  • In this episode I take you along with me to London as I sit down with a pedal designer that I admire. We talk, play his pedals and learn what makes him do what he does.

    I was actually in the shop (think it was Andy's?) looking at guitars I couldn't afford when David came in with his first Dr Freakenstein prototypes looking to sell them, I thought it was absolutely fantastic and so different to anything else available then. I should have bought one on the spot but was always skint in those days! Great to see the success he's having.

  • @sergiopedro4668

    Thanks for another great vlog, Josh. Always informative, thought provoking, amusing and entertaining. What I particularly like is how positive, enthusiastic and supportive you are about other pedal builders, who are 'competitors' too. Top stuff!

    David seems like such a great guy. I bought the his Drone Delay pedal. I can't wait to get it and I'm so happy to support his wonderful products. Same for JHS. I love Josh. He's such a great guy. Josh has great values and I hope to God he remains humble. May the Lord bless you all at JHS and Rainger FX. You all take great care of yourselves. Happy Holidays. Peace and love, folks.

    There is a powerful message in that video; respect your local libraries! 😉
    So many times, when pedal builders start their story, there’s this line at the beginning “I went to the library, got me some books...”.
    Great video Josh, cheers m8!

  • @gabeandthehs
    @gabeandthehs 5 років тому +4

    This was a fantastic and intimate pass into Rainger FX. To have the ability to adhere the modulation pad right to your guitar and wob and throb and bleep opens up the possibilities to mad creativity. I also enjoyed the change-up with this episode’s format. Thanks JHS

  • @sprayscience
    @sprayscience 5 років тому +4

    I build pedals also. And so far in my journey I share the same parallels, like having a job that pays me for a lot of down time. Hopefully everything works out, as I have some really cool circuits I would like to share with the world.
    I really like this episode.

    • @HiGlowie
      @HiGlowie 5 років тому +2

      sprayscience how did you get started? I find diy pedals absolutely fascinating and would love to do some very simple stuff to see if I could wrap my head around it.

    • @sprayscience
      @sprayscience 5 років тому +2

      A great way to start is getting a kit. That's how I became addicted to it. Start with a simple build like a fuzz or a Big Muff like I did. If you like what you did then you can order lots of parts and start building clones or modifying existing circuits. Look for vero board layouts of existing circuits on the net. You will find ways to improve circuits and make them sound even better than the what the manufacturers offer you. Learn the electronics language, learn to read schematics. If you get addicted to it and it becomes crazy fun then you will learn quick. But I do warn you that it will take up a lot of your time. You will learn what it takes to build a pedal and appreciate the labor and time to build it. I hope this helps a little.@@HiGlowie

    Your videos convey your love for the subject matter so well that I can’t help but feel it myself by the end. Every video has this “looking at old photo albums with family” vibe that, frankly, kinda just makes me happy to be alive and able to make music...and that other people share the feeling and the excitement for it. I’m glad you introduced me to Mr. Rainger because now I can add him to my list of “greats”.

    David Rainger is one of the nicest, most patient, and most stoked pedal guys I've ever met. His pedals are inspiring to use and brilliantly made. Everyone should own one of his pedals. To me he's on the same level as Zachary Vex with his inventiveness.

      It’s hard for me to see this video as advertising. I don’t think Rainger paid him to tell the story. There was zero talk of his own pedals (if I recall correctly). I can concede that on some level this is advertising, but if I’m classifying UA-cam content this wouldn’t end up in the “ad” pile. Don’t be a hater.
