Josh Scott's Klon sucks
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 вер 2022
- The JHS 3 Series Octave Reverb and Harmonic Tremolo are better than Josh Scott's $500,000 Klon Centaur and I'm going to prove it by traveling to JHS Headquarters in Kansas City, MO. Join me and Russ on our road trip halfway across the country to see what happens over at @jhspedals
The real $500,000 pedal was the friends we made along the way.
If you click these links and get the 3-Series pedals from zZounds, I'll get a small percent!

Emily, Russ, you all made these pedals sounds so good. Thank you!
Also, please come back.
or
maybe...
maybe we'll come to you...
😲💯(epic)
Road trip!
One road trip deserves another.
You should stay at Kansas, An Animè version of The Wizard of Oz wouldn’t be bad. You and the JHS’s band doing the soundtrack. And Yoko Kanno 😮😊❤
I think it is the best shimmer /reverb I've ever heard. Well done!
“The real $500,000 pedal was the friends we made along the way”
iconic
♥️
This was genuinely touching. So much stuff on UA-cam is just weird, snarky, &/or mean - & this was just nice. A couple of Long Island kids going away to pedal camp. Nice. Happy - except when Emily cries at the end.
HAHAH "pedal camp"!! I love it! thank you so much for watching and for being here with us 🥰❤️
The trick is to force the algorithm to hide the mean. Haven’t had to see negativity on here in while! 🙏
Lonng Gisland!!!
pedal camp is a thing id sign up for pretty fast
Pedal camp is an amazing idea! I’d sign up in a heartbeat
Emily violently tripping on the stairs had me dying lol
LMAOOO those boots are a DEATH TRAP but they're too cute to get rid of 🥺❤️
@@emilyharpist it's also the stairs. someone trips up those stairs every damn day.
Yea, I have to admit, I burst out...
To be honest, I did replay that part a few times myself. Hope it didn't hurt, though!
Same👀😅
1. Totally taking the Klon off my Christmas list now.
2. Best Record Time ever.
3. That was a real emotional rollercoaster.
LMAOOO it really was quite a journey ❤️😂 thanks for being here with us for the ride!!!
As an emotionless robot of a human, that ending tugged on my heart strings.
🥺❤️ lmao thankfully Russ only captured the first bit on camera as soon as we left but I was genuinely a big disgusting MESS
@@emilyharpist 😭😭😭😭
You are both so wonderful, give me hope for humanity
@@roryjineffect no u 🥺 thanks so much for being here with us today ❤
@@emilyharpist I am in for the ride with this channel.
OH! RANDOM THOUGHT! Find Melora Creager of Rasputina and collaborate! She is becoming active musically again.
emotionless robot would probably sound really good after being sent through a few nice effects 😉
Hearing Emily call Josh’s #2 Klon a “piece of shit” is the reason I subscribed. Btw, I play hurdy gurdy and you inspire me to try other effects with it and explore what it’s capable of.
I have always wondered what could be done with a hurdy gurdy with pedals.
@@willflint5014 check out a French artist named Gregory Jolivet! He plays an amazing electro-acoustic instrument through loopers and delays and all sorts.
@@GoingBrogue I will be sure to check them out! Thanks!
Geologist from Animal Collective has also been doing stuff with his hurdy gurdy and pedals/modular synths lately too if you haven't heard. Sounds so cool
@@TheSecretProvider hurdy gurdy and modular. 🎉🎉🎉
Being in a totally creative, non judgemental environment surrounded by toys, tools and amazing people is something most people NEVER get to experience. So it's understandable to see the emotion of it all when it comes to an end
I still miss them so much 🥺❤️
Truth. such mpoments can be fewer and farther between as life moves forward. Cherish them and be fully present for them.
There is so much wonderful content in your videos that I sometimes forget how freaking good you are on harp. It sounds so lush and you play so well! Keep on rocking, Emily!
thank you so much, Loren!! 🥺❤️ I really appreciate your kind words! thanks for being here with us today 🥰
I could legit watch a 2 hour long documentary of you guys. You're so lucky to be living a life around your music!
Thanks so much, Andrew! I really appreciate you 🥰❤️🎶
You crying in the end makes me send you a virtual hug
*HUGS* 🥺❤️
I would never laugh at Emily falling down the stairs, but falling UP the stairs,... yep.
LMAOOO IT'S THESE DAMN BOOTS 😂❤️
@@emilyharpist I always trip on stuff after sitting in a car for nearly 20 hours! And honestly, doesn't it seem like it takes 10 hours to drive across Pennsylvania?
@@grandudetonesnob7107 HAHAHA IT REALLY DOES
I did a cross Pennsylvania trip at 13 in one of those massive vans full of teenagers - for a National Karate Tournament
It was the longest part, and def the worst
Ohio was a close second tho
@@EclipseAtDusk oh my, that driver has my sympathy!
The edge of guitar/harp entertainment... Thanks Nick, JHS Staff, Emily and Rhett Shull.
hahah thank YOU 🥰❤️
Emily I think you are the realist, coolest person to ever exist and your sense of humor is adorable. I wish I had a friend like you, I think anyone who knows should be lucky to. Thank you for you.
okay you *officially* made my day today. 😭❤️ thank you so much for the kind words, I can't even properly express how much that means to me 🥺
aw it's made my day that I've made your day. keep being you we love you!
Those are really lovely-sounding shimmer reverb and harmonic trem pedals! Now we just need that budget bit crusher from JHS!
I KNOW RIGHT?!? fingers crossed 😂❤️
I'm not a musician or even an audiophile or anything... but I still feel sum jelly when I see you guys come together to make cool music in a room full of cool music stuff.
I ain't religious neither, but you were blessed by SOME cosmic being.
The Shimmer reverb is a perfect complement to your harp. Beautiful, thank you!
"what a lame piece of $%&#" I almost spill my tea!!! hhahaha XD, thanks for just being yourself
hahah YOU KNOW I GOTTA SAY MY TRUTH 😂❤️ thanks for being here with us today, Peter!!
I'm glad that you've found a portable record player that's just as high quality as a $500,000 reverb pedal.
LMAOOO thank you for making me laugh today 😂❤️
You guys are so beautiful in every way. I love it. Also, that Eventide stream was SOOOO GOOOD!!! I can't wait for you guys to explore more of their line, especially Space (has everything Blackhole has and much much more) and maybe Time Factor/Mod Factor. Thank you for being you!!!
thank you so much for your kind words, Charles, and thanks for being here with us today!! I'm SO glad you enjoyed the Eventide stream (we're working on videos for those pedals too because Blackhole is just GORGEOUS on harp) and I'll check out the Time Factor/Mod Factor as well! 🥰❤️
That was a sweet, enjoyable video. A road trip to meet pedal friends. I would have loved for this to be longer. NB: I love that there is always a “when the cat is away, the mice will play “ vibe to the videos without Josh.
hahah I know right?! although I would have LOVED to meet Josh!! (there's always NEXT trip!) ❤️😂 we have a 28 minute video supercut of all the best behind-the-scenes action at JHS on my Patreon in case you're interested in seeing more of the silly stuff!! 🥰
You guys always make me smile. Thank you.
This is why I subscribed. Real people. You two are fun to hang out with on UA-cam and I get great (and financially draining) pedal recommendations. And yeah, you are extremely talented also. If you were playing live near me I would get VIP tickets.
omg Jim your comment just made my day 🥺❤️ I really, really appreciate that, and I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel!! If I was playing live near you I would totally let you play a song on the harp during one bit of the show 👏😂
I really love your vids.I play guitar and I'm always looking to your feed for pedal ideas.And your music...don't get me started!!!!Great stuff...thank you!!😊
This is a wonderful video. It’s peak Em and Russ with a side order of JHS craziness.
HAHAH just the way we like it!! 😂❤️
@@emilyharpist absolutely 100.
The final reaction to the Klon….. 😂 priceless….. you can’t klone that kind of truth.
#WiseWords ❤️😂
Greetings from Ohio! We have nice stuff, it's all very easy to miss, or hard to find and in some cases we dont have it. JHS looks like such a fun place. I hope this channel brings you more great people and places to visit so we can come along and have fun. Thank you all JHS crew. Love it as always CHEERS!!!
I love JHS, so cool to see you guys partnering up. I own most of their budget line. So good to see you collab with them.
I love JHS too!! 🥰❤️ I can't wait to go back and visit them again, we had such a fun time!!
@@emilyharpist Can you do the Pulp and Peel ?
I live in Kansas City and have met the JHS crew many times and they are as funny,kind and nerdy as they seem. On behalf of everyone in KC, we'd love it if you moved here!
I had to watch this a couple times, and I appreciate you feeling open enough to share how you felt. I also want to stay there! But only to be a fly on the wall. Looks like it was the best time.
my only complaint is i wish this video was longer
Another great video. And I have tripped up stairs many times. You were able to do it without a cavalcade of obscenities like I normally make, so good on ya.
KC is rad! Lived here my whole life lol I’m glad you enjoyed your visit!
Your playing cuts deep into my soul! It’s so emotional. Thanks for always sharing your amazing soul through your amazing music🥲🙏🏽
You should stay at Kansas, An Animè version of The Wizard of Oz wouldn’t be bad. You and the JHS’s band doing the soundtrack. And Yoko Kanno 😮😊❤
hahah I WISH I could live in Kansas!!! 🥰❤️
@@emilyharpist Josh’s Scott story with yours in an Animé version of the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy, I think we’re at Kansas! Their band, you 🙏🏽 … 🙂
@@emilyharpist I think the Klone’s amazing. Someday I’ll buy it from them 🙂
@@emilyharpist God bless greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
This is the best combination, the best collaboration. Thanks for doing it and keep it up!!
LOVED this episode! I didn't dive into the JHS channel until after I'd discovered you folks, so it's very cool to see those two worlds collide in such an entertaining way - from your perspective.
I also may need to ratchet up my "it's gotta be under $50, ideally under $20" threshold for pedal wallet damage, because I really liked both of those JHS pedals and reverb and tremolo are by far my two favorite effects. I have been able to find a few in each category that fit my extreme frugality and sound good to me, but I'd really love to hear what the extra outlay of cash can get me, especially in the reverb category.
As for the Klon, I think at this point it's become ridiculous, with many people convinced that because it's become insanely pricey it's gotta be great. I don't hear it. There's so little difference to my ears between the bazillions of distortion pedals... I mean, couldn't an EQ make any one of 'em sound like any other? I dunno... I like a little crunch as much as anyone else, but I'm never going to need what the market seems to care most about, which is a relentless onslaught of these things. Maybe when "classic rock" finally goes away and people my age finally give up on trying to sound like Jimi or Eddie or Yngvie or (insert hair band guitarist name here) we'll see other pedal categories begin to even things out a bit. There's more to guitar playing than imitating Led Zeppelin! There really is!
Random recommendation: John Fahey. Huge influence for me, very weird but important acoustic guitarist. Some of the music y'all make reminds me of his stuff a little.
Thanks for doing what you do, and sorry for the walls of text!
That bit where you explain the different feel to the different arpeggios. Brilliant! more please…
thank you so much, Margaret!! 🥰
So good to see your adventures at JHS. Love those new 3 series!
thank you so much!! 🥰🎶 I had an amazing time visiting everyone, and I can't wait to go back!!
Okay I didn't think I was going to get emotional at the end, but I totally did. FRIENDSHIP for the win. EmRuss and JHS collabs are always the best. Could watch hours of this!!
Right?! Need a 20hour road trip vlog🤘😎
I never thought in watching a harp channel to see guitar effect pedals. Keep on with the great content, this vlog/documentary/demo video format is really entertaining 😊.
This was the most fun ever!!! Emily and Russ, can’t wait until you both work at JHS.😉 And I didn’t think anything could skip worse than a disc-man until I saw the portable record player. Can you imagine someone on the bus just setting up a vinyl to spin😂😂
Jeez, Em. You amaze me every time I watch these vids. You're such a phenomenal musician. I just hope to be able to play my guitar even half that good at some point very far in the future lol! 🙏😁🤘
funnily enough my fav shimmer reverb was in a Multi-effects - the Line 6 M Series, their particle verb was just like
My Devin Townsend Ambient Button
Need to use that one more again tbh
Really!? Maybe I spoke too soon, I haven’t tried them all 🤔
Devin is a guitar monster and puts on an amazing show
"you should try a capo on it" damn that was funny Addison
Emily, as usual we'll done! Your music is consistently beautiful and inspiring, I think your use of pedals w your harp is really unique. Also you always highlight aspects of the pedals beyond the guitars reach. I am a folk instrument enthusiast btw 20+ yrs guitar ect.
Aw it's so nice of Uncle Em to drive you all the way there! It's nice to see you have so much fun 😊 I hope you get to come back soon.
HAHAH UNCLE EM 👏😂 I really hope we get to come back soon, too -- I already miss everyone so much!! 🥺❤️
i think its overlooked, but the pieces you decide to play for such specific sounds and tones from all sorts of pedals, are always perfect to really get an idea of what these pedals can do.
Emily, go on the TV and order that chair you sit in that climbs the stairs for you. Then you have it and we won't have to see you breaking your bones. It's on late at night and you can get it and hook it up wherever you go.😇
Thanks for including all the hilarious outtakes.
HAHAH thank you for watching!! so glad you enjoyed it ❤️😂
Remember Emily, you're not a klutz, you're handicapable. Just have a care-giver with you at all times, because we enjoy all your content.
Awesome video, Em! Very nice demo of the 3 pedal series and awesome extra content with the JHS guys and your road trip!
Also... "We're a highly curated channel here. We only feature the best. *insert fart pedal*"
HAHAH thank you so much, Eduardo!! you know I HAD to include the fart pedal there...! 😂❤
😭😭😭🥰🥰😭😭😭 what a truly heartwarming video!
I also really laughed at the Klon assessment...I mean it was a nice sound on harp, but your reactions were definitely warranted! 😂
Harmonic Trem and a variety of versions of octave up Reverb settings are all over both of my albums. The Fender Treverb is my sub £200 pedal of choice.
Emily Hopkins: we only feature the best. 0:45
😳😳😳
The alternating notes at 6:19 are just so amazing. Which of your album's has that "like clouds" song? (In that pure form minus the $500,000 klonic distortion hehe).
Love the collab with JHS. So much good stuff here. Pedal Road Trip FTW
Amazing as always! You gotta try running a pitchfork through the octave reverb 😎
That behind the scenes look at The JHS Show was super fun!
Not a music person but your videos always put a smile on my face. Keep it up :)
oh thank you so much, Shane!!! that means a lot to me; thanks for being here with us! 🥰
The stuff you're playing at about 6:20 has a very David Wise of Donkey Kong Country fame vibe to it. Which is amazing. Love it.
Great stuff, and the end was very touching. Someone give Emily a hug!
Really wanted to see you try out some of the Lovetone pedals they were handing you. The Meatball is a personal favorite of mine!
How cute the end is! Pedal demos, not only in order to sell, just friendly way of life!
🥺❤️ I'm a big baby
@@emilyharpist But an authentic one. Never change that.
I’m wondering what Harp would sound like through a Talkbox/Vocoder. I’ve got a Boss VO-1 and it’s a fun bit of kit.
Talkbox video coming soon!
"We got the rental car...it's packed to shit." Man, I love Long Island.
😂
8:30. I LOVE the blunt response. Last bit sounded nice after the gain and treble were adjusted. Thing is, I don't know that many of us have the ear to hear whatever subtleties this may have.
you really are blessed and even better that you know it. I think we should all learn to be bit like you Emily.your joy, lack of pretence and daring fun but also ability to feel an be comfortable with your emotions and to be creative in life is just great, you have basically tapped into the best states of mind on offer!
thank you so much for such an absolutely lovely comment; I really, really appreciate that 🥺❤️ your kind words made my whole day so much brighter. thank you for being here with us!!!
@@emilyharpist ahh that's sweet..though i just thought that if i was having a bad day, i could say something nasty even without any justification or reason (internet is a weird multiplier of negativity) i hope you wouldn't take that to heart..must be damn difficult to put yourself out there to the public on YT. Stay you! spread positivity so that people like me can learn to be positive too
Some thoughts on harmonic tremolo. It cannot be debated that the best examples of harmonic tremolo are the early 1960's Fender "brownface" amps. In my experience there are two types of harmonic tremolo, the trem on the bigger amps are more intense, squishier and can veer into univibe territory if you want. Maybe it's because of the bigger power tubes? The smaller amps like the Princeton I have are a more "normal" type tremolo but with that super special, extra something added to the mix. If there was a pedal that did both of those types pretty much exactly like brown Fenders I'd probably sell my Princeton and get that pedal tomorrow.
I didn’t think I’d be interested in shimmer reverb at all but this sounds really nice. The 3 Series Hall Reverb is also a wonderful, affordable reverb from JHS.
I feel like that expression pedal mouth controller thing would go really well in a hand puppet's mouth
OMG it really would!
That earthquake wear you are sporting is dope! Also another lovely performance
Welcome back to KC! Also that trem sounds awesome. This 3-series is really testing my GAS resistance.
Thanks for posting this vid 💛
It was fantastic
You guys would like driving outback Australia. The roads are basically following the old property boundaries so it's like: go straight 25km, make a turn, go straight 30km, make a turn... ad infinitum.
Thanks for another great video. I hope you guys get plenty of opportunities to keep collaborating in the future.
*_ROADTRIP!!!_*
It's been forever since I took a roadtrip; like, ten years. Went up to Fairbanks for a statewide LARP get-together.
LARPing sounds so fun!! Everybody needs a good road-trip once in a while!! 🥰❤️ can’t wait for the next stream Wednesday!
Oh man… That part at the end there genuinely made me tear up. Y’all are awesome. You make videos that are kind-hearted, fun, and inspiring. I’m not crying. You’re crying. 🥲
I have a bunch of overdrives which I used on my pedal board and I swore I would NEVER pay over $200 for one!! Well, I broke my promise!! I stack overdrives in a way that the cleanest one (Lovepedal's OD11) becomes my boards amp and started using Jetter's Gold which is very cool of what I like for a smooth sounding, creamy OD, but then I spent (and I'm not wealthy!) almost $400 on the King Tone " The Duellist" which has 2 OD's, the "String-Singer" which is Tube Screamer like that you can leave it on and it cleans up like a tube amp, and the "Heavy Hand" which is like a Marshall "Guvnor" (I like to say it with a "Monty Python" accent!! You can go from clean to a Godzilla crunch by blending these channels!! But the one thing I'm missing is a nice reverb which I'm thinking the JHS you suggested for my AC30 hardwired and thanks to my friend Emily (The Queen of Harps!!) I will be checking one out!!!! Thank's Emily!!! I'm not crazy about the Klon
😶
The title alone is golden! Can't wait to watch it.
I was so sad for you at the end, I hope you guys get to hang out again soon!
ME TOO 😭❤️ did not expect to cry like a baby when I left. lmao
we're really trying to get them to move here. if josh ever just...disappears, you know what happened.
That was a lot of fun. Brilliant idea for content
Emily: "I can play this... or this ... or this...?"
Everyone: "Yes."
I actually have that Shipwreck AD 7" (slime green tentacle thingy) you almost tried on the portable record player. What a coincidence!
The Klon is a testament to how ridiculously expensive musical gear can get.
And it's not even worth it. Just buy a clone. The Wampler Tumnus is amazing.
lets go shes getting more popular, this is good to see, been here for the memes from the early days
I love me some Tc Electronic - their Fluorescence suits me. although having googled it's about doubled in cost since I bought it for some reason.
Not gonna lie: I actually like how the harp sounds through the Klon. It reminds me of that lead sound Tycho uses a lot, although I doubt that's worth $500,000.
You need to do a record with Fourtet. Your sound with his musical ideas could be spectacular!
Touching and genuine, as always.
Thank you for sharing.
P.S: I'm a messy stairway climber as well!
Thanks so much! Stairs are HARD!
@@emilyharpist streets as well... sometimes... AHAHAH
The ending to this video was so adorable and made the whole thing worth it.
Didn't expect to see a harp video today but now I'm suddenly all into the harp.
mwahahaha WELCOME TO THE HARP WORLD
emily your face when the needle wouldn't stay in place and started scratching the record! oh i love this channel and this video was so sweet 🖤🖤
I originally subscribed for Emiliy's harp playing, but I keep coming back for Russ' fabulous hair.
Hi folks.. I use 2 behringer rv600's.
. Nice affordable shimmer and reverbs.. Old skool...stereo..
Get 2 for 120.00 ish 2nd hand as no longer made. Love ya 😍🏴
yeah earthquaker stuff is hard to beat love my avalanche run... I need to get more but feel i have too much stuff and haven't mastered any of it... I also like my superego + electro harmonix hot wax
The best feeling is when Emily says one of her favorite pedals is one you just got and enjoy.
Emily falling up the stairs is my favorite thing today lol😂😂😂
No idea where this channel came from, but I dig it. The harp is pretty wild with all the pedals.
Man your channel is a goldmine!!!!!!!!
what is the piece you are playing @ 1:20? i'm mesmerized by the arpeggio and i can't stop replaying it
Holy smokes I thought I missed a Series 3 shimmer release, turns out this is one!
YOU MADE IT 👏🥳🎶
Awwww, you're a kind soul ... I felt your grief as you left.
