Nice! You showed my Orange Squeezer! I bought that at Harmony Music in Reseda CA back in the early 80s (might have been 79' or so). My buddy Paul traded it for me to Josh for a pedal. I knew it was going to a good home, but I never expected it to show up in a video!

I've had that since high school (class of 81'). And would pull it out occasionally. I don't know what happened to the lid, but I noticed that the receipt was in the bottom of the box when I pulled it out last year to send to Josh.

[@spencergrant4742]

This was the pedal that got me intrigued about what these little magic boxes can do. My drummer borrowed one from another guitarist and told me "it will just make your guitar sound better, I dunno why, just try it". Hooked it up, strummed a chord and I was stunned. Just like Nick, I started turning knobs. Saved up and got one, it's truly great, on anything: electric, acoustic, weissenborn (knock off), bass, doesn't matter. It handles and brings the right options to your fingertips and now I've got a better idea of why. Thanks for the videos as always, and contrary to the builders hints, some people use the dirt switch! I immediately noticed it was a sweet bonus option, though I didn't know it was a rat until the pack rat came out and that was mentioned! Just thought it was a good ol dirt to my ears:)

Hilarious that Addison apologized to the bassists for using DI instead of an amp. We probably are way more sympathetic about going DI than the guitarists are.

Wow, great job. Definitely the first time a JHS show episode has legit surprised me.

It's easy to tell that the best of these episodes come when you guys are really into and inspired by the piece(s) of gear being discussed and this one was aces top to bottom. The jams, the tones, the conversation, the drum faces (Addison wins), it was all superlative. 🍻💯

Something worth knowing about the Pulp'n'Peel for all the low end friends: it works brilliantly as a one-stop shop for a slap preset. Bass boosted, compressor up, volume matched and blend at 3 o'clock. Also, imagine contemplating getting a rat pedal for your bass board only to discover a) that you already have one, b) that it already has a blend knob, and c) that you're using it as a slap preset...

I love the "everything done for you" compression knob. One of my best pedals is the Stereo Electric Mistress, knobs for "rate", "flanger" and "chorus".

@@CirilZupan the Pulp is based on the vintage Orange Squeezer, used by Mark Knopfler in the 70's. Think early Dire Straits. There is an specific feel that I like it. The pedal has control over everything I need regarding compression and, as I said, the tone control does magic for your tone. On the top of all this, it has also a Rat circuit. Yes, you heard it. It is also a distortion. Most people, including me, only use sometimes with a little dirt, but you can use as a full on distortion and compressor also.

The drummer was shirtless just beating down those drums and Adam sounded just like the records and had all the energy you imagine him having while singing those songs. It was such a great show I was horse for about 4 days after and I walked out of that show drenched in sweat freezing my ass off.

Pulp’n’Peel sounds great! You’re right-it’s a very versatile pedal. It would be even more usable with a separate on/off footswitch for the Rat function, maybe with a separate volume control for the Rat, to balance the levels of the clean and dirty sounds. You’d have to make the whole pedal a little bigger, but it would certainly be more functional. I haven’t had a compressor in years, although I got one of the original Dyna-Comps when they first came out in the ‘70s-but I might have to get me a Pulp’n’Peel! Add that Rat footswitch and I’ll definitely get one.

[@drewg3087]

Lol it literally can be switched on/off. I think JHS knows how to make a pedal bud.

[@jfinester]

Andrew G. Well, yes, they do make good pedals. But what I’m talking about is being able to have the compressor switched on-compression is kind of an “always on” effect for me, while overdrive I use only for certain styles of music-rock, blues, that sort of thing. It seems to me that the way the Pulp’n’Peel is set up now, you can use it as a compressor with overdrive, but to use it as a compressor without overdrive (my go-to function) you’d have to turn a knob or try to kick that little switch on the side-not an option for me. But correct me if I’m wrong!
