"I can make a clean boost in like 10 seconds with a single transistor." Oh hell yeah. After I had built a fuzz face and a rangemaster in high school I hacked together a clean boost with a mosfet, a couple of resistors, a 9 volt battery connector and a piece of perfboard about the size of a US penny that I found while cleaning out the physics lab at school. This all hid neatly in my strat and was my "secret sauce" for a few years. The gain was controlled via the guitars volume knob and the battery was only connected if the guitar was plugged in. I was pretty proud of myself at the time, and looking over what I just wrote I guess I still am.
Highlights of this episode: 1. Hearing Josh’s pronunciation of “Thames” 2. Seeing the Chase Bliss Preamp sliders magically move Worth every second of my time for these two events. Thanks Josh!
I recently found this channel… I’m 62 years old I’ve been playing guitar since I was eight… I am addicted to this JHS… They bring so much information and joy ,thank you guys... The Chase Bliss was amazing...Take care everyone
@@guestivity2063 Yeah, I'm 28 and most younger people these are full on into amp sims. Yeah, I think they sound killer, but I feel like the sounds I can get through pedals to be much more unique as well as more fun to experiment with and dial in- I'm not relying on the same algorithm everybody else is using! I'm the asshole that likes to be different just because lol
This episode is to die for. Classic Josh and the crew at their very best. And of course, the content is excellent. Better then watching cable Television.
I love how both dudes at the panel are perfectly acceptable parallel universe versions of Josh and Nick if only the tiniest detail of the past had been different
Oh my God, I love how you had two regular dudes, and then that ridiculous character "Addison" in the middle! And what a crazy costume too! I don't know where you come up with this stuff.
This was informative and entertaining. Brilliant. Thank you for making me laugh with your "panel of experts" and putting a smile on my face. You have a fan for life. Cheers!
T-bone needs a consistent spot on every episode going forward, his own spin off, 1-5 t-shirts, and his own pedal asap. (Introducing the JHS T-Bone: All American, small batch, handmade parts that do... Something to your guitar tone... Something real!)
i've learned throughout the years (and thanks to this channel) that price doesn't matter, i buy pedals because i like their visuals, the mythology behind it (besides of how they sound of course) but i could play with just about any gear at that point and nobody would tell the difference. listening to that first jam though, that bass & drum mix is insanely good, no wonder any pedal sounds killer with you guys
This is my favorite UA-cam video in history. I've probably watched it a dozen times and it still cracks me up. PLEASE let these characters come back to talk about more expensive pedals (like the King of Tone).
Totally why i stopped going on The Gear Page. I started getting swept up in the hype and spent more money than I should have :( Sold all my Boss pedals because of that and have had to buy them all back.
I come from an age where we didn’t have ear protectors and common sense. This means I no longer can tell the difference between a Klon and a Zoom 505 any more.
One of my favorites so far. Nailed it on the recap. Be a snob if that’s what you wanna be, but be truthful with yourself about it. Also, Nicks heartfelt realization at the end was Epic. Hope you guys work together forever, y’all are an awesome team. Pretty sure your videos give the world hope
Josh's rant about the, what I learned today, "Apparently Overhyped & Overrated Klon Centaur" at 21:32 thru 23:55 was absolutely amazing and hilarious! XD
I can't believe no one has discovered the secret to why Klons sound so good... Tone Metal. Guitar makers seek out the perfect tone woods but most pedal makers (including JHS) just slap their circuits into any old enclosure. Not so with The Mighty Klon! The atomic structure of their boxes is what totally makes this pedal worth $6000.
I once read that Eric Johnson would take the screw out of his fuzz face and use a rubber band to hold it together, because he insisted that the screw affected his tone...
@@creamydistortion absolutely true. And the battery type makes a difference in the Germanium fuzz pedals. Lead acid and alkaline sound different. It’s kind of weird and I didn’t believe it until I tried it. It’s not with all pedals though. Sometimes you don’t notice much of anything. And I’ve measured the voltage with a meter. When a 9v starts to dip around 7.5 -8VDC you can hear the difference. It has less of a hard edge to the fuzz. Some people feel that it’s a little more musical. Notice in the video about the Boss Tonebender that it has a voltage sag switch. It’s there for a reason.
That is the hype. No one is going to spend 6k on a pedal and say it sucks. They are going to tell everyone it has magic inside. The Klon is the Dumble of the pedal world.
I spent $1200 of my student loans on sparkly yellow Effectrode Helios tube fuzz like Gilmour used. It’s like jewelry it’s so beautiful. Since then I’ve bought & sold 3 boards of pedals, but the Helios stays as my favorite. …bc the next Helios that came up sold for like $350, so if I’m doomed to lose that much $ on it, I might as well have the pedal to show for it. Funny thing though, it also meant I kept it long enough to learn it, & it’s now my fave bc of its fuuunky fat fuzz tone.
This is one of the best UA-cam videos I’ve ever watched I mean ever on any subject! It was funny, insightful interesting and even moving! I enjoyed it so much thank you. !!
Now that I've finally got my Blues Jr figured out I sometimes plug straight in. But I also love fuzz, delay, and have figured out how to get a deliciously squishy high gain overdrive with a morning glory into an OCD. I won't be dropping the pedals anytime soon.
This is officially the best JHS video of all time, effervescing to the surface of the deep mountain stream of burbling crystal awesome that is JHS’ back catalog.
Always loved this episode and i came back just to say that i just bought myself a Klone. Just snagged up an alchemy modded EHX Soul Food and its wiiiiicked nice. thank you Josh for slapping it into my head that i have to turn up the gain knob for the diodes to work. (well, ngl the gain knob is all the way up and probably never coming down) but at any rate thank you very much for at least educating me before i forgoed, forwent? whatever- before i impulse buy the funny metal boxes
I've been strictly MFX for a years. Boss GTs, Helix, Fractal.. but thanks to Josh i just ordered a DBA Fuzz Gun. I think I'll be building a pedalboars because of this channel. I'm pretty sure I need a Bonsai in my life..
That Ampeg Scrambler box is cursed, Josh. No single piece of ordinary cardboard lasts that long in the music world, not without demonic intervention at least.
Addison’s face when the panel starts arguing about the Klon clone in the Boss OD200, had me ROLLING! 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve bought like 3 JHS pedals because I love this channel so much and love the originality and chemistry of everyone. Thank y’all for being one of my fav channels!
This is a fantastic episode. Great jams - great coverage of pedals and even better the panel. Josh did a great parochial, insular, conspiracy-loving, pedal-forum-disciple; Adison, presented the practical real world view very well; Nick channeling John Malkovich, acting as a snobby 'lawyer to the doctors' was Gold.
I built myself a Scrambler clone and I love it. And I must say that the two controls are what makes it different from other octave fuzz, but I don't think that 2000 is a reasonable price. But we have to admit that the enclosure is like the best ever
This is the best piece of internet I’ve ever had the pleasure of coming across, if Josh doesn’t bring back his character he played I will riot and storm the JHS building and then very politely and respectfully ask for him to bring it back.
Being from England, hearing it pronounced "Henley-on-Thames" hurt even though that's the logical pronunciation. Just for future reference it would be said, "Henley-on-Tems". Great video though, was a really thought provoking panel you had there :)
Really hard to pick a favorite part about this episode... Traxton St. Clair trying to hold back laugher every time T-Bone Drexel is speaking on the panel, T-Bone eating a Whopper when talking about the Klon, Josh saying "If you have a Klon and you use it as a boost, we're making the choice to still love you," Traxton not only wanting to not only sound good but feel superior in every possible way, the look on Addison's face at 34:48...the list could go on for days. This channel is one of the best things to ever happen to UA-cam. 😂 Keep up the awesome pedal building and the awesome shows about not only yours, but other manufacturers' work!
Aww, Denison Witmer! "Safe Away" was such a formative album for me - "Are You a Dreamer?" too. A big way I learned to deal with process my own emotions. Glad to be reminded of his newer stuff. Also, the panel was hilarious. I clicked on this a bit reluctantly - why do I need to learn about pedals I'll never buy? - but this was so hilarious and entertaining - and still educational.
"Are you not excited? Hey, I'm sorry that I love something and you don't like it - ok..." Just yes to everything here. You guys have so much fun and I'm suddenly wishing my work was like this everyday. Go on
Great stuff, I love the negative commentary from the judges. I'm thinking of typing some of it in a search engine and seeing how many exact matches I get from guitar forums 😄
Best use of ring mod effect (imo) is on "visions of the emerald beyond' by Mahavishnu Orchestra from 1974. First time I heard that record played on a buddy's crosley suitcase record player I was like 'holy shit wtf is happening rn did someone just tear a hole in the space time continuum?' You should do that one for a record time or somethin'. Its too insane for words.
Juan Alderete used a wild ring mod sound on his bass for Conjugal Burns by the Mars Volta. I don't think his pedal cost $2000 bucks, but it still wasn't cheap iirc
I love my Automatone MkII. I’d say it’s worth the money for sure! It replaced two overdrives and a fuzz on my pedalboard (which saved a little space). Not to mention the very useful design of the presets and visual sliding faders!
This was so good, and hilarious. And nothing makes me feel more warm and fuzzy than "there are so many great options out there. Find what you love." If it sounds good, it is good. And be honest about it.
A coffee in my town is 1,50€ For a maximum of 7,50€ a pedal, I guess all I can allow myself to purchase is a transistor and a pot to make a DIY boost... Maybe it's time to move someplace where coffee is more expensive
Probably the best sounding, rarest, expensive because they're just amazing, pedals has to be the DOD fx66 Flashback Fuzz. Selling for well over $7k if you're lucky enough to find one. ...I just happen to have one such remarkable pedal, that'll make you sound like a guitar god, for sale. ...Bidding starts at $6k... Believe the hype...it took me the better part of a minute to create it.
This channel is fantastic
uh better than urs uh
Right!
You are also fantastic my dude
Well said.
I love how they constantly infuriate The Gear Page and all of the other snobs 😂 it’s truly beautiful
“Why go cheap and be a creep when you can spend money and sound like honey” honestly my favorite biblical passage bless you all
I definitely want to party with that a-hole. He’s insufferable but the drinks and other sundries would be amazing.

Who wants honey as long as there's some money?
"I can make a clean boost in like 10 seconds with a single transistor."
Oh hell yeah.

I just bought a Squier bullet to try and teach myself this kind of stuff that sounds bad ass
So maybe you should sell it on or make your own guitar and who knows maybe even Matt Bellamy himself will buy his next guitar from you! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
But is a buffer in it? If not, then why boost? 😄
Impressive man..I hope u build circuits for a living..sounds like u should be...
This is "Boss" boss. Have you published the schematics?
T-Bone Drexel needs his own UA-cam channel!!!!!
WOW! I never wanted a Klon until now! DIdn't know it could work as a clean boost - I just went and bought two! Thanks JHS!
“I really care about my tone so I’m going gold tip cables straight into my Dumble” that killed me too funny
Hemp cones bro. Hemp... Cones.
Came for the pedals, stayed for the comedy
@@SpinandThrowDiscGolf Smoking a couple cones will make any rig sound better than any Dumble for sure
A couple cones make my Peavey Bandit sound like a JCM800
"I not only want to sound good, I want to feel superior in every way." Classic. So good!
So classic how they parody the main types of pedal commenters
...and then the two unlikely allies throughout most of the discussion end up in irreparable odds at the end.
Truly, classic.
Agreed.
Highlights of this episode:
1. Hearing Josh’s pronunciation of “Thames”
2. Seeing the Chase Bliss Preamp sliders magically move
Worth every second of my time for these two events. Thanks Josh!

Sometimes I’ll put the JHS Show on the TV to relax before taking a nap… and “He Has the Box” never fails to wake me from a dead sleep every time
This episode is to die for. Classic Josh and the crew at their very best. And of course, the content is excellent. Better then watching cable Television.

I love how both dudes at the panel are perfectly acceptable parallel universe versions of Josh and Nick if only the tiniest detail of the past had been different
Dude, Nick was on fire in this episode! Genuinely, a hysterical character and performance. LOVED IT.
Mr. JHS is a natural vlogger. Intellectual. Straight-to-the point. No BS! Carry on JHS and staff!
Oh my God, I love how you had two regular dudes, and then that ridiculous character "Addison" in the middle! And what a crazy costume too! I don't know where you come up with this stuff.
Addison: "are you sure you can get a double-wide for 6,000?", Josh: " Have you seen where I grew up?" LOL
Man, down here in South America, $6K is a little fortune.
"Why go cheap and be a creep, when you can spend money and sound like honey?"
This is t-shirt material...
Love this lol
I’d buy that.
its stupid
It's awesome!
+1
Nick was ridiculously good and hilarious in this one.
The end argument about the Klon had me in tears, best show ever. You guys are nuts and I'm loving it. Keep it up!
“There’s an anger in me that can’t be quenched!!”
Thanks for taking the time to mark the chapters. It makes it really easy to go through and look for a particular pedal.
I have, 100%, been on threads with all 3 panel members here on TGP.
I appreciate the guys playing down the absurdities of each character.
Is Obese Mike still a wannabe cop over on the Geezer Page?
"Wampler used to make good stuff when he made it at home."
I am literally in tears Lmaoo
Josh playing the Klon as a clean boost is pure entertainment 😂
Simon Marcotte - Same with using his hand to operate an expression pedal.
#klonwithacleanboost
First JHS pedals video I watched. Safe to say I’m addicted to your channel/pedals.
"Line-666" is the funniest thing I've heard all year
This was informative and entertaining. Brilliant. Thank you for making me laugh with your "panel of experts" and putting a smile on my face. You have a fan for life. Cheers!
"Why buy cheap and be a creep, when you can spend money and sound like honey?" Best quote ever!
The quote of the year…
Ring modulation distortion sounds like a 56k modem logging into the world wide web!
Fantastic! 😎👍
I love that JHS employees not knowing the price of a cup of coffee is just canon now.
Why would they know the price of coffee?
Why would you ?
Stop wasting your money on coffee and go out and buy more pedals ?
Buy pedals, not coffeee
Brew your own coffee and spend the savings on dod pedals from the early 90s
If you have a blender strong enough, you can turn a klon into a cup of coffee
@@stanislavmigra nothing wakes you up in the morning like pedals. Your neighbors too.
This was the best guitar/pedal video I ever watched. That bit at the end about filling the void with pedals was nuts.
T-bone needs a consistent spot on every episode going forward, his own spin off, 1-5 t-shirts, and his own pedal asap. (Introducing the JHS T-Bone: All American, small batch, handmade parts that do... Something to your guitar tone... Something real!)

Consistent spot? Dude T-bone needs to have his own channel. LMAO
@ghost mall Is it gooped?
THERE IS AN ANGER INSIDE OF ME I JUST CANT QUENCH! lmao
If pedal were made of wood, manufacturers would've also sell you on the lie that "the tonewood of your pedal makes a difference"
i've learned throughout the years (and thanks to this channel) that price doesn't matter, i buy pedals because i like their visuals, the mythology behind it (besides of how they sound of course) but i could play with just about any gear at that point and nobody would tell the difference. listening to that first jam though, that bass & drum mix is insanely good, no wonder any pedal sounds killer with you guys
Agree 100%
Also nobody would tell the difference which pedal I play.
Because I can't play the guitar in general.
@@niasboiii lmao
This is my favorite UA-cam video in history. I've probably watched it a dozen times and it still cracks me up. PLEASE let these characters come back to talk about more expensive pedals (like the King of Tone).
An entire Analogman episode...
Watching the Klon break Josh's mind somehow never gets old
This is the entire Gear Page condensed into a 40-minute video. All the applause, gents.
Totally why i stopped going on The Gear Page. I started getting swept up in the hype and spent more money than I should have :( Sold all my Boss pedals because of that and have had to buy them all back.
"They're coming down a little bit [in price]" NOT ANY MORE, thanks to Mr. Josh and co!
*laughs at the idea that someone subscribes to this show and is hearing about the tb-2w for the first time today*
That panel of experts must really puts my mind at ease. Experts are what this channel have been missing.
This is the greatest video they have ever made. Period.
Put your money where your tone is.
We need a bloopers and outtakes of this comedy gold. How you guys kept straight faces is great.
Concept: Brilliant.
Execution of concept: Flawless.
More of this role play shenanigans, please.
19:24 as a bass player, Ampeg is the gold standard. I feel like there’s some sort of magic in all of their products. T-Bone aced it
I come from an age where we didn’t have ear protectors and common sense.

“….come up to Wyomin’……., “ really speaks to me. The wind offers a multi-effect reverb delay combo that is priceless.
Can confirm. A lot of wind in Wyoming. Frozen nostrils was a first for me there as well.
Haha! The wind is so loud in Wyoming, the idea of playing guitar is kinda pointless.

The next panel needs the “plug straight into the amp” guy who does t use pedals at all, but if he did here’s his opinion
Just cut to him after every segment and have him say "don't like it"
Only pedal you need is one to switch from clean to dirty
Also known as the dude that gets processed the most in the studio
Now that I've finally got my Blues Jr figured out I sometimes plug straight in. But I also love fuzz, delay, and have figured out how to get a deliciously squishy high gain overdrive with a morning glory into an OCD. I won't be dropping the pedals anytime soon.

Juan Alderete used a wild ring mod sound on his bass for Conjugal Burns by the Mars Volta. I don't think his pedal cost $2000 bucks, but it still wasn't cheap iirc
I love my Automatone MkII. I’d say it’s worth the money for sure!
It replaced two overdrives and a fuzz on my pedalboard (which saved a little space). Not to mention the very useful design of the presets and visual sliding faders!
This was so good, and hilarious. And nothing makes me feel more warm and fuzzy than "there are so many great options out there. Find what you love." If it sounds good, it is good. And be honest about it.
Once a pedal costs more than 6 coffees, it's off my list.
I love those 2€ coffees I order most of the time. Wait... 6x only?!
A coffee in my town is 1,50€
For a maximum of 7,50€ a pedal, I guess all I can allow myself to purchase is a transistor and a pot to make a DIY boost...
Maybe it's time to move someplace where coffee is more expensive
Probably the best sounding, rarest, expensive because they're just amazing, pedals has to be the DOD fx66 Flashback Fuzz. Selling for well over $7k if you're lucky enough to find one.
...I just happen to have one such remarkable pedal, that'll make you sound like a guitar god, for sale.
...Bidding starts at $6k... Believe the hype...it took me the better part of a minute to create it.
