The guitar center overstock is sitting in a hole next to all the E.T. Atari cartridges.

I could watch 100 episodes like this in a row.. Great content guys!!! 👍🏼

"So, if you're a failure, you might change the world later... after you're discontinued" Nick and Josh raising my Christmas spirits

When I was 16 I got a space station for $25 at guitar center. I used it a ton in my first band.

The Space Station is hands down my favorite pedal of my collection. I purchased mine in 98' or 99' from my local guitar store for 50% off the retail price. They were very happy for me to take it. The synth patches were the precursor to shimmer verbs. The reverse warp is shoegaze magic. I have recorded with it on hip hop records, shoegaze, electronic, and post rock. I feel very honored to have one as it has provided many opportunities for me to work with all kinds of artists due to its unique sound pallet. Digitech should make a small form factor version like the Ricochet with an expression pedal input jack. I feel like the Meris ENZO is an ode to the Space Station. Over 20 years with this thing and I still have not exhausted its possibilities.

I'm dearly hoping this is related to some announcement of a reissue.

This channel has made me learn about and love Tom Cram. That guy seems like he is genuine every second of his life.

Was just thinking how much I missed this type of content from y’all. I know it’s a ton of work, but it’s much appreciated!

If JHS ever makes a “Synth Station” pedal based solely on the Synth effects from the Space Station, I’ll buy it for sure!

Nobody mentioning Nick Reinharts use of this pedal on the Tera Melos album X'ed Out or any Tera Melos live show from 2013 to like 2015 is insane. His use of the Space Station is inspiring, and what got me interested in this cool pedal in the first place.

I've just started watching this episode and I hope it's a good review. I bought a Space Station when they first came out and practically made my musical career with that puppy. I still love it's weirdness. Crazy expensive, back in the day, too.

Don't forget folks, the XP-300's Synth Swell setting lived on in the Digitech EX-7 Expression Factory. You could control Pitch Shift, Chorus/Pitch Balance, and Swell Attack Time.

Great format and wonderful content as always. And Belle's expressions during the Alien section was hilarious! Peace

That number 8 synth setting is honestly how I want my guitar to sound all the time.

If you can track down Cooper FX Arcades pedal (unfortunately also discontinued) there is a Space Station card for this. Several other of the cards feature sounds from the Space Station too. Amazing pedal from the guy who now does all the complex DSP work for Chase Bliss. Unlike the original Space Station, the Arcades version also allows for fairly deep editing. A sleeper.

One of the best pedals ever conceived, years ahead of its time. Wrote and recorded numerous songs with this pedal (patch 8), in my youth to mid 20s was my signature sound. People would always ask me "how do you get that sound" at shows. Thanks for hopefully hailing a reissue in with the hype train, or worst case increasing the value of the originals even more.

I remember getting a space station for Christmas when I was 14 , I absolutely loved it especially the string sounds. Pure fun! If only I could find that old thing.

Glad to see content like this from you all at JHS again, and awesome playing so many talented musicians at JHS

Great stuff guys! Fun. That "please dont" reaction right off the start was hilarious😂

One of my favourite bands My Vitriol used this pedal a lot on their album Finelines, and probably elsewhere. Iconic

love this, you are killing it. So much fun!

Saw the Space Station on a video about Tom Morello’s live rig. The thing has to run on a separate mixer channel because it’s too NOISY compared to the rest of his board (Digitech Whammy and a bunch of Boss Pedals) Edit: I picked up a Digitech Nautila, it’s a chorus/flanger (there’s a switch on top that I wish was a footswitch) with a ridiculous amount of selectable stages for both. It also has concentric knobs, so one knob can be two knobs.

Alien 26 sounds amazing! Laughed out loud when they cut to him standing on the desk.

Aw man I wish this was an old school Josh/Nick/Addison video, just for the jams. But this was awesome.

Pretty sure a sizeable portion of your audience would love nothing more than to hear you talk for an hour about pedals like the spacestation (ideally in the same format as the Lamb series vid). Never change

I have two of these (one still in the plastic). I’m pretty sure Billy Corgan and James Iha used the Space Station on a few tracks from the Adore record. Still one of the coolest pedals in my collection.

The warp function is incredible.

Really enjoyed this video format. I never played this pedal, but I do enjoy all of the sounds in the Cooper FX Satellite card. Thank you for continuing to highlight amazing gear and pedals. Sidenote: I love my 3 Series Oil Can Delay.

Great video! Very fun and infromative! 🤟🔥🤟

LOVE this kind of content! Well done!

I'm happy to say I've finally found a mint Space Station that was lost in a pile of boxes in my garage.

Loving this video format!!!

Man, your videos are always top notch in terms of production value.

I bought one of these, and the XP-400 Reverberator pre-owned for £30 each back in 1999, also a Sunn Model T for £350 because nobody liked them & even secondhand music shops couldn't get rid of them - plus I was a teenager on a budget. All of that gear along with huge sounding Fuzz pedals, delays and reverbs etc. got me to play Blade Runner inspired very heavy, dropped tuned Doom and Drone. Having that stuff blast through a 4x12 or two is insane & it's thanks to gear like this that nobody wanted and mocked to the heavens when they did try it. The trick is... Play it all how it's not to be played, think outside of the box. I would bet on the people who mocked these FX pedals went on to praise and purchase gear from the likes of EQD et al.

Loving the format of this

Great episode, thank you!

Great videos, great demoes!!!

Great video! I love the format and production quality on it! I have a digitech Hyper Phase on my board, and it sounds very reminiscent of some of the effects from the "alien" mode.

Great episode, I didn’t know about that pedal! Super sweet history

Love the editing in the JHS show, especially on the last videos.

cool video of a wacked out pedal. Reminded me of my GR-33 synth. Really enjoyed the different format as well, well done!

I can see the bitcrushing residue on the tip of that shoe... epic man.

Always wanted one of these things, great quick Lil video

I need more Legend or Mistake

2:28 shout out to my local music shop! My wife appreciates you!

Tom Cram is a Living Pedal Treasure.

This is a good one. Please do more videos like this.

Cooper FX came out with a pedal called Arcades. It takes cartridges to change its functions (delay, reverb, pitch shift ect.) One of the cartridges is called Satellite and it's meant to be a faithful recreation of the space station. It's super fun. Might be able to find one used as it's been discontinued.

Amazing Doc. Please make more pedal review/documentaries. Saved

Muy divertido el episodio !! Saludos from South América !!

I always wanted one of those. I was a teenager. All of my money went towards rent, car, and motorcycle. I would've had to order it through the mail where I lived at the time. We did not have a Guitar Center back then. I had DOD Overdrive, Flanger, and Wah/Volume pedals at the time.

I always wanted one of these for my acoustic but Ill never be able to afford it. Luckily I get to watch this and see how wonderful this piece of art sounds. Thanks for giving this the attention it deserves

Nick and Belle! This is fantastic 🙌

I have one . Bought it as new. Came with me all over london. It still works :) I used the synth with drive . Huge sound

I had all 4 of the XPs, I miss those systems dearly. They were SO unique and capable. I would be all over reissues.

So awesome, I truly don't think I would have stuck with guitar if not for my trusty DigiTech RP50 back in the day! I was finally able to add distortion and play with effects. I remember thinking "who the hell needs pedals and amps when you have this thing!?"

So awesome!

I bought an ex7 back in 2007, had a taste of the xp300 in it, and I’ve wanted one ever since. Heard a lot of the xp300’s broke originally.

My friend used one of these on electric violin. Still has it. Sounded great! Still does.

My buddy had one but everyone dogged it saying Digitechs sucked. He got it on clearance and thought it had a lot of cool sounds. I agreed. Seemed neat to me. I forgot all about that until seeing this video. Thanks for making this one! :)

I have the Digitech Expression Factory, it is a sort of multi effects pedal but it has the space station synth swell as one of its options! It doesn’t have the other modes from the space station pedal though. But I LOVE IT. I actually got it as a bassist and the synth swell stuff sounds heavenly on a bass. The ONLY thing I wish I could change about it would be to have a wider sweep of the foot rocker for when using the wah mode, maybe that could be modded? I’m not sure but it’s great. I recommend it, it does have a non standard power supply though, but my pedal power has an outlet on it, so that makes it work.

I remember seeing those all the time in the old Musician's Fiend catalog when I was younger but never encountered one at a store.

I remember seeing ads for this in Guitar World which was my favorite of several guitar magazines I read every month DAMN the 90s were a wild time.

This video rocks, both hosts are killing it

I was in a band all through the 90s and worked in a local little music store. Midwestern Musical Company. I saw lots of digitech stuff come in. People were not ready for a lot of it. I bought quite a few digitech pedals. One of my favorites being the PDS8000. I never bought a space station, but I was buying digitech before it was cool to buy digitech...lol

Have always loved mine. Definitely and odd one. But damn you guys make it sound even better!

Really great production quality attention to detail and tight scripting! Josh's geeky rants and passion got me into pedals for the first time, but this is a whole new beast. The interview quality and placement of the quotes? Chef's kiss. Are you guys going to do less of just Josh talking about lines of pedals? Those were what got me watching in the first place, but I get it. I don't like change, but you guys are obviously working hard.

I'm here for the family jams! That reverse warp one sounds super modern in a lofi jazzy beats kinda way

LOVE THIS VIDEO! Wes Anderson meets some of the better parts of Pulp Fiction.

ln 2011 i bought an "xp-1000" which had all 4 of the xp series in one. i assume it's a bootleg of the algorithms in the same chassis, with a rotary for the different pedals. they were all cool, but the space station was the one i used the most. i lost it in a fire in 2014. i still cry about it while I dream of a reissue with parameter knobs, an envelope/lfo section, and assignable expression,

Don’t aim to succeed, Aim to be Discontinued

E-bowed guitar into Digitech Space Station into Lexicon Vortex into Alesis Wedge.

Tom Cram himself said this pedal ain't coming back. The String Swell Strings is 100% retrowave. It sounded fantastic.

I knew how special the Space Station was when it first arrived, I'd go to Guitar Center JUST to play it. Amazing and sad this was a commercial failure...and of course they're worth HUNDREDS now because of course

I love this sound. It is a true space robotic unicorn.

Cracking video. Love Digitech.

I saw a post rock band use one of these things around 2006 or 2007, and I've been obsessed ever since. Someone should bring it back if DigiTech/DOD dont want to!

#8 YES!! Mine lives on that setting. Love it.

Darn, wish I had bought one when they were piled up in the warehouse! 🎸😎

Used the red XP 100 for decades... the weird Digitech 90s digital aliasing noises is engraved in my brain forever

I was fortunate enough to pick one of these up at a kind of pawn shop/trading post for $45 around 2015. Guy didn't know what he had. Couldn't find a use for it so I ended up selling it for 150 to a different pawn shop

Words to live by "If you're a failure, you might change the world later .. After you're discontinued" .. Might need to get this quote done up as a neck tattoo

Does anybody else remember like in 2004 somebody was selling EPROMs flashed with Space Station settings? You could turn any XP into one with an EPROM swap. And so any XP pedal started going for $150 just so you could drop $50 in mods into it to avoid buying a $300 pedal. I always thought unmolested XP units not the Space Station would be rare because of that.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that smells new pedals in the box.

Loved this pedal! We used to own one with my first band (never knew who really owned it), and we used it for vocal effects, it really helped us experiment with some weird sounds, even if we basically didn't know what we were doing. But very very funny

Holy shit, Warp #10 is amazing. When is JHS gonna make just that as a stand alone? Does anyone make that as a stand alone?

Fantastic video, I love it. Belle's facial expressions speak volumes, not gonna lie. 😀

One of my favorite pedals

Can’t wait for the JHS release. Hopefully it’s not too expensive though.

Nice presentation. Very interesting. Never heard of it, but it seems to do everything you could ever want in an effects pedal. It's like a whole synth, but with a guitar as one of the oscillators.

I’m hearing serious Sneaker Pimps on the warp setting #10 ❤️

The Warp section jam got real Groove Armada and I love it

i dig your framed wish you were here poster :)

Alexander syntax error paired with an expression pedal gets you to most of these places.

#10 is my absolute favorite. Anything into #10 sounds amazing when used interactively. Instant weird ambient. Just add a folding table and you are prepared to play in the corner of any art gallery opening.

Nice episode. Interesting pedal. Hmmm Might even make a comeback.

So cool to hear one of my favorite nineties bands and guitarists, Collective Soul and Ross Childress, mentioned in relation to this pedal!

I bought this pedal for $175 in 1998 and loved it for many years.... Pretty sure I fried the input with a theremin It was so great with my theremin. Lost it in a storage unit 20 years ago when I could afford being an adult

I bought one of these used in the original box off of someone on Craigslist over 15 years ago for $200. Used it for a while and it was fun, but there were two issues for me that made me decide to sell it. 1: I was lazy and didn't want to build a bypass box for it to resolve the awful high end tone suck it had. 2: There were only a few usable settings for anything I played for the amount of pedal board space it took up. That said, it was a fun pedal to have and a joy to play through for fun. At the end of the day, I made a solid profit from selling it and now I have the sounds I was loving from pedals that benefited from all of the hard work and engineering that went into this oddball effects pedal.

Tom Morello uses one live and I believe it was used in a few songs he recorded.
