Are you one of the many guitarists who’ve helped push these pedals into the top-seller top spots? Let us know which pedals on the list you currently own and which are destined for your pedalboard. Shop the whole list here 👉 imp.i114863.net/KebLOv
@Sweetwater - can you put the list on the website? Looks like the link just goes to all pedals
Did Josh accept payment in pedals?
I’ve got an OCD, Soul Food, and Rv-6
I own: EH LPB-1, Boss- OD-3, Dan-O TalkBack Delay (new version), JHS Bonsi, Cry Baby Wah (pre 90s) and Behringer Fuzz. Most of my pedals are behringer or dan-o (complete food series, working on the 2nd set) and other cheap pedals. Josh has taught me all pedals are good pedals and that they deserve to be wanted.
This "flocking" stuff is applied to t-shirts. I'd look in custom textile production for possible solutions. \o Josh...
Shoutout to the editor who parsed through the 763 hours of footage of Josh talking about these pedals
😂👍
🤣🤣
Bruh💀
He said he had to eat dinner later and I was thinking... Yeah, good luck with that.
Thank you for finding the nice way to say this.
I can't believe I just watched a full length feature film of Josh Scott sitting at a desk talking about pedals.
V no bc

I hope Josh understands how much guitarist around the globe appreciate him, he’s not just a great pedal builder and a human encyclopedia. He’s also one of the nicest dudes on planet earth.
He make fun of hand pedal makers that use germanium transistors, cause according to him they don't work.
Bro get over yourself, and I recommend therapy urgently for you Sir.
His encyclopedic knowledge blew me away!
He's also just funny :D
@@saculsheet
Pretty sure he never said that, what he did say is you don't need germanium to get a good fuzz tone.
"His is better!"
Praising competition, specially someone who is currently in business: 100^10000 respect points earned instantly!
Josh has already reached legendary status in the guitar world.
His embrace of the entire pedal world and not just his own company is a major reason
Get off your knees
Hes funny too
True.
Josh is the ONLY guy that could make this video - where I would (did) watch the entire thing, smile often, and be truly glad about it.
I totally agree! He's so informative and fucking hilarious!
True that!
Brian Wampler as well. In fact I'd love to see those two guys doing this together. May never get all the way through 10 pedals, but it would be entertaining as hell
@@williemurray2523 I just like saying "Wampler", so for that alone, it would be amazing!
Andy's the only other person I could imagine doing it, and same deal, everyone would watch him too.
I don't even play guitar, but I love watching Josh talk about everything dripping with sarcasm. ...I could listen to him talk about grass growing and it'd be entertaining.
I wish all business owners could be as civil and friendly to their contemporaries/competition in an industry and yet not act competitive. You are a class act Mr Scott.
I would listen to a weekly podcast where Josh goes through the entire list of 1000 ten pedals at a time
Where does Josh buy his coffee?
Same here!
There is something oddly soothing about his delivery- even when he is telling me to be ashamed I don’t own an obscure pedal
Monday chats, close every episode with 10 more.
@@mattraino3274 It's the dry sarcasm.
Sweetwater: "Hey people like watching Josh Scott talk about pedals for some reason, let's export our entire Salesforce and have him read it on camera."
Worked. This is awesome
It is disgusting what happened to America. All industries have virtually eliminated sales teams for a website. No wonder people are so angry and divisive. So few jobs besides specific degrees or service work.
Oh how I wish it was Salesforce! If you're reading this and you know what 4D is, I'm sorry.
@@rustikinc63 uh...WTF are you talking about? Sweetwater has the best sales team anywhere online. Every tech company has a sales org, and many of them don't require a degree.
Shout out to my sales engineer Chris Kress! Reaches out every order.
Josh is probably one of the few people who can get a non-guitarist to watch 90 minutes of guitar pedal info - and be completely entertained the whole way through. Tech + Encyclopaedia + History + Engineer + Musician = Awesome!
(and based on his commentary about number 1 and my interest in the entire video - a fantastic salesperson as well... LOL) Great video!
true.. im a drummer. i dont knnow how i got here, but i like it
He derailed completely at the Soul Food "explanation" of the pedal's name and that's why we love Josh haha
Sometimes every few months Josh just does something insane.
And I love it.
And the fact that he knows everyone
i'd say that about all of his videos
I would like watch Josh talk about all 500. Even better, He should weekly series of his library ..;.”What Makes this Pedal Great?” He can do video shorts, at one pedal per day , he should complete the series in about 12 years….
@@rikkousa it will never be complete because he buys more than he could show us lol
@@rikkousa 😂
I'm a simple man. I see Josh in the thumbnail, I click.
Brilliant marketing Sweetwater, I now have about 18 pedals I MUST HAVE!!! Thanks Josh, that was amazing.
This should be stored in the all time archive of musical knowledge, so it shall be always accessible for everyone and never forgotten ever after.
We need an all time archive of musical knowledge.
And the Platons and Archimedeses of it will be Josh, Rick (Beato), etc etc
I wholeheartedly believe Josh actually recorded his thoughts on all 1000 but this is just the short cut 🤪
Was thinking the same thing. At least all 510.
Yeah, there should be a director's cut with the whole thing 😅
I actually didnt care to know what #9-#2 was. Why would anyone want to hear the complete top ten list. The editors are amazing. I love the mystery of never knowing the top ten.
I basically just listened to Josh Scott do inventory and I couldn't be happier.
We demand a part 2 of this. I want to see what is in between 1000 - 511
6:04 fun little story here: about 6 years ago I practiced with my band in the same rehearsal space that Built to Spill used at that time (I live in Boise). BTS being one of our favorite bands we would often geek out over what gear they were using. At the time, Doug’s pedal chain consisted of 3 ep boosts in a row, followed by a vintage memory man into a fender bassman. Basically, and this is fitting with BTS’s guitar sound, huge, Huger, HUGEST. So if you were wondering where all the ep boosts went, ask Doug Martsch (hands down one of the sweetest dudes in the music business).
Pretty much a JHS episode under the Sweetwater TH-cam channel. Love it.
Just needs Nick yelling at him in the background.
49:15 when Josh talks about how the delay went from DD3 to DD5, it made me smile because I lived in Japan for 4 years during my Air Force days. The number 4 is pronounced し(shi but sounds like she). The word 死んだ(shin da) means death. The Japanese have even created an alternate pronunciation of 4 よん(yon). I even started feeling superstitious of 4 after being there for 4 years.
I just wanted to write this comment! They also always try to skip the number 4 in lots of things like floors in a building, hospital and hotel rooms, ect. It's like a cultural superstition and a really unlucky number unfortunately 💀
Good info! Did he say that there WAS a model 4 of at least one of the pedal series??
@@douchecraft3113 Yes. The only model I know of with a 4 is the Boss PQ-4.
@@douchecraft3113 yep. PQ-4 Parametric Equalizer
This is a somewhat incorrect characterization. 「死んだ」in Japanese is a past tense conjugation of 「死ぬ」。Also, it's not really accurate to say that the Japanese have created an alternate pronunciation of 四。Japanese existed as a language prior to the adoption of Chinese characters. The "shi" reading of 四 is the Chinese reading. The native Japanese word for "4" was always "yo(n)".
Josh is brilliant! He knows his history, he knows what works and why it works...and he is super clever in his delivery of information. Great choice to deliver this video sweetwater.
If this hasn’t been mentioned yet with regard to the “El Capistan”
It’s named after a tape machine part!
“What is capstan on tape player?
The capstan is a rotating spindle used to move recording tape through the mechanism of a tape recorder. The tape is threaded between the capstan and one or more rubber-covered wheels, called pinch rollers, which press against the capstan, thus providing friction necessary for the capstan to pull the tape.”
Blended with El Capitan in Yosemite - renowned for its huge wall. Probably suggesting a wall of tape delayed sound.
Props Sweetwater for not editing this and letting Josh be this badass.
3 editors died to bring this down to its current runtime.
Absolutely love Josh. His humor. His honesty. His respect for the other builders. Nothing but love for the guy!
I concur!
Nobody gets me as excited about pedals as Josh. The stories he has about every pedals are great. I also love how he features both high end and cheap pedals, and holds them to the same pedigree.
It was also so weird seeing Josh pick up boxes *and not* hearing “he has the box”!
In Japanese, the number 4 is "shi" which is also the reading for the Kanji for "death", so sometimes the number 4 is skipped over because of that connotation. Boss is a Japanese company. So, now you know why Boss only has one model with "4" in it.
Thanks.
Was going to comment this,
The parent company Roland also have a similar thing with model numbers - the whole x0x nomenclature for drum machines/synths/samplers etc misses out 404. I guess the doubling up of 4 really would have been too much. They have a few very notable exceptions, namely the Jupiter 4, the newer sh-4d (where the original analogue synths went sh1, 2, 3, 5,) and then they did produce a Vdrum TD-4 module. Those last 2 are both much more recent pieces of gear though, so perhaps the current generation are less superstitious.
Interestingly Korg have a!so sidestepped using 4 in their Kaoss Pad range. They had the KP1, KP2, KP3 and then their fourth incarnation was a play on the fact it used 4 effects in series so they called it the KPQuad, so it's kind of a KP4 without writing a number 4 on there.
This is THE MOST entertaining, educational guitar pedal review/countdown ever! I'm watching this at 6 in the morning here in Malaysia and it's so GOOD! Mr Josh is like a walking guitar pedal Wiki!
@@RaymondGinn1978
Hahaha!🤣Go back...you've missed a LOT!
God I love Josh. He's probably the main reason I started building pedals myself. The love and positivity he radiates towards any and all things pedals, history and music is incredibly infectious.
I'm always amazed how you value and showcases all the brands despite you having your own. Your passion is really beautiful to watch.
Okay I'm 38 minutes in so far, and gonna watch the rest. This could have easily been a total slog, but your little snippets and jokes and details are so fantastic, it's been a blast throughout. It's very, very hard to carry such a long video and remain entertaining, but you're pulling it off! This is seriously well-written and well-edited. Thanks!
EDIT: Here at the end, you kept it excellent throughout! This video is so great if I lived in KC I'd actually try to get a job at your company. Because all the details and info and cleverness has got to help foster a fantastic working environment. So again Mr Scott, thank you, I've added this to my "guitar playing" playlist for reference, and I appreciate you making my Thursday much more entertianing. Tootles!
I sped the video up and watched it in half the ⏲️ time!
Josh is one of the smartest, funniest, most talented and entertaining guys on TH-cam. I love his JHS channel!
I love Josh Scott as a repository of knowledge and a fountain of passion for guitar pedals. I love that he shares it with us all. - JHS Bonsi is my newest and favorite pedal.
Sweetwater: If Josh Scott endorses you that is good enough for me. GC/MF are in the backseat now.
That's a killer pedal
Spending money on one Bonsai has saved myself from spending much more money in the future. Thanks Josh for saving me from myself.
Is it as good as a real ts? I thought about getting it but have no way to test it first. I like the idea of getting to try dif models as long as it sounds as good as they do.
@@bojangles6444 I would bet you several hundred dollars that in a blindfolded shoot out, you'd not be able to notice a difference if I A & B'd all 9 ts models with their counter parts on the bonsai.
It's literally the same circuit for each and they sound the exact same, I bought it because it's cheaper than a ts10 but it has 8 other options in it on top of that.
Andertons did a video where they blindfolded rob Chapman and he thought he was playing 9 different tube screamers.
So yes, buy it.
It’s cool to see the guitarist in nick’s band getting some attention
Josh is one of the best people of all time. Smart, funny, kind… and that whole encyclopedic-guitar-pedal knowledge is amazing.
Josh is the best. Being who he is makes me want to buy JHS pedals to support his company.
Even as a synth player this was one of the most interesting 1.5 hrs I’ve spent. Josh is a well of knowledge!
This is an insane but wonderful idea for a video. Kudos to Josh for pulling it off, and kudos to Sweetwater for green lighting what is objectively an absurd piece of content. Well done, I'm here for it.
I got out of bed this morning and I thought to myself "Hey mate, I know what." "What?" I asked. Graciously and politely I answered "Why don't I begin my day with a nice cup of hot coffee made just the way I like it and watch Josh Scott rabbit on for 1 hour 33 minutes and 1 second about guitar pedals that I may or my not wish to purchase?" I thought to myself "That's a really good idea mate, do it." and I did and then gave the video a thumbs up while pondering why boss does not have a dd-4 or rv-4 pedal.
Welp, just added a few pedals to my bucket list. I happen to love Josh's droll and sardonic sense of humor 😄
This is surprisingly insane even for Josh.
The short-demos of the pedals get an assist here.
Josh is awesome.
This video was amazing. First time I have listened to Josh, so funny and well informed. Couldn’t stop watching. I just love listening to anyone who is passionate and knowledgable. Gets my musical juices going. Thanks for this!!! I think I could have genuinely listened to all 1,000.
They chose the most apt person to do this episode! loved it.
I had to sit all the way through this great entertainment. The reason ehx just keeps selling it’s just because they make everything and everything they make sounds amazing. Great prices, great looks, great history.
What a great video! Thanks to Josh for the humor and history lessons, and thanks to Sweetwater for what must have been a colossal editing job. What fun!
Truly enjoyed this video. Always great to hear and learn from Josh. I think he needs to be on television, I can see him in a sitcom. Cool sense of humor. All in all, great video! 🙏🏼
the best video in the history of Sweetwater's youtube channel
I surprised myself by watching the whole episode - Josh is a a star and somehow he makes a show just about lots and lots of pedals so engaging…! And he is so humble despite making so many star products. Honestly not usually my thing, but then 1.5 hrs later…I’ve watched it all…wow.
This is insane, incredible and already one of my favourite videos about guitar pedals ever.
Today I'm so happy- because I figured out how to use my new Blackstar tube amp properly. I bought it about a week ago or so- spent the last seven days telling everyone "Oh yeah, it's awesome, I love it..." secretly thinking "Oh shit, I think a messed up..." because I could get amazing clean tones- any I wanted, but I could not make an overdrive or distortion pedal sound right no matter what I did. At first, I thought it was just the pedal- some pedals don't play well with all amps- but then it was every pedal I had. You could tweak a few and get them to a useable state but, that was about the best you could hope for and most- weren't useable, that bad. Finally- I put the drive in the fx loop- which is a big "no, no" on my prior amp- but it's exactly what the doctor ordered for this one- sounds amazing now. I'm so relieved- I seriously was starting to think maybe I had bought a bad amp or something. Turns out, it just won't tolerate compression in front of the preamp- not even a drive pedal. If I put a compressor up front- same thing, sounds awful, can't use it. Put it in the loop- sounds great.
The JHS 3 Series Chorus sounds awesome. Happy to have it on my board. Pretty versatile too with that vibe switch
Josh, this was one of the most entertaining, while, at the same time interesting and informative, guitar related video's I've watched in ages. Great job!
I have an older version of the Line 6 floor pod and absolutely love it. It is so versatile, a little overwhelming to use at first, but once you understand how to set it up, it is amazing.
"we literally went from leave it to beaver in 1962 to people on acid in the mud in 69 - the fuzz pedal kind of did that" - Profound statement of the century my friend!!!!!!!!!
thanks for this! Josh's knowledge is part of the reason why I want to have as many JHS pedals as I possibly can: to help share these stories. That and their amazing sound, of course
Josh is just an awesome human who loves all things pedals but more importantly the people that made them…Well done 👏👏👏
There are some videos where even if I don’t care about what the person is presenting, I’ll watch them just because you can tell how passionate the person is about the subject. This checks every single box of that. Well done, Josh.
What a great video -- I actually fell asleep in the middle, woke up at number 12, and it was all fantastic.
Fantastic to call asleep too... and fantastic to wake up to.
I play it on repeat when I’m sleeping 😊
Josh is such a cool dude. I’ve learned soo much about pedals from him. Plus his company makes great stuff.
I'm very happy with the JHS 3 Series Flanger, Compressor, Screamer Phaser, Chorus, Overdrive, Hall Reverb, and Delay Pedals on my first ever pedalboard.
Beautiful playing Uncle Larry! A great example of the beauty in playing great chord progressions, as you’ve mentioned several times in the past. I appreciate you greatly, and I share your nuggets of wisdom with my guitar students frequently. Rock on brother!
I just watched the Ben Hur of TH-cam guitar pedal videos and i want more. Josh is the king.
I’ve grown to really love EHX this past year. I’ve gotten the Glove OD which does a great rock sound. And I really love their Octavix octave fuzz. Sounds very vintage and doesn’t go way over the top like some octave fuzzes do.
I have to say Josh, I simply love your sense of humour 😂 I not only leaned a lot about pedal history and circuits through the whole video, but laughed like never before. Congrats and don’t change!
Thank you so much for this presentation Josh, and thank you Sweetwater for creating this amazing content! Very involved discussion of the history of these pedals, plus some really fun anecdotes. We love it!
I loved every second of this. MORE JOSH TALKING HISTORY OF PEDALS AND PEDAL LOVE. 🤘😌🎸💜
Go to the JHS Pedals channel. You can find an endless amount of content like this there.
Like @@ostkorvification stated..."endless."
Josh, You use the Morning Glory as an always on pedal. A lot of people do. It's great for that.
So can you make a version with a dip switch somewhere that puts the pedal in an always on setting so that the foot switch acts as the gain toggle rather than as a bypass switch?
Hope you somehow see this. Thank you.
This is a great idea that would work with a lot of overdrives.
@@RichCochrane The Boss Angry Driver follows a similar concept
Red remote?
What about a two switch double pedal? One for gain, one for the always on tone. Maybe Separate EQs? Although that’s close to the Double Barrel.
Yup, I am one of those people I can't say enough good things about the JHS Kilt. Single cols and humbuckers alike, through my Fender amps I get a phenomenal overdrive sound, and versatile. It has remained on my board since I bought it years ago. Awesome pedal, Josh!
Don't worry Sweetwater-you may not have added the "he has the box" jingle, but it plays in my head automatically whenever Josh says those magical words
Josh has an awesome personality to sit and listen to
This is off the cuff. It's honest and it's inspiring. I love how this industry, effects pedal Co's., rave on their own competitors because they know good tone when they hear it and great design when they see it. It feels unique to have that kind of admiration among a SEA of metal boxes.
Josh Scott has certainly helped lead the charge. Also, Record Time is an underrated segment.
I think Brian Wampler has made the best overdrive pedal I've ever heard. The 57' Tweed. Really need a Plexi-drive.
Here I am...5 am on a Sunday, drinking coffee and watching 90 minutes of Josh talk pedals and drop knowledge.... I am Entertained...
Josh is my favorite pedal guy by far. His love of it is infectious. He's just like cool stuff. Doesn't care who makes it. What the crowd says etc. Just likes cool sounds and cool aesthetics
Cool video! Josh is a great presenter of the history of this pedals. Do some more colaboration with Josh on the same topic, but more detailed, like the most selling delay pedals from Sweetwater or modulation pedals, distortion etc.
How does Josh know so much, amazing, insane, love of pedals ! Entertaining!
I do not currently own but I have owned and used a DS-1 and a CE-2 (along with about 10 other Boss pedals in the 80s). They were on my home made board for years until I moved on to rack stuff in the late 80s early 90s. Now I enjoy them in my HX FX with analog boutique overdrives (one is a JHS ;) in 4 CM in a tube amp. Far cry from my old board with all those Boss pedals in series into my old Roland JC-120 ;) That was still a glorious sound!
@1:23:43, I love to hear stories about finding gems in the used sections of stores, like you finding the "long dash" DS-1. I stumbled on a gen 1 Alesis Microverb, in my local Goodwill, for 10 bucks, found a pwr. supply on eBay for $5 and have used it on my pedal board for years.
The coffee scale josh uses never gets old, finally we have a system to measure everything accurately
Josh Scott has turned me on to soooo many things but the Behringer Super Fuzz has been a known sleeper pedal since it came out. I remember being told about it in like 2009.
I have one of the first 100 Kilts v1. Its on my board and has never come off. It’s absolutely amazing!!!!
I'll stop flooding the chat but, there's something magic about that first time you activated the 'Vibrato' on a Twin. The rest of our lives, trying 'Vibratos', goes back to trying to get back in time and live that moment again, (but now, with a critical listening), so there's a huge High-way for people searching for the right Vibrato.
This is an amazing video, thanks for doing this (to all involved)! I was entertained and educated! Also, I found some pedals I now “need”. First up will be a JHS Emperor (I am a Arion chorus user).
I have an original boss metal zone pedal and I love it, I use the distortion low and run it with a TS9. The Boss pedal eq is amazing and I get a good midrange crunch with the TS9 and Metal Zone.
Screamer into metalzone into power amp is a monster sound
Just assembling such a fantastic collection is hard core, but presenting all this in a non-stop video, this is like visiting the ultimate museum with the ultimate curator. Very much appreciate all of the detail minutia about these various devices, who created and why . . . never thought pedal lore could be this deep! I have the original Line 6 DL4, it really is the absolute best of its type, comparable perhaps to the Mooer Ocean Machine. Actually had an original Foxx phaser pedal (with the red "flocking"?), sold it to a serious fanatic in Australia.
Love Josh! He can tell you anything about a pedal or amp but had no idea of who makes the Prius. Genius! #musicalprodigy 🙏🤘🎸
If you made a full version of it, I would watch it. You're the highest priority to watch on TH-cam. ✊🏽😍
@Christie Malry Audiobooks It's ok. Great to watch to feed our curiosity. It's like watching football, not all attendees are players or own anything with football. It's great to watch as a fan. 😃
The Tech 21 Sans Amp GT2 was released in 1993, the Sans Amp Classic in 1989, so the Sans Amp Classic was the first amp/cab simulator. Kurt Cobain also used the Sans Amp Classic, not the GT2. Have a nice day pedal lovers!
So good! Loved this. So now I want the "Director's Cut" in which Josh reviews all one thousand of the pedals on the list. I'll watch it in one sitting (though I'd skip the looper pedals). The JHS Bender is an absolute killer. My desert island effects pedal -- if I was forced to only keep one from my whole collection I'd choose this one -- I love its look, and the sound totally rips your head off. The 3 Series Reverb -- and its recent companion, the Hall Reverb -- are phenomenal as well. And affordable!
Was surprised by #1. I own one, thanks to Josh, and it's okay. I've used it on a recording that's been released, but it's been back in a drawer ever since.
The special cranker is coming for that #1 spot. Best pedal i have ever bought for the price. Absolute GEM
I think the one thing that Boss could have done with the Waza lineup that would have made sense to break from the original, would have been top mount jacks.
Yes. Could have kept the same exterior form factor.
@@CG-rf6nu I mean, whatever you're into man. 😂
The point was to remake the classic Japanese analog pedals not to redesign them.
When Josh is in a vid u know the vid is gold❤
I literally just bought a Behringer fuzz pedal yesterday, and then this video was uploaded lol. It's going to be my very first guitar pedal, and the first thing I'm gonna do when it arrives is play Electric Wizard! I plan on starting a pedal collection like JHS, so and I'm really looking forward to that. Love you Sweetwater!
Little personal story about the T.C Electronics Arena Reverb (probably just like the Hall of Fame). I ran sound for a church for 3 years. I used the Arena Reverb guitar pedal as the main vocal reverb at the PA. On more than one occasion, I brought in replacement reverb units only to find that nothing sounded as good as the T.C. Electronics Arena Reverb guitar pedal. I brought in a Lexicon PCM 60, a higher cost guitar reverb pedal, a rack mount Rolland M-30. The tone wasn't as good as the Arena Reverb. When that church disbanded, I made sure I purchased a second Arena Reverb, and all the audio gear we used up to the amps & rack gear on stage. It sounded so good that I made sure I could duplicate the sound at any time in the future.
This is such a great service to the pedal community. Josh is awesome!!
Hilarious! Thanks Josh for taking the time to share your nerdiness!
Exceptional video. Thank you, Sweetwater and Josh.
