/alternative bands had awesome records that suffered the same fate (Nada Surf).
Funny, I was going to pop in and mention the second Harvey Danger album, King James Version, which I think is a) brilliant and b) mostly unheard and unappreciated.
Favorite one knob pedal - Electro Harmonix Small Clone chorus. Favorite one hit wonder album- New Radicals - Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too. They had the song “You get what you give” but the singer also produced and wrote songs for many bigger artists like Santana, Michelle Branch, and others.
Dude, you’ve just got this thing RIGHT!!! last week the hidden treasures of Behringer, this week you give props to my always-on favourite pedal, the SDPB. What great punishment this will give a tube amp deserves more credit, and higher sales. 10/10. Again.
I have always been weary of one knob pedals, but you showed and demoed some really great stuff! Thanks for the info and have a great day. Feel better brother!
I only have one one knob pedal: TC Electronic Rush booster pedal. It’s a nice clean booster pedal. It pushes my Marshall Origin enough to make it overdrive in my apartment without upsetting the neighbors and keeping my tone faithful to where I have my clean tone at.
I mean technically a wah pedal is a one knob pedal, and probably the most used and influential one at that. It just so happens to have a foot pedal attached to the knob.
@@espxplorer except the pedal itself is just one big 'knob'. moving the pedal just turns the potentiometer inside.
@@ChamiCh all my expression pedals are optical, no knob at all.
@@rowlandstraylight fair! I've even got one that I built myself using an accelerometer.
@@ChamiCh how is that any different from what he said
I love how you lift others up. You’re a good man, Charlie Brown. As for one-knob pedals, I love the TC Electronic Mini-Spark: aka, my always on pedal.
X2… always on!
I'm here for the guitar stuff, no doubt. BUT whoever is mixing the drums and all that. MAJOR props. Those things sound ffrrreeessshhh.
Also the guitars too. good stuff.

Check out this vid for more info @ 22:50 ua-cam.com/video/l8k__hDsUxQ/v-deo.html
It does sound so good!
Yeah, the earcandy is luscious with a velvety mouthfeel.
I would like to see an episode with some “overwhelming complicated pedals”.
I think the ZOIA pretty much takes the cake in that department.
I kinda want one, but they're expensive, and also I'm a bit scared of it.
ua-cam.com/video/kM2TqkV-UbU/v-deo.html
@Kurtis Jilk why would you do that to your friend?
PurPLL (Actually, most PLL based pedals probably count...)
That's just any episode about Strymon products.
You have got to tell us more about your drum mic setup. It just sounds so good.
He did a video
It looks like they make liberal use of the JHS Color Boxes 500 Series. And those things are Bae.
Honestly it's that Colour box 500 series preamp, you can really really control mic sensitivity with them, you look in the background theres like 5 of them, I imagine they wire the whole kit through it.
The kid can play pretty well too.
Man Slaughter Nick is the man.
Your drummer mugging for the camera during the DOD demo is GOLD.
The pedals are great and the demos are fun but the drummer stole the show, not just with his solid playing but, as you point out, during the DoD demo. Priceless. Ha!
I'm up for a handwired JHS treble booster!
Me too!
So do I !
Yup, count me in
Count me in as well.....!
Yeah me too. Build me one!
I'd be down for a JHS Rangemaster! There aren't many treble boosters on the market so I'd like to think an authentic sounding one from a big name would put them on more people's radar!
I agree, I’m down for a hand wired treb boost.
I’m actually shocked you don’t have a treble booster! I’d buy one in a heartbeat. I have an AC15 so I need one!
Agreed! Would love one for my Matchless amps! Available?
wet reggie - I’ve been eyeballing a Dallas Rangemaster for years. Please, build some great ones!
It's the pedal every beginner should build. I made a board slightly smaller than 2 cm X 2 cm, with only the knob on board
record time: HUM, you'd prefer an astronaut. the one hit (kinda) is "Stars". such a killer album
I wore that one out back in the day. My favorite track is I'd Like Your Hair Long.
Definitely a great album and band.
Massive influence on Deftones. Deftones sound a lot less original after you've heard it, tbh.
You'd Prefer An Astronaut is a phenomenal album. One of my favourite records from the 90s.
Agreed.
I don't own any of your pedals (yet) but I like your videos, because you're not a pedal snob. You just explain some of the differences between the various pedals, without totally trashing any particular brand names.
i kind of wish my "loud is more good" amp had that grill cloth. i like what the one its got, but that wide mesh just looks so cool to me.
Better tone with the white grill cloth. The dye they used on that limited run actually reflects 3khz which really sooths the ear.
until i saw this comment, i didnt even know that was a real amp... i thot JHS just redid the external look of an amp from another brand for them to use in the vids ... haha... just googled and read the full specs
3:57 the design is cool, the color is cool and even with no label whatsoever is making it cooler…
JHS RangeMaster would be absolutely dreams coming true for me.
Ditto
Oh boy would that be a treat! :-)
Its a very small circuit but it has an important tone. If you're into that.
If you are interested, the discontinued jhs banana boost is a modified rangemaster
The freeze from EHX is one of my favorite pedals of all time, and it happens to have one knob!
I can’t express how much i love the speaker cranker
It’s always on
Guitar, bass
Boost it with a LPB1 and it gets ferocious!
The drummer's shrug made my week. Yes, it's been a trying seven days, but I still chortled.
The drummers got his star trek gold operations officer uniform on haha
Haha! Glad he’s not a red shirt well you know what happens to those poor guys.
From the original series pilot episode.
Don't put on the red shirt!
Hah! Kinda looks like Wesley Crusher too...
Hey Josh,
A hand wired Treble boost would be bad ass.
Good show as always, I’m a phase 95 guy.
And favorite 1 hit wonder.
Pure Prairie League’s Bustin Out, which had the hit “Amie”. 1972. Even though I’m not old enough to remember when it came out.
Id like to think im a one knob wonder
Zoog my boog
Username checks out
😂😂😂🤣🤣
Best comment ever lol
Chuckled a bit then read your user name, lmao! That made it, well played.
One of my favourite One Knob Wonder pedals is the MXR Micro Amp. It is simple but yet effective. Love it.
Micro amp is best deal in the world for a boost
I love Josh's guitar playing. Great info and presentation, too.
Speaker Cranker is a pedal that if it is on your board, you end up having it on all the time because of how much it improves any amp's tone.
"Happiness through gear is real.. It's a real thing..." I 100% approve this!! Lol
How humble is this guy?!

Echoplex Pre is worth mentioning too, in my opinion. Thank you for the video!
It's never off, in my signal chain.
Never off in my chain either.
Never off.
Never off in mine either
Echoplex Pre. Never off, always on. To the break of dawn...
The DOD Psycho Acoustic Processor seems to be aural/sonic/harmonic enhancer/maximizer, it kind of raises the odd harmonics or something (that's why you can here more treble). Like Boss EH-2 or studio BBE sonic maximizer.
Love your show! And I was very happy to hear of your love for that Cardigans album! I have loved it from day one! So tight! Thank you for the lessons!
Thanks for your vídeos, I'm learning english with them and about gear, obviously.
Analogman Beano Boost sounds really really amazing!!!! 😍😍😍
they are! I have one and you can choose to boost treble, mids, or bass. It is powerful (can get really loud).
I think it would sound great in front of a Marshall!
@@rosswilkinson1022 I play it in front of an 18W Marshall and it is a beautiful thing. Too loud for my house. But for solos in a band perfect.

You can make a one-knob pedalboard through a one-knob amp (like a champ 600) with a one-knob guitar - the One-Knob A Team!

Funny, I was going to pop in and mention the second Harvey Danger album, King James Version, which I think is a) brilliant and b) mostly unheard and unappreciated.
Sponge - Rotting Piñata. Really cool album.
I had a big green Russian small stone when I was a kid. Loved that thing! I wish I still had it.
Is your amp based on any particular amp? I know a lot of pedals can sound way different depending on the amp.
It's a Fender Bassman circuit
wow !!!!
Favorite one knob pedal - Electro Harmonix Small Clone chorus.
Favorite one hit wonder album- New Radicals - Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too.
They had the song “You get what you give” but the singer also produced and wrote songs for many bigger artists like Santana, Michelle Branch, and others.
Also Josh, Im gonna need one of those hand builts stat ;)
Dude, you’ve just got this thing RIGHT!!! last week the hidden treasures of Behringer, this week you give props to my always-on favourite pedal, the SDPB. What great punishment this will give a tube amp deserves more credit, and higher sales. 10/10. Again.
I would buy a handwired rangemaster along with one of those amps :p
Thanks!
one more for the jhs milkman!
I have always been weary of one knob pedals, but you showed and demoed some really great stuff! Thanks for the info and have a great day. Feel better brother!
Uh yeah! Handwired by you?! That’s a YES!!!
I only have one one knob pedal: TC Electronic Rush booster pedal. It’s a nice clean booster pedal. It pushes my Marshall Origin enough to make it overdrive in my apartment without upsetting the neighbors and keeping my tone faithful to where I have my clean tone at.
record time: Elastica's s/t 1995 album
So frustrating this isn't on Spotify!
titus chalk boooo to that!
See That Animal is just so, so perfect. That whole album has really cool uncommon song structures and shorter lengths that give it rare energy.
titus chalk it is on Spotify
Just picked up a Whirlwind Orange Phaser one knob wonder and love it!
Dat Beano Boost tho.
yeah, I'd have a listen and maybe buy a JHS Treble Booster... so long as its not 80 million dolars like analog man.
It will be don't worry
Oh yeah, the Beano was balls to the walls awesome!
Came here to say this. That pedal really stood out to me.
The guitar playing with the clean boost gave me great post hardcore/math rock vibes
