I don’t know how but I knew it was you playing at the start just by the way you stood and how you held your guitar. I think it’s all your live shows you streamed on your channel.
I work in professional theater as an actor and stage manager, and am also a musician. This is one of the most intriguing online productions I've seen! Some of my theater associates might say, "oh that was simple choreography" or "good voice - dumb song" or "oh, sure, he needed his script on the table". But let me tell you, this is one of the most unique ideas, performed in a manner that is informative, honest, real, curious, fun, and clever. Not to mention, the short songs are perfect in length and pleasant in melody. I look forward to more.
Yeeeees! I'm a musician who sound tech'd probably a couple dozen plays and musicals all through my twenties and generally used to be an active member of my little city's bizarrely good theatre scene, and I will *HEARTILY* agree with you, sir! I've got background and am just generally a critical snob about a lot of things, and I'd stick up for this production to anyone! 🤷🏼♂️😄 Sending it to a few of the guitarist pit players I know now! lol ❤️
will this be on broadway for thousands of dollars a seat? no! but in its own right is a great piece and serves its mission with an honesty that i do think american theater usually lacks...definitely a great work
Seriously. He is the only owner/founder/CEO that I’ve ever heard of in ANY industry that actively promotes and markets competing products out of his love for the industry. It’s insane, but it works.
I have legit never seen this kind of creativity, dedication, and passion from a YT channel...Josh & crew, you guys are the Thucydides(s) and Sophocles(s) of pedal lore. This kind of thing can only come from genuine love of the subject...I'm truly glad I found this channel. 🤘
I can't believe I just watched this, that it actually took place. Has anyone ever had such blind dedication to elevating an industry more than Josh Scott? No. The answer to that question is a resounding no.
I love that it wasn’t all done in house and that you paid professional people to do it properly. My wife works in the costume industry and it’s rough out there at the moment. Big kudos for that.
This was really good. And major props to Sweetwater for providing funds for the actors and dancers - my opinion of Sweetwater grows every day. This was a lot of fun to watch. Thank you, Josh!!!
Me before: This is going to be hilarious. After the start: This is actually very cute and good. Later: Goshdarnit, why am I crying during this Jimi Hendrix homage?
I laughed, I cried, I UniVibed. This brought out feelings deep inside me, but that could have been the tacos. Just see it, I think you will agree - IT IS A MUSICAL!
Isn't Billy Shears the guy from that famously failed rockband from around 1967? They had that one song (and the reprise) which was pretty ok, but then they were never heard of again. The term one-and-a-half hit wonder was just coined for Billy's band
Me: So tell us Josh, what do you plan to do with all of this historical archiving of guitar pedals?.... Josh: ....... Musical? Nick: (in back at the top of his lungs) MUSICALLLLLLLL!!!!!
IMHO, the Univibe+Fuzz moment really made my soul in flames! Listening to this monstrous tone got me some really crazy desire to buy a Univibe style pedal.
This was amazing. Hilarious and fun but accurate and well done. The amount of work the cast and crew must have put in is incredible. Kudos to Josh and all those who participated!
It can't be overstated how much had to go into this - choreography, history, music, and lyrics - all blended flawlessly. Props to whoever thought this up and everyone that actually made it come to life. Now I really, really want a Pedals The Musical II picking up in the 70s.
Although I miss a little love story in here.... like: Reverb loves Delay, but he's giving her a hard time because he's always late, so she has an affair with Compression. But he's smothering her too much, and as Delay meets Phase 90, who is Compressions ex, it all ends up in a confusing love squarewave!
Finally Compression and Phase90 get back together, as they realize, that they were just rooted in the wrong direction and Reverb finally learns that being late is an essential part of Delays character, which she can't live without.
The biggest jaw drop really was when Josh came on stage in the end and he literally looked like a giant. All jokes aside, thank you all for this beautiful art/history piece, an outstanding example of a joke that went too far.
You talkin to me? You talking to me? (Robert De Niro accent ) Cause I don’t see anybody else... oh wait there they are Filling up the comments section! 🤪 Have a great week Bri and tell Evil to jump more busses!!! Aux buss or master it’s all the same to Spicy ... ok maybe I do need to get out more?
I love when people are genuinely excited about the things that they love and then that love leads to something like this. Absolutely killed it, everyone involved.
Sunday, I subscribe. Monday, this gem gets released. That's my most rentable UA-cam subscribe of all time. Thank you for the nerd magic, that was just perfect, and kudos for giving credits to our artists in these difficult times.
Octavia: "I'll combine it all and burn'em like an 8-bit cigarette!" was my favorite line... that said, good job everyone 👏 Rhett, great job layin' down the tone!
I'm not really sure what I was expecting, but this was absolutely fantastic. It was catchy, tongue-in-cheek, and well executed. Thanks for an entertaining 30 minutes.
Josh, thank you for this production! At first, I was thinking, "Is this real?" But then quickly, yes, it was REAL! My favorite was the Tone Bender segment. Rhett's guitar was just the right amount of Clapton shout-out, and the song itself was the most "Hamilton-like" to me. As always, Nick was fantastic. I really enjoyed the whole thing, and look forward to more decades!
I'm endlessly impressed with how far JHS pedals is willing to go with their content and I'm tremendously thankful for it. Looking forward to a sequel about pedals in the 70s. I'd love to see that take on a new form. Someone suggested pedals on ice. Or maybe it could be a soap opera. Maybe some sort of Pedal Olympics. Or, (perhaps better suited for the 80s) a Pedal Sci-Fi Star Wars/Trek parody. Pedals holiday special. Pedal circus/Cirque Du Soleil. Pedal Opera. Pedal Ballet. Possibilities are endless.
Wow! Crazy! Obviously there was some editorial choice that ought to be made (No Super-Fuzz... No Dallas Rangemaster... No Mosrite Fuzzrite... No Jordan Bosstone... No Burns Buzzaround... etc. etc.) But all in all, the most iconic designs/circuits are there and presented in a very very entertaining way. Awesome !!! Thank you all! We want chapter 2 :)
Dude, you have outdone yourself. The problem is, how do you top this? Watching so many of my pedals come to life. Way to go. This was awesome. I'm 68 (still can't believe that), been playing since I was 13, so I was around when these pedals were born. The Fuzztone changed our lives. I had the one that plugged into the guitar. This was great. I See a TONY.
That was wild. I loved it - Thanks for the history lesson! I'm not a fan of musicals normally, but that was super fun and enjoyable. I applauded like I was in an audience. That's so great that you were able to support the theatre industry through this production. It was silly, historically accurate, made with love, and more enjoyable to watch than I expected it to be - from a person who is not a fan of musicals, I loved this. I'd honestly love to see more production pieces like this on UA-cam. Bravo!
OMG! This was amazing. It brought tears to my eyes. Hard to explain why here, but that’s a good thing. Please do the 70’s next. This is how stories should be told. And I usually hate musicals. Octavia was the best, more of that!
Fantastic Loved it!! Thank you so much for doing this and helping so many people from the Artists group and Musical Group. A huge thanks to Sweetwater!! those people are so awesome. John Russell (74 year young Rocker now in a rocker ;) in the U.S.A.(Born in Portsmouth U.K)
Thank you, @JHS_Pedals! I caught the 3/14 show (and the tech difficulties) and was hoping for a repost. The Crybaby song makes sense now and the Uni-Vibe song had me feeling feels in my feel box. Great tones @Rhett_Shull!
I can just imagine the casting call, especially for Miss Fuzz Face. That in itself would have been entertaining. She: What's my character? He: A Fuzz Face Guitar pedal. She: Oooookay. What's my motivation? He: To rock out with your.....socks out.
This is friggin awesome! I never in my wildest dreams would have thought that a musical about guitar pedals would be entertaining and funny. Great job to the cast, crew, and creators!!!
waiting for Rick Beato’s “what makes this musical great”

When can we expect Pedals on Ice???
Probably after the world tour
Is that one exclusively about germanium fuzzes?
You made my day!
Ice Capedals?
Are you a prophet or was Pedals on Ice planned and announced years ahead of time?
The single best musical I've ever seen about pedals.
Of course, it being the only musical about pedals has nothing to do with it!
After watching the Wah, I felt so bad about taking mine off my board that I teared up a little. I guess I’m a cry baby.
Wait, it's like a joke, right?
Well yeah the wah sits next to the board because otherwise it's at a weird angle!!!!
DHAHAHSHAHHSHSHSJAMDBSNS PHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Sheer insanity. I love it.
Exactly, Sammy-G
Insanity indeed.
How can I reach you!??? Ive tried for weeks lol
Hollywood is calling. They want to cheat you blind. So you KNOW it's awesome!
SENSEI!!
Musicals are really hard, I have a new respect for theatre.
You guys smashed it, though. Really fun to watch both nights.
Rhett - I played in the pit for a couple when i was in HS. They ARE difficult. You did sound good here. Great job.
You did great man, your playing was killer!
I don’t know how but I knew it was you playing at the start just by the way you stood and how you held your guitar. I think it’s all your live shows you streamed on your channel.
Well done!

Josh is leaving a killer legacy and you can tell he truly loves his industry.
Seriously. He is the only owner/founder/CEO that I’ve ever heard of in ANY industry that actively promotes and markets competing products out of his love for the industry. It’s insane, but it works.

"I'm the muff!" - This video has been flagged by UA-cam Community Guidelines.
My hat’s off to Rhett for keeping a straight face through the entire show. I sincerely hope Chapter 2 is coming soon!
"I'm the reason Keith Richards can't get no satisfaction." I died, many times over.
Same here, lol.
I cringed to my death
I hope there will be a Pedals The Musical 2 (the 70s) and a Pedals The Musical 3 (the 80s)
I really hope there will be an 80's version!!!🤞🏾🤞🏾😊
This is the musical no one asked for, but the one we all deserve.
I love pedals. I love theater. I love this. Also Rhett's tone throughout the show is truly inspiring.
Agreed. I have to be honest, his tone on the intro song was my favorite. Sucked me right in.
This feels like shit posting elevated to high art.
That's supposed to be a compliment. Thank you JHS!
The musical revue that nobody ever asked for, but that everybody needed.
I feel bad for all non-guitar people who won't understand how amazing this is. I'm not crying, you're crying.
I don't even play guitar, started learning pedals to use with synths, but end up learning much more about music.
No. You are.
I watched this with my parents and they were so confused the whole time
This was really good. And major props to Sweetwater for providing funds for the actors and dancers - my opinion of Sweetwater grows every day. This was a lot of fun to watch. Thank you, Josh!!!
Me before: This is going to be hilarious.
After the start: This is actually very cute and good.
Later: Goshdarnit, why am I crying during this Jimi Hendrix homage?
Same
Josh is flexing his Klon money on vanity projects
Price just went up to ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!
I think he’s using it as collateral on a massive loan to pay for all this.
HAHHAHA OH SHIT I didn’t even thing about that. You are probably right 😂
This was like a good pizza; just enough cheese to make you question your life choices
But it was Pedals not Grease...
Ok I’ll let myself out.
The most amazing, preposterous event ever. Kudos to the troupe for outstanding work.
I laughed, I cried, I UniVibed. This brought out feelings deep inside me, but that could have been the tacos. Just see it, I think you will agree - IT IS A MUSICAL!
Hats off to Nick. He invented so many pedals!
Now Nick has to be retconned by using time travel and other sci-fi tropes. I hope Nick writes that!
Utterly brilliant.... nuts, yes... but also brilliant!
I felt really bad for the maestro character
@@rikkousa you mean Big Muff without the Box?
Nuts yes.....
When this guy says something is nuts believe him, he knows
I knew you'd be here!
Getting Rhett involved was such a masterstroke. Such a great guitarist
The effort to make art like this was heroic.
Josh channeling his inner Michael Caine was unexpected. Thank God you people found each other.
Just hearing that the actors and musicians got paid well gave me a heartswell!
Critics rave!

This was amazing. Hilarious and fun but accurate and well done. The amount of work the cast and crew must have put in is incredible. Kudos to Josh and all those who participated!
when the uni-vibe sang the star spangled banner I really felt something
I fully expected the wah to come out vocalizing wah sounds for the entire song.
Same here! Haha
You gotta appreciate the amount of work put on this just because pedals.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Dick would be so proud.

I hate musicals, but THIS IS SUPREME! Really, the Uni-Vibe act brought a tear to my eye. Awesome!!!
Same here, then the lyrics mentioned wahwah and I almost chocked with laughter. It was great
Speechless. You guys pulled it off! Never again shall we question JHS' dedication to making dreams come true.

Truly the absolute best musical comedy about effects pedals in the history of the world!!! I am in awe.
Out of all of them this was my favorite.

Or, (perhaps better suited for the 80s) a Pedal Sci-Fi Star Wars/Trek parody. Pedals holiday special. Pedal circus/Cirque Du Soleil. Pedal Opera. Pedal Ballet.

That was hands down one of the best thing's I've ever watched, JHS i hope you will continue with the 70's pedal era.
After watching this my son said, "Dad I would watch even if my leg wasn't broken."
His leg is literally broken, but unrelated to this musical.
Absolutely inspired, and i don’t even like musical theatre. Can’t wait for part 2
I can just imagine the casting call, especially for Miss Fuzz Face. That in itself would have been entertaining.

He: A Fuzz Face Guitar pedal.
She: Oooookay. What's my motivation?
He: To rock out with your.....socks out.
Absolute genius. Why am I crying? Need to have a word with myself.
Amazing show
I can’t look at my pedal board the same. It’s so, so much better! Thank you JHS, Sweetwater, cast & crew!
I’d say this is one of the best musicals ever written by far
This was AMAZING. How, I don't know, but it was.
I knew Josh was tall, but I didn't realize he was Conan-O'Brien-tall
