I’m enjoying this new more antagonistic iteration of Josh, it’s like watching a super-villain origin story unfold in real time.
What would happen to nick? Will he join or fight his former master?
@@pimcramer2569 THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
@@pimcramer2569 definitely some sith energy between these two...
Never thought Josh's comedy existentialism would hit so close to home.
When I was 17 I went to a pub in Hereford (near the boarder of Wales) to meet a man about a pedal. At the bar I met an old east London geezer who felt more like a character from a Guy Ritchie film than an actual human being. Out of a massive bag he had slung over his back he pulled out a huge, plastic, display pedalboard made for a trade show or something. On it was the whole range of Dan Electro Wasabi pedals.
He said to me "mate you can make any bloody sound you want in the world on these!" I said "Have you played them?" he said "No".
Now I had never seen pedals that looked anything like this in my life, the board looked like a miniature model from Thunder Birds.
He said "it's your's for 100 quid", I said "No" He said "come on geeza! 75?" I said "No'. Do I regret this decision? YES.
I want this story made into a short film please. Preferably with Danny Dyer as the Pedal Geezer?
He was gonna feed you to the pigs
Punish him Errol
That’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard! Being 17 is dumb! ;)
Fallen off the back of a lorry?
that Denelectro looks like the love child of the Star Wars Land Speeder and a 1955 Cadillac.
I love it.
Jetsons vibes
Rotisserie Chicken
Plot twist- it actually is
Oh totally on the mark!
"Nick, you're under appreciated."
Being an unmentioned bass player is the way of life, the way of all things
@@adamsteelproducer comes with the territory
He's fine. We let him go outside a few days ago.
My Casket better have the same serial number they tattoo on my wrist.
"HE HAS THE BOX!"
I like Josh’s existential crisis arc, reminds me that things always change and they’ll most likely bum you out……another great episode!
I remember those wasabi pedals. The crowd that danelectro appealed to (budget players) thought those pedals were too expensive and everybody else wasn't interested in them bc it was a danelectro pedal
Proud owner of a Seymour Duncan Tweak Fuzz (acquired it in a trade; said goodbye to the Big muff pi for the final time). I love how Josh uses the same setting that I use for the first part of the jam before the sad part
Love that Tweak Fuzz though I like the name Afro Fuzz a little better and I was oddly bummed when I found out Blues Saraceno didn’t create the circuit. Not sure why but hey good for his Dad. I’m sure he’s part of the reasons Blues is such an amazing guitarist. Guy probably has guitar chops to match his building chops. Why were all the pedals around 2005 so big? I remember my local boutique shop having one in the display case and wanting to buy it but I didn’t know if that was crazy expensive for a pedal or if it was worth it.
I love my Tweak Fuzz! That Double Drive sounds amazing, I'd buy one of those.
Josh: "on today's episode-"
Me: "THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD ONE"
they're all good :P
Every. Damn. Time.
Haha same
this is rapidly becoming my favourite TH-cam channel. I laugh. I cry. It moves me. Oh, yeah, and the pedals are pretty cool, too, especially the Double Drive. And Josh? It's gonna be okay.
Thank you!
The third musical piece should be called „Drive Shaped Box” 🙂
Addison is killing it with the drum mix.
“Some of you are amazing, but it didn’t work out like you thought, but you know someday, someone is going to pull you out of a box and talk about you” wow thanks Josh I really needed to hear that today 🥲
If I had a nickel for every time Josh Scott told me something was my fault, I'd have some change in my pocket going jingla-linga-ling
Then you could call him on the telephone. Give him a ring.
But each time he tried it was the same old thing
that Tech 21 is rad. I'd love to see this series continue - I love Josh's take on underrated pedals.
I literally went to Reverb as I was watching the video and bought a TweakFuzz. Well played sir…..well played. I’m not even a “Fuzz” guy!
Speaking about Tech 21, their Randy Bachman Signature American Woman fuzz is just criminally underrated!
Does this pedal not sell very well? It sure sounds cool.
I love that pedal! Picked it up the same week I found another Double Drive (had previously bought & flipped one).
I also like the Rotochoir and the DLA V.2
@@brucegibbins3792
It's hard to find. I got lucky and found a used one for around $100AUD
Straight up we need an easily available Garnet Herzog in a pedal pls pedal manufacturers dooooo iiiiiit
I remember seeing that pedal and wishing they'd named it the 'Randy Bachman Turner Overdrive'.
I think that hands down, THE most underappreciated pedal was, and still is, the Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive.
There was period where for years and years during the 90s and 2000's if you wanted the classic TS808 Tube Screamer you had to either buy the Ibanez reissue for $180, a vintage one for several hundred, or an overpriced boutique model. However, those who were willing to do just a tiny bit of research would have discovered that the Sparkle Drive was an exact clone of the TS808, but with a wet/dry blend control. Voodoo Labs advertised it as "being able to sound like playing through 2 amps." Now we know it really works to add your dry tone in for added clarity.
Why no one bought these is beyond me, since it's really the perfect 808 Tube Screamer. Most use TS to add a little gain and push the front of the amp, as well as to add midrange for solos so you can cut through the mix. No one uses it as the "drive" channel on a single channel amp. Well, at least no one who's played long enough and have enough experience to know that it's not really designed for that. Using it for what people tend to use it for, you'd think that between the fact that it's half the price of the TS808 RI, and a LOT cheaper than the other options, combined with the ability to dial your clean in would mean that most people who use tube screamer would instead use one of these.
Yet, I still rarely see them on pedalboards. I don't get it. They've changed the design and call it Sparkle Drive Mod now, I think it's the 808 with a couple of the more popular Keeley mods. They're still affordable and you can still but the old ones used for a song (literally and metaphorically), plus I predict these will be a pedal that inexplicably sells for was too much online at some point.
The JHS Moonshine is based off the Voodoo labs sparkle drive or a clone of it. Its a tubescreamer with the a clean knob to mix your gain/overdrive with your clean sound. Its also in the JHS Sweet Tea along with an angry charlie. He's talked about it a video and about the Sparkle drive.
@@mattdayne2585 I've played them, but he does a lot of oddball stuff, and they're $200. I was more talking more about at the time when you could them for less than half the price of a reissue 808, and they still weren't selling a lot. Plus there was a weird aversion to midrange for some reason, as least among the cord sniffers.
I never thought I'd have an existential crisis while watching a show about guitar pedals...
Josh, the videos are awesome, taught me a lot, but I'm mainly commenting to say your playing has gotten so much better since you started the show. Keep going man, much love.
Hey Josh, loving the spring classics t-shirt. You may be the only other person I ‘know’ that shares my combined hobbies of guitar pedals, road cycling and Star Wars. Keep up the good work.
Is he celebrating P-R finally happening this weekend? Josh has a few cycling shirts... sometime he needs to tell us the back story. Fan? Racer? Wheelsucker?
@@3eyedfishy There are no coincidences in this world so it must be a nod to Roubaix. His cycling style? He’s a big guy and seems very generous so I see him up the front of the group taking the wind for the rest of us!
I could see Josh on a Tuesday morning group ride doing strong pulls at the front on the flat sections...
Nick is the best here, "It's getting kinda dark, go to record time."
I can't express in words how much I appreciate Josh and the JHS crew putting on these videos.
Amazing pedals, and I remember the Danelectro Wasabi. The rest slipped by my my radar...
Good jams, and thank you all!
Thank you!
Josh Scott, under appreciated comedy genius of the pandemic age! Thank you Josh, Addison and Nick for keeping me sane! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Josh, Honestly, you sound like a man who needs something in his life...something like... a new guitar, a new pedal...and a new amp. For sure. I mean, that makes me smile, you know?
I think Josh deserves a new Harmony guitar.
Don't worry Chris, he is just playing a character.
Enio Rezende woosh
@@enioair I'm more worried about you, Enio. BTW, Any Old Iron?
@@Ndlanding sorry mate, I cant answer you, not because I don't want to but because I can't, I'm not a native speaker.
Wow! Great episode. The Tweak Fuzz sounds way better than I was lead to believe. Those Wasabi Pedals deserve an episode all their own. I always expect good things from Tech 21.
"one day someone will pull you out of a box and talk about you" genuinely made me tear up a little bit ngl
I love your t-shirt. The 3 first races are just around the corner here.
Oh, and I love your channel. Inspiring! TNX!!!
Thanks for cobbling together some classics.
Sad Town's a suburb of Dad Town. LOL, as a pedal nerd Dad in a garage post rock band, this rang true! Josh's on-going existential crisis aside, keep doing what you do guys. You bring a lot of joy to the world!
Sad town is why dad jokes exist. Normal things become funny after being in sad town too long.
@@orlock20 Crying, not laughing yet.
It’s amazing how you pull off these episodes! I can watch them all day long. Very informative and entertaining! I was never into pedals, but now I might buy some. Got a wishlist ready to go.
The Double Drive was one of the first drive pedals I bought when I got back into guitar after a 17-year hiatus. Stacked into an OCD v.1, or my AC Booster it just sounds ace. Does Led Zep II tones really well (and more :) )
Tech 21 is underrated, period. Their Rotochoir and the Boost DLA V.2 (the one with subdivision switch, trails) are fantastic.
Any of the Vick Audio drive pedals (Mount Pleasant, Tree of LIfe, V-2 Distortion) should be famous.
I learn something new every time I watch this channel. Thank you for your musical suggestions, always good stuff!
Rotary selectors definitely make pedals gooder; add toggle switches (for like in-flange and out-of-flange and stuff like that), and it would be freakin’ awesome!
Edited to add the hierarchy of pedal awesomeness:
No knobs < 2 knobs < 4 knobs < (multi knobs + rotaries) < (knobs + rotaries + toggles) …and so forth.
The more kinds of controls = the more awesomeness. Pretty straight forward…
I love his cycling related tshirts.
Nice jams, great video ! I have the SD Tweak Fuzz and i love it ! It was my first fuzz pedal, and every guitar player knows the importance of the first fuzz pedal :P
That segment with Josh checking the serial numbers of the pedals against the box and then concluding with "if a pedal doesn't have a box, it's pointless," is basically me on Reverb.
Also, I winced pretty hard at then end when Josh just casually chucked the box for the fairly rare pedal off camera.
I started working at guitar center around 2010 in accessories and we had the full line of these first run Seymour Duncan pedals and I'm not exaggerating when I say NO ONE wanted these pedals - we ended up clearing out the full line and I got the Shape Shifter tremolo for $17 dollars, still got it
Dude who has all those Plumes pedals on Pedalboards of Doom just started drooling when Josh started opening up the Double Drives.
Josh you're a great sport and you have one of the best channels on youtube that we all enjoy and look forward to seeing. Thank you .
Thank you!!!'
Grrrrreat vid Josh! You are a riot. Thanks for all the kind words about the Double Drive. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. It really did sound incredible. Maybe we should think about reissuing it...???
YES, the Wasabi Delay! * insert 'The Office Thank You' GIF *
Ok, the volume knob may be too sensible for some settings, but it's a great pedal and I love it.
I so love the Seymour Duncan Tweak Fuzz. Bought one on a whim when they first came out and haven't regretted the decision since... and I still have the box. 😁
He has the box.
Ding
📦
Love it! I have 5 of them and i also have 2 boxes. ;)
@@timwzk1139 I sing that in my head every time I see someone with a pedal box. 😂
Damn first time I've seen the tweak fuzz featured on anything other than that proguitarshop demo by Andy. That "I think I lost my headache" by Queens of the Stone Age intro sold me in a second, bought it second hand on craigslist like 12 years ago!
man , if i was ever depressed, i'd start watching a bunch of jhs pedal-shows. i loved all the music, when i heard the last one i thought, hey, Josh has been listening to a bunch of nirvana just like me because it was on the news that nevermind has been out for 30 years now.
I am depressed and I watch jhs videos daily - it does the trick
I'm glad you watch the news to find out how long Nirvana have been out. Just imagine! In ten years' time, it'll be 40 years. And in just a cenrtury's time it'll be, um, (I'll get back to you).
@@Ndlanding I'm glad you are glad.
@@tolvajakos I'm so glad, I'm so glad, I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad. (Skip James, I think, covered by Cream)
@@Ndlanding cool song, the original, thank you. the cream version is a bit too beatlesized for me.
I was always surprised the tweak fuzz didn't become a staple like swollen pickle. it seemed destined for success.
he seriously needs to get a mister Rogers set going on. it's time to turn this into a kids show with truthbombs and pedals
bruh i swear to god that josh gets a kick from finding obscure pedals with low prices and making videos that give them exposure and raise in price
Loving the spring classics t-shirt Josh. I'm looking forward to Paris-Roubaix on Sunday
Excellent episode, and at points I nearly cried. Especially in that first jam. Tour of Flanders is not my idea of a tour, and I haven't got the box but I've heard Travis and they were quite good, and while I never thought to buy one of their records, I'm now planning to check them out, especially as they're Scots and therefore better people.
This episode is a cure for my depression. Josh is the best! Nick you're awesome too!
So, I only own 1 pedal (DV Mark Tube Marker) but find myself fascinated by this channel....especially considering you talk so kindly about products of your 'competitors' - awesome
Reverb: Hey Josh, we're haven't sold any Klons this month, havin' trouble keepin' the lights on.
Josh: OK. Gimme a list of you most obscure, most hard to sell, odd ball pedals.
Reverb: Gotta pencil.
Josh: One-sec, they have to have the box.
Reverb: We'll call you back...
Lol … prices do tend to jump after each episode but they do down when the shine wears off. That Tweak Fuzz is a great one ! alchemy Audio does a great mod to it and gives it more hair. But great pick for a pedal that has been overlooked. - Rick / PureSalem Guitars
The most watchable videos for guitarists on TH-cam, somehow as educational as Tim Pierce, as funny as the first time you saw Sean of the Dead - Josh has it all - even the OK Computer voice was flawless.
The whole Greek tragedy with the box had me on the edge of my seat!
If that wasn't resolved I never would have gotten to sleep!
That's a great shirt, Josh! Good to see you are supporting pedals on bikes too 😉
Good jams dude, real good jams...
The wasabi pedals were so good. Plus there’s a secret switch (battery compartment)
Another great video. I really like when you demo the pedals with a drummer and bass, as I play in a band, I don't noddle at home so it's nice to hear it in a real live mix. BTW the drummer is excellent!
Josh, I really enjoyed that first solo. It was quite catchy and melodic. Nice job, man!
I love you guys. I find myself watching ur posts all the time, and ur musical, and I don’t even own an effects pedal. I just know u guys make me smile and laugh. We all need more of that in our lives. I even started using “Wurdz iz hard” when my mouth is struggling to communicate what my brain is thinking. Thank you for what u do!
Love my Tweak Fuzz! (the second pedal I ever owned) I had it modded to add a second foot switch that jumps from whatever the tone dial was set to (3 or 4), to max whoof position (6)
I agree completely about Travis & the duncan tweak fuzz.
Travis live at the palace is pretty fantastic.
The wasabi was really cool, that whole series was cool. My guitarists dad had this and an ibanez overdrive when I was a teen and loved playing it through his Mesa Studio Caliber .22. The double drive was cool from tech 21 too.
I modded a tweek fuzz with a pair of bc109s, and the" volume" mod about 10 years ago. Still rock it as it rocks
Your channell is the only thing in my life I look foward to every week. You are worthy of love Josh. And Nick is great too.
Nick is such a SMOKING drummer!
Today I walked into guitar center for some strings. Saw a tweakfuzz in the used case and thanks to this episode i knew to grab it. Thanks Josh!
Thanks for this one, it’s gold!
You are a real cowboy Josh. Every time you come into town, the saloon goes nuts
Finally... a Wasabi. I have the chorus/trem...damn fun pedal
I found the double drive at a shop in Rochester NY. They carried a lot of Tech 21 pedals. Call me crazy, but the Tech 21 Double Drive is better than a lot of the pedal on the market from the same time period. I’ve recorded many albums with it and played 100s of shows with it. A gem indeed
Got the Tweak Fuzz and the Double Drive. Amazing sounding, inspiring pedals. I encourage anyone interested in them to try and get ahold of em while they're cheap.
Love when josh talks about some of my favorite under appreciated things! I love the tech 21 double drive! I have a red one, and I have the box!
Also Travis is awesome!!!
Nice octave jam Josh!!
Noting that the shirt reminds me that strangely, Paris Roubaix is this weekend, and I am very psyched!
Nick’s direction was the highlight of this video for me. Awesome job!
I have a couple of those Wasabi pedals, the one in the video and the Rock'a'bye (rockabilly style delay+distortion), both are pretty good but I have found the push switches to be a little on the delicate side compared to the tankesque outer build. The branding is weird: on the pedal, the box, the manual it would be easy to miss that they have anything to do with Danelectro as only the embossing on the sides of the pedal says it. Many thanks for increasing the value of mine, please do the mk1 Volvo V40 and my house next :-)
Man, I really liked the rock a bye pedal. One of the few pedals I've ever regretted selling. Doubles the weight of pedal board by itself though.
Before you do the Volvo V40, could you please do the Chapman ML2 guitar with EMGs, as I need the money for Christmas. Thanking you in advance.
Great t-shirt Josh!
thank you for being considerate about my week, josh. just for that ill buy a PG-14 at some point down the line
Loved this episode Josh!
Great show as always.
You guys just seriously crack me up. Thanks for that.
Josh and Friends!
Watching your video led me to remember the “Four Gentlemen” in traditional Chinese art. Each of these represent a season and a quality of an individual’s character: the plum blossoms in winter (reflects strength of character in harsh conditions); the grass orchid for spring, this particular orchid is hard to see because it is often hidden under tall grass (reflects a good character that is there even though not seen or appreciated by others); the bamboo for summer bends in the wind but does not break (reflects good character even though things are going against them); and the chrysanthemum blooms in autumn (reflects a person whose character/wisdom blossoms late in life). Regardless of how the world treats us or our fortunes we should all strive to have good character symbolized by the “Four Gentlemen”
That dad jam DID start out great, I was like ooooh what is this??? Then I was like oh what IS this???
If Josh is wearing that shirt we might expect he 'll be doing bicycle reviews soon. It 's also about pedals, ... kind of.
Great ep....more like this please
Hey J ☺😎 Oh Wow... I'd Have to Say.. You Got Me on Those 3.. Lovin That Wasabi Delay... And Great Jams to Guys ☺☺😎💯
I have a Dano Wasabi Reverse Delay… and I’m never letting it go!!! The high cut is worth the entrance fee alone… the reverse mode is the icing on the cake!!!
And… “I have the box!!!”
hi, 1 years late but does the wasabi really a really great reverse?
Im a fan of the original back talk tho
Nice shirt. Stoked for tomorrow and Sunday!
The dad jam was not only my favorite jam on this video but on any of your videos. Very entertaining from time to time. Peace.
Ok most of the time.
Everyone: oooooh, shiny pedals!
Me: DE KOERS IS VAN ONS! :-D
FYI: I'm referring to Josh' shirt, which features a number of famous cycling races in Flanders (and 1 in northern France). 'De koers is van ons' (loose translation: 'cycling races are our thing') was a slogan used by a Flemish newspaper for a daily column discussing the various cycling races taking place during the season.
Al zeker twee vlamingen die dit kanaal volgen :)
@@after2burner Ne Vlaming weet wa goe is ;-)
Aah the classics... love the shirt Josh ! Ride on.
Nick, thank you so much for the mercy cut right before Record Time. It was really time someone put Josh out of his misery.
You need to review the Boss ME range! The ME 70 is so great. I love it. Great show, keep up the great stuff, whatever, you know, jolly good , etc.
Definitely needed this video. In the last 30 days I buried one of my best friends, my wife ended up in the ER (still don't know what's wrong) and my mother went to the ICU for a week with covid and pneumonia. Oh, and my roof leaked. It has been warm and muggy in KC hasn't it...
Ugh! I'm so sorry :(
I'm glad we could be a little bit of light for you. Hope things take an upward turn soon!
@@jhspedals thank you!! It means a lot! 😀
The wasabi pedal kicks ass! Sounds amazing!! Thanks for sharing these pedals!
Had a friend about 16 years ago that had a pedal board of the older Dano pedals, they were thinking about getting some of the newer line where the Wasabi came from, but they ultimately kept the board all older pedals because they just liked them.
💪🏼
Great episode. So when is Nick going to start selling drum samples? Best snare drum tone!!
Check out their bandlab link in the decription. You can get the isolated tracks there.
these are definitely some of the best jams you have done good sir
