- This week we talk with pedal-maker extraordinaire Chris Jupiter (founder and owner of JPTR FX) who explains that "music is about enjoying cool things, not the right things." We take a walk through the JPTR FX pedal line, including the Fernweh Delay, Warlow Fuzz and Jive Distortion, which are 100% as cool as they sound.

Josh: I'm gonna do death metal. Then proceeds to give us sonic youth.
And I appreciate him more for it lol
Lolllll 🤷🏻♂️
Anyway sonic youth in much better than death metal.
@@mikekashaev 😒 no
@@jhspedals the way to test HM2 style pedals is to learn the iconic riff from Entombed - Left Hand Path that starts at the exact 1 minute mark:

Chris Jupiter’s band is also called Warlow, and they make great Grunge/Doom/Shoegaze stuff. I’ve just mixed 2 songs for them which will be released very soon!
Also Chris and his team are great people, and I’m very happy to say he’s a friend. Well done Chris 👍
At least from those videos you did their songs are awesome.
Why you gotta ruin a good thing and promote your bullshit
Found the two videos you did about mixing the songs, so I'm going to check them out (Reaper rules!)
@@willssillyguitars6995 cause it's the way of the world? Why is their always somebody surprised? Also, it's a shameless plug with a nugget of info for those interested, is how most would take it. It's a spoiler of sorts, and that's lost on you.
Cant wait to hear Warlow playing
Josh, I think we made some excellent progress during our session today...
JHS comment section is becoming Garand Thumb levels of crazy
I'm in hospital and JHS vids are keeping me sane. On the first day I wasn't allowed to eat and wept a little cos I hadn't eaten in 14 hrs 😓 I get him. I also had a traumatic childhood!
As a Licensed Counselor, I think a lot is be said about this episode, and yes there was much progress achieved! Love these guys!
Feels like Josh needs a hug today. "Josh Needs A Hug" (To the tune of He Has The Box)
I heard this in my brain when I read this
Or a new rare pedal
@@Orion28296 I don't have that pedal, am I gonna survive? He just has to have that pedal...
The dark childhood topics, the sad stories, the angsty tunes that are kicking ass, the severed hand... very telling
Normalise primal screaming in pedal demos!
So great to see you boys go this HARD, that last jam was *sick*
The Death Saw put primal screaming into a pedal!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
“Untouch me!” I almost spit out my drink.... well done josh.
I wanted to sing “Untouch me, I’m sick!”
I want an "Untouch me!" t-shirt
@@jdkimple Mudhoney reference, you sir, win the internet today.
Unexpected expansion of the Josh lore is always welcome. These pedals are super dope as well.
Twinkle Little Scar was worth the price of admission alone. so much verb it's still bouncing around inside my laptop.
Josh is becoming a true thespian and I don’t know how many people have mentioned how badass Nick is but I haven’t and he is. Keep ‘em coming.
Okay. Not my jam, but Josh working through his childhood issues made it worth it.
His drums are sick
Nick's drumming was on point in this video.
Amen
Josh is like a thespian in a man's body.
That death metal jam sounds more like a stoner doom jam. And I loved it. Got my eye on the Warlow 👁
Came here to say the same thing
Somebody call Matt Pike. That thing was bad ass
I like that is off the cuff take on black metal was essentially just a good doom riff....
During late-childhood (when I was a lad of 59), I bought the last JHS-modded Soul Food from an online shop here in Tokyo. I was so thrilled to finally have a JHS product! A day later, I got an apologetic e-mail from the company saying that their inventory was incorrect and that there was no JHS-modded Soul Food in stock. I was gutted. One of these days, I'll find meaning in life once again, but I'm not holding my breath. (Tried that and passed out too many times.)
This episode had it all.
Drama
Anger
Depression
Introspective feelings that even make me question my childhood
Hunger
And pedals . Truly today is an amazing day
In the words of an very wise cucumber
“I laughed I cried it move me Bob”
Don’t forget the box
@@Wrigley953 You are so right I forgot about the box forgive me
I live in Wilhelmshaven, I know Chris a bit.. I love his Company and he deserves every success!!
He had a great Band years ago
Josh is f***ing hilarious! Put it together that every jam sounds like a band i would listen to, and Nick is a drummer i would be honoured to work with, just amazing. Thanks guys!
Yes yes …! This is the best show on guitar effects in the history of guitar..,oh my . Nick is amazing!
@@neoaureus and adison has really great hair. lol
(lets forget his awesome bass playing)
@@voided76 Now i feel bad, ofcourse Adison is also amazing, he just wasn't in this video, went to get some cigarettes and didn't come back :/
These jams took me back to SF in the 80's and 90's. Different pedals brought back Bauhaus playing Bela Lugosi's Dead at Berkeley Square, Vudi's guitar in American Music Club's more chaotic songs of existential crisis, and Ken Kearney in Assassins of God songs like I Am My Disease. The stories of childhood trauma just added to the demented fun. Tanks for the memories!
I looooove AMC and Vudi.
Vudi and AMC were/are incredible and i play them for everyone i meet. and I haven't heard anyone else single out Vudi's wilder moments. unique players all
@@jasonmelstad Vudi was the sonic gardener who watered and fed the deadly mushrooms, carnivorous creepers and roses with poison-tipped thorns in Mark's toxic waste dump garden. He made beautiful noise back then and I'm sure he still does when AMC gets back together.
@@kudgeond755 Bruce Kaphan's pedal steel too, the sense that the whole sculpture was in beautiful danger of collapsing on itself. did you ever get into Thin White Rope?
@@jasonmelstad Nope but I'll check them out. Thanks.
Josh is definitely going through something. Next line of pedals will be all black and will be emo AF sounding
An entire line of clean boosts and ambient reverbs.
I love this channel. Also chris buck channel. And rhett shulls channel. And other guitar channel. I love you guys. Without your content days would be gloomy. Thanks for inspiring
Check out Guthrie Trapp and Greg Koch 👍🏼
Fantastic guitar, spot-on drums, and great humor (not to mention the Oscar-worthy acting) mixed with some fun and visually striking pedals make for one of your best episodes.
Great company. I ordered a bunch of stuff from them and something got lost along the way. Without getting into details, they took care of me in a situation where a lot of businesses would have passed the buck to the shipper and left things in the kind of stalemate where neither party is willing to step up and compensate for the fact the customer paid for something and it never arrived. Despite the fact this all happened in the holiday rush last year, they had it sorted out on the next production run of that model. Can't speak highly enough of this team and the stuff they are doing.
Glad it worked out for you.I get zero response to my emails.
@@kevmac1230 I got lies when they did reply.
@@timnyss Sorry to hear that.I've quit trying to get a reply and have chalked it up to getting screwed.I hope people will see our comments and possibly avoid the same fate.
@@kevmac1230 they're not upfront about their ship time. It took over a month for them to ship mine out and then they sent me a defective one.
@@cameronstolhand7149 And they are on the expensive side of effects
"What I like about this is, first, it IS overwhelming"
Hey Josh, in like 1980, I was wearing a Bee Gees backpack, it was orange. I got tripped and pushed down by a kid with a Kiss backpack. He said “Bee Gees suck, Kiss rules”. I can’t listen to a Kiss song without thinking about that, but when I hear The Bee Gees I just remember my grandma. All I have left to remember her by is my original pressing vinyl Saturday Night Fever, it was all I wanted from her estate. That terrible time, really makes me smile when I hear Jive Talkin’, that kid don’t know shit about music.
Thank you Nic for screaming in the overheads, my favorite JHS moment ever was the “kick the drums, scream into the overheads” video.
Love you guys, love the channel. Thanks for all you do.
Bee Gees rock harder than KISS.
@@BitcoinTakeover I wish that kid that pushed me down had your take on it. Lol. I still love The Bee Gees.
@@ericcarpenter3263 Screw the bullies, don't let them get to you. That's how they win.
@@BitcoinTakeover I’ll never let that get to me. Actually saying on here really helped let it go. Thanks!!!
Sounds like a good excuse to not listen to KISS, as if anyone needs one
Ones of the best episodes. They just keep getting better, it's insane
Time to retire the tighty-wighty and make a new mini JHS compressor: The Hug.
Here's some copy for you, free of charge:
Hugs your guitar signal and surrounds it in a warm, cushiony sense of suppport..just like Josh never had as a child.
Even Josh's "death metal" sounds happy and uplifting.
Man, slide tone is almost as good as Rhett Shull's. Keep it up champ.
Hahahaha!
Careful, you’ll send him into another existential crisis
That’s odd…that’s not what Rhett’s been sayin’.
JPTR FX is my favourite pedal builder.
I own 5 of their pedals,(all on my board) with one currently on its way in the mail.
Just beautiful in their chaos
I don't know what is funnier, Josh's breakdowns or that he's being interrupted by Depends commercials
Those are personalized ads
I love these episodes of makers from other countries. I really hope you get a Bjorn Juhl episode. Talk about a story with tons of history and depth. Please, do this for us.
Yes!!
yes
You nailed the Fernweh pronounciation before playing the Jive. Greetings from G ;-)
Josh secretly loves Electric Wizard.
one can hope
Unfortunately, he mis-genre’d it to death metal 🤣
Man, finding your channel has been a gift. As a guy who loves pedals but is not electronically inclined, it not only teaches me but puts me on to pedals I want to try or own one day.....but the dialogue and comedy. Solid gold. 👍
I love JPTR fx and their design ethos, but I did have to mod the volume pot on my Tesla Wolf because it was drowning out a full drum kit and 2 guitar stacks at like 5% volume. Crazy how much power these things pack
You could also just lower the master volume of your amp 🤣
@@TriangleWaveRecords I mean, if he's doing that to maintain even volume across gain stages, then it's absolutely an issue
Design is almost a European take on Death by Audio.
@@TriangleWaveRecords I'm not ruining my gain staging for one pedal
By a Keeley Filaments. Done, all the sounds, one thing, except for fuzz. Just drop treble, and crank mids and bass, sounds like what fuzz duzz to me. Wurds are hard.
JPTR are a fantastic brand and Chris that runs the show over there is the best guy! I've done a few demos for Chris, as well as a video with him looking at other pedal brands and he's just the coolest dude! Great to see Chris' pedals appearing on this channel!
30 minute episode-- Respect. JPTRFX are amazing people with amazing pedals.
This is the best man. I woke up for work, night shift, sore and in a bad mood. Clicked this video and I’m smiling all the way through.
Αwesome!!
I need the Kaleidoscope! Exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for shedding light on more obscure pedal companies that rarely get demoed. Your videos are always entertaining, but this one was on another level!
Superb episode, gents. The more pathos piled on, the funnier it became.
I know Chris & his very passionated team, also jammed a few times with him & he's such a lovely & nice person. He deserves it so much. Same as for Dirk from Baguley guitars. :* Love you guys! Still didn't make it to ya, gonna change that asap.
Screamingly funny episode 😂 You guys are just the best. Thanks for the time you put into these.
I rarely write comments on TH-cam, but this episode is so brilliant that I simply have to. Not only that the video is amusing, but you also nailed the pedals' vibes during the jams so perfectly, that I found I need these beasts too! Cool pedals and wonderful presentation!
Cheers, Mike
I've had an AKAI 4000DS MKII sitting in my closet for years. Bought it new in 1975. I got it for it's sound on sound feature and used it later as a poor man's frippertronic setup. I never thought of using it as an overdrive. DUH! I know what I'm doing tonight. Great show! I really like the interactive features of some of those pedals.
I just love JPTR FX. Got the TeslaWolf and the Fernweh. Sometime in the future I want to buy the Jive and maybe the Kaleidoscope. I just love the almost crude Artwork, the whole "f it and make noise" get up. It's the perfect blend of direct honesty, being dreamy and weird, maybe a bit hipster and rock n' roll. They just ooze this either love it or hate it thing.
I can really recommend the Kaleidoscope
I have both. Great pedals, even on bass due to the warmth - so is the Fernweh honestly. I also ended up ordering the ROYBGIV for no other reason than why not. There's a theremin next door that needs a power supply, and I have to wonder what kind of mad soundscapes 2 people could get with one playing and the other just messing with all the switches and controls.
Just bought both the Jive and Kaleidoscope. Got them second hand for 225. Couldn't believe me eyes when I saw them on FB, just a few weeks after seeing this video.
these last few record times have been amazing finds. thanks y'all.
I cannot thank you enough, Josh, for recommending Manchester Orchestra. I had never heard of them until this record time segment. I listened to Million Maska of God on Spotify, liked it enough to buy it on vinyl, and had it become my favorite record of 2021. I picked up Black Mile to the Surface, which is also great, and their Christmas EP, which sounds like a nighttime snowfall - ethereal and beautiful. You often lead me to new music. This one satisfied a need I didn't even know I had.
Nick is, like, one of my fave drummers, ever.
Been a huge fan of this man and his products for years. Another slept on gem from Chris’ genius, is the “Add Violence”. A stupendous Super Fuzz clone that adds such unique character to my signal even with the knobs down. Do your rig a favor and get one of his pedals.
I got a Super Weirdo yesterday.
I can’t believe I missed this episode if only for the Manchester Orchestra shout out! They are my favorite band. Ive seen them more times than I can count starting in 2007. I’ve met several of them several times. A Black Mile to the Surface is a MASTERPIECE from start to finish. They’re almost like 2 different bands though: pre Black Mile for your younger, less complicated emo and Black Mile + MMOG for your more mature, deeper sadness. Haha. Truly beautiful, singular records from an amazing band. And they’ve developed into possibly the best live band I’ve ever seen. Please continue to support and listen to them. You’re awesome Josh!
"Twinkle Twinkle Little Scar" .... fantastic! That's just really made me very happy :) great sequence of notes and really shows off that reverb.
I just love Josh's version of death metal 😂
Wouldn't even scare squirrels out of a tree!
Josh is great but I feel like he thinks death metal is anything heavier than 90s Metallica.
@@danmorrison8746 I thought it was more along the lines of a diluted 80's Iron Maiden 😁
He so not a metalhead it's funny.
Your friendly grunge neighbor has put on a few extra Kg's so he wears his old heavy metal t-shirts. That but in guitar riff form.
Love using my tascam tape deck for overdrive, makes some of the best noise rock tone, better than many of my fav pedals
Loved the jam sesh in this video!
Great episode! My favorite pedal and jams were the delay pedal Josh couldn't pronounce but was real cool. Also, my dark childhood story is one time my mom came home from a long day of work, my brother and I were playing in the yard, and she revved the engine and raced us up the driveway and she accidentally ran over the family cocker spaniel.
When are you folks going to do an episode on Montreal Assembly?
Wow.
That went dark fast.
Real dark.
Like the cold empty night of disappointment that envelops all of us as we rush inevitably towards the slow heat death of the universe and entropy conquers all…
No escape from the endless abyss. Just unending gloom as everything lay under the shadow of nothingness.
‘K going to hit some candy now see you next week bye bye! 👋🏾
Gee. I cannot say how much I appreciate these videos you are doing!
And now I just got my first two JPTRs, the Fernweh and the Tesla Wolf. Yeah, baby!
I feel honored to have witnessed this process. Thank you for sharing. As for the parenting, you’re doing fine. Just feed ‘em and love ‘em. They’ll be aight.
Kurt Ballou of Converge and God City Instruments has had a PCB for a distortion pedal as his business card for years.
I found one on the floor of the pit at a Converge show!!!!
Most guitars, whenever you're entering extreme distortion + compression territories, I find that backing the volume pot on the guitar will introduce a whole lot of noise, sometimes resulting in very strange sonic results.
This is your best video yet! Loved it.
I never wanted a Big Muff until I heard the Warlow. Thanks for sharing this amazing pedal on your show.
the jams in this video are off the charts. very stonery and doomy themes. beautiful. would love to hear some rat action into those time based effects
Addison is doing a lot of the heavy lifting with his bass on the riffy parts.
Straight up. It's about "cool". Guitar stores should have frickin' mirrors. I say this to every guitar store I go to.
Yeah, that's right. I started playing guitar b/c Warhammer 40k lost the coin toss.
I once sold chris a guitar via ebay and just later found out that he builds this beautiful pedals. All in all an awesome guy!
that was pentatonic stoner rock, not death metal
Learned a lot from this video. A lot of people know that German people speak with a strange accent, but before watching this I didn’t know they spoke a whole other language than what people normally speak! Great reporting, Josh, keep it up!
Josh, I'm glad you worked out your problems from childhood. Oh wait you didn't. That's ok. Effects pedals are like puppies and kittens. They make everything better.
JPTR is good but Chris needs to learn a few things about running a business. 5 months to get a Warlow. The excuse was a vacation (that no form of email auto-responder was set for). If he gets the communication and organization aspect of his business figured out, he'll continue to do well.
We employed a few people for that :)
@@JPTRFX you guys will kill it 👍
Just get your auto responder game down and communicate updates on orders and you'll continue to kick ass.
@@EddieClark danke danke!
at last a show about JPTR FX!!! thx guys!!!
Awesome jams today guys!👏👏👏
His pedals are as awesome as his beef with greenchild
I mean the beef isn't really HIS, greenchild just started calling him out and being an ass for no reason.
Who or what is a greenchild?
@@Creed_fan_69 Trump chump with such wonderful pedals like the "MAGA drive". Dude just starts random beef with other builders to get publicity. He's pathetic.
@@Intaminator just looked into his stuff. Pretty dumb but he’s found an untapped niche market for sure lol
Josh/Weird Al-type sarcastic Dark story of my self-bullying 1990's angst:
Once in college I got a C in Abstract Algebra (no, that's not a redundant name at all). It was the only C I got in college. It ruined my 4.0. So I only graduated Magna Cum Louder (sic) instead of Summa with two Bachelors degrees.
*fake cry then eats chocolate*
But I didn't have any student loans ...then...
And come to think of it I retook it and got an A as an adult...
Because I'm a giantic nerd.
*adjusts pocket protector/trapper keeper*
Yeah I got out of a lot of much deserved beatings by doing everyone's homework.
Cheers.
B
"Untouch me" made me lol.
I didn’t expect much from the description of the Death Saw, but that was awesome.
Love how you just took back all the darkness right after a piece of chocolate. Great show!
Josh is Gingerish.
OMG. Amazeballz! Those were some great jams. Really inspiring. Made me want to sing again
Just ordered a Warlow. Yay! You’re the best, Josh.
Fell in love with the Jive and then got the Double Jive as soon as it came out. It's so damn good
Great show, guys!
Thanks guys!
Awesome pedals and some of the greatest jams on the show.
I love your approach to therapy. I also didn't have any real friends growing up. Most, if not all, of the time I was picked on and kept around for fingerprints. Today I'm considered, "Anti-social" I guess, but only because I'm tired of being a magnet for abuse, if such a thing exists t'is I in the flesh. Music is my escape, it's my therapy. Thank you for being a light along the path. ~ Cheers
Love this channel you gained a subscriber this is amazing
Awesome, i used to be online friends with hin during the good "harmony central days" very happy to see the brand is doing will and still going!
My favorite Manchester album is either "Mean Everything To Nothing" or "I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child." They are so raw but so incredibly produced and full sounding. It is a dichotomy that Manchester has perfected. I was lucky to see them live multiple times around the release of these albums with Brand New and Kevin Devine. They are certainly better live than on any of their records and it is a literal gut punch to see them in person. Josh nailed it when describing Andy's vocals and songwriting. I actually have tickets to see them with Foxing in January! :)
Love your work josh (funniest video yet). can tell you all enjoy making the videos
Great vid guys, one of the best, and that's saying something because JHS vids are always brilliant. Thank God Nick found some chocolate at the end. Keep working through that childhood trauma Josh. Top notch.
JPTR FX are my favorite pedals for their unique, interesting, unexpected, yet musical sounds. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but perfect for those with an adventurous spirit. These are the pedals that make playing electric guitar fun. The Fernweh, Silvermachine, and Kaleidoscope are my favorite pedals. I could not pick just one. Good to see Chris's pedals on your Channel. 😎😎😎
Another gem of a program. Thankya.
This is one of the best episodes!!!
Josh is one of these musicians and creators where the use of the phrase "unusable tone" means nothing... and I love him for it!
I really enjoyed this episode, and i particularly appreciate the way you edited the transcriptions of the phone call, eliminating the "like"s. A for Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Scar, I wasn't sure if it was that song or "Bah, Bah, Blacksheep", and that's always been a problem for me, especailly when asking for wool and I'm given an astronomical position. I won't sleep tonight. Oh, nearly forgot the Death Saw! It's quite really very amazing how one single man can take everything that's good about Sweden and put it in a tiny pedal. He should be awarded the Nobel prize for Incrustation.
hey after one year i have to say thank you again thank you thank you!
aw man! thank you too! we've loved being able to feature your gear. it all sounds so amazing and leaves us wanting more all the time. hope 2023 is amazing for you 🖤🖤🖤
Yeah, I got a few of their pedals. Love'em!!!
one of the greatest episodes ever! Great pedals, great fuzz, great acting and emotional story XD
btw, my favourite pedal was the Silvermachine, but the best jam was the last one "Blades of destiny"
Finally an episode on my favorite brand- I’ve had a silbermaschine for almost 7 years!
I love this session!
Someone give this man a hug!
Even while Josh is trapped in his doomy dark 💔 'd childhood the JHS team delivers some cool pedals cool jams. Thanks for the heads up on Jupiter!
Great video!!! The Jive is really nice on bass too!
Never heard Josh get this doomy on the show before (musically or emotionally)
man has depth, love to see it
Loved the jams! Probably my fave so far but honestly all are good and I wish they were on Spotify :-)
