Do You Use Too Many Pedals?

- This week's episode feels more like a therapy session than a guitar tutorial, but that's not necessarily bad. Long story short: Josh discovers that you really can get some truly amazing sounds out of a minimalist pedalboard, thanks entirely to friend of the show (and Mythos Pedals founder) Zach Broyles.

I love that Zach from Mythos was there to help Josh go minamalist on his board - and pulls out like 7 different expensive guitars for each jam...
I'm glad you got the joke :)
And way more pedals in total.
@@MythosPedals Brilliant, sir!
@@MythosPedals Zach, you have your guitar strap position all wrong.... go watch the Dean Ween episode of Guitar Moves.... and the answers will be revealed! Seriously.
Because it is all about guitar(s)!
The tube screamer on rhetts display was an incredible touch.
Ha! Took me a second to put that together. Love how he was just staring at it...
I really hope he got it adjusted just the way he likes it
and found the bypass button
Just staring at it, clicking on and off continuously. Gold
one of the best parts of this hilarious episode
Rhett still figuring out why he's not interested in Tube Screamers aside from the "mid hump" he told us on his last video about TS9's. 😅
...and the Josh woke up realizes it was just a bad dream... hugs all his pedals and reassures them he loves them all equally... goes back to sleep.
Hahaha…funny
I effin hope so!!!!
We need him!!!
The ones without the box disagree.
😂😂😂
as an "actual addict" I got to say Josh was VERY CONVINCING. I love the explanations of why.
"power soak"
Please keep making videos like this and I’ll keep buying your pedals and leaving them in the box, because I only pick up the guitar after my kids go to bed and don’t even turn my amp on.
This is not good.
Have the kids adopted and your wife kidnapped.
Crank that amp!
Okay!
Is this what I have to look forward to?!
Strymon iridium plus headphones will change your life
Man, we're on the same boat...
Zach: Josh you need to use fewer pedals
also Zach: *uses a different guitar for every jam*
part of the joke, according to Zach :)
😂
@@ab036 what joke?
I missed his headless guitar 😀
Josh is one of the few people that makes awkward comfortable
I’m sure he could also make comfortable awkward…
Thank you? 😅
@@jhspedals Actually a pretty good name for the next jam while testing a Muff or a Delay or whatever. Connfortably Awkward.
@@jhspedals DID IT AGAIN
@@timwilcox615😂😂😅
This added much needed laughter on a Friday. "Boarder" , "capacitation" --- "does the water need rain" "BF-2 power leech" --- Thank you Josh for injecting high impedance low capacitance humor into our lives!!!
"Rely on the guitar, not the pedal."
Good news: I have minimized the amount of pedals on my board, and I do not own any extra pedals that are not on my board.
Bad news: I have accumulated a warehouse full of different guitars.
So true
I haven't. I have 33 pedals on mine CURRENTLY. 100% honest truth.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I forgot thr best part 90% of them are daisy chained off of a single, quiet wall, wart 🤣🤣🤣 I mean...why not? It's quiet and I only use maybe 3-5 pedals at any 1 time so the 2700 mA should be plenty
My fuzz pedal, for example, uses under 1 mA so there's no way I'm taxing that power supply yet.
@@J.C... haha ok buddy
As a therapist myself, and the owner of a huge pedal board too, I so enjoyed this! So many, so little time! Keep em coming! Josh has PPSD : Post Pedal Stress Disorder! 😆
It feels like I'm watching a live-action adaptation of the Telecaster Guitar Forum. (Love it)
coming from a bass background and being used to the island of civility and tranquility that is talkbass, guitar forums are hilarious to me. you guys are ogres lmao
This comment deserves to be pinned. Just outstanding!!
Seeing Rhett using a tube screamer plug-in made me laugh so hard. Fricking inside-jokes left and right here :D
The best thing about JHS pedals is that they really make room for grown men to set up their cameras and put on their little skits. 💗
What’s that supposed to mean? Jw
I misread that as "skirts" 💀
@@duxoakende I did too Lmao
The best part is Rhett looking at a tube screamer plugin after talking to Josh.
In the theme of "Monday Morning Talks" Josh proposed, I would love an episode that just goes over Josh's inventory system of his pedal collection pedals.
That was art. Ego tripping on Creed. Another amazing episode from everyone involved.
Losers: "i use too many pedals"
Winners: "i need a bigger pedalboard"
😅
4'x8' Pedal board build when??
@@un7ucky 40x80 you mean
Put handle as the edge of your carpet as if it was one giant board.
@@TheBetapimp handles screwed into the floor at each end. It should count
This is insanely funny. Oh, and whomever is doing the mixes for the jams deserves a shout for the stereo placement of the drums. Love the spacing of the toms. Jus' sayin'.
Funniest episode yet. When y'all alluded to something very goofy I couldn't have hoped for "well I use these Flangers like a leech" 🤣🤣🤣 Truest anti-pedal-demo ever
I was in tears from this joke. You starve a transistor of current, it does clip more. Most people just use a half dead 9V, not Josh, it's 3x BF-2 pedals in a ghost loop leeching the power supply.
Josh, you put up such fun show all the time! Thanks all the way from São Paulo, Brasil.
The whole call to Rhett segment was top notch content.
Josh must be sick to even suggest this or maybe be found the perfect do all pedal. He will end up moving to a cave on the tallest mountain to meditate, and plot how to get all his pedals back
Absolutely brilliant!! Excellent seeing Zach from Mythos as well!!!
This was so great! Awesome jams and the storytelling was great. Smiled the whole time.
JHS needs to do a limited edition pedal that draws the power of three Boss flangers but the signal completely bypasses that power draw.
Hahahaha that’s awesome!
What a hilarious video!! The phone call with Rhett was too much! “Ok bye love you.” “Love you too man” perfect touch to finish that call!
Some of his jokes R like what U C in 'audiophile' $cams like $elling door knobs as 'speaker cable risers' & various 'equipment isolators' like spikes & goo & stuff. It's extra funny as some1 who worked with fancy gear at 'high end' shops & borrowing things, the Behringer EP2500 is a GR8 amp better than most, as R a lot of Sony receivers, & the best speaker cable is the copper 1 side, aluminum (or something gray) on the other = evens out the sound (sounds silly but true!) Best sounding guitar cable was super thin stuff, with tiny center braided copper wire & foil shield (no braid on outter return 'ground'). Bit noisy when moving it (with high gain) but more transparent sound. Pete thorn has a many cables demo where he proves the differences between what he selected.
i'm obsessed with the fact that once you got rid of the grunge, you started playing post grunge.
I don't know if what you said is true, but it made me laugh :)
Seriously great tones in this one! Plus, I haven’t laughed that much in a while, thanks fellas!
Absolutely hysterical. You guys did a great job on this video. Superb entertainment for guitar lovers.
Thanks for all you do.
Board-hoarding is a serious issue, a plague if you will, amongst society in general and I'm glad that it is finally being addressed in an adult and professional manner.
One of the best episodes yet!
As always, excellent and hilarious video, and an awesome display of a bunch of really cool pedal combinations. Particularly happy with Zach's record time, absolutely one of my all time favorite albums. I've included it on every shopping list I've ever written with my wife as a stupid joke to annoy her. I'm a huge recent fan of Dipped in Tone, really love the community all you guys are building on here. Keep it up and have some fun making music today!
That was the best episode y'all have done to date. I loved that. Lots of little details that were hilarious.
I'm glad to see how a pedal maker shows people how they don't need to have or use a great amount of pedals to just be happy. I remember some hate feed you reviewed in one of the last videos and can't believe how wrong they got it. Please keep sharing that humor and knowledge with us
The only thing it makes sense getting as pedals is fuzz & analog chorus type things. There R good cheap 'analog-sounding' delays like from Mooer, but haven't found N E GR8 'modeler' chorus 4 sane price. The $trymon 4 instance doesn't sound than a $30 used analog chorus, but 10X the price. Would B nice if JHS got into making SOFTWARE 2 emulate things like the Danelectro Cool Cat & 'Memory Man', etc.
Funny also how a donner ' analog chorus beats the much more expensive 'modeler' ~> ruclips.net/video/BjqhHeJD28U/видео.html
The universal and eternal answer to the optimal number of pedals one should have is: Yes.
I only have 3 delay pedals, two of which are Strymons. I definitely need more delay. I mean how on earth am I supposed to play with only 3? My sound still has gaps in it, no matter how much I mess with repeats and timing so that the repeats hit at different times. I'm not even joking. Plus I need some X Series delay in my life, because no bass role off.
Great episode, with even more deadpan humor than usual! And that octave-up fuzz was delicious.
I might be yelling into the void here, but I've got to say, this is one of my favorite videos that you guys have released. Great featured pedals, I loved the humor throughout, and the jams were absolutely killer. I hope to see more like this from you guys!
I used to be one of those people that constantly needed a fuzz or distortion with reverse reverb or delay going and maybe some vibrato for killer shoegaze tones. The problem was though, that I never grew in terms of playing, I was playing to the gigantic walls of fuzz rather than actually learning chords or notes. Johnny Marr of The Smiths inspired me to play cleaner and use light gain/or a compressor, chorus if I want modulation, and a bit of reverb or delay. Since then, while I’m admittedly mediocre at best, I’ve grown in terms of actually learning how to play guitar and not just strumming randomly to a swirling wall of noise.
💪🏼
Nothing beats a wall of noise in my book.
But why would you need to learn to play better when walls of sound are perfect?
Love seeing 20 Gs worth of pedals in a pile on the floor. Now that’s drip!
If you count just the klons, yeah 20Gs
"20 Gs"
As I understand it, Klon Centaurs are going for a minimum of $5k. There were seven of them on the board near the end (along with two KTRs), That's a bit more cash than "20 Gs".
@@jankafka7330 i was talking about the first board at the moment
Absolutely one of the top 3 episodes ever. Really soul touching
This may be the greatest episode ever. Thank you!
I like this episode. Genius and silly. Do more please.
Susmaryosep is a Filipino slang for “jesus mary and joseph!” An expression of awe. More power JHS. from 🇵🇭
I was enjoying the bit enough that I kept forgetting that this episode is still a Mythos feature, and was like “is Zach going to do a shameless plug for EVERY jam?”
The commitment to the bit by all the actors involved was epic, even down to the production. Mr. Mythos is a class act. Rhett Shull needs to keep tryin wit dat slide. The finest gear show on the youtubes.
The jams in this video were amazing. Great frickin job, dudes!
Funnest show on the internets!! GREAT jams too!
Nice playing Zach!
Hey thanks!
Too funny! You guys rock! Love the cross colabs...this one is right up there with the Klon Music is Win episode!
Total badass episode!!! 👏👏👏
i had a grin on my face throughout this entire episode haha too funny
oh yeah the jams were nice too
Thanks!
Those were epic jams.
That was hilarious - well done! Loved the joyful playing, too.
The corner call to Rhett was too good. More episodes like this, please!
Nothing short of brilliant.
"Does a water need the rain?" had me doubled up laughing
Well.. it does 😎
Thank you all for this one...
Needed the laughs .... f*ing brilliant!
The first shot of the pedalboard had me rolling! Then the "ZZ Top" slide style jam ending! The way y'all kept going with straight faces! The slide! The detuning! I was dying! 🤣
Maybe the truest tone is the friends we made along the way...
Pinch Me I'm Harmonic 😀
Never laughed so hard at one of your episodes. Also loved seeing how hard it was sometimes for these guys to keep a straight face. Thanks guys!
You guys, super heroes... And great to see you’re rocking the Doosy trem Josh... 🤘🤘🤘. Luv ya, DP
The irony of using less pedals, but playing through a two rock and switching to all those guitars got me 😂😂😅
I got my "FX 69 Grunge--YEAH!" and "Sick Burn!" stingers so that makes this episode a win right there. Add to that Josh's They Tried to Make Me Go to Pedal Rehab l Said No No No desperate denial and we've got one for the ages.
Grunge stinger is my favorite. There was an episode of TNB where they used it like 10 times and my face hurt from smiling
That Truest Tone is Letting Go jam was SO about to be an amazing 90's sunny day style amazement and then it just derails... love it!
Loved this episode! Should be more about this stuff and examples
Very entertaining, I am surprised how well you both played your roles in this little skit, Zach Broyles was excellent. Fun to watch. Your videos are normally good, this stepped it up.
What skit?
This was all serious.
I use 12 Tube Screamers to boost into my 6 Klon Centaurs.
Too few Klons, the Todd Howard I knew would now have all of the Klons
I loved the 4-piece jam. Thanks for this.
I know you build excellent pedals. But your videos get better and better.
I laughed A LOT during this one.
Great vid. Keep tem coming...😊
But for most of joshs jams, its just a drive of sorts, then maybe a delay. He always does minimalist jams and theyre amazing
🙏🏼
The JHS show is so wholesome. Even when the gear lust gets pretty thick, or the collecting bug gets a bit over the top, it just stays wholesome. That's kind of Josh's magic.
Having all your pedals taken away only for Zach to play a different guitar in every jam, wow, that’s rough. Stay strong.
Love this episode. We can relate! I wanted so many pedals that I just gave up and went for multifx. So I guess you coild say I am down to one pedal, finally.
Ok this is gold. I think there needs to be regular skits with Zach and Rhett. So funny, Kinda true, I would definitely watch Tone adventures with Josh, Zach, and Rhett.
More pedals = more choice = happy bunny. Don’t get rid of ANYTHING is my advice 👍
I feel like we can’t gloss over the fact that the minimalist pedalboard is plugged into a maximalist amp…
This reminds me of the episode where he was showing Amazon pedals in between the Collings and the Two Rock. One of these things is not like the other.
and that he is using a new guitar every time! haha
That room you guys play in is such the fortress of awesomeness.
This just keeps getting better and better.
I had a pedal that didn't change the sound or tone of my guitar at all when I would switch it on.. my tech told me it was because of incapacitance.
Did you keep the boxes?
That was a great production y'all
This is just what I needed this morning!
I refused to use pedals other than a tuner until 2017 when I decided to try my first Klone…hundreds of pedals and 4 live pedal boards currently in use later…this episodes makes me long for that guy lost somewhere inside me who only used to plug straight in…
I too spent many years like this. Heck. I had the tuner next to the amp. I thought anything between my guitar and amp was bad.
There's a balance, I guess. Lol
@@Ottophil in my college band we had one song that I needed a wah for. I used to plug it in and out after each use. Like a cave man!
Likewise. it wasn’t until I started playing bass for a band where all the guitar players had crazy boards that I decided I’d dust off my fuzz face. Well, might as well get a tuner. Okay, I should get a wah. One year later I have a bookshelf full of pedals
For me, the best pedalboard is fuzz, tremolo, and delay. Keeping it simple.
OK Marie Kondo
Honestly I needed this today.
Thanks man. Needed the laughs!
I'm already laughing... 😂
I love how Zach is using a different guitar for almost every jam… 🤣
:D
Different kind of addiction
@@MythosPedals If Rhett is in the jam, he’s busting out a different amp for each one! 🤣
Laughed so hard several times😂 great vid guys
Nice jam, props to the rhythm section!
Tuner, envelope filter, phaser, analog delay, and boost. That’s it. What else would I need! Oh…. And I only have one amp. Orange OR15. Keep it simple. ☝️😄
Well, duh….FUZZzzz.
(And a wah.)
@@marcsullivan7987 - The envelope filter is my wah, sort of, and I can’t stand fuzz. I dunno.
@@Burnt_Gerbil try a Fuzz face type Fuzz (Fulltone 69 or 70, for example)
Then turn the fuzz on and roll your guitar volume down (works better on single coil/strat, etc) and it will do the “clean up” to a great almost clean sound (think “Little Wing”)…and as you turn your guitar volume up…more and more until it’s full fuzzz, and all points in between. Changed my life.
Pedal HAS to be FIRST in the chain
@@marcsullivan7987 - I’m not a Strat player, but I did have a Dunlop mini fuzz face. The little red one. Not a fan of the Velcro fuzz thing. Perhaps I should try a big muff fuzz.
I never seen Josh so 😢, don't do it! More pedal means infinite tone's happiness that is good for the soul. Being a Rebel is good! 🎸🤣
Man I love you both! Well done gents.
Oh man, the Creed 'Higher' breakdown was epic!
There's no such thing as too many pedals!
you're a great candidate for Zach's Pedal Cleanse Method.
something to consider
To each his own, but god, are those 'I only plug straight into an amp and so should everyone else or you're not a real guitarist' purists tiresome.
Drum sound on "Surf's Up, Jeff", uuughh, Chef's kiss! So good! Humor is on point too haha
Dude. The Roadtrip To Freedom!! That’s unbelievably good
Zach really gets some great tones there. Love the Surf jam!
I love this show- this is the best one- I think I say that like every 3-4 Videos- You guys are epic- this is epic- you do epic stuff- You inspire people BIG TIME
I enjoyed this video! Thank you!
best episode in ages. love ya'll
I loved this episode!!!
