It hurts enough watching this without being able to participate. Should my heath problems ever fucking relent, I will take Kevin Smith's advice and make what I want to watch.
Years have passed. I declare this the most comprehensive and informative video on the history and functionality/dynamics or distortion/od of all time. You guys slay and Josh is the man
As somebody who studied electronics at university, it's interesting to see how Josh distills the history and presents it in layman's terms in the context of pedals. 👍🏻
Man I'm way behind, I only have 2, with a fuzz on the way and two distinct drive modes on my amp. So basically 5 options total for gain. I need to hit Reverb and start shoppin'...
Mick! You always do such an amazing job of facilitating a discussion and filling in the blanks to give listener a fuller picture. You are super attentive to the ears of the audience and I just love that!! Thanks, Jordan
Thank you kindly! Years of being a journalist I guess. And doing magazines. Always put the reader first. (Until a giant corporation decides it cares more about its shareholders than its readers, but hey, that’s another story. :0) Thanks for watching!
@@elonmush4793 To me, it has more to do with Oxford and Cambridge seminar practice. It would be interesting to know more about his educational background.
I love that Josh, a man that owns a pedal company, is always shining a spotlight on other makers. He’s always talking about out circuits he likes, spotlighting brands I may have not heard of otherwise.
If you think your marriage is going nowhere and you want to do something, just buy a Booster. This video deserves a book. One of the best videos of 2018, thanks!!!
Best pedal video I’ve ever seen. I learned a wealth of information and I was sad when it ended. I understand now why my JHS germanium fuzz has a bias knob. It is obvious now why pedals have been sounding significantly different when swapping guitars and amps, which frustrated me quite a lot. I learned I prefer the sound of soft clipping, which results from clipping diodes in the feedback loop. I like hard clipping too, but only when it isn’t muddy. I am putting the JHS Bonsai and a ProCo Rat on my Christmas list. I think I’ll check out the Analogman and JHS Bolt pedals you demoed too. Thanks for doing this video, I anxiously await more of the same. First I’ve got to watch this again. Cheers
Yes, it's made me really grateful that I have the discontinued MI Effects fuzzes, the Neo (ge) & GI (si). Both have bias, load, and brightness controls. Load control makes it easier when switching from singles to humbuckers. The bias control is great, but I think more fuzz pedals could have a load pot
Unfortunately, Josh's explanation of bias is not correct. In talking about dying batteries and the like, he is talking about supply voltage, or Vcc, not bias. Dan recognized that, which is why he started to try to talk about the range in which the device operates, but then the discussion moved on without reaching a correct explanation of bias.
@@ThatPedalShow Wow, wow, wow!!! I've watched so many of your vids over the years. I'm a big fan!! I even bought the Gigrig G2 because of your videos but THIS video was AWESOME!!! I learned so much. I wish I knew this stuff years ago. Thank you!!!
I've been watching That Pedal Show constantly for the last 6 months and though they're all very good, I have to say this is my absolute favourite episode to date. Josh is a wealth of knowledge and Dan and Mick really helped keep the conversation moving in the right direction and summarizing the material as the conversation progressed. Very well done guys! I know I'm going to keep coming back to this one
I swear Dan went in for the kiss when Josh said he would send him the amp. Then Mick realizes he has the volumes on his amp out of whack after 90% of the taping is completed. It is tough being in the presence of such majesty and not skipping a few beats.
Ah, it was my job to play the idiot back then. I still don’t really understand delay, but I’ve been a guitar journalist for over 20 years now so there is //some// knowledge in there. :0) Thank you!
You can't ever do enough videos with Josh. What a tremendously funny and frighteningly clever guy and you all interact so well. When the physics came in I felt totally out of my depth but sticking with it i'm surprised how much i was able to absorb. I have obviously subscribed to his channel as well and it's fantastic and his crew are great fun. You guys are a special trinity though. Superb!
Yeah, so true! Definitely I have found this special trinity some of THE most enjoyable episodes, when Dan, Mick and Josh are together in a room I know we're in for a seriously great, enjoyable and hugely informative time filled with entertainment, some great history about the gear, and excellent listening examples, all of it imparted in a totally accessible way - and as separate channels in their own right, both TPS and JHS are both already all-round awesome!
With these kind of videos I feel like I'm hanging around with these guys and laughing and having fun, playing guitar and learning! Feel like I'm there in the room with them! Keep them coming please and THANK YOU!
This conversation was a very important one that really needed to happen. Thanks guys for being willing to share your knowledge and experience to help us all out and giving us a reason for our wives and girlfriends to roll their eyes at us even more at how excited we are about this collaboration.
I would rather watch a full That Pedal Show episode than modern movies. I can learn, laugh, and contemplate more from your productions than i ever can watching a remake of a remake, that was remade.
The hound- I'm with you on that mate! Film and tv is dead on its feet. Was just saying the same to my other half .....she was watching another repeat and I was watching an epic from tps with an all-star cast ha ha.
Since discovering your show a year ago, you guys have sent me happily down the road of pedal acquisition. So many pedals and brands. But JHS has been a revelation for me. I think they are the most consistently great sounding pedals being made. Thanks, Josh.
I remember the first pedal I built was a fuzz face. I remember looking at an old vintage land mine FF n just being blown away that there were only like 10parts in the whole circuit. And only two are active components. This blew my mind and started me down the rabbit hole 🕳 of Tinkering, building, designing pedal circuits. That was several years ago now. All because I just couldn’t believe that this wall of fuzz coming at you was shaped by 10 little parts. Great show as always guys. Bring Josh on as much as you can get away with. Cheers 😄🎸🎛🔊🎼❤️🤟
I mean what more can I say? It’s my favorite series on the bazillion things on TH-cam. It’s possibly my favorite episode on my favorite series. What more can I say?
To misuse an out of date phrase "way to get your geek on!" Loved this episode. Forwarded it to all my amp building buds. All the reasons we have the "10 to 60 overdrive pedals" on the shelf.
I'm in the "I've learned a great deal" camp. Been playing gigs for 30 years and didn't have a complete grasp on this stuff like I should have. I understand from playing so long about the difference between plugging a Distortion+ into a twin and a champion & I've played most of the pedals so I know the difference between how my Big Muff and my DS-2 act and sound but to my SHAME I didn't really know HOW anything worked. It really helps me to know. My board was stolen and I think I can go "build back better" with confidence now. I watch you guys all the time and you rule! Always just superb information that's simple enough for beginners but in depth enough for everyone else.Thanks!!!
One of your best guest vids. Tough format to order properly but approaching it chronologically definitely helped. So much info I’ll have to watch again and Josh was really open and honest.
I just came here after watching the new episode about Dan choosing a new amp for his rig. As soon as he brought up his MIG-50 I was like OH MY GOODNESS ITS THE ORIGIN STORY 😂😂😂
The synergy between you three, guys is marvelous. This is not just a masterclass on audio technology from Josh and Dan, but a masterclass on technical journalism by Mick. Outstanding, really...
I’m soo glad you did a “full” episode with Josh. Yesterday although short was awesome!!! Let me grab a beer & put my feet up for the next hour or so. Can’t wait!! Love you guys!
This was absolutely fantastic! I’ve been watching TPS and JHS for a few years and this is probably the most informative video I’ve ever seen! Great job guys, keep the crossovers coming and don’t watch the clock when ur making videos like this! Absolutely would have sat through a 5 hour or multi part series without a second thought! Thanks for all I guys do!
this is like the 4th or 5th time I've watched this (i rewatch tps stuff all the time). I can genuinely listen to Josh talk all day and have no problem buying his pedals as they are well made and he genuinely knows his stuff.
these educational focused shows are truly a treasured resource for all of us out here- these shows are you guys at your absolute best- I look forward to your next one.
This was a great episode. I really appreciate when you do episodes that are so educational and instructive like this. Less about specific gear (though there’s nothing wrong with that either) and more about teaching about more fundamental gear aspects that many (or at least I) are less knowledgeable about. So thanks! Great work!
Great info guys . Not only is josh fantastic at what he does , but down to earth & humble. Cant wait to see /hear that amp too. The look on Dan's face lol .
What have I learned today? A whole heap of lovely, thank you very much boys!! First, don’t leave it to bedtime to watch TPS (I wouldn’t have learned anything). Second, I now know in far, far greater detail the differences between some Boost/OD/Distortion/Fuzz circuits (massively informative and enjoyable) Thirdly that Josh Scott is an awesome chap and a perfect fit for you guys. Fourth: The Long Form works!!!!
I will also say that despite being caught up in it at one point, and still feeling a tiny bit odd about "stuff" in Josh's earlier years, he certainly comes across as a good guy, who is friendly, certainly quirky, loves what he does, and is really appreciative of the knowledge of the other people in his industry. There are a few builders who insist that everything they've done is their own brilliant idea, but Josh seems as though he's from the other camp (as many are), in that he's quick to suggest "if you really want to try this certain type of pedal, this specific pedal from this builder is a great one to go buy" rather than saying that his is the one you need in all circumstances.
Great episode. I would love to see a similar interview & history show with Roger Mayer. He's such an originator of effects and obviously his Hendrix connection is extremely important to music. For whatever reason there are not many interview videos with him and I imagine he's getting pretty up in age now so it would be a shame to lose that oral history. Please do this.
Thank you so much for inviting Josh Scott, he's really likeable and his knowledge is amazing. Now I got to know the man behind my great JHS pedals...btw. the Colorsound is a beast...
Josh is a great guy and really knows his stuff. JHS is about 15 minutes away from me and I spent part of a very enjoyable afternoon with hin pre Covid. I do high end audio, he does pedals and I learn a lot from watching his stuff. Very generous in his praise of others' work.
1:02:08 My whole world view down the drain. 🤯😬 Great episode guys! Josh is super knowledgeable, and entertaining! Thanks to this episode I'm going to actually investigate my Sparkle Drive Mod's mod selector. Haha
Absolutely love watching your videos. You have reignited my love for guitar. Your passion and excitement for music always comes through. I have learned so much from your show, so thank you and keep up the great work!
This is an excellent video. As much fun as the journey through trial and error and magical accidents can be (which has been 90% of it for me), it’s certainly useful to really be able to connect what you enjoy and make informed decisions thereof. Because of this show I learned that I like the blues driver and KOT, colorsound boost and Warthog, tone benders and treble boosters...I’ve also discovered that tubescreamers, germanium fuzz Circuits and MIB/distortion pedals don’t really do it for me. It use to just be three categories: overdrive, distortion and fuzz, now together we see all the shades of grey and as a result can be more informed buyers but also creators of tones that help us individually get the noise out. It’s a blast learning and growing with you guys and the community.
Thank you Justin. I’m right there with you on the learning and growing thing. As for drives, it’s great to be able to say ‘ah, this isn’t doing it for me today and I kinda know why, so I’ll try this.” Instead of, “Ah, I don’t like this Tube Screamer so I’ll try that Tube Screamer.” That way madness lies. And believe me I’ve been there! Mick here.
So informative and fascinating! This really reinforces to me the need to get an amp and guitar combo you like and supplement with pedals. I've spent years trying to 'fix' a guitar/amp pairing I didn't like with expensive pedals. Good stuff.
This episode is by far my favorite! Josh shed so much light on the differences between each type of circuit and I finally feel like I understand the differences in a thoughtful way rather than just a sound or feel. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!
Great show! Easily a “top 10” episode of TPS. Each of you brought so much to the conversation, I know I’ll have a better understanding on my next visit to my guitar shop.
Hooray! So pleased you enjoyed it Joe - we were worried it might be too discursive and not ‘definitive’ enough.... but hopefully as we’ve established by now, there are no answers only better questions. Thanks for watching!
@ThatPedalShow - Brilliant, informative episode! Love hearing Josh explain the differences in pedal components. Please do an episode with Brian Wampler if he ever travels to UK!
2019, finally watching this episode and I want y’all to know that the depth of information is so useful even to the point of being able to follow along and tweak parts of my drive chain in my rig making it even more lovable!
Excellent coverage - speaking as a very inexperienced guitarist but a very experienced electronics engineer. Particularly want to complement all three on the ability to get over quite technical information in easy to understand fashion. Very enjoyable!
This was a huge lesson. I could watch three times and still keep learning. I've just decided to trade in two pedals on the basis of what I learned watching. Brilliant work all of you.
You guys should do an episode (or series of episodes) where you line up a couple different pedals and modded variations thereof to see how things change with different mods!
Thank you for this format, this subject, and having Josh in again. You three are well suited and the chemistry shows. One of the best shows so far but definitely #1 for 2018!
The 3 of you sat there made me think this is like "Top Gear" for music. I was just waiting for Simon to come in from the wings wearing a lab coat and pass you an envelope with a challenge in it. Each of you has to go out and buy a classic amp, one guitar, 3 pedals and see who gets the stadium gig first.
Fascinating guided tour of different pedal characteristics and history. Answered a lot of my existing questions and many questions I hadn’t even thought of yet! Thanks guys 👍
Thank you Mick, Dan and JOSH!! One of the best explanations I've ever heard on the differences and similarities of these types of pedals. I understand so much more now! You HAVE to have JOSH back again!
The best discussion on overdrives/distortion/fuzz I've seen anywhere! Great job guys on discussing enough technology and history to make it interesting, but reminding us that what it sounds like is everything. Josh was a fantastic guest. I could have kept watching! Can't wait for the boost episode!
I just want to second that this was one of your best shows ever! Josh is a great interview. He manages to explain the circuits in a way a layman can understand without sounding condescending. I never understood the different pedal architectures until now. Keep it up!
If Josh, Mick, and Dan produced a documentary on the development of guitars, amps and TONE that would be a game changer.
That’s a nice idea....
Yes! We need more guitar/guitar-related historic content!
It hurts enough watching this without being able to participate. Should my heath problems ever fucking relent, I will take Kevin Smith's advice and make what I want to watch.
Linus Pardoe yes that could be an awesome film!
Linus Pardoe I'm in
Years have passed. I declare this the most comprehensive and informative video on the history and functionality/dynamics or distortion/od of all time. You guys slay and Josh is the man
Thank you much Mark!
@ThatPedalShow you need to start producing those remaining 9 episodes with Josh 😊
As somebody who studied electronics at university, it's interesting to see how Josh distills the history and presents it in layman's terms in the context of pedals. 👍🏻
An Englishman, an Australian & an American walked in to a room ...
...and start in on some tasty bar chords.
This wasn’t “just” another episode... this was a masterclass!
Great pedal history lesson! Now teach us about the big bang and how that went down!
Moar fun.
@@elonmush4793 big bang is big bullshit
@@tysonrinker5958 Of course, you have a degree in Physics, right?
Tyson Rinker thanks for clearing that up us
I swear I saw tears appear in Dan's eyes when Josh said he'll send him a Sovtek head..
Passion!
You are quite probably right. :0)
Agreed... the gobsmacked gratitude is real.
"10 to 40 overdrives"-I'm up to 14, but if Josh says it's ok to have up to 40 I guess I'll take his word for it.
Man I'm way behind, I only have 2, with a fuzz on the way and two distinct drive modes on my amp. So basically 5 options total for gain. I need to hit Reverb and start shoppin'...
Let's be real, Josh has at least 400 himself so we all can get a few more and it'll be fine
@@Liko81DJ Quality is better than quantity.
I think Josh was referring to his own collection of 10 (thousand) to 40 (thousand) overdrive pedals
Josh, in his dry deadpan: "like 10-40 overdrives"
Dan and Mick, taking a second, then sincerely: "absolutely!"
Mick! You always do such an amazing job of facilitating a discussion and filling in the blanks to give listener a fuller picture. You are super attentive to the ears of the audience and I just love that!! Thanks, Jordan
Thank you kindly! Years of being a journalist I guess. And doing magazines. Always put the reader first. (Until a giant corporation decides it cares more about its shareholders than its readers, but hey, that’s another story. :0)
Thanks for watching!
@@ThatPedalShow Mick, Josh was so right in his praise of you being the best moderator.
And yet, more tangents, please.
His journalist years prepared him well for his job as pedalshow educator ;-)
@@elonmush4793 To me, it has more to do with Oxford and Cambridge seminar practice. It would be interesting to know more about his educational background.
Linear content delivery with informative tangents that offer insight and a little opportunity to inflect opinion make these vids worth watching.
I love that Josh, a man that owns a pedal company, is always shining a spotlight on other makers. He’s always talking about out circuits he likes, spotlighting brands I may have not heard of otherwise.
The highlight of this for me was Dan's reaction when Josh said he'd give Dan one of his MIG-50s. That alone was worth a like.
Never has there been a more perfect guest for this show. This was one of my favorite episodes. Really great, guys.
I must have watched this a half dozen times over the last couple years and I learn something every time. Content like this redeems the internet.
If you think your marriage is going nowhere and you want to do something, just buy a Booster. This video deserves a book. One of the best videos of 2018, thanks!!!
Hahahahah thats my answer to marriage problems too
Id love to see a panel, Jhs, Wampler, Keeley, Empress, Earthquaker, ect with that Pedal Show staff. Perhaps a special NAAM show.
This episode is a TPS hall-of-fame candidate for sure. so much fun to watch. Thank you!

This is the best episode of anything ever created. In history.
I love these videos with builders! I’d like to see you do one with Robert Keeley and his signature Supro amp!!!!
Wesley Viens jaime stillman would be an awesome guest as well, the video at andertons confirms this
Tiago Ducatti I was kind of amazed he didn’t do TPS at the same time tbh
Please get Robert!
I'm surprised Robert didn't do a show when the D&M drive launched. Another show on "pedal amps" with his new Supro would be great though.
Especially to see what they think of his FX loop as they generally aren’t fans of them.
With these kind of videos I feel like I'm hanging around with these guys and laughing and having fun, playing guitar and learning! Feel like I'm there in the room with them! Keep them coming please and THANK YOU!

Absolutely love watching your videos. You have reignited my love for guitar. Your passion and excitement for music always comes through. I have learned so much from your show, so thank you and keep up the great work!
"Guitar: Better than arson."

I want the t-shirt! 😂😂😂
Unless you're Kane Roberts, where your guitar is ALSO a flamethrower........
I wonder how many guys graduated from blowing stuff up to Rock and Roll. Good clean fun.
@@hoboroadie - I don't know. I feel like there's plenty of time to fit both into your day.
Why not both? Pat O'Brien did.
Love dans face when Josh says he's giving him a MIG. We got the new EHX MIG 50 in the shop and its fantastic. Cannot believe its the price that it is.
I can't believe I missed one! Fantastic video guys, great to discuss this with Josh. Just supercool..!!
I could watch this fifteen times over and still learn stuff each time! :)
This is an excellent video. As much fun as the journey through trial and error and magical accidents can be (which has been 90% of it for me), it’s certainly useful to really be able to connect what you enjoy and make informed decisions thereof. Because of this show I learned that I like the blues driver and KOT, colorsound boost and Warthog, tone benders and treble boosters...I’ve also discovered that tubescreamers, germanium fuzz Circuits and MIB/distortion pedals don’t really do it for me. It use to just be three categories: overdrive, distortion and fuzz, now together we see all the shades of grey and as a result can be more informed buyers but also creators of tones that help us individually get the noise out. It’s a blast learning and growing with you guys and the community.
Thank you Justin. I’m right there with you on the learning and growing thing. As for drives, it’s great to be able to say ‘ah, this isn’t doing it for me today and I kinda know why, so I’ll try this.” Instead of, “Ah, I don’t like this Tube Screamer so I’ll try that Tube Screamer.” That way madness lies. And believe me I’ve been there! Mick here.
So informative and fascinating! This really reinforces to me the need to get an amp and guitar combo you like and supplement with pedals. I've spent years trying to 'fix' a guitar/amp pairing I didn't like with expensive pedals. Good stuff.
love listening to Josh- so low-key and knowledgeable, and he makes some of the best stuff out there...thanx for doing this vid...
This episode is by far my favorite! Josh shed so much light on the differences between each type of circuit and I finally feel like I understand the differences in a thoughtful way rather than just a sound or feel. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!
Great show! Easily a “top 10” episode of TPS. Each of you brought so much to the conversation, I know I’ll have a better understanding on my next visit to my guitar shop.
Hooray! So pleased you enjoyed it Joe - we were worried it might be too discursive and not ‘definitive’ enough.... but hopefully as we’ve established by now, there are no answers only better questions. Thanks for watching!
@ThatPedalShow - Brilliant, informative episode! Love hearing Josh explain the differences in pedal components. Please do an episode with Brian Wampler if he ever travels to UK!
Open invitation to Brian - hopefully we can make it happen one day!
That Pedal Show Awesome! I was planning on emailing him about a recent video he did about boost pedals and will mention that.
2019, finally watching this episode and I want y’all to know that the depth of information is so useful even to the point of being able to follow along and tweak parts of my drive chain in my rig making it even more lovable!
"Wow, I've learned a great deal."
New to the pedal scene, this is super-informative. Thanks gents.
Thank you guys. I always enjoy the three of you sharing your knowledge
Excellent coverage - speaking as a very inexperienced guitarist but a very experienced electronics engineer. Particularly want to complement all three on the ability to get over quite technical information in easy to understand fashion.
Very enjoyable!
This was a huge lesson. I could watch three times and still keep learning. I've just decided to trade in two pedals on the basis of what I learned watching. Brilliant work all of you.
Very good episode. Great of Josh to join you guys and take us through the history of overdrive. Please do more episodes like this!
Super informative! An absolutely fantastic episode guys, 85 minutes feels too short! :)
Haha, yeah. Josh and his room of Sovtek amp heads makes me laugh every time I see it!
This is a valuable educational video for any guitarist ....Watch, Listen,and Learn
Incredibly informative and I just love Josh’s sense of humor 😊👍🏻💁🏼
You guys should do an episode (or series of episodes) where you line up a couple different pedals and modded variations thereof to see how things change with different mods!
Where else are you going to find this kind of deep dive into pedal geekery? Talk about a master class. 👍🏻🎸
Thanks for doing this. You guys are really helpful.
P.S.Josh should be invited everywhere so the world could be cooler and funnier.
Thank you for this format, this subject, and having Josh in again. You three are well suited and the chemistry shows. One of the best shows so far but definitely #1 for 2018!
The 3 of you sat there made me think this is like "Top Gear" for music. I was just waiting for Simon to come in from the wings wearing a lab coat and pass you an envelope with a challenge in it.
Each of you has to go out and buy a classic amp, one guitar, 3 pedals and see who gets the stadium gig first.
I will watch this episode again..alot of info. Thk u gentlemen!!!
Awesome having Josh on here with you guys. Love his knowledge and passion and personality. Sweet. Thanks!
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Guys this was great. Learned so much. I understand so much more about circuits than I did an hour ago. Thanks everyone.
Can't say enough good things about this episode!!! Fantastic Experience!!!
A glorious 24 hours worth of content.
Fascinating guided tour of different pedal characteristics and history. Answered a lot of my existing questions and many questions I hadn’t even thought of yet! Thanks guys 👍
Thank you Mick, Dan and JOSH!! One of the best explanations I've ever heard on the differences and similarities of these types of pedals. I understand so much more now! You HAVE to have JOSH back again!
That’s great, thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. :0)
What a great guest and a great show! Well done.
Albert Hoffman accidentally getting high on LSD, Marty Robins accidentaly discovering the fuzz tone. LOL the 60's was a weird time.
Hofmann was '43, Leary just blew it up in the 60's!
The best discussion on overdrives/distortion/fuzz I've seen anywhere! Great job guys on discussing enough technology and history to make it interesting, but reminding us that what it sounds like is everything. Josh was a fantastic guest. I could have kept watching! Can't wait for the boost episode!
I will watch every minute over and over and over...
WoW...now I understand what type of clipping I like! And why I like it....🤯
1:00:53 watch Dan turn into a nine year old boy on Christmas morning
I just want to second that this was one of your best shows ever! Josh is a great interview. He manages to explain the circuits in a way a layman can understand without sounding condescending. I never understood the different pedal architectures until now. Keep it up!
What an EXCELLENT show. It's HUGE how much great, useful information! Thank you all so much for this one!
