    I'm always amazed by the comedy chemistry between Paul and Josh and I still hope for a JHS show with them. It's also funny how the FRM is a rather big guitar and in Josh's hands it looks like a toy :)

    I was walking to the taco shop around the corner a couple years ago and I noticed this tall stylish guy in front of his house who looked really familiar. "Hey! Is your name Paul?" I asked. "WHAT? I HAVE TROUBLE HEARING." he said. "ARE YOU A MUSICIAN?" I asked. "YEAH THAT"S WHY I CAN"T HEAR!" he replied. And that's the story of how I learned that Paul Gilbert lives in the house behind mine.

    I bought the pg-14 for exactly three reasons: I love Paul Gilbert, it looks cool, and the design seemed different so I didn't feel like I was buying "another" overdrive, even though I didn't really need it. Two years later and it's my #1 ride or die gain stage. I can get it to sound like anything and it works great with all my amps and all my guitars. Hope it gets some love from this video because it's incredible!

    The hearing loss issue. There is a theory that EVH’s tone changed over the hears due to him adjusting to his damaged ears. In other words those w healthy ears could hear the change but to him it sounded the same. And there is RUclips footage somewhere of Motörhead’s producer during Lemmy’s later years where the producer talks about this tug of war w Lemmy about his bass tone that basically came down to Lemmy wanting settings to suit what the producer guessed was Lem’s hearing loss (although to be fair even during his prime years the tone of a strummed Rick plugged into a Marshall was probably something only Motörhead fans could enjoy)

  • @smackofalltrades
    @smackofalltrades Год назад +5

    Late to this party but my favorite way to use the PG14 is to really crank the Push knob so that its super sputtery, and then when you turn on a Morning Glory before it, it cancels out the sputtering for rhythm stuff and then you just turn off the MG and youre back with sputtery leads. Probably the best 2-pedal drive combo

    When I got this pedal I didn't read the instructions, I just started turning knobs, and I'm glad I did it that way. I kinda got it for a Paul Gilbert sound, because I like that pushed mids, almost cocked wah drive sound. If I read the instructions and knew how to get that sound right away I might not have stumbled onto those other sounds the pedal has till much later. Very cool box.

I’ve had it since it was first released and it’s a keeper. I love that it does so many sounds from overdrive, fuzz, a dimed Marshall, a broken amp, and so much more. Not to mention it’s pink and teal with a sneaker on it.

Fantastic pedal - it even looks amazing. Great unboxing “experience” too: love JHS attention to detail.

    Hi Josh, I like the pedal a lot. A lot of distortion pedals have a very narrow range of settings that sound good, even if they have one really great sound. When I find a sound I like on the PG-14, there's a lot of wiggle room where I can play around with the sound and it still sounds good. Not everything is like that.

    As far as what to do with a glass slide when you’re not using it, try velcro. Steve Vai put a strip of velcro on the back of the headstock of one of his guitars and another strip of velcro on his slide. Then, he just sticks the slide to the back of his headstock when not in use. There’s a great video here on RUclips of Steve playing “Bad Horsie” that’s a really good example of this.

    I'm shocked JHS still hasn't quite shaken off their "reputation" in 2022 but things finally do seem to get better. All that stuff I feel like really stifled an honest conversation amongst consumers over how good your products are. I never see anyone recommend JHS for anything as a top choice and personally think it's due to that. Such as I think the Unicorn v2 may be the best Univibe option out there and even one of the better prices but yet you'll never hear anyone recommend.

      Not that anyone cares, but I got this pedal and I have to say it's pretty incredible. It's a powerful and versatile mid-boost into a vintage supro/marshall style amp-in-a-box that sounds truly amazing. It has a growl and sizzle that I absolutely love and it works with lots of different amps. I've been able to dial it in nicely on my marshall origin 50, my mesa rectover (clean channel) and my little supro 64 reverb. Definitely a keeper and Josh's explanation was key to understanding what this pedal is capable of. Wish he'd done it sooner....🙂

    I’ve never played another distortion pedal quite like it.
    I was running it into a JC so it was basically my Marshall channel but it’s just such a different kind of Marshall in a box than all the others. It’s squishy and flubby but that’s part of what makes it so satisfying to play. It’s like it’s leaving some room to be boosted. Sounds great with a tubescreamer in front just like a real amp would.

    I’m sorry. It wasn’t the pink, I wear 574’s that’s all!
    You’ve convinced me, I’ll try out high-top’s. I’m sure I’ll end up loving it!😔

    That 1674 quote was actually from an earlier incarnation of Mark Twain than the one most of us are familiar with, Samuel Clemens, B. 11/30/1885 - D. 4/10/1910.😁😁😁

    I thought I was interested in getting a pedal, but now I really want a Nissan FJM 4000! :)

    The E.J. thing was really cool. I wonder if Josh would join my band? We could use another guitar player and an over/dist/fuzz like that. Pretty cool. Is he a cat or a dog person? It really comes down to that. Seriously I love this show. I learn so much. Not everybody has something to teach me.
