For a guy that owns every pedal ever made by the mankind (and sometimes owning a couple of them) Josh is probably the furthest thing away from a gear snub or a nerd, even though he looks like the perfect gear snub and the nerd. I mean wearing a "JHS PEDALS SUCK" t-shirt while talking about another guitar pedal brand is just cool and down to earth.
I actually have one he has no idea about In the late 60's there was a short lived pedal builder Ampi-Tek I have there Phaser I don't even know if they made other pedals or not Tampa company and I live in Tampa Discovered it in my closet Did not even know it was there Box ...paperwork...promo/ad flyer Couldn't have been built too much later than the Univibe I should email him about it He never responded to a couple comments about it Will see
@@paulcowart3174 I have an even rarer pedal, only 3 is known to exist. ua-cam.com/video/vy67bCv2or4/v-deo.html I hope to someday create the rarest pedal in the world!
Franchement c'est la classe qu'une marque comme Anasounds soit française. Des pédales innovantes, de grande qualité, et du bon goût tant au niveau du son que des visuels 👌
The Bitoun's faceplate is a Petit Lu biscuit, à French classic! Fun fact: it has four big ears, for the seasons, 24 holes, for the hours in a day and 52 small teeth, for the 52 weeks in a year! As for Oxygène... It is indeed a classic as well and no, it is not New Wave but Progressive Electronic Music ;)
Moon Safari by Air is my favourite French record!! Plus I love Anasound pedals, the element is my favourite. I don't use it as a reverb though, I always have the little switch engaged and use it like a fuzz!
The bitoun fuzz is inspired by Julien Bitoun, Guitarist, columnist, writer, podcaster. This guy is crazy... By the way he love America. The Bitoun fuzz is a double fuzz.
Literally just spent the bulk of last night’s Tone Journey falling back - and further - in Iove with my Savage (which I was kinda feeling was not getting the internet love it deserved.) And now this morning…you, guru, further guiding the way. Nice to feel like this constant exploration is ever on the cusp of something wonderful. Long live The Tone Journey!
I'm a simple french dude, I see JHS talking about Anasound, I instantly like it . Joke aside, I've been watching both your show and Palf for years now, and you both did an AMAZING job at explaining what pedals are made of and made for, and I'm deeply grateful for what you've done. Oh, and the element is my fav from them, truly making the spring reverbe a whole new world when it comes to pedals
I have the Element with all three reverb tanks. It's amazing. Josh didn't mention that it has a saturation mode (although it looks like he has it on when he demos it) that produces a very distinct & trashy sort of overdrive with the reverb. Also, the tanks are named Le Bon (The Good), La Brute (The Bad), and Le Truand (The Ugly).
I'm wondering if I can use my amp's reverb circuit with a tank outside of the cabinet like these. That way I could try a long tank out instead of the 6" tank that came in my amp. 🤷 Seems like I may need to close the bottom of the tank like they have but otherwise I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as the red & white cables are long enough to reach outside of the cab. You can obviously use a tank outside of the amp as proven by this pedal but I'm just not sure if it'll work the same using the built-in circuit from the amp. I'm guessing it will. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't.
We use to listen the Oxygen album at my friend's house back circa 77-78! We thought he would be a keyboard wizard like Rick Wakeman, but Jean-Michel Jarre turned out to be a different kind of wizard.
I've been watching PALF for some time, as a French pedal lover. This show is amazing. It is less written than the JHS show, but I really love the way the show is hosted. A few days ago, I was searching on YT to see if JHS had made an episode talking about Anasounds, I couldn't find anything... And just today, I receive this alert saying the episode I was looking for was just aired. Thank you very much JHS show. Josh, your accent doesn't look French at all, but it is really lovely.
It's worth remembering that with the Anasounds Reverb you can use any reverb tank you want to buy - you will have to just make an enclosure for it - cos they don't come in bamboo and transparent plastic ones! The pedal is therefore amazing it also has a smidgen of gain on tap too! 🙂
Love the Jean Michelle Jarre. There are actually 2 follow up albums which were amalgamated into the oxygen trilogy and which get more futuristic in nature but with the same “theme”. Mind bending for hours.
D'autres marques françaises interressantes: Val Martin's (surtout des fuzzes & drives) , Doc Music Station et Manna Pedals (seulement une fuzz & une OD à ma connaissance) & Jacques Pédales.. Par contre Anasounds est sans doutes la seule à être distribuée en Amérique du Nord
OXYGENE Prt II is IMHO the most amazing synth composition ever. I know this music since I was 7 years old, my dad had this album and Equinox which is another gem.
In business, most companies only want to increase their share of the pie. Josh only wants to increase the size of the pie, and seemingly doesn't care how big his slice is. That makes JHS awesome.
Here in France, Anasound is a amazing pedal company and Julien Bitoun an amazing guitarist ! 😃Thanks for talking about them. ^_^ France rocks too ! ;-)
kudos to the camera operator for aligning the jam camera level with the small gap between the amp chassis and baffle so we can see through to Josh’s guitar behind the amp. subtle details are everything!
Nice vidéo ! Just got the limited edition of the savage mk1 ! What an amazing clone of the klon centaur.... High fidelity and quality sound all of the range of gain... So much fun... Anasounds rules the world of analogic quality pedals ! Thanks to give them the audience that they diserve ! Cheers from Normandy (France) !
Hey Josh, you NEED to check out Jean Michel Jarre's live performances (DVD etc.) He is the foremost synth musician IMHO. Light and laser triggered synths, the Theremin.... If there's a type of synth you have never heard of, he probably performs on one. This man is the simply AMAZING!!
Oxygene rules! Jean Michel Jarre has also released Oxygene II ('97) and Oxygene III ('16), which is my personal favorite of the bunch, and actually my favorite record by Jean Michel, period. Great episode, as always. The French Prince joke was good.
Killer vibe to this one...feels wide and warm and cold and narrow all at once... gonna fork it on band lab if it's up on there...ty guys for all of the top notch content and entertainment..Its.unreal how much access and knowledge there is these days...great job....ty again
I met them at NAMM a few years ago and played a few of the pedals featured in this video. I'm so glad you guys did a show on them. Such great sounds and magnificent and beautiful design thinking.
J'adore !!! I agree with you, Palf is really the French equivalent of your channel. I like the way Alex (from Anasounds) and yourself, share your knowledge and make us discover pedals from everywhere. For the records Jean-Michel Jarre is the son of Maurice Jarre, music film maker...
Ordered an Elements reverb, and it is nicer than any reverb I've ever heard in an amp. I got the La Brute (medium) tank, & it has as much verb as I'll ever need. I did have an issue at first, but the Anasounds guys in France were very responsive via email, & it turned out the problem was a super easy fix I could do myself. I have a very small amp head with no onboard reverb, & I can't stand digital reverb (I've tried: it sounds like a freakin' ring-tone made of an hourglass full of sharp, jagged glass sand), but none of the true spring reverb devices out there seemed all that good for the money. The Elements is PERFECT, and the "saturation" switch creates a nice trashy psychedelic distortion for space-outs.
My wife is French, more precisely from the South of France (Montpellier, near Marseille) and first time I saw Anasound was in a small guitar repair shop with some new stuff. It was astonishing! I tried the Moose-one and was like OMG! It sounds really great, but I have a bunch of this sounds, so betters leave it there, more probably because of the price that cost! More than 250 bucks! But you’re right: they sounds very interesting and might be a new look to classics things. And, for more knowledge, French people doesn’t bring their “baguettes” (a classic French bread) beneath their armpits and drink more than red wine! Great work, as always! Don’t worry, we’ll not leaving you alone!!!❤️
Very cool episode, and yes Anasounds is great ! Need more of French music with English Fuzz boxes ? If you haven’t already, do yourself a favor and listen to Serge Gainsbourg’s seminal album from 1970 « Histoire de Melody Nelson ». May change your life forever and for the better !
French AC/DC Jazz......heck yeh ! Loved that jam and damn the pedal sounded awesome, I could pick up a distinct AC/DC tone . Now I just gotta have that pedal ......thanks again Josh!
Hey @JHS Pedals / Scott. Check out Air French Band's Moon Safary, its retro synthy psychedelic ambient chill frenchness in all its glory! Keep on rockin' the great content! Thanks guys!
Love both Jean-Michel Jarre and Anasound. I built the FX driver and it is a pretty cool customisable (bass cap and clipping diode) Tube screamer drive.. Very high quality parts and great sound too.
I Love that album!!! I somehow got my first copy of it around 1980, played it to death, then got my second copy in 1986. It is very unique. Those are very Nice pedals as well, get it? Peace, Keith in RVA
Jean Michel Jarre is one of the pioneers of electronic music from the 70's. He used to plug his string machine into a phaser pedal "Small Stone", it's a characteristic sound of his music. If you like "Oxygene", you could listen to his following opus "Equinoxe". He learned a bit of experimental music called "concrete music" with Pierre Schaeffer in the 60's. And then, he wanted to mix this kind of avant-garde with popular music, using synths and samplers (tape recorders at that time). Oxygene is the bestseller of french pop music (I think it's more than 18 millions copies sold around the world now).
Man, Jean-Michel Jarre is a LEGEND, Oxygene is a universal masterpiece, one of the first electronic music ones! I first heard this age 8 and it is still relevant! I introduced my kid to it when he was 4 and it was one of his best! Don't be shy and listen to Zoolook, it has Adrian Belew on guitar...😉
Hi ! I'm a French Palf follower . "Bitoun fuzz" come from the name of Julien Bitoun 'The guy with the black beard at the beginning of the video (1:17). Pronounce "Betun" in English...an excellent guitarist who collaborate with Anasounds . 😉
i wasn't going to say anything but then i saw the plea for help from Nick at the end: riviera is a borrowed word from italian that means coastline. the French Riviera is at the ocean; it's not a river ❤
The Harmonic Tremelo and the Phaser really caught my ear. Some excellent pedals there. Really cool jams too, like the way you adapted the songs to bring out the characteristics of the effects. Or at least that’s how it comes across to me. Props to your rhythm section too 🤘🏼 Thanks for Demonstrating these fine pedals in an entertaining, informative way, without a trace of patronisation. These just keep getting better. Thanks Josh 👍🏼
Nice Demo, awesome tones, never heard of Anasounds cool you always bring up new interesting stuff . Btw just got my JHS Haunting Mids in the mail and I love it so much especially in combination with my JHS Morning Glory or a Fuzz really nice pedals! Keep on going :D
Josh French Culture 101(thank you Nick!!!!!!stay close to him, he needs it) : French from France and also French from Québec Canada. :) Love your show \m/
LOVE Jean Michel Jarre, Oxygene is classic. Must recommend Zoolook as well, do not miss! Features some early Laurie Anderson vocals and samples, sooo good!
Really he is letting the world or should I say international gear heads aware of these small but good builder's Hats off I say It's a good thing to know of alternatives Might even turn a company around
PLEASE talk about, recommend, expand on, etc., Rival Sons and their sound for record time. I just discovered this band (yes, I’m out of the loop), but I love them. Very modern retro. Great songwriting, singer, all that stuff. Tell me what you think.
I’ve seen the reverb before, really cool if you have the space on your board for the large “tank”, or if you don’t have reverb in your amp, just stick it all in the back and leave it on all the time.
I’m late but all of you, Josh, all of JHS, anyone reading this watch the a French film Band of Outsiders. Jean Luc Godard doesn’t consider himself French but all the movies he made in the 60s are amazing and will blow your mind.
As a french guy, i liked this video so much :) Thank you. BTW, i'm user of Bitoun Fuzz, Ego Driver (and Savage mkI in the near future) : these are great pedals, as much for the sound (the fuzz is huge, the ego driver is bluesy as f***),as for the design quality (no noise, buzz, etc, switches & buttons robustness, connectors on top of the pedals). Very, very great products.
I had the delay for a day, wanted to love it but so noisy it was unusable. Ticking sound from the modulation came through no matter how low it was set. And had to push the power adapter in with pliers it was so tight fitting.

The pedal with a bite outta it looks like a cookie. A Nice cookie , coincidence I think not???
Nice. Just when you think something new can’t be done, BAM! These guys roll onto the scene. I’m curious how the fuzz face sounds.
Yes me too Plus it makes you use your guitar controls and that's a good thing

Jean Michelle Jarre is the soundtrack to my childhood! Not sure why, but it was and I love it.
I have the Element w/ the tank in my 112 cab and Feed Me, both excellent pedals!
Did not know the Blue River was named after a civil war battle. So much knowledge.
Whoever, whenever suggested JEAN... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! And thank you guys at JHS for reading these suggestions at least as much!!!!
LOVE Jean Michel Jarre, Oxygene is classic. Must recommend Zoolook as well, do not miss! Features some early Laurie Anderson vocals and samples, sooo good!
And Marcus Miller!
@@finissuper29 Heck yeah! And Adrian Belew and Yogi Horton... 😍
I am lovin’ all the 80s New Wave jams on this session!
Well, there goes my plan to get one of these reverbs for a great price online. Thanks, Josh. Thanks.
Great album! Been listening to it for years, one of my faves.
JHS UA-cam channel turned into infomercials so fast we almost didn't even notice
Not even close haha
Really he is letting the world or should I say international gear heads aware of these small but good builder's Hats off I say It's a good thing to know of alternatives Might even turn a company around
PLEASE talk about, recommend, expand on, etc., Rival Sons and their sound for record time. I just discovered this band (yes, I’m out of the loop), but I love them. Very modern retro. Great songwriting, singer, all that stuff. Tell me what you think.
the bitoun fuzz (pronounced bee-toon) is from a friend of alex and he appears regularly on palf ! great channel
Jean Michel Jarre is married to Gong Li. Thats enough to make me a fan for life.
I’ve seen the reverb before, really cool if you have the space on your board for the large “tank”, or if you don’t have reverb in your amp, just stick it all in the back and leave it on all the time.
I’m late but all of you, Josh, all of JHS, anyone reading this watch the a French film Band of Outsiders. Jean Luc Godard doesn’t consider himself French but all the movies he made in the 60s are amazing and will blow your mind.
"Moose Animal" is a good idea for a band name.
Love that the Bitoun top is a cheeky nod to 'Nice' biscuits
I have a spring reverb tank from a hammond, i remember it sounded so goshdarn cool
Merci Josh de parler un peu du matériel musique de chez nous. Cheers from France.
As a french guy, i liked this video so much :) Thank you. BTW, i'm user of Bitoun Fuzz, Ego Driver (and Savage mkI in the near future) : these are great pedals, as much for the sound (the fuzz is huge, the ego driver is bluesy as f***),as for the design quality (no noise, buzz, etc, switches & buttons robustness, connectors on top of the pedals). Very, very great products.
I like these jams so much I'm going to start playing them on my stereo. Sitting back.
This guy puts "suck" in any video now, and we have to watch it.
I had the delay for a day, wanted to love it but so noisy it was unusable. Ticking sound from the modulation came through no matter how low it was set. And had to push the power adapter in with pliers it was so tight fitting.
I love this channel so much, I even let the ads play through. You're welcome! Take that $29.99 and buy a cup of coffee.
