      The only thing it makes sense getting as pedals is fuzz & analog chorus type things. There R good cheap 'analog-sounding' delays like from Mooer, but haven't found N E GR8 'modeler' chorus 4 sane price. The $trymon 4 instance doesn't sound than a $30 used analog chorus, but 10X the price. Would B nice if JHS got into making SOFTWARE 2 emulate things like the Danelectro Cool Cat & 'Memory Man', etc.

      Some of his jokes R like what U C in 'audiophile' $cams like $elling door knobs as 'speaker cable risers' & various 'equipment isolators' like spikes & goo & stuff. It's extra funny as some1 who worked with fancy gear at 'high end' shops & borrowing things, the Behringer EP2500 is a GR8 amp better than most, as R a lot of Sony receivers, & the best speaker cable is the copper 1 side, aluminum (or something gray) on the other = evens out the sound (sounds silly but true!) Best sounding guitar cable was super thin stuff, with tiny center braided copper wire & foil shield (no braid on outter return 'ground'). Bit noisy when moving it (with high gain) but more transparent sound. Pete thorn has a many cables demo where he proves the differences between what he selected.

    I used to be one of those people that constantly needed a fuzz or distortion with reverse reverb or delay going and maybe some vibrato for killer shoegaze tones. The problem was though, that I never grew in terms of playing, I was playing to the gigantic walls of fuzz rather than actually learning chords or notes. Johnny Marr of The Smiths inspired me to play cleaner and use light gain/or a compressor, chorus if I want modulation, and a bit of reverb or delay. Since then, while I’m admittedly mediocre at best, I’ve grown in terms of actually learning how to play guitar and not just strumming randomly to a swirling wall of noise.

      The JHS show is so wholesome. Even when the gear lust gets pretty thick, or the collecting bug gets a bit over the top, it just stays wholesome. That's kind of Josh's magic.

    This video was probably the best one ever.
    So I'm a gear head, and with Cars and home audio video equipment. For many years I have spent more time washing my car, waxing etc, changing cables and gear and tweaking the system with the home audio video gear , and with the pedalboard, Dude I have over the years went from pedals to a Multi effects unit, then back to pedals over and over then got a pedal switcher when they came out , then added multi effects pedals mixed with other pedals and it never ends. I spend more time thinking about all of that then actually playing guitar . I really need to spend more time practicing then messing with the gear. I definitely have issues.
    Dude I gotta tell you, I really enjoy all of your videos, your pedals and opinions on basically everything, Nice job man. Anyway I get it , We all buy pedals bigger pedalboards etc and I have been thinking about this for a long time. I want to get down to just Reverb , Delay, Chorus and maybe 1-3 Overdrive style pedals. But then you need a Buffer, a Noise gate a EQ pedal and then the madness starts. Then you think "well what if I want a Phaser or Flanger?"Then anxiety sets in and you put pedals back on your board. Why do we need 3 Delay pedals? Especially when one of them is a fully programmable and MIDI controllable Boss DD-500 that can basically recreate any Delay sound you could ever want. and so many more you will never need? Yet you want to put other Delay pedals? I think we as Guitarist and with Pedal issues need a special kind of therapy.

      Then turn the fuzz on and roll your guitar volume down (works better on single coil/strat, etc) and it will do the “clean up” to a great almost clean sound (think “Little Wing”)…and as you turn your guitar volume up…more and more until it’s full fuzzz, and all points in between.
