Not coffee, but when I stopped drinking alcohol I could afford more gear. Downside, now that I'm sober I realized I'm not that great of a player!😅😅

"Mod Galaxy" is my favorite Slowdive song in 30 years.

I love how these guys are so agnostic about gear and how passionately they praise their competitors. When I am rich, I will buy one of every JHS pedal. For now, I will watch the KZfaq.

I primarily watch these for the humor. The pedal info is just a bonus. I'm never disappointed.

my life was so good when Josh was still buying coffee from me. I had a nice car, my kids' college was paid for, my retirement was in sight . . .

I know of an American company who came out with a great budget line and who pay their employees a fair wage here in the United States, they're called JHS.

- We can do anything we want. We choose our destiny. - Sometimes melody meets tone in a brand new way. - Less coffee, more gear. - If it sounds good it is good. Is this the most philosophical a JHS episode has gotten? I'm leaning towards yes. Plus all of these deserve to be on merch.

Still the best pedal show of all time. Never sucks. Like never at all is there any suckage.

To Nick : Please create a "he's out of the box" insert for when Josh doesn't want to be boring 🙏

I’m so late to this JHS Show addiction. Just commenting to say I went straight to your merch page for the “My hair is long My pants are tight My music’s loud My colors are bright” shirt and I was terribly disappointed. I love you guys ha ha

Josh makes Flamma pedals skyrocket in price the episode haha

The jams are getting better and better. It's insane how good this is. Super well mixed as well.

I never realized how inventive Josh was as a guitar player.

jams are sounding better and better with each vid. you got some talented folks over there.

Josh has made me look at guitar pedals like I looks at cats: I want to play with all of them and ideally take them home. Thank you for teaching me how to stop worrying and love the bomb...sounds.

"Less coffee, more gear" needs to be on a t-shirt

Whenever JHS release a new video, i'm always waitin' for "He Has the Box", "Wurdz iz Hard" and my most favourite "I Don't Have this Pedal, Am I Gonna Survive ? (I Just Had to Have that Pedal) the reason why i get up everyday...

Love the humility and the vibe of this channel. Love JHS

I love how Josh is introducing me to brands I've never heard of.

i can only pray that you one day know how much respect i have for you and your company. not many others will review and give stellar reviews even of a brand that can be seen as "competition." I get it, every pedal does something a little different and that removes the comp, but wow.... I promise, I will purchase one of your pedals before long. Thanks Josh... you rock bud

MB5 = mesa boogie V. Love the coverage of great sounding reasonably priced gear and not yet another 'the original klon is better' video. Keep 'em coming.

That idea of running a cheap drum machine into pedals is AMAZING Wow you can do so many cool things with that

I only discovered you a fortnight ago and I already love you. Your videos keep me company while I work. And my G.A.S. is back to worrying levels ;) Thank you! Keep up the good work!

Mod Galaxy is my favourite jam on this show. Actually, came back just to listen again. Such a great sound!

Clearly, Josh knows you have to take care of your baristas with a very healthy tip. Especially during COVID. Good on you, sir.

I was waiting this episode since a long time!! I already have almost all the standard series (the MXR size ones) and it's just outstanding!! For this price it's almost professionnal... By the way on the Preamp pedal: Coral Reef is the Two-Rock Coral, Blue Eye 100 is the Friedman Brown Eye, the MB 5TH Gen is the Mesa Boogie Mark V and the HVE 5151 is obviously the Peavey 5150...

Awesome videos. Awesome serious humor. Love the videos. Thanks for the taking the time.🙃

genuinely the best gear channel of all youtube, love everything of it

The thing that always impresses me about these videos is the snare sound

I donno if I'm depressed or just something is wrong with me but "mod galaxy" speaks to me strongly. It was first jam that I'll be vibing with for a long time. Thank you Josh and thanks to your crew. Stay well

Been watching since day one and without a doubt, jam wise, this episode had my favorite tracks! Great tones!

I absolutely Love this channel! These guys are having way to much FUN, and giving great reviews!!💥💥👍👍🤙

So far I have the stereo delay, the distortion, and the stand-alone auto-way pedals from Flamma. All of them sound fantastic. The stereo reverb and modulation pedals are on my to-buy list for the near future. Great brand.

One of the really cool things about the preamp is that it is a 2 channel amp sim. It has both the clean and dirty channels of those amps which you can switch between using the footswitch. Not only that, you can set the EQ for each channel separately. I use mine mostly for headphone playing and it does a great job for that. The cabsim is OK, nothing amazing. But it's cool that you can turn it on or off depending on if you are using it with a real cab.

Great record choice, and nice to see some cheap effects to experiment with. Love this channel.

Yess!! As a drummer turned to guitar player (apt living,) so stoked to hear mention of Yussef Dayes! He is an incredibly talented AND melodic drummer if one listens closely enough. Long live JHS & crew!

I have had their reverb pedal on my board for almost a year now. Delay too, its been on my board for a few months now and the tape is just right, I love the degrade control. Love that you covered this.

Ok, I'm definitely planning on opening a coffee shop near Josh's house, at this point. I could be millionaire in a couple months, I guess

I bought the big reverb on Prime Day on a whim. It sounds awesome! I'm glad you covered the brand.

Your Vids a re always good. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

Wife: Why do you keep buying guitar crap? Me: I don't buy coffee.

I honestly love this show, but i hate how i really want almost every single pedal he shows

Love the videos! Keep them coming JHS!!!

This show just gets better and better all the time

He played every breath you take and verbed it out.

Great demo of the best budget pedals on the market. (Pretty sure they are using Mooer OEM as the delay and reverb are similar to the Mooer 7 series.) Wish you had shown everyone the use of the 2 channels oltion on the Preamp and the Cab sim. Coral = Two Rock, Blueeye = Friedman BE MB5= Mesa Mark 5.

I bought an Ekoverb a few months ago (my first Flamma). I love it so much I bought more from this line. Flamma makes amazing pedals. They are (or now, were) a best kept secret. I’m so happy you did this video. I was so blown away by the pedals in the budget price range that I thought there may have been something wrong with me 🤪

I'm coming to really love this channel. The humor, the expertise, the music, the personalities, it's all great, something I now look forward to every day as I sift through older episodes like this. Thanks for doing it! Having done it? I picked this episode today because I do have the Flamma mini reverb, and it really is excellent. Great normal reverbs with lots of extremity if you want it, and it even does a reasonable ambient almost shimmer thing. The same day I got that I also got a Behringer Digital Reverb however, which is what I use mostly. I like to refer to my fave setting as "crispy desolation". The delta, but with a thin veneer of space age polymers. Anyway, thanks for proving that the rest of the line is similarly great. I may need that Eko Verb thing, and/or the delay. And yes, I'm always excessively wordy...

I think eventually JHS videos will either be 100% stingers or be 3 hours long each, and I’m good with either option.

I have two Flamma's. They're fun to play with. But I didn't keep them for myself. Gifting them to my teenage daughter who's gotten into guitar and music.

I love this show. Long life for you guys!

As someone who recently graduated as an electrical engineer and is learning about guitar. I absolutely love this channel and it’s insight on not only tones but the hardware that creates them🙏🏼

When I see digital mod / verb / delay / amp sim pedals with lots of voices, I can't help comparing them to a full-blown multifx like the Zoom G3n (or even the plastic G1 four.) I assume it is far easier to tweak individual pedals while you are playing, but the accessibility of saved pedal chains and the cost-per-available-effect is just mind-blowing in the multifx.

"I love you but you're boring." ROFL! This. Is. The. Best. Show. Ever.

The last combo is just perfect, love it so much

I know why you are sooo good, It is about love. For gear. For music. For musicians. And by sharing so much love, you guys are contributing heavenly to our culture. In short ? THANK YOU.

Josh is an out-of-the-box guy. With awesome ideas.

Watching this while drinking my home made coffee. (A secret that big coffee doesn't want you to know btw. Homemade coffee is the loophole to having both coffee and gear). All this coffee hate has me slightly triggered... It could be the caffeine, not sure. I'll just wipe my tears with the instruction manuals of my pedals.

Thanks guys!

I absolutely love everything about these videos!

Flamma are made by Harley Benton, a budget guitar company who make outrageously good guitars for really cheap. I have a Dual Humbucker Tele from them that absolutely rules.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but, “if it sounds good, it IS good” was something attributed to Duke Ellington. You’re in good company!

After watching this video for the fourth or fifth time (low-balling here), I finally purchased a Flamma MOD just to try out the Ring Modulation feature... but then I fell in love with the LOW BIT setting. Thank you for the content, Josh. Have a great day.

Awesome! I've had the yellow overdrive pedal on my board for months, it's fantastic!

Picked up the delay and reverb a couple of months ago. Surprisingly good pedals. I wish they'd put the mode settings on the side of those like they did on the preamp pedal.

“‘If it sounds good, it is good.’ -Josh Scott” -Yngwie Malmsteen

Yes Josh...Great show..! I really like the Flamma pedals..! Thanks so very much..!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You three are my favorite band!!!

I know this is off base but could you please do a video on how you get your drums to sound so good. Mic positions and Processing etc. they sound better than most of the drum channels. If you have already done this and I just missed it please give link. Thanks

It’s a nice juxtaposition: “budget” pedals on the same board as a Klon

And here i am right now watching this episode while drinking my coffee. My quiet time. I like the vibe on this show.

I enjoyed this episode a lot thx

Hello! This Monday I got my Ekoverb and I was thinking "when is Josh going to talk about Flamma?' Well...here we are... Big fan of every video!

I'm so glad the "cup of coffee" thing has been address. I'm in the UK and I didn't know if you guys had some crazy high import tax on coffee beans or something.

I appreciate how much you respect other brands.

I'm a new follower, usually play acoustic, really enjoying the channel! Using all my Discover points to buy some pedal. All the jams were great, Blue Fungi: double +, Break Room Blues: yes. The last one was pretty nice too, 'kinda U-2. Happy Trails!

Not that it's hugely important, but one thing that I found with my Flamma modulation pedal (the bigger one in yellow) is that it's labeled to run on 300mA. I measured it myself and it was pulling more like 200mA. Still, it's one of the highest amperage out of all of my pedals so I kinda keep an eye on amperage if I'm daisy-chaining it.

I’d love to find out what these factories look like and what the average employee who builds these boxes lives like. As a pedal historian I think an objective deep dive of this topic would be amazing. Too bad Josh would end up in a prison and Nick would mysteriously vanish while filming in China.

Great Show, you folks are the best. I did not feel an exclamation point was needed.

I have the “big” modulation pedal, the yellow one. It’s great, I haven’t fully explored all it can do. It’s a little annoying that the list of modulations is on the side of the pedal, so when it’s stuck to my board, I can’t see what the different modes are. I had to print out a list which is now another piece of paper on my desk. I wish there was at least an abbreviated description on the front of the pedal. There is room for that. All that said, it’s a great pedal for a great price.

I really dig your drum sound/eq - would love a spin-off episode where you discuss miking and recording your kit!

I need a coffee now after watching this episode! I’ve had a Flamma FS02 Large Reverb pedal for about 2yrs, it’s a really nice sounding reverb pedal, really well built, able to save 7 favourite reverb tones ( 1 for each type of style reverb) cost £65 new in UK, excellent for that low price.And I’ve still got change to go and buy a coffee or two!!

Glad I ordered my Lil’ Green Flamma Mod last weekend, bc Amazon will probably be sold out after this Vid, great work as always Gentlemen!

I’m curious about their audio interface/mixer! Could be the perfect podcasting unit

so when can we buy the "if you stop buying coffee you can have more gear" t-shirt?

You’ve got those drums mic’d up really bloody well.

Got the FS03 delay based on Josh's recommendation - love it. Cheers

“Vacation Minutes” was my old bands future name.

How about a ModTone episode? They fall into that $50 look cool, sound cool, why have they not yet been inflated on Reverb due to a JHS episode category.

This is a really great introduction to the FLAMMA pedals. Think I will be getting more of these in the future, (or maybe today, as they are on discount at Walmart for the Holidays). Just got my FS22 today, and I love it. Also got the Flamma FS05 Modulation pedal. Great combo. On sale at WALMART, with free two day shipping 11/23/2022. FS22 = $80, and FS05 = $60. Here are a few early observations on the FS22... First of all, it sounds amazing. All 3 programs are as described, with no background noise. With the Level controls turned fully clockwise, you still hear the direct input signal. It does not turn down the input, it only adds delay/reverb to the signal. Therefore I would not normally use this, in an effects send/return path in a mixer. It is better used in front of a mono/stereo amp, or in an guitar amp effects loop. Position 1 Reverse delay, has no highs rolled off on the repeats, with the tone control placed after the delays, not in series with the feedback. The other two delays have the tone rolled off on the repeats, so as they repeat they get more rolled off, with each repeat. The reverb and delay, run in parallel, not series. In other words, the reverb does not go through the delay, and the delay does not go through the reverb. They both go directly to the stereo outs. It is true stereo, meaning, there are two separate mono effects, with no cross talk between the left and right signals. Left input goes to left output, and right input goes to right output. Unless you only plug something into the left (mono) input, in which case it goes to both L+R outputs. You can plug a mono input to the Left input, then patch the left output into the right input, and take the right output to your amp. This runs your input signal, through two copies of the Delay and reverb, in mono. Like having two mono pedals in series. Be careful with your amps volume control, because this setup can get intense and go into feedback, if your delay feedback is turned up high. Quick note about the FS05 Modulation pedal.....it is easily the best modulation pedal I have ever played through.

Yep. I have their FSO3 dark blue Delay pedal. There are 6 different effects and a lopper. Really nicely built; coincidentally that 4th effect is my favorite, too. The looper is a bit difficult to use (mainly difficult to reset). “You’ll have to use some vacation minutes or something…”. (Roofle)

I've bought two Flamma pedals. Both failed within minutes. The Ekoverb would work for about two minutes and then needed to be power cycled to work again fo another two. The Modulation sounded broken from the moment it was plugged in and became entirely non functional after about 10 minutes.

This episode had more uses of the 'he has the box' stinger than any other I can recall...but no greenscreen. Not that I condone the use of greenscreen, of course.

Just never stop, really! I want all of those on my new pedal board. Maybe a board for every pedal builder...jus' sayin'. The last jam, your fave, made every member of U2 cry in their pint. The edge? I think he's taking a hammer to his gear. Love what you guys do! Sam

This is the review I was waiting for !

Those little kids in china solder pretty good

I have been considering a flamma micro amp. Flamma for ✊ BAMA

Running drums through a Klon and an Arpanoid is PEAK JHS SHOW.

“Mod Galaxy” took me straight back to my 4th row seat to the Cocteau Twins shows. Yes, the Heaven or Las Vegas tour AND the Four Calendar Cafe tour; SAME seat on the 4th row (first three were for “VIPs”).

What coffee are you drinking for $29 :D
