Josh Scott's Klon sucks

- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- The JHS 3 Series Octave Reverb and Harmonic Tremolo are better than Josh Scott's $500,000 Klon Centaur and I'm going to prove it by traveling to JHS Headquarters in Kansas City, MO. Join me and Russ on our road trip halfway across the country to see what happens over at @jhspedals
The real $500,000 pedal was the friends we made along the way.
If you click these links and get the 3-Series pedals from zZounds, I'll get a small percent!

Emily, Russ, you all made these pedals sounds so good. Thank you!
Also, please come back.
or
maybe...
maybe we'll come to you...
😲💯(epic)
Road trip!
One road trip deserves another.
You should stay at Kansas, An Animè version of The Wizard of Oz wouldn’t be bad. You and the JHS’s band doing the soundtrack. And Yoko Kanno 😮😊❤
I think it is the best shimmer /reverb I've ever heard. Well done!
This was genuinely touching. So much stuff on RUclips is just weird, snarky, &/or mean - & this was just nice. A couple of Long Island kids going away to pedal camp. Nice. Happy - except when Emily cries at the end.
HAHAH "pedal camp"!! I love it! thank you so much for watching and for being here with us 🥰❤️
The trick is to force the algorithm to hide the mean. Haven’t had to see negativity on here in while! 🙏
Lonng Gisland!!!
pedal camp is a thing id sign up for pretty fast
Pedal camp is an amazing idea! I’d sign up in a heartbeat
“The real $500,000 pedal was the friends we made along the way”
iconic
♥️
1. Totally taking the Klon off my Christmas list now.
2. Best Record Time ever.
3. That was a real emotional rollercoaster.
LMAOOO it really was quite a journey ❤️😂 thanks for being here with us for the ride!!!
Emily violently tripping on the stairs had me dying lol
LMAOOO those boots are a DEATH TRAP but they're too cute to get rid of 🥺❤️
@@emilyharpist it's also the stairs. someone trips up those stairs every damn day.
Yea, I have to admit, I burst out...
To be honest, I did replay that part a few times myself. Hope it didn't hurt, though!
Same👀😅
Hearing Emily call Josh’s #2 Klon a “piece of shit” is the reason I subscribed. Btw, I play hurdy gurdy and you inspire me to try other effects with it and explore what it’s capable of.
I have always wondered what could be done with a hurdy gurdy with pedals.
@@willflint5014 check out a French artist named Gregory Jolivet! He plays an amazing electro-acoustic instrument through loopers and delays and all sorts.
@@GoingBrogue I will be sure to check them out! Thanks!
Geologist from Animal Collective has also been doing stuff with his hurdy gurdy and pedals/modular synths lately too if you haven't heard. Sounds so cool
@@TheSecretProvider hurdy gurdy and modular. 🎉🎉🎉
There is so much wonderful content in your videos that I sometimes forget how freaking good you are on harp. It sounds so lush and you play so well! Keep on rocking, Emily!
thank you so much, Loren!! 🥺❤️ I really appreciate your kind words! thanks for being here with us today 🥰
As an emotionless robot of a human, that ending tugged on my heart strings.
🥺❤️ lmao thankfully Russ only captured the first bit on camera as soon as we left but I was genuinely a big disgusting MESS
@@emilyharpist 😭😭😭😭
You are both so wonderful, give me hope for humanity
@@roryjineffect no u 🥺 thanks so much for being here with us today ❤
@@emilyharpist I am in for the ride with this channel.
OH! RANDOM THOUGHT! Find Melora Creager of Rasputina and collaborate! She is becoming active musically again.
emotionless robot would probably sound really good after being sent through a few nice effects 😉
I could legit watch a 2 hour long documentary of you guys. You're so lucky to be living a life around your music!
Thanks so much, Andrew! I really appreciate you 🥰❤️🎶
Being in a totally creative, non judgemental environment surrounded by toys, tools and amazing people is something most people NEVER get to experience. So it's understandable to see the emotion of it all when it comes to an end
I still miss them so much 🥺❤️
Truth. such mpoments can be fewer and farther between as life moves forward. Cherish them and be fully present for them.
The edge of guitar/harp entertainment... Thanks Nick, JHS Staff, Emily and Rhett Shull.
hahah thank YOU 🥰❤️
Those are really lovely-sounding shimmer reverb and harmonic trem pedals! Now we just need that budget bit crusher from JHS!
I KNOW RIGHT?!? fingers crossed 😂❤️
I'm not a musician or even an audiophile or anything... but I still feel sum jelly when I see you guys come together to make cool music in a room full of cool music stuff.
I ain't religious neither, but you were blessed by SOME cosmic being.
Emily I think you are the realist, coolest person to ever exist and your sense of humor is adorable. I wish I had a friend like you, I think anyone who knows should be lucky to. Thank you for you.
okay you *officially* made my day today. 😭❤️ thank you so much for the kind words, I can't even properly express how much that means to me 🥺
aw it's made my day that I've made your day. keep being you we love you!
The Shimmer reverb is a perfect complement to your harp. Beautiful, thank you!
I would never laugh at Emily falling down the stairs, but falling UP the stairs,... yep.
LMAOOO IT'S THESE DAMN BOOTS 😂❤️
@@emilyharpist I always trip on stuff after sitting in a car for nearly 20 hours! And honestly, doesn't it seem like it takes 10 hours to drive across Pennsylvania?
@@grandudetonesnob7107 HAHAHA IT REALLY DOES
I did a cross Pennsylvania trip at 13 in one of those massive vans full of teenagers - for a National Karate Tournament
It was the longest part, and def the worst
Ohio was a close second tho
@@EclipseAtDusk oh my, that driver has my sympathy!
You guys are so beautiful in every way. I love it. Also, that Eventide stream was SOOOO GOOOD!!! I can't wait for you guys to explore more of their line, especially Space (has everything Blackhole has and much much more) and maybe Time Factor/Mod Factor. Thank you for being you!!!
thank you so much for your kind words, Charles, and thanks for being here with us today!! I'm SO glad you enjoyed the Eventide stream (we're working on videos for those pedals too because Blackhole is just GORGEOUS on harp) and I'll check out the Time Factor/Mod Factor as well! 🥰❤️
"what a lame piece of $%&#" I almost spill my tea!!! hhahaha XD, thanks for just being yourself
hahah YOU KNOW I GOTTA SAY MY TRUTH 😂❤️ thanks for being here with us today, Peter!!
This is why I subscribed. Real people. You two are fun to hang out with on RUclips and I get great (and financially draining) pedal recommendations. And yeah, you are extremely talented also. If you were playing live near me I would get VIP tickets.
omg Jim your comment just made my day 🥺❤️ I really, really appreciate that, and I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel!! If I was playing live near you I would totally let you play a song on the harp during one bit of the show 👏😂
I love JHS, so cool to see you guys partnering up. I own most of their budget line. So good to see you collab with them.
I love JHS too!! 🥰❤️ I can't wait to go back and visit them again, we had such a fun time!!
@@emilyharpist Can you do the Pulp and Peel ?
That was a sweet, enjoyable video. A road trip to meet pedal friends. I would have loved for this to be longer. NB: I love that there is always a “when the cat is away, the mice will play “ vibe to the videos without Josh.
hahah I know right?! although I would have LOVED to meet Josh!! (there's always NEXT trip!) ❤️😂 we have a 28 minute video supercut of all the best behind-the-scenes action at JHS on my Patreon in case you're interested in seeing more of the silly stuff!! 🥰
You crying in the end makes me send you a virtual hug
*HUGS* 🥺❤️
I'm glad that you've found a portable record player that's just as high quality as a $500,000 reverb pedal.
LMAOOO thank you for making me laugh today 😂❤️
The final reaction to the Klon….. 😂 priceless….. you can’t klone that kind of truth.
#WiseWords ❤️😂
This is a wonderful video. It’s peak Em and Russ with a side order of JHS craziness.
HAHAH just the way we like it!! 😂❤️
@@emilyharpist absolutely 100.
Your playing cuts deep into my soul! It’s so emotional. Thanks for always sharing your amazing soul through your amazing music🥲🙏🏽
You should stay at Kansas, An Animè version of The Wizard of Oz wouldn’t be bad. You and the JHS’s band doing the soundtrack. And Yoko Kanno 😮😊❤
hahah I WISH I could live in Kansas!!! 🥰❤️
@@emilyharpist Josh’s Scott story with yours in an Animé version of the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy, I think we’re at Kansas! Their band, you 🙏🏽 … 🙂
@@emilyharpist I think the Klone’s amazing. Someday I’ll buy it from them 🙂
@@emilyharpist God bless greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
LOVED this episode! I didn't dive into the JHS channel until after I'd discovered you folks, so it's very cool to see those two worlds collide in such an entertaining way - from your perspective.
I also may need to ratchet up my "it's gotta be under $50, ideally under $20" threshold for pedal wallet damage, because I really liked both of those JHS pedals and reverb and tremolo are by far my two favorite effects. I have been able to find a few in each category that fit my extreme frugality and sound good to me, but I'd really love to hear what the extra outlay of cash can get me, especially in the reverb category.
As for the Klon, I think at this point it's become ridiculous, with many people convinced that because it's become insanely pricey it's gotta be great. I don't hear it. There's so little difference to my ears between the bazillions of distortion pedals... I mean, couldn't an EQ make any one of 'em sound like any other? I dunno... I like a little crunch as much as anyone else, but I'm never going to need what the market seems to care most about, which is a relentless onslaught of these things. Maybe when "classic rock" finally goes away and people my age finally give up on trying to sound like Jimi or Eddie or Yngvie or (insert hair band guitarist name here) we'll see other pedal categories begin to even things out a bit. There's more to guitar playing than imitating Led Zeppelin! There really is!
Random recommendation: John Fahey. Huge influence for me, very weird but important acoustic guitarist. Some of the music y'all make reminds me of his stuff a little.
Thanks for doing what you do, and sorry for the walls of text!
I live in Kansas City and have met the JHS crew many times and they are as funny,kind and nerdy as they seem. On behalf of everyone in KC, we'd love it if you moved here!
Okay I didn't think I was going to get emotional at the end, but I totally did. FRIENDSHIP for the win. EmRuss and JHS collabs are always the best. Could watch hours of this!!
Right?! Need a 20hour road trip vlog🤘😎
Harmonic Trem and a variety of versions of octave up Reverb settings are all over both of my albums. The Fender Treverb is my sub £200 pedal of choice.
"you should try a capo on it" damn that was funny Addison
This was the most fun ever!!! Emily and Russ, can’t wait until you both work at JHS.😉 And I didn’t think anything could skip worse than a disc-man until I saw the portable record player. Can you imagine someone on the bus just setting up a vinyl to spin😂😂
funnily enough my fav shimmer reverb was in a Multi-effects - the Line 6 M Series, their particle verb was just like
My Devin Townsend Ambient Button
Need to use that one more again tbh
Really!? Maybe I spoke too soon, I haven’t tried them all 🤔
Devin is a guitar monster and puts on an amazing show
Aw it's so nice of Uncle Em to drive you all the way there! It's nice to see you have so much fun 😊 I hope you get to come back soon.
HAHAH UNCLE EM 👏😂 I really hope we get to come back soon, too -- I already miss everyone so much!! 🥺❤️
Another great video. And I have tripped up stairs many times. You were able to do it without a cavalcade of obscenities like I normally make, so good on ya.
😭😭😭🥰🥰😭😭😭 what a truly heartwarming video!
I also really laughed at the Klon assessment...I mean it was a nice sound on harp, but your reactions were definitely warranted! 😂
Emily Hopkins: we only feature the best. 0:45
😳😳😳
Not a music person but your videos always put a smile on my face. Keep it up :)
oh thank you so much, Shane!!! that means a lot to me; thanks for being here with us! 🥰
So good to see your adventures at JHS. Love those new 3 series!
thank you so much!! 🥰🎶 I had an amazing time visiting everyone, and I can't wait to go back!!
Greetings from Ohio! We have nice stuff, it's all very easy to miss, or hard to find and in some cases we dont have it. JHS looks like such a fun place. I hope this channel brings you more great people and places to visit so we can come along and have fun. Thank you all JHS crew. Love it as always CHEERS!!!
"We got the rental car...it's packed to shit." Man, I love Long Island.
😂
Emily, go on the TV and order that chair you sit in that climbs the stairs for you. Then you have it and we won't have to see you breaking your bones. It's on late at night and you can get it and hook it up wherever you go.😇
Thanks for including all the hilarious outtakes.
HAHAH thank you for watching!! so glad you enjoyed it ❤️😂
Remember Emily, you're not a klutz, you're handicapable. Just have a care-giver with you at all times, because we enjoy all your content.
You guys always make me smile. Thank you.
I really love your vids.I play guitar and I'm always looking to your feed for pedal ideas.And your music...don't get me started!!!!Great stuff...thank you!!😊
I never thought in watching a harp channel to see guitar effect pedals. Keep on with the great content, this vlog/documentary/demo video format is really entertaining 😊.
Emily, as usual we'll done! Your music is consistently beautiful and inspiring, I think your use of pedals w your harp is really unique. Also you always highlight aspects of the pedals beyond the guitars reach. I am a folk instrument enthusiast btw 20+ yrs guitar ect.
That earthquake wear you are sporting is dope! Also another lovely performance
Emily: "I can play this... or this ... or this...?"
Everyone: "Yes."
Awesome video, Em! Very nice demo of the 3 pedal series and awesome extra content with the JHS guys and your road trip!
Also... "We're a highly curated channel here. We only feature the best. *insert fart pedal*"
HAHAH thank you so much, Eduardo!! you know I HAD to include the fart pedal there...! 😂❤
That behind the scenes look at The JHS Show was super fun!
I feel like that expression pedal mouth controller thing would go really well in a hand puppet's mouth
OMG it really would!
That bit where you explain the different feel to the different arpeggios. Brilliant! more please…
thank you so much, Margaret!! 🥰
Some thoughts on harmonic tremolo. It cannot be debated that the best examples of harmonic tremolo are the early 1960's Fender "brownface" amps. In my experience there are two types of harmonic tremolo, the trem on the bigger amps are more intense, squishier and can veer into univibe territory if you want. Maybe it's because of the bigger power tubes? The smaller amps like the Princeton I have are a more "normal" type tremolo but with that super special, extra something added to the mix. If there was a pedal that did both of those types pretty much exactly like brown Fenders I'd probably sell my Princeton and get that pedal tomorrow.
You need to do a record with Fourtet. Your sound with his musical ideas could be spectacular!
You guys would like driving outback Australia. The roads are basically following the old property boundaries so it's like: go straight 25km, make a turn, go straight 30km, make a turn... ad infinitum.
The Klon is a testament to how ridiculously expensive musical gear can get.
And it's not even worth it. Just buy a clone. The Wampler Tumnus is amazing.
Jeez, Em. You amaze me every time I watch these vids. You're such a phenomenal musician. I just hope to be able to play my guitar even half that good at some point very far in the future lol! 🙏😁🤘
KC is rad! Lived here my whole life lol I’m glad you enjoyed your visit!
Emily you almost killed me… “What a useless piece of 💩 “ about the half million dollar, legendary KLON 😂
P.S. love your smile as always.
As a guitar player, I feel it's safe for me to say that we are constantly telling ourselves that that fucking emperor has clothes on.
8:30. I LOVE the blunt response. Last bit sounded nice after the gain and treble were adjusted. Thing is, I don't know that many of us have the ear to hear whatever subtleties this may have.
i think its overlooked, but the pieces you decide to play for such specific sounds and tones from all sorts of pedals, are always perfect to really get an idea of what these pedals can do.
The stuff you're playing at about 6:20 has a very David Wise of Donkey Kong Country fame vibe to it. Which is amazing. Love it.
I had to watch this a couple times, and I appreciate you feeling open enough to share how you felt. I also want to stay there! But only to be a fly on the wall. Looks like it was the best time.
Really wanted to see you try out some of the Lovetone pedals they were handing you. The Meatball is a personal favorite of mine!
How cute the end is! Pedal demos, not only in order to sell, just friendly way of life!
🥺❤️ I'm a big baby
@@emilyharpist But an authentic one. Never change that.
my only complaint is i wish this video was longer
Emily falling up the stairs is my favorite thing today lol😂😂😂
Holy smokes I thought I missed a Series 3 shimmer release, turns out this is one!
YOU MADE IT 👏🥳🎶
Oh man… That part at the end there genuinely made me tear up. Y’all are awesome. You make videos that are kind-hearted, fun, and inspiring. I’m not crying. You’re crying. 🥲
Amazing as always! You gotta try running a pitchfork through the octave reverb 😎
*_ROADTRIP!!!_*
It's been forever since I took a roadtrip; like, ten years. Went up to Fairbanks for a statewide LARP get-together.
LARPing sounds so fun!! Everybody needs a good road-trip once in a while!! 🥰❤️ can’t wait for the next stream Wednesday!
Not gonna lie: I actually like how the harp sounds through the Klon. It reminds me of that lead sound Tycho uses a lot, although I doubt that's worth $500,000.
The alternating notes at 6:19 are just so amazing. Which of your album's has that "like clouds" song? (In that pure form minus the $500,000 klonic distortion hehe).
I was so sad for you at the end, I hope you guys get to hang out again soon!
ME TOO 😭❤️ did not expect to cry like a baby when I left. lmao
we're really trying to get them to move here. if josh ever just...disappears, you know what happened.
i like how he just gave up opening the trunk
just from the intro, I could see you doing a kid's show on tv. Like a music appreciation seasame street kinda thing.
Hahah funny you say that! something like that is coming! STAY TUNED!
Great stuff, and the end was very touching. Someone give Emily a hug!
Man your channel is a goldmine!!!!!!!!
The title alone is golden! Can't wait to watch it.
This is the best combination, the best collaboration. Thanks for doing it and keep it up!!
Awwww, you're a kind soul ... I felt your grief as you left.
No idea where this channel came from, but I dig it. The harp is pretty wild with all the pedals.
Love the collab with JHS. So much good stuff here. Pedal Road Trip FTW
Welcome back to KC! Also that trem sounds awesome. This 3-series is really testing my GAS resistance.
The best feeling is when Emily says one of her favorite pedals is one you just got and enjoy.
I originally subscribed for Emiliy's harp playing, but I keep coming back for Russ' fabulous hair.
I kinda had a mind-blown moment when he flipped the switch to down on the octave reverb.
It's that "last day of summer camp" feeling. I can relate.
I actually have that Shipwreck AD 7" (slime green tentacle thingy) you almost tried on the portable record player. What a coincidence!
Seeing Emily cry made me so nostalgic dude. I also want to be with my friends and have fun all the time with them (I hate being an adult🥹)
ohhhh Daniel I'm so sorry for making you sad!! I wasn't even sure I should include that crying bit at the end cus I was embarrassed that I cried so much but Russ said it was sweet so I was like "ok FINE" hahah I really love the folks at JHS and wasn't expecting to get so attached to them so quickly. they're genuinely my good friends now and I can't wait to go back and visit them again 🥺❤️

"Where's the cool stuff?"
Welcome to the Midwest, Emily
LMFAOOO ❤️😂
@@emilyharpist Thanks for the shout-out! Glad you enjoyed your visit, but sorry to see that leaving upset you. I'm sure you'll get to see all your friends again. Maybe you can move to Missouri, & experience all the cool stuff the Midwest has to offer besides your cool friends lmao
bro how are u gonna release a klon video when I was deep diving klon lore like two days ago y'all are psychic xoxo
mwahahahah I'm readin ur mind ❤️😂
I have a bunch of overdrives which I used on my pedal board and I swore I would NEVER pay over $200 for one!! Well, I broke my promise!! I stack overdrives in a way that the cleanest one (Lovepedal's OD11) becomes my boards amp and started using Jetter's Gold which is very cool of what I like for a smooth sounding, creamy OD, but then I spent (and I'm not wealthy!) almost $400 on the King Tone " The Duellist" which has 2 OD's, the "String-Singer" which is Tube Screamer like that you can leave it on and it cleans up like a tube amp, and the "Heavy Hand" which is like a Marshall "Guvnor" (I like to say it with a "Monty Python" accent!! You can go from clean to a Godzilla crunch by blending these channels!! But the one thing I'm missing is a nice reverb which I'm thinking the JHS you suggested for my AC30 hardwired and thanks to my friend Emily (The Queen of Harps!!) I will be checking one out!!!! Thank's Emily!!! I'm not crazy about the Klon
😶
The ending to this video was so adorable and made the whole thing worth it.
that Pennsylvania drive is the worst not because it's hard to navigate but because it feels like it will never end.
It was 200% the worst part of the drive. It’s never-ending!
I've got a 69-dollar-ish chinese amazon reveb with a pretty good shimmer switch, the plate setting it cool too. But I only use it in the efx loop of the EH Superego.
I didn’t think I’d be interested in shimmer reverb at all but this sounds really nice. The 3 Series Hall Reverb is also a wonderful, affordable reverb from JHS.
Didn't expect to see a harp video today but now I'm suddenly all into the harp.
mwahahaha WELCOME TO THE HARP WORLD
“Stop STOP! That’s not safe!” 😂😂😂
Touching and genuine, as always.
Thank you for sharing.
P.S: I'm a messy stairway climber as well!
Thanks so much! Stairs are HARD!
