when he said “I think these are pedals most of you don’t know about” I was hoping the entire video would be different tuners

Josh: 'It's not that expensive.' Internet: 'Now it is!'

Hey everyone! Please check out the full description for info on the gear in this episode, our JHS Show Website, our new Patreon page, and links to gear and the record in Record Time. Thanks for watching!

I get a big grin on my face whenever I see a new video from JHS has been uploaded.

I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer, and this is the highlight of my week seeing one of your videos. Makes being home sick a bit easier.

Man, that Kaleidoscope and Swarm together was just magnificent! And good to see the Shapeshifter getting some love, one of my all-time favorite pedals that doesn't get enough props. Excellent video.

This is what I heard you saying: "You're working...sitting in your cubicle...wishing you were playing guitar..."

Kevin Parker has been a goddamn music genius for 10+ years 🤤. Everything he touches turns to gold.

The first Foo Fighters record is all Dave playing every instrument. It’s my favorite record of theirs and pretty amazing it’s just him

The correct line when introducing a new pedal here should be "these WERE not that expensive..."

The Seymour Duncan Shapeshifter: 4:05 "There's been different forms of this over the years...." Well, there would be wouldn't there!

Look mam I am in the television

My favorite "band" that's just one dude: Mount Eerie, formerly The Microphones. Phil rules. Also that Deadbeat Visible Overdrive looks snazzy and is very affordable...tempting!

If everyone stopped making pedals tomorrow, we would still have more than enough.

You are the king of the Pedal world. Not for your pedals but your enthusiasm and knowledge.

You bring such joy, such fun and that is more good in your own words! Love the channel and look forward to each new video

That decomposer pedal sounds like the beehive I knocked out of a tree yesterday

my favorite band(s) by one guy who does it all, is a Baltimore based band (when touring - one guy in his home studio), @trunkweed, who are self-proclaimed as "transcendental death pop ethereal fuzz slacker dream rock" or something like that. This dude has a CRAZY story about how he got into the diy music industry, and recording, and he does it all: every bit of songwriting, every instrument, all of the sound engineering and recording, mixing, mastering, you name it! They had a pretty significant run for a while, touring all around the US, Canada, and Mexico non-stop for like 4 years, released some vinyl, released some stuff in Japan, and are really interesting all around. The dude's a TOTAL gear-nerd. He's constantly buying, selling, trading, returning, every single possible mic, guitar, preamp, pedal, cymbal, tape deck, keyboard, you name it. He's got a problem. A madman for sure. But the sad part is that he's struggled with some serious mental health and addiction issues for his entire life and hasn't released new music in a couple years now because he's just locked up in his basement making new songs every day. Last time I talked to him he sent me a dropbox folder of all of his finished songs just from that 6 month period and he had literally over 100 completed, INCREDIBLE songs that the world needs to hear! He told me his entire catalogue on his computer (at that time) was around 450 completed songs that he just doesn't know what to do with anymore. I've been trying to help guide him a bit to make the proper steps to get back into it again, but it's tough. All he's ever needed was an agent, or a manager, or someone to do the administrative sort of stuff to help him condense his catalogue and get it released through the proper channels and I, and soooooo sooo many others of his strong following, all think that he could be doing some really huge things in the "industry" if he just knew how to get to that next step of things for a band/songwriter/engineer. You should help him out Andy! IDK what all you know, but at the very least, I know he recently began studying audio electronics and has started making his own pedals, so maybe yall could chat about that! haha. you probably won't even read/see this, but hey, if I can help a body who I, and so many others, feel deserve all the help he can get, then why not post this? eh? Much love brother, love your channel so much!

Great picks Josh, really enjoyed this episode!

Thanks for the shout out on the Park Theatre pedal. I grew up in the Holland area and have played the venue a few times. Awesome venue, awesome pedal, awesome cause.

The Swarm + Kaleidoscope make me smile 😊 what a sound!!

Man...that kaleidoscope and swarm was a WILD ride! thanks! great channel by the way!

Superb! Thanks for taking the tome to chase down all these unique goodies saving me all the time! You’re too kind sir!

These pedals are fantastic. I love your work at JHS and I can’t wait to get one of your pedals.

By the way, love the format of this video! This way, you get to hear these pedals both clean (with a bit of luck), and in context with a bit of modulation, but it does not feel as if you are watching a shopping list of sorts... very smooth!

Currents is so good!! Stoked to see what the new album is going to sound like. The singles are very house/disco. Should be interesting. Favorite solo band has got to be Mac Demarco. All of his records are solid even if some take a few listens before it all comes together. By the way, just found your channel recently and have watched so much. The fact that you take the time to make these is amazing. Some JHS pedals have been added to my wish list for sure!!

Nice selection of pedals, most of which I didn't know. Thanks. As for one-man-bands, I have to acknowledge the master - Todd Rundgren. So many of his great 70's albums were just him, recording all the parts and harmonizing with himself.

Nice! The brown with reverb and the big orange verb combo were great! Mercury 7 combo was another super cool combo.

One of my earliest memories is seeing "the black cauldron" at Park theater and since then have made many of my best memories there. Thank you!

I was an intern at the Park Theatre back in college! Such a cool place and pedal!

Love your vids. So much detail and description

That decomposer and marshmallow combo sounds like the soundtrack for bugs eating a rotting corpse

I learn so much from your vids! Keep up the great work!

Hell yes! thank you for giving the Caline Orange a shoutout. Ive had one on my board for almost 2 years now. Not only a great sounding OD but a perfect boost also

Very interesting variety, thanks for the upload.

Another excellent vid! Love hearing your demos and perspectives on the pedals! Two solo bands that instantly come to mind are Of Montreal, indie rock project of Kevin Barnes. Check out Hissing Fauna Are You Destroyer. He recorded and produced the album himself and it sounds incredible. Another solo artist that comes to mind is Grimes. She recorded and produced the album Art Angels by herself (with a few guests) but basically plays every instrument herself on the album and even learned how to play guitar for the album, very creative and over the top pop music with a few songs that rock out

I love the Swarm so much. I won one from Beetronics a couple months back and it makes me giggle every time I plug it in

Awesome episode, Josh. The deadbeat was a great surprise and it was awesome to see Thorpy getting a shout-out. Cheers, mate PS- as for the artist, I'll go with The Tallest Man on Earth.

Hey Josh, is it possible to do an episode in the future about Pedal design? A video about other brands, your own line of pedals and showing us what comes in to play when you're doing graphics, where you get parts, etc. Its just an idea. So far, a big thumbs up for all the amazing videos you've given us so far!

Glad you mentioned the Meris mercury 7 borrowing it off pedal genie and I needed a reminder to experiment more with it this week and dig deep into it before I send it back

Man the Specular Reverb and the Protein!!! I've seen both on ThatPedalShow but they don't get as much love on this side of the pond... great pedals!

Awesome episode, as usual, thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! Since you had a pedal from germany on the show and all jptr fx are pretty amazing (wait for the antiwave!!!) my recommendation for the „one guy band“ is also from germany: it’s „get well soon“

Oh good. I've been waiting on this video. Thanks 😎

Every JHS videos are worth watching that is why I..?! I click LIKE before watching. That's how good it is. Informative with a splash of humor.😎

Oh. My. God. That Swarm pedal just blew me away. I WILL have that on my pedalboard. I WILL. 🔥

Thanks for teaching us about pedals Boss!

Love seeing you double up on pedals. I know you did a stacking video already, but I'm always interested to hear nifty combinations. So, uh.... synth episode? *ducks the volley of shoes and patch cables*

i’ve been waiting for this record time!

I appreciate you hyping the park theater pedal. It's such a great venue. I hope we can keep it around a lot longer.

So pumped to see Meris getting some love. And favorite band/actually one person is definitely Pedro The Lion/Dave Bazan

Tod Rundgren made more than a few one man albums. And YES! The Meris Mercury7. Awsome!

Boy howdy, yur out there buddy. Gotta love it though. Good video, as usual.

Love this channel!!

Self - super underrated artist post grunge. One man band that’s really good.

so I love my kaleidoscope jptr is awesome.that paring with the swarm was definitely enticing. been wanting beetronics but you know how such decisions go. echoman ive been watching for days. just gonna say I like your show. keep it up.

Never heared of Tame Impala before - and now I'm just about to become a massive fan! Thanx for that, Josh!!

I’ve had the Ohmless Lorena overdrive for almost four years and owned their Solana overdrive too. Marc is a super nice guy, amazing German engineering, and some amazing sounding pedals. Big Ohmless fan here.

Check out the new album by "Djo." It's the dude who plays Steve on Stranger Things. He did the whole album himself and it's wicked dope.

Happy that beetronics got a feature! Absolutely adore their pedals, the circuit boards are also honeycomb style!

The Marshmallow pedal sounded like Yoko Ono singing her original songs. The Kaleidoscope & Swarn sounded interesting though. The specular was spectacular.

we need a whole series of Pedals You Need To Know!!

Another great show. Thanks

Yes Josh I have the Caline Big Orange...& you're 100% correct it's a great pedal for sure;

Really liked the Yellowcake sound. Just snagged one for $60. Deal Of The Day !! When you hit that G chord, I was sold !

I love your channel man.

As a musician in southwest Michigan, I was real excited to see the Park Theatre echo-reverb on here.

The Thorpy FX Peacekeeper sounds like it belongs on a killer guitar track on an amazing song. All the pedals are great, though. Awesome video, Josh!

That blues jam around 15:10 or so waszz... damn cool Josh!!

Great episode...when I saw the intro the first thing that popped into my head was Seymour Duncan, a company that makes some great pedals but nobody seems to give a chance because they're not cool and booteek enough. The Shapeshifter is a fantastic trem that beats out much more expensive examples in my book, and in stereo! The only thing it doesn't offer is a harmonic option, but it's got a variable control between 3 wave shapes...and you got yourself the version with The Thing artwork, drool! I'm guessing they got in trouble for stealing that and had to stop...

You keep showing me pedals I already knew about! :)

I swear to god when he said “you’re into the episode, you’re eating some chips right now.” I had a whole handful in my mouth and spit half them out. I’m still shook lol

The Less I Know The Better has one of the sexiest bass lines of the 21st century, Currents is worth just that song alone

Love the new intro!

Just bought the big orange!! Thanks for the recommendation!

Kevin Parker is a pure genius! And speaking of solo acts who do it all... I am a solo artist writing, recording and mixing heavy rock/metal. Although it’s a tough job done it’s easily the most rewarding experience I have to date.

The swarm sounds like everything the Blue Box wishes it could be. It's genuinely beautiful.

Josh, your channel is dangerous. Just bought the dead beat invisible overdrive and the JPTR FX Kaleidoscope 🙈😂

I’d love to see a reverb pedal modeled after the Cowboy Junkies’ Trinity Sessions.

You should do this every six months or so. Its interesting and helpful.

That Fried Gold sounds amazing, man!

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - he's so cool and has made a whole range of different styles all by himself

Will Toledo for the longest time ran Car Seat Headrest as a solo project

Favorite One Man Band, Intervals. Aaron Marshal is a genius with some of the most impeccable phrasing I've ever heard.

congrats NICK !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just ordered the CALINE Big Orange. Thanks JOSH!

Pre-ordered Currents when it was announced! Love the album and the two before it! Kevin is a big inspiration like Stevie Wonder on playing everything myself!

Gosh darnnit I think this is my fave episode so far!! I love it when this show gets a little of it's freak on. Single artist: Sparklehorse - probably my favourite dead genius

regarding Tame Impala...I was slow to join the party....but it was the super warm synth's that brought me into the family. Such more good sounds. Of all the live shows I saw last year, Tame's was the most impressive. His use of lighting takes his music to an entirely different level. Any my lord does his love that big, fat, swooshy flange that you can get in the studio. Wweeeoosssshhh.

Great video as always, but man, I really just want details on that triple P90 Fender man, so cool.

My favorite “band” that is only one person is EDEN, amazing and unique guitar work along with EDM influences, so good.

Great pedals, great riffs.

I like Tame Impala when I hear the on the radio, but I can never find them in my record shop. Probably sell out too quick. Favorite band of one person is Washed Out. Life of Leisure is a fabulous EP, but even Mister Mellow is really good after a few spins.

That visible overdrive is amazing the other guitarist in my band uses it along with an SL drive into a H&K tubemeister screaming punk tone for days

Also check out Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water and Red Panda Particle. Awesome video!

That guitar sounds amazing (pedals are pretty impressive too!)

I have the Kaleidoskop Reverb Pedal, bought about 2 years ago. It’s a fantastic reverb, where you can do from small reverb to weird fun settings. And it looks dope. It’s German small company called JPTR, Jupiter spoken.

some of the gooderest pedals I've seen in a while. I love the decomposer and the bee thing.

That Howard Davis DMM mini is a God sent great thing

I’d have the Swarm on my board, I just can’t afford it.... Also, that Marshmallow one reminds me of the Rainbow Machine

favorite episodes of all
