When I worked at Mars Music from 2001 until they went out of business in 2003, I had a coworker who once took a Danelectro Sitar Swami, walked over to a JCM2000 full stack with an ESP in hand, plugged in, dimed the gain, set the master just above 0, hit the pedal and spent about 5 minutes noodling before looking up and proclaiming, "This pedal sucks." That kid was my hero.
This is one of my new favorite UA-cam comments. Amazing story lol
I definitely screenshotted this for safe keeping
hey, I know who this is! this comment is from the bass player from Radiant! I have something signed by you somewhere.
Why did he say it sucks, if he played it for 5 minutes?!?!?
Loved this anecdote. I've also encountered such an animal in the wild before.
the gain knob wasnt even halfway turned up on the 100% Drive. I'm beyond sold
Nick’s drums are on point today. Also, the Way Huge Atreides Weirding Module is my vote for best pedal name ever.
I need that Atreides!!!! So good!
@phunkateer68 The drums were very creative today, what Nick played on the Spam Jam was tasty!
@Bogey Addison is like a ghost in the night...standing (or sitting playing bass) just outside your peripheral vision (just off camera)...with a great haircut.
@phunkateer68 I just really enjoyed his playing on this episode.
Nick was on point with the cowbell.
My top three: DOD "Meatbox", Snarling Dogs Pedals "Erogenous Moan", Dr No effects "More Gary". Fun show this week, Thanks!
I bought a used snarling dog wah pedal years ago. The eyes lit up. I'm not sure if that was factory or not but it was a decent wah. I sold it and went back to a cry baby.it wasn't a bad sound, not just a full wah.
Marshmallow artificial sweetener, Gonkulator Modulator, Gorantula, and STM's 'Bubbles'
My favorite pedal names:
Way Huge "Conspiracy Theory"
Center Street Electronics "God Hates Fuzz"
Malekko "B:assmaster"
Pigtronix "Philosopher's Tone"
Idiotbox "Landphil"
Moog "Cluster Flux"
Servus Pedale "Yodelmaster 2"
"Yodelmaster 2" got me good haha... like was their a Yodelmaster 1?? How would one even improve upon that mastery of a Pedal :o
Still waiting on that Sovtek episode...
Why does he have so many?
why does the spam delay actually sound beautiful
Reminds me of a Memory Man, one of the proper ones
Sounded great. But also would like a version where the repeats just go "spam spam spam spam"
@@guitarball SPAMSPAM SPAMMMMM WONDERFUL SPAM
Does anyone else get filled with joy when Josh says he has the box?
I built myself a spring reverb - entirely; the spring tank is made from cardboard, a spring, and two piezos with hooks on them - into a cigar box and had the whole top of the box to label it. So I made vinyl decals of a little fairy character from the Touhou Project games and titled the unit:
The Lily White "It's Spring!" Reverb.
I'm pretty pissed that you only had the 100% Drive at 50% drive. The instructions are literally the name of the pedal.
Why is there even a drive knob then?
It doesn't matter where you put it. It's 💯
I'm with you, it's the 100% drive, don't you have to show it off at 100%?
It’d be amazing if that pot was intentionally not wired to the rest of the circuit. Literally 100% Drive at every setting. 😂
Right!!!! 😂
The swollen pickle has always seemed like an inside joke. Especially when the brand is Way Huge lol.
Considering it’s a Big Muff circuit with tweaks, think of it as something that finally satisfies that Big Muff craving...
I have the Way Huge Saucy Box, and even though I own a Helix, I'll never sell the Saucy Box. It's just the right amount of filthy, I love it!
I feel like an Aqua-puss
If you like guitar related products that come with plenty of innuendo, you need to go take a look at the Friedman Amps nomenclature. The “BE” from the BE100… The Pink Taco, etc… Dave Friedman is a dirty ol man.
"Moon Funeral" - Sokka needs a moment alone.
Thats rough buddy
Sparky Boom Man approves!
*sheds a tear for Sokka*😢😞
I think we need a yearly guitar gear meetup called Opinion Fest. Maybe have it in Kansas City. IDK just a thought.
Surprised this list isn't just Earthquaker pedals. Everything they make sounds exactly like what you'd think when you read the name.
Them and Electro-Harmonix and great at crazy names.
Yeah, their names are almost onomatopoeias
I never thought about that, but you are absolutely correct!
Not sure they do but the names and graphics are superb. I also like the names of Walrus and Zvex pedals. The boutiques have it down.
So I’m a huge Zappa fan and until I found your show there has never been anything as sonically interesting to me! Thank you for filling that space in my ears and heart that had been lost for so long!
Big Muff has got to be the greatest pedal name ever.
Especially with the -pi' symbol.
@@geraldfriend256 my kind of people
Because muff means vagina? Wow, I had no idea that males see women as objects!
@@geraldfriend256 Wait, you mean like “cherry pie”? “Pi” as in “pie” in reference to “vagina”? Wow I had no clue that Big Muff Pi was a good name and totally wasn’t meant to objectify women and sexualize an object i.e., guitar pedals.
@@tootrue Does a Z.Vex SHO objectify men?
“It's like, how much more drive could this be? And the answer is none. None more drive.”
“I was a Wolf in the Forest” Distortion by Animals pedals is probably my favorite name and the artwork is also damn cool.
I love that I've never heard anything sound less like a Sitar than the Sitar Swami.
I started playing guitar 3 months ago and i wanted say thanks to the whole JHS team for such great content and keep it coming.
Everyone in Philly has a story about ordering a cheesesteak when it almost made them cry. It's a rite of passage.
No lies detected. “BRUH, DO YOU WANT IT WIT OR WITOUT?!” *....I don’t know... sniff...*
"The world's biggest knobs episode"
Okay
Hahaha! Fer sure.
Have to say this was such a great episode! Instant classic and perfect jams!! This is why I love the JHS show!!
Brilliant jams as always!
It's a travesty that the Henretta Engineering Choad Blaster isn't mentioned. Maybe you just don't have one, Josh? Well, you NEED one.
We need to hear more about this cheesesteak in Philly story....
Sounds to me like he asked for ketchup
@@justie1220 i'm thinking raw onions on the side..
Awesome musical sequences! you're on the top!
I really enjoyed the jams this week. Even though you were probably just goofing on genres. Good energy none-the-less
I am staggering in a haze of confusion trying to figure out how this list can exist without the inclusion of the almighty DOD Gonkulator. Actually, I only watched this video to see if the Gonkulator would be in first place or just close to first place. My entire perception of reality is in jeopardy.
you and me both "broheimer"
I expected it too! Now, shall we demand that Josh shoot an additional video with the Gonkulator?
I heard it has been reissued with one extra, much needed, carrier wave control.Whoo!!
A shocking oversight indeed.
I would have also accepted "Luneral" as an answer.
Many thanks for the video! Nick is awesome on the drum! Wow! 👍
That 100% Drive was my favourite sound. And the riffs on that jam were such a rush. Props to you guys
The Earthquaker Devices Tone Job gave me a good chuckle when I picked it up
Oh wow, it’s supposed to mean blow job! That’s so funny omg hilariously lame and disgusting!
@@tootrue do you hate people or something?
“This could be on world’s biggest knobs episode”
English people: huehuehuehuehue
Don't google that at work
You mean “knobs” as in “balls”??
Massive props for the Crumb shoutout, they are a band I found by accident and they are insanely good, hooked from the first listen.
I had a gig once with another guitarist. We both had fuzz pedals; mine was the “Swollen Pickle”, his was the “Dirty Bomb”. Best church gig ever....
I mean, can we take a minute to just appreciate the song title “sea of hostility” - damn! 🤘
I know right? The title alone made me want to break stuff.
I think they just accidentally wrote a Norma Jean song.
The Teese Monkeys Fly Out Butt has been on my wishlist for a while.
I love that yellow wah with the foot pedal! So retro! Cool review, thank you!
Nice playing! 🤘💥🎸 (As usual)
I love the idiot box pedal names, more specifically, the “Han-Taun”
And don’t forget about the “Ron Swanson Super Fuzz”
Came here to say this; scrolled to see who shot first
Lovepedal “Bone Tender” !!!
The fact that there's no mention to any Fairfield Circuitry pedal name is outrageous. The Barbershop, Meet Maude, Randy's Revenge, Long Life EQ, Unpleasant Surprise, I mean...!
Great episode, as always, hit the like button, as always ;)
"He has the box!"
Josh, that stuff right there is gold! 🤣 Don't ever stop using it or the others 👍
My favorite: *Fuzz Aldrin*
My favourite name: Boss DS-1.
based
My favourite name, at least from my collection, is MXR Shin-Juku Drive - because it's a drive designed by this guy Shin Suzuki, but also Shinjuku is like a district in Tokyo, so it's like taking a drive through Shinjuku... I mean, it's maybe not the smartest joke, but the name has a nice ring to it and the pedal is a real nice drive/distortion too.
Every single song in this episode is an absolute jam holy moly
Throbak “stRange Master” treble booster!
Seymour Duncan “Vapor Trails” analog delay
Keeley “Darkside”
JHS “@“ overdrive
F-Pedals “PunQMonk” envelope filter
Lovepedal “Rubber Chicken” auto-wah
Keeley “Vibe-O-Verb” harmonic vibrato phaser...’VERB!
Beetronics “OverHive” OD distortion & “Royal Jelly” OD/fuzz
Keeley “Bubble Tron” dynamic flanger phaser
It would be great if you added "bass play" segment where we can hear how pedals sound through bass guitars
That would be great.
Regardless of topic, these videos have become must watch.
Discovered Crumb sometime last year and instantly fell in love with them. Definitely ones to look out for!
"It think we're gonna do a jam that capture the essence of a lunar funeral" Proceed to play upbeat funk.
Feels criminal that the big muff wasn’t mentioned
I never thought id get to see you guys play a breakdown but here we are @ 9:28
Im a happy man
The last jam was fantastic. Seriously fun to listen to. Across all of them Nick never overplays and slays steady time, Addison always knows exactly what classic bass approaches fit these historical jams and your showmanship is so uniquely Joshua Scott. The pinch harmonics today reminded me a bit of Rory Gallagher!
You forgot the Moog Moogerfooger MIDI MuRF.
that “TUNA” is best pedal ever
That was my first tuner pedal! Worked for a long time!
I have one that is in mint condition. That's because it never really works correctly...just lights up and tells you the wrong thing. Will be great to indoctrinate (haze) new band members though!
(cause he dont play guitar? 🤯)
These jams give my nightmares like you intended. Great video
Funny as always, the pedals are great, but the demo tunes with Nick's superb drumming and Josh's on-point riffing just reinforce my desire to someday be in the crowd for a full live show by them.
I used to have a Way Huge Swollen Pickle. But, you know, that's what happens, as you get older..
Somewhere in Russia:
“I know! Name ov pedal should be, ‘Handread percent ov the drive!’”
How about Phat Blyat?
@@stratcat688 WE HAVE A WINNER!!! lol
The last jam was on point. Well played kind sir.
Greetings from Chicago.
Keep Jamming!
Sounds great!
Boys - you’re gonna have to go a lot, & I mean A LOT of miles, to beat Thorypy’s ‘Muffroom Cloud’ and Stone Deaf’s ‘Kliptonite’ fuzz pedals for brilliant names. Start packing for the UK climate, dudes ...
I hear the best pedal name ever is the Monocle by Fuzzsimp Fx
Yes
You guys rocked today
That Spam-can made me want to do rehousing of the Danelectro food series in containers of the food it's named after.
That Charlie Stringer pedal wins for the most syllables. It’s like the Fiona Apple album title of pedal names.
That song for Philadelphia wasn't scum baggy enough. And I'm from Philly.
Im so glad you had crumb for record time Ive loved them so much for 2 years now so under appreciated
There are a whole lot of things I love about this show, but one of the things that stands out to me the most is Josh's versatility as a player. No matter the genre, he nails it, every time. Even Moon Metal. Never thought I'd hear an early '00s breakdown on this channel, but I sure did.
Maybe the best pedal names are the friends we made along the way
I miss the "turd fuzz" by Dr. No effects
😂
These jams are somehow getting better every damn time
I desperately need a Sitar Swami in my life. This is the 1st bizarre, unconventional, questionably usable pedal I've ever heard and thought "I absolutely must have it!" Thank you Josh for this demo!
The gonkulator better be on this list
Here's some bad ass pedals waiting to be invented. Add to the list!

I believe Danelectro robbed you of Surf and Turf.
Great drumming :)
Great jams! “Scumatic”-I love that.
"Trouble Booster" by Bigfoot Engineering
Anyone else feel slighted that we didn't get to hear the 100% drive at 100% drive?
The Crumb EP is really great. Excellent tip.
Haha! I have one of those Snarling Dogs. The Freq Sweep makes the pedal control the carrier pitch of the ring mod. Makes it easy to tune the ring mod to they key of the song your play. That way you get harmonic tones on the root, 4th, and 5th of the scale. Actually a decent sounding Wah too.
A “Luneral” if you will 😂
“Ditch the Guru” is a Beatles reference.
LOVE Nick's drum pattern on Dinner Bell Dreams!
Nothing better than watching a JHS episode on a sunday morning !!..............Lol !!............playing is awesome and the Humour is Notorious !
The trick is to cut the SPAM thick, pan fry it enough that the edges are crispy, slice of American cheese, on two pieces of the cheapest bread you can buy. Or, cube it up real small, scramble some eggs, make fried rice with them
I mean, agreed, but what? (Only a couple minutes into the video)
American cheese - ew.
With love / a european
@@tungtobak there are certainly better options. I would say, if you use a more quality cheese, stay in the more mild and buttery category. SPAM is essentially a very salty ham product (without getting very specific), so anything that's too salty or funky would likely not compliment that.
Anyone who doesn’t play guitar and I have mentioned “Wampler Tumnus” to 100% thinks I’m making something up
Duuuude, Crumb is so good. Started listening to them pretty recently 👌. Little note though: the record you have is their self titled EP from 2016.
'Locket' has an illustration of two blue hands on it.
thank you josh for opening my eyes at playing funk at a funeral
If " weeping demon" doesnt make the list...
I loved that wah
I still have mine! The only wah you'll ever need.
Damn cool name and design. Sounds great clean but kinda gets lost in the drive, regardless what drive and guitar I use. So kinda anticlimactic for a demon... I like it too much to get rid of it and not enough to actually use it.
Ive had many wahs before and after this, but nothing is as versitile.it can " mimic" 99.99% of other wahs, and signature model tweaks .I kinda wish ibanez made some other expression pedal units like this. A phaser would be dope, stage selection," trigger" mode, rise fall, "step", and have the pedal asignable to rate, depth, or mix... or even a volume pedal/ gate, as long as it had swell in AND out, and was as adjustable as the wah
Greatest names.... well. . maybe not the greatest.. but I do have a 🐓 Blocker pedal! It's supposed to go along with the 🐈 Melter...I think... hey... has anyone tried a 🐓 Blocker in front of a 🐈 Melter? You know you want to do this video suggestion... but can you?... will you?...I dare you Josh! lololol Rock on dudes! 😎🎸🐦
One of the coolest parts of a pedal is the branding, while names are great and a strong way to send a message, it seems that plenty of pedal makers forget about user experience. Name it (or not) whatever you wish, but put what the pedal and each know are suppose to do. I can’t imagine someone trying to remember what each knob does on their board, plus learn the songs they have to play and then deal with band members 😂😂😂
Great episode though, lots of creativity on these names and awesome tunes as usual.
Spam jam was awesome! the drums were brilliant :)
The bass player should be on camera.
@Regular Joseph no, y’all not watch the live streams? Addison sits off to the right (their left).
Is the bass player also the camera operator?
How in the hell Josh you didn't even mention any Steel Phanter pedals?
- Pussy Melter
- Butthole Burner
- Poontang Boomerang
That was the greatest pedal name ever.
What? are you a junior in high school?
My faves- DOD "Gonkulator"; Joe Gore's "DUH Remedial Fuzz"; Prescription Electronics' "Yardbox" fuzz.
Oh man! I so wanted that Snarling Dog wah when I was starting out.
