No Idea what i was doing, created a standing wave that sounded great one drunken night. Also, patched in a stray guitar pickup and stuck it into a upright piano. Blew out something important in the bass amp we were using, and neighbors called 911.

If you have a fuzz face or a big muff, or any fuzz with a lot of low end, try running it into a wah and then have a distortion pedal after it. It gives you a really aggressive sweep that kind of sounds like a synthesizer. One of my absolute favorite lead tones.
I know this is an old show, but I keep on coming back, because it's the best "how to" video to me. My pedal order: Compressor >Octave >Fuzz >Volume >Rat >Bluesbreaker >Modeling >Delay >Reverb >Looper My Recordtime tipp: Everything by Tommy Guerrero. Please invite him. He would fit like a glove! Skateboards and Pedalboards
Your willingness to include your contemporaries/competitors in a positive fashion is very admirable. Business can be dog-eat-dog, but there are so many possibilities and plenty of coin to go around. Thanks for the great presentations and great products.
As a guy that is constantly chasing different tones (probably like most people here) I love the fact that you give everybody genuine insight into a pedal producer's understanding, thought processes and preferences on tone and sounds using various brands and never making me feel like this is an infomertial for your brand. For an Aussie (we hate self serving BS), it actually makes you and your products more credible!
Every time I watch this channel I feel like a kid in awe. Bear in mind that I´ve been middle aged for quite some time. Thank you, Josh and sorry for the corny praise, but I promise it is true. Would love to hear your thoughts on looper pedals.
This video has given me so many new ideas! I have to say that this channel and Josh in particular has re-invigorated my passion for guitar! I put my guitar down about 13 years ago and could not find the motivation to pick it back up until I started watching your vlogs and digging more into the world of pedals! Since then I found my love of guitar again and have been loving every minute of it! Thanks you for your work on here and for the pedals you make! I love running your panther cub into my TC Electronics Flashback2 using the quarter note/dotted eighth technique that you talked about! Love the ambient sounds that come from those two! Keep up the awesome work!
@Mortachai Epstein Yeah! I think around that time, just about all I was listening to was Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, John Mark McMillan, and if I'm being honest, Ryan Adams.
@@aaronmcnair1829 Very true, but sometimes you can find gold in a cheap pedal. Joyo’s American Tone is an example. At like $35 new (bought mine used for $12) it hasn’t left my board and is basically an extra EQ for my amp. It’s also technically an amp in a box DI which I don’t really use it for but it’s there. The sound is gold I tell ya! For $35 new!
Radiohead - In Rainbows! One of my favorite stacks is a Fuzz Face style Fuzz into a Rat distortion on Low Gain. I discovered this by accident on a gig when I forgot to turn off my Rat before hitting my FF for a fuzz section. It was amazing! Infinite fuzzy, violin-like sustain.
Only by the Night from KoL (2008). It starts BIG with Closer and Crawl and just gives you the feels when you arrive to Cold Desert. Favorite stacking is exactly the Morning Glory into the Klon sound. What a beautiful overdriven sound.
14:57 I was just thinking about how I am going to turn up my amp really loud and play some cool rock ballad solos/riffs the day i get to school. Our music class room locates pretty close to our school cafe, so it is easy for people to hear if anyone's playing music. Right when I was thinking about this, you said "but that's why we play guitar - to be heard!" and man it struck me like a bolt of lightning. Especially for us more introverted guys and girls who might not be so good at socializing, it seems like the guitar had always been another more powerful voice for us to let us to be heard, to let others know that I exist, and through that to let me know I exist. I guess that's why I would care to spend hours upon hours perfecting my skills, because it is simply a better way of speaking, rather than talking. Maybe your meaning of "being heard" was simply, literally "being heard" like a sound, but oh well it still made me realized why I have always valued the time of being able to play loud music with my band or by myself
Josh had to dig at running the Klon as a Clean Boost! Well Josh, all I can say is - Analogman Astrotone > Looking Glass at Unity with no gain (just to use the impedance knob) > RYRA Klone (Gain at 30% / Volume at 30% / Treble all the way because I rock solid nickel flatwounds) > Chase Tone Secret Preamp. And why does all this work? If you like to use 12AU7's in lieu of 12AX7's, your tube preamp won't heavy clip & you'll have more current pwr for creamy goodness! Now your pedalboard can really be the solid state preamp is was meant to be!
You may wish to Rebias - For my Custom SE - I found 1st Cathode Resistor at 10k / 2nd Cathode Resistor at 4.7k to be the best - Around 300V before the 150k Plate resistor
I read an article that said he only puts out a solo album when he needs money for drugs and that is why they are so out there. I wish I could remember where I read that...
Been playing for almost 30 years and am just now getting heavy into pedals. Of course I've used an overdrive & wah occasionally but I consciously avoided too much effects, never even had a small pedal board. The past year of quarantine has given me the time to really research and sit with a bunch of pedals and ex poo experiment. Josh especially has been a huge help, this channel, his interviews, etc have been invaluable. Going through the channels archives and keep seeing jems like this. Thanks to everyone at the JHS channel...
Great video. So many awesome ideas to try! Ididn't realize you were Nashville based. Awesome! So am I 😁 ...makes sense because I've seen you mention a lot of Nashville artists like Matthew Perryman Jones during "record time" 💫
I really like making a fuzz and phaser sandwich: stacking two fuzzes with a phaser in between. I have the Love Pedals 200lbs fuzz, varying the gain, into the Keeley Dark Side's Phaser into the Dark Side's fuzz with mids switch at full and gain low. The Love Pedal brightens the Dark Side and the Dark Side's fuzz calms the Phaser. It gives a really great, full ambient tone with a Memory Man Delay.
I really love a compressor into a transparent-ish overdrive! You can get the light breakup thing going on, but with the long sustain of something heavier, sorta like a compressing amp! It just feels great to play!
Is it weird that I had an emotional reaction to the trem into reverb... It was almost as if it was squeezing my heart everytime it pulsed... Thank you for sharing this, I gonna try this immediately and play with it
Hey, this is the third video of yours that I watch and I thought I just had to drop you a line to thank you for the immense amount of food for thought you manage to squash in them. It's not just that you make me think about effects in a different way, it's also great to see your passion and your knowledge displayed in such a simple way, without the lecturing tone that I find in other videos. Thank you again. I'll keep an eye on the other videos as soon as I manage... and why not: investigate into your pedals :)
This is quickly becoming my new favorite RUclips channel. I wish I watched all of these episodes before I started collecting pedals! I would of made so many better decisions! But hey you live and you learn and that’s part of the fun of it all. Thanks for the great work! Really enjoying it!
Syncing analog delay quarter-notes + Digital delay triplets is also fun. It's very similar to the quarter+dotted 8ths but you can get a subtle variation of a "galloping delay" rhythmic effect. The humble Boss GE-7 is probably the most underrated (or maybe not? It's kinda ubiquitous) and useful stacking tool. Around a decade old? Arcade Fire "The Suburbs" came out in 2010. Close enough, and any Arcade Fire from Funeral to Suburbs is hard to beat.
This is the best 'guitar effects' channel on You Tube by far! The information is so well presented, easy to understand and has been really helpful to me.
I totally agree about the Klon needing to be turned up! What makes it so delicious is the way it effectively adds a parallel signal of drive and your clean signal coming through. So that's what gives it that super natural and 'transparent' tone that sounds fantastic. Using it as a clean boost is wasting its potential and what makes it great.
+A fella who has enough kid about him that "Dude, try this out!!" is still a big deal. I'm 65 and just recently found the sound in my head in a pawn shop. Not vintage stuff, but modern off the shelf versions of cool stuff. When I'm feeling it, a big restrained fuzzy 60"s EC Spoonful is heaven. I don't have a Marshall stack played full on in a sweaty ballroom filled with sweaty admiring 'smoke filled fans to get That sound from That album. Try a Dyna Comp into a Boss FZ5 . I'm there. Simplicity works just fine. Doesn't hurt to crank up a Big Muff when yer headed for the Spirit in the Sky. Enjoy. We are all children searching. That's what makes us cooler than the poor lost souls who plinka plinka banjos and believe they are musicians. . . well, that could apply to drummers too but who's counting.
One of my favorite noises for ambient alien backdrops is a p-bass w tone rolled halfway back going into an octave up into a mid-heavy bass fuzz (fuzz-face style, low gain) into a slowish phaser into a tremolo on fast chop and med depth. On guitar, I enjoy any guitar with 2x P90/jazz pups set in middle position into an envelope filter into an octave up + down into a slap-back with 2 repeats. For fun, toss in a bit crusher on med-high sample rate pretty much anywhere in the chain.
Wah into a square-wave tremolo...into a dirty amp. Sweep the wah slowly as you hit a chord. I first discovered this using a Danelectro Tuna Melt and Vox Wah - and it rocked my tiny little world.
Arnis Venta around the time that album came out I found tone nirvana by stacking a Marshall 8080 Valvestate combo I had tweaked into a 100W CBS Fender Silver face Bassman 100 and 4x12 cab. The Marshall has a line out and I run both channels of the bass man in parallel. While I was playing bass at the time I scored the Marshall, I’ve since moved to guitar and that has become the A rig. The only pedals I use is a modded grey Dod overdrive into a JD 2 transistor Wah. Then into the amp. Just use the channel selector to go from a classic over drive to a more modern high gain. Sounds absolutely huge through two quads and isn’t overly loud, but can keep up with anything else if I need to.
Qotsa - Era Vulgaris, 2007 I believe, great underrated (maybe?) queens album. Turning on the screw, make it witchu, and of course 3s and 7s. So many gems. Plus that album art... incredible
I love that Era sound, people always point to SFTD for the qotsa sound but you can tell Josh really scoped something a little more unique taking the band further out from the sound of traditional rock at that point, the guitar tone and playing in that record is absolutely filthy I love it
Ben Roebuck that’s exactly what I’m sayin. Everyone’s like “ohh sftd and Dave grohl omg!!!” Don’t get me wrong I love the guy haha but he definitely adds to why that album is overrated.
I love your laid-back genuine attitude. I know I’m late to the party a bit but I ended up removing my Flint from the board as I had to let one standard size Strymon go. I typically don’t run chorus and vibrato (actually never) at the same time. Since I have the Mobius, which uses the exact same algorithm as Flint I let it go. I stack every Strymon delay except the Brig and I get at least two other places to add spring. I can run parallel reverbs and delays panned to really give me depth and wash without a muddy mess. Keep sharing your love of sound manipulation with the passion you do. There are many of us out here that don’t follow rules, trends, or marketing hyperbole. Thank you sir!!!
I send my Tele's signal into a chorus, send one into a Muff Pi, and the other directly into the clean side of my Vox AC30 clean channel. The Muff runs into the high channel. Play with the settings as you like, but I like that clean chime of the tele just in the background of the heavy fuzz. The built in reverb on the amp to open the sound up a bit too.
High Voltage by AC/DC. I've been listening to it since I was a kid... when it originally came out. I still love it & it never gets old for me. Go For It LIVE by Fu Manchu. This album just has such great energy & the guitars just sound fantastic. Few live albums just have this sort of magic for me. Fuzz stacked on fuzz at its best, Super cool.
One of my favorite practice combinations in recent months has been running my SD rails loaded Strat or Studio LP to a AU$50 Klon kit clone into a Behringer UC200 ultra chorus and then taking the two outputs to my Blues Junior IV and my JVM210 in OD1 Green mode. Yes, there is a little battle to balance volume, but it works and fills the room with slow chorused cool driven strat tones and two variations of reverb....
my latest combination: light drive morning glory into a Hudson broadcast dual (gain at 2 o'clock) into the low input of a sovtek mig100. best drive tone i've ever had.
2009 was a pretty good year for albums. A few come to mind: Big Whiskey & The GrooGrux King (Dave Matthews Band) The Sky Is Falling (Days Before Tomorrow) The Whirlwind (Transatlantic) Burning The Days (Vertical Horizon) and of course Joy by Phish.
My favorite stacking combo is a Sparkle Drive going into Klon type pedal, in my case a modified Soul Food. I don't have the SF set at a high gain. In this set up, I don't think of it as a boost, so much as a sonic shaper or sculptor. I love love love this combo.
An album about 10 years old: In Rainbows by Radiohead. I listen to it all the way through yesterday and love as much as I did when I downloaded it the day it came out.
This video is my bible. I didn’t know all of this - rearranged my pedalboard. By five times - now it starts to make sense in a way. Keep rearranging but now I have a path and what to look for - even if I don’t look for the same sounds as in the video. This video is great!
I was at Costco today I didn't see the Kirkland Signature pedal :( If 2003 is still within "a decade ago", then its Chutes Too Narrow by the Shins I leave my JHS-modded Soul Food on all the time (the top switch setting) for a nice amount of crunch (except when crunch is not necessary) and I use an EQD Westwood to kick it up a notch, and for lead parts I stack my EHX Russian Big Muff reissue (with the sustain and tone past noon) on top of the Soul Food to kick it up a few more notches.
So, I just got a Morning Glory and it soon became a big favorite and I placed it… at the end? No really, it's wonderful at the end of my chain. It's basically my "always on" overdrive (into a Victory VC35) for a great base overdrive sound - because it means whatever pedal I run I get them with the color of the Morning Glory! Crazy? Maybe, but it sounds wonderful!
2009? baroness - blue record mastodon - crack the skye converge - axe to fall every time i die - new junk aesthetic re: pete yorn-- the record he made with Scarlet Johansson is (maybe surprisingly) fantastic as well.
sprintingforsigns also from around the same some Hex Or Printing In The Infernal Method, and don’t forget Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light Vol 1 & 2 I stack a Fulldrive 2 into a Soul Food, I think they’re both mid boosted, maybe that’s an issue
Love your commentary and geek wisdom, indeed the Klon tuned up to a higher gain setting is blissful. I used to swear by my stacked Hermida Zendrive and Marshall BB, however the Wampler Klon is the kat's meow in front of any AC30, Blackface, or JTM. Kudos to JHS!
I love how even though you're obviously your own company, and started with your own pedal, you list other great pedals that will do the same job in that place on the board. I dont think I've seen other creators with a brand they own, do really the same thing.
Artist: Russian Circles Album: Station Year: 2008 Now that that’s out of the way, someone talk to me about how you would stack the JHS Sweet Tea in a rig. Thank you for reading my comment.
Thanks! I actually have the Meris Polymoon right after this one and then into a Boss DD3 and finally an EQD Afterneath. I have no idea what I am doing. It sounds awesome.
I was trying to mimic that sound from the chorus of Radiohead’s Palo Alto, and got pretty close with a Big Muff Pi into a short delay. The delay makes the fuzz sound HUGE.
I really love the way you do those video, you have a politeness we don't see often in these days. As I love your "Morning Glory" pedal, one of the more versatile, useful and good sounding pedal I ever had. Keep going! Oh, my favorite combo is: somedecentcompressor, I OD "Bluesbreaker style" self made, always on if not clean with comp, Morning Glory, TS9, CE4 Chorus, Analog Delay (self made), DD3 Delay. Stick my strat into and I feel I can play whatever. Ehm... whatever I can play, I mean.
1- Ibanez TubeScreamer or JHS Morning Glory, 2- Boss SD-1, 3- Tym Big Mudd (Modern), 4- MXR Carbon Copy, 5- Walrus Audio Slo, 6- Ibanez BC9 (Stereo outs), 7- *Stereo Delay (stereo in/stereo out), 8- Stereo amps set apart on either side of stage. *Stereo Delay = Boss DD5 or DD7/Line 6 DM4/EH Memory Man w/ Hazarabi.
I stinking love this channel Room on Fire record by The Strokes is one of my all time favs. I love that there’s 5 guys playing 5 different parts that sound amazing together. Fav stacking combo: Boss DD-5 with eighth delay into a JHS panther cub with a hard dotted eighth and about 40% mod. I do a lot of swells and spacey tonal stuff.
Lately I have been playing around with the Moonshine V2 with clean around 9 o'clock. Then I run a Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret into it for the heavier parts.
Glad to see Pete Yorn on record time! Nice to see others who know of him..The earliest 3 records, Music for the Morning after, Day I forgot, and Nightcrawler are my absolute favs. The album he did with Scarlett Johansson was good too!
Radiohead's "In Rainbows" and I can still crank that album and rock out to it like I'm a senior in high school driving to zero period jazz band, smoking weed as the sun comes up!
I speak for many of us: your inclusiveness of other pedal companies in these videos makes the whole pedal community fun to be a part of...and it also adds an ton of credibility to your presentations.

He also gives props to other makers, which is admirable.
Even recommends alternatives from different manufacturers
Reverse physcology.
This is the difference between a soulless corporation and a small business owner who got into it because he's a total gear nerd.
The great majority of Boss pedals are exactly the same form factor. So the best way to stack is to just use Boss pedals starting on a flat surface.
This is so unbelievably funny
you could probably get away with tc electronic pedals, though you have to stack em sideways
I hear Boss pedals are the easiest to stack.....

i do that! distortion or muff into the wah and something After and when you open... oh boy, a frying hell rushes out!
Very fun combo, I especially like it on a Morley wah, crazy shredage
I run a classic crybaby out of my jhs Fuzz and it sounds so sick
I use the fuzz on my Keely dark side with my wah in front so I should run it after the darkside ? If so does my overdrive go after the wah?
I know this is an old show, but I keep on coming back, because it's the best "how to" video to me. My pedal order: Compressor >Octave >Fuzz >Volume >Rat >Bluesbreaker >Modeling >Delay >Reverb >Looper

Your willingness to include your contemporaries/competitors in a positive fashion is very admirable. Business can be dog-eat-dog, but there are so many possibilities and plenty of coin to go around. Thanks for the great presentations and great products.
A new Vlog T shirt is needed.
‘Eclipsed By Fuzz.’
second
Loud is more good is so old! It's all about eclipsed by fuzz now!
Also it sounds like a Fuzzrocious or death by audio pedal hahah
new hashtag #eclipsedbyfuzz
not to be confused with "fuzzed by eclipse"!
As a guy that is constantly chasing different tones (probably like most people here) I love the fact that you give everybody genuine insight into a pedal producer's understanding, thought processes and preferences on tone and sounds using various brands and never making me feel like this is an infomertial for your brand. For an Aussie (we hate self serving BS), it actually makes you and your products more credible!
This was so informative. Thank you.
I go back and watch this video over and over again. So great. Thank you.
That t-shirt is amazing! Star Wars and cycling in one place! Excellent.
Every time I watch this channel I feel like a kid in awe. Bear in mind that I´ve been middle aged for quite some time. Thank you, Josh and sorry for the corny praise, but I promise it is true. Would love to hear your thoughts on looper pedals.
Bump for looper pedals!
Bump for loopers! Well thought @Marco Lalama !
Thanks for the love and great idea. We'll put it on the list for potential episodes.
This video has given me so many new ideas! I have to say that this channel and Josh in particular has re-invigorated my passion for guitar! I put my guitar down about 13 years ago and could not find the motivation to pick it back up until I started watching your vlogs and digging more into the world of pedals! Since then I found my love of guitar again and have been loving every minute of it! Thanks you for your work on here and for the pedals you make!
I love running your panther cub into my TC Electronics Flashback2 using the quarter note/dotted eighth technique that you talked about! Love the ambient sounds that come from those two!
Keep up the awesome work!
The first Fleet Foxes full length was 10-ish years ago. It's still one of my favorites to listen to with headphones.
Amazing live too.
@Mortachai Epstein Yeah! I think around that time, just about all I was listening to was Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, John Mark McMillan, and if I'm being honest, Ryan Adams.
I was also thinking Fleet Foxes’ Ragged Wood and Sun Giant EP. Great!
Confucius say: better to have 5 pedals that play well together than 50 that don't. Once I minimized my board, I felt a huge burden lift
Pedals are like guitars, once you try a few cheap ones it's worth it to trade them in for a good one and build in that direction.
@@aaronmcnair1829 Very true, but sometimes you can find gold in a cheap pedal. Joyo’s American Tone is an example. At like $35 new (bought mine used for $12) it hasn’t left my board and is basically an extra EQ for my amp. It’s also technically an amp in a box DI which I don’t really use it for but it’s there. The sound is gold I tell ya! For $35 new!
This is my favorite gear channel lol, not only does he show you and showcase the gear but you also get the interesting vintage history of it.
Radiohead - In Rainbows!
One of my favorite stacks is a Fuzz Face style Fuzz into a Rat distortion on Low Gain. I discovered this by accident on a gig when I forgot to turn off my Rat before hitting my FF for a fuzz section. It was amazing! Infinite fuzzy, violin-like sustain.
Only by the Night from KoL (2008). It starts BIG with Closer and Crawl and just gives you the feels when you arrive to Cold Desert.
Favorite stacking is exactly the Morning Glory into the Klon sound. What a beautiful overdriven sound.
The xx's debut album (2009) is one of my all time favorites. Prime example of "less is more" and makes fantastic use of reverb and silence
14:57 I was just thinking about how I am going to turn up my amp really loud and play some cool rock ballad solos/riffs the day i get to school. Our music class room locates pretty close to our school cafe, so it is easy for people to hear if anyone's playing music. Right when I was thinking about this, you said "but that's why we play guitar - to be heard!" and man it struck me like a bolt of lightning. Especially for us more introverted guys and girls who might not be so good at socializing, it seems like the guitar had always been another more powerful voice for us to let us to be heard, to let others know that I exist, and through that to let me know I exist. I guess that's why I would care to spend hours upon hours perfecting my skills, because it is simply a better way of speaking, rather than talking. Maybe your meaning of "being heard" was simply, literally "being heard" like a sound, but oh well it still made me realized why I have always valued the time of being able to play loud music with my band or by myself
Josh had to dig at running the Klon as a Clean Boost!
Well Josh, all I can say is -
Analogman Astrotone > Looking Glass at Unity with no gain (just to use the impedance knob) > RYRA Klone (Gain at 30% / Volume at 30% / Treble all the way because I rock solid nickel flatwounds) > Chase Tone Secret Preamp.
And why does all this work?
If you like to use 12AU7's in lieu of 12AX7's, your tube preamp won't heavy clip & you'll have more current pwr for creamy goodness!
Now your pedalboard can really be the solid state preamp is was meant to be!

For my Custom SE - I found 1st Cathode Resistor at 10k / 2nd Cathode Resistor at 4.7k to be the best - Around 300V before the 150k Plate resistor
The Empyrean - John Frusciante is getting a tenth anniversary vinyl release this year. That one covers some wicked sonic territory
Its so good that you just want to close your eyes until you finish the album
My fav Frusciante album ever ❤
Johns solo stuff is so under appreciated it’s just tragic.
I read an article that said he only puts out a solo album when he needs money for drugs and that is why they are so out there. I wish I could remember where I read that...
@@MikeBaum yeah back in the early 90s that was true. he's sober now, man.
4:31. Astounding bridge pickup drive tone. Love the mid squawk in that with all the bass and treble still present.
Been playing for almost 30 years and am just now getting heavy into pedals. Of course I've used an overdrive & wah occasionally but I consciously avoided too much effects, never even had a small pedal board.
The past year of quarantine has given me the time to really research and sit with a bunch of pedals and ex poo experiment. Josh especially has been a huge help, this channel, his interviews, etc have been invaluable. Going through the channels archives and keep seeing jems like this. Thanks to everyone at the JHS channel...
"I'm eclipsed by fuzz." 🤣🤣 You made me spit out my soda. 🤣🤣
Great video. So many awesome ideas to try! Ididn't realize you were Nashville based. Awesome! So am I 😁 ...makes sense because I've seen you mention a lot of Nashville artists like Matthew Perryman Jones during "record time" 💫
Uuuh, who’s gonna tell him.
He's not Nashville-based; he is based in Kansas City. I had to tell him, Tom Hill!
im gonna start saying im based instead of i live in
you're absurdly annoying, you just pop your head up in every comments section on earth
I really like making a fuzz and phaser sandwich: stacking two fuzzes with a phaser in between. I have the Love Pedals 200lbs fuzz, varying the gain, into the Keeley Dark Side's Phaser into the Dark Side's fuzz with mids switch at full and gain low. The Love Pedal brightens the Dark Side and the Dark Side's fuzz calms the Phaser. It gives a really great, full ambient tone with a Memory Man Delay.
I really love a compressor into a transparent-ish overdrive! You can get the light breakup thing going on, but with the long sustain of something heavier, sorta like a compressing amp! It just feels great to play!
Route 66 by Visual Sound.
Is it weird that I had an emotional reaction to the trem into reverb... It was almost as if it was squeezing my heart everytime it pulsed... Thank you for sharing this, I gonna try this immediately and play with it
Trem after reverb? That's the sound of old Fender amps - maybe a resonance from listening to old records when you were younger!
Hey, this is the third video of yours that I watch and I thought I just had to drop you a line to thank you for the immense amount of food for thought you manage to squash in them. It's not just that you make me think about effects in a different way, it's also great to see your passion and your knowledge displayed in such a simple way, without the lecturing tone that I find in other videos. Thank you again. I'll keep an eye on the other videos as soon as I manage... and why not: investigate into your pedals :)
Love to see the blue box getting some love at 16:10 -- Most unruly pedal I have but there's not much that sounds like it
This is quickly becoming my new favorite RUclips channel. I wish I watched all of these episodes before I started collecting pedals! I would of made so many better decisions! But hey you live and you learn and that’s part of the fun of it all. Thanks for the great work! Really enjoying it!
Syncing analog delay quarter-notes + Digital delay triplets is also fun. It's very similar to the quarter+dotted 8ths but you can get a subtle variation of a "galloping delay" rhythmic effect.
The humble Boss GE-7 is probably the most underrated (or maybe not? It's kinda ubiquitous) and useful stacking tool.
Around a decade old? Arcade Fire "The Suburbs" came out in 2010. Close enough, and any Arcade Fire from Funeral to Suburbs is hard to beat.
💯
I'm a simple man I see JHS vlog I click like
Robot unoriginal comment alert. Yet 56 people liked it. Maybe its their first day on RUclips...
@@BeefNEggs057 😫 Yep.
I just bought a bunch of drive pedals. Came for a refresher. The gnat at 10:19 stole my heart
This is the best 'guitar effects' channel on You Tube by far! The information is so well presented, easy to understand and has been really helpful to me.
I totally agree about the Klon needing to be turned up! What makes it so delicious is the way it effectively adds a parallel signal of drive and your clean signal coming through. So that's what gives it that super natural and 'transparent' tone that sounds fantastic. Using it as a clean boost is wasting its potential and what makes it great.
+A fella who has enough kid about him that "Dude, try this out!!" is still a big deal. I'm 65 and just recently found the sound in my head in a pawn shop. Not vintage stuff, but modern off the shelf versions of cool stuff. When I'm feeling it, a big restrained fuzzy 60"s EC Spoonful is heaven. I don't have a Marshall stack played full on in a sweaty ballroom filled with sweaty admiring 'smoke filled fans to get That sound from That album. Try a Dyna Comp into a Boss FZ5 . I'm there. Simplicity works just fine. Doesn't hurt to crank up a Big Muff when yer headed for the Spirit in the Sky.
Enjoy. We are all children searching. That's what makes us cooler than the poor lost souls who plinka plinka banjos and believe they are musicians. . . well, that could apply to drummers too but who's counting.
"Trem and reverb - like peanut butter and jelly."
Next vlog shirt. 👌
My trem and reverb were busted when I got them. What an adventure.
I love my Flint pedal 🤘👍
Rick C same here! I was wondering why he didn’t mention the Flint
Haha edit! I replied before I saw the end. Flint FTW
@@dougywarren The Flint is freaking awesome!
One of my favorite noises for ambient alien backdrops is a p-bass w tone rolled halfway back going into an octave up into a mid-heavy bass fuzz (fuzz-face style, low gain) into a slowish phaser into a tremolo on fast chop and med depth.
On guitar, I enjoy any guitar with 2x P90/jazz pups set in middle position into an envelope filter into an octave up + down into a slap-back with 2 repeats. For fun, toss in a bit crusher on med-high sample rate pretty much anywhere in the chain.
Wah into a square-wave tremolo...into a dirty amp.
Sweep the wah slowly as you hit a chord.
I first discovered this using a Danelectro Tuna Melt and Vox Wah - and it rocked my tiny little world.
Am I the only one who didn't know you could link the tap outs on delay pedals like that? That's awesome.
As far as 10 year old albums, Tame Impala, Inner Speaker. So good. So very good. Lots of pedals!!!
Arnis Venta around the time that album came out I found tone nirvana by stacking a Marshall 8080 Valvestate combo I had tweaked into a 100W CBS Fender Silver face Bassman 100 and 4x12 cab.
The Marshall has a line out and I run both channels of the bass man in parallel.
While I was playing bass at the time I scored the Marshall, I’ve since moved to guitar and that has become the A rig. The only pedals I use is a modded grey Dod overdrive into a JD 2 transistor Wah. Then into the amp. Just use the channel selector to go from a classic over drive to a more modern high gain.
Sounds absolutely huge through two quads and isn’t overly loud, but can keep up with anything else if I need to.
@@MidlifeRenaissanceMan That's quite the Rig!!! I bet it can peel paint off the walls if needed.
Qotsa - Era Vulgaris, 2007 I believe, great underrated (maybe?) queens album. Turning on the screw, make it witchu, and of course 3s and 7s. So many gems. Plus that album art... incredible
I love that Era sound, people always point to SFTD for the qotsa sound but you can tell Josh really scoped something a little more unique taking the band further out from the sound of traditional rock at that point, the guitar tone and playing in that record is absolutely filthy I love it
Hell yes. Sick. Sick, Sick, Misfit Love... forget about it.
Ben Roebuck that’s exactly what I’m sayin. Everyone’s like “ohh sftd and Dave grohl omg!!!” Don’t get me wrong I love the guy haha but he definitely adds to why that album is overrated.
Suture up your future. I love the bass line in that song. Reminds me of "There's always something there to remind me" bass line. Just a bit.
Mmmm, great pick. I love how they changed up the production sound, opting for a trashy, lo-fi garage band sound.
I love your laid-back genuine attitude. I know I’m late to the party a bit but I ended up removing my Flint from the board as I had to let one standard size Strymon go. I typically don’t run chorus and vibrato (actually never) at the same time. Since I have the Mobius, which uses the exact same algorithm as Flint I let it go. I stack every Strymon delay except the Brig and I get at least two other places to add spring. I can run parallel reverbs and delays panned to really give me depth and wash without a muddy mess. Keep sharing your love of sound manipulation with the passion you do. There are many of us out here that don’t follow rules, trends, or marketing hyperbole. Thank you sir!!!
I send my Tele's signal into a chorus, send one into a Muff Pi, and the other directly into the clean side of my Vox AC30 clean channel. The Muff runs into the high channel. Play with the settings as you like, but I like that clean chime of the tele just in the background of the heavy fuzz. The built in reverb on the amp to open the sound up a bit too.
High Voltage by AC/DC. I've been listening to it since I was a kid... when it originally came out. I still love it & it never gets old for me.
Go For It LIVE by Fu Manchu. This album just has such great energy & the guitars just sound fantastic. Few live albums just have this sort of magic for me. Fuzz stacked on fuzz at its best, Super cool.
Fu Manchu is one of the most under mentioned band and underrated bands today. And High Voltage will still be solid after we've all died.
One of my favorite practice combinations in recent months has been running my SD rails loaded Strat or Studio LP to a AU$50 Klon kit clone into a Behringer UC200 ultra chorus and then taking the two outputs to my Blues Junior IV and my JVM210 in OD1 Green mode. Yes, there is a little battle to balance volume, but it works and fills the room with slow chorused cool driven strat tones and two variations of reverb....
My favorite weird stack is reverse delay->shim verb->tremolo. Soon I plan to add a SG-1 to the front. I just have to build the clone first.
my latest combination: light drive morning glory into a Hudson broadcast dual (gain at 2 o'clock) into the low input of a sovtek mig100. best drive tone i've ever had.
Octave Fuzz into Wah is an absolute eargasm, especially if you play a solo with double stops and 2-note bends.
2009 was a pretty good year for albums. A few come to mind:
Big Whiskey & The GrooGrux King (Dave Matthews Band)
The Sky Is Falling (Days Before Tomorrow)
The Whirlwind (Transatlantic)
Burning The Days (Vertical Horizon)
and of course Joy by Phish.
My favorite stacking combo is a Sparkle Drive going into Klon type pedal, in my case a modified Soul Food. I don't have the SF set at a high gain. In this set up, I don't think of it as a boost, so much as a sonic shaper or sculptor. I love love love this combo.
An album about 10 years old: In Rainbows by Radiohead. I listen to it all the way through yesterday and love as much as I did when I downloaded it the day it came out.
This video is my bible. I didn’t know all of this - rearranged my pedalboard. By five times - now it starts to make sense in a way. Keep rearranging but now I have a path and what to look for - even if I don’t look for the same sounds as in the video. This video is great!
My Blues Driver, into my Big Muff pi with Tone Wicker, into my Flint. Lots of dialable, killer tones in there.
I was at Costco today I didn't see the Kirkland Signature pedal :(
If 2003 is still within "a decade ago", then its Chutes Too Narrow by the Shins
I leave my JHS-modded Soul Food on all the time (the top switch setting) for a nice amount of crunch (except when crunch is not necessary) and I use an EQD Westwood to kick it up a notch, and for lead parts I stack my EHX Russian Big Muff reissue (with the sustain and tone past noon) on top of the Soul Food to kick it up a few more notches.
2003 should be within "a decade ago" but it isn't anymore. 😞
@@LazyCat010 Tell me about it yesterday I realized how long ago I graduated high school...
Y L They are back in stock in my Costco. I got a 5 pack of Boss Metal Zones.
10 years-ish old favourite - In Rainbows - Radiohead, an incredible record.
I love really open sounding boosts,
that double boost technique is a great tip,sounded good thx
today I checked almost 20 videos about pedals, and this was by far the only one which i learned something... thanks
So, I just got a Morning Glory and it soon became a big favorite and I placed it… at the end? No really, it's wonderful at the end of my chain. It's basically my "always on" overdrive (into a Victory VC35) for a great base overdrive sound - because it means whatever pedal I run I get them with the color of the Morning Glory! Crazy? Maybe, but it sounds wonderful!
I could watch Josh talk about pedals all day!
The man is definitely talented that’s for sure.
Thanks!
@10:15 I thought there was a bug on my screen. lol
I actually blew on my screen a couple of times before I realised the little guy was on the amp!
This bug, he is just runing around that tremolo->reverb section. (Just chilling here and there. Blow me from your screen.)
Basically now you can ask for some money or discount because you've detected and reported a bug in hardware :D
2009?
baroness - blue record
mastodon - crack the skye
converge - axe to fall
every time i die - new junk aesthetic
re: pete yorn-- the record he made with Scarlet Johansson is (maybe surprisingly) fantastic as well.
Saw Mastodon and Converge tour for those records way back when they came out. Easily some of the best albums ever made imo
Ever since you introduced that MG and Klon stack I have not stopped using it! It's officially a staple on my board. Thanks!
Earth - The Bees Made Honey In the Lion’s Skull. Such a beautiful album that transports you to a better place.
sprintingforsigns also from around the same some Hex Or Printing In The Infernal Method, and don’t forget Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light Vol 1 & 2
I stack a Fulldrive 2 into a Soul Food, I think they’re both mid boosted, maybe that’s an issue
Richard Swan totally agree. Big fan of Earth. Looking forward to seeing Dylan play this week.
Also, for the albums Wolfgang Amadeas by Phoenix came out in 2009 which was BRILLIANT
The Shins- Oh Inverted World is an album I've been listening to since it came out. It's always on rotation for me.
Love your commentary and geek wisdom, indeed the Klon tuned up to a higher gain setting is blissful. I used to swear by my stacked Hermida Zendrive and Marshall BB, however the Wampler Klon is the kat's meow in front of any AC30, Blackface, or JTM. Kudos to JHS!
I love how even though you're obviously your own company, and started with your own pedal, you list other great pedals that will do the same job in that place on the board. I dont think I've seen other creators with a brand they own, do really the same thing.
Best Stack for me: Tube Screamer (Volume and tone to max, drive to min) into Blues Breaker (low drive, volume to unity, tone to unity).
Artist: Russian Circles
Album: Station
Year: 2008
Now that that’s out of the way, someone talk to me about how you would stack the JHS Sweet Tea in a rig. Thank you for reading my comment.
Sweet Tea is great as a stand alone overdrive because it has built-in stackability. It's great with a long quarter note delay.
Thanks! I actually have the Meris Polymoon right after this one and then into a Boss DD3 and finally an EQD Afterneath. I have no idea what I am doing. It sounds awesome.
Scott Sweatshirt nice I opened for them a couple times in Lincoln. Super nice guys
I was trying to mimic that sound from the chorus of Radiohead’s Palo Alto, and got pretty close with a Big Muff Pi into a short delay. The delay makes the fuzz sound HUGE.
I really love the way you do those video, you have a politeness we don't see often in these days.
As I love your "Morning Glory" pedal, one of the more versatile, useful and good sounding pedal I ever had.
Keep going!
Oh, my favorite combo is: somedecentcompressor, I OD "Bluesbreaker style" self made, always on if not clean with comp, Morning Glory, TS9, CE4 Chorus, Analog Delay (self made), DD3 Delay. Stick my strat into and I feel I can play whatever. Ehm... whatever I can play, I mean.
1- Ibanez TubeScreamer or JHS Morning Glory, 2- Boss SD-1, 3- Tym Big Mudd (Modern), 4- MXR Carbon Copy, 5- Walrus Audio Slo, 6- Ibanez BC9 (Stereo outs), 7- *Stereo Delay (stereo in/stereo out), 8- Stereo amps set apart on either side of stage. *Stereo Delay = Boss DD5 or DD7/Line 6 DM4/EH Memory Man w/ Hazarabi.
I stinking love this channel
Room on Fire record by The Strokes is one of my all time favs. I love that there’s 5 guys playing 5 different parts that sound amazing together.
Fav stacking combo: Boss DD-5 with eighth delay into a JHS panther cub with a hard dotted eighth and about 40% mod. I do a lot of swells and spacey tonal stuff.
Bad00ter Room on Fire and Only by the Night by KOL are two of my favorite albums. Those guitar sounds are how I’m aiming to construct my pedalboard.
Great video. You also should make a video about using OD pedals in parallel, maybe using a Boss LS-2 to mix them together.
Thanks
Lately I have been playing around with the Moonshine V2 with clean around 9 o'clock. Then I run a Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret into it for the heavier parts.
Glad to see Pete Yorn on record time! Nice to see others who know of him..The earliest 3 records, Music for the Morning after, Day I forgot, and Nightcrawler are my absolute favs. The album he did with Scarlett Johansson was good too!
Right off the bat, that Golden Fleece has me sold. That sounds incredible.
Radiohead's "In Rainbows" and I can still crank that album and rock out to it like I'm a senior in high school driving to zero period jazz band, smoking weed as the sun comes up!
Album also provided a huge boost in PWYW awareness!
@@transCoder1 pay what you want? I remember that. Bought it as a dual disc. Other versions of the release don't include the second disc.
