What is the JHS Tacobolt?

- In 2012, JHS released the first version of the Superbolt, an amp-in-a-box pedal meant to give you the sounds of an old Supro amp. Mason Stoops had always loved that sound and picked one up immediately. Around 2015, Josh sent Mason a custom-printed Superbolt with a taco on it, but there was a surprise. We had set the trim pots incorrectly and created an interesting gated fuzz effect. We made a mistake, but Mason loved it! Now it’s time to say goodbye to the Superbolt, but in celebration of its life, we’re releasing a limited edition version tuned to the original “incorrect” specs of Mason’s TacoBolt. Tune into this episode of the JHS Show to hear the whole story of the TacoBolt!

I'll have to pick one up on Reverb tomorrow for $1500 bucks.
I think what I'm getting from this video is that Josh wants us to be happy when we receive broken pedals.
😂
The last two JHS pedals I bought arrived broken, for real hahahaha. I wasn't that happy tbh hahaha
Imagine a "He has the box" moment when a pedal is delivered in a pine casket.
But a somber, slowed down version, pitch modulated an octave down. That would have been amazing.
Then Josh could make a funeral sound pedal next week. You know just for the reverb scalpers.
🎵He has the casket🎵
All fun and games until 5 years from now, by popular demand, there's a NotaTacoBolt.
I don't know what is more rock and roll than playing freebird out of a salsa can amp
"I didn't even know he was sick.."
take your norm reference back to comedy-youtube. we can't have it here on pedal-youtube.
Dig another hole, cause the dead pan is killing me.
man i miss Norm...
I didn't even know how the superbolt sounded like
It was a national tragedy.
so who's going to record the bias values for us to set a regular super bolt to taco bolt values?
I wondered the same thing. Mod a pedal made by a guy (who made it modding pedals) that made a mod of a pedal he made...
Just put a bad battery in it and measure the values. 😺
@@MadScientistGuitarLab Make sure you check your totem
@@sugarkitty4777 interesting thought. My pedal power supply has the option to turn down the voltage...
In the future if you can’t find a superbolt or they become expensive on the secondhand market, the pg-14 is essentially a modded circuit.
I was gonna say... The TacoBolt sounded like the "push" knob on the PG-14.
Also if you can’t find either, or just want another great supro style drive the bjfe/one control honey bee is brilliant. That’s what I use for a supro sound. Wouldn’t mind getting the supro amulet or black magik at some point or their 64 super which is similar to a fender champ.
Can you get the sound from the Bad Monkey?
The Supro Drive pedal sounds pretty good at doing Supro things.
google supreaux run off groove and you can build it
JHS releases a limited pedal.
South Park banker: “…and it’s gone.”
“…..what?”
“It’s gone. It’s all gone.”
People will never learn.
Only JHS could sell a fuzz pedal that's intentionally mis-biased, call it "limited edition," and then make stupid huge money from it. Just a fact.
$249 for an overdrive.. sold out immediately?
Mason is a man of taste
And he has amazing slide tone too
Much better slide tone than some youtubers...
Josh makes 500 broken pedals and sells out in 84 minutes. Gotta love it.
Josh, for your next amazing feat, please make a pedal that only makes static and 60hz hum with tone and presence knobs. List it at $350 and be sure to label it "Limited Edition" as well. The flippers will go nuts for it.
It needs to be interactive and have a momentary button to go buzz-buzz-buzz like when you touch the tip of the guitar cord..
@@MadScientistGuitarLab I've got that set-up at the moment in a temporary house I'm in. I think I must have a ground loop over the Hellmouth.
@@MrScrofulous oh god, now you’ve given the effect a Name!!!! Josh! We need this now!!!
The Limited Edition Hellmouth!!!
And I have the TM on the triple exclamation point.
This is great!!! It does sound broken, but here’s the thing: when I was still a very young rock lovin’ guitar playing wannabe, my sister taped AC/DC’s album ‘Let There Be Rock’ on a cassette for me to enjoy. Now, everyone knows the sound of AC/DC in those early days. But the way she recorded it was not what it could have been. She just put the album on her cheap record player with cheap little speakers, turned up the volume a little too loud, and then placed a portable cassette recorder with a tiny built in microphone in front of the speakers. And that’s the sound I got used to and even today, approximately 45 years later, this is still the sound I love and the sound I’ve been trying to emulate in all these years.
Needless to say I love this pedal! ❤
I'm as free as a bolt now...this taco will never change.
I'd love to hear the Solo to FreeBolt.
I'll have a Second Helping of that, sir! 😎
It’s sort of bizarre how they gloss over a man’s death haha
JHS shows seem to be as rare as their limited edition runs 😂
They’re about as” rare” as jelly babies!
anyone have any info on that Les Paul he's playing? It looks awesome.
I assume this is going to be shipped with a gravity pick and a packet of Taco Bell fire sauce.
Taco Bell smelling goop..lol
Let me jam next to your Fire?
I've had an upset tummy all afternoon, working on my own batch of taco bell goop as we speak
@@NeilPundick lolol 😅😆😁
Eating dripping wet tacos on the same side of a booth is true friendship.
Fer sure.
🎶Let’s give ‘em something to Taco Bolt🎶
He has the pine box
Yes.
Damn, they missed a great joke opportunity there.
This video is only two hours old and I went to JHS petals to buy the taco bolt before I finish the video. Already sold out
How do I turn my Tacobolt into a Superbolt?
Man I love this company! Openly killing off fantastic products while launching a limited release. Making double demand for their brand! Wow. I’m taking notes!
If this is an actual critique of JHS, then they are killing the pedal because they CANT GET THE PARTS anymore. Did you watch at all?
@@ValWillKay Did you read my comment? I’m taking notes man! Also it doesn’t matter why they did it, they’ve still created double demand for their products! They sold out of the taco in like an hour flat. They made $125,000 in a freaking hour! Also also, they CAN get the parts, parts don’t just disappear, this is all intentional. You should be taking notes to man.
@@Push_Start_Nova how do you know they can get parts? Specific parts are often discontinued by the manufacturer so they can focus on making newer, in demand parts. This is not a stretch of the imagination. Also, if something is selling well, why discontinue it? JHS doesn't get any money from people reselling their products. Set aside your bias and use some logic.
Also, the extra demand due to obsolete parts. Technically, that is true. The J201 and 2N5457 transistors are obsolete because through-hole packages aren't popular. The surface mount versions of the identical parts are still made, and readily available. This video is marketing genius! False scarcity. Next up: will there be a TacoBolt-2 using surface mount technology?
Wow. 84 min later, it's sold out. Loved the burial scene. Another JHS classic video.
I need to hawk the JHS channel more closely, I missed out on this and the Solo Boost a while back.
I could throw one together in.... maybe 45 mins? Simple circuit. To make it sputter, just use trims on the fets and adjust till it sputters, or whatever you prefer. Not selling one, just saying- it's fairly easy to build.
I know where that fence is!! I'll be there tonight digging it up!!
“I didn’t even know he was sick.” Really got me 😂😂😂
Rip norm
f
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust ... but first, my clean tone.
I want that amazing grace/freebird cover played at my funeral
What are the specs? Everyone should be able to tweak their superbolt bias. End the scalping for tone
Googling it it looks like there's three trimpots inside a stock one, if you go fiddling you could probably get a similar sound
@@heggy_69 with the notes and a multimeter there would be little to no guessing
try turning the knobs all the way down
So you’re telling me this guy made some of the music in read dead and he used a JHS pedal to do it too? lol
Scalpers rejoice
“Are people lactose?”
meh, *soy milk*
"Everything is broken."
- Bob Dylan
I’m about to go dig up that Superbolt. 😂
Just saw Mason play in the Lizzy Mcapline tour, he’s an incredible guitarist. I was shook
ugh he's so good
Adding an adjustable bias knob would be a cool mod for a SuperBolt.
We do that mod!
@@ToneRangerAudiowhere’s your video of it!?
Lol Josh was not kidding about the scalpers
I'm gonna play my Superbolt V2 tonight as a tribute, for this was the first JHS pedal I bought, second hand. Previous owner colored the bolt red with a sharpie. Each time I see a superbolt, I feel like something is missing. Mine is unique and I will keep it and play it, for its value goes beyond money. Sincere condolences to Josh and the JHS family 🥀
Before you encourage scalpers by purchasing the flips for idiot money on Reverb, remember the PG-14 exists. (And other non-JHS Supro style pedals)
Geez, ...completely gone in less than two hours! I would have bought one, too. But, gone is gone. 😞
Comedic time is ON POINT with these two.
Also, really cool pedal!
Bruh I remember watching Mason jam with eqd Jamie and Juan on Pedals and Effects like 10 years ago. I didn't know he was a bigshot session dude
Love the sound. But yet it’s already sold out. Guess I’ll have to pay the equivalent of democrat gas prices for one on Reverb from a pedal flipper.
Been putting off getting a Superbolt for a while. Now they're $400 on Reverb...
Doesn't this mean that a regular Superbolt could be tweaked internally to sound like a TacoBolt?
yes
Thank you @@maxonmendel5757 Super Bolts V1 and V2 are now expensive on Reverb and elsewhere and as the Taco Bolts are sold out; I bought a Ruby Red. Love the tone hope I can cop it ;)
The Ruby Red has arrived just in time as Taco Bolt's are being flipped by the dreaded flippers for a minimum of $420 on Reverb, and true to form with the "Josh Effect" Super Bolts v2's have jumped 20-30%+ as well. V1's with their stamped logo were already in the high $300's. Ruby Reds are up too but there have only been a few on offer anyway. Now if only I can figure out how to tweak the internal pots to get closer to that Taco Bolt tone?!
I need so much more Mason content
Me da un poco de lastima que coman esos tacos artificiales, desde Mexico les digo, estan comiendo basura.. .
Is this a bird? Is this a plane? No, those are the prices of now discontinued, second hand JHS bolt pedals.
here he goes again playing on everyone with fomo.i guess its smart.
Reminds me of Neil Young's tone on the soundtrack of the classic movie 'Deadman'. lf you havent seen it l highly recommend it.
If I can’t build it myself, I ain’t interested.
Waiting for the Warm audio Taco lightning for 149$
lol
Oh my god I'm an hour after the video was posted and it's sold out!
I just spent way to much time looking for a Toyota MainTra for sale
I managed to keep from crying until about halfway through the dirge. Once the old clips from about nine minutes prior played. I felt the grief swelling up from deep inside my heart and the dam that was holding back my emotions burst wide open when I was reminded of the Lactose People.
🙏 Thunderbolt.
"They were not happy to see me."
What about calling it “Supreaux.” A portmanteau of “Supro” and “faux?” That would clarify what this circuit is to those of us who don’t know what a thunderbolt or tacobolt has to do with guitars.
Great idea! Just going to Google this real quick to make sure someone hasn't already done this...
@@jabarborsoops 😬 😅
Mason legitimately can act or has a charisma I just had to comment about.
Total Office vibes at the end haha. Love it.
@jhspedals could you maybe put the video up and then sell the pedal like 24hours later. I watched the video and then they're all sold out.
Superbolt is one of my favourite drive pedals so far. I own an early version with three stage bolt, that is almost wiped off. It's in Ukraine and survived the russian invasion. I'll wait until they become very expensive and sell mine for a price of a car.
Orcs didn't know what it was.
I’m so sad they sold out in like 2 min
Juxtaposing Socrates with Poison is pure comedy gold.
Not really.
@@Yacini4 we can't all be patrician
And a nod to Bill and Ted.
Wyld Stallions!!
(You just did the air guitar thing, didn’t you?)
You do realize that by doing a burial, you signed up to at least 50 lunatics digging it up 3 years from now from your place, slapping terms like "grave mojo" on it and then trying to sell it off for Klon prices yeah? (And yes, this will happen even when the burial is fake and the pedal isn't actually there). Love your videos!
turning my vintage '61 magnatone 6w to 10 sounds AWESOME!! it's also still a manageable volume. and... my jhs unicorn rules
Nothing weird. Just friends having fun. Loool!
Okay, who else searched the internet for the 'Maintra', found out later that it's an AI generated image and felt like an idiot afterwards?
Of course I get home and two hours after the premier, its sold out. 😒
Mason should be a regular
Im going to bury mine then dig it up and start calling it the dead bolt 😂
*looks seriously at wife*
"There's something important we need to Tacobolt"
YO HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE RED DEAD GUITAR PLAYER?
DIY people can just build a Superbolt clone and play with the bias to get the exact same thing, no?
Josh love the channel but you gotta tell your drummer to shave his horrific facial hair, its an embarrassment, thank you
Lol. Nick always looks like a hobo
Haha watching every single used Superbolt vanish from my cart was a swift sense of karma for immediately depriving someone of the Tacobolt😅😂 oh well, buying new lmao
Jesus this video is two hours old and they are already sold out
Already sold out. I need that sound though. Josh with how fast they went I think people really want this. You need to get to work on designing a clone with modern available parts sir!
Am I the only one who felt sad when they barley mentioned the man who was lead engineer for them dying of a heart attack, but are making jokes about the death of a pedal?
I feel as though it was a tribute...
And it’s already sold out…..
Alternate ending:
You hungry?
Yeh.
What do you wanna eat?
Tortilla.
Only True guitarist can transition from Amazing Grace to Free Bird! It once was lost, but now it’s found. Fly little birdie…. Fly.
Any wagers on the used prices tomorrow on Reverb?
Shots fired at pedal flippers. It's all on the table.
closed captioning translated the words: "we are selling 500 of the mesa soups taco bowl" 🤣Great funeral BTW
Please consider a non signature regular line up version that everyone who missed out can get! Thank you :)
The parts are no longer being made, hence the discontinuation
Wow . . . I like his tone, he has the sense to use single coils with a Gibson, he is seriously full on hilarious. Who the fu#$ is he ? !
I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED MY NOTAKLON YET AND YOU'RE PUTTING OUT A NEW PEDAL FOR ME TO BUY! NOT COOL JOSH!! 😒
That opening riff, with P-90s with that slightly “broken” sound had so strong Neil Young vibes!
Yeah with the reverb in the game footage, reminds me of Neil's Dead Man soundtrack
Listen, my family is going to leave me if you keep doing releases this close together.
same here!! haha
what is family?
But you will have a family of pedals
Where did Mason Stoops get those Tart Arnels? Completely awesome.
Literally sold out in 45 minutes🤦🏻♂️😶🌫️🥲
Baby Josh! Ha!Ha!. We had two guitar players in our band named Josh. One, who was older, was Metal Josh. The younger one was Baby Josh!
And the rest are Kami, right?
Wonder who else gets this.
I froze an acoustic guitar in a block of cow shit and now it's my two year old's favorite toy. Don't miss out on the Shitcoustic limited edition, only $249. Order now before it thaws out and starts to stink.
Every cook in every restaurant in the U.S. has that south of the border mojo and knows how to make a perfect taco 🌮 except that one place in this video 😢

RUNOFFGROOVE!!!! YOU KNOW?
"How will we ever get rid of the backstock of Superbolts...." Answer:
That Tacobolt distortion is uneven in a cool way. It's like the Harley Davidson engine of fuzz pedals!
less power more brraap
Sniff! I got a little misty there, now let's go get some tacos!😊
