JHX pedals series = Jealo(usly)-harmonix. Always when talking about octave pedals, I wish there would be a switch to choose octave up - octave off - octave down. Or control knob; 0 = octave off, 0-12 o'clock octave up, 12-full octave down.
They would have to make it SMD to be able to keep costs down but in true JHS fashion charge 47 times as much the cost to make it. The whole point of SMD circuits was to keep costs down and then get more complicated circuits in the same amount of space, not charge $400 for a $0.57 circuit
@@patrickbutcherine142 It's not just the cost of the material. Obviously it takes a lot of R&D, = time. Machinery and staff also have to be paid, rent for production space and so on and so forth. It think you're way off target. And besides they also make a $99 version, so simmer down, man ;-)
Ye gods, you guys have outdone yourselves yet again. Pedal history, typography, D&D-so many glorious nerdy touchstones in this. Thank you, that was massively entertaining. Yes, I would buy a Lizard Queen. Also, I’ve decided that “three knobs and a switch” is the “three chords and the truth” of pedal design. Nobody really needs anything more than that.
I think pedal collabs should be a bigger thing as a whole. You pedal builders seem like such a kind, tight knit community that is open to the sharing of knowledge, so why not collab more often? The Angry Driver was a hit, this could be too!
When collaboration does happen, it usually makes for great pedals too. Chase Bliss + Drolo + a bunch of other people made the MOOD and its one of the best new pedals out there. The EQD and DBA collab is super good too
I would not LIKE to see this happen. I would EXPECT this to happen. Those giant boxes and amazing fonts made the pedals sound better. If anyone could bring this to life, it's JHS. After that, please bring back Atari games.
This is funnily very true. I have a vintage green muff. I don't have it on my board for practical reasons, but man, when you see this box, when you feel the weight, you have a feeling that the sound is as enormous as the box.
I love watching JHS videos but as a graphic designer this is the most exciting video you've ever made. And with my favorite illustrator too! Thanks for making this!
!! wooo this has never been done on National TV........ ups!! !! this wonderful JHS episode made me think that I was watching a Panasonic tube TV! but its You Tube's 2022 and were are not free anymore !! 😆😃
Yep I would buy one even though I sell my own limited production pedals here in Hawaii. THANKS Josh! P.S. Nick is still the Charlie Watts of you tube demos.
I would absolutely buy this. Beautiful work guys! I’m obsessed with octave fuzz and was literally just thinking yesterday how weird it was that EHX never really made a proper octave fuzz.
the Octavix Is EHX's version of the classic Octavia. Plus, they added a 9 to 24 volt switch and made it true Bypass. Its been my favorite Octave Fuzz for years. That Pedal Show did a blindfold shootout a while back and I think it came out first place !
Thought the Lizard Queen sounded great! Good luck with production. I've built a few pedals for myself, and always enjoyed quirky labeling. Such as the in and out jacks labeled 'Come In' and 'Go Away'. I built a buffer pedal for a piezo pickup labeled 'Pie Buffer' with a knob that went from 'Dull' to 'Shiny'. Fun stuff.
I wasn’t aware that the “St. Anger Snare” was apart of the 70’s Nick! But I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who picked that out! 🤣🤣 Record Time calling it out. Love the Pedal! Great work! I am all for it! Nick, make sure you don’t forget to film the episode on how you were able to achieve that snare sound 🤣🤣. Have a great week gents!
this episode is a poem !! ....unexpected topic, massive creativity, magic plot, sweet self references, lots of irony the pedal looks better than it sounds but who cares 😊
What a fantastic / informative show. An EHX / JHS collaboration would be amazing and I think the only issue would be how quickly you sell out of the pedals
I got the nano the other day and love it! Apparently I’m growing a fuzz collection and this is the main one on the board. Thanks for making a nano version.
I want to see this thing for real on the market. The D&D element added so much playful fun to the story. I play with my brothers when we get together. It would be the main fuzz running through all the songs on an album inspired by the weirdness of where our D&D campaigns often go.
This is one of my new favorite gear videos. I'm an industrial designer (toy industry) and graphic designer and part of what I have always loved about collecting synthesizers and effects pedals is the form factor and graphics, but NO ONE ever talks about the design elements. The fact that you even demonstrate how to use Letraset is amazing. When I was in design school we had a closet with thousands of sheets of that stuff with fonts, icons and lines to use on our projects. Love this video and really want to buy a Lizard Queen pedal!
I can't speak for everyone, but part of the reason I always look forward to watching The JHS Show is because I enjoy nerdy deep dives into pedal history and most of all because I enjoy listening and learning from people who are clearly so knowledgeable about their interests. The entire section on the design of the pedal was absolutely fascinating - I learned so much, and it was almost frustrating knowing Daniel could have gone on for hours about just the history of screenprinting effects pedals and I'll never get that sweet brain bug nectar. I know it'd be an outlier episode, but I'd really enjoy some content about the design of JHS Pedals, the story of the designs behind some of your designers favourite pedal aesthetics and so on.
This has been one of the very best JHS shows I've seen in years. Thank you so much. And pleeeaaasse put these into production. I want to see it and I want one for myself - the cut-through on the bass was brilliant (something you don't get with the Muff). But where was Addison???!!!
This is super cool! I really like the idea of developing a pedal like you were back in 1974. Thanks for sharing all those details! The desing turned out awesome. The sound is cool to. I‘d totally buy one of these!
PLEASE DO A COLAB!!!!! Straight up, this is the best video I’ve seen from this channel. This is a great concept. I’m more of an amateur in terms of building pedals, but this lights me up, and makes me want to pick up the soldering iron and just build a bloody pedal. Cheers!!
Would you ever consider doing a breakdown of this circuit? I'd love to see how you went about the octave portion of the circuit and the blend control. Also, there should definitely be a Josh Scott/Daniel Danger stoner rock album called Lizard Queen. That is something I would actually spend money on, which is saying something.
OMG I have been a graphic designer since the 70-80’s. I remember all the work that went into a design, letraset, peel coats, photography sessions, markers, etc. Then came Macs and Adobe and the rest is history. Designers today have no idea 😂😂 I loved the raw originality of ehx, morley and others. No more originality today, everything has been done 🤘🤘
Didn't mean to link to some weird Aussie job trade board, but I'll bet there are pedal makers in there somewhere, so like, hire and Aussie and make the Lizard Queen!
Just got to watch this episode. OMG! This is spot on THE SOUND I think of when I envision an octave fuzz. This doesn't need to happen, this should have happened. Sign me up for a time traveler's mission! Also, I'd take at least 2. Great work!
Having been hatched in 1972, I remember playing with those rub-on transfer letters as a kid. There used to be superhero and cartoon themed books of backgrounds that came with the characters and props on a rub-on transfer sheet, so you could build your own scenes. And all the good t-shirt designs were screen-printed (much better than the iron-on designs). I'm starting to think this video should come with a "flashback" warning...
I know I am like a year behind, but this is probably my favorite video from JHS. I would not hesitate to buy one of these if they ever did get made. And if they never do, I will learn how to make one and how to do the design. Willing to teach myself two new skills for this pedal. Just saying.
That pedal sounds great and I will always have a soft spot for EHX pedals in the classic, giant enclosures. I would enjoy having a Lizard Queen on my board. I have wanted to try out an octave fuzz for a little while now.
Yes! Please do whatever it takes to get an EHX/JHS collaboration done!

Why? Josh doesn't collaborate. Josh steals ideas from other companies and "faithfully recreates" them.
I think I would rather have one of everything from both of them. Infinite signal train combinations. Better than Bits & Bites.
I would love a lizard queen octave fuzz. This episode was hilarious.
fuck yeah. let ehx do an unlimited run so everybody can be happy.
Jhs puts out the original then they put out the reissue in their fun rounded style
This is the only way. If the run is limited, the pedals will get scalped and sold for 10 times the price, just like the Boss Tone Bender.
AND PLEASE INCLUDE A WOODEN BOX!

If this was NOT able to be made, I’d love to see the schematic and make one at home. Sounds great!
Same!
Me 3!

Yes Please Meow

I cannot express how much I want an EHX/JHS collaboration to be a thing.

Would be an instant purchase - and Danger's breakdown of Some Kind of Monster was laugh out loud hilarious.
The Lizard Queen is awesome. Do it, Electro-Harmonix! DO EEEET
Do it yourself, man this is the message.
Make it happen captain. The world needs their JHX Lizard Queen!
Dude JHX
Nailed it
Mike has to let you guys do this for sure.
“900 days in a studio and all we got was St. Anger.” …. That’s a shirt if there ever was one.
Oh man, that pedal is just fantastic! Lizard Queen, I would love one.
Make a flanger with reverse reverb = The Dyslexic Mistress. Or a delay that randomly misses a repeat = The Forgetful Man.
This is a ridiculously cool concept, and amazingly well done on the printing and the circuit
I would 1000% buy a lizard queen if you made a limited run, super rad!!
I think pedal collabs should be a bigger thing as a whole. You pedal builders seem like such a kind, tight knit community that is open to the sharing of knowledge, so why not collab more often? The Angry Driver was a hit, this could be too!

Holy cow… I’d be lined up to buy one of these. EHX (JHX?) make it happen!!! Great story, and loved watching all of the process unfold!
Oh i adore the mashup name JHX. That would make it truly a perfect pair.

Yes. Make this. We will buy it. Also, Daniel is fantastic-please feature him more often. What a great presence.

Totally agree, he compliments Josh beautifully too

I would absolutely buy this. Beautiful work guys! I’m obsessed with octave fuzz and was literally just thinking yesterday how weird it was that EHX never really made a proper octave fuzz.
I was thinking the same thing.....in 1974. L O L
I can’t help but wonder if the Deluxe Octave Multiplexer was a functional equivalent?
The octavix lol
@@ThruThaRoofComedy that’s a modern pedal. How they made it through the late 60s and 70s without a proper Octave Fuzz is rather… puzzling.

Absolutely 100% would buy this! This is so cool.
I'd love to see this realized as an "actual" pedal. Would buy day one.
I learned so much more about the sides of pedals nobody talks about but absolutely should. Pedal nerds need to talk more about how boxes are painted
This. Is. Incredible.
Lizard Queen definitely sounds king crimson “lizards” era
