Wah pedal for me of course
Crazy history of how we have the foot control wahs we have today
I'd like to put a controversial vote in for graphic or parametric EQ. Tone shaping be powerful.
reverb!
Flanger
Guitar? Chorus. Bass? Compression
Josh: "This is the Complete History of Guitar Effects", then proceeds to give a masterclass of electric amplification in the music industry. What a legend.
Love it. Back history
Josh really cares and puts effort into everything he does and it shows
Josh is my favorite Music history teacher.
I need part 2, and more! Please sweetwater, I couldn't sleep till it happens
Still desperately and eagerly awaiting part 2, 6 months later. This video was so incredibly good. Honestly one of my all time favorites.
This is such an incredibly valuable history lesson! Thank you, Josh! Thank you, Sweetwater!
This is one of the greatest, well paced lesson of all time. Josh you are an amazing part of the guitar community. Thank you!!!so much Wow
Hey Josh, Pulp Fiction featured ‘Miserlou’ not Kill Bill! Great history, had no idea spring reverb was developed for the organ!
Dang, can't wait for part 2! Fascinating history lesson
Josh is a national treasure!
Thank you 🙏 thank you Josh
It is not only an important history lesson. It is always a pleasure to be with you sharing your love for these topics.
After 45 years of playing guitar, this was the most simple to understand history of the technology of guitar amplification. Nice work Josh! You should like make pedals too, I bet they would rock😏😆😆
I remember as a kid stringing a wire attached between trees to listen to am radio. Fast forward to 1982-1986, IC 386 amplifier chip were in mass production. Computer memory was in its infancy and was in 4 mb and 8 mb options. Technology grew rapidly after.
My friend showed me how to build my 1st guitar pedal using that 386 IC
Amazing first part. Can't wait for the rest. I love how he's not rushing through the important precursors. Nice work getting Josh on this
8:34 I think you mean Pulp Fiction, though most people watching this have probably heard Misirlou even if they haven't seen any Tarantino movies.
glad i wasnt the only film nerd who caught that
Ive watched all the old JHS and a lot of That Pedal Show's episodes, amongst many other top tier creators, and somehow found out things i never knew by watching this. Bravo 👏 👏 👏
Thank you! I'm happy that you told the story of LOUD here, I'd love you to highlight the relationships between synths and pedals (which goes both ways of course), and personally speaking while univibe is amazing, I'm fascinated by how long it took to emulate a literal Leslie sound (affordable product), rather than Leslie adjacent. Seems like that Leslie sound was amazingly complex for a spinning cone. Also shout out to Lexicon, plate reverb, and studio effects in general!
At 8:33 Josh meant Pulp Fiction. Not Kill Bill. The latter featured the awesome Japanese garage rock band The 5.6,7,8s. Anyhow.. annoying nerdy correction over.
Indeed! Good thing this wasn’t a video on movie soundtrack history
This is so awesome. Thank you Josh and Sweetwater! I forwarded this to all my guitar nerd friends. I think it’s mandatory viewing.
Thanks Josh and Sweetwater! Looking forward to part 2. Peace
when I read the title , and know of Josh Scotts work, then the idea of "Josh Scott Presents: The Complete History of Guitar Effects | Part 78" doesn't seem unlikely at all.
Good luck to Sweetwater reigning this one in (it'll all be great by the way).
I don't think this could have been better presented, can't wait for the rest of the episodes!
Josh: great video. Worth dropping what I was doing to find this and watch. Sweetwater: Thanks for sponsoring this and making it happen. I'm a Sweetwater and JHS customer, always enjoyed the channel content of both - but this is something special.
Great stuff from Josh; he’s a natural teacher. 👏👏👏
I love hearing history of how this all came about. How people stumble on to something accidentally and create products. How an industry comes from creativity and the evolution of technology, and solving problems from the era that was witness to these issues. These stories and accounts of history are important for our future. I’m excited to learn more and more and look forward to the next series of videos. Thank you so much. Happy holidays…
🎶❤🎵you're the professor of electric guitar&effects history, master Josh😊🎓love your lessons‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😀💚🤟🏼
Thanks Josh and Sweetwater!!
I like the idea of exploring more of the "Found" effects like overdrive and how microphones come into play with it all.
Great job on this first installment!!!
What I really appreciate about Josh is that he is a regular guy. Not a snob just an ordinary guy who plays excellent guitar and makes great pedals keeping it real for n the real world. Thank you SWEETWATER!
AMAZING!!! Part 2!!!
Great work, as expected. Thanks to everyone involved.
This is terrific, really well-researched and presented, great work Josh and Sweetwater!
Terrific presentation Josh - informative, thorough and interesting. Can't wait for part 2
My friend just started playing with guitar and fx for the first time tonight and this just dropped. 🥰
Thank you for the video, Josh! It's awesome. Looking forward for other parts.
Josh, always informative and humorous in the best way. Love the history lesson and look forward to more.
8:01 Hammond spring reverb box to add ambience 21:10 "adjacent possible": evolutionary change
Brilliant down to earth topic Josh. Thanks. For me Delay has always been my favourite effect.
Thanks Josh for putting together this series.
This History stuff is my favourite part of your JHS content. It really helped me get up to speed after a 40 year break from Electric Guitar.
I have shared this with some friends that often don't understand my Electric Guitar/Effects related posts.
Cheers
Pete
I love love love this so much. So excited to watch the rest of this series, great to see a really historically thorough and diligent analysis of this topic from someone so knowledgeable.
I loved this, can’t wait for more episodes. The part about Clapton, Page, Beck, John and Paul growing up listening to distorted Fender amps setting the stage for Rock and Roll was fascinating. An episode focusing on how that sound evolved would be interesting.
Awesome!! Can’t wait ‘til the next episode!
I'm really glad you emphasized the need for loud, it's so critical to the entire process, nobody would start messing with the signal if nobody could actually hear it in the room. Great work, looking forward to the rest.
Thanks Josh, History is so important and helps inspire a new generation of musicians, and even the ole crusty ones!!! Thanks again for your insight to possibly the most wonderful and life changing musical instrument ever!!!??? Looking forward to the next episode...........
Thanks so much for sharing this history with all us guitar players.I have all the standard guitar effects on my pedal board but the one pedal I cannot live without is overdrive/distortion because of the wonderful harmonics that it adds and the natural compression so that I can switch from playing chords to soloing without too much change in volume.
This is one of the BEST lectures I have ever heard - concise, loaded with information, well-delivered. Josh, you should consider teaching a course on music amplification. Flat out terrific! MORE!
This was awesome, it felt like I was sitting in one of my college lectures in the best way possible! Can't wait for more episodes!
Josh, you are such a talented teacher and story teller.
This will be a great series. Players need to know where sound came from, how it evolved.
Cheers , looking forward to more videos in this series
Very much anticipating part 2!
Love this stuff. So glad to see Josh teaching effects history again. This was always my favorite JHS content, much better than random demos or trolling.
Fantastic to see this here. I had the pleasure of seeing Josh give a similar presentation at Fretboard Summit 2022 in Chicago.
As I told him: I’ve learned more about guitar effects (my actual word was pedals) from Josh than from any other source.
I made that comment at the top of the video. This is MUCH more detailed than the presentation I saw. I can’t recommend Josh’s history lesson enough. I can’t wait for the rest of the story.
Great work, Josh! 🤘
Wow, Josh Scott your the best teacher with the best history lesson I've ever heard. Epic🏆🥇. Delay is my favorite invention and effect.
Looking forward to the next episode!!
Absolutely floored with how unbelievably informative and consice this was. I'm already insanely excited for part 2 to drop! Josh is an absolute legend and inspiration! ^_^
This was so interesting. Can't wait for the next one!!
Josh amazing as always!!
I thoroughly enjoyed that, looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks Josh😊
EXCELLENT video. Loved this!
I'm loving this. Thanks, Josh!
Thank you, Josh. It’s interesting how people who don’t like history really appreciate it once they become guitarists.
Great start!
Incredible. Well written and delivered. Great work good piece to save! Thanks
This is going to be awesome!! You are the man Josh!!
we need part 2 already!
I am weirdly obsessed with knowing the base circuit that pedals are made from. That’s always fascinating to me. So like a Rat or Klon Centaur that spawn a ton of clones, things like that, but to know the starting blocks and their tree of offspring would be great to explore, like a guitar pedal coaching tree if you will
Superb presentation.
nicely done man. You kept it interesting.
Good stuff. Looking forward to more.
This is brilliant🎉
Thanks Josh, very enjoyable.
Josh You Sound Like You Know What Youre Talking About Because You Do.. Its Great to Hear Your Aouthorative Perspectives... Cheers AAA
Looking forward to Guitar Effects Part 2!
Loved this❤
Excellent stuff!
How can someone sitting in front of the singular most boring background be so captivating. Ladies and gentlemen...Josh Heath Scott!!!! Thank you Sir for your tireless dedication to making perhaps the greatest contributions to modern music history more approachable to kooks like me. ENCORE!!!
This is brilliant
Love this, thank you!
As for my pedal board or if I were to look back at what I started out with as my guitar rig developed. Overdrive or distortion and boosting the volume have always been priority one through the years. From there wah and chorus. Now I’ve recently, like the past twenty years or so incorporated delay and more delay along with modulation but of course loud is still priority one and I don’t see that changing at all. I’m old school and have not embraced the advanced technology so much. Mostly because that new stuff is expensive and becomes outdated the day after being released. Though I do have a couple of modeling amps that the prices didn’t have the greed factor built in. lol really I was in the right place at the right time. They had discounted the discount and I got a great deal. Happy holidays…
THANKS for the rich History of Guitar effects/ amps plus pedals
Looking forward to watching this entire series. The history of music is interesting, and electric guitars and effects play a big role in that. Can you spend some time talking about "Rack Mounted" Effects and their relationship to Pedal Effects? Who's got the best sounding gear solutions is always a topic of lively debate, and understanding Rack Mounted gear in context might shed some light on what's happening now with Analog Amps and Effects, and Modelers and Plugins. Thanks
Amazing. So psyched that Josh is OCD interested in this history. THANK YOU for sharing it 🤩
Amazing!!!❤❤
I love videos like this!!! Thank you!!!
Super history lesson.
Wow - super interesting ! Great presentation of the topic.
No one has the legendary history of Mike Mathews and Electro harmonix..
i mean, i have alot of it.
@@DanielDangerTMEno u don't. No one does
Josh man, this has to be a book. Please think about it. Something solid, permanent, as reference.
Excellent vid. Would love to hear more about the tube to transistor transition!
Awesome show as usual. Reverb is a must. A history of strings and pics would be nice.
Awesome video.
First well-used voice amplification device: megaphone. First guitar with built-in amplification: resonator guitar.
Gold dust cheers mate ❤
That was an awesome look into the past!!! The only big thing that you missed in the timeline was the pick-up!!! Thanks for the interview!!!
It got a brief mention but it does not really fall into the remit of this series as the pickup is not a 'guitar effect'.
That said I do think that another series on the evolution of the guitar, and thus including pickups, would be a great idea! How about it Sweetwater?
Great history lesson. Thanks 😎🤓
Been seeing a question lately that's "What's your favorite event in history?" and I keep thinking- no moment is isolated, exists in a vacuum. I've heard Josh talk on the adjacent possible when he was doing his Monday videos.
Josh, you’re just the coolest man. I was aleady a big fan but this is absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much for this
Rotary effects that ramp up and down and/or have a "brake" are pretty cool.
Those 70s Morley "Power Wah Fuzz" are interesting as well.
