Keep fighting the good fight. No ethyl alc equals more money and focused time to practice, improve, and more money buy pedals. Check your navigation . Buckle down. Hold fast. And dig in. You got this!

Good one. About the ekoverb, I mailed Flamma (quick response btw): "When I power up my pedals via powerboard the Ekoverb is NOT "on". Meaning, the LED lights are out. Now one would assume hitting the BYPASS button would start it. No. I need to physically disconnect it from AC, then re-connect it, then the LED light up." The answer was "I have checked with our engineer team and was told that this is how it designed". Fair enough. But this little thing keeps me from using it because I just do not want to do this every day. Sounds great btw. And built quality is good, too.
@@MrFatshit6 Yeah, thats why I contacted them. I really thought I do something wrong, ha ha. I just put it on my 2nd board a few days ago, but mostly use the Polara + Flashback and do not even bother to power up the ekoverb. A pity.
you loved and were shocked over the Donner Island multi function delay during Ryan @60CycleHum affordaboard review... this new FLAMMA love is freaking me out
The Flamma FS02 reverb, big reverb, is on my board and I have not found a replacement yet. I have found some great reverbs, but my favorite mod reverb is the Flamma.
I actually grabbed one of these the other day because this dude I saw was using it for this cool reverse setting on that blue delay. Josh is talking it up pretty hard, I have yet to try it I'm excited. I get stuck looking at the same brands for options most of the time.
On their website they make the pedals look 4 times the size. :-) Also, the day after this video, half the mini pedals you demoed are sold out on amazon. :-)
I grabbed the Mini Overdrive. The mini neon green Mod pedal wasn't available on Amazon (figures), but I ordered through Flamma directly. The Overdrive comes tomorrow, the other...well, who the hell knows.
I understand that many people are interested in affordable guitar products from China. I make a concerted effort to only buy American made guitar products so I am moving on to another video.
Loving the sound of these, but in the UK, these are not what I would call budget! Most of them seem to weigh in at more than the JHS Series 3 pedals...
And I watch them for the pedals. And also the jams, because they're a part of the story of the pedals. The humor to me is just the cherry on top. But what a cherry!
I resurrected my Yamaha FX500 after leaving it in an old pedal board I haven’t gone near in 20 years. New power supply, still works including my presets and factory preset 40 'Soft Focus'. Wonders never cease.
I love how these guys are so agnostic about gear and how passionately they praise their competitors. When I am rich, I will buy one of every JHS pedal. For now, I will watch the RUclips.
It shows just how good of a marketing tactic this is. It is often called the 'soft cell' and has been used for a long time. I would say JHS have mastered this strategy.
Starting to wonder if that's the strategy... Point out all the kick ass cheap pedals so they raise their prices, and then... JHS is a whole lot better and just a little bit more cash, so... $$$. On the other hand, Josh just loves pedals. Rising tide raises all ships.
I know of an American company who came out with a great budget line and who pay their employees a fair wage here in the United States, they're called JHS.
The budget lines is ace but they're still beyond my budget. I do appreciate their made and paid strategy though. I have yet to find a budget recco from Josh that is "budget" in Australia.
I heard that a JHS employee contract specifies that Josh’s employees have to buy him a new pedal each month and if it’s a pedal he doesn’t already owns he gives that employee a Christmas Ham...and the day off!!
- We can do anything we want. We choose our destiny. - Sometimes melody meets tone in a brand new way. - Less coffee, more gear. - If it sounds good it is good. Is this the most philosophical a JHS episode has gotten? I'm leaning towards yes. Plus all of these deserve to be on merch.
A real guitarist - a guy that can play a an amazing and charismatic guitar part that fits with a band and not just noodle around those fucking "modes" that Beato waffles on about interminably.
Colombia makes GREAT pedal! Juan Valdez suggests buying a “Chock full o’ Tone” coffee / guitar pedal… with settings for: dishwater, Espresso, cafe con leche, black, American, Turkish… with knobs for sugar, milk, cream, and a “caf/decaf/half caf” switch… combine your love of coffee and tone!
Meh, just buy a Helix and worry about playing more. Tom Bukovac said he wishes he would have just stopped at his first good amp and guitar and played more. The never ending quest for gear and tone is a quest for those of mediocre riffs and limited chops
@@WarrenBey That's a great argument for some types of gear but doesn't really apply to pedals. You can't just practice your way into the same final product, the only way to get the sound that a certain pedal provides is often to just have that pedal.
@@TheSquareOnes I would make a counter argument and say stop chasing other peoples sounds and try harder to make your own. Dude, I figured out how to make R2-D2-like robot noises the other day on my guitar. I rarely play with effects. But when you try to make something new I really think sky is the limit. Especially with these new DSP modeling units. I saw a guy one night that had 3 Eventide H9's on his board.
@@WarrenBey I don't think that even applies here, nothing about wanting a tape delay or whatever implies "chasing someone else's sound." It's alright to enjoy an existing effect and want to use it in your own music. This whole conversation just seems very strange on a youtube channel whose entire point is showcasing cool pedal effects people might want to try.
@@TheSquareOnes well, somewhere here you've confused ownership of a sound to the biggest problem with gear demos today. We live in a time of choice fatigue. JHS and the thousands of other gear channels are bombarding us with daily choices. All for that greedy RUclips money. I had a serious gear addiction where I was spending thousands of dollars a week on gear when I really could have just stopped at a Helix and two guitars. Everyone is trying to reinvent the wheel and hardly no one is trying to play more guitar.
I’m so late to this JHS Show addiction. Just commenting to say I went straight to your merch page for the “My hair is long My pants are tight My music’s loud My colors are bright” shirt and I was terribly disappointed. I love you guys ha ha
MB5 = mesa boogie V. Love the coverage of great sounding reasonably priced gear and not yet another 'the original klon is better' video. Keep 'em coming.
Whenever JHS release a new video, i'm always waitin' for "He Has the Box", "Wurdz iz Hard" and my most favourite "I Don't Have this Pedal, Am I Gonna Survive ? (I Just Had to Have that Pedal) the reason why i get up everyday...
I know this is off base but could you please do a video on how you get your drums to sound so good. Mic positions and Processing etc. they sound better than most of the drum channels. If you have already done this and I just missed it please give link. Thanks
I couldn’t agree more. So many of my favourite drum tones are on JHS demos lately! Other than being well mic’d and well performed, I’m fairly certain the JHS Colour Box does some heavy lifting on the drums in these vids.
Josh has made me look at guitar pedals like I looks at cats: I want to play with all of them and ideally take them home. Thank you for teaching me how to stop worrying and love the bomb...sounds.
When I see others like myself being able to address our kinds of weirdness in a public setting, I must commend you for your honesty and bravery. Sincerely, Guy sitting amongst a bunch of cats and a bunch of pedals
Watching this while drinking my home made coffee. (A secret that big coffee doesn't want you to know btw. Homemade coffee is the loophole to having both coffee and gear). All this coffee hate has me slightly triggered... It could be the caffeine, not sure. I'll just wipe my tears with the instruction manuals of my pedals.
i can only pray that you one day know how much respect i have for you and your company. not many others will review and give stellar reviews even of a brand that can be seen as "competition." I get it, every pedal does something a little different and that removes the comp, but wow.... I promise, I will purchase one of your pedals before long. Thanks Josh... you rock bud
@Deleting RUclips isn’t easy. Depends on how much one ultimately makes. Pre-COVID, here in the Seattle area, a few restaurants were doing away with tipping. Some waitstaff and back of house folks were reporting considerably less income without tips but had an increased wage. Haven't heard how things are working out in the COVID era.
Flamma are made by Harley Benton, a budget guitar company who make outrageously good guitars for really cheap. I have a Dual Humbucker Tele from them that absolutely rules.
Not that it's hugely important, but one thing that I found with my Flamma modulation pedal (the bigger one in yellow) is that it's labeled to run on 300mA. I measured it myself and it was pulling more like 200mA. Still, it's one of the highest amperage out of all of my pedals so I kinda keep an eye on amperage if I'm daisy-chaining it.
So far I have the stereo delay, the distortion, and the stand-alone auto-way pedals from Flamma. All of them sound fantastic. The stereo reverb and modulation pedals are on my to-buy list for the near future. Great brand.
Great demo of the best budget pedals on the market. (Pretty sure they are using Mooer OEM as the delay and reverb are similar to the Mooer 7 series.) Wish you had shown everyone the use of the 2 channels oltion on the Preamp and the Cab sim. Coral = Two Rock, Blueeye = Friedman BE MB5= Mesa Mark 5.
I've bought two Flamma pedals. Both failed within minutes. The Ekoverb would work for about two minutes and then needed to be power cycled to work again fo another two. The Modulation sounded broken from the moment it was plugged in and became entirely non functional after about 10 minutes.
@@antcantcook960 Flamma specs them for a 300mA power supply which is higher than a lot of pedals, so I can see why you'd think that, but the issue was the same on 300, 500 and 600mA power supplies, so, nice try. I'm sure most of them work fine, but I'm not inclined to throw more money at them to find out.
One of the really cool things about the preamp is that it is a 2 channel amp sim. It has both the clean and dirty channels of those amps which you can switch between using the footswitch. Not only that, you can set the EQ for each channel separately. I use mine mostly for headphone playing and it does a great job for that. The cabsim is OK, nothing amazing. But it's cool that you can turn it on or off depending on if you are using it with a real cab.
I own a handful of Flamma products plus a few from Joyo. They're in the same price range and make similar products. Unfortunately a few of them have come with performance and reliability issues or sound quality that is lackluster. I prefer having lots of inexpensive pedals to having just a few high end ones but the Wampler Terraform buries the Joyo Vision. The Flamma Preamp and Cab pedals both sound really good but they can be glitchy and the Preamp gets so noisy under certain conditions that I considered returning it. Their FX100 multi effects has some really good amps but it's a mixed bag as far as reverbs and dirt. The editing software is straight forward and editing on the device is a whole lot easier than my Boss multi effects unit, which requires a text book and a RUclips playlist to understand. The one budget brand that's had consistent quality in my experience is Caline. Every product of theirs I've used has sounded fantastic. It makes me wonder if they'll ever make a proper multi effects beyond those side-by-sides and OEM fly rig look-alikes.
Man, that ring mod acid blues made me realize a gonkulator with separate switching for drive and gonk would be awesome... wonder if that exists on the gonkulator market...
How about a ModTone episode? They fall into that $50 look cool, sound cool, why have they not yet been inflated on Reverb due to a JHS episode category.
I'm sure it's been asked a million times, but just what kind of coffee is Josh drinking that costs so much? Can I get it in bags/k-cups to brew at home?
I’d love to find out what these factories look like and what the average employee who builds these boxes lives like. As a pedal historian I think an objective deep dive of this topic would be amazing. Too bad Josh would end up in a prison and Nick would mysteriously vanish while filming in China.
@@yijiancai1651 ASsneither an American or a Chinese, I'm sure that the average factory worker in China has better wages, working and living conditions than their American equivalent. AS for the idea of child slave labour making complex electronic devices in basements, well, I think that's just silly. My comment was purely a joke about Josh's height, nothing to do with China.
@@yijiancai1651 You are correct, but that’s because we’ve been burned in the past and those of us who are trying to buy ethically, well, we care about who is profiting and who is being exploited. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to travel to China and do a personal factory inspection of every place that I purchase from. In the US, we can at least assume that employers aren’t keeping slaves or asking undocumented citizens to work, we can ensure that employees are working under safe conditions and being paid a (hopefully) living wage. So, yes, perhaps we are more ignorant of the working conditions in China, but you’d be wrong to assume that China has a glowing track record of worker’s rights. (And that’s not to say that the US is doing much better, but again, we have some basic rules that people play by here.)
I have the “big” modulation pedal, the yellow one. It’s great, I haven’t fully explored all it can do. It’s a little annoying that the list of modulations is on the side of the pedal, so when it’s stuck to my board, I can’t see what the different modes are. I had to print out a list which is now another piece of paper on my desk. I wish there was at least an abbreviated description on the front of the pedal. There is room for that. All that said, it’s a great pedal for a great price.
I have that one and thought the same thing. I also get option paralysis with so many features. And it seems to affect tone, or maybe I need to adjust a setting.
That pedal is half trash. I had one and returned it. Loved some of the sounds but it wouldn't behave. Memory presets wouldn't load properly. Glitches out constantly. Got the smaller green version but you have to unplug it every time you cut power to your pedal board. It also has a noticeable volume drop. The ring mod and tremolo are very fun but it's a toy I would never use live.
Agreed. Sometimes you don't need to know you just need to know. MB 5th gen. I'm guessing like a late model Mesa Boogie? Also, I don't think that's coffee. Are you sure you're not talking about cocaine? That sounds more like cocaine. There's a better way of doing it than drinking it in a cup btw.
When I see digital mod / verb / delay / amp sim pedals with lots of voices, I can't help comparing them to a full-blown multifx like the Zoom G3n (or even the plastic G1 four.) I assume it is far easier to tweak individual pedals while you are playing, but the accessibility of saved pedal chains and the cost-per-available-effect is just mind-blowing in the multifx.
The Zoom MS-50G is a great multi effects pedal for the price. Presets are easy to make up using the free Tonelib app via smartphone and USB cable. So many sound choices are available as well as noise gates and compressors etc in one small pedal. A real keeper on my pedal board or as a practice tool using an attached stereo adapter cable and headphones. Hours of creativity!
I have two Flamma's. They're fun to play with. But I didn't keep them for myself. Gifting them to my teenage daughter who's gotten into guitar and music.
All I heard was cocaine, acid, and mushroom… and I thought Josh was so wholesome… Jeez! Jk I loved it like all the episodes and I don’t even play guitar lol
Not coffee, but when I stopped drinking alcohol I could afford more gear. Downside, now that I'm sober I realized I'm not that great of a player!😅😅
Less booze more boosts. I like it.

Ah crap, I've thought the same thing but didnt want to admit it.

Some waitstaff and back of house folks were reporting considerably less income without tips but had an increased wage. Haven't heard how things are working out in the COVID era.
Flamma are made by Harley Benton, a budget guitar company who make outrageously good guitars for really cheap. I have a Dual Humbucker Tele from them that absolutely rules.
From where you that info?
Because I can't find anything related to that on the internet
What coffee are you drinking for $29 :D

Not that it's hugely important, but one thing that I found with my Flamma modulation pedal (the bigger one in yellow) is that it's labeled to run on 300mA. I measured it myself and it was pulling more like 200mA. Still, it's one of the highest amperage out of all of my pedals so I kinda keep an eye on amperage if I'm daisy-chaining it.
I have a Donner Soph Gate pedal and it also has a higher amperage (200mA) than I’m use to seeing on noise gates.
Alot of the digital pedals ask for 300mA, but most of them seem to pull about 170mA.
so when can we buy the "if you stop buying coffee you can have more gear" t-shirt?

So far I have the stereo delay, the distortion, and the stand-alone auto-way pedals from Flamma. All of them sound fantastic. The stereo reverb and modulation pedals are on my to-buy list for the near future. Great brand.
I have the stereo reverb ..it's very good..
Great demo of the best budget pedals on the market. (Pretty sure they are using Mooer OEM as the delay and reverb are similar to the Mooer 7 series.)
Wish you had shown everyone the use of the 2 channels oltion on the Preamp and the Cab sim.
Coral = Two Rock,
Blueeye = Friedman BE
MB5= Mesa Mark 5.
Those little kids in china solder pretty good
I've bought two Flamma pedals. Both failed within minutes. The Ekoverb would work for about two minutes and then needed to be power cycled to work again fo another two. The Modulation sounded broken from the moment it was plugged in and became entirely non functional after about 10 minutes.
Odd. I've had my flamma reverb pedal for several months and I use it weekly. Never had an issue.
Ha you’re too stupid to realize you’re underpowered g them.
@@antcantcook960 Flamma specs them for a 300mA power supply which is higher than a lot of pedals, so I can see why you'd think that, but the issue was the same on 300, 500 and 600mA power supplies, so, nice try. I'm sure most of them work fine, but I'm not inclined to throw more money at them to find out.
The time travel point tracks really well with the coffee prices, I'm pretty sure coffee's going for close to $30 here in 2024
One of the really cool things about the preamp is that it is a 2 channel amp sim. It has both the clean and dirty channels of those amps which you can switch between using the footswitch. Not only that, you can set the EQ for each channel separately. I use mine mostly for headphone playing and it does a great job for that. The cabsim is OK, nothing amazing. But it's cool that you can turn it on or off depending on if you are using it with a real cab.
With these facts, I will proceed to purchase 👌🏾thanks
I own a handful of Flamma products plus a few from Joyo. They're in the same price range and make similar products. Unfortunately a few of them have come with performance and reliability issues or sound quality that is lackluster. I prefer having lots of inexpensive pedals to having just a few high end ones but the Wampler Terraform buries the Joyo Vision. The Flamma Preamp and Cab pedals both sound really good but they can be glitchy and the Preamp gets so noisy under certain conditions that I considered returning it. Their FX100 multi effects has some really good amps but it's a mixed bag as far as reverbs and dirt. The editing software is straight forward and editing on the device is a whole lot easier than my Boss multi effects unit, which requires a text book and a RUclips playlist to understand. The one budget brand that's had consistent quality in my experience is Caline. Every product of theirs I've used has sounded fantastic. It makes me wonder if they'll ever make a proper multi effects beyond those side-by-sides and OEM fly rig look-alikes.
It’s a nice juxtaposition: “budget” pedals on the same board as a Klon
Man, that ring mod acid blues made me realize a gonkulator with separate switching for drive and gonk would be awesome... wonder if that exists on the gonkulator market...
How about a ModTone episode? They fall into that $50 look cool, sound cool, why have they not yet been inflated on Reverb due to a JHS episode category.
I'm sure it's been asked a million times, but just what kind of coffee is Josh drinking that costs so much? Can I get it in bags/k-cups to brew at home?
I’d love to find out what these factories look like and what the average employee who builds these boxes lives like. As a pedal historian I think an objective deep dive of this topic would be amazing. Too bad Josh would end up in a prison and Nick would mysteriously vanish while filming in China.
A prison where he would constantly bump his head on the roof.
Go look at how amazon workers get treated to get an idea
Still amazing to me so many Americans are ignorant of the world outside. Go visit china and see yourself before saying that
@@yijiancai1651 ASsneither an American or a Chinese, I'm sure that the average factory worker in China has better wages, working and living conditions than their American equivalent. AS for the idea of child slave labour making complex electronic devices in basements, well, I think that's just silly.
My comment was purely a joke about Josh's height, nothing to do with China.
@@yijiancai1651 You are correct, but that’s because we’ve been burned in the past and those of us who are trying to buy ethically, well, we care about who is profiting and who is being exploited. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to travel to China and do a personal factory inspection of every place that I purchase from. In the US, we can at least assume that employers aren’t keeping slaves or asking undocumented citizens to work, we can ensure that employees are working under safe conditions and being paid a (hopefully) living wage. So, yes, perhaps we are more ignorant of the working conditions in China, but you’d be wrong to assume that China has a glowing track record of worker’s rights. (And that’s not to say that the US is doing much better, but again, we have some basic rules that people play by here.)
whoever dislikes this video probably spilled their coffee on their gear
I have the “big” modulation pedal, the yellow one. It’s great, I haven’t fully explored all it can do. It’s a little annoying that the list of modulations is on the side of the pedal, so when it’s stuck to my board, I can’t see what the different modes are. I had to print out a list which is now another piece of paper on my desk. I wish there was at least an abbreviated description on the front of the pedal. There is room for that. All that said, it’s a great pedal for a great price.
I have that one and thought the same thing. I also get option paralysis with so many features. And it seems to affect tone, or maybe I need to adjust a setting.
That pedal is half trash. I had one and returned it. Loved some of the sounds but it wouldn't behave. Memory presets wouldn't load properly. Glitches out constantly. Got the smaller green version but you have to unplug it every time you cut power to your pedal board. It also has a noticeable volume drop.
The ring mod and tremolo are very fun but it's a toy I would never use live.
Agreed. Sometimes you don't need to know you just need to know. MB 5th gen. I'm guessing like a late model Mesa Boogie? Also, I don't think that's coffee. Are you sure you're not talking about cocaine? That sounds more like cocaine. There's a better way of doing it than drinking it in a cup btw.
When I see digital mod / verb / delay / amp sim pedals with lots of voices, I can't help comparing them to a full-blown multifx like the Zoom G3n (or even the plastic G1 four.) I assume it is far easier to tweak individual pedals while you are playing, but the accessibility of saved pedal chains and the cost-per-available-effect is just mind-blowing in the multifx.
The Zoom MS-50G is a great multi effects pedal for the price. Presets are easy to make up using the free Tonelib app via smartphone and USB cable. So many sound choices are available as well as noise gates and compressors etc in one small pedal. A real keeper on my pedal board or as a practice tool using an attached stereo adapter cable and headphones. Hours of creativity!
I have two Flamma's. They're fun to play with. But I didn't keep them for myself. Gifting them to my teenage daughter who's gotten into guitar and music.
All I heard was cocaine, acid, and mushroom… and I thought Josh was so wholesome… Jeez! Jk I loved it like all the episodes and I don’t even play guitar lol
