I know I've said this before, but I love the fact that you talk up brands that most people would see as your competitors. In business you're supposed to trash talk your competition and hype your own brand. You do the opposite and it's really refreshing.
What would we be without our competition? We don't wanna see them disappear! Seriously, imagine if Fender just disappeared off the face of the planet. Guys over at Gibson would cry, because they're probably Fender fans too! They know they bring a different thing to the market, and they are greater because of each other
@@TheChadPad
The guys with the love for instruments would cry
the suits would probably upcharge their products by 300% if their competition would disappear though
Jason Ayala Spare his talking good of other companies to let u think..he is an amazing guy, I want to buy a pedal from here.. really clever marketing
@@skeltergaming1643 There is probably something to it, but I think he just loves pedals. And music. With these videos he probably sold as many pedals of other manufacturers as his own. If not more. And this attitude isn't quite unique to JHS. You will often see other pedal makers give shoutouts to other competitors and even use their pedals in their videos. So, it's a market with quite a bit of competition but not much bitter rivalry.
@@Quicksilver_Cookie Totally agree with folks' assessment of Josh. Yeah, I've heard the stories about his personal beliefs...blah blah blah. Unless he advocates kicking puppies and stealing candy from toddlers, his personal, private views have absolutely no bearing on me and I couldn't possibly care less. I like the guy. I like his pedals. I LOVE the fact that he consistently gives props to other pedal makers. Yes, absolutely refreshing. But you're right - he's not necessarily unique in praising others. Clearly we are in another golden age of guitar pedals right now and I think all the manufacturers have learned that the market is big enough for everyone, catering to diverse sonic tastes. Yes, competition in a free market is great. But as the gear companies are showing, you don't have to be cutthroat assholes to prosper. Again, it's a huge, wide open market and everyone has a chance to get a little fat. Best part is - we the consumer benefit the most. I hope it continues forever....
"In today's NIKE Fitness Blog we'll be talking about the best Adidas running shoes"
No one else would do this, it's just awesome...
Because he just loves gear and appreciates that's there's great stuff out there beside JHS.
@@wallsdownstudios4112 You really think he's making a show about TC pedals out of the goodness of his heart?lol
@@sixtomcready3514 when the pedal industry wins, everybody wins!
@@wallsdownstudios4112 There's a difference between supporting the industry, and flogging any old shitbox to the plebs because you get a kickback.
Tc don't compete with his pedals anyway since his are double the price usually.
Josh "I promote my pedals by telling the world how great everyone else's pedals are" Scott
So much respect!
Clever huh
It shows that he knows what he's talking about 🙂
Watch the black and white film "Miracle on 34th Street"
I admire how Josh customizes he's style of playing really to capture the essence of the pedal he's playing at the time. He makes it look easy but it's not.
Ahhhh, it's easy if you turn your brain off.
I was thinking of the same thing just before i read your comment.
I've noticed this as well. He's a great player. Although I've mostly only heard him playing rhythm esq stuff.
he's playing the pedal
Playing the pedal is the only way! Although sometimes the pedal really wants a different amp or guitar, or gear setting... So, one ought to be sensitive to that for sure.
Josh is my favorite pedal ever made. He’s really good, really good.
He's just a clone of a tubescreamer with like 3 tweaks in a big box enclosure.
He’s THAT good, I promise.
Is he true bypass?
Especially for the money!
Other pedals are good. Josh is ... gooder. They're all really good. I don't not like anything, really, ever. I like everything ... especially Josh.
He knows what he's doing.
He's like "I am JHS. You know who makes great pedals? These other guys. Here's Why"
And we are like "Wow, I should buy some JHS pedals."
Word.
Seriously, it blows everyone away. I'm a fan of the show and stuff but it's also constant exposure to jhs and a great way to market the brand, build community, trust, blah blah blah....
Josh puts such heavy praise on so many pedals. Would love to know what pedals Josh DOESN’T like!! Want to see that video!!
At the end, he says "I don't not like anything, I like everything"
So that episode may never come haha
It’s kinda not his thing. He is very positive about everyone in the industry. There are some pedal manufacturers who are very much not like that, and it’s joshs thing to not be like that
josh has to buy bucket brigade chips from a behringer owned company lol...so he isnt bashing behringer.
Josh only hate the flerb option from the holy grail 😂
the Klon. he hates Klons (only as a clean boost though)
I have 7 of the TC Electronics "Smorgasbord" series and love them. Great sounds, simple operation, rock solid construction. Dollar for dollar the best pedals out there.
I love how POSITIVE you are about your competition. Shows you love the CRAFT more than the CASH!
Pretty sure he loves cash..
@KC 🙄
I think the Patreon is a little more justified given how much I learn from every episode, though I haven’t contributed to it.
@@blakeburress he doesn't need the patreon
I'm really disappointed (though not shocked) at how a reaffirming comment regarding someone's positive attitude caused such jerkish responses...
Your channel is definitely helping me in looking for the right pedals. Thank you so much for your research, passion, demos and helpful commentary.
The Hall of Fame Reverb 2 is one of my favorites and I don't even own one.
Been using a Hall of Fame for years, lately as a supplementary reverb. If it's good enough for Radiohead, it's good enough for me.
I REALLY love the TC Spark. I expected a simple boost but it added a layer of smoothness to my tone that I just couldn't find anywhere else. Great pedal.
+1 I use it for soloing in an acoustic trio, fat setting and with just enough gain for a hint of dirt to cut through the mix. This plus the Brainwaves are the best things I ever did for my pedalboard.
@@mickhardiman That's exactly how I use my spark.
i agree. it's the spark that drew me into tc electronics. it can really make my sound sparkle! paired with a boss graphic eq it's the secret weapon on my pedal board, healing everything from muffled or overly hot pickups to metal zones.
Yup! Just replaced my Ibanez BB9 with the TC spark 4 knob. Cheaper, less noise, more versatile. Its sonic contribution is more "just right" for me. And looks understated cool.
Anyone wannaa buy a BB9?
Agree! It’s an amazing little pedal, good usable juicy tones. I miss my MXR Micro Amp circa 1980, I just mashed it into junk then tried to repair and failed. The Spark has slowed my tears 😢 and helped me to move forward.
"You can turn it on and off" killed me.
My favourite channel at the moment 😃, i really love the background info of a pedal and the historical part! Awesome!
I recently fell in love with the TC Choka Tremolo. It just sounds and looks awesome!
Two things:
- I have some tc electronic pedal and most of them are really good.
- seeing you videos it’s like sitting in a living room with a good friend talking about pedals and music. Good video as always!
In the age of amp modeling this made me miss playing with REAL pedals so much! 🔥
Also nice to see a pedal manufacturer honest intrest in other brands and promoting them as well.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the Feist recommendation.. New discovery for me. Have been listening to The Reminder every day now. Love it. The piano/synth/keys arrangements were a particularly nice surprise
Great episode, a lot of fun! thanks again!
I’m so glad he didn’t mention any of the Tc Electronic pedals that I have! I was in the process of ordering a few extras to keep on hand and since JHS didn’t mention them I will have no problem finding them!
The 3rd Dimension Chorus pedal by TC Electronic, part of the "smorgasbord" line, is a nice sounding chorus and it's really cheap, too.
its on my board too!
it’s kinda silly that it’s built to imply a boss dimension sound when that’s not really what it does, but it sounds great regardless
@@chrisegg7936 Phase enhancing is its own thing imo. Skew things up, and everything changes.
Feist is an incredible guitar player. I love the way she writes riffs with space in between, so each lick can breathe and be enjoyed. The album "Metals" basically got me into playing guitar. Thanks Josh!
Man, you deserve all the love you get! Its so refreshing to see someone being so positive even to competitors!
Love Dark Matter, love MojoMojo, love TC Electronic, but Josh videos I love even more
TC Electronic pedals: Wiretap Riff Recorder = First in the chain to record everything without effects or layout. This way I can use it to try, tweak and change effects. Also record long session and/or long improvisation (8 Hours) and have it on my cell phone with the App.
Wonderful to see something from my home country. They have done some really spectacular stuff. :)
Love you and your work Joshie.
The MojoMojo!! So good to see it finally :D Love that pedal, been using it for years
The mini spark boost is crazy loud and crazy clean. Love it.
Not to mention really cheap. It's my "always on pedal".
@@dalicdan It's a killer always-on to kick your preamp up a notch, and the perfect thing in the effects loop for a solo boost. AND IT'S SO SMALL! You can use two to do both of those things, and it still takes up the size of one pedal!
I can’t believe he didn’t mention it.
The Spark truly is a God send for it's volume, clarity, simplicity, size and price. Honestly I can't say a single bad thing about the TC Spark. I personally use mine to up the signal of my Danelectro DC59 NOS' pickups as they're very very quiet, especially in the bridge position.
There’s literally not an OD made that the mini-Spark won’t make sound better.
I like the way you seem to be excited about each pedal you talk about.
I've watched so many JHS videos during the quarantine. So much good stuff here. The appreciation of other companies, and I've definitely added some of the "Record Time" music to my personal playlists. My next pedal is gonna be a JHS. Now to decide which one haha.
Finally! Some Rusty Recognition! I knew that fuzz was special. I love putting the fuzz knob on zero and the tone knob at 100%. Very dynamic and sensitive to touch. Still a bit dark which is nice. Seems like the tone knob is more prominent in relationship to the fuzz level. Love the build too! I can totally tweak the knobs with my fat toe😅!
The TC Chorus+ and Booster+ are 2 of my favourite pedals ever.. top notch!
HellYes!! it’s an incredible record... the limit of your love is one of my favorites songs.
Another one for her album Metals - Undiscovered First.
With a very particular atmosphere .
Big hugs from México.
Josh & Nick, Keep doing those wonderful vids.
Love Feist. Bought that album home when it came out. My wife and I listened to it, and were so inspired we wrote 3 songs that night. Her album Metals is absolutely killer too.
Glad you mentioned the Nova Delay but the Nova Drive did “digitally controlled analog” before most! I think we need to see the Nova series come back, am I right?
I will never give up my Nova drive.
I really miss my Nova delay. If they came out with an updated version of the series I'd be all over them
@@64north20west I loved the overdrive section, but could never find a sound i loved out of the distortion side unfortunately.
@@motorcycleguitarsolo I have to agree. I find myself trying to get the overdrive side to 'enhance' the distortion more often than the other way around. It is a very versatile box, but the sinvertek 5 and the EVH 5150 overdrive are better and stay on my larger pedal board. I even think the TC Dark Matter is better for distortion alone.
If you want three analog amp channels from clean to dirt in Fender Marshall & Mesa flavors with digital controls (for presets) you want a Tech 21 Tri A.C.
I keep my Mojo low gain so my bridge pickup just starts to break up and have it as an always-on. My Fenders love it and it loves my Fenders, everyone's happy.
Thanks for sharing this. I love my old and new TC pedals.
so much love and respect for Feist! Amazing singer, outstanding songwriter. Her guitar riffs are so bluesy somehow with the use of open tunings and the production of all of her records is just wow. She can be pop, alternative, folk, jazzy, anything but her unique voice always bring it home. One of the most underrated artist of the last 20 years. She should be 10 times bigger. The Reminder was my first but I also love Pleasure a lot too. Century with Jarvis Cocker is awesome
I dont know why you havent made a full episode on RATs yet. Clones, different versions, mods, etc etc.
I don't know why you realize why not.
Iron horse!!!!
trex mud honey is the best version of a refined rat. end of topic.
I think the jhs 3 series distortion is the best rat clone, it kicked my Proco rat 2 off my board
Josh, you are the gold standard of pedal reviewers. Classy, matter-of-fact, humble presentations.
So glad you gave Feist some lovin. That was an awesome album
So glad to see a devoted TC Electronic vid from JHS! I love their pedals, but I don't really see them getting talked about online as much as I'd expect to.
Also happy to see the Mojo Mojo in this video! I recently picked one up, and man is it impressive. It keeps that low end, and sounds almost exactly like my Vox AC15 with its tubes cranked!
The Mojomojo was my very first pedal of all and I've never taken it off my board. My second pedal was the Fulltone OCD going into the Mojomojo. Great combination!
Josh, I'm so glad you mentioned the Rusty Fuzz (and first!). It could easily be, for some players, the only fuzz they need.
Don’t listen to this man, rusty fuzz sucks
You rock man,you're videos are awesome 😉🤘
Great video! Awesome and unexpected record time too!
The Nova Delay was the first pedal I bought, and I've never put together a board without it.
1,2,3,4 is a song I'm familiar with thanx to my daughter... There's a version of the song in sesame street where she sings with Elmo and stuff.
On the pedal side of things, I have to say that I built my board around TC's pedals because of how affordable and what great reviews they had. I don't regret it, I love how they sound and I wish you could do a whole episode where you explore something you did today: pairing up some of those. Thanks for the great episodes every single time.
I always admired the Sound of their vintage delay. Got a very special Sound. Loved it!
Thanks for the TCE rundown 💜
the whole smorgasbord line is gonna be the new de facto “entry level” pedal line, if they aren’t already. They have no business sounding as good as they do for the price, and they’re close to indestructible.
The Limit To Your Love is my personal favorite from that album, good choice for record time.
The flashback is my favourite. Hitting the strings for tap tempo was game changer for me as it's accurate and keeps the pedal small. Love it!
I have to chime in with the crowd. I'm really impressed that you are always raving about the competition, not just your own pedals. I guess you know full well that your pedals are all excellent too, right up there with the best, so it doesn't worry you to brag about the other brands. I only have on e of your pedals so far, an Angry Charlie v3, and I'm beyond happy with it. If I had to get rid of all my overdrive pedals except one, the Angry Charlie would easily be the keeper. It's amazing!
That all said, this video inspired me to pick up a gently-used TC Electronic Nova delay, got a great deal on one, couldn't pass it up, just arrived today and it is an absolutely wonderful pedal. Thanks for suggesting that one! :-)
I love Tc electronic. I used to have a T2 reverb and an Alter Ego x4 and they were my favorite pedals I have ever owned. I miss my old rig. I had the mojomojo on there as well and I love using it at low gain settings. Unfortunately i lost all my gear/every belonging I've ever had after moving back home across the country to get my life together, but hey, I chose life over materials so I cant complain, and I'm slowly but surely building a new rig and doing much better in the life department. Lol.
orry fishburne you cant have anything if your dead. Or if your life is out of order you can’t Appreciate anything or best case scenario being you can’t fully enjoy or get maximum enjoyment out of anything if your life is Fed up. Good choice leaving everything and waking up and waking life. Have a great life. You made one great choice that day. Make more of them.
Honourable mention for "My Moon My Man", which, along with being a great song, features one of my all-time favourite guitar sounds
Love that track. The piano bassline. Perfect. My underrated favourite is probably The Water. So broody. The footage of them recording it is incredible too with everyone in the room creating texture.
This show is among the top reasons I get excited for Friday!
I love your high pressure sales approach, I'm buying right now
I really love my TC Viscous Vibe, but you can't argue with any of these choices! Great video, as always... Great album from Feist as well. :)
Thinking of getting that pedal, seems good value.
@@mickgreenwood7158 i have it also ... its great!
@@mickgreenwood7158 If you don't plan on using it in stereo, you might be disappointed. There are a lot of haters on it because it isn't an exact replication of an original UniVibe. It's more. If you dig stereo chorus, you'll probably like the Viscous. I do.
@@TheRealcdawg22 Cheers. I'll give it a go I think.
+1 on the stereo... that was one of the reasons I got it. It’s nice and thick, especially in stereo. You can input other people’s presets but I haven’t done that yet. I’m very happy with it. 🎶❤️🎵
I can't think of any pedal from TC Electronics that I haven't though "how can they do all this for this price?" They're all pretty much great.
Great stuff as always. That Mojomojo, very interesting....
Gots some TC love on my board... Excellent Vid Josh... Respecta as always...
The 'Nova' line is criminally underrated.
TC vintage pedals like the chorus and preamp booster/line driver were amazing. Please give them some love.
I bought the rusty fuzz an honey pot as my first foray into fuzz. Absolutely love em! An so cheap! Great pedals. The rusty fuzz does the gated thing too with a boost in front or high output pickups.
I have TC’s Polytune pedal and clip on tuners, as well as the first Hall of Fame reverb, and they are FANTASTIC. Great video as always!
I have the Mojomojo, and let me tell you it is fantastic. If you are looking for a versatile drive pedal that can pull off a light drive to a heavier distortion (and everything in between) this pedal is a great choice. Cheap too!
Fun & convenience fact: The old TC Stereo Chorus has 1 Mohm input impedance.
So it handles the direct signal from a passive Fender Rhodes Mk1 superbly without muddying tone.
Try this with a famous Boss CE-1 (stock) - no chance! *
* Having said that, using a Roland Jazz Chorus 120 Combo, sporting the same Boss Chorus inside, is great for a Rhodes as it´s got those sensible inputs for passive instruments.
Thanks for a great vid. I love TCE. Josh, you're great.
I bought so many of TC's pedal during Black Friday. I like the build quality. I wish they had an envelope filter pedal.
The TC Mimiq multi tracker is hella underrated. Huge sounds. Shines when pushing 2 amps.
REALLY shines if you're practicing in headphones. Riffing in mono blows. Set it to one dub (gets too smeary with more than one), full wet, drunk knob between noon and two depending on the tempo.
Awesome with guitar, great with tracking synths too or anything that turns midi into audio, its like an easier double tracker/widener.
@@DapperHesher I think playing with headphones it would still be mono... unless you use a TRS splitter... is that how you do it?
Does any of yours, randomly switch the stereo field?. Kind of glitches only notice if your playing a sustained chord of something. My only annoyance about this pedal.On the latest firmware.
@@SethTaylor1 I haven't upgraded the firmware yet, is there any benefit to upgrading it?
The mensch is at it again shouting out his competition! I like TC delays. I have both an Echobrain (best used for short delay) and a TC Nova on my board!
I'm lusting after the Nova right now. All the options I'm looking for.
Qhats the nova do?
Short delay is great and all, but I like the Echobrain for the mental talky squawks you get at the other end of the scale...
@@maxonmendel5757 just about any delay you want. 20 Presets, fully customizable, 9 saved user presets. A delay workstation.
@@shanewright2772 for sure, you need to be cool with it being noisy though. I run it in front of my amp and the Nova in the loop so I just use it as a short delay, it is basically my reverb.
I am glad you repeatedly mentioned the behringer line of tc pedals! I have the Cinders, and it is an always on for me
Thanks for this josh this channel is the best i like listening to it while drinking my coffee in the morning, and it totally sparkled interest for pedals.
I bought three pedals in the last two weeks. Last time i bought a pedal before that was at Namm 2008 (yeah by the one you went for the first time - happened to be my last).
It was a Krank Distortus Maximus (which has been my main distortion ever since) that i got for $50 after the show.
It also made me reevaluate some cheap pedals i had lying around.
You can't inflate the pedal price if they're still made in mass quantities!
That’s a big lol, look at the behringer sf300
@@Morningstar_Actual yeah but the smorgasbord series is in every guitar center ever
you'd think so but actually no
You would certainly think so... but people will always surprise you
True, although it's funny how sometimes you can find some used stuff being offered at current retail prices, or even higher.
The spark mini is insanity, it gets so loud and stays crystal clear, a keeley katana for like a quarter of the money
I Just love your videos!!! Thanks a lot!!!
I once had the chorus/flanger and it is definitely the best chorus I ever heard up today. I used it with my Ovation guitar and for bass. I’ve never heard a chorus sounding as good like this on a bass. There are 3 layers of circuit boards inside stacked and full of electronics. Amazing!
MOJOMOJO has really incredible dynamic range. Perfect pedal.
Would love to see an episode on the Tech21 Sansamp series.
Refreshing demo, thanks for the honestly.
It would be great to see a video like this one that walked through the some of the Joyo pedals, especially the newer R Series pedals.
Please keep up the great work, I love the channel and your pedals!
Alter Ego V2 - my favourite delay.
Alter Ego X4 and Flashback Triple delay my fav TC delays.
Guitar Pedal: exists
Josh: this is the best pedal ever
Thank you, Josh! You make me to love pedals even more.
Hell yeah! Been using their RPT-1 and Flashback forever. Great feature sets on them. Great sound too, clean when you want it clean, coloration when you want that. The Ditto and the polytune are super useful too.
I love the tc electronic Cinders overdrive. Makes such a lovely distorted sound with a very big amount of gain.
I was just thinking about getting another Tc electornics pedal while watching another one of your videos... you read my mind
man, the Nova Delay. That was my main delay for the first 6 years of playing as a proper professional. Definitely underrated.
does that pedal age well? would you have concerns for someone buying used today?
@@Missile_Command i would say it has definitely aged well and they are built like tanks.
Missile Command Have had none for about 10 years. Still works perfectly. Love it.
Excellent album recommendation!!!! I can’t name my favorite track because I love them all.
That’s got to be one of the coolest album covers ever, very nice! 🤘🏻
I'd say that my favorite pedal from them is the june-60. It's a a chorus circuit from a Juno synthesiser
Sadly it s not the same at all.
Nova delay is my favorite pedal ever. Of all time.
Emmanuel Alejandro It’s close to the top for me
Just bought the Flashback Mini.
I love it! I really enjoy the Toneprint stuff
Watching Josh talk about other pedals makes me want to buy more JHS stuff. I can genuinely support someone like him. Such a cool guy.
Honey Pot Fuzz. Best fuzz I have, and it was like 25€
Question: do you have any opinions on Mooer Pedals at all? I've heard things about them (which in hindsight legal troubles in the music industry isn't anything new at all), but I'd love to hear an opinion from a man who knows a thing or two about effects pedals.
I've been eyeing their multi-effects processors as an upgrade from my long-in-the-tooth Boss GT-100, and I guess a secondary question to someone like you is how you feel about floor-based processors that either do multiple pedals or an entire rig in one place?
A man of his word with passion here. Neglects own brand when it comes to what he truly cares about. That blows me away today. Thank you. Making a living NOT a killing.
I just got a TCE Sub’N’Up October pedal. A very cool, simple, great sounding 2 down/1up octave pedal w/ great graphics/paint scheme. Love it!
