- In this week's episode, I’m debuting the suckiest JHS pedals yet. They look boring, there's not enough knobs, why aren't there top mounted jacks, probably needs more features, font is lame, can't run on 18V, where's the presets? Yea yea, we get it, now let's go have some fun with the new JHS 3 Series.

I don’t think Josh gets enough credit for how good of a musician he is
Except that you can scroll down thru the comments on any JHS videos & find this same assertion dozens of times. He's solid, & has gotten a lot better over the past two years. It helps that his drummer is a fucking clock.
Actually came here to say Face Punches was amazing
he is great a composer too
Just wanted to write that he's really good guitars with awesome skill in using effects (well, figures :D).
Neither is the drummer, is he Nick ?
Josh: *witnesses an eagle get struck by lightning and a fish escape death twice*
Josh immediately after that: “There’s gotta be a way to sell quality pedals under $100”
It could happen.. 🦅🐠🤣
logical train of thought imo
I think it's a satire of those "profuct stories" that companies usually have
Karma!
It's times like that when you reflect on the important things
Step 1: order pedals
Step 2: order salmon, hawk, eagle, mountain, lightening, rocking chair, & cabin decals.
Haha. You sir, are a genius!!!
The hawk would be the overdrive, the eagle the distortion and the lightning the fuzz. The rocking chair wobbles like a chorus, the mountains are delay of course. The cabin.. is errr blocky.. like it's compressed.... And that leaves the salmon for the reverb. Because it's delicious. And it lives long. And happily ever after.
Almost one per pedal
@@robbertreus5905 fish -> water -> washy reverberations.
That Is Genius, Sir!!!
Wish I just had seven hundred bucks though, like, these are at a budget for his pedals, but still very difficult for any working musician in the real world who isn't rich. None of us who make a living meagerly off music in 2021 zero shows last year can really do that. I just don't have seven hundred. So for me it's like, I'm gonna get the chorus. I don't need more overdrives from him lol. I don't need more distortions in general, and certainly not delay. Glad he's doing this though. The chorus looks badass.
I love the minimalist design, they're begging to be customised with markers/paint/stickers. Perfect for younger players or people who like to customise. Very cool.
Customization iz Kewl!
Or... You could just leave it alone..
this feature (whether on purpose or not) is REALLY underrated in my view
That’s what I was thinking
@@jimbeam7548 Or do what Josh would do and mod the shit out of it and slap a sticker on it
Pedals aside, these are some of the sickest jams you’ve done!
yeah, although there has been good stuff before.
without a doubt
Correct. I vote Monster Truck Roller Coaster for the win.
@@scorpionsaloon4169 yeah. gotta have that fuzz pedal.
Josh should put together a band and tour. yeah, i know it is covid and stuff, but yeah, maybe afterwards.
Cannot wait for get the compressor in Reverb in $99 + $ 175 shipping
God no kidding. I don't even bother shopping Reverb anymore.
Yep, Sweetwater. 99 buk otd.
senseless comment. there are plenty of places that offer free shipping and no tax if you're clever enough
@@kyleboggs1966 off course; comment is jab at Reverb; there some people there that do shady prices with the “shipping” with no regards...
I want them all. I think it will be along wait for them to get to Oz.
Any non-snob guitarist would be More than pleased with one of these under the christmas tree. Thank you for the Beatles-style tune, cheers.
I had all the Dan electro food series because they were like $35 a piece. People need to stop being so snobby. My $100 big muff sounds better than a $7500 klon….
@@vikingbluesbreaker729 yeah I’m getting real tired of people saying if you wanna be a real guitar player you need thousands of dollars worth of gear. Some of us just wanna play for fun with our friends without going bankrupt
@@jomama2892 Build your Thousands of dollars pedalboard on paper and look for cheaper alternatives that can do 90% of what the best can do. I am in favour of getting that sweet spot of an acceptable price and great results, like this series, EQD Plumes, Proco Rat 2, new EHX Big Muff reissues, TC Toneprint series etc.
BOSS: "we will make pedals in several bright colors, so you can never confuse them" .... JHS: "hold my white !"
You're probably too young to remember the grocery store generics that came in a white package with simple black lettering; like POTATO CHIPS and OATMEAL. I suspect thats the theme, here.
@@springbloom5940 Why do you assume how old i am ? :)
@@BleepingRelics
Because most people are too young to remember that.

@@TheCortymast awwww looky an idiot kid that can't recognize when someone is giving information
Pedal companies: Hey guys here’s the version 3.2 of our popular pedal now with new updated graphics and leds with an all new $15 up charge
Josh: Hey guys heres 7 new pedals for $99 that all sound great! Like them or hate them I don’t care
He's clearly marketing to me which must be a huge mistake because I'm a moron! Lol
Yeah the last one with the fuzz pedal was nice.
Honky Tonkinson I’m just glad somebody finally came out with a pedal line to match my IKEA aesthetic.
You can have an afterneath version 3 and one of these fuzzes - both are good!! why not
@@honkytonkinson9787 At least you're honest!
i wanna see the outtakes of the intro, that would be funny i think
Yess I want a JHS outtakes video!:)
You know he got nailed in the face at least once.
I wanna hear the fuzz on bass
Nah Josh nailed it on the first try, cuz he’s such a cool guy who doesn’t drop things
7 scratch and dent pedals available for purchase
I wish every pedal maker could do such videos, playing their pedals themselves and showing that they're really excited to play their own products with the band in the garage. That is so inspiring!
Josh is a very good guitar player. He seems so relaxed about everything, and it's reflected in his playing, it's something I look up to as a guitarist. Best pedal show ever!
It'd be cool if you could buy the whole set as a discounted package.
I was just thinking how cool a whole pedal board of just these would look.
All white pedalboard. The people’s pedal board! Sounds kinda wrong when I put it that way. So glad they are white, so I can do my own art!
JHS 3 SERIES Bundle - All 7 Pedals reverb.com/item/35702995-jhs-3-series-bundle-all-7-pedals? Not discounted but all 7 in a bundle.
JugaJuga14 that’s the only time “white is right” doesn’t sound wrong lol!
That would actually be incredible.
That last monologue was more convincing than the entire presidential debate. Josh for President.
I can't believe every single pedal in this line is one I want. Like I could have a board with just these on it and I'd be pretty content
It'd b like Prince with his pedalboard of nothing but Boss pedals....
It'd still jam....
Gr8 pedals, All in the same line
KILLER.
@ThatsRaidillonActually id probably paint on all of them though lol
It is so beautiful watching the most humble guy in the world completely rock out and then kindly knock out the delay pedal😅
Yo whoever records/mixes the drums:
You are amazing
It's Nick. He's superhuman. Deal with it.
One of the best drum mixes i've ever heard
I'm guessing Nick is using (along other things) the Colour Box. I recommend you check the episode in which he plays the drums through that
The snare specially... sounds KILLER!!
We don’t deserve nick
28:20 “I’m excited for these pedals and I’m excited for what you’re going to do with them because...I made them for you. They are the people’s pedals and you are the peoples. I’m the person that made them, but I can’t take them where need to go. There’s a vast universe of sound, delight, joy, and beauty that you will sail upon in your ship of freedom through outer space, time, and the vortex of hope that is music, beauty, and art. You will take these pedals to a new dimension. A dimension that I can’t go to, cause I’m stuck in my dimension. My dimension is I made these. Your dimension is you take these, and you soar through the winds of time, breaking boundaries that no man has ever broken. You are the people and these are the people’s pedals, and I bestow upon you the responsibility of humanities’ goal of creating and living in a society where things are beautiful, and these pedals will help you do that. I love these pedals, but not as much as I love you, cause you are the peoples, and these are the people’s pedals. It’s time for record time...*laughs” - Josh Scott
....the peoples love you too.
that's passion for the craft coming out right there
Great speech, tbh.
This is the next shirt right ?
You got my vote.
@@amoores02 more like passion for earning money by repackaging well known circuits, but to each their own
First, I have been waiting for an affordable line of pedals so I could buy a couple to support you guys, since I've enjoyed your videos for so long. Awesome. Second: man your "jams" are fantastic. I could dig full albums of each of those genres. Well done.
Same here, I just got 3 of these today, fuzz distortion, and chorus
@@benbruhns192 Ben , are you satisfied of your chorus ? I'm seriously thinking to get one , to " mix it " with the MXR 90 Phaser and the Holy grail flangeverb. Thank you for your reply. Patrick from Italy
Hey Josh, I hope you read this:
This line of pedals is amazing, I loved the sound of every and each one of them. But I would also like to say that if you ever launch an album with these songs you play in your demos I would buy it for me and for my friends cuz they are just great. And I've been following your channel for years and must say that you've improved a lot in your guitar playing, well done man!
I wish you the very best, cheers from Brazil! o/

This is a master class in how to introduce a new product line. Puppy in the mix at 24:00 is just ... awww, man. Well done!
Wow....that distortion is really nice. Thank you JHS for understanding that right now, people just don't have the funds for hobbies. Knowing we can get this kind of quality for $99 is a God-send.
CHEERS to Josh for the self-deprecating humor in the vid description.
And his shirt
He forgot to mention the lack of tap-tempo
This is exactly what people need. Well built simple pedals that simply do the job.
Yes!!!
You mean, a Boss pedal.
Josh is coming in late but coming in STRONG with his bid to save us from 2020!

@@Mark70609 Wonderful consolation for those the government has forbidden from earning a living to support their families.
Well Josh, my JOYO Aquarius (that you suggested) died today so I’m replacing it with the JHS3 delay. My first JHS pedal. Dear god, don’t become an addiction...
Wish me luck ;)
Whoever is responsible for mixing the audio did an amazing job. The demo songs were a pleasure to listen to and I enjoyed the playing. Great job guys!
fivewatt releases Jaguar history, Josh uses a Jaguar in this demo.... COCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!
I think so actually
Josh uses 4 guitars in this video dude
Hey jon man
His jaguar has such a sick setup though
Chris Rowan hey nong man
I think Nick is a great drummer. So many different styles. I wish I knew such versatile a drummer.
I just received my 3 Series Delay. Without even being connected it stands out among my pedals like the "White Album" stands out among my vinyl. I was wondering if it's supposed to smoke until I realized it was just a burst of inspirational combustion and the smoke was coming from my guitar playing (or maybe it was from my wife seeing the Fed Ex truck in our driveway - AGAIN!). Thanks for making this.
The salmon represents quality pedals, the hawk represents too many features, the eagle is too much cost, and Josh is Pedal-Zeus throwing a lightning bolt of affordability from the heavens.
Yeah that makes as much sense as the story 😂
is deep dirp cheap pedls
The Lightning Bolt represents the band Lightning Bolt, known for their effects heavy and rhythm driven sound.
Mooer, Tone city, Behrindger: Are we a joke to you?
So... THIS is what the "colors of effects" episode was about?
🤯
He couldn't always get down to one...
@@ronaldbharvey maybe they'll come with a rainbow of Sharpies
Lol
That was my first thought as well.
I'm dedicated to buying one pedal a month. My first was the chorus, and I love it. I watch this episode once a week to wet my appetite. After a few years away from guitar, this channel has been a huge inspiration to me getting back into it, so, thank you.
Hope you're sticking with it and perfecting those skills! Keep on playin!
@@mefirstandthegimmiegimmies5160 thanks!
I'm going through the exact same phase dude, it's funny 😄
I was lucky enough to review all seven of these the other day...and WOW, I was so pleasantly surprised.
Simple and basic but high quality... affordable and American-made and sound darn good.
Well done JHS!
You’re going to sell tons of these. I’m ordering a reverb after I’m through watching.
Thanks for doing this, guys. I’m putting a new-rig together after an illness and long layoff - It’s getting expensive. This will save me a few $ and I know the quality is top-notch, as I have an Angry Driver & Pulp n Peel on the new board & LOVE them.
i want the reverb, too, plus the fuzz. the bias control makes it really interesting.
Best infomercial ever. I'd watch it again just for the intermission jams.
I’ve been trying a bunch of compact form factor reverbs for my board and I’m happy to belatedly discover how good the 3 series reverb is but also a little bit pissed that I didn’t try it first.
I just received my series 3 Distortion pedal. I love it. Great tones. Well done Josh. I’m going to buy all the pedals in this series. One a month. How fun for me! Thanks to all at JHS, you guys are the best WELL DONE!
Yeah, yeah these all sound amazing and are priced super reasonably, but why is no one talking about the dog at 24:00?

I was just looking for a simple Reverb after selling my Big Sky ( which I kind of regret ) but this reverb pedal is exactly what I’m looking for. Simple, yet effective. I have limited time to plug in and play so this less time tinkering with knobs the better. Josh, you are doing the guitar community a great service by releasing this line of high quality yet very affordable pedals. I’ve bought every complex and expensive pedal there is and now all I want is something simple so I could plug in a play without wasting tons of time tweaking knobs. Most of my pedal knowledge that I’ve acquired came from watching your show and I am appreciative of that. I learned more about pedals and circuits than I ever thought I would and it’s all because of your willingness to share your knowledge and for that kind sir I thank you.
Hey Jordan, I have tested a few hundred of this Reverb pedal before we shipped out to dealers. I own a Big Sky and I can tell you that you will not be disappointed. When I first plugged one in I had people from the shipping department as well as builders popping their head in my office to see what I was playing. To say the least I may have wasted a little company time because it was so inspiring. 😬 I hope you get a chance to check one out! 🤘
Best of luck to you!
reverb.com/item/35505691-jhs-3-series-reverb
Yes, this Reverb has me questioning if I should sell my EQD Ghost Echo in the big enclosure... nah.
John Loux Music Hey, thanks for insiders info and well wishes! Testing a few hundred reverb pedals sounds pretty awesome to say the least. Your ear must be really honed in. As soon as I heard the tone I went onto Sweetwater and ordered one. It’s arriving Monday. Any insider tips? I plan on using it with my single channel Orange which doesn’t have reverb. It seems like adding more verb makes it go from Room to Hall to Spring to more infinite ambient styles of reverb when cranked. I was looking at the Topanga and Faux Spring but they only really have one sound. The MXR is nice but I didn’t want to get lost in settings again. This one seems to be right there in the middle. Simple, but still has tonal variations. Hopefully this one is the last one I need. All I really want is something similar to a really good amp reverb. I think it will pair well with the Jan Ray and KOT.
Let me tell you something about those big skys. I have a history in the worship music world and everyone along with their mother has a big sky. Despite having the most advanced and tweakable reverb pedal on the market, they pretty much all used the most boring settings in the world on them. Though I think they're awesome and super advanced, I've never been impressed with anyone's reverb sound who I knew was using a big sky. Only time I ever complimented a dude's reverb, because it sounded absolutely huge and amazing, it ended up being a boss rv-6 on the modulated setting. So that's what I ended up buying. All that to say, most people with big sky's don't use them anywhere near their true potential. There are much better, cheaper ways to create space (good stacked delays; light, light modulation; etc.). If you use a reverb correctly anyway, it's typically fairly mild.
Just bought the Compressor and the Distortion. The Compressor is fantastic, the only issue is my guitar has INSANE output volume, kinda awesome though. The Distortion might just be the best distortion pedal I've ever played.

Thank you, Josh and everyone at JHS! You are very appreciated.
What an incredible series of pedals! Love the video of the employees testing them too!
In my hometown, there is a trio that plays all trio covers, and they all wear vests and blasters, etc, called (*drumroll*) Han Trio.
You’re welcome.
Been using the distortion pedal for about a year now and I am IN LOVE with the simplicity and versatility within it. Now I must have more pedals in this series. Love your transparency!
That initial story brought a tear to my eye...
3-piece band favorites: Dinosaur Jr.'s "Without a Sound" and Rush's "Exit...Stage Left".
Favorite trio: King’s X Album: “Dogman” A band if Sabbath, Sly and the Family Stone and the Beatles had a baby...
King's X is the bomb. I love them to death.
King X....wow....reminded me of them....gotta blast it out today
My favorite band since 1988 , just sick!!
*King's X group hug*
Love King's X! Perfect description of them. Dogman and Ear Candy were both huge albums for me.
I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now. I have 4 pages of notes. I'm 65, getting back into a band situation and really digging it. I love that you actually promoted your own products in this one. The reverb pedal made me realize why the reverb on my amp will just not do. JHS pedals on my BUY LIST: 3 Series Reverb and Distortion. And a couple of non 3 Series - the Whitey Tighty compressor (like the blend control) and the buffered splitter. Your jams are great, too. Great work!
Re trios, hard to beat The Police's first 3 or 4 albums. "Regatta De Blanc" is such a classic. Also King's X.
The Polices' sound arrested me & I stayed in their jail 4 a loooong time.
I was very happy there.
Grand Funk Railroad
Hell Yes King's X!!!
Josh: Those triple stop licks in the first jam killed.
Should make a variation with a black finish, with white graphics.
Brion Allan that would be awesome

Could b called the Alternate Universe 3 Series!
I gotta say.... this is my absolute favorite video of you and Nicks playing and songwriting. You guys are WAY BETTER than you get credit for! I honestly think that you could or should release an album of your work, or make them free downloadable, or up on UA-cam...whatever.
I just wanted to tell you that. I hope i am not a weirdo.
That is all. Thank you.
I really like the bias control on the Fuzz. Nice new line, glad you kept the format built to proper physical/durability standards.
Chatting with Josh this morning, not once did he mention anything about the JHS 3 Series 🤔
I do think the 3 Series is a great way to get up-and-coming player's into affordable boutique pedals built in the USA.
Later on as they mature in playing abilities.. I believe they'll move on to seek out their voice. Therefore, everyone pretty much wins the end. Just my 3 cent's worth 😉

Favorite quote in the video:
Josh: "Let's add some delay and just rock out. Let's get crazy. Okay, here we go." 🤣
Oh my god we're talking three pieces? Rush, the Police, Dino Jr. (as you mentioned), Primus, Nirvana, Motorhead, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and so many more!
Hey Josh, I just came across this video by chance, but I loved it. Then I started looking at your other videos, and I'm so impressed by the knowledge and passion you and your staff have for your gear, for others' gear, and for music in general. I am certainly going to be investing in some of your pedals in the future, and I'm keen to see what you put out next.
I made an Overdive and called it Overdrive, I made a Delay and called it .. Delay.. and the Compressor is called... yes.. you guesed it: Compressor!! I just love it!!
I’m not even lying when I say that’s one of the best fuzz sounds I’ve ever heard
it reminds me of the dod carcosa, seems to be a similar circuit including the voicing toggle and bias. that pedal is my absolute favourite fuzz pedal.
@@ithemba carcosa is way more versatile
Thanks darillio now I gotta go n check out the d.o.d. corcosa! BUT I couldn't agree more that the new JHS paddles are killer sounding! Fuzz with mad versatility. Simple, clean presentation.
Gotta love that Beatles style tune. Absolutely stunning.
The distortion jam started really awesome.....then that chorus chimed in and took it out of this world. That was amazing.
I picked up the compressor today. I tried it side-by-side with a dyna comp at the same price. The JHS had waaaay more control over the effect and sounded better overall, so it was a no-brainer. Well done, Josh!

Now work on giving us an album! These jams are too epic to not flesh out!
Makes sense, doesn't matter how many knobs and toggle switches you have on a pedal when you only have one vacuum cleaner switch to turn it on or off live.
@JHS Pedals: I’m really starting to get miffed that you don’t have an instrumental album I can add to my work playlist. I’m totally serious… well, not exactly about beeing miffed, though maybe a little bit… mostly I just want an album. Do that, please. I’ll be less miffed, and that would be nice. Might even be happy; even nicer.
on vinyl as well please
I feel like these pedals are a passive-aggressive way of answering last month's Patreon question "what color is an effect?". Answer? WHITE! They're all white!
How white? All the white. None more white.
As someone who completely overthinks the 'what circuit is this, and is it the correct one?' question, I kind of appreciate the vague nature. It gets to the nature of 'does it matter, it sounds good?'.
Real question: I'm not sure how well I'd do distinguishing them on the floor. Do they take grease pencil well?
Change out all the leds for colored leds :)
I thought exactly this. Color tells one what is what.

I thought about buying one of each, and making an All- 3 Series pedalboard, but then I realized a pedalboard with almost identical white pedals could occasionally be... visually challenging. And maybe that’s purposeful to not have too much 3 Series awesomeness on one pedalboard. Also beware of lawsuits from BMW legal team over “3 Series” and harassment from BMW fanbois. 😉
With the price point, you have enough money left to buy a set of colored sharpies. When you’ve practiced enough to be gigging, you’ll know exactly where on the pedals are anyway. Often times and dark clubs I’m not even seeing the color of my petals. I’m just stopping on the position.
You are so right about the BMW fanbois. That’s funny.
Just get some coloured electrical tape or some paint!
Honestly about to buy them before there is a lawsuit or some bullshit from BMW
Morphine's Cure For Pain. Brilliant minimalist song writing, sexy bass/baritone vocals, and sweet rock n roll hooks galore. The lack of guitar really keeps it sounding fresh over the years, and two saxes are better than one.
I dig the "Dharma Initiative" pedal line, Josh. And that shirt is fantastic.
Isn't it Darpa?😌 Not sure...
What an inspiring video, quite the journey Josh sets us on LoL from a poetic opening, to the great pedal showcase, to the "i made these... but i cant take them where they need to go" challenge. And how smooth was Galactic Football Star
Loving the sound of that compresor! Nice groove guys.
King’s X “Faith, Hope, Love”. Best rock trio ever!
Sticking with the J Mascis theme, check out Heavy Blanket. They are a little bit heavier, instrumental, and just amazing. Saw them with Dylan Carlson of Earth and Sleep.
Dude! Some.Killer.Tunes! Your channel makes me wish I'd gone into pedal design back in the day. I enjoy your sense of humor - plus - you and Nick rock on these demos! We've been mainlining your videos for the last three days in preparation for rebuilding my pedalboard.
At first I thought I was done buying a nice guitar, an accoustic simulator pedal and Sub'n'Up pedal, connect to my audio interface and do the rest in my DAW. It's been a few weeks, plus one Boss Blues Driver, soon to be a Sonicake 5th Dimension pedal, piling various pedals on my wish list, subscribing to your channel and almost binge watching videos on pedals, and I realize I'm going down the pedal rabbit hole AND YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE NICE $99 PEDALS! MY WALLET WANTS TO KILL ME!!
I really appreciate the simple naming and color scheme. No eyesores here! _I admit, I want my pedals to be aesthetically pleasing or at least inoffensive. 3 Series is completely inoffensive and slightly pleasing imo._
In my Top 10 Albums -- Cream - Disraeli Gears
Josh, my dad always says these all white pedals should've came with a box of crayons too
I just watch, listen to you jam, play along, and listen to you talk about gear. Very nice channel man. I hope you make a million. 🙃🤘
Very impressive, across the board. I’m particularly impressed with the reverb and fuzz. It’s a nice time to take a step back from some of the complexity of pedals, option paralysis is a real thing for me!
>under a 100$
“Oh, sweet”
>99$
“Yeah, figures”
At least it's not $99.99 😏
Yeah my wife would definitely not consider these budget haha I don't tour or stomp my shit so I'ma stick with Behringer
@@depressioncircuit535 you have the behringer compressor sustain one? Just curious if it's noisy. Mine is the only one in the line that gets noisy. The tube overdrive is great though.
Also wouldn't be profitable to sell them any cheaper, being made in the USA and not plastic or cheap components. Better come with a sticker though!
@@bradfordsmith3203 He can sell for as much as he wants to, but 99$ isn't REALLY less than 100$, you know what I mean?
I've had the fuzz since it came out. Now I have the octave reverb. I love these 2 pedals very much
Backed into this video (knowing nothing about JHS) after a) seeing the overdrive featured on Rhett Shull's channel, b) locating one used on reverb that I could pick up locally, and c) searching for videos to get to know what I'd just bought. Your pedals, snarky humor, and the great jams kept me here thru the entire video. In the end, when you say, you're excited for these pedals.... I'm nodding my head.
Nice job all around! I'll come looking for JHS pedals as future needs demand.
21:42 "Kinda like you're on the back side of Pluto and you're escaping your enemies".
Fantastic description.
Is the salmon ok?? It was struck by lightning too
And gouged by 2 sets of talons.
I'm sure it's fine.
Blackened
It's just a little electrically charged, it's still good, it's still good!!!
Turned into a zombie eel. Doing fine.
talons are electrical insulators and the resistance to the current (in the eagle) caused the puncture wounds to cauterize... or not... fish swims upside down now, tho'
Awesome that you’re making some more affordable pedals in these times when budgets are a little tighter. They all sound fantastic, as does you’re playing. You definitely got a groove going today Josh! Also as far as a three-piece album, King’s X - Dogman ...
I especially love when the dog just wanders onto the set 🤣
Nick doesn’t get enough credit for tasty beats, fills and a clean, punchy drum sound to die for
Minutemen, What Makes a Man Start Fires. Everything they made pumps my adrenaline. Mike Watt is a heck of a nice guy too
I love that these look like a line of expensive skin care products. Gonna slather on some fuzz today!
You should do an episode where you go over your favorite EE/audio circuit textbooks or just ones that influenced your design the most. Or even just post a list online somewhere I'm just a textbook nerd/collector who likes to see which textbooks other people like.
I truly enjoyed watching your presentation. And you guitar playing too! No matter how humble you may be. The Overdrive is going to be part of my #1 choice, followed by the reverb and chorus. Soon! And cheers from Belgium!
Josh, I really dig what you're doing here. I have a almost every boutique delay you can find, but I'm getting this series 3 just because. Your vids are really great. Keep it up.
I'm finally getting a chorus pedal
What was stopping you? There are ones out there for well under 3 digits already.
Yea like a small clone
I’m finally switching my guitar from propane to electric
I highly recommend the Danelectro CoolCat from the 90’s, big metal body, 18V CE-2 clone. Sounds incredible. Best chorus Ive had. You can find em for like 60 bucks. And they’re stereo.
The mosky is only about $20 and sounds excellent.
"Martian Outlaw" sounds like the working title for The Mandalorian
The living end, the living end. I think that you will love it. Chris Cheney the plays a mind blowing guitar part whilst singing. In Australia he was called the new god.
The jams on these videos are the best part! You guys take no freaking prisoners. Way more fun (and educational!) than the Jan. 6 hearings, which I was watching earlier.
