Never thought Josh's comedy existentialism would hit so close to home.

I’m enjoying this new more antagonistic iteration of Josh, it’s like watching a super-villain origin story unfold in real time.

When I was 17 I went to a pub in Hereford (near the boarder of Wales) to meet a man about a pedal. At the bar I met an old east London geezer who felt more like a character from a Guy Ritchie film than an actual human being. Out of a massive bag he had slung over his back he pulled out a huge, plastic, display pedalboard made for a trade show or something. On it was the whole range of Dan Electro Wasabi pedals. He said to me "mate you can make any bloody sound you want in the world on these!" I said "Have you played them?" he said "No". Now I had never seen pedals that looked anything like this in my life, the board looked like a miniature model from Thunder Birds. He said "it's your's for 100 quid", I said "No" He said "come on geeza! 75?" I said "No'. Do I regret this decision? YES.

"Nick, you're under appreciated."

that Denelectro looks like the love child of the Star Wars Land Speeder and a 1955 Cadillac. I love it.

My Casket better have the same serial number they tattoo on my wrist. "HE HAS THE BOX!"

I like Josh’s existential crisis arc, reminds me that things always change and they’ll most likely bum you out……another great episode!

I remember those wasabi pedals. The crowd that danelectro appealed to (budget players) thought those pedals were too expensive and everybody else wasn't interested in them bc it was a danelectro pedal

Josh: "on today's episode-" Me: "THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD ONE"

Proud owner of a Seymour Duncan Tweak Fuzz (acquired it in a trade; said goodbye to the Big muff pi for the final time). I love how Josh uses the same setting that I use for the first part of the jam before the sad part

this is rapidly becoming my favourite KZfaq channel. I laugh. I cry. It moves me. Oh, yeah, and the pedals are pretty cool, too, especially the Double Drive. And Josh? It's gonna be okay.

If I had a nickel for every time Josh Scott told me something was my fault, I'd have some change in my pocket going jingla-linga-ling

I never thought I'd have an existential crisis while watching a show about guitar pedals...

I literally went to Reverb as I was watching the video and bought a TweakFuzz. Well played sir…..well played. I’m not even a “Fuzz” guy!

Addison is killing it with the drum mix.

Speaking about Tech 21, their Randy Bachman Signature American Woman fuzz is just criminally underrated!

“Some of you are amazing, but it didn’t work out like you thought, but you know someday, someone is going to pull you out of a box and talk about you” wow thanks Josh I really needed to hear that today 🥲

I think that hands down, THE most underappreciated pedal was, and still is, the Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive. There was period where for years and years during the 90s and 2000's if you wanted the classic TS808 Tube Screamer you had to either buy the Ibanez reissue for $180, a vintage one for several hundred, or an overpriced boutique model. However, those who were willing to do just a tiny bit of research would have discovered that the Sparkle Drive was an exact clone of the TS808, but with a wet/dry blend control. Voodoo Labs advertised it as "being able to sound like playing through 2 amps." Now we know it really works to add your dry tone in for added clarity. Why no one bought these is beyond me, since it's really the perfect 808 Tube Screamer. Most use TS to add a little gain and push the front of the amp, as well as to add midrange for solos so you can cut through the mix. No one uses it as the "drive" channel on a single channel amp. Well, at least no one who's played long enough and have enough experience to know that it's not really designed for that. Using it for what people tend to use it for, you'd think that between the fact that it's half the price of the TS808 RI, and a LOT cheaper than the other options, combined with the ability to dial your clean in would mean that most people who use tube screamer would instead use one of these. Yet, I still rarely see them on pedalboards. I don't get it. They've changed the design and call it Sparkle Drive Mod now, I think it's the 808 with a couple of the more popular Keeley mods. They're still affordable and you can still but the old ones used for a song (literally and metaphorically), plus I predict these will be a pedal that inexplicably sells for was too much online at some point.

Josh, the videos are awesome, taught me a lot, but I'm mainly commenting to say your playing has gotten so much better since you started the show. Keep going man, much love.

that Tech 21 is rad. I'd love to see this series continue - I love Josh's take on underrated pedals.

Josh, Honestly, you sound like a man who needs something in his life...something like... a new guitar, a new pedal...and a new amp. For sure. I mean, that makes me smile, you know?

I can't express in words how much I appreciate Josh and the JHS crew putting on these videos. Amazing pedals, and I remember the Danelectro Wasabi. The rest slipped by my my radar... Good jams, and thank you all!

Hey Josh, loving the spring classics t-shirt. You may be the only other person I ‘know’ that shares my combined hobbies of guitar pedals, road cycling and Star Wars. Keep up the good work.

It’s amazing how you pull off these episodes! I can watch them all day long. Very informative and entertaining! I was never into pedals, but now I might buy some. Got a wishlist ready to go.

I learn something new every time I watch this channel. Thank you for your musical suggestions, always good stuff!

Dude who has all those Plumes pedals on Pedalboards of Doom just started drooling when Josh started opening up the Double Drives.

Wow! Great episode. The Tweak Fuzz sounds way better than I was lead to believe. Those Wasabi Pedals deserve an episode all their own. I always expect good things from Tech 21.

Sad Town's a suburb of Dad Town. LOL, as a pedal nerd Dad in a garage post rock band, this rang true! Josh's on-going existential crisis aside, keep doing what you do guys. You bring a lot of joy to the world!

Good jams dude, real good jams...

Josh you're a great sport and you have one of the best channels on youtube that we all enjoy and look forward to seeing. Thank you .

I love your t-shirt. The 3 first races are just around the corner here. Oh, and I love your channel. Inspiring! TNX!!!

Nick is the best here, "It's getting kinda dark, go to record time."

Thanks for cobbling together some classics.

Josh Scott, under appreciated comedy genius of the pandemic age! Thank you Josh, Addison and Nick for keeping me sane! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

"one day someone will pull you out of a box and talk about you" genuinely made me tear up a little bit ngl

Grrrrreat vid Josh! You are a riot. Thanks for all the kind words about the Double Drive. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. It really did sound incredible. Maybe we should think about reissuing it...???

Thanks for this one, it’s gold!

Nice jams, great video ! I have the SD Tweak Fuzz and i love it ! It was my first fuzz pedal, and every guitar player knows the importance of the first fuzz pedal :P

That segment with Josh checking the serial numbers of the pedals against the box and then concluding with "if a pedal doesn't have a box, it's pointless," is basically me on Reverb. Also, I winced pretty hard at then end when Josh just casually chucked the box for the fairly rare pedal off camera.

Rotary selectors definitely make pedals gooder; add toggle switches (for like in-flange and out-of-flange and stuff like that), and it would be freakin’ awesome! Edited to add the hierarchy of pedal awesomeness: No knobs < 2 knobs < 4 knobs < (multi knobs + rotaries) < (knobs + rotaries + toggles) …and so forth. The more kinds of controls = the more awesomeness. Pretty straight forward…

I love you guys. I find myself watching ur posts all the time, and ur musical, and I don’t even own an effects pedal. I just know u guys make me smile and laugh. We all need more of that in our lives. I even started using “Wurdz iz hard” when my mouth is struggling to communicate what my brain is thinking. Thank you for what u do!

You guys just seriously crack me up. Thanks for that.

I love his cycling related tshirts.

Great show as always.

Loving the spring classics t-shirt Josh. I'm looking forward to Paris-Roubaix on Sunday

The Double Drive was one of the first drive pedals I bought when I got back into guitar after a 17-year hiatus. Stacked into an OCD v.1, or my AC Booster it just sounds ace. Does Led Zep II tones really well (and more :) ) Tech 21 is underrated, period. Their Rotochoir and the Boost DLA V.2 (the one with subdivision switch, trails) are fantastic. Any of the Vick Audio drive pedals (Mount Pleasant, Tree of LIfe, V-2 Distortion) should be famous.

Loved this episode Josh!

I started working at guitar center around 2010 in accessories and we had the full line of these first run Seymour Duncan pedals and I'm not exaggerating when I say NO ONE wanted these pedals - we ended up clearing out the full line and I got the Shape Shifter tremolo for $17 dollars, still got it

I so love the Seymour Duncan Tweak Fuzz. Bought one on a whim when they first came out and haven't regretted the decision since... and I still have the box. 😁

Great ep....more like this please

Josh, I really enjoyed that first solo. It was quite catchy and melodic. Nice job, man!

That's a great shirt, Josh! Good to see you are supporting pedals on bikes too 😉

You are a real cowboy Josh. Every time you come into town, the saloon goes nuts

Today I walked into guitar center for some strings. Saw a tweakfuzz in the used case and thanks to this episode i knew to grab it. Thanks Josh!

This episode is a cure for my depression. Josh is the best! Nick you're awesome too!

Nice shirt. Stoked for tomorrow and Sunday!

The most watchable videos for guitarists on KZfaq, somehow as educational as Tim Pierce, as funny as the first time you saw Sean of the Dead - Josh has it all - even the OK Computer voice was flawless.

So, I only own 1 pedal (DV Mark Tube Marker) but find myself fascinated by this channel....especially considering you talk so kindly about products of your 'competitors' - awesome

The wasabi was really cool, that whole series was cool. My guitarists dad had this and an ibanez overdrive when I was a teen and loved playing it through his Mesa Studio Caliber .22. The double drive was cool from tech 21 too.

man , if i was ever depressed, i'd start watching a bunch of jhs pedal-shows. i loved all the music, when i heard the last one i thought, hey, Josh has been listening to a bunch of nirvana just like me because it was on the news that nevermind has been out for 30 years now.

Excellent episode, and at points I nearly cried. Especially in that first jam. Tour of Flanders is not my idea of a tour, and I haven't got the box but I've heard Travis and they were quite good, and while I never thought to buy one of their records, I'm now planning to check them out, especially as they're Scots and therefore better people.

Hey J ☺😎 Oh Wow... I'd Have to Say.. You Got Me on Those 3.. Lovin That Wasabi Delay... And Great Jams to Guys ☺☺😎💯

The whole Greek tragedy with the box had me on the edge of my seat! If that wasn't resolved I never would have gotten to sleep!

Your channell is the only thing in my life I look foward to every week. You are worthy of love Josh. And Nick is great too.

Another great video. I really like when you demo the pedals with a drummer and bass, as I play in a band, I don't noddle at home so it's nice to hear it in a real live mix. BTW the drummer is excellent!

Damn first time I've seen the tweak fuzz featured on anything other than that proguitarshop demo by Andy. That "I think I lost my headache" by Queens of the Stone Age intro sold me in a second, bought it second hand on craigslist like 12 years ago!

I was always surprised the tweak fuzz didn't become a staple like swollen pickle. it seemed destined for success.

The dad jam was not only my favorite jam on this video but on any of your videos. Very entertaining from time to time. Peace.

I modded a tweek fuzz with a pair of bc109s, and the" volume" mod about 10 years ago. Still rock it as it rocks

YES, the Wasabi Delay! * insert 'The Office Thank You' GIF * Ok, the volume knob may be too sensible for some settings, but it's a great pedal and I love it.

The wasabi pedal kicks ass! Sounds amazing!! Thanks for sharing these pedals!

Josh: Nick, you're underappreciated Nick: Thanks

The wasabi pedals were so good. Plus there’s a secret switch (battery compartment)

Nick’s direction was the highlight of this video for me. Awesome job!

Aah the classics... love the shirt Josh ! Ride on.

Your madness nourishes me. Thank you.

Love my Tweak Fuzz! (the second pedal I ever owned) I had it modded to add a second foot switch that jumps from whatever the tone dial was set to (3 or 4), to max whoof position (6)

Nice octave jam Josh!!

Love when josh talks about some of my favorite under appreciated things! I love the tech 21 double drive! I have a red one, and I have the box! Also Travis is awesome!!!

bruh i swear to god that josh gets a kick from finding obscure pedals with low prices and making videos that give them exposure and raise in price

Josh and Friends! Watching your video led me to remember the “Four Gentlemen” in traditional Chinese art. Each of these represent a season and a quality of an individual’s character: the plum blossoms in winter (reflects strength of character in harsh conditions); the grass orchid for spring, this particular orchid is hard to see because it is often hidden under tall grass (reflects a good character that is there even though not seen or appreciated by others); the bamboo for summer bends in the wind but does not break (reflects good character even though things are going against them); and the chrysanthemum blooms in autumn (reflects a person whose character/wisdom blossoms late in life). Regardless of how the world treats us or our fortunes we should all strive to have good character symbolized by the “Four Gentlemen”

Tech 21 made a lot of cool pedals. There was also a 6 knob version of the Double Drive, the XXL overdrive, the Tri OD, with 3 drive and level knobs for the Tweed, California, and British circuits, instead of a single set of controls and the switch that toggles between the three, as on the GT2. There was also the Boost series, with the OD/Boost, Plex/Boost, Delay/Boost, and Reverb/Boost. And, also the Randy Bachman, Geddy Lee, and Ritchie Kotzen signature pedals

Damn... You're right. It has been a stressful week. Thanks man.

Super dope solo on that tweak fuzz jam.

More existential problem seeking! Haha, it was a lot of fun watching this ep.

I worked at Guitar Center in NYC in 2005 and I remember that Tweak fuzz pedal. Nobody gave it a second look.

You need to review the Boss ME range! The ME 70 is so great. I love it. Great show, keep up the great stuff, whatever, you know, jolly good , etc.

Noting that the shirt reminds me that strangely, Paris Roubaix is this weekend, and I am very psyched!

Got the Tweak Fuzz and the Double Drive. Amazing sounding, inspiring pedals. I encourage anyone interested in them to try and get ahold of em while they're cheap.

completely not pedal related, but in 2000 I went to Belgium and saw 3 of the 4 races on Josh's shirt. Fantastic races and an amazing country

Favorite Jamm...second part of the first Jamm, very nice Jazz..! Nick was great on de Drums..!

That dad jam DID start out great, I was like ooooh what is this??? Then I was like oh what IS this???

Nick, thank you so much for the mercy cut right before Record Time. It was really time someone put Josh out of his misery.

Great t-shirt Josh!

That was great...the genuine relief when he found the right pedal for the box.

My favorite jam is that awesome spring classics t-shirt. But also the sad town jam was really good.

I've had the Black Double Drive on my board for 15 years. It's been there for several different styles of music played. Greatest of pedals!

I agree completely about Travis & the duncan tweak fuzz. Travis live at the palace is pretty fantastic.

Had a friend about 16 years ago that had a pedal board of the older Dano pedals, they were thinking about getting some of the newer line where the Wasabi came from, but they ultimately kept the board all older pedals because they just liked them.

these are definitely some of the best jams you have done good sir
