I forgot to mention in the video, but I used a DS-1 alongside the Pedal X for the HSB solo. If you haven't already, you should check out my full band cover of Heart-Shaped Box! I used the Pedal X for the solo in our cover. th-cam.com/video/85HPGbVavEY/w-d-xo.html
Rest in peace the one and only Steve Albini this was an amazing video JQ! That pedal is one of my favorites because it’s very interesting and very unique
Thanks for the comment! Kurt actually had a stock Phase 2 for the recording of In Utero, so it's no surprise to me that stock hi fliers sound great for those tones.
I probably would have gotten #3, but there was an issue processing my payment so it took a while to finally get mine shipped out. I put my order in the same time #2 was being built
@jq.guitars I think Mr. Bill made a small batch then, just like he did with the pussy fuzz. Could share the date you place your order? It's possible that I received mine after Aaron because there was a shipping delay, it was not long after he published his video.
it's so cool that you are covering "Pedal X" its too cool that you were able to get your hands on one, not many channels cover Kurt's obscure homemade pedals, keep up the good work bro.
I knew it, there was something interesting being utilized for that particular solo. I convinced myself at some point that it must have been a sneaky over dub or inclimenting ghost channel magic to cause that effect...for all these years, was it from a single source or overdubbing, this realy bugged me. It was actually just a pedal!!! 😄 Thanks for enlightening me.
Hey JQ welcome back and happy new year 2025. I just wanna say that it’s very interesting about pedal X I remember watching this from Aaron rash and he talk about how he is it for heart shape box and now you using it is amazing. I’m just glad that you’re here safe and playing music and I was wondering if you can make my Squier Jaguar to look like Kurt’s in the future you’re not busy other than that wherever you do stay gold!🤟🏽🙏🏽👍🏽🎸
This is a really impressive video, I'm just wondering since Bill has apparently now built the Pedal X three times; the original for Albini, one for Aaron Rash and now one for you, how did that come about? Is there a chance that Bill is willing to make more copies of this pedal on demand? Or that he'll release schematics for people to build their own versions?
Mine and Aaron's were built at the same time. Mr.Bill won't release the schematic, I asked. Mr.Bill is a boutique pedal builder. It's entirely possible he could build more on demand.
Hey JQ hope you’re well. Just a quick question about your crest 1001 power amp, are they just super hard to find because I can’t seem to find one anywhere? Do you know much about them being quite hard to find?
They do seem pretty obscure. Really, any solid state power amp will work and sound about the same. I wouldn't stress looking for one, I honestly didn't like mine that much.

Absolutely insane that you have one of the very few Pedal Xs that exist in the world 🤯 thank you for sharing it's tones with us!!
Love your videos dude!
We need this collab 🙏🙏
Here are some pretty good stems of pedal x 2:08
You need to release the schematic for this pedal so the rest of the world can build one
This needs to be the top comment
Agree.
I’d love to see Mr Bill release it officially, it’s a brilliant circuit
I just found out nerdvana is releasing it in small batches email them to get notified when they drop again
Rest in peace the one and only Steve Albini this was an amazing video JQ! That pedal is one of my favorites because it’s very interesting and very unique
Great video, dude!!!!!
Omg its like listening to the studio recording. Thanks for sharing this with us ✌️❤️
Nice pedal,tone and video,I was suprised to see that the stock hi flier gets close to the in utero tone,Glad to see you back in business
Thanks for the comment! Kurt actually had a stock Phase 2 for the recording of In Utero, so it's no surprise to me that stock hi fliers sound great for those tones.
This pedal needs to go in production.....it will have its own audience...
My copy is the number #3. The owner of the #4 is unknown.
I probably would have gotten #3, but there was an issue processing my payment so it took a while to finally get mine shipped out. I put my order in the same time #2 was being built

Damn that sounds awesome. Definitely a cool pedal to mess around with and get some epic sounds.
Well damn thats just crazy its so cool to see such an strong fanbase even after so many years
Thx so much for these new informations about that weird pedal !!
cool to see more people talking about this pedal
Glad to see you upload again! Happy new year!
First there was one, now theres three.
Mr.Bill built mine and Aaron Rash's at the same time, his says #2 and mine says #5. Somewhere 2 more exist, and possibly more were made after mine.
@@jq.guitarsHow much did you pay for it?
Aaron Rash has one... so cool.
Tho he also has one called The Engine and its even better.
Great video and great sound man! I love this pedal 🔥

I always wondered what that strange effect was! I'm so happy that I'm now able to replicate it.
Nice, glad you upload ❤
Great video, sounds all but identical!
Yeah we got the pedal x video
Great video thank you!
Aaron Rash also has this pedal. so there are three in existence now i guess?
I’d kill to get one of these

Wake up everyone, jq uploaded!
IT IS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!
Guts shot!!!
This pedal sounds so good. It would be perfect for a experimental band, lol.
Very cool ❤😮

It’s crazy how all the best nirvana guitar gear TH-camrs have commented on this video.
I'm friends with all of them
@ including you. ☺️☺️☺️
What weird and cool pedal that i wish i could have.
What is the name of the effect the X pedal is providing? I would love to have one that sounds similar!
Ring modulator
i think this pedal x internal circuit has to be based on the EHX eletric mistress pedals.. especially the ring mod/filter matrix in pedal x.
I want one
He needs to partner with a pedal company to produce those pedals as a lot of people would love one & not just Nirvana fans
I see JQ the man, i click!
Maybe a modded Jen HF Modulator?
Hey jq, do you think you’ll ever buy a Sunn Beta Lead for some 1989-1990 live tones?
What amp are you using it sounds really good
TH3 65 Twin Reverb plugin into In Utero IR pack
so its like a DOD gonkulator clone?
Non riesco a trovarlo come si chiama il pedale?
Just saying, if you let someone trace this PCB. There could be a lot of diy options for people to build their own 👀
something about those hi fliers man 😵💫🙂↕️
MXR M143 Limiter modified ?
MXR Limiter enclosure was used, but it's an entirely new circuit
Did you borrow the second one from Aaron?
Hey JQ hope you’re well.
Just a quick question about your crest 1001 power amp, are they just super hard to find because I can’t seem to find one anywhere? Do you know much about them being quite hard to find?
They do seem pretty obscure. Really, any solid state power amp will work and sound about the same. I wouldn't stress looking for one, I honestly didn't like mine that much.
@ oh right. Were you happy with the mesa studio preamp though? Was it just the power amp you were fond of?
@@sleepyandy5842 Mesa Preamp was great, but I sold it because I got a Mesa 50 Cal head, and it sounded identical
Sounds like a Jen HF Modulator to me.
Somebody get JHS on the phone
Will you be posting a schematic of the pedal anywhere?
@devilspalm16 I don't think Mr.Bill would appreciate that
How did you got it?
He literally explained it
@@GummyGrandma69 you're god damn right
I didnt listen to the video
🫶
I feel like it sounds like dog shit
Your ears are the dogshit in question
