“Knob Wood” - just priceless.
I don't think it's ever going to go away now 😂
@@MadeofThings I agree !!!
How he kept a straight face when he said that I'll never know.
I’ve switched all of my knobs out for only the rarest maple ones.
They’re only harvested once every 5 years, under a waning gibbous moon. 🌚
*Almost forgot...yes, they are priceless...I don’t think _anyone_ would put a price on them. 😀
So much ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your knob wood.
I'm surprised that Josh even had to mention that the knobs are made from knobwood because you'd have to be deaf to not immediately recognize the distinct character that it imparts to the signal. It's great that the knobs are raised and harvested organically, but what was the NAME of the knobwood tree that the Crimson tone knob was harvested from? And is there a bird on it? I am far from convinced (snnniiifff)!
"Knobwood" makes Brits blush
@@iggydeohgee No it doesn't. We have standards in profanity which Americans will never grasp.
Stavros Papadimitriou “bang on” - Oooer titter Matron
Laughs in tonewood
It does have a unique timbre
Man. Firebird with the Tonebender is just righteous.
GO PACK GO!!!!
I totally agree. That was my favorite for sure.
I've been dying to build that sound. It's in Rhett's hands and those older mini's. What an amazing combo.
So now I have to get not only new pedal, but also new guitar damn ...
Dont forget the Deco
Josh is a genius and has such a hilarious personality. It makes it so much easier to spend money when the recipient is cool and NOT a douche.
100%... and he doesn't over-push his own stuff. I enjoy his posts.
*cough* *cough* Rob Chapman*cough* *cough*
One just want to buy pedal from people like Josh, or Jamie Stillman, Brian Wampler just purely for how nice and funny those people are.
.....someone in mind ?.
You might want to do a google search before you say tha... all that shines is not gold my friend
JHS offered me a job right out of highschool, one year before they got big. I regret everything
they're hiring a builder right now
Big oof
I bought a Big Muff clone after watching a bunch of your videos and listening to players like Stu G and Dan Auerbach. I started to realize that a lot of classic sounds that I love were fuzz instead of overdrive or distortion. Also fuzz is surprisingly versatile depending on what kind of signal you cascade it into.
So you converted one person. :)
90% of youtubers who say, "click here" and point over there shoulder never put the link there. Real stats
You’re right, I ALWAYS forget. It’s a character flaw
@@RhettShull lol
I have never ever EVER come across such behaviour ....where did you get your stats from? CNN? lol!
@@evansteidtman962 Clowns are considered funny usually....but you're right it isn't funny....it's tragic....
I'd probably still watch JHS videos even if I had no interest in guitar. He is so funny.
Seriously though. His laid back joking is so hilarious. I hardly ever care about the pedals and just like his videos for his sparking personality 😂
I watch Josh's videos all the time and I play keyboards

Lol
lmao
Think by “they” he meant JHS. Sorry i killed the joke i know
“Ruin your pedal, bro. I dont care. Knobwood” -JHS
i opened my browser in the moment you and all the other gear guys uploaded the reviews for these and it was just amazing to see all these videos come out at the same time like a wind of information blowing in my face. thank you for being such a huge information source for me and for many others, you, jhs, livingroom demos, and the many people that are continiously providing content are the reason i and many others are finding our own sound and developing a whole new generation of musicians that know their gear and understand sound much more than ever
Whooooooo mercy, i'm gonna need me that Supreme in my life!
Dude it’s so good!
Thanks for the great videos during my difficult time with cancer and chemotherapy I get lost in playing guitar and watching your videos thanks
Rhett, you are always an amazing guitarist, and yet when you hit that fuzz, you’re playing is even further elevated, more inspired and inspiring! Thank you!
Thank you for the Floyd lick. It’s one of my favorites.
I’m such a fan of yours, man. You have an exceptional ability to understand guitar tone and how to achieve it. It’s not an easy thing. So many guitar players really struggle to understand how to carve out their sound.
DEFINITELY, the best demo of these four pedals so far! I watched the Josh (JHS) and the Andy (from Reverb) videos and you can tell how important a player's touch is to tone and their personal dynamics effect the pedals. THANK YOU RHETT!
“The cork snifferist of cork sniffing” best line ever! Also those pedals are killer!!
I was about to make the same comment... agreed!
BALL AND BISCUIT MY MAAAAAAN. Mental track.
Josh: How many legendary Fuzzes do you want?
Rhett: YES
I used to think I didn’t like fuzz and would never use as a guitarist, but I think since watching the JHS Show and your show in the last two years my opinion has definitely changed having learnt much more from both channels, now I think I’m a fuzz addict, now I love my fuzz and have to stop myself using to frequently and using my other overdrives or distortions, but yep I definitely think I was missing out not using fuzz before as I find it really creative now, I think learning about the history more from Josh has really taught me much more about it and how and how to use it musically and not just thinking it was an over the top effect. Thanks to Josh and also yourself Rhett for providing me with much more knowledge and being able to making a much more informed decision. Thanks Steve
He hates Germanium Transistors a lot, they're difficult to find, they're not abailable, that's the reazon he tells the people "don't say germanium is better" getting silicon transistors is easy and it coast around $0.15 each. The Smiley(fuzzface) uses 2, the other Bender uses 3, but a set of three germanium transistors for that pedal may cost $30! So, when Josh says "don't buy it only because it uses germanium" he is hating the pedal makers that use germanium transistors because they sound great, everybody from 40 to 60 knows this perfectly.
So stoked you mentioned the knob placement! I commented that on the JHS video and got torn a new one by the JHS community lol. But yeah, can't imagine one of these on my tight pedal board and actually be able to adjust settings mid gig.
The thing I love about fuzz is how it makes everything so powerful and thick
I like Paul Gilbert's idea about fixing the issue of moving knobs or lost adjustments... he puts rubber o rings under the knob which gives resistance to being bumped around
Or just use peace potis ✌️
As a died in the wool Englishman, i have to state as a categorical fact that Josh is the best person to ever have existed.
Knob gags will never, ever get old.
Remind me if i forget that the very next pedal i buy is a JHS :D
Bender + Firebird ... thats the sound for I started with guitar in first place ... Just WOW
These are awesome. The ability to have the iconic tones of classic pedals at a fair price! Great for the working players board!
Supreme, awsome. I so want one. I've wanted a univox Superfuzz for years but the price, omg. Chances I will buy one... 110%
I'm into that Fu Manchu vibe. Can't wait for them to land here in the UK.
Love the JHS pedals and been a subscriber of his channel for years too. Informative and funny, super cool guy.
Great stuff Rhett, you're a hell of a good player sir! Cheers :)
Man I bought a Sola Sound Tonebender like within a couple weeks of your video. It’s amazing sounding in person through my vintage amp! First time ever using a fuzz pedal. Hate I waited so long to incorporate it into my sound.
Well to start off I wanted to tell you Rhett that YOU have made me love and get into FUZZ. Before this video I wasn’t even considering it but I like your tone and the way Fuzz sounds on every video you have it in. Thanks. As for Josh from JHS. Outstanding series, you got something amazing here....to finish it off. I just got myself EHX Green Russian Big Muff Pi Fuzz. Awesome video too Rhett!
Was that Ball and Biscuit? My god, that tone is nasty. I love it.
Man, I’m so torn between the Bender and the Supreme. Either way one of them is coming to the house.
clayton franklin why not both, cut a few yards😜
Got the Bender. But if I didnt have an Isle of Tone Haze 67 (best fuzz pedal in the market) coming my way I would have gotten the Supreme too.
I’m getting the supreme just because I don’t own an octafuzz... that’s what I’m telling myself
KNOB WOOD !!! that man is pure genius
I looove these. I already have a fy6, a fuzz face clone, and a big muff pi copy. I will be digging into those tomorrow. Its 2:15 a.m. now, so gotta wait.
I see a lot of people struggle with the Bender and I'm not sure why. I think it's really easy to dial in a sound and it cleans up nicely on the volume knob too
Totally agree! Josh at JHS has a great channel with so much info on pedals. Plus, his sense of humor is nicely understated. :)
Hey Rhett, people subscribe to your channel because they like you for what you are, not what they want you to be. Keep being yourself and making videos! Love your content.
EZ knob fix - put a single line mark at top edge of box for each knob. Install a numbered on side knob marked 1 to 10.. You're welcomed.. I expect a large royalty check for the idea! LOL Josh's vid was standard Josh hilarious!
I LOVE Josh’s humour, it’s right up my alley. And I guess it’s the same for you since you included it in the video 😂❤
Great video! Your tones are killer! That riff in the beginning you should write a song with that riff. One minor correction. I’m 99% sure Jimmy Page used the 2 knob Mark 2 Tone Bender
Tell Josh I’ve met a few real pro knob knockers in my days. They can each knock any knob better, and in more ways, than anybody ever thought one’s knobs could be knocked.
Fuzz trivia: most of Jimi's Fuzz Faces actually contained Roger Mayer's Octavio fuzz circuit, modded to remove the octave part. I have an Octavio and recently did the mod. I also have a silicon JH "replica" Fuzz Face. I love both, but I think the modded Octavio actually sounds closer to Jimi's fuzz tone.
As I understand it, Jimi just really liked how the enclosure looked. Roger Mayer did most of his fuzz tones, he only used it stock for a short time. Even still, the fuzz face sounds damn cool.
Sniffs cork!
@@EpicStuffMan1000 Mayer says he didn't have the metalwork facilities to produce enclosures, but - thanks to Jimi - he DID have a pile of Fuzz Face cases...
@@PeteCarlton lol. It smells righteous. Here, have a sniff (passes cork). ;)
@@fishypaw Nah, pass it on!
Holy Christ that Intro song is awesome Rhett!!!! And even more awesome you are checking out JHS pedals I'm a big fan of Josh and his channel. And actually you and Josh has changed my mind and are about to start checking out Fuzz pedals again.
As per usual, very well done video. The music is indicative of the various fuzz sounds and your opinion is valued and duly noted.
Rhett I never really saw use for a fuzz pedal until I saw some of your videos. I really do like the JHS Bender and because of you I am getting one and trying it out!
Way cool, Rhett. Thank you very much for showcasing these - I really dig the vintage sounds, and the whole idea of bringing this stuff back to the masses. Cheers, dude!!
The intro alone deserved its own thumbs up! And unsurprisingly, all four demos sounded ace too. But! The Bender with the Strymon Deco just stumped me, it's a *killer* tone. Cheers
I love fuzz too. I grew up in the 60's and fell in love with that 60's fuzz sound. Love your channel, found you via Rick Beato.
Your fuzz journey got me really interested in octave fuzz, but ultimately it came down to the fact that I really just like an octave effect into a driven sound in general.
@ 5:10 LMFAO!! 'Ummmm I sourced those organically from a knob farmer'. Farking funny bugger is Josh - so good 👍🏼 😄 😀
Knobs should really have a ramped indicator painted around them.
Josh Scott is awesome! Such an inspiration to me.
It's been too long man! As someone who truly enjoys your musical intros....it's been too long. Thanks for the inspiration and as always, another great and informative vid. Looking forward to seeing you live. Keep it up, man.
Great review, complementing the intro video from Josh and the Reverb one. Your video shows a much more musical side of these, as I'd use them. Especially as a fuzz avoided, it makes me want a Bender.
Rhett you sure know how to squeeze the best sounds out of a fuzz pedal. I want them all!
What a great birthday present Rhett thank you, All of those fuzzes sounded AMAZING.
Great chanel. Got me a 62 GA-8 Discoverer after watching your Skylark episode. Left a comment at JHS about your fuzz knob fix. request.
I saw you, Bea, Andy and Josh demoing those pedals and I swear to god, they sound completely different in every demo.
Should be prove, that old school fuzz is very expressive and reactive pedal.
Hi, you forgot à big thing about Josh. Not only he has most of the pedals ever made, but in many instances HE HAS THE BOX. Worth mentioning I think.
Fuzz pedals are so cool! Sound awesome very much here. Great showcase!
I've never considered having fuzz on my pedal board but, after your review I'm thinking I may need some fuzz in my life. Great job!
Yeah,... the tone wood knob thing,... ROTFL.... Now Rhett, you be showing you are a "Young-dude" to have completely missed the "Big Muff" Black Sabbath connection!! I had the original Elctro-Harmonix Big Muff back 1974... It was instant orgasm.... I ran it through my Fender "Piggy-back" Blonde amp! Suddenly my strat was dangerous! Great video,... thanks for including Josh's hilarious "Knobwood" part... when the world gets back to normal and we can all start gigging again, please continue your "Working musician" series... I love that stuff!
That Mark I pedal is the SHIT! Seriously. Watching you over the past couple of years has DEFINITELY has help put gas on my Fuzz obsession fire. I just bought the Jesse Davies, King Tone Mini Fuzz Ge, which I must say is the BOMB! So, my Fuzz budget is blown for a while, but the Supreme will be mine SOON! Sounded so good with your Nova, damn!
Going to watch this post again, cause the jams were so sweet with Honey dripping FUZZ!!!!!!!
Great Vid. What they should do... Is leave the jacks and power where they are. And move the control knobs back to the top of the platform. Then........ you would have the perfect piece of gear.
Josh already came out with his MkIII Tone Bender couple of times. First the right side of the pedal Bunrunner then his Firefly Fuzz. AFAIK. Great video by the way, thanks Rhett.
Haha Josh is hilarious “I use knob wood”
Killer presentation of the fuzzes and their sound and application. This got me seriously interested in fuzz again.
Taste all vintage pedals with the correct germanium design stuff, you will appreciate the guitar's volume cleans up a lot. The 3 knob tonebender need a lot the 3 germanium transistor and the Ge diode, Fuzzface with germanium transistors is like to be in heaven!!, it's a browner sound. I don't recommend de JHS silicon versions. Regards
I think you have converted me into a Fuzz lover. I need to find the best first Fuzz pedal for me, though.
Love the Bonamassa Fuzz Face but don't want to spend that kind of money (they go for quite a bit now) and don't love the mini for some reason.
Am currently leaning toward the JHS Bender. Almost bought one from Makari's but those are super pricey too. Love their Smiley too, but I play Les Pauls a lot too and not just Strats or Telecasters.
I have beeeeeen waiting for a tone bender fuzz replica. I was considering the park fuzz but this has now changed my mind
That opening track was so damn good, brother!
simple solution for the knobs Use paint pens to put a rainbow color stripe on each side.that way you have more than just one single strip of color for location indication.....
the bender with the deco....holy...holy ....got lost in that...wow that is good... the deco i have had on my board for a while...that bender is going on now...your tone is always great!!
I'm hooked on that Smiley. That's got a gnarly bite to it. Also that strymon is a beaut. Thanks for the vid mate.
5:30 haunting mid knob. Knob wood is Morningwood the hardest wood known to man. Endless sustain. Well ok a few minutes
Morningwood is the best knobwood/tone wood.
Deyum! These series is oozing with much vintage vibe!🔥🔥🔥
Don’t change the knobwood, maybe a little more white on it or a wedge shape, fluorescent yellow on the bottom around to black 🧀. I love that blue slab of rough sewn wood with guitar parts attached to it.
Great video I definitely have fuzz in my ears now!!
Thanks Rhett, ⚓️ for the tool guys and amateur guitar & amp techs: ‘PAINT PENS’ just like Sharpie felt pens, but contain paint, in assorted colors. Admittedly cheap paint, but good enough to mark your knob. 😎
Thanks for bringing these to my attention .......never thought of it before but the very complex
top end adds to articulation and definition of some ranges of notes especially at lower gain
settings (Smiley on Strat) thanks for demoing this fine line .
Amazing! You played 'Ball & Biscuit'! Suits the Crimson really well, but I agree that the Supreme IS the supreme. Incredible sound from that circuit.
I’m happy to hear a good honest opinion about these!! I agree the knobs are a little iffy... I feel top knobs look like they will snap off 😬 I’m a huge FuzzFace fan.... but I have always wanted to try a tonebender.... I wish I could have seen how they react with the volume knob a bit, but other than that great reviews!!! Hopefully I can get back to work soon and save up for one before they sell out hahaha
There’s just something about a tone bender circuit that warms my soul every time I hear it. Still amazed he got the “germanium sound” from silicon transistors.
Well-played Black Keys and White Stripes, Rhett!
I think they all sound amazing, and each one is different enough from each other.
Hey Rhett! Love your vids. With a bright marker of some kind you could draw a spiral that wound up the knob. That way you could tell how high the setting is based on how high the line is. Just a thought. Keep up the good work!
Excellent Video 👍👍👍.
Amazing Pedals, Brilliant playing, thank you.
Take care,
Melbourne, Australia.
I have to buy at least one JHS pedal, for the weirdest reason. I love the dude's sense of humor. I love his TH-cam videos. I'm sure the pedals are great, which is a nice bonus.
Bought a Supreme today because of this video. Thanks, dude
Tones are amazing! Killer Demo Rhett!
I agree with Rhett that the knobs are hard to see but i do agree with Josh that they do look cooler. Way cooler than some of those older pedal knobs where the line drags down for you to see. I guess it becomes an issue of cool looking vs practicality.
You, Jhs, Living Room Gear Demos, and Reverb all made a video about these on the same day.
Its called "marketing". Do it too early, and the Manufacturer would b pissed, do it too late, you're missing the flavour du jour. So these drop always the same day, or very close to the same day.
You really had a ball and a biscuit with this one, and took your sweet little time about it!
That intro was killer.
That “Time” solo was very...very... 👌🔥. The smiley really brings that solo to life compared to other covers I’ve heard with different fuzzes
Yeah, the Supreme is the deal. Thought that watching Josh's demo and DETAILED descriptions and confirmed here. It is not just the octave, there is a more unique character to the fuzz decay. It just does not sound like a Fuzz Face, Tone Bender, or Big Muff.
Aewsome intro. That lead was so cool. Sound was awesome too!
You killed that intro tune! Golden touch...and ear.
Trust me Rhett, you definitely converted me to fuzzianity months ago.
Oh me too for sure 😂
same here! i bought a dod carcosa after barely hearing it bc i figured i needed a fuzz at some point because of rhett
Same, i hated fuzz but then he bought the tone bender and I loved fuzz more and more.
