Hi guys, thanks for having me be a part of this! One correction, Alain and Chris played the guitars on Euphoria Morning which came out.. in 2000 or 2001. I wasn’t in the picture til 2007! :) I did record with Chris, and of course toured but all those killer guitars/tones/parts on Euphoria, many of which I learned for tour, were Alain and Chris. Rock on dudes! 🤟
Pete: A supercomputer of tone and wonder Colin: Gnarliest pedal award goes to you (Ibanez FL9) RJ: The Arnold Schwarzenegger of boards Rhett: A tone snob's wet dream Steve: The mojo is palpable Me: Proof that a clean room adds at least 12% more tone P.S. My floors are real oak you guys know my position on tonewood c'mon
Yea Tyler that laminate has no sustain. U gotta go solid board floors for the best frequency response. Also I think Colin's whole board is pretty gnarly. But if ur HM-2 doesn't look like that you've made some poor life decisions
Rhett is a huge dork. He reminds me of that kid you introduced to a band and the next week he tries to tell you everything about your favorite band but most of the info is nonsense he found on the internet.
@@Halliday7895 he has this vibe of newfound pretentiousness. Like someone who has just fancied themselves a wine connoisseur last week or something like that.
Absolutely agree on talking heads. Stop making sense show has some amazing rhythm. Even that acoustic psycho killer opener with just David Byrne. And then countless live shows from the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir.. especially the entire decade of the 70s. Insanely good. The whole band's rhythm section is firing in 77-78, go back to 1972-1974 for very unique rhythm work paired with Jerry Garcia's lead. It's incredible. I'll also throw in Hunter Brown from STS9.. his live use of the wah pedal is the pure funk. He took inspiration from the early James Brown vibe and then totally turned it on its head. He stole it and now owns it! For those sounds I would check out live shows from 2005-2007. Not that the other years aren't good, but a good starting place.
Watched a documentary on Talking Heads recently where D. Byrne said that they tried to mimic Fela Kuti, failed, and came up with something totally different in the process when they made I Zimba.
Listen to their live anthology "The Name of This Band is the Talking Heads," it goes through their first radio appearance right through the "Remain In Light" tour and the evolution of their live sound is absolutely remarkable.
The Stevie Nicks song Nick is referencing is Edge of 17 and the guitar part was stolen/lifted/borrowed from Bring On The Night by The Police as played by the great Andy Summers.
Colin's board rates Pegasus Llama. You guys should be rating in Cheese Balls. It's food and episode relevant. RJ's board is what Neil Peart would have used if he played guitar.
I know it's old-school, but I love John Fogerty's rhythm playing in Creedence Clearwater Revival and later. He is so in the pocket and sometimes the rhythm is so good that for the 2nd guitar solo he just plays a rhythm part (Down On the Corner).
True. And the sister from Heart if we're talking rock. But, 311's second album all the way through. Rock/reggae rhythm doesn't get better than that to get your head bobbin.
Pedal rating system (uncool to cool) Higher the number the more uncool you are 1. Knob rating - is proportional to the average knobs per pedal - High number means you’re a knob (uncool) 2. Snob rating - Is proportional to the average cost per pedal - High is uncool - original Klon would rate a 10 (uncool) 3. Boring rating - unique sounding pedals are required to achieve a low rating or a unique pedal combination or weird signal chain structure eg Miku has low rating, as does stacking 6 flangers etc 4. Clone Rating - Use of original pedals scores high, use of clones or cheap pedals that sound close are much cooler. If they are plastic that’s insanely cool. PS If you paid someone to build your board you need to take a good hard look a yourself, that money could have made hundreds of buskers happy especially as you didn’t give me your old board. Uncool as Brett Boils
A really good example of rhythm and lead guitarists are Nick and Albert from the Strokes, they alternate roles a lot, and show good examples of polyphonics where one plays higher notes and lower notes that compliment
Lab Series amps are very kewl! It was integral to Ty Tabor’s tone for several King’s X albums. He now lives in KC. There should be an episode with Ty! A pedal collab would be awesome too!
The Phase 95 is a great pedal. It's on my board. Ihad a Phase 45 back in the 70's and 80's. It was great and was the main reason I bought the 95. Nice to see 2 of my pedals on Pete's board. I feel better about myself now.
Really glad to see the HM-2 in this episode! To get the true Entombed/Dismember etc. Swedish death metal sound you need to put the HM-2 in front of an already distorted signal, like a natural high-gain amp channel or another distortion pedal. It takes it from chunky chug to absolute chainsaw.
This comment is from the pedal winners MOM...Joryn has a caustic wit and adds humor to any situation! Besides being a top tier musician he adds an entertainment factor to each encounter! He is a genuinely good human being!
I discovered, after much experimenting ,that 2 mid size boards, - not crowded or cluttered,- are better in every way from one, packed, big board.Easier to modify, to fix, to transport/carry, and to hit the switches.I actually returned to an earlier arrangement after going to a single board. You're just asking for problems cramming everything on one, including inviting damage or loss. Also found that it's preferable to keep foot controllers, - Wah, volume, expression, - separate and on the floor. Pedals I wanted to love?

Seeing this on replay. I love the guitar sound in general. I'm presuming it's the amp. We "need" to have a complete episode on the Sovtek amps!!! Just sayin'
Loved the carmel coated irony/sarcastic banter and the sweet jams. Especially that last one. Thanks for your pedals, talents, dry wit and entertainment during these times. Rock on!!! You guys are the dry aged prime rib rating on the steak scale. KMac
23:09 I have that many pedal on my board as well. But I customized my board and many of the OD pedals I use I stack with another pedals and each is used with a different guitar.
Back in the earliest 80s, when i was but a yute, i read a biography about Jimi Hendrix. In it was an account of an episode where Jimi's 'man bits' were being cast in plaster for some purpose i cannot recall. But, i do specifically remember that they referred to his... parts... as his "rig." So, whenever anyone now says they wanna 'get a look at some dude's "rig,"' i kinda giggle a bit, on the inside. *"He does something cool with his rig."* - That's what _she_ said / Addison
@@leoquesto9183 "Plaster Caster"... Amazing. Ya know, using the word 'rig' from time to time, may be a good filter of sorts, to disclose just what kind of company one's in. Of course context is everything, but yeah... Musician, oil company employee, junkies, latex-junk-moulder(s)... They're all out there! 😂
East Bay Ray from Dead Kennedys used a Heavy Metal pedal (and an old tape echo). I jammed with him in 1986 when he was trying to start another band when DKs were falling apart the first time. I though it was pretty fun that the key to one of the biggest punk rock bands guitar player used a Heavy Metal pedal. Must have not been on all their albums though because the pedal came out in 1983 and a lot of their best albums were behind them. It sounded just like his playing on the DK albums in my living room live though.
Best Rhythm Guitarist: Pete Townshend comes to mind because his rhythm playing is exceptional and he doesnt do much lead at all. Whereas, Hendrix, John Mayer, Jimmy Page, etc are fantastic rhythm players but they are also known for their lead playing.
I normally hate these kinds of things but I not only loved this one you used some of my own favorites on your own board, namely the HM2 which I use in a rock and roll setting (set with all the knobs up of course). Anyway, I appreciate just the positive tone of these videos and the company as a brand, my JHS pedal collection is growing.
I have the phase 95 and giga delay. These are EXCELLENT pedals. The 95 is the only way to get a script 45 with 9v jack, LED and true bypass. The script/block button is very noticeable on 45. The gigi delay is the perfect gig delay pedal.
Does cost a bit more, but I got a 45 reissue modded by analogman for 9v, bypass, and led. I still have my 95 though, it's great. But much prefer the stand alone 45 for its size and being able to turn the knob with foot a bit :)
This was another great episode. My favorite rig is Music is Win. Great looking rig with great pedals. Not too big, not too small either. Most importantly not trying to look complicated in a way with big pedals or rigs. Samurai Guitarist and Colin Scott also had nice rigs.
Hadn't noticed Pete played on the first Cornell album. That's probably my singular "desert island disc" for guitar-based music. So many amazing sounds.
Hello again, my JHs peddles growing, 3 , 3 series peddles, plus Pack Rat. I still have a great idea for a peddle I wish was built by You. Plaese ask me I would reply.
I have frequently been the only guitarist in the band, and apparently I’m a control freak about the sound.. who knew? But I guess it’s always made me gravitate toward bands that had a single standout rhythm/lead player. And to that end there are too many to name. As For Rhett’s board, I can feel the hipster mustache sneer coming off of it, but it’s sooo clean and neat, and everything my constantly-changing board is not. I have to tip my hat to it. It puts my OCD in check. And I kinda want it. I’ve always wanted to love phasers. I owned one for many years, and tried to learn how to use it. But I never hit the sweet spot that inspired me to play over my head. That’s important - when you find that tonal pocket that’s inspiring to you, that makes you go back to the rig 3-4 times at night… I’ve recently found that pocket for my base sound, but it does not, alas, include a phaser. But that last jam? Felt awesome.
I need to know why Rhett Shull doesn't have his signature Mythos pedal. Still representing, but if I had a signature pedal it'd be on my board all the time. Right RJ?
The correct answer for the GOAT at rhythm guitarist might just be the inimitable Jamie West-Oram of The Fixx. Those parts are perfect, tone is dialed in, and he’s so deep in the pocket he IS the pocket
@phunkateer68 oh yeah yeah yeah definitely I just mentioned that cuz I just saw an old video of Stevie and waddy doing it live he's been her main guy since the first solo album.
@phunkateer68 you're obviously a fan so you probably have seen this but if not check out Waddys rig run down on premier guitar one of the best ones out there.

So what does ‘AC don’t pull’ mean?
@@PMiller3425 Try it backwards ;) "Don't pull AC" = Don't pull the power out!
See and that right there is why we LOVE YA PETE.
Cool honesty. That's called integrity kids.
I did wonder about that. Also - the Guitars are very Cornell / Thayil. Too rough round the edges to be Pete’s work.
Pete: A supercomputer of tone and wonder
Colin: Gnarliest pedal award goes to you (Ibanez FL9)
RJ: The Arnold Schwarzenegger of boards
Rhett: A tone snob's wet dream
Steve: The mojo is palpable

Yea Tyler that laminate has no sustain. U gotta go solid board floors for the best frequency response. Also I think Colin's whole board is pretty gnarly. But if ur HM-2 doesn't look like that you've made some poor life decisions
Now you can tell Bethany "see how jealous those guys are of my room?"
You should try solid mahogany (with a maple cap).
Nah, go for ebony wood
Great setup my man
I sent old rig pics. I’m just running through a Rockman X100 now. #MarieKondoYourRig

Youre one of the best guitarists on the interwebs dude. Love what you do man.
I want your signature Mythos so bad, what a great pedal package. Your playing is killer, love your videos 🤘

Waddy Wachtel played guitar on Edge Of Seventeen and it's a thing of beauty!
Whenever I watch a JHS video, I press like before I even watch it because I know its gonna rock
Underated chat comment that i saw: "Rhett's rig is like an onion, it has layers and makes me cry" -Ched Leicester
The "happy kid's smile" on Josh face when he's trying to sound metal is my favourite moment here.
After a long week at his dental practice, Rhett likes to bring this ‘small travel version’ of his board to worship band practice.
Rhett is a huge dork. He reminds me of that kid you introduced to a band and the next week he tries to tell you everything about your favorite band but most of the info is nonsense he found on the internet.
@@smelltheglove2038 Im glad im not the only one who gets vibes about Rhett Shull aka Cosmo Kramer of youtube
@@Halliday7895 he has this vibe of newfound pretentiousness. Like someone who has just fancied themselves a wine connoisseur last week or something like that.
@@Halliday7895 I don’t know if that made sense… I’m trying to put it into words. I kinda liked “newfound pretentiousness”.
I love that Boss actually did release a Waza HM-2 just a couple months after this.
I bought it 2 hours after Kennys in Glasgow received one.
It’s my favorite pedal.
Now we need a vid of these 6 guys each rating a JHS pedal.

Colin Scott is the man. He's awesome at explaining the science behind gear in an engaging and truly interesting way. Also dig his goofy humor
Rhett's rig is the guy at the gym who wants to be seen working out and always glances at the mirror when he walks by hahaha! Great stream.
Pete Thorn may be the coolest man on RUclips. And such a kind and encouraging teacher.
The Stevie Nicks song Nick is referencing is Edge of 17 and the guitar part was stolen/lifted/borrowed from Bring On The Night by The Police as played by the great Andy Summers.
Bummed I missed this live! When I saw R.J. Ronquillo on the pedal board I got super excited!
I'm repeating myself - but Nick is an EXCELLENT drummer!
i have the very distinct feeling that Dean Ween would love this... tender situation at 10:29. i can feel the Brown, and i love it. thanks, guys!
The jam on Tyler's pedal was awesome definitely my favorite pedal of the lot you guys showed thanks for the plug lol
'I'm a little jealous' at 25:30, priceless Josh. Great ep. Thanks for the wholesome goodness.
That last jam was one of the best pieces you guys have ever played, and judging by that smile, I think Josh knew it too 1:04:08
"All is fair in tone, and war" Best. Quote. Ever.
Colin's board rates Pegasus Llama. You guys should be rating in Cheese Balls. It's food and episode relevant. RJ's board is what Neil Peart would have used if he played guitar.
"The Sun Smells Too Loud". Love it.

True. And the sister from Heart if we're talking rock. But, 311's second album all the way through. Rock/reggae rhythm doesn't get better than that to get your head bobbin.
Malcolm Young anyone?
Definitely! His arpeggiated chord melodies that combine rhythm and lead playing is really masterful.
Steve Cropper?
Rhett’s board looks like he wants to find some holy grail secret of rock n roll but ends up spending his money on gear instead of drugs 🤣🤣
Eh, gear is a better investment anyway. Hard to resell your used drugs after you decide you prefer something else.
Based comment
Yeah but how much amazing raw material can you come with on gobs of life sustaining drugs……that’s how write all my tunes. A pile of Spice and my rig…
I used to like Rhett's videos, but he annoys the living shit out of me now.
My favorite rhythm guitarist is my all around favorite player: Steve Cropper of Booker T. and the MGs. Grooves for miles.
Josh’s is playing and timing is incredible.
That closing jam was truth. Gave me an emotion.
I agree
nice outro
On a non-guitar pedal related note, Nick's snare is sounding particularly sweet in this video - nice and warm!
Crispy!
Some of the best mic'ed drums on the tube...
Gotta be Colour Box on that bad boi
Love the ending jam. Well done guys! Beautifully done. I’m gonna hit one of these lives and get a box strings darn it!!

Really late to this, but please.... His tone on Gretchen is my favourite guitar sound to this day.
What I love about Ronquillo’s pedalboard is the fact that he has two and still need to put one more pedal on the floor. This is 2N+1!
I pretty much thought the exact same thing! There is never enough room.
Cheers chaps, great show, great jams and a roast of great body and depth, with a hint of citrus and a biscuity finish ... marvelous.
Joke’s on you. Tyler’s studio is just a printed shower curtain.
Rhett's looks like a dentist plays with a bunch of lawyers

Can't afford to watch this anymore.
GREAT PLAYING!

You're just asking for problems cramming everything on one, including inviting damage or loss.

I love that red Collings semi!! Carved solid wood as opposed to the big G's plywood. Tasty!
You have the most amazing feel for just how a pedal should be used! Btw like the live thing !
Waddy Wachtel, Keef’s favorite guy, played on Stevie Nick’s Belladonna. I think the song that you referred to was On The Edge of Seventeen.
Rhett's board's salad wasn't quite right and it would like to speak to the manager.

Nope. Thats waddy Wachtel that played on Stevie nicks albums. Dude is an amazing guitarist and a card carrying member of the wrecking crew.
