As I was watching the first jam part, my daughter leaned in and said “Whoa! Whoever is playing right now is SICK!” She’s seven and “sick” is her favorite new word. It’s fun in our house.
Fully sick
So Sick!
It’s a pretty sick word. Some might even call it Ill
My 5 year old says sick all the time too 😀 he also says he's a hacker genius. 🤣
like covid sick?
Do you know how crazy it is to go from modding pedals in a shed to collaborating with Boss. Amazing JHS just amazing
the drummer is on FIRE here--- first time I've heard him play like this.
Ya he’s not boom tap. He’s opening up.
he’s the new and improved “JHS Angry Drummer”
Nick is just so good at everything. And the mood of the drums matches the tone so well.
You're right
True!
Josh is an insanely tasteful guitarist. These short jams are always a joy to listen to!
That was my reaction too during the 2nd jam in particular.
I wish they’d make an album!!
It's better than listening to Rob Chapman)) I like shredding but...
He is absolutely one of my favorite guitarists. His playing is always inventive, surprising, and often just blistering. Josh kicks keister. I know he has no time, but that guy should really have a band. 😂

A few months ago I woke up with the JHS intro song stuck in my head. I could just not place it. It was driving me mad. It's a banger. I hummed it to friends and family for help. No one could place it. Today, I can finally rest.
😂
Alternate universe has a JHS Camera Show, I really love the episode where Nick develops his first roll of medium format SFX 200.
Would love to see him mount an RZ67 on his handlebars.
Who makes better bulk loaders? Chase Light or earthquake photo?
@@ProSimex84 no clue man. Haven't used 120 or 4x5 since 2010.
@@d.j.ashley it wasn't a serious question "Chase light" is chase bliss, ect.
@@ProSimex84 well damn lol. It's pretty apparent now 😂
I have an SD2! That turns a fender amp into a 3 channel rig. I always wondered why it wasn’t more popular.
JHS Show is such a highlight, incredible,funny and awesome. Makes me happy when I see a new episode.
Thank you!
Hearing you say "2017" followed by "Five Years ago" gave me a fight of flight response.
Time is going by wayyy too fast
Which did you choose?
@@eleven9286 I couldnt find any cheap flights so...
@@user-wv5gv3dw5u atta boy. Fight the power lol
Fast? 5 years ago Boss celebrated their 40th anniversary...time going by like light speed!
I love the parallel mode on the JB-2. It got me thinking and I set up a split signal on chain with a volume pedal on one side that allows you to mix an effect into your basic sound. Using it with an overdrive gives you a real time variable distortion for emphasising certain sections.
Gigrig have something that does this called the Wetter Box. You can use an expression pedal to control the mix. I have one, it's a cool utility. Not the cheapest solution but built like a tank!
Ooh i have everything needed to try this out, im gunna have to see how i like it for my rig.
I do have the original pigtronix disnortion that has fuzz and overdrive in parallel(or you can turn the gain all the way down on either to make them boosts) and they really sound great in parallel and definitely fills out the sound really nicely
I would have liked to see him do something more different with it.
The JB-2 is such an amazing pedal and the Red Remote pushes it to even greater heights. Never getting rid of mine.
Thought you did another one for a second there XD Always been interested in this pedal though, the angry charlie is one of those dream distortions to have, while the blue driver is a classic that I've still never tried myself. Plus its about half the price of getting both separately.
Been 5 years, time to do the sequel.
This is not an current 4/5 knob Angry Charlie circuit, he is not going to undercut his own product. But, the bread board PROTO AC circuit together with the BD 2 is a great thing! parallel mode is where it shines
I’ve been using the Angry Driver for the last 6 months or so and I love it. I’m putting together a nano+ board right now and having so many options in a single pedal is a huge space saver on a small board!
I was just searching for a demo video of yours for this the other day, glad it’s finally here! Also picked up a 3 series Chorus this week, what an excellent pedal.
Thank You.
I wish I could buy this, but I’m gonna be broke for awhile.
I’ll have to continue loving what I’ve got.
I really enjoy you guys putting yourselves out into the world.
Thx
One of the very best and a favourite of mine in my (large) Boss collection. Amazing tones and flexibility, Josh. Great work.
I bought this pedal about a year ago on reverb for $120, and somehow it was still unopened. Love this pedal though, it's so versatile!
This has been in my board for two years now and it's the best distortion pedal I've had so far. Thanks for the video Josh.
Bacana, esse é o melhor canal sobre pedais do UA-cam, sem dúvida! Parabéns!
I saw this in an Atlanta shop in October, searched for this exact video which was clearly not out yet, bought it anyway, and now am thrilled to see this video is here to validate my impulse decision 3 months later!
Well JHS you did it again. I really dig the demos showing the versatility and tone of all pedals you showcase. Just ordered one of these yesterday . This now brings my JHS collection up to 3. Colourbox v2 and the Artificial Blonde.
I LOVE this pedal in parallel mode. I fell in love with it all over again when I found a cool setting the other day - bass from the JHS circuit, with some sparkly overdrive on top from the Blues Driver. Such a full sound. Magnifique!
Very enjoyable episode. I have the Boss JB-2 Angry Driver and love it. It is probably the most versatile overdrive/distortion pedal I have. It has so many different options. You can get anywhere between slight tubey overdrive all the way to full blown insane distortion with this pedal. Much appreciated pedal. Thank you for your involvement with this great pedal. It brings a lot of excitement and joy every time I use it.
Christmas lights have actually been wired in parallel for decades now. That’s why they get brighter as the bulbs die rather than going out after the first one. Great video and pedal
Think he's just making a descriptive point.
@@superspit If he's trying to make a relatable point, anyone under 30 won't have ever experienced what he's describing
@@jackodonnell3463 that’s like saying going 🤙 to pretend you’re on a phonecall is “unrelatable” because younger kids don’t do that.
It’s not a universal thing, but in this day and age, nothing is. Dude’s coming from his own experience, and honestly, it’s a classic example that’s always used. And they do still sell cheap sets that go out when one bulb goes out.
And honestly, give young people *some* credit. I’m pretty sure they’ve seen Xmas movies that are older than they are. And some of them probably grew up with older sets that their parents or grandparents had.
Xmas lights are a trope that are constantly referenced when talking about series v parallel wiring. You’re just being pedantic for the sake of your own ego or something.
@@wokeupinapanic Oh I admit this is 100% pedantic.
It was so amazing to watch all the builders at the pedal party (at the bowling alley) so much respect was shown to Yoshi. I’m actually glad I dragged the whole BOSS Namm team to that party.
I literally bought one of these last week and I absolutely love it! Gives me an amazing, powerful, Marshallesque crunch tone that sits very nicely between my clean tone and high gain channel.
I had a friend come from the states and he had among other pedals an angry charlie (v2) and I played around with it, using it in the end as a "booster" pedal and before the main distortion, and the sound was devastating. Fell in love with it after that. Great work man.
The sound on “1000 punches” and “Orion’s Belt Buckle” was just fabulously unbelievable. Had to immediately rewind and listen to these again.
I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach it won’t be long before the JB-2 will be a permanent resident next to the Charlie Brown, Double Barrel, and AT+ (not to mention all the others) that are already here… I really thought I was covered on that end.
Apparently there is no such thing as “enough overdrives and distortion pedals” when you watch the JHS show.
On the other hand, you just *know* the moment I order it there will be a waza JB-2W announced…
Thanks Josh. I got this in 2018 not long after I seriously started getting back into guitar after some fallow years. This is the most versatile distortion I own. Pedals should inspire and those series and parallel settings give you a wealth of options that are so fun to play with. Thank you.
the second to last jam had me caught up reflecting and deeply considering things it was such a beautiful moment these videos are golden!
Awesome josh thank you man! I've been looking hard at this and the angry Charlie and will be pulling the trigger on one of them...great work as always...you are the benchmark for the nerds ...at least this one
Fingers crossed for a version 2 angry driver..lol ..I've been exploring the endless depths of the muffaletta for months..barely scratched surface yet...bravo man.. unbelievable pedal.. bonsai and packrat will be in my cabinet eventually as well...really no better bang for your $$ anywhere in the boutique pedal world..
I have been checking this pedal out online to potentially make it my 2nd pedal ever. Found one in my local store in Croatia and I need to go try it out (but I'll probably get it when I get there). On a different note, I have learned a tremendous amount from your videos -- many many thanks!
I never knew about this collaboration! How cool! Two awesome pedal companies working together I love it. I love that Boss wasn’t too big to do a compilation with JHS. Very cool
I love the Angry Charlie v3 and often use a BD-2 in front of it.
That bread board is so cool. I’m glad that you are so deep into pedal history..so many guitar collectors but I come here for pedal info
Great tones Josh & killer drum sounds too. I could easily hear more of JHS instrumental jams ... rock on 9O's forever !
Love hearing you talk about parallel drives. I bought a Boss LS-2 last year to experiment with parallel effects, and parallel drives quickly became my favorite use of that pedal. When I set it up, it always feels more complicated than I want to deal with, but the sounds can really be worth it.
Edit: Also, love the love for Fetch the Bolt Cutters. Incredible record.
Congratulations and welcome to Japan, Josh. I am happy this ultimate collaboration has come true!!
LITERALLY MY FAVOURITE OVERDRIVE PEDAL EVER
I seriously hope the JB-2 stays in perpetual production, it's easily the most versatile BOSS drive/dirt pedal ever and sounds incredible in front and and in the effects loop of basically *any* amp
Edit: shout outs to Rabea Massaad's video on this, sold me on the pedal and interestingly enough, his demo of the Charlie>BD-2 cascade was huge for me
Dear Josh; In my long life I have never fallen in love with a Geek effects pedal maker; until now. Yes, you are the apple of my eye. I am binge watching JHS video presentations. Thanks for all your work in making these presentations. BTW your lil drummer is so cute. lol
“Remember The 90’s” got me right in the feels…Nostalgia vibes just oozing from my headphones as it took me all the way back to January 2nd, 1990…the day I stepped up and became a man (first day in the Army).
Welp... there isn't anyone on the interwebz that makes these pedal demos so fun and gives us game too! Thank you for all you do, Josh.
This is definitely my next pedal. I have a JHS Andy Timmons and love the Angry Charlie circuit. I also love the old Boss Blues Driver. I tried one of these pedals at my local shop and was extremely impressed. It just checked all the right boxes. Incredible feat of engineering.
i can't wait to buy my first JHS pedal! I'm a proud supporter just a grain of sand on a beach of beautiful guitar expression. and the intro and outdoor theme songs are so amazing live you guys so much been watching so many videos and I love the album at the end that is am aging bonus
Bought this one last week and it's amazing!!! I like very very much the BD and AC modes, but the J->B mode is phenomenal! Pretty good result from this collaboration!
You sounded like Steve Howe with the slide
Killer jams in this video. Thanks Josh! I need one of these in my life...
Great Pedal - even BETTER Mamiya t-shirt!
I listened to the first track on that album and ya I’m hooked great record Josh!
Always loved “When The Pawn…”, but lost track of her, and look forward to checking out Fetch The Bolt Cutters - thank you!
Yoshi is such a nice guy, and has never failed to reply back and answer even the most silliest of questions I've sent him. A true legend in his field, and a lover of fine cuisine and wine apparently.
Great video Josh!
Thanks!
Yoshi is definitely in a league of his own! So wonderful.
Love this pedal!! So many options, clean to super crunch.
Such an awesome pedal, my band mate got one of these. Really impressive after messing with, so many textures and ways to use it.
Those drums are sounding particularly PUNCHY today. Awesome work as usual.
I love your jams! No rules, only soundexploring and The result is really good music AND unique! 💞🎸🎼🔦
”Play guitar, have fun with guitar, do it". Wise words!
NO WAY that the Angry Charlie is better than you having your children Josh. They might be the future JHS C.E.O.'s (God willing and with your blessing of course Josh ) if it is worth their time to continue your Superb Legacy of Excellence. If they're as adorable and hilarious as you dear Josh, (and I'll bet they are) we would be in for a major treat! Thank You Sincerely for all of your Extremely thoughtful, Honest and Supremely helpful and educational episodes of much appreciated electronic Artistry.
thanks for all the good shows + nice shirt btw
Just purchased the last unit of BOSS Angry Driver JB-2 at my local distributor in Malaysia. I'm just right on time.
It will be always in the box for sure.
The BOSS 40th Anniversary collection now completed.
Thank you for doing your thing.
It touches my world. ✊🏽
Very cool pedal. And big congrats on the huge monster collaboration.
Freaking awesome! Excellent! Congratulations!
I bought a JB-2 a couple of years ago to have both an Angry Charlie and a Blues Driver when needed. At first I did just that, used the Red Remote to switch between the two and was happy. Soon I started experimenting with the series and parralell modes and found I love to push the Blues Driver into the Angry Charlie. So just a great collaboration pedeal. Thanks!
Wow, these are some all around fresh tones you got with that two pedals!
I've had this pedal on my radar for a while now, and when I cleared off my credit card last week, I took the plunge. Have to say I am very pleased. Only one gripe I have is that there's a lot of background in the series modes (I use P90) but a noise gate sorts that out with no bother. Great pedal. And my first toe dip into JHS stuff. Thanks Josh.
This was one of, if not the first, pedal I bought a couple years back when I started looking at pedals again. Very versatile and prob my first choice to take to a jam. My old band may be starting up again and this pedal could basically deliver all the drive sounds I need. Great pedal!
Love the Mamiya shirt, Josh! My first camera was an old 70s Mamiya 35mm.... which is still limping along to some of my shoots when I can find the odd film roll.
This is my favorite pedal, no joke. I think the best feature is being able to switch among the two pedals with different settings or stack or series. It's so versatile and there's not a bad sound in it. I would love to see more collaborations between your two.
He has the box🤭
Great show guys
I watch it for hours, I’m learning heaps, keep ‘em coming 👏🏻
Thankyou
Super cool. Thanks for sharing
Love your channel and your RecordTimeRecommandations!!! Nice F.Apple-album💿💚💿 I hope to buy one of your nice JHS-Pedals soon‼️🎶🎸👞
Just got mine today, played about an hour and frankly, I don't want to stop. It's just so much fun! You're essentially getting TWO great pedals and all their combinations AND... the parallel mode. This one is huge for me. It sounds and feels so damn good. Couldn't resist and hooked it up to my DD-5 in Reverse mode :)
Folks, if you love drive pedals... just get this one, you won't regret it.
Nice!!!
Just dropping in to say you guys are awesome. Everyone at Boss and JHS, you people are amazing.
Damn talk about timing, I just searched up the angry driver and you just happened to upload a video about it lol
Great episode! You don't push your own story enough!
Love Nicks groove on the first jam. Yeah. He is definitely on fire after the Christmas vacation.
2022 is starting off fine. Great jams dudes.
Congratulations, and I really do love mine! I am very hard to please when it comes to overdrives and distortions. Lots of them either leave me wanting or hating. I used an Aguilar or some whacky 4558 off brand that I loved and an old Rat. Then I started modding & building my own pedals, with the same results.
I have the JB2 and I love it! Favorite setting is parallel mode. I honestly use the Blues Driver setting for most things, but if I need my guitar to stand out and be full, the parallel is where it's at. So many possibilities with tones though.
no lie this is my favorite distortion pedal. i got to play a buddy's JCM800 years ago and could not get the sound out of my head. and when i tested this out, i'd finally found it again. so thank you, i can get that sound without shelling out for a JCM800. probably not unusual but i use it for atmospheric black metal. the harmonics from the JCM distortion are perfect for tremolo picking, and blending it parallel with the blues driver side did WAY more for it than i expected it to.
The entire process must have been so amazing for you and you can see the joy on your face. WellDoneYou.
Angry Driver is on my "pedals to get when I have a bit more money after my debts are paid off" list. And I just paid them off on the 1st of June just gone.....
Thank you so much for sharing the history lesson and the demonstration. The pedal is very versatile and now I need one lol! You asked so I will also say that my favourite Fiona Apple album is her first, Tidal. I bought my first CD player in my last year of high school in 1993 and Tidal was the second CD I ever bought. And of course, because I only had two CDs, I played the heck out of it and it is still great today.
Really col video guys. That last jam really had me thinking Pearl Jam.
I have played around with this pedal a bit and even managed to get an HM-2 Buzzsaw type sound out of it.
These might have been your best jams yet 🤘
I absolutely LOVE Fetch The Bolt Cutters. It is one of the best albums of the last 10 years (or more?!). However, Tidal is still my favorite. I’m not sure how much of it is nostalgia (I listened to it A LOT when it came out) but there is just something magical about that album. Great episode. It certainly piqued my interest in the Angry Driver. I recently purchased my first JHS pedals (the Colour Box V2 and the Clover) and I am very happy with them. Thank you!
I dig the parallel mode! It's an easy way to get a bit of the flavor of running two amps without the ridiculous hassle of running two amps. Incidentally, One of my favorite sounds is using my Bass BMP set to low-ish gain on the clean blend setting (functionally, a parallel setting) into an AC15 that's just starting to break up. The way the clean & fuzz meld together while maintaining some distinction is pretty wonderful.
Every Fiona album is my favorite! I’m a huge rock nut but her albums for me are right up there with my zep Hendrix and rush records. Purely original musical genius!
I love Fetch the Bolt Cutters! One of my favorite albums of 2020! It’s tough to pick a favorite song, but “Heavy Balloon” pops up in my Spotify shuffles a lot, and I’m never mad about it.
One of my favorite pedals on my board for awhile now! 🤘
the parallel mode takes you to different realms / love it!
One of the best shows on the whole UA-cam guys!
Best video in a minute thanks guys
You are way cool man and your ‘show’ is a great service to humankind.
Dude sweet mamiya shirt! And great video about an awesome pedal too, of course.
I love the JHS Show.
Congratulations on the collaboration with Boss and the incredible Angry Driver pedal.
I have this pedal for a long time. I love it. It's my "daily driver" :D
One thing I would have to say, if I may, is that having on/off option included in all selector positions is a small short coming.
I have an ES5 also, I would love to be able to have 1 selection where I can select red/blue/purple by using CTL and the Boss on/off switch. I can turn off the loop if I want the pedal off.
Anyway, great video about my fav pedal, thank you!
Wow! I forgot about this pedal. What a great demo! I believe I need one of these now!
Congratulations bro you deserve it!
RECORD TIME SUGGESTION:
HUM’s “You’d Prefer An Astronaut”
Please check it out if you haven’t. This album takes “shoegaze” and smashes it with walls of trippy driven guitars, backed by unique, jaw dropping, drums. It a perfect use of the “shades of colors” sound, and “beautiful quiet to heavy” formula. It blows me away that after 20 something years of listening to this album,Im still hearing new sounds and textures. They are still so influential to me and countless others..
Have you heard of the Leyland Pedals Hum Along? I have one and really love it. It’s a clone of the DF-2.
I get this pedal few weeks ago, just the best pedal I never had so far
Very poweerfull
Bravo
