I had a blast JHS crew! Thank you for having me on!
1:00:35 I'm sorry to break stereotypes, but many people in the USSR listened to the Beatles, including my father, an ordinary Soviet engineer, and Picasso painted the doves of peace, a symbol widely replicated in the USSR and he even had an exhibition in Moscow. Not just the Beatles, we had records of the Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Elvis Presley, Stevie Wonder, Jesus Christ Superstar, a lot of classical music, and I still have some of those Soviet vinyls from the 80-s lying around in my closet. Of course, you couldn't just buy a Gibson, but professional musicians somehow got very good imported instruments anyway.
👍👆
Don't apologize, it's important to state these facts and challenge the erroneous idea that everyone in the USSR lived a drab, grey existence in fear. For all the problems literally every country or form of govt in the world have, the USSR did too, as a transition form of govt will have, but it gave us so many beautiful things that will never be forgotten no matter how much people try to bury them. That is just the way it is. I have a soft spot for Soviet film and guitar gear, ignited by the first Sovtek Muff i heard as a teenager. Fantastic minds at work over there.
@@rivereuphrates8103 Thanks! It's always nice to read a balanced and wise statement.
Nick: “Drum Leader, standing by”
Stay on target...
Lol
@@zaraak323i stay on beat...
Nick, Severe douche, trying to make a name for himself with unfunny nonsense
@@colinmanson5346 ^ this is correct.
We need an animated version of “the future biker gang steals the power core from the future cops” story, the soundtrack is already complete
If you can make a full theatrical presentation of the history of pedals, SURELY an animated version of the biker gang chronicles can be done. Make it so!
As an aside, every time I finish watching one of your live stream shows I walk away saying ‘that was the best one yet’. THIS episode? Epic. Thanks for that!
SOVTEK episode! Finally! This has gotta be the Sovtek episode, right?
:-(
Thank you very much for the show! It was very nice to see Yerasov pedals and his early Gamma. This is a company from my hometown of Penza. I lived in the same house as Alexander Yerasov and was friends with his son. I want to recommend that you look at the Soviet analog guitar synthesizer Leader-2. When I was young, I played one. It's a very authentic thing. And thank you very much again for the show!
Great show Guys..... I have this sinking feeling Nick is micro dosing lead paint chips
Yeah, Nick is definitely on something...super dosing goofballs maybe?
This should be like an annual special.
Hmmmmmm
The hush your babies intro music is my favorite part of the show.
How you resisted bursting into Flashlight by Parliament when Blake pulled out his pedalboard torch is beyond me....
Brian Wampler on the show when?
7.7.2021 might be good day to check.
I live in Russia near the factory which is still making tubes, principally for audio amps (perhaps it was the out-sourseing factory of Sovtek and made other things in 90's), and it's quite mad that I can't buy that guys here, only from abroad or at swap meets. Thanks for video, you are great!
What's going on there now?
Привет из России! Крутое шоу, крутые педали, крутая подача материала!
Привет из США! Я американец, но изучаю русский язык дома. Я так люблю этот красивый язык))
So that message was from Russia with love?
@@colinsmith5879 моя тоже изучать.
The great amount of space-stoner rock jams in this episode, made it even more russian.
And also there is one thing that you should know about soviet guitar pedals. There were 2 types of early soviet pedals. First ones were manufactured by factories, because government said it must be produced, and nobody cared about how they sound. And second type were designed, but never made by any manufacturers. They were published in books and "Radio" journal. They just give away schematics to common people so anybody can do this pedal by himself.
I didn't think we could ever top "He has the box!", but "Wurds iz Hard" is my new favorite stinger
wurds on the box
Sorry I missed it live ! Congratulations to the winners! Thanks Josh and Nick and everyone involved! ☠️☠️☠️🤟🏼
Totally unrelated to Soviet Pedals, but I've been binging JHS videos for a solid month, and I feel like Josh smokes up right before presenting every 5th or 6th show/episode/video. I mean, I know and Love his naturally wacky, occasionally thought provoking, and on rare occasions hilariously depressing sense of humor, but every once in a while I notice that he does what I did when I smoked: Elaborate on some thought I had far longer than anyone cared to listen to "Why I thought people were required to pee" when all I wanted to say was, "be right back"
Okay I totally want to see the Future Cop movie now.
I'm not joking i clicked so fast when i saw the title. I was like "finally! he did the episode" but it's not what i thought it would be, you know what i'm talking about. All that aside it was a great episode with great jams as always!
Stalin was also a General Secretary of the party under Lenin too. When Lenin was on his deathbed he realized (whoopsie) as secretary Joseph Stalin had total power over who got appointed, or basically control over who was hired or fired. Lenin used Trotsky who had about the same regard for human life as Stalin to win the October revolution. The Socialist Soviet Party Secretary answers to the party leader but when the party leader is dead, as the secretary you can appoint yourself the new leader. The dead guy cannot contest the decision.
Everyone overlooks the cool pedals that Stalin made
Every time I watch these videos my desire to challenge Josh to a cage match for one of those Sovtek MIG's gets deeper and deeper
You're telling me. Like, who needs that many MIGs? I get it. They kick ass and I should have bought that one on Craigslist a few years ago and if I had, I'd probably be playing it today. I think Josh could stand to part with a couple!
Your jams are great!! You're all very fortunate to rock with your buddies like this. highfive.
Today you succeeded where 12 years of history teachers apparently failed me, and I finally understand the USSR
Really appreciate you did take the time to name the states of the USSR.
Nick in the Rebel helmet looks like Speed Racer!
I had a SOVTEK MIG 50 in my rig 1996 I loved it wish I had two now. Great show
AMT is from my birth town, thank you for covering them on this episode.
Holy smokes, that last jam is a real toe tapping, head boppin' banger. Sick episode.
KCMO resident here, can confirm Bob Hamilton is quite a character...
I gotta google this dude
I feel like I’m the only one beating the drum for a Moog episode and that disappoints me.
Nah dude moogerfoogers are where it's at
+5
I’m right there with you!
Definitely a BIG topic, from the Maestro wedge pedals Bob designed to the Moogerfoogers line
Must - have - Nicks - HELMET!!!
🤘🏻😁🤘🏻
I wish the whole EHX history episode would come out someday.
so stoked to see AMT featured there. I use their PowerEater attenuator -- it's a fantastic amp attenuator during these stay at home times!
I use AMT SS11-A preamp.
I tuned in in time to hear Josh say "and we're leaving right now 3,2,1 see..."
He debuted the RED ARMY in a booth at the NAMM Show. Nobody was making pedals but i had a bunch of Big Muffs already, do i ordered 6 of the Red Army pedals, they were $19 each! Eventually sold them all...
Joshua Story telling on the riff was just transformational... I want to be in Powercore!
I have a Russian Bassballs with the black case and blue script. Love it to bits. Great on both bass and guitars.
I really want to see an animated short film of Nick's story with all the jams as the soundtrack. That would be incredible
I watched it to the end. As I wrote in the live broadcast, there was a pedal paradise
I use an AMT SS 11B pedal. You have no idea how awesome that beast is !!
So awesome!!!
Sound-JS pedals at 34:00 were made by Elton company in Kherson, Ukraine in late 80's and early 90's. I used to have a bass compressor Sound-JS CS-5B.
Russian pedals... but... when will he address the giant Soviet SOVTEK elephant in the room?
I remember the Kramer ads (1989), featuring Gorky Park and that Balalaika guitar. How did such an amazing Cold War relic end up in a pawn shop? 😮
Blake played some tasteful stuff in the jams. He was one of the best guests you've had on these live sessions. Colin from CS Guitars, Dylan from Dylan Talks Tone and Ola Englund would be great RUclipsrs to have on the live show. It would also be cool to have a session where you have a producer (e.g. Venus Theory) using reamp tools and pedals for music production, e.g. dub mixing or techno.
Thanks man! I have not played with anyone in probably 5 years, so this was a bit of a weird way to break back into it. Couple stinky notes slipped in there, but I can’t say I’m surprised. 🤣
3:16 give that man a Nobel prize
The font on that TR-7 is straight up Star Trek the Next Generation, and I’m loving it.
Ok, I'm late to this stream... but Nick with the rogue squadron helmet killed me. specifically when the camera cuts back and he's got the visor up.
The last jam has a bit of a Hum feel too it, which is awesome.
I watched the Soviet live that wasn't live but it was alive with pedal history and cool jams with some crazy sounds, colors and vibes and you guys are crazy and now I'm becoming a pedal need again and I wish I still some of my old pedals from the 70's, 80's & 90's and yeah I'm digging the show guys and this is a run on sentenceand keep up the good work and I'm done.👍👏😎🎸 Why isn't there an effects pedal on emoji yet this is 2021😔
Two of my favorite people!!!
Am I going insane or is that the Wilhelm scream sound effect at the 29 minute mark? I hear it like 7 times... I want to believe it's a delay on the guitar but it sounds exactly the same as the sound effect.
The first jam you did, the space jam (yes) was very reminiscent of the soundscape of this heavy space scifi theme album by a finnish rock band CMX released in 2007, called Talvikuningas. Very nice. It's something that Josh might enjoy if he understood finnish.
the transition into ernie ball trivia time killed me lol
Man, that first jam though 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My very first pedal since my Soviet childhood was this strange fuzz-wah pedal with a red power button (by the way, I found it in the dump when I threw out the garbage 😅) So, I couldn’t cope with it and swore that the pedal was rubbish. Now I have every piece of equipment I've ever dreamed of and the main thing I've come to realize is that what really matters is good taste. And you can get the coolest sound out of any sh t. Thank you so much for the video, guys! I watched it with pleasure and teleported a little to my youth :) Greetings from Russia
To the cover song question my answer would be the vanilla fudge cover of the supremes “you keep me hangin on”. The fuzz tone with minor key just love the psychedelic sound of this song and era. My desert island rig would be a tele with a tone bender plugged into a Vox AC30
The force is strong with this one🚀
🎵🎶 He Broke the Box 🎶🎵
. . . ."and then the ship exploded". . . -- big laugh! Thank you!
I also don't want to be that guy but Stalin was the one that was born in Georgia
it started so well
Oof. That Soviet cliff notes was painful.
Greetings from a Moscow dude, livin in Düsseldorf now.. u guys are great 👍
this epi is yet another work of art , no shit
Can someone tell me what that treble booster right behind Josh is (the one that someone put a little hat or lid on)It's not in focus until 56:41 .I bought one from Greece the same day this aired ,and I think it might be the same one ! What are the odds ?
Nick in the helmet. I can’t unsee it...
Favorite cover: My Morning Jacket - Tyrone
Joshua the speaker is clearly a blessed soul
I absolutely LOVE Nicks rebel pilot helmet. Im super jealous. Where did he buy that!
Best plot ever... and that’s having watched the pedal musical!
very nice video
watching this in Russia was a lot of fun
The overdrive with speaker emulation mics near the speaker Emulator??
...in Soviet Russia, guitar pedal plays you - Yakov Smirnoff
"Bang" by Gorky Park is a fun song. I listen to it when I'm bummed out and it all ways puts me in a good mood.
I have the AMT F1 Preamp made in Russia, it has unique great features and sounds nice aswell
Sputnik and Laika pedals! Voud be beeg trouble for moose and squirrel! Thank you for the Russian pedal episode. My favs.
Maybe call one the badinov!
Josh - "...Sovtek..."
Me - "Sovtek? It's the Sovtek episode! It's finally the Sovtek episode! WOOOO!"
The JHS Show - "We have Sovtek episode at home."

Seriously though, great episode. I literally made dinner, and ate dinner while watching it. I always stay for the whole thing 'cause you never know what's goin' to happen.
As far as I could find out, "Elektronika" was a generic name for electronics made under Soviet rule. There were many things labeled elektronika. It was not a company. Venta, in Lithuania, is most likely the company (factory, really) who made that flanger pedal. I own that one as well as its supposed successor, the Venta (Elektronika) PE-11. Venta did in fact make that one, but I can't remember where I heard that the FL-01, the brown flanger pedal, was likely made by the same factory. I got the info about "elektronika" from a comment a Russian guy made on this video of the FL-01: ruclips.net/video/FtXFvTgITfg/видео.html Some information on the PE-11 here: reverb.com/item/10269530-elektronika-venta-pe11-flanger-bbd-sad1024-germanium-vintage-soviet-guitar-pedal What they made in spite of the Iron Curtain is truly inspiring to me. They had a desire for good quality music gear, and through their genius and tenacity, they made it themselves, as they couldn't import anything else. And these are what they made. Btw, Soviet Guitar Effects has an awesome youtube channel where they demo a bunch of this cool gear! Go check em out
Gorky Park is also mentioned in The Scorpions song 'Wind of Change'
Tenuous
In Soviet Russia, pedal plays you!
That Gorgy Park guitar is based on the Russian Folk instrument called a Balalaika Prima.
You should check out the Fredric Effects Verzerrer based off of the East German Trickverzerrer. It’s really good, regularly available in the UK but shippable to the USA.
Thanks for this long-awaited great Sovtek video
Next, Skreddy.
Hint hint, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more, know what I mean? know what I mean ? Nudge nudge, say no mo, say no mo.
They really should ALL be wearing those rebel fighter helmets. Especially during the future desert powercore cybercop saga.
I have a real fondness for the banter and mess in this episode, because it mirrors how life has felt this last week.Only in this case, really informative. Well done (but also sometimes you hit the button wrong).
Just clocked it says “pedal history highschooi”
I have an old USSR Soviet era Russian electric guitar. It is just DREADFUL! It is even worse than the worst cheap Japanese stuff from the 1960s. I had a homemade pre-electric guitar production non-OTK electric guitar in for repairs. Weirdness supreme! The pickup was made from parts of one or more Soviet payphones. (OTK = Comrade Approved by the Soviet govt.') Even Soviet chess sets had the OTK stamps on them.
nick is a hero.
One of THE great episodes. When I saw Josh's guitar (26:00:00), I thought it was made by KREMLIN guitars! but no.. my eyes were deceiving me.
Another fun fact about the Russian Revolution. There was 3 factions at play, not just 2 like we are always told. White Army, who were Romanov backed. Red Army lead by Lenin& Trotsky. And the Black Army "lead by" Nestor Makhno& the Ukrainian People
Tori did Smells Like Teen Spirit on her Strange Little Girls album, which really should get an album time shout out. However if you really want to hear Tori do an amazing cover check out 97 Bonnie and Clyde which is her take on Eminem's Just The Two of Us.
Could you do a video on the EX Inferno?
Sounds so good I Kazakhstan'd it
Damn that jazz geography was smooth
Looks like there is a mistake about yerasov grunge pedal. The company founded in 1988 was named "Gamma". And it changed its name to Yerasov only in 1994, after USSR ceased to exist for about 3 years.
ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerasov
I do use Ge transistors made in the USSR for some of my effects. I used a lot of old Soviet made parts in a lot of projects. Tubes, pots, diodes, transistors, op amps, selenium rectifiers, etc. I know one once pretty famous amp company who's first tube amp designs were modded Sovtek Mig amps. Hint, I am in Arizona and it's not Zinkey. Zinky?
So he built modded bassmans
Nick has a new hat.
Nice.
