Josh Scott and the crew sit down to talk with her about this new project and give her the chance to ask some questions about small businesses. We're inviting you to tune in LIVE and hear from JHS as we teach her the ropes.

I have no idea how she kept a straight face all the time. This is pure gold.
I was thinking the same thing! 😂
She took Xanax that had been hooked up to a vibrato pedal
i wonder if this kind of thing is happening in any other industry? like, is there a fishing rod manufacturer whose videos have gradually descended into bizarrely niche comedy that would make zero sense to 99.9% of the population but for those of us who get it, it's gold
All the time...
I mean besides cooking I don’t know as far as niche comedy UA-cam shows. Not a good comparison (everyone cooks and eats. Just not at that level necessarily) . However this rabbit hole I would love. If anyone else’s knows another industry satire niche comedy channel let me know! Lol
Gold? No.
No, but there are a lot of bait videos, mostly click bait though.
@@jasonstemm6450 please. I'm extremely curious as to a manufacturer that has a you tube channel featuring niche comedy. Seriously. Links please.
"People don't make pedals, companies do" killed me. 😂
"You don't have to write it off if you never claim it" is solid business advice.
The Reverb attire popping up out of nowhere was hilarious.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The JHS show is primarily a comedy show. Love it!
Now this is epic
NO U
Thumbs up for harp.
Arbitrage rules! You know, assuming they're $199 each. 'Merica.
I was there for meltdown 2023! I’ll be telling my grandkids about this in the future!
I'm sure in 20 years, Josh will produce a dramatic live theatrical reenactment, and he'll be hailed as a genius. Again.
I feel like I’ve learned so much from watching this
I also feel like I’ve forgotten some important things in the process
The "Septum Ring Modulator" would be perfect.
Hey, Ive decided to jump in on this, following your advice. I'm starting my line off with a Tube Screamer clone, a larger Tube Screamer clone that has a RAT clone running in parallel, and a third Tube Screamer clone that I call the Color Box.
No Klon? Have you learned nothing?!?
I recommend "Nose-Ring Modulator"for your next pedal. You're welcome!
I know this is not what the internet intended to have available when it firdt started, I also know in my heart this is what the people need and now we cant unsee what we have seen.
Y'all are killin' it with this content. Genius.
🙏🏼
“Hey guys!” Is the key to any content creators success! 😂😂😂
😅
I love this show thankyou folks for the years of smiles and education
Ah yes, the Vertex approach to business.
My new product, “Dead Air”…it’s a static machine for recording sessions. I’m using vintage, preowned tube televisions from local sports bars. All are guaranteed to create those smooth, white noise, background sounds for less than $10k plus shipping.
Make one called Thick Air and maybe Bob Weir will buy it. Their producer quit one time due to the last straw, Bob requested the sound of thick air...
Her innocent and honest spirit is so charming.
Were you all theatre kids or does this just give that kinda energy (I was a theatre kid)
You forgot releasing t-shirts to promote!
I will be waiting for Uncle-Em Inc t-shirts!
This info was SO juicy that UA-cam had to shut it down! Stay strong 💪
so glad i saw this before anyone else. i know this will ensure a glorious future for all my dreams.
Where can i sign up for Belle's : 6 steps to Marketing Success?
This is equal amounts hilarious and depressingly accurate describing modern gear marketing
I have the JHS compressor and it’s great. Can’t wait for my Notaklon.
Here for the shameless plug invite. My first couple pedals are based on synthesizer circuits and I think they do novel things in the guitar and bass effects space.
I'm currently chewing through a backlog of projects including "how to" videos for assembling PCBs I include with my pedals (and giving away the demo units). Still trying to find my voice in the video side of the business, haha
I am definitely gonna have a look.
This was ANOTHER classic JHS Show episode. What I particularly loved: the real-time version literally fell-apart with youtube glitchiness...then the JHS folks re-packaged it into this form. But the falling-apart of the real-time stream: that was comedy in and of itself. So happy I was there to witness it.
I love the deadpan delivery of sarcastic business advice.
This is like Saturday Night Live for the guitar-playing multitudes out there. And the two or three pedal-loving harpists out there.
Can we get the septum overdrive? I feel like I need this now.
This is pure gold.
Unbelievable - this actually makes me want to buy more JHS pedals.
This advice sounds like something that the Ferengi would say on Star Trek. The Rules of Acquisition! Lol
Made my day! Great stuff.
🥲
I'm currently working on a pedal that'll make me sound like Guthrie Govan. Just having trouble with the actuator for the hypodermic needle. Please advise?
Second time watching this and... WOW! F-hilarious! 😂🤣😂 One of the best thing ever 😂🤣😂 I still don't understand how they didn't cracked themselves up 😂🤣😂 GREAT acting!!! 😂🤣😂 I hope we will get to see some Extras from this 😂🤣😂 Maybe a Making Of or a Deleted Scenes sequence 😂🤣😂 Thank you, guys!!!
I learned so much from this.
you're welcome
This is very disruptive but I noticed a serious lack of acronyms, which is the First principle of FART approach (Fancy Acronyms in Real Time)
With that, maybe Uncle Em will grow its KPIs ASAP, in a continuous cycle of PDCAs for their PCB's QA process
Oh, good point!!
Yeah you can't skip the Three Letter Acronyms and the Four Letter Extended Acronyms.
This should be a TED Talk!
The condescension is so 👌
That was awesome Josh! What not to do🤪🤪
nailed the clean tone!😄
Emily is such a good sport...She was taking notes! This is a perfect promo for the NOTAKLON
Had minor surgery this morning so, I happened upon the show just as I was going to take a wee nap😴💤. Impossible! I was captivated 😂! What a great Show… SNL would wish they were this original (dare I say ‘funny’?) ONCE over the past 25 years 😅!
🎸👨🏼⚕️🎸🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸🏴. 😂😎🧐. 🫵
Nap was great … no nightmares about litigious problems or bankruptcy 😊.
That was superb! I would not ever want to play poker with Emily or Bel. 🤓
Didn’t know it was April 1st! 😂
This is amazing
Ok this was F’n hilarious! Thanks JHS!
"You've got to figure it out, I know that." That's why you're the boss, boss!
16:18 Emily almost broke character there the second time Josh said Septumius Ovverdriviviuzz
I just bought the JHS series 3 chorus pedal. That is the BEST chorus/vibrato I’ve ever heard or played. Thank you Josh!!
Agreed, I picked one up last month
cool!!! thanks for the support!
During a week of bad news in the world, this really made me laugh. Thanks a lot and pls keep going!
🎹uncle em trivia time🎹
Josh is always writing bangers left and right. Flying off the top of the dome.
def loved it 😂
I have an idea for a uni-vibe pedal that doubles as a garage door opener. Could you guys help me out with that one?
really miss the background and setting, thanks for bringing in back
I'm falling out of my chair laughing. The jokes hit perfectly in this episode!
They may have been attempting to demonstrate that anything can be sold online, regardless of how absurd the concept. However, they were mistaken. In the end, not a single person bought the pedals.
I must have missed this episode of Portlandia! 👍
so im only a few minutes in. It is crazy how much of a difference a black sheet and colored light totally changes the 'feel' of your setting.
Gold 🏆🥇
"Here's my clean tone" . (Andy rules ! )
You’ve gone full-assed bonkers and I am fucking here for it. Bravo. Goddamned bravo.
Best advice ever
brilliant! 😂
Making a Klone pedal is smart. In order to stand out in the market, make sure your Klone costs more than an actual Klon.
Truth in Advertising as it should be .
Lovely stuff 😂
So JHS is actually The Office. This is GREAT!
Oh, and +1 for Reverend. they sound the best.
As I watch this video, I certainly feel like somone is "giving me the business".
That was an amazingly good corporate evil impersonation. I am now permanently depressed.
🥲🙏🏼
Good job guys👍!!!
FWIW, finding a niche is definitely key to compete against the big guys. For example, if you decided to cater to a specific niche, like those that plug into a PA (e.g., coffee shop acoustic, PW, garage band PA boards, etc.), combining the Pulp N Peel with Reverb and Tuner would be quite a rig. :)
Considering I demo pedals the line "they chose the path" hit hard. Lol.
I'm holding out for the more sawce boost.
really unique design
Josh needs to fix the plumbing and mop the storage room tomorrow after answering all the warranty emails.
You should definitely play a guitar nobody has into an amp nobody has
yeah, like a kemper
Please tell me you guys are working on dime sort of volume pedal
we are not
Is there any website or anything for that pedal line? Google has 3 results and all of them wrong.
unfortunately, no 😮💨
Damn!!! I need to hire these guys! How can I reach you? No money but lots of will to be bigger, better, brighter.
Seriously guys, this is so good! #biggerbetterbrighter
Septum OD for the win. 🏆
shouldnt the od be more sauwce?
Andy suggested a black background so that Olive is a floating head. A decade later, the world still wonders if Andy even has legs. And no we didn't actually see any legs when he played basketball with Josh and Paul Gilbert.
I'm a simple man, I see Emily. I click the video.
It's so funny. I cant hardly tell if it's real or not. How are they just not busting out laughing at each other?
"I will never do that" and all wearing REVERB's clothing. That's really funny. 🤣
What they are saying, the opposite are the truth. 🤣
Great show as usual.
The fact that you got Andy on here is just everything to me
Dude you guys inspire me
“You don’t have to write it off, if you don’t claim it. Does that make sense?”😂🤔🤣
How dare you edit greatness?
😅😅😅
Is sarcasm an extra mid-west thing? I notice the walrus audio guy does the sarcasm bit as well.
I'm from Missouri, and yes. It's one of the few things we do to entertain ourselves.
The Russ-ty Harpy Emulator. It’s a harmonizer pedal that doubles your tone with old rusted steel mixed with crusty sinew tonality. It also has a thematic “screech mode” toggle that turns your audio into human sounding laughter and supernatural beastly screaming. @emilyharpist
Epic
We're talking about MXR/Wylde pedals right?
WTB: purple lighting
It's the worst, but the best!
youre telling me my creations might see the market? might not be good for humanity. Might be incredible.
Needs lava lamps
