- Today I delve into the world of modern modulation pedals. There are so many amazing modulation effects out there that do everything from classic sounds to previously unheard-in-this-world sounds. I show you some of my favorites and my favorite settings on them. In the comments below, tell me your favorite pedal from today and something I may have missed that you love! Also, let me know what you think about "Good At Falling" and tell me about a record that you think uses modulation in a really creative way.

Hey everyone! Please check out the full description for info on the gear in this episode, the white JHS amp, Josh's guitar and strap and links to gear and the record in Record Time. Thanks for watching!
No love for ada flangers 😢.
When are you gonna make a flanger?
At 11:38 - That riff reminds me of Dear Prudence.
Josh, ever think about doing a video of your go-to pedal board? With the huge collection of pedals you have, I'd be interested to know which ones you use on the regular.
Does jhs have a sponsored or company cycling team? Because if not, can I start a totally unauthorized one?
@@wraith1977 Yes This Please!
When he said we don’t want 30 min episodes that hit me.
I’d joyfully watch a full length feature film every Thursday
Also known as "That Pedal Show". :)
Agreed!
Man, if we had that, TPS, and then the Chasing Tone and/or Tone Mob podcasts, it'd be nonstop gear all week.
Anyone who is married or in a long-term relationship, tell me this doesn't sound wonderful. Our parents had their sheds and sewing machines (yes, yes I know - "stereotypes are terrible!" Blah blah get over yourselves, you know who you are) to keep themselves sane and have a bit of personal space, we have the online gearhead community and endless content.
Although we are supposed to be *musicians* as well...
Kyle Patterson a good chunk of those episodes are them babbling on and on, Andy gets to the point quicker
I SO wholeheartedly agree with this!!! This is my Goldilocks gear channel!!! Never boring, not too over the top, the demos are great and never too long. Josh is super knowledgeable yet humble about it; great sense of humor, too. Sarcasm and self-deprecation are the key to my heart! (I grew up watching Conan.) I would definitely watch a 30 min vid every week. Outtakes and bloopers would be excellent, too!
But what if we DO want 30 min episodes?! Please?
I'm with the moose.
I also would enjoy 30 minute episodes.
If That Pedal Show can have ninety-minute episodes, JHS can definitely go over thirty (though it would be a lot more work, as these are more heavily scripted and edited).
@@xdoctorblindx Nah, Josh is just a natural ))
I'd like a couple to be 30 minutes but not every single video has to be 30 minutes
Josh is awesome. He is sort of a Mr. Rogers of guitar pedals. I mean that in the most positive way. 🤘
A grown man dancing with a guitar playing Sweet Home Alabama while wearing a Alpe d'Huez shirt is Transparency Incarnate. My utmost respect to you, Sir! Great video also...
Who the F says we don't want 30 minute episodes!!!!????????
SHOW YOURSELVES!!!!
It wasn’t Me!
Can we get Josh some type of award for this series? It's become apart of my weekly routine - thanks Josh and JHS!
Today is Tubescreamer day! It's 8.08
Oh that's so perfect. I received my TS mini today in the mail!
@@ChaitanyaBhagwatChai Happy New pedal day!
Congrats
Roland TR-808
@@Amptender and they released headphones
I DO WANT 30 MIN EPISODES!!! Even 45...You're such a good entertainer and storyteller. Combined with your knowledge I can watch your show for hours. Perhaps a Sovtek special? ;-) That can't be under three quarters of an hour...
I third that notion
I think he's waiting on Half Life 3 to come out before releasing the Sovtek MIG episode.
I am not a keyboard player by any means but I have always been interested in how modern keyboard players use modern effects. I’d be interested in a show on pedals that go well with keyboards.
Make videos 30 min again!
Keep me busy while I’m at work!
You're fired! Hahahahaha!
I second this. Though I watch them at home with huge speakers.
I’m totally loving longer JHS videos. I vote yessireee
Seconded
I head that and was like, "who doesn't want to hear Josh talking for 30 minutes about pedals!?!"
Phase 90 is one of those. Especially at "subtle" settings - totally astonished by this one-knob piece of gear from 70s. It just brings "THAT" detail to the sound. Amazing.
Could you guys do a video on the technicals of pedals, that would explain how the capacitors and resistors effect the sound of the pedal in different circuits.
Wampler did it on their channel I'm pretty sure. Also I think diyguitarpedals have some good resources on that topic on their channel.
That's really a basic course in electrical engineering... And everything gets more complicated when you start comparing digital and analog pedals :0
you might want to check out Uncle Doug. He is really all about vintage tube amps, but he has a lot of interesting general info on circuits/components. ua-cam.com/video/l-u8J-yh9ZA/v-deo.html
I think this is a great idea considering JHS makes so entertaining videos
Brian Wampler of Wampler Pedals has some really informative videos on circuits that you might find worth your while. Every time he pulls out the breadbox my inner nerd gets terribly excited.
Me: ‘stays up all night watching JHS videos’
JHS the next day: “Yo here ya go”
Can’t wait to watch this after work! My favorite guitar video series
“I’m not that tall ... yet.” That’s what we in the corporate world call “growth mindset.” Well played.
Your love of pedals is = to my love of pedals and my love for this channel
80’s era King Crimson with Adrian Belew. Guitar/Effects wizard, 20 years ahead of his time.
That album is incredible, thank you so much
Great episodes... This one wasnt my favorite but still love a new jhs Josh ep. Would love to see you and yer drummer jammmmm!
There is just nothing better than JHS videos!!!!
How about doing some moog pedals review? There is a ton of stuff there with moogerfoogers and 104m delay beeing one of the best. ever. My humble opinion.
2nd you there mate
Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water K-Field Modulator. Favorite mod pedal. Similar results can be had from line 6 tape eater or warble-matic effects.
Man I really love your videos, no matter if I’m having a good or bad day these videos always put me in a good calm mood no matter what. Keep up the great videos and amazing pedals!
That Old Blood Noise Endevours absolutely blew me away! What a phenomenal sound!
Love her new record!! Thanks for introducing her to me. The latest Foals album has some awesome modulation on that.
Favorite pedal was Joels "Warped Vinyl" .WOW! I'm impressed ... love the warp knob.
One of my favorite episodes. I love modulation. I like the warped vinyl but all those dip switches makes for a complicated time. I would like one with a little screen doing a personal light show, so inspiring.
"whatch them all, over and over" That has become my life, thanks Josh..
Finally some Death By Audio love!
The guitar is ultra cool! Love the dark wood neck and body color! Keep rockin' the spectacular videos, Josh!
I dig the Boss MO-2! Thanks for reminding me that Boss makes great stuff. Boss is boss!
Brand new The Japanese House fan here, because of this video Josh. She's incredible
I'm a big time univibe/chorus/ vibrato junkie and recently got the Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl HiFi in a trade. I'm completely in love with that pedal! It's my first Chase Bliss pedal and I definitely need to check more of them out.
I really like the way you explain things more slowly. Even though I'm Brazilian and my English is very beginner, I can understant almost everything you say. Thanks.
I wasn't feeling it so much this episode until the BOSS with the arpeggios - that was beautiful.
"The Seven" by Primus is just dripping with cool modulation effects! That and Disintegration by the Cure! That one launched my obsession for Chorus.
My favorite modulation pedal is The “Julia” By Walrus Audio.
The chorus on it is really lush and nice and the vibrato is really good. Also love the Echo Dream because of how Wonderful and strange it is to me.
Both are great pedals.
I for one would love 30 min episodes. I live for these vids they are amazing
Would love an episode on pedals where you can use multiple types of modulation simultaneously (e.g., Amptweaker Swirlpool, Crazy Tube Circuits Stoned Hz, Red Witch Medusa
, etc.). Thanks as always for a great episode!
The magic switch on the Rainbow Machine sounds like something out of The Dark Crystal. Love it.
A record that really delights me with its modern modulation approach is "La Di Da Di" by Battles.
Also, I recommend everything Battles.
A strat!!! YEEEEEEEEAH!!!! The best notification of UA-cam is the new episode of JHS Pedals Vlog.
Love my Strymon Flint on the '61 Harmonic Tremolo setting. Album: Adrian Belew's "Twang Bar King". In an interview, Belew described his modulation effects as "an embarrassing array of electronic weaponry" which I still find inspirational.
I love these episodes I've never seen the atmosphere pedal but I know I need it asap
I love the Walrus Audio Julia. Does great going from chorus all the way to vibrato. Also have a '90s Danelectro Cool Cat 18v that I still love for some reason.
The Boss multi overtone sounds amazing. And the first riff for that demo is Josh's best yet.
My new favorite wild modulation pedal is the Old Blood Noise “Excess.” I love that it has distortion and a parallel signal chain. The harmonizing delay is so so much fun especially when you blend in just a little dirt. The chorus mode is classic sounding and nice and I like running it very mildly with crushing gain into it from the dirt side. Just a lovely whacky pedal.
I love how this guy knows exactly what to play to bring out the best in every setting of these pedals.
Robert did a great job with the SuperMod. The rotary function and harmonic-trem are my favorite! 👍🏻
The Rainbow Machine is all over an album called 'Mirror Might Steal Your Charm' by The Garden. Whacked out modulation sounds indeed!
About time the Boss MO-2 got some love. That's one of their best modern pedals and it has stayed on my board for awhile.
Stadium Arcadium had some of my favorite modulations! I was telling my brother today that it's funny that I can't figure out what they are in recordings, but when I hear them live I can tell exactly what it is!
As always, great vids! Keep it up! One of these days I’ll get me a JHS pedal.
That MO-2 sounds great! I've never heard about it before
I need that Chase Bliss warped vinyl sounds like it would perfectly correct my faulty playing !
Good At Falling is my album of the year so far. I've listened to it almost every day.
Love the MO-2, totally a secret that no one seems to know about. I use it on a subtle setting almost as an always-on pedal.
Sounds the best to me... Way more useful than the other introduced pedals on this vid. But Bedroom Players won't agree.
I had never heard of The Japanese House. Now thanks to you, The Japanese House is playing on *repeat* in my car, I bought the vinyl, and tickets for myself and my wife to see the show in Atlanta. Truly angelic music, in a similar (yet unique) way that School of Seven Bells is. Thanks for the tip!
The Somersault is such an amazing pedal. It really is my favorite chorus pedal I have ever played.
Instant Queen ”Get down make love” sounds from the Rainbow Machine! Awesome! ❤️🇸🇪
Great video Josh
Favorite Modulation: Tame impala
Also been super into Japanese house since you introduced them to me. Bought tickets today to see her!
Hey, I'm surprised Fairfield Circuitry's Shallow Water didn't at least get an honorable (sic) mention. Also, given that you hung around the ring mod end of the spectrum with the DBA pedal, maybe their (FC's) Randy's Revenge should've made the cut too/instead.
Anyway, I was distracted by your Alpe d'Huez tee-shirt throughout, as Marco Pantani's and Claudio Chiappucci's lone breakaway victories on that stage remain the two greatest sporting moments I've witnessed in this lifetime (drug cheats or not).
Oh, and thanks for making me have to buy that Matthews pedal which literally has my name on it. As if the Fulltone one wasn't enough!
Ulric von Catalyst I don’t think he’s ever mentioned Fairfield Circuitry and it kinda bugs me because everything they make is top notch but I don’t feel like he’s purposely not mentioning them. Hopefully someone can put some FC pedals in his hand!
I really enjoy All of Your Pedal Videos..!
Warped vinyl is insane, it evoked an old memory for me which is insane.
This is a band that you wouldn’t expect modulation from much, but one of my favorite songs involving mod is on MxPx’s ‘Chop Shop’. I remember reading an interview where Tom said he turned his chorus all the way up and added distortion and some crazy things happened. It sounds super neat, and most of what he is doing there is just from the feedback. It sounds like a police siren it is a cool effect that is different for them. When it first came out I thought it was the most amazing thing.
for the record, I and everyone I know would love thirty minute episodes!!!!!! i like the EHX pitch fork on the detune setting. its sounds amazing as a really light chorus effect. ive been using the deadbeat modulationstation lately after the episode you did on how you record a song. i bought the whole series haha
Favourite modulation albums: Rush - any of the „A Show of Hands“ era records, primarily Grace under Pressure. Recreating Alex Lifeson‘s „chorus witout the swoosh / warble / LFO set to 0“ has eluded (and vexed) me to this very day... Fave modulation device: TC Electronic 1210, or the 8 voice from the original Intellifex. Sooooo lush...
As for the pedals in the bid: DynoMyRoto. No contest. Most fun you can have with your pants on 🤩.
This is an older episode, but I wanted to comment, I will completely watch a 30 minute episode. Also, that boss sounded freaking awesome.
I have a vortex flanger by tc electronic and with my band, i sometime just turn the knob of the pedal to make inredible sound without even playing..I like the sound of the rainbow machine and you didn't talk about banana effects that seems to be great! I really enjoy your episodes!
Rush’s “Signals” album is my favorite modulation album. Lots of great chorus on the guitars and synths.
Favorite pedal from this video, definitely the Warped Vinyl.
My favorite modulation pedal of all time.. which never ever leaves my board for any reason... is the Moog ClusterFlux. That thing is just insane. It does chorus, flange, vibrato, and will even get down into this crazy noisy glitchy delay territory if you use the MIDI in to set the speed super low. It has a ton of control voltage options to use with expression pedals or integrate into a modular synth setup, a pretty expansive set of waveforms for the LFO, will sync with MIDI clock and the speed knob becomes a subdivision control, tap tempo... Seriously badass pedal.
love the reflector chorus!!
Great channel! Cheers from Brazil!
Love these videos! The rainbow thing was sick!!!
Josh. These pedals are not my style, but I would watch 2 hour episodes. Screw the haters!
Dude, I think it's WAY kewl that you review pedals *OTHER THAN* your own. What businessman *DOES* that??? Mega-Props!
I'm pretty old school, my favorite modulation pedals are my '75 MXR Phase 90, my '80s ElectroHarmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress flanger, my 2000's Dunlop UniVibe, and my Boss CH-1 Super Chorus. Honorable mention goes out to my 2000's Alesis Nanoverb - which has the 'chewiest' chorus I've ever heard - but I mainly use it for delay in the effects loop of my amp.
Thanks for all your informative posts - much appreciated!
boss Overtone was a bit of a revelation! really like that!
I’ve always suspected that the band Live used phaser and chorus on the clean guitar sound on ‘Lightning Crashes”. There aren’t a lot of uses for using multiple modulation sounds at once but on that song it worked.
Great choices! I'm currently loving my Cooper fx Generation Loss as well.
I've been writing so many songs with the BOSS MO2 I cant believe this pedal isnt more popular than it is, but it fits in very well with my writing style and the way my band plays. I'm actually unbelievably excited for our upcoming EP and I dont think I would be as happy about the music had it not been for this pedal
i love that DBA pedal. i use it so much playing live.
The Somersault is a beautiful sounding pedal. My fav of your selections...
Andy Dunlop's guitar on "Writing to Reach You" is beautiful. You can hear it revving up during the intro as Fran counts them in.
Ever heard of The DEP-16 Stereo Processor by Peavey? This pedal have a selection of 16 ranges, regeneration, depth & speed that allow you to create a variety of effect : Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Delay, Vibrato, Reverb, Ring, Ramping, Warble and things beyond crazy stuff. It's a vintage pedal with a futuristic vision. I have four pedal of this series and they are all amazing but this one is phenomenal. Josh, if you have this pedal on your shelf, give you some joy and play with it!!
Your nerdy geekery is mesmerizing. You make great vids.
What a cool record mate...
love it.
Watched this a bit late. Thanks Josh for all the videos that you do. I learn something every time. This time I discovered that nothing that I heard interested me in the slightest. That's not a bad thing at all, it saves me time and saves annoying staff when I want to try out a pedal in a music store. Thanks again!
Not sure if the Miku is considered a modulation pedal, but it is my favourite weirdity. Sadly too expensive to own now.
Thanks for the Heads-up on the Dr. Scientist Cosmichorus.👍🏽
I know you've done a video on cheap overdrives but, I really would like you to do a video on ELITE overdrive pedals. Klon and Dumble style pedals and "transparent" overdrives. Just the best of the best!
I recently found a used v1 emperor at a guitar center and I absolutely love it. I’ve never heard a better chorus with my setup
I've been listening to the Japanese House constantly since watching your other video. Good recommendation.
The MO2 has been part of my set up for a while now. Started out trying to get fake organ sounds with it, but I've definitely come to love that middle mode in particular. Mode 3 actually works with a looper for bass lines too.
Currently own 2 of the 3 multi-dimensional boss pedals, having sold the third when I owned it last year.
Dear Josh
You are absolutely crazy.
Love you!
💣 ⚡🧡
Wow, that Somersault pedal was the first one in the video that made me say "yes, I could absolutely make a place for that on my board". That thing sounds great and so usable.
Dude! That Bob Ross hair is rocking. Do you also speak in soothing tones?
@@therealjamespickering at every opportunity!
Hey Josh - great vid (as usual) - I also LOVE modulation pedals - My first was an original Small Stone (still works!) and have built from there. I loved the Boss pedal you played! Don't know if its not "new" enuf, but the EHX Stereo Electric Mistress lets you easily blend chorus and flange - I love the sound. Also, you should check out (if you haven't yet) the Spira from Korora Audio - its based on the "Shepherd Tone" an audio illusion akin to a spinning barber pole - the modulation keeps rising (or descending - footswitchable) seemingly infinitely rather than sweeping up and down like "old-school" modulators! Its a real kick! Thanks again for another vid!
Dang man, when you got to the honorable mentions I was really expecting the Ibanez PM7. You have all those toneloks behind your head haha. That's been the only modulation pedal that has survived me selling stuff off time and time again. I've had it 15 years, still going strong and still on my board.
I own the Keeley Dyno My Roto and use all 3 modes on a regular basis. Rotoflange is definitely the sleeper because you can't appreciate it without hearing. My favorite setting: Rotoflange with Rate at 9 o'clock, Depth at 12 o'clock, Texture at 1 o'clock, and Level at 11 o'clock combined with BK Butler Tube Driver. It gets very close to David Gilmour's Electric Mistress tones from "Animals" and "The Wall".
It would be awesome if you could do a bass centric video! I love your pedals and would love your take on some of these for bass. I use the colour box currently and it sounds awesome.
Record with great modulation: Steely Dan's Aja (which I thought you'd talk about....) - the dimed MXR Flanger on the Peg intro is iconic beyond words
a few more:
'Animals' by Floyd.
'Secret Messages' and 'TIME' by ELO.
