The fact that josh has his own pedal company that sells all around the world and still makes videos about other companies and budget pedals shows how much he cares about music and musicians. He wants people to make great music, not just sell.
This comment is underrated.
Nope. Its a marketing strategy. His company sells experiences, not pedals. He sells overpriced itens with "mods". The buyer needs to be immersed in the context of pedal land to understand the value of his pedals. Why buy a Bonsai and not a TS? The buyer needs to be educated first. By making videos of other companies (and even endorsing their products) he can cut a slice of the pie redirecting the interest from a TS to a Bonsai.
@@vexguine Might sound harsh but ture. This is how clever business does. Instead of merely advocating their own pedals, cultivating the interest of the audience towards the pedal world is a wise way.
@@vexguine
You and me owning guitars, in some way is marketing for the companies making those guitars. What you wrote, isn't entirely untrue, but the videos Josh makes, first of all seem to be a celebration of guitar gear and the culture around it. Does is somehow serve as marketing for his own product? Probably yes, but this marketing he's putting out is very entertaining and informative. I don't see him implying anywhere that he's mother Theresa for making these youtube videos. Plus, if we want to talk nasty, implicit, borderline unethical marketing, let's talk instagram 'influencers'...
I love this guy's work & I have a load of pedals, none of them JHS. Is this a fail on Josh's part or on mine?
kinda surprised there’s no Joyo Division pedal
Ha! Amazing
Go sit in the corner and think about what you just pun.
@@mattgilbert7347 LOL!!!!!
Sit in the corner and wait for your royalty cheque...
That would sound awesome, i'd buy it!!
No way, that's the CAB BOX all the time? You really got me Josh.
lol
I was thinking all the dirt boxes were crap, although the clean is OK.
just please, don't ever let me be.
Pretty much it was demo that got me to purchase the cab box. Great piece of gear!
Would you say he really got you so you can't sleep at night?
He really got you
He really got you!
*cue crazy solo*
Hey Josh. I do the amp repairs for Joyo in Australia (that's Artist Guitar's for your Aussie fans). I was a brand snob my whole life, but Joyo converted me. The tube gear and pedals have world class tone. I love your JHS gear, and 2 have a permanent spot on my board. But what I love even more about you is your generosity of spirit.
I'm gonna get a few from artist guitars website thanks for commenting! Wasn't sure who was the best place to get them from 👍
@@carolinehaf21 I am loving my Joyo Aquarius delay, the Tauren is an excellent Klon clone and the Nux Monterey univibe. I will do a more technical review on my YT channel in the near future. By the way, they are moving from St Peter’s to Yennora. Have fun at Artist.
Love listening to Josh just talking about pedals in general. He is so knowledgeable and does it with a great sense of humor. I would be one of those Aussie fans you are talking about. I've been turned onto Artist Guitars a few years ago and haven't looked back since. Been a Boss guys pretty much all my life, but just added the D-Seed & Uzi to my board and loving it. Keep up the great work!
Artist Guitars, Amps and Pedals are the BEST VFM for us struggling Aussie musos! Thanks for doing what you're doing, dude. You guys ROCK!
Love Artist! You may have worked on one of my student's amps, a Joyo Sweet Baby. I bought one myself, bloody great little Champ!
I love how Josh legit runs a whole pedal company but still puts videos out on ther pedals like these for example, they aren't his but he respects them and believes that people looking for a good budget friendly pedal should give them a shot. This is what I love about the pedal community including the builders, everyone is united
Thank you and thanks Josh
@@JOYODirect
I was just about to cynically comment how it's most likely a pedal company sponsoring this and basically paying for a good review.... but then Joyo had to comment and pretty much prove my point
@@TheMrartistman BS These pedals sound good and are affordable. What else do you want?
@@TheMrartistman Serious accusation-any proof, or just pulling this out of your hindmost? Never mind, we already know....sniff, sniff.
TheMrartistman Lol yea.... I do this channel for money. Funny. Joyo is in no way sponsoring this. My videos are mine, I do what I want 🦄
"If it sounds good, it is good" You should put that on a shirt
Agreed
Seconded
Thirded?
I heard that sentence hundreds of times before (even Malmsteen!) And i'm Always ok with that
Sounded like John Mayer 😂
I love this guy. He's selling pedals, good ones at that, but still he reviews cheap pedals for frugal guitarist with unbiased opinions. I mean, if there's anybody we should listened to about pedals, is a CEO of a pedal company. The world needs more guys like him
@@Jedi_Mindtricked If you're talking about AdSense income, the money is insignificant compared to his pedal sales. With standard average USA CPM of $7 and UA-cam's cut of 45%, best case scenario he's only making roughly $1400 of GROSS revenue from this video in 14 months since the video launched (assuming nobody on the video's 360k viewers use adblocker). That's $100 per month, MAX. JHS' estimated annual revenue is $650,000 or even more. This particular video income amounts to max. 0.21% of his company's annual revenue in best case scenario. In reality, it could be much lower.
That's not counting the man-hours capital he spend shooting, editing, and actual capital he used to purchase the pedals for the video. The thing is, he's bringing invaluable information for people who don't have access to many pedals. IMHO, he deserves the money he generates from his videos. Would you rather that he DOESN'T make videos about other brands' pedals?
Did that guy, Jedi MindTricked, deleted his comment? Tsk. What a loser. This is what he wrote and then deleted after my reply:
"I hope all of you stroke artists realized he's still making money from this video."
If everyone was like Josh, communism would work
@@elzafir so is everyone who makes videos professionally, since we are doing whataboutisms here, he said boss is best then he says these are what he loves, can we talk about josh's fickle heart?
@@otakuholly8885 No.
This is the sort of open-minded video Josh is famous for creating. A video like this prompted me to buy a JHS pedal that I didn't need ( though it's great). Someone this decent deserves support. Thanks, Josh. The world would benefit from more folks like you
Josh: [Hangs out with Paul Gilbert once]
***every subsequent video***
Josh: [playing an Ibanez Fireman]
I assume it went like this “Hey paul, do you wanna do a signature pedal? I’ll design it in exchange for a free fireman”
Great guitar. I have one and can see how he wants to keep playing it. It has the thickest neck I’ve ever played. Like a flattened Louisville Slugger! Lol
if yo get your hands on LAC all your other guitars get shelved. its the rules
@@tonesheriff4959 Seems like a guitar I would love. Didn't expect that from Ibanez. And mini humbuckers? Gotta love it.
@@radzillor lac?
I like this guy for what he does. That's what happen when an unbiased scientist gets into the business. He expands the entire pedal industry instead of playing on people's egos, political biases , stereotypes and simple stupidity for short-term gain.
Scientist?
What does he do? Apart from stealing other people's schematics and selling them as his own?
William Bodie would you care to elaborate? I’m not trying to incite or make waves, however if he is stealing schematics then I would to know which builders or pedal companies are making claims so I can go support them by purchasing their products. There is only so many ways to build a circuit and a pedal that us the consumers would be interested in. While I can sympathize with builders being passionate about their products; and why their product is better; there comes a point where marketing and consumer preference weigh more than a “stolen design” claim. While I do have my own personal opinion on Josh and JHS pedals the wealth of knowledge and pedal history (that you don’t have to pay a dime for might i add) that Josh imparts on viewers of his channel is incredible. Either way in my opinion UA-cam has become like QVC for gearheads and musicians alike and the majority of these type of videos are commercials to fire up our GAS.
Sky Studios so do some reading about basic scientific methods. Not sure what your imagination of a scientist is
Jonathan Ortiz goodness such effort you have taken here to educate a “wannabe smart” :)
Joyo's have been pretty good to me so far. The atmosphere reverb and Aquarius delay combined together is like shoe-gaze heaven.
Yeah. Those two seem like the standouts. I'd love those have those two for my delay reverb.
Is it better than Harley Benton gear ?
When I can afford it, I will absolutely buy a JHS pedal. Probably the PG-14. I love Josh’s support of other pedal companies. I’m a big fan of affordable pedals like Joyo, Caline and Donner. And because Josh supports affordable pedal companies like Joyo and Behringer, I would totally save $200 to buy a JHS. Thank you for your great videos, Mr. Scott.
If you haven't already, pick up the Whitey Tighty compressor. Absolutely killer comp
I've got one you can have
@@andymaciver1760 I'll take it.
Worth every penny
@@Jbean0409 u want the fuzz or angry charlie?
T-minus 5 minutes till reverb jacks the prices
Thanks Josh.
Same with Amazon!
hahahah
true story
Not vintage. They're on amazon. still in production
@Toxic Potato lmao calm down its a joke
Bou-cheap should be a word to describe cheap but high quality pedals
Boutique doesn't and has never meant quality. It basically means it's hipster shit.
@@lobsterbark true, but I also understood it to mean small-scale produced guitar equipment made with discreet parts.
Bou-cheap(tm) is now a registered trademark. Please delete your comment.
Sincerely,
Jake's Lawyer
Nice.
"Lil Bo-teek" sounds more like a bad rapper than a pedal company.
I’ve loved your channel since this series started and it keeps getting better. Thanks y’all!
Maaaaaan. I just love your show so much. It's so transparent and fun. Great to have you here. You really helped us.
I feel deceived. Never been so betrayed. Making me think I was listening to a tube amp. Now I can’t say how the IR sucks. Shame on you.
I was gonna get the jhs pink panther delay but you sold me on the Aquarius. Lmao
😂
ammon pocketecho..the Aquarius is a rebranned ammon pockecho..save yourself about 30 bucks and get the pockecho
@@voidburner8271 Other way around. Ammoon is rebranded Joyo.
Grisha _owo it's different godammit
When his own videos backfire on him 😂
I love that you did this episode!!! I've got 2 of these, the delay and reverb, and thy're outstanding!! GREAT SHOW!
Your Videos are NEVER dull, always interesting,informative and entertaining!
Been hoping you'd do an episode of these. Love my Joyo pedals.
Josh, just wanted to say thanks for explaining different circuits in your videos, especially fuzz ones. Have been trying to decide between certain fuzzes (different big m*fs) but understanding how all the fusses came to be and work and why the sound that way really helps why I'm hearing what I'm hearing. Just love your style of explanation of what we're hearing vs why it works. Always fun yet informative, especially why a certain circuit might be different. Thank you!!
I‘m again impressed on how wonderful and funny all your videos are that always can really give me the idea of the pedals shown and explained without having them tested myself.
Thank you so much for what you are doing, Josh!!!
God Bless you, Josh. We are all in rough times right now, the pedal companies are right along with us, and here you are promoting Joyo, and telling us to watch other people's videos. Thank you, Sir.
Love the budget videos like this one and the berhinger one. You should cover more budget brands such as Donner and the budget TC Electronic range.
This guy is just plain fun to listen too. He has an excellent camera presence and also puts out great info.
Your explanation of I Got Id and Neil Young’s solo was exactly my experience! Was awesome to hear that someone else shared this. Great selection.
Picked up the Atmosphere after this. It’s awesome. Thanks for the rec.
Hey Josh, I love your videos and love how you spread love even to brands that the snobs hate! I was curious if you would ever do an episode on Digitech, who get I think maligned despite having some incredibly innovative products (alongside some serious duds), also their whole history coming out of DOD/the whammy series.
I like that the atmosphere reverb has the “trails on/off” toggle. I love the choice. Only reverb pedal I have that gives me the trail on when I want it after I shut the reverb off ....is the Line 6 Verbzilla I scored used mint in the last 12 months. Trails on on the Verbzilla is awesome and it looks like I good feature on “atmosphere” I almost bit the bullet on a “Spring Tank” for my bday but I had scored a SPRING KING after watching your show a few months ago so.... I had to chill 😄. Love your show though and hearing about all these affordable pedals/newer brands/pros and cons/and yeah I love to hear them because brands like JOYO I don’t get to try locally. I know a lot of people get pissed because they say this show immediately sends the prices of there fav cheapo brand like JOYO through the roof. I’m not sure it does in the “long game”. I play the “long game” when it comes to pedals 😄 CHEERS and yes Neil Young and Pearl Jam!!!! Good moment in time my mother’s favorite growing up playing with one of my favorite grunge/alternative acts was very cool.
Great video Josh. I love that you're so humble about other brands and their work. You forgot to mention that the Cab Box have midi too.
Excellent overview, Josh. I have been playing with the Joyo XVI and Uzi for a few months and really enjoy the Uzi. About to try the Taichi based on your review.
Franz Ferdinand and Sparks released an album as FFS. Very much worth a listen.
JHS has dropped a video, choose your path:
- I guess she price of X is about to sky rocket on reverb 🤣🤣🤣
- I love how Josh praises other companies, i dont yet know it but i have been subtly incentivised to buy into the brand etc..
- 5G can't melt school shooters
I bought my first JHS pedal specifically because he is cool to other companies.
Cringe
Trunk McEight nope, you just didn’t get it...
Trunk McEight
You’re not alone. I don’t get it either.
As always, a great video Josh!!! Thank You!
I've have just learned of this channel and binged some of your videos and you have a lot of integrity! i definitely want to buy more jhs pedals
„XVI“ probably stands for „16“ ...as in 2x8 (=octaves)
mind=blown
Man you stole my chance to be a smartass
Wished Josh included Joyo amp character series in this. I had the American Sound for years, running it straight through my interface and i got a Fender amp to record for less than $40. Loved it so much.
I love the American Sound. As someone who plays both in church and small venues I often have to play direct and the Mesa Boogie Mark V 25 is way too loud even in 10 watt mode. The American Sound makes going direct passable and for me that’s the highest complement. I have normally loathed going direct.
@@MrSpeed-lt8gr yes, it's really good at doing its job, maybe to us guitarists we can (i can't though my ears' not that good) differentiate between it and real fender amps, but to average listeners it will just sound rounded and clear enough, and that's the point.
I’ve heard you talk down about your guitar playing a few times and I think you’re nuts. You’re a great guitarist! I love the melodies that seem to come out of you non stop!
Thanks for sharing, these are really, really nice! That Uzi sounds really cool, lots of tones to play with. Love the Aquarius and Atmosphere too and really liked the Zip amp as well. Okay, they're all really nice, especially for the money! Cheers!
Man, like most probably wrote before me, someone who's in a business of selling something and takes the time to make a video about another brand selling the same type of goods and praises them like this deserves the upmost respect and credibility, and to have a full and meaningful life with all the best. Kudos, your videos rock and so do you. Cheers
Hey Josh, would love too see you do a video on NUX pedals. I have the Atlantic delay and reverb, I got it simply because my echo puss doesn't have a tap tempo. One of the cheapest pedals on my board and it's super impressive, I play phsyc rock with my band but often play alot of blues and funk and wow it's versatile. It's realy something I think you would be impressed with, as a luthier I deal with the typical guitar "myths and bullshit" every day, if you put a blindfold on those people I reckon anyone could mistake it for a very high end pedal.
Good video, cheers! The more affordability options for younger players the better I say.
Thank you for "busting" us with that Cab Sim. Seriously - I love how far this concept has come and you knew that if you told us up front people would have already been influenced negativity against it. Great sounds and I appreciate all the information you provide for us. Thank you always.
Also favorite collaboration: when Pat Metheny Group collaborated with David Bowie for the "Falcon and the Snowman" soundtrack.
I love that you are always talking about great pedals that you don't make. I wish the guitar manufacturers would be more like all you pedal guys and know they can appreciate something great, even if they aren't the ones making it. Btw, bought my first JHS pedal recently. Wow! Why did that take so long! AT+ Amazing!!
The fallout 4 comment was too funny lol
haven't we all
If only he had said new Vegas.... Oh well XD
same here. . war never changes. and what's with all the tv's in the tree? And I'm am saddened to say I believe I am a Gen 4.
I've had a Joyo vintage overdrive for years. It's as good as old Ibanez Tube Screamers, easily. It was thirty nine bucks. Nice to see Josh giving them support!
Love it Josh! I have SEVERAL Joyo pedals, including the Preamp House running into the CAB BOX. The CAB BOX is simply an amazing tool! I have the Aquarius and Atmosphere, as well as the Tauren, which is a nice gainy Klon klone for me anyway, and the Taichi, which appears to be a Zen Drive type of pedal. Love that you aren't afraid to demonstrate other brands, you are truly amazing!
I own the JOYO Vision R-09; and it is one of the best ambient multi effect pedals I have played! Great tones, with some of the pedals reviewed here, built in. I love the low bit rate, and octave effects. I can also switch between series and parallel in the pedal. I love JOYO!
The Galaxy setting on the Aquarius sounds close one of Adrian Belew’s signature tones. Add some volume swells and it could be convincing as his sound from Naive Guitars.
I have most of the pedals in this video. The Atmosphere and the Preamp House (not featured here obviously) are absolutely stellar pedals and mainstays in my amp-less rig. I'm so stoked you made this video, I feel more validated now haha. Love your work mate! 🖤
Same. I have like 7 or 8 of these. The Preamp House got replaced by a Hotone AMP but I'd use it again in a heartbeat.
The Vision, Uzi, ZIP, Atmosphere, and Taichi are my favorites
Hotone Binary amp? Over preamp house?
@@adamstein9333 Very similar pedals, and I tried them both. Preamp House won for me, but it was close.
Really cool episode. I look forward to checking some of these out!
Great guide to these pedals - Thanks Josh! I absolutely love the ‘Merkin Ball’ single/EP - was brought up on this, Ten, Vs and Vitalogy from an early age! Happy memories!
Pink Floyd and Incubus : Wish You Were Here
Yeah - you’re right! They‘be already cross pollinated! 😜
Yo yo yo you’re on to something
I'm making a driagam of this
So favorite crazy collaboration is kurt cobain and william s burroughs. They released a track together The Priest They Called Him.
rrrRRrrrReally? ΑΓΙΑ ΤΡΙΑΣ ΕΛΕΗΣΟΝ ΗΜΑΣ!
Almost any collaboration with Burroughs was brilliant.
Love this channel. I just ordered a morning Glory pedal cause reviews are good and also this company seems to be a great company. Thank you Josh
thank you josh for featuring this budget pedals..
fan from Philippines
"I Got Id" is one of my favorites, certainly a favorite song from Pearl Jam. I must point out, though, that the "Id" is as in the "Id, Ego and Superego" (I believe they're all Freudian references). It's a fantastic song. I'm really glad I found your channel. Not only do I love your insight as to the history of pedals, but how they're made and your reviews. I don't see you reviewing your 'competitors' pedals; I assume that you do very well as a manufacturer of pedals and that your love for them transcends the boundaries of competition. I pray you never stop adding content. I've not seen one single video that you've made that wasn't worth the watch. Rock on!
Just watched this and was gonna post same comment.
The Atmosphere is a box of wonders. With my 12-string guitar I've had endless fun without even exploring all it can do. Right now it's on my MEL9 to tweak those Mellotron sounds. It's a keeper.
Update: these days the MEL9 goes through a Hall of Fame 2 and the Atmosphere serves the guitar. Still finding fascinating and useable sounds. Looks like an excellent brand.
I have a tc electronics flashback, do I need the joyo delay too?
@@MerchantsofSolace The delay is the Aquarius. I don't have any experience of that one.
Yeah realized that after
I was just thinking how cool an episode this would be and suddenly I get the notification. Awesome stuff, thanks.
I have the Atmosphere on my board right now. Great post-punk, Interpol-esque tones. Much love for it.
I've bought a atmosphere.
And I'm love.
Also Tom Waits on Primus' "Tommy the Cat" is a must listen
Tom waits anything is a must listen and if it’s primus coattails of a deadman where Tom helps roast Courtney love is probably my first pick.
Really pleased I came across this, been looking for a multi-modulation pedal that didn't break the bank so looked into the Joyo Vision and now just waiting for it to be delivered.
Was wondering which budget pedal to go for our Klon shootout and you filled in that gap with the Tauren. Thanks for bringing to the fore so many pedals that would otherwise go unnoticed. Just placed an order for the Paul Gilbert Distortion and the Bonsai for 2 upcoming review episodes on our channel as well. Keep up the great work.
I've been curious about these, I'm glad we get a chance to see how you use them.. But Josh, I'm confused about calling them budget. Except for the XVI, these are in the price realm of similar BOSS pedals, and the multi function ones are marginally cheaper than their Electroharmonix equivalents.
I actually prefer “Long Road” from that single. Best collaboration for me has to Mad Season, a one off album with Mike from Pearl Jam, Layne from Alice In Chains, the drummer from Screaming Trees and John Baker Saunders, a really great bassist (the world lost both Layne and John too soon to overdoses). It’s probably the best album to come out of the whole “Grunge” era because they used a freakin’ vibraphone on some tracks! What?!
Disturbingly unknown/underrated 90s album.
Thanks for another informative video. I remember when I went through the military "encryption black box repair technician" course (circa 1982). On one of the assignments, we were given a nameless coverless guitar pedal. Every group was given a different pedal. We had to document how electronic signals can be manipulated and modified. We had to draw a schematic, and explain how our assigned guitar pedal worked and what it did. Very good lesson. I decided I liked playing with guitar pedals much more than encryption equipment.
I’ve been waiting for this episode Josh. Thank you for it. I love Joyo pedals. And because of your willingness to support other companies I will most certainly buy one of your JHS ones when I can swing it. Probably the PG-14.
They decrease the sound when you activate them
I use a Joyo Ultimate Drive with my bass. Great overdriven bass tones for less than 40 bucks.
Same here. It’s a decent enough ocd clone for guitar no doubt, but I wasn’t using it and just threw it on a little bass rig on a whim and just like that it had its purpose.
The UD is great, everything from transparent boost to fuzz in one pedal. I love mine.
Hmm. I just replaced my UD with a Plumes. Maybe I should donate it to the bass rig.
Joyo is a great manufacturer. I’ve been collecting them for a while, I’ll try to use it more though. That UZI pedal is brilliant! Gotta get one now
Thanks for your support on JOYO, you can find a girl Cindy Fang on Facebook, she has promotion codes from JOYO brand store.
I would also like to buy that Uzi, I heard somewhere it is a Friedman BE-od clone but with a normal price
Srdjan Teofilovic I though they sounded close hahaha nice to know it’s actually a clone.
JOYO Direct hey Joyo, I have your Trem, Chorus, Sweet Baby, & Vintage Overdrive. Big Fan. Do you have a harmonic Tremolo?
How do I contact Cindy Fang?
This is honestly the best channel all my questions my wondering about this and that N stuff. Its great ❤
Wow, thank you!
I bought the Aquarius because of this video, I just got it today and I already love it! Thank you!
“I Got Id” is one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs of all time. I’ve always pronounced it as “Id” (as in: Freud’s Id, Ego and Super-ego) and not I.D. (as in: identification). In any case. It absolutely rocks!!!
It actually is pronounced as "Id" and not "I.D."
Josh was wrong. And that's okay. LOL
Yeah I've always gone with Freud on that one. Good to know I'm correct
Wikipedia agrees with you too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Got_Id
I always assumed it was 'I Got Sh*t' and Id was some kind of edit or joke, kind of like 'Waif Me' on some versions of In Utero.
murillo237 Agreed! There is definitely that too. In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s how Eddie sings it in the track. :) But that would also mean my pronunciation choice is closer to the intended sound. Haha. It’s obviously not a big deal, just a fun debate. :)
"I'm hip I know it's a video game. I haven't played it because I've been playing Fallout 4 for seven years...." I have found my people
I'm still playing fallout 4.
I've been playing Diablo II for decades. I still suck at it, bit I've found a work-around to compensate for my lack of ability.
Just went out today and locally found/ bought a supreme fuzz, and the cheese ball ...
I now have my first jhs pedals 😭😭😭💕 thank you so much for your dedicated work for the tones.
Man what a great video. Been a Joyo user for years. Toured across the country with them. People look at my board and are like whaaaaaat?! Also PJ Merkinball is an all time fave. You hit 2 of my faves in one fell swoop. I can remember first time I heard it and it blew my mind. Another great PJ collab is them and Cyprus Hill on the Judgment Night Soundtrack called Real Thing.
David Bowie and Nine Inch Nails, Live. SOOOO GOOD!!!
Josh, seriously, we need a "If it sounds good it is good" t-shirt....My wallet will not thank you, but I will and get a XX-Large
I’ve tried the Aquarius. Great pedal. Extremely useful and very well built. Nice range of delay sounds and they all sound awesome. The looper works perfectly. The light is also a nice bonus which I think you forgot to mention. Very rugged and definitely feels like a much more expensive pedal.
Great video. I've been eyeing some of the pedals in that line for a minute but haven't gotten to try any yet.
I'm a big fan of the Robert Plant/Allison Krauss collab album. Definitely worth a listen if you haven't heard it!
When a boutique pedal builder that currently builds some of the best pedals in the world says your budget pedals are good, you know you are doing it right
Josh knows that a rising tide raises all ships. If he can get people addicted to pedals they will be interested in the hobby forever.
Dude, I'm sooo glad you do these videos. Not everyone can drop 3 bills on stuff just to be unimpressed...especially by a bass player. But it's nice to hear someone not count these cheaper models out. I've been turned onto the HoTone Skyline series lately...again, they're also no joke...I wish they had this stuff 25 years ago 🥺
Really enjoyed the video, thanks!
Bizarre collaboration that I love: Lulu
U2 and BB King - When love comes to town.
fall out boy. you had me rolling on your analogies. I am officially a joyo collector ,starting today, because of you. Keep up the great work!
When he started playing through them, I was like, "yep". Especially the atmosphere 👌🏾
Videos like this are why Josh is awesome. It's also one of the reasons I own JHS pedals.
Favourite weird collaboration: Helmet w/ House of Pain, Just Another Victim
Was that from the Judgement Night soundtrack? That had a ton of off-kilter and great collaborations for such a mediocre movie (Sorry Denis Leary).
The Booyah Tribe(?)/Faith No More collab was actually fun. Wasn’t there a Sonic Youth/Cypress Hill cit that was decent as well?
This guy, Josh Scott droppin the Chris Farley reference like a martini glass at a Christmas party.
he kinda looks like Chris if you squint your eyes a little.
some nice sounding pedals there. particularly loved your 'record time'. Pearl Jam rules! fell in love with the chicago '95 version of 'i got id' long ago. thanks!
No just a pedal show, but also a great way of doing business in a creative way. " When you operate from the competitive mind, you focus almost exclusively on you. However, when you are operating from the perspective of the creative mind, you become focused on leaving the impression of increase in everything you do. - Bob Proctor". Very well done JHS! Keep it up!
I love you josh for the Chris Farley coffee crystals ref! "YOU LIED TO ME, SHUT YOUR YAPPER! AS GOD IS MY WITNESS!"
my favorite weird collaboration is the album "A Ass Pocket of Whiskey" by R.L. Burnside and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, released on Matador in 1996. Blues purists might cringe, but it’s some amazing raw stuff.
It’s not Blues, it’s rock’n’roll. 😁
Legendary album
My local shop here in New Zealand have the R series in stock. Thanks, great review.
I don't know how I missed this one before, but this was a great video. The 2 that stood out for me were the Aquarius and the Cab Box. I have a Joyo AC Tone, and I love it! I've used it just as a stand alone amp in a box, and it works great! Used it on my album that way, sometimes with a Digitech Mosaic into it. I was hesitant at first, but the more I find out about Joyo, the more impressed I am with them.
As for odd musical combinations, I'm really digging the 2 albums that Robert Plant and Alison Krauss have done together. I like the direction Plant has been going anyway, but those two together are mind-boggling and inspiring.
I had to show my wife the “if it sounds good” jingle. She didn’t seem as tickled as I am but still, great jingle.
my wife did actually laughed when she heard that :))))
Coolest collaboration: Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue
The bad seeds in general, with Nick and Blixa from einstürzende neubauten
Just being in the same zip code with Nick Cave makes almost anybody cooler..🤘
Jeff Buckley and Liz Fraser of Cocteau Twins
Robert Smith and Billy Corgan :)
Thought about buying all of these to replace my ME-80.... then realized I would be creating a JOYO 7.... "tomato tomahto"
Ya, I recently bought most of the "R Series" from Joyo. I have the preamp house, the cab box, the tauren, the uzi, the dark flame, the tai chi, the zip amp, the legal done and tonight also bought the narcissis chorus...lol. Love every one of them. AND YOU helped turn me onto to the Joyo line up !!! THX !!!
I spent January-February searching for the perfect budget pedals for my first board. I picked up the Aquarius and the Atmosphere. Now you proved me right!!
