Josh..to me your channel, it’s content, and your approach has breathed life into the idea that there doesn’t always have to be winners and losers. There’s room for everyone to have role, and make money while being part of a supportive community. It really is something to marvel at. You and the team are beautiful, talented and generous people. A big thanks for this.
I think most of his shirts that have phrases make fun of the ones that make no sense. "earthy" isn't a sound term. You will never get a group of musicians to agree on an earthy tone, because there is no meaning or definition. But touch sensitive is a real term. The change in distortion between loud and soft playing. I could see "sound from USA" or "visual super product" on a shirt though.
@@jsullivan2112 different pedals having them in different places is a problem tho. Makes it hard to contort patch cables to string them together. Also top mount doesn't waste as much space cuz u can put the pedals right against eachother.
Top jacks are awful. The patch cables stick out in an annoying way and get in the way of the power input. They usually end up taking up more space that side jacks.
If they would have called it the "Fat Cat" in japan, our translation would have been called "Protective Cat of Good Luck and Fortune". Not gonna lie, that'd rival the "Hawaiian Pizza" pedal big for greatest name ever.
I can only hope that the joy of Japanese and Chinese translation to English goes the other way too. Because some of my biggest belly laughs of the last decade have legit been because of this.
What he doesn't tell you is that he buys a few hundred of them off eBay, than when the price skyrockets to astronomical proportions he sells them off :) In all seriousness though I'd love to see Josh do a comparison between this pedal, a rat and some of the clones like the session man with the chorus. ....and can I add Pretty Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!
JHS bro is definitely contributing to society and you are also a musician so you feel those god damn emotions and this pandemic fucking sucks, cant wait to get back to concerts thanks for being awesome!
Congrats . I sure wish I would have known before today that you were looking for one . Although , if you don't have the original box I would be more than happy to send you one. I've always had a thing for keeping the original product packaging for all my pedals , gear etc. Let me know where to send it and I'll hook you up. Thanks for always putting in great content and supporting all us fellow musicians.
I love how the thumbnail says "the most rare pedal ever in existence" and right next to this title Josh just rubs it in your face with that smirk, like "yeah I got that one too, who could have guessed". I adore you, pedal person.
lol not to mention it’s a version of one of his favorites. I love those so I’m a kid in a candy store. I can only HOPE I could feel his joy playing that pedal in my own personal life! 🤣
I thought he was gonna reveal that J.H.S. was gonna release their own version... Since Fat Rat and Fat Cat are taken already, how bout the "Chubby Bat"? "Fat Gnat"?
@disthymia It's am Ibanez Fat Cat with another name. They go for $150-ish. There is however a bass version called the Bass Stack that is way rarer and go for $500-600.
You had me at “dual op-amp”. I’m yours forever after you say, “it’s a hard clipper”. Then, you go and stone cold break my heart letting “mystery” come between us. 😭
M.Ward is amazing! Post War and Transistor Radio are fantastic. He is also a member of Monsters of Folk with Jim James and Conor Oberst. He’s a top 10 artist for me, and Migration stories is great. His newest album covers Lady in Satin by Billy Holiday. Guys, he’s really so good. Folky, spacey, surfy rock.
That pedal was a myth for years until it became clear it really existed among the 10-series lovers and collectors.;) I'm still loving and using my Ibanez power-series pedals and they all still work to this day. On my boards are still the MS10 and the great DDL20. Great video and it is always amazing to see a kindred soul in regarding my love for Ibanez and Boss pedals. Keep them coming, buddy!
The most important components are his drumming, great mic placement of adequate mics, and great tuning. A couple 57’s and a couple condensers will do the trick. Try the glyn johns 4 mic technique. It’s not as complicated as some will make it out to be.
Josh, you are the best. I love your videos and seeing you play warms my heart. I've been playing bass and guitar for over 30 years and feel I still have that passion from when I was a teenager. Don't ever stop what you're doing!!!
How is this just the best chanel youtoube could ever bring out.? Josh... your pedals are amazing, your vids are wonderful and you‘re an awesome guy. Just go on. You‘re one of those who makes my day every day you release a video. Hope you know I appreciate

Fabulous episode, Josh! The fun bits were very entertaining, and the pedal, playing and overall demonstration were first class. I absolutely loved the sound of the pedal, and your slide tone was deffo the best ever this week.
This has to be one of the tastiest pedals ever. I genuinely have been salivating just listening to the sonics of the overdrive this magic box has produced
@@jimthecraftyguitarist878 It's funny, I always get closer to Foo tones with a MIAB vs my RAT, but apparently Grohl uses a RAT when he uses anything. Mostly, it's him into an AC30 or a Mesa, which is probably why a Plexi works so well.
Great show again, thank you! Did you know after five minutes we get a commercial break? Five minutes. And thank you for the record time tip. Didn’t know the great M. Ward had made this album.
Congratulations on completing your collection! For my fellow nerds out there, I feel like I should mention that the EQ knob would actually be a low-pass filter if it allows full brightness when turned all the way up and gets darker as you turn it down. It could be a more complex tone circuit with different levels of attenuation and boost throughout the travel of the knob, but in general that would be a low-pass filter. Anyway, sorry to nitpick. I love your videos, and I'm so happy that you were given such a generous gift!
You’re so welcome brotha, thanks for all the kindness over the years!! 🙂

How has “touch sensitive” not made it on a shirt?
Make it Chad!
I think most of his shirts that have phrases make fun of the ones that make no sense. "earthy" isn't a sound term. You will never get a group of musicians to agree on an earthy tone, because there is no meaning or definition.
But touch sensitive is a real term. The change in distortion between loud and soft playing.
I could see "sound from USA" or "visual super product" on a shirt though.
I will! But first, “sits well in the mix”.
Aren't we all touch sensitive? Yeah, second that.
We might need that to protest the Chinese "anal Schwab".
So when are we getting a clone of the worlds rarest pedal? Only seems like the right thing to do.
My thoughts exactly. The Ra(re)t.
It's a rat. There are a million clones
He's gonna sell the visual super product for $500,000 on reverb
Already got one, 3 Series Distortion
I heard ProCo did a clone of it
Best part of those 80s Ibanez pedals is that they put the jacks at the top WHERE THEY BELONG
Unlike JHS who put them just any ole where they please😂 Makes the Red Remote jack a pain to get to
@@jsullivan2112 different pedals having them in different places is a problem tho. Makes it hard to contort patch cables to string them together. Also top mount doesn't waste as much space cuz u can put the pedals right against eachother.

If they would have called it the "Fat Cat" in japan, our translation would have been called "Protective Cat of Good Luck and Fortune". Not gonna lie, that'd rival the "Hawaiian Pizza" pedal big for greatest name ever.
Wouldn't it be the other way? The true meaning being the overly long name vs the traduction being the easy name?
I had an fat cat pedal in the late 90's that caught on fire mid band pratice.
I can only hope that the joy of Japanese and Chinese translation to English goes the other way too. Because some of my biggest belly laughs of the last decade have legit been because of this.

When Josh meets his end, nations will go to war over that pedal collection. After all, he has the box.
I could never have imagined that a UA-cam channel about guitar pedals could be so entertaining. You guys are my new favorite thing.

I actually laughed out loud at the non reveal of the circuit. My family looked at me like, "dad's acting weird again...". Good stuff again.
I love that delay. I read an article that mentioned that it was a gem. One came available on Craigslist so I grabbed it. It is a great simple delay.
I love how the thumbnail says "the most rare pedal ever in existence" and right next to this title Josh just rubs it in your face with that smirk, like "yeah I got that one too, who could have guessed". I adore you, pedal person.
Ibanez Bi-Mode Chorus was phenomenal. I'm so sorry that I sold mine. Snouse black box 2 is an awesome sounding pedal.
Wonderful video-it makes me happy that not only do you create great videos but your product is fabulous. I do love my panther cub.
Seems like an extra joy in the jams as Josh gets to rip on a pedal he's wanted forever. Loved it.

This video is phenomenal. Everything about it. Genius production.

That might be the best tone I've ever heard on this channel. I was not expecting that at all.
If you release this circuit from JHS you have to call it “the Snouse” 👍🏻

"like a hi-pass filter"

Well if it lets you get full highs or roll them off it's a low pass
@@НикитаДородный hello fellow engineer
@@НикитаДородный THANK YOU! Exactly ... rolling off highs = lowpass filter
Ok Josh.... this was my favorite video you have ever done. BRAVO!!!!!!!
When josh was trying to guess what the pedal does, it was like when Homer found the “Mr Sparkle box”
“There’s your answer, fish-bulb.”

Thanks - you guys are great!
Haha, I was shouting “it’s a RAT” at the screen at the point where Josh opened up the pedal.
Ditto, I knew it the second he said "hard clipping " , it's not a dist +, what else is it?
What’s the other pedal at 15:40? I’m guessing it’s a rat mixed with that.
@@camelface1 that’s the fat cat? I think?

I'm just over here trying to figure out how your drum sound is so good
I know right? It really molted with rest, especially in the first clip.
Seems highly compressed. I know they use the colour box pedal but not sure on which mics. And it's not a secret that he plays a great drum kit
Yes, can we have a drum rundown please? PLEASE?
The most important components are his drumming, great mic placement of adequate mics, and great tuning. A couple 57’s and a couple condensers will do the trick. Try the glyn johns 4 mic technique. It’s not as complicated as some will make it out to be.

This is the best channel on youtube AND it's about pedals.
If the EQ controls how much high frequency gets thru, that makes it a low pass filter, not high pass as mentioned.
No? A high pass filter let’s highs pass. A low pass filter lets lows pass.
@@FreaquedeMusique Hoover72 is correct, if it cuts off the higher frequencies (and fully lets the lower ones), it's a low-pass filter.
