Analog Man’s BEST Pedals!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- I’ve often said that companies don't make things, people do. To understand why Analog Man is great, you need to know that Analog Man is a person. His name is Mike Piera, and he got started in the mid ’80s, around 1985, when he moved to Japan to be a software engineer. While working in Japan, he started seeing vintage guitars and effects pedals that he'd never seen in the States, just a universe of crazy interesting, collectible stuff. He started tinkering around, recreating some of these rare effects, and modifying things for friends.
One thing led to another, Mike started a pedal company, and the rest is history.

His site still looks like the second or third site on the internet.
Its unbelievably bad.
@@TrippyTheShroom I mean it's an Internet site that lets you buy pedals and then they mail them to you. What else do you need? ;)
@@taylorhutto9588 you're not wrong, its just rough to deal with lol
That's exactly what I thought when Josh was talking about it.
I love his website. Throwback to the old days. His FAQ is a particular favorite.
😂 Shout for Nick's drum solo 👍- Is he still going?
No one can really say for sure, but legends say that if you listen closely on a starry night you can hear him off in the distance
When your drummer goes all Bonham
I didn't realize what a fuckin beast he was on drums
i like him
Cody Retrac well played, my dude
Even though I love BOSS pedals, I never cared much for the DS-1 Distortion. However, about 2 months ago, I came across an early 2000's DS-1, (in the box with all the box candy!!), at a yard sale for $25. I was thrilled when I opened the box and it had the Analogman sticker on it! I truly love this pedal! It has waaaaay more mid range to it now. It is a mainstay on my board. Side note: at that very same yard sale, I ended up with a mid-2000's EHX Small Clone, a Digitech Bad Monkey, (better than I thought it would be!), a Line 6 Roto Machine, and finally, the star of the show: a 1982 BOSS CE-2 Chorus in MINT condition, also with the box and candy!!! I gave $115 for everything, (including the $25 for the DS-1). I'll never stumble on a deal like that again...
Wow. You came across a serious deal. The Boss Chorus alone but an Analogman modded DS-1 for $25? Wow. That’s so awesome. I would of been very happy.
Give them all to me. Tomorrow we'll meet at the parking lot
Sounds like one of the best yard sales ever
🤐
I'm not going to comment this or I might insult you out of envy. Oops! I'm SO happy for you ! 😁🤟
My King of Tone just arrived about two months ago. Beautiful pedal. I was on the wait list for two and a half years. Worth the wait and the price.
Can we take a minute and appreciate Nick for always going hard on the drums?! Kudos Nick! These episodes wouldn’t work without you!
i'm here for watching nick feel his oats more and more
nick, you are a star
You left Nick hanging on Heavy Metal Airship. You should've come back in.
I know I mentioned this before... Josh 's fresh sounding riffs are sooo unique! 5 billion guitar players (including me) would come up with blues rock riffs we already heard 5 billion times before. 😊
I literally am in love with the way Josh talks about pedals. This is one of my favorite channels on RUclips
My wife could care less about guitar pedals, but even she is hooked on the JHS videos! She likes his sense of humor and enthusiasm. Also, Nick is becoming the shows secret weapon. He is really becoming a star!
“Another One Stays Alive” 😂😂😂. Josh, you just might be the king of sort of playing well known artist’s music without getting yourself demonetized!
That was very cool! Mike has been a great friend going back to the 90's. I love his stuff, and I still a Bi-Comp and an Analog Man Chorus on my pedalboard.
I'm kicking myself for not getting a sunface fuzz back in 2014, but I did manage to get my hands on a foxrox cc2 fuzz that was modded with a nkt-275. I have several AM/fox pedals. :)
I've never met Mike in person, but I've known him and have used his pedals and mods since 2000. He builds fantastic stuff and it's just a fun loving guy who loves music. I've still got the chorus he built me. It was the first one to have a three way depth switch and isn't in the standard box. Love it
I opened for the Toadies in 2001 at a festival in Austin, TX. After a 45 min delay due to a rainstorm, they opened the show with "I Come From the Water". Great band, great musicians!
I saw them every time they came to Central Texas. Small, small world.
Toadies’ “Rubberneck” is the reason I play guitar. Back in the day they had a website and posted tabs of their own songs. And half of it was wrong.
The overdub "He has the box" is so much better than your OG old original, " He's has the clap" referencing your old drum synthesizer .
Wait, link?
So glad to find out I’m not the only one who has the Clap! Thanks josh keep inspiring me to move forwards!
This might be my favorite of your surveys of other pedal makers. I do so appreciate your generosity of attention and spirit. + the drummer freak out was hilarious!
i like the nirvana/queen mashup. make that copyright algorithm short out.
What they played is my fave part of the video.
The last 2 or 3 vids have been the best playing they've ever done. I loved to see em switching out on the pedal colors vid. Nick is a pretty decent guitarist and Josh can hold down the pots and pans
Josh, you are one of the classiest persons in existence! You give a lot of attention and credit to competitors! We benefit from your fair and honest coverage of so many pedals.
You guys are just getting better and better at delivering the goods! So entertaining.
I never knew that Analog Man’s story goes back that far. Very cool to hear the history behind some of these brands
I've been singing the praises of Analog.Man's AstroTone fuzz in every gear comments section and at every gig I ever get near. An absolutely amazing fuzz pedal for those of us who can't deal with most fuzzes.
it's like you're making these videos just for me! I came across a few AM pedals recently and didn't know much about them, then this video popped up! Thanks!
Great take on Analog Man, thanks!
Rubberneck is one of my top 5 albums of the 90s. Never get tired of it and comes up on my playlist all the time!
Absolutely love this channel. Another great episode. Loved seeing Nick get carried away too.
So love that album still brother! Thanks for highlighting it today!! :)
Loving the extra editing you guys are adding
Me: that astrotone sounds really good
*Gets on reverb, sees price
Yeah I don't need it that bad.
Reverb is too many times worse than ebay... Glad that I can buy these well under 200€ in my country!
That may be why it's underrated, cause nobody has tried it
it's way cheaper if you just buy it from Analog Man directly
Do you saw the enormous price rase at the same time this video was released?. mmmmmhhhh why i dont know....fuck.
They're more affordable when you buy them from Analogman. Way overpriced on the used market.
Really fantastic video today! Thanks JHS!!!
Hey Josh, I have a Muffuletta coming my way and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
This was an amazing video. I wish people who run businesses, in any industry, could conduct themselves in the same you have here....they mostly act like they are competing with everyone. It is obvious you love what you do and this was a hell of a tribute. Thank you for sharing what you know.
I’ve lived in a bubble with the Toadies. 20 minutes on Spotify later and whoa. Thank you. “Song I hate” and “Heart of Glass” and on and on.
You are one hell of a salesman and I always look forward to your content!
Thanks for doing these shows. I have learned a lot from you guys. Appreciate it. Thanks
The panel of nerds is not imaginary my friend.
The videos recently have been so good. Keep up the good work!
Huge Analogman fan! Since I live in CT, I’ve been to the shop a number of times. Lucky enough to have most of the pedals you mention in this vid. Mike P is the best! Thanks Josh!
You and Nick are on fire in this video! Love the jams!! 🔥🔥🤘🤘
I always want more when your videos comes to the end... You guys are great!
I needed that. Thanks Josh and gang. Just pure pedalmedy
These jams are rad and getting better with every vid!!!
I love the Prince of Tone! I keep it as an always on because I love the shape it has and it’s extremely touch responsive and keeps everything right where I want it
I absolutely love, love his: Analog Chorus and Dual Analog Delay = both just sound phenomenal.
Finally! Now I can have my friday lunch while watching the Friday videos, thanks, Josh. Very nice
possum kingdom was my go to song whenever i had a guitar amongst a group of friends or at school. The rhythm of its guitars and the matched key in vocals helped me shine. I'm stoked to hear it's on vinyl and will be keeping an eye out. Thanks again to all of you for making these awesome vids. keep up the good work.
Matthew Romero
This may be my favorite video from Josh’s channel so far. The over the top drum solo part during the Astro tone was great. I love analog man and love this channel. Very enjoyable
Tyler was my favorite song from this album. So happy to hear you give it special recognition. Also, The Toadies was my first ever concert.
Absolutely love this episode!
Thank you for making my fridays a little bit better.
Amazing sounds!! And great history!!!
Great video as always! I love that Toadies record and need that vinyl. It holds a special place in my heart because it was the first record my Baptist preacher father threw away because of song titles like "I come from the water" and "Backslider".
Mike is a kick-ass dude who makes kick-ass pedals and waiting 17 months for my King of Tone was well worth it. It is not over-priced (unless you find a gouger on ebay/Reverb) and, much like the Klon, it's not Mike who is responsible for the stupid resale pricing. I say, get on the list and then just go about your life until you get your email!
You lucky, I waited 34 months
His personality and customer service, overrated (he's no where near as friendly or patient as he's often made out to be. I'm not saying he HAS to be, I'm just saying). His pedals, also overrated. They're not "bad" by any stretch, some are really excellent. Particularly his modded Boss and Maxon pedals and the KOT. I'm just saying they're just overrated, over mythologized.
I own and have owned at least 1,000 pedals over the last 25+ years. His fuzzes have nothing on builders like Pigdog, Castledine and D*A*M and certainly aren't as sturdily built. Of the about 50 Analogman pedals (including modded pedals) I've had at least a quarter of them have janky footswitches, shitty solder joints and need to be repaired within a year or two. At times alot of stuff gets built in a pretty slapdash manner because he's backed up on orders.
Getting back to his Sun Faces, printed circuit board fuzzes will never sounds as good as point to point hand wired. So and so said different? They're wrong and they likely sell pedals with printed circuit boards.
This is not to "slag" Analogman at all even though I probably come off like a prick. His pedals sound really good and his website is a fantastic resource. It's just to say that people need to chill because his "legend" has been blown up like a fun house jumper.
@KC *FATALITY* ... you just murdered that poor fella.
@KC Although to be fair, "anyone" can build a fuzz face, it's the artists who can tune them to the perfect balance of gain, "spit," low noise floor and EQ. Analogman is AIGHT at best.
Only 17 months?
Luxury.
This channel has introduced me to so much new music.
I’ll admit that “So...how’s your day going?” almost made me spit out my Tito’s. Thanks JHS, I needed that.
Man this is a good clip I wish you played twice as long on this. That Astro Tone was ridiculous. and the Prince of tone was sweet as well. That NKT was awesome as well. All of these tones feel like time travel to me.
Rubberneck is a fantastic record and Tyler is certainly one of my favorite songs from that record. I saw the Toadies in concert a few years ago and they were awesome. Keep up the great content!
I think this channel is the greates thing for people who want to learn about the history of guitar pedals.
There is a lot of stuff on youtube about the history of guitars and amps, but not a lot about pedals
Fri-yay jhs is here🙏🏼☮️
Whoa! Deep freaking grooves on the Sun Face jam, and it sounds absolutely amazing.
Seriously guys, i love your videos!
Great episode Team JHS! I love my Analog Man gear, so much good stuff, hard to shortlist but I think you nailed it. Cool
Playing demos too, invokes GAS. No, must find that tone with existing gear. Take care!
The Analog Man web site hasn't been updated since the 90s. THOSE COLORS! OUCH, MY EYES!
It is clearly running on an analog server.
I still listen to Rubberneck all the time. Criminally under-appreciated.
Agreed! One of the most underrated albums of the 90s.
After waiting 2.5 years, I finally got my king of tone. Worth the wait, it's incredible.
Love that Toadies album. Friends and I regularly karaoke tunes off it.
Also, I've been playing guitar for 23 years and have never really been into pedals... Used my amp gain or an mxr od and nothing else for years... Until I started watching this channel. Now I have many pedals, including some JHS, and am always on the hunt for more. Thanks for expanding my guitar tone world, JHS!
So good. Loved the ep
Dig the episode, Josh. The Beano Boost was the first pedal I ordered and had to wait for. It was like he was personally making this killer pedal for me. Well, I guess that's what he was actually doing. I"m loving the JHS Crayon right now. A year ago I started watching your show and now I'm having so much fun with a variety of pedals.
Rubberneck is a great, great call Josh, nicely done. I’m never a big fanboy of the hits but Possum Kingdom was great, I personally loved the lead off track (Mexican Hairless) and Quitter-so much raw energy. Thanks for your channel too man, I love the content and have learned a ton watching your videos!!
Loved the drum extravaganza.
The best I’ve heard Nick play.
I have to say
Your videos make me laugh and brighten up my day.
Thanks man.
I've been touting Toadies and the song Tyler forever. One of the greatest rock songs ever. The album has such a great sound
One of the best episodes, and most humorous
Playing this Toadies album at the time seemed so innocent. Playing Possum Kingdom now...with the kids in the car...and they’re looking at one another, wide eyed and saying “No Dad, we don’t wanna die!” 🤣🤣🤣
I listened to that album for years before I realized that Possum Kingdom was about a serial killer! Some of my favorite riffs, they must have distracted me from the lyrics! I have had the pleasure of meeting Mike P and being invited to his shop a couple times to check out his operation and test some pedals. I have never heard one I didn’t like. You couldn’t ask for a nicer guy, super cool, and he has been a great influence on my own journey into pedal making. Thanks for the great video 🎸
Wow! I played on that Toadies record and I don't even have a vinyl copy of it. Haha. Love the channel Josh.
My first concert ever was The Toadies when Rubberneck hit the airwaves. Still one of my favorite albums and love these guys. Thanks for picking this album.
mannymoses my first as well. Good stuff.
One of the best records ever recorded! Tyler is definitely the stand out tracks for me. Graduated high school in 95 and this was the soundtrack to my summer and still a favorite. 🖤
Love your sense of humour! Most entertaining.
Sun Lion, best Mike pedal, ever! Just found your videos, fantastic. Love your myth busters, spot on!
I liked the Toadies Rubberneck album so much I ordered the CD. Keep up the good work Josh!
I love the Toadies! Away might be my favorite on this one but it's so hard to choose. Such an underrated band! Todd Lewis (singer) had a band with Taz from Reverend Horton Heat called The Burden Brothers that was equally as amazing in a different way.
@@adamnevermind7013 The Burden Brotghers records are great! More kick ass rock and roll. Also check out DOOSU from dallas. Guitarist from Burden brother was also in thaty band. Their album Feng Shui is one of my all time top 5 records.
The Toadies are amazing! Thank you for picking this record. It’s one of my favorites from when I was younger. They still record and release great new music. I wish I was closer to Texas because I would love to go to Dia De Los Toadies.
Your videos have become the best.
I’m always conflicted, I’m sad Josh doesn’t have all the pedals but I’m also always excited to hear the “I don’t have this pedal” jingle. It’s a real moral dilemma.
Enjoy your channel Josh!!! #1 Class guy!!
I love the toadies and rubberneck. Saw them a few years ago and they freaking killed it live. Ended with Tyler. I burn and away we’re also radio hits. Whoever gets that record will love it. I’ve always had a connection with them after seeing in their one video that the singer had a Gibson “the Paul”, just like me. It was the only Gibson I could afford as a young lad. Great guitar, great band and seriously great company with Analogman. You’re not too bad either Josh and JHS fam.
The Bad Bob just makes everything sound better. I know it isn't his design, but it is by far my favorite ANALOG.MAN pedal.
hi Josh.
i have 3 sunface's.
NKT RED DOT
2SB and bc109.
all with the boxes.
incredible tone machines.
i also found a modded TS9.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
The transitions in this video KILLED me!
The Astrotone is one of my absolute favs - I’ve had it since he first made it and use it all the time
Thank you for turning me on to the Astro Tone Fuzz. It really does sound more like a Distortion than a Fuzz. It also floors me that the original circuit was created in 1966. I’m kinda surprised that this pedal in its original iteration didn’t take off. It really did offer something way different when compared to everything else available at the time.
"Tyler" has always been my favorite too. In my area of western MA the local "modern rock" radio station started playing "BAckslider" before any of the other singles from that record and my friends and I all fell in love with the band. At the end of my first guitar lesson my teacher told me to come in next time with a song I wanted to learn, so I came in next weekend asking him to teach me "Backslider" and I can still remember him listening to the opening riff one time and then playing it. I was blown away that he could do that and I never forgot that feeling. At that time my mother, who had become a born again Christian a few years before this, was having issues with some of the people at the church we were going to and this song came on in the car one day and me, not knowing what a Backslider was, started turning it up. After it was finished she told me what it meant and that it applied to her etc etc. That whole record had such a tremendous impact on me during that time in my life and it was a nice surprise to see it mentioned here out of the blue like. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Edit: grammer
First time hearing “Possum Kingdom” was in middle school on a drama/speech tournament field trip while in a hotel hot tub with budding adolescent girls. Blew my mind. Love this band. Love the videos. Thank you
I saw them/Toadies several years before their hit at a small video arcade in the burbs around Dallas. Looked like they were still in or just out of HS and it was all punk rock. Always good to see local folks make something of themselves. As always, you got good taste.
I have a kot and Bichorus. Love them both. That sunlion is pretty cool. Great stuff today!!
This record time took me back to the 90's! I loved the Toadies.
I remember calling the radio station a lot and asking them to play the songs.
Love you, Josh
The Toadies came up on shuffle the other day and all I could think was "damn they were awesome and under appreciated".
Not that you ever sound bad but exceptionally smooth playing in the first jam, and so on there josh
Love my Astro tone fuzz and my JUICER!!! Analog Mike is the best! Can’t wait to come to the top of KOT list I think I’ll be waiting 8-12 months more ! Prince of Tone is awesome.
I don't comment much, but that Toadies record is actually pretty special to me... in fact, when the 90's alternative cover band my wife and I hired to play our wedding told us they would learn one song just for us, we chose Possum Kingdom. It was awesome, by the way. Anyway, great video as always.
The website is really helpful for understanding pedals
