- Today we sit down with Brian Wampler, and talk all about Wampler Pedals. We also throw beach balls at one another. And there's also ham involved. And milk. And Mountain Dew. And new summer merch for a limited time! It all makes sense if you just watch it. Did I mention the dumpster? There's a dumpster in this one, too. And good tones. And pedals.... you get it.

i really really wanna see a Pixar movie where Brian voices himself as a pedal maker and one night his pedals come to life and at first he thinks its a big problem but eventually he learns to live in harmony with the pedals and maybe an old fuzz face with a long grey beard teaches everybody a valuable life lesson at the end
One of those imagineers right here
As a guitar player……..
I LOVE IT!
Amazing, if only the market wanted it as bad as we all do…
I would watch that movie on repeat
And they sing, “You’ve got a tone in me….”
You and Brian should make a "Guitar Pedal Circuitry 101" video series.
Teach us.
I’m 100% for this! ❤️
Barrett, that is a great suggestion!
Yes please
@@wampler_pedals DO IT
That would be so cool!!!
I'm still going! 😅 Good on you, guys. Thanks for the mention. All the best.
OG BERGS!!!
"We're going to pickle stuff!" Absolutely murdering the entire late 00's early 10's hipster scene with one line lmfao
Brian Wampler is a just good dude who happens to enjoy tweaking pedals. No frills. Love what he does!
And he's so cool,calm and collected in all this insanity. He's the guest and keeps getting ignored but just sits there laughing at all this.
Literally, Brian and the JHS crew have made me want to get into building pedals for myself. I did a couple when I was at university. But these guys make me want to go further in to it.
Inspirational stuff 🙂
That's so awesome! Honored we get to be part of your journey.
Agree! You said they don’t teach this in college. I so wish they had. I have a biomed eng degree (which is like an EE but for gooey stuff) and really want to find a shop I could solder for part time. Any suggestions for pedal makers in California central valley, ie Fresno/Clovis area?
It's 7 months later. By now, you could've learned A LOT and built yourself countless pedals. So?
It took me a week to order breadboards and components when I caught Josh's and Brian's specific vids about pedal building. And 3 days after I got it all, I had a biased silicon Fuzz Face of my very own that I didn't pay $150 for. The next day I had an EXH LPB1 boost pedal. And I've built others since then. I took the initiative to learn myself and that's exactly what I'm doing. 👌 And couldn't be happier or prouder of what I've accomplished.
I actually need to go back and redo my Fuzz Face. It sorta never made it past breadboard stage lol. So it's been on a breadboard the entire time 🤣 I'm hoping Fran of Frantone will reply to me about whether it'd be OK for me to breadboard one of her fuzz circuits only for personal curiosity and research basically. I know I could have just built it and kept quiet but I figured that was the right thing to do. I respect Fran and the legacy of Frantone too much to do that. 👌
@@jhspedals hey let me ask you guys. If I wanted to breadboard a current or out-of-production JHS circuit, would asking you guys for permission be the right thing to do?
I know. "well duh! You don't just steal it" but is that the accepted way to go about it? Ask for permission for research purposes or for whatever purpose it might be? Thanks.
You should do 10 Tube screamers in one. Nobody every did that.
I owe Brian Wampler a TON for guiding me down the rabbit hole when I picked up guitar again later in life. Thanks for the chasing tone podcast and the youtube channel. Both were BIG TIME!
I want to say that I would watch every live featuring Brian in its entirety... but we all know I'm going to watch them all anyways. Bring Brian back!
Wampler is my other favorite pedal youtuber. This episode is a dream come true!
Pedal-naming idea: Run a contest in which the winner gets a pedal named after them! :-)
I like
Thank you for serving us, though we are a flakey, fickle bunch of yahoos. I see the love for what y’all do at Wampler and JHS. Thank you guys for helping guitarist everywhere.
Jhs and wampler pedals together, just like on my pedal board!🤘🤘🤘 #twintwelve #catapulp
Thanks again for the shout-out, Brian. And nice to hear you unleash your inner Angus.
As for naming pedals, I was going to suggest just making up words that didn't sound like anything in particular. And then it occurred to me you'd probably have to go through the entire IKEA catalog just to make sure the pedal wasn't accidentally named after an end-table or study lamp.
As for alternate uses of pedals, consider using any of the Line 6 Tone Core pedals to balance a ship, OR to hold a vault door open so you can slide under it when you're stealing all the gold.
And hi Petey 2F, and Robert K. !
I've watched this video probably about five times already, but it really holds up. I love Brian's whole perspective on the industry and combining that with Josh and the crew makes this an instant classic. And yes, Joshua has fans out here.
More Brian with the JHS gang please
God damn I've been repeatedly telling Brian Wampler in comments that his circuit walkthroughs are the best on internet, he knows exactly what to show and how to show it. Just what Josh said. He's trying all kinds of new content types every now and then, but whenever he releases another "here's how this works", I'm all ears, brewing coffee and excited. I might be the small niche that is exactly the target audience, and I'm really happy that Brian does that for people like me.
I honestly think Brian and Josh have two of the most core pedal builder youtube channels that have their own niché and expertise so well down to the point. Add to that That Pedal Show and you've got three honest down to earth channels that have infinite value and do what they're the best at, never having to compete with others because they're so unique and core.
Now I also know how all the new Wampler channel intros get born. And gotta agree with Josh about Brian's playing. He's downplaying himself often and barely plays on his show for real, just small bits of demo, but he does rock.
It's funny how 80's was the peak of digital rack gear and everybody was using them (Eventide, Lexicon, Roland, Yamaha) and literally nobody was like "ugh it's digital" (although many of them might've had analog front, but the effects were all digital and so were the controls and screens). Then 20-30 years later people in the pedal world are going through this puritan phase. It must've been something like after Lexicon went down and there was the rush of cheap crappy digital stuff in the 90's where people who didn't really have passion or proper technological understanding and musical ear made all the units for beginner players. Like they weren't $2000 peak of technology units anymore, they were $200 junk. It wasn't probably until Timeline that the same brilliant quality in algorithms and signal chain inside the pedal came back. Like I got this Roland SDE-2000, their first of the legendary series in racks of people like Van Halen, a digital delay unit with modulation. The modulation is in the wet signal only and it's vibrato so essentially you adjust via delay time if you're having a flanger, a chorus or a delay with some juicy modulation. And enough depth of course makes it sound like a vibrato. It has an analog front because processing chips were relatively new in audio technology and you couldn't even get proper AD converters for reasonable prices so they hacked those, DSP's were what they were. That means that if you drive enough input signal/gain, it'll distort everything going through the delay smoothly in very analog manner. So if you run it in parallel like you'd usually do with 80's racks, you get smoothly distorted delay with modulation and your dry sound just the way you set it in the first place. It can get pretty tape vibey with all that control. It's beautiful. But so are things like Yamaha SPX90 and Symphonic, people really loved that effect, very much a digital thing. Eventide and Lexicon? Not a chance they were ever possible in analog and no chance anybody would ever call them subpar, they're the gold nugget you chase after when you want something unnaturally beautiful, lively and exciting from your reverb/delay/pitch shift.
You two go very well together in this kind of format. Maybe one day you'll have another NAMM meet up with people like Robert Keeley and make a little video hanging out, talking random stuff.
Also time for Boss micro rack episode Josh.
Brian Wampler is a legend. I have 3 of his pedals on my board (Ego, Tumnus Deluxe, Terraform), and I don’t think any of them are ever coming off.
I am a WHY guy. So I really appreciate when Josh goes into the WHY about things. The WHY is the soul of the direction of things. Happy little trees becoming Huge Motions. Like Rocket 88 being born from a white dude who loved Delta Music and a flat tire on Highway 61. This moment shaped music for the next 70 years. So thanks Josh for being a Geek about the little things. WHY? ON Brother.. WHY? ON..
I um.. got my names mixed cause I suck. Content was correct. But I meant Josh Scott. 💩
One of my favorites episodes, ever, it was amazing. Loved to hear Wampler jamming with the JHS crew.
No one asked me, but what is my take on the Clon? Make a JHS pedal, wipe out the capacitor and resistor values, obscure the pcb by adding 6 layers, and then put some black epoxy on top of it, and I'm people will assume there is something magical that you won't share with the rest of us.
Saludos a la tía Hortencia.
Thanks guys really enjoyed this show, having Brian as a guest was excellent.
It surprises me nowadays how many people don’t use or don’t like chorus, to me it’s one of my favourite pedals and I love the effect and all round fullness it gives my guitar tone. But at the end of the day we all have our own opinions.
When does Brass Knuckles hit the road? I'm buying tickets!!
Same!
There are 2 "boutique" pedal makers I'm going to buy a pedal from. And that's Josh and Brian both of them make great youtube videos and are so outstandingly cool and have scaringly good knowledge when it comes to guitarpedals. I might not be good enough a guitarplayer to be using one of their creations but they educate me about pedals in a way that makes me a better player! Josh educates more in sound and feel while Brian makes my electronic engineering degree shimmer with a sparkling interest:) Great work you guys:)
Thank you!!!
By far, the best music of any show I've seen since November '23 when i first discovered this JHS Show
Damn Josh… Brian a deep thinker. I’m a huge fan of him, his company, and his personality. He couldn’t be more fun to listen to. You 2 could be more opposite, but totally the same. Thanks for doing this, I assume you are both headed for NAMM, if so have fun.
This is the crossover that I longed for ever since I discovered both channels. Thank you so much for this! So inspirational!
Both of these guys make outstanding pedals, and they also seem like outstanding humans. Thanks guys!
The backstory for Brass Knuckles was like every bar band ever.
The jams of these episodes are just intense and take you on a journey through the depths of time and space and the PedalVerse!! Got to love the tones!!
The combined pedal knowledge of these two is immense. 😎
This a great episode! Nick is back. Brian and Josh are becoming blood brothers. A lot of character in one room! Sick jams!
As a novice pedal builder, I appreciate the hell out of these two. I have learned so much from them over the last few years and they have inspired me to experiment with circuits. These are two of the best people in the guitar industry.
Thank you!!
Brian. Wampler. Is killin’ it on that second jam. I wanted 20 more minutes of that.
Nice jams. You guys got mojo playing together Josh, Briand and the other guys
This has become my favorite channel of all time! Thanks guys. I love Brian’s channel too!
This episode is soooo goooooood!!! Thanks Wampler and JHS
This was extra fun. Welcome back Nick.
Jams were killer, and I actually laughed a few times… props
Thanks for the this whole thing and for the great jams! Cheers from Finland!
Thank you for having Brian on. He is excellent.
That’s a lot of pedal nerdery going on right there…and I loved it! Fun jams guys!
Really loved this episode. Great conversation. Really nice playing by everyone. Thanks for this.
The Belle and the Tumnus Mini have been on my board quite a while now. Thanks, Brian!
Fabulous episode! Great job guys.
Fantastic. I stayed to the end. Keep up the fun stuff guys.
What a pleasure to watch these episodes !!!
Seriously highlight of my week every week. Love from the UK
My two favorite "boutique" pedal builders together. Thanks for the tones guys.
I love that Brian is playing an epiphone. His podcast is awesome too. Awesome playing. Love this channel
Really great show - a get-together of some really humble, talented and generally good people.
This is either the third or fourth time I’ve enjoyed this episode.
The amount of knowledge on display here is remarkable, the contributions from the JHS team beyond Josh, the openness from Brian and of course the jams.
This has to be in the top ten episodes you’ve ever done from the JHS team perspective doesn’t it?
Thanks for doing these, all of you. They really are tremendously appreciated at least in this little outpost of the UK.
Keep up the inspiring work!
woah, thanks for watching!
Fantastic episode, Thanks
Fantastic episode Josh!!!👏🏻👏🏻Brian Wampler is an overdrive genius mentor!!!!I have the Ego compressor,the Gearbox,the Pantheon,the Belle and the Ratsbane and they all are awesome pedals with so much great tones!!!!🔥🎸👊🏻🙅🏻♂️😎
How does this video have only 2000 likes? It's easily one of the best JHS have ever done.
That moment when you see Brian Wampler’s settings on his Tumnus Deluxe in the top down.... and it’s the same as yours.... 🥺
Then... you hear his tone... 🤯
You are a gentleman and scholar Brian. JHS crew you ain’t half bad yourselves...
Someday ... there should be a Battle of the Jams - maybe even trans Atlantic: Lee & Pete v Mick and Dan v Josh and Brian etc. Viewers vote. Maybe each team allowed one ringer - a Tim Pierce, Pete Thorn, Paul Gilbert. Oh hell, just do a concert and sell tickets. Nah, that would spoil the chill.
I think the battle aspect would spoil the chill more than the ticket sales, but the transatlantic jam idea itself is good
@@Herfinnur I think you're probably right. The "Battle" part was just figurative speech. I'm sure these guys could keep it chill with whatever project they ever create. Just throwing everything out there while brainstorming - or brain dust deviling.
The Great Guitar Riff Off
Andertons vs norms?
The Pantheon is the greatest Overdrive pedal of all time.
Hands down the best ad I’ve ever seen.
This was very fun and informative. Brian is an awesome guy! Thanks JHS
Yes! Brian is amazing.
JHS and Wampler have blessed us with some truly great pedals made by passionate owners and employees that are like a Morning Glory on a pedal board. That foundation makes everything else on the board better and, ultimately, delivers tones that would be impossible to achieve without it.
I freakin love this channel:) Such a treat.
Omg, Josh’s slide tone in the end was absolutely amazing!
And notably better than Rhett’s.
Klons: If you bought your Centaur directly from Bill himself, he would spend 20 minutes or more on the phone with you, getting a sense of your rig, the sounds you were aiming for, and such. If Bill felt the Klon would not add value in your circumstances, he would discourage purchase. I don't know that he ever outright *refused* to sell, but he would say "This is not going to do much for you". Given that there was always more demand than stock, this was not slitting his own throat; merely a very honest sales practice. Unfortunately, those phone calls ate into his build time (unlike Josh, Bill actually did build each unit), which contributed to the backlog, that in turn contributed to the customer impatience and a market that was willing to pay big bucks instead of waiting 3 months. The difficulty this created was that none of the people willing to empty their bank accounts on E-bay to a re-seller *EVER* got the 20-minute call with Bill to see if the pedal was right for them. And of course, if you're paying $800, $1200, $1500+ for a pedal, you expect it to make you sound like the second coming, even if you play through a Frontman 25R amp. It's a great pedal, but NO pedal is that good.
And what is wrong with a Frontman 25R?
@@davemabee5798 I actually have one. It's a Champion110, but is identical to a Frontman 25R, and only differs by virtue of having a speaker-out jack on the front rather than a CD-in. Everything else is the same. S'okay. I use it to test out pedals I build. The Klon was developed to pre-condition an input signal to make a tube amp overdrive desirably. Nowhere was a TDA2040 or 2050-based amp *anywhere* within the perimeter of Bill Finnegan's thinking when he developed the Klon. Not dissing them, but nobody ever developed forks and knives to make soup a pleasure to eat, either.
price is relative to one's personal circumstances. Some people drop a bill on lunch, others dine on the dollar menu. Neither is wrong.
It is wrong if you "drop a bill" for a dollar menu meal. That's essentially what he's saying here. People paying for something they're not actually getting. You can't push a solid state amp.
@@rmaxtpmx Not if you tell them to "keep the change" otherwise it might be a bit much to expect them to be able to count that high. Besides, I don't think that's what he means.
This show is amazing I always look forward to the next episode love from Alabama
Just finished work, wached the vid . Live is good ,thanks
These videos make me feel so old. I remember when Indy guitarist started sharing projects on his geocities site, and I remember people started asking questions about JHS mods a few years later. It always make me happy when I see the people from back in the day that was willing to share is having success. Also make me regret not daring to start selling my own pedals.
Great show. Great jams!
I’ve never seen anyone spend anywhere near the production resources either of you does talking glowingly about competitors’ products. It’s simply remarkable.
So glad it was in person and not over zoom! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great show, I enjoyed the jams!
What a blast! Loved hearing Brian play. Still need more time with Joshua up front… what a legend!
Great video guys. You're two of my favorite effects wizards!
Morning glory + tumnus deluxe is an awesome combination
The more of these videos I watch, the more I want to become more relevant in the music/ guitar industry so I can hang out with you guys. Everything you guys reference, talk about, laugh about I jive with. From the Pearl Jam TEN album to your sense of humor... it's all my jam. ( Disclaimer: no pun intended)
Anyway, while I figure out this relevancy issue, you guys keep jam'n, slam'n, and laugh'n. You're creativity is inspiring, and I'm a fan of all involved!!!
Great show!!!!
Man, really needed this today.
Two of my favourite "pedal guys" in one video? What more do ya want?! For reference, I only have one pedal from each (so far): the Angry Driver (very versatile) and the Plexi-Drive Deluxe (one of the best Marshall-in-a-box pedals I've heard). Thanks for all the great pedal designs and innovations.
hi larry, high gain scooped marshall in a box is what i'm looking for. does the plexi-drive deluxe do that? thx :)
@@danriley903 I would say no. It's not super high gain unless you add the boost side, a tube screamer type circuit that pushes mids and cuts lows.
thx larry
the merch ad was actually hilarious. good job boys.
🖤
Congrats to Nick and his family! Summer lasts for 7-8 months in my nick of the woods. Unless it's raining. Then it's cooler, but also flooding.
Enjoyed the interview. The Wampler Belle is my always on, favorite pedal.
Two of my favorite Pedal makers put on a hell of a good show. BTW, as a recovering drummer you get an awesome drum tone.
Awesome show today!!!!😂👍🏾🔥
Brian and Josh creating pedal heaven! Wampler Gearbox, oh yes, I totally get the idea! My two Wampler pedals of all time (so far😁😉) are the Pinnacle and the Tumnus (V1), and I gate it with a tc Iron Curtain or a Boss NS-2 🤩😁
Damn damn damn, I was on the road for this one and couldn't tune in. Totally missed out. 😞
Love hearing Brian jam with the JHS crew, he adds a whole new element.
Congrats Nick!
Best episode ever!
It was great to be there and witness history🥃🐒
Subbed to both of your channels
Because you’re both amazing. Don’t stop!
Thank you!!!
Great episode guys.
I had a Wampler Ecstasy and it was “borrowed” and never returned. Loved that drive 😭. Bought the Belle this year. Tumnus and Plexi Drive are on the short list.
I bought Euphoria, cause the schematics remind me of Timmy. I never played Timmy, but Euphoria became veeery quickly my always on pedal,, not leaving my board, since I aquired it.
Man, just now saw this. So good! The jams were all awesome! Love love loved the Floyd inspired jam especially! Brian seems like such a good dude. I only live a few miles south of him as the crow flies and have been doing electronics my whole life, have a degree and work professionally in the field and still find myself amazed at his talent. Great episode! I would love to see something that nails the “Spirit in the Sky” fuzz tone as precisely as the original recording. Have yet to see anything hit it exactly.
I have his mini-Ego, Belle, and Terraformer on my board, and they’ll never leave.
Mini-ego, Tumnus Deluxe, Pantheon & Rats Bane have permanent spots. I’d like the Belle but already have a Timmy…
Full size Ego and Ratsbane here. Two of my favorite pedals.
I just got a Terraform and it's a fantastic addition to my board. I don't know that I ever would carve out the space for a phaser, flanger, wah, or filter, but I'm finding them super useful (fun) to have on tap. I'm surprisingly smitten with the Dimension setting.
Terraform was the best purchase I've made in 5 years!!!
What do they do? I mean, I can read about them, but I'd like to hear from users.
I like these kinds of interviews. I really would like to see Howard Gee in the show someday. That would be my most favorite JHS show of all time 😊
Great show! I agree with you Josh, Brian is one of the good ones, dare I say, great. I like the idea of you both teaming up as mentioned in the comments.
It was nice hearing another guitar jamming with you guys. You guys sound good alone don't get me wrong. But maybe a guest musician on the jams from time to time. I jam along with you guys on every episode. So much fun.
Collective… hmm, my Triumph should be here tomorrow. Thank you Brian for making another overdrive.
So cool he always promotes other pedals. 2 great pedal builders jamming out!!!
Best Jam Ever!!!
My man ! Klon on bass is pure gold! Glad to see someone else say it
The terraform looks amazing, I’ve yet to buy a Wampler pedal but totally want to, Brian seems like a great guy and is very knowledgeable. The pantheon and velvet fuzz sound amazing too.
Brian's videos are amazing I modded my first amp after watching his videos. I changed out the clipping diodes ina "kustom 12 gauge" for germanium diodes which drastically changed the breakup. Thank you. B
