I used HEAVY distortion on a mandolin through a Marshall with quad box. It sounded awesome - demonic and angelic at the same time. The high harmonics just seemed to ring through on top of all the fuzz.
Never You Mind is a spellbindingly beautiful track, well done Single Kid Lisa. EDIT: Also, that Water From The Sky improv was ace too - The Morning Glory Meteorologists nailed it!
Best end to a video ever!!!!! All of JHS videos have been so well done, but this was special and I so appreciated this as the gift it was. Thank you both!
It’s always great to go outside the box or your comfort zone and try something different. That’s when you write your best stuff. You guys created a gorgeous song and I’d buy an album of this in a heartbeat. Shameless plug: I decided to do something just like this on my last album called Acoustic Spaces. Except, I took one acoustic with many guitar sounds (an Acoustasonic) and used various pedals to create an all acoustic album of mellow folkish soundscapes. Not so shameless plug: every penny that comes from my music goes to my nephews college savings accounts.
Remember when we used to spend countless hours in the studio just to produce something that sounded ALMOST as good as this track? It's AMAZING how sound technology has advanced.
I would love to see a 'just try stuff' episode where you guys create something like this with just budget/affordable pedals (which is totally doable, Behringer Reverb Machine, Joyo Vision, EHX Satisfaction fuzz, NU>X CORE series, TCE Nether etc etc)
It probably would not sound much less in terms of quality. With Budget pedals, you’re getting a close enough if not identical sound from the pedals they’re cloning, but the compromise for price is the component quality. They are more likely to die on you at an inconvenient time if you use them to gig.
As always, JHS took things way farther (further?) than I usually do. Thanks for making me want to be more adventurous! I love using light overdrive to spice up the thin, dry sound of DI acoustic guitar. And you can't go wrong with a little (or a lot) of compression.
i come back to video often. Its my favorite vid this channel has put out and thats saying something. Ive played acoustic for 20 years and have just gotten into electric over the last two. this is a staunch reminder that acoustic is always first in my heart
It was the comment, "'Should I go to a minor now?" that got me. That was worth the watch...but it was topped by, "Water from the sky..." I never knew what rain was until then. I never knew what sadness was until the minor was played. Well played.
Boy am I glad that you made this video. 20 minutes ago I thought that the bass guitar counted as an electric guitar and I had no idea what rain was. Thanks JHS!!
Fantastic! I've only used delay, reverb, tremolo, and chorus on acoustic before. You folks have shown there is a whole world left to explore. The song and your production are killer! Thanks.
I use the Color Box v2 with my Taylor 314 as a preamp. I removed the expression pickup system in the guitar because it died and replaced it with K&K piezo pickups, the Color Box v2 works really well with the piezo pickups. The great thing about the Color Box v2 is that it can serve as a mic pre and as a fuzz box.
Great episode boys! Yep primarily I’m a guitarist and for so long usually have started most songs when writing or recording with the guitar being the first instrument I start the writing process on, but recently I’ve pushed myself to start a song process either with a keys/synth part sometimes now I’ll start with Drum grooves/patterns and percussion and build from that an see what develops and comes out, it’s been great and I’ve written various new songs in various genres and feel and is great being creative from different angles and using guitar pedals on vocals, drums, synths and creating what you want instead of what a piece of gear is specifically designed to be used with, if something got an Input and an Output then there’s no reason you can’t really put anything into the signal process and just change the normality up and break any rules, there are no rules really so just do as you feel, nothing really is wrong!! It’s just people usually or expect many things to be used in certain or specific ways cos it’s what they’re used to!! F*** all that be creative and do whatever you want, the results can be fantastic and teach yourself so many new things along the way giving you so much more experiences and knowledge using things in different ways! Great show and great idea format! Love it as always!! Thanks Steve in Manchester, England.
Pedals on acoustic is soo underrated. This was amazing!! More acoustic in the future. Rocking with electric is great, and tons of fun. But it’s nice to switch the vibe up sometimes
I compared 5 brands, 18 guitars, 3 shops......Bought a Taylor 414ce-R (cost a fortune) Plays & Sounds like a Dream. Enjoyed this guys. oNe LoVe from NYC
Wow. Just wow. You guys are just so gifted… Sign me up to the Single Kid Lisa fanclub! But for the love of god, *watch out* for all these guitars falling out of the sky in KC! We can’t afford to lose the creative force- NICK LOUX MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS!
The bass immediately made my brain hear an early 90's Billy Corgan dropping some lush vocals over this.. Great track.. Aside from a great track, the two of your sensibilities are fantastically chemistry-laden. Kudos fellas, beautiful track.
Really really really nice tune, very inspiring! The distorted guitar sounded like horns, it had a GodspeedYou!BlackEmperor cosmic noise vibe, but more positive
I play lots of solo acoustic shows (well, a lot to ME anyway, could always be more) and I use lots of FX and a looper to try and set myself apart from all the other dudes out there doing the solo acoustic thing. The Duellist actually works super well for distortion and overdrive on acoustic.
No reason why not! I use compressor > Zoom G3 multiFX > chorus > analog delay > tape delay > reverb on my gig pedalboard, and my Martin (usually) sounds pretty decent!
At this moment, millions of people are looking at their neglected acoustic guitar in the corner of the bedroom and thinking “I didn’t know it could do that!” While some other millions are composing lyrics to “Never you mind” and everyone else is browsing Taylor Guitars on Sweetwater looking for that nylon string one......
Love the Boss OC-3 with the range control. Don’t know if another anything at that price point that allows you to dial in the range so that only low strings have a lower octave.
SINGLE KID LISA! So good, they're kidding around in the presentation but it's a really nice tune. Great approach and wonderfully executed! Too talented.
I use a TC Electronic Bodyres, that one knob really sweetens the tone on any acoustic (adjust to tase) and the Clover *Shameless plug* is my “DI box” since it’s got the XLR out. Sometime’s I’ll run a Catalinbread Echorec too, just to give more spatiality to it.
"anything in the room? wait! is this legal?" my brain wanting to re-write your scripts. not that was needed because i still want every piece of gear in this episode and then BOOM! this epic ending! 😂
I´ve used same outboard gear for about 14years. I´ll replace when they break. JOBS A GOOD UN FISHMAN PRO II Preamp + 1987 BOSS CH2B (25€ in a junk shop) + GE7 EQ. I added a TC BODYREZ a couple years ago. No idea what that does but it sounds great. My workhorse is a 300€ Gretch Rancher Jnr with added Fishman Matrix piezo.
For my 12 and 6 string acoustics I only use 1 pedal a mini sonic stomp into a small mixer then that goes into the P A. The P A has basic reverb, chorus,, and echo effects built in which I add very little. Also all my guitars are through 1 of my AKG wireless bug systems. I tried just a cable once and found I needed way more volume and did not get as natural of a sound. I guess the bug system boosts the sound to where don't need as much volume on the guitar which keeps the electric tone down. Accidentally discover but sure helps the sound considering I use guitars that didn't cost over $150. El cheapo. Amazing sound out of these acoustic/ electrics. I'm trying to sound as acoustic as possible.
I remember putting an acoustic with a Dean Markley soundhole pickup through 70s Big Muff Pi and Memory Man many years ago, but haven’t done that since. I gotta update my acoustic pedalboard now.
Okay, maybe I'm a little off topic, but I urgently need a rundown of that drum setup! The sound is just AWESOME!... don't know if it's the drum heads or whatever... just great sound! btw... nice jam at the end channeling Travis Meeks.
I would be curious to see some kind of a breakdown of JHS' influence on the marketplace & the sales of particular pedals they feature. For example: I needed to go out and get a 'silver horse' & 'golden horse' (I needed both to be sure) KLON clone after the video where the 'golden horse' was mistaken for (and sonically super similar) to the original KLON. Not hating btw, you beautiful jerks have turned me into a tone junkie and I am enjoying it. Thanks for the passion and the flutter I get in my heart whenever I see the BILT guitar. Its gorgeous.
My last show i didn't have my electric so I had to use my acoustic electric. It was wild especially with the big muff. It actually handled really well.
You guys are just so wholesome and great. Great Job. I can't wait for the next show :) EDIT: OMG that end Jam, i m in tears! EDITEDIT: laughing of course.... EDIT EDIT EDIT: bye now.
Not an effect pedal per se, but I will say the Radial Tonebone PZ-Pre Acoustic Preamp is an amazing pedal. Gives you lots of options for using effects loops, etc... Sounds good as the only thing between a piezo or mic'd guitar and a PA or FRFR.

Such pretty sounds. Side note: if you guys just like, talked for an hour about recording and mixing, I would watch it all.
HA.... i was just thinking how id rather just hear them talk too lol
Absolutely! Please do this. This quality and tone you guys get is incredible
Yes!
Was just thinking exactly this!
I second this.
I used HEAVY distortion on a mandolin through a Marshall with quad box. It sounded awesome - demonic and angelic at the same time. The high harmonics just seemed to ring through on top of all the fuzz.
I love this series so much, glad it’s going so well.
Fuzz on acoustic is underrated. I loved this, and Nels Cline is my hero -- just so you know.
Never You Mind is a spellbindingly beautiful track, well done Single Kid Lisa.
EDIT:
Also, that Water From The Sky improv was ace too - The Morning Glory Meteorologists nailed it!
This is the most optimistic Mogwai tribute song ever. Beautiful job, guys!
So nice I watched it twice! I love Nick and Addison’s episodes
Best end to a video ever!!!!! All of JHS videos have been so well done, but this was special and I so appreciated this as the gift it was. Thank you both!

Make an album, or an EP, or something! You folks are awesome
“Water from the Sky” was legit awesome
16:58 That album name sounds more like a passphrase than an actual title!
Remember when we used to spend countless hours in the studio just to produce something that sounded ALMOST as good as this track? It's AMAZING how sound technology has advanced.
And that is why the JHS Show is one of the greatest shows. Comedy, creativity and crazy crooning.
I would love to see a 'just try stuff' episode where you guys create something like this with just budget/affordable pedals (which is totally doable, Behringer Reverb Machine, Joyo Vision, EHX Satisfaction fuzz, NU>X CORE series, TCE Nether etc etc)
And using other affordable gear too!
It probably would not sound much less in terms of quality. With Budget pedals, you’re getting a close enough if not identical sound from the pedals they’re cloning, but the compromise for price is the component quality.

They could use Flamma stuff too
I love my Taylor nylon! Such a pleasant little guitar.
Also loved what you did with the whammy pedal ... what an unexpectedly sweet sound!
Holy s***, guys that was a beautiful track. The melodies were perfect. Can we get an album?!?!? 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
Always super good fun laid back vibes with you two lol I stayed till the end and the bonus song about rain was just EPIC THANK YOU
Keep these type of videos coming! Love to see the full songwriting process with pedals as the lens.
As always, JHS took things way farther (further?) than I usually do. Thanks for making me want to be more adventurous!
I love using light overdrive to spice up the thin, dry sound of DI acoustic guitar. And you can't go wrong with a little (or a lot) of compression.
Farther is physical distance, further is taking something to a higher degree or greater extent :)
Exactly what I needed to help survive work today!
i come back to video often. Its my favorite vid this channel has put out and thats saying something. Ive played acoustic for 20 years and have just gotten into electric over the last two. this is a staunch reminder that acoustic is always first in my heart
On my song “My Best,” I used a digital oil-can delay on an acoustic guitar. It was so much fun.
which one tho
@@oldbloodnoise I think you know… 💛
Whats an oil can delay?
This was so awesome and I just loved it!!!
I love this series, it’s become my favourite that you guys do, keep it up!
Coming from a huge Wilco fan, you guys knocked it out of the park. Definite Wilco vibe with hints of Sharon Van Etten and Middle Kids. Loved it!
It was the comment, "'Should I go to a minor now?" that got me. That was worth the watch...but it was topped by, "Water from the sky..." I never knew what rain was until then. I never knew what sadness was until the minor was played. Well played.
I love what yall are doing, keep the good stuff!
I love whammy on acoustics! That sounds entertaining to hear!
Boy am I glad that you made this video. 20 minutes ago I thought that the bass guitar counted as an electric guitar and I had no idea what rain was. Thanks JHS!!

Best episode ever !!!
Fun to watch and fun to hear.
this was something really special. i loved the amount of passion that was pumped into this video. ty
Really really really nice tune, very inspiring! The distorted guitar sounded like horns, it had a GodspeedYou!BlackEmperor cosmic noise vibe, but more positive

Talent! Fantastic playing and writing. Excellent taste in mixing and arranging. You guys are truly gifted. And so funny!
Fantastic and inspired! I especially like that you guys give Wilco so much love. Please keep trying stuff!
You guys are very talented!...great demo and jams! Thanks for this.
A year on, this is still such an inspirational video. The sounds you guys got are beautiful.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Boss OC-5
Best "Just Try Stuff" yet. Great Job!
This was SOOO GOOD!!! That 5th up part!?! Perfect!! Every sound complimented one another!! More please and thanks! :D Well done guys!!
Fantastic song! And I love the witty and respectful dialog in all your videos. I just don't understand why Rhett has so many more followers than JHS.
I really enjoyed this one guys! Thank you for bringing it!
Nice, I have recently been sucked into this rabbit hole. I am glad to know I’m not alone.
Wow, the song you've made is simply great! Thanks for showing how to do post-rock-ish stuff using acoustic guitars!
After a month of posting this, I still keep coming back to listen to "Never You Mind". It's such a pretty and carefree tune.
This was fantastic, great concept even better tune!!
Thanks for exploring pedals on acoustics, which is what I play all the time. Some really nice ideas here. More pedals on acoustics!
So glad to see some acoustic guitar content!
Sounded incredible! Super musical and practical uses of those pedals
Also great ending!
Finally been waiting on an episode like this I love using pedals with my acoustic
Excellent episode, guys -- and the music you created was pretty special, in my opinion!
Awesome stuff! Man, you guys've got great voices too! More songs, please!
Great episode guys. Loving 'just try stuff'
Josh Scott - Give these boys a bonus for a spectacular episode, or at least an extra day off.
Nah
@@jhspedals Come on Josh, just raise all your prices by 10 cents and give it up for the boys!
JHS Pedals 🤷♂️😂
@@jhspedals as long as pedals are legal in every State, we should all be good… whatever that means…
im saving for the colour box. seems like it sounds good on everything. I'll know soon I hope
Best song yet boys. Good job!
Fantastic job guys!
Great fun here boys, loved it!
...DUDEBROS...this was an awesome idea and video...topped off with improv goofball jam...you guys are awesome...
GREAT show. Never You Mind was a soulful collaboration - fun and exciting to watch.
More like this please!!! I loved it.
That rain jam at the end was the best part
When I was younger I used to have a slot in pickup for my acoustic just so I could get feedback at lower volume, it sounded cool until it broke lol
SINGLE KID LISA! So good, they're kidding around in the presentation but it's a really nice tune. Great approach and wonderfully executed! Too talented.
That was really beautiful guys!!!

It's water from the freaking sky, brilliant!

Feeling some Fleetwood Mack vibe kicking. Great video guys.
Loved the song, the process... JHS seems like a really fun place to work at

hey NELS,, I mean NICK! that solo was spot on sir, I'm that guy.
Great series!
