Electro-Harmonix (EHX) Rarest Pedals!

In this week's episode, we travel to my good friend Daniel Danger’s private Batcave in Massachusetts. To my knowledge, Daniel has the largest collection of Electro-Harmonix pedals in the world, so it's a match made in heaven. The jams are also pretty baller.

I feel like this is a cry for help but we're all too impressed and envious to hear it.

For each "He has the box" the look in his eyes grows a bit more desperate

[@DanielDangerTME]

nick had to keep giving him cookies as a reward for not having tantrums.

[@afxmnstr]

I feel this so hard in this video

[@sgriggl]

the twinge of jealousy that flashes across his face every time another original box gets pulled out. "wait. is that THE BOX?"

[@tatialo37]

He's so going to kill him and steal his pedals!!!

[@NickKBMusic]

“He’s In the Box!” Legit had me in stitches!!!!!

yup, me too

I think I'm broken now. I never used to care about the box, now I need the box.

[@anthonycutt8854]

Daniel: Most of these didn't survive because they weren't soldered very well Josh: *Smacks the controls like they're trying to grab his junk*

[@FFGG22E]

Yes!!! That's what I was saying above, did it not seem like he was trying to break one o those faders on the synth? Jealous much??

[@zenistermister9695]

Maybe he was just excited and having a good time.

"I don't want to be a corporate sellout" this episode is about one man's extreme brand loyalty

[@Ottophil]

Its about mental illness. Collecting/hoarding(same thing) is a sign of being crazy

[@melvins1992]

I wouldn't ever consider brand loyalty to be selling out; he isn't being paid by EHX, hell he isn't even telling us to buy these pedals, he's just presenting his collection and knowledge for the sake of preservation.

"This is fun to play with even though it has no musical usability." "Aphex Twin has accepted your challenge"

Aphex twin would make 6 whole albuns with only that pedal.

[@jeffc4862]

Reminded me a lot of Throbbing Gristle as well.

[@scott.hanson]

"I make screenprints" - my thought throughout was "Is this the same Daniel Danger?" His artwork is incredible - he's huge on that front. Had no idea he was also a musician

ive been known to riff a few chugs in my day

[@commiebitch42]

This is by far the best JHS video to date. Loved seeing Josh being out-pedaled for 30 min. straight. :-D

I expect a "Nick in the box" special edition merchandise/JHS pedal/something in the near future with a special edition pulp sci-fi comic made by Nick.

[@Sharkbate211]

A miku style pedal but it sounds like nick, instead of amp in a box it's a nick in a box

[@basstheworldofficial]

This is now my favorite video on KZbin. Thanks for taking the time and helping to fuel my weird EHX obsession.

[@acexxxoasis]

[@marjeziorny924]

EHX ist the best, in my opinion the most resourceful and relatively inexpensive company.

[@laudnivek-k9]

That’s what I was going to say.

[@calebneff5777]

These are all super fun, but man that snare sounds amazing.

[@PetParadiseVB]

And can we appreciate Josh’s playing? He’s fantastic.

[@jonathanmartin3375]

The fact that he kept using the puppet to explain the history of the crime dog.

[@Konsolensammler]

WHY DOES THIS SNARE SOUND SO PERFECT

[@jimsk9s]

It does for sure!

[@jamesm601]

Exactly what I was thinking. That whole busted up looking kit sounds incredible.

[@jaysonhassler]

Because it's in the box.

[@LuisRFeliu]

they also use the Colour Box v2 with the drum kit

[@IAmKillEveryone]

*IT'S IN THE BOX*

[@peterkitts8815]

Totally sticking it to Rhett in the second jam. Best. Slide. Ever.

[@thejeffersonlee]

You know, for being stuck in a dark, tiny room with a Chuck E. Cheese head, Nick really stayed in the pocket on that last jam. Good look, Nick.

[@bunkre]

In the start when he said his studio is in Easthampton I thought "oh wait, I wonder if he's in the same building as Healey Guitars, it looks similar" and then a minute later, there's Josh playing a Healey. My worlds are colliding here and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

[@Thurston86]

Rams Head box Is definitely the Ultimate “He Has The Box!”🤘👽

[@DanielDangerTME]

hence the vuvuzelas!

[@JohnLockeNesss]

This is a big statement, but halfway through and this is my favorite JHS show episode so far. Nick in the box, the tasty proto punkish jams, a Nels Cline reference. Josh, Nick, Addison, and Daniel, thank you for brightening up my Friday double shift.

[@thesamjonesproductions]

I wasn’t prepared for those jams They went so hard

[@asims1066]

30 minutes of EHX weirdness, He’s in the box, and a Rocket from the Crypt Tshirt. This might just be the best video I’ve ever seen on KZbin!

[@cpk313]

Right around the 22 minute mark when the janky reverb and the red big muff box comes out Josh's internal collector is going off the rails.

[@SilverFan45]

The guitar synthesizer was used on Josh Klinghoffer's Pluralone album "I Don't Feel Well". The song is called "The Night Won't Scare Me" and it sounds amazing!

[@TheChadPad]

Dude, thank you. That song was badass. The Red Hot Chili Peppers really picked a talent to fill John's place while he was gone, but we're all glad he's back

[@JaEbala]

That song is cool, thanks for the tip

[@burke4307]

that bass tone with the muff was insane. been chasing something like that for years

[@matthewwood9906]

Whoa my octave multiplexer has the “senitivity” knob! I never even noticed 😂

[@rockerguyb]

I don’t know why with a lot of these jams I expect Anthony Keidis to come out of nowhere and start doing his thing…

[@sumyupee]

I've been watching this show pretty regularly for the last 2-3 years, and this is without a doubt my favorite episode.

[@johnboleyjr.1698]

"He's In The Box" My daughter and I both hurt people's ears from literally laughing out loud.

[@the92project]

[@xsonicassassinx]

the man has a drum box and beats up a grabber into a big muff. truly a man of exquisite taste

[@kalkidasofficial]

It’s interesting to see Josh’s face contemplating pedals and boxes he doesn’t have.

[@JUNKO____]

This is a classic episode that I know I'll come back to.

[@treyyoung2721]

This is THE BEST pedal video I have ever seen, I cannot even think of a close comparison

[@Ancaja123]

So actually the guy behind the ehx digital delays is David Cockerell, who also worked for EMS. When he went to Akai (don’t believe the Headrush is related at all) he used the tech to make the S612, first of their iconic S-Series samplers. And it’s super unique, might be one of the only samplers that has EHX like sliders for sample start/End, loop control, knobs for a pitch LFO, and something super awesome and rare: overdub at the press of a button, all on an amazing 12-bit sampler. I haven’t seen the original 16SDD, and always wanted to play one, because of how much I love the S612

[@peachmelba1000]

These jams are giving me a first QOTSA album/early Desert Sessions vibe.

[@cj4b2]

"He's in the box" Full circle people, full circle.

[@Murry_in_Arizona]

Thanks for returning the nightmares with the McGruff stuff. I was the smuck in the McGruff suit (retired Phoenix PD, community relations bureau 91-94) dancing and miming to that stuff. In the end I went back to patrol and plainclothes in south/south central Phoenix hoping someone would shoot me.. Though it does help a little, letting that dark ugly secret out after all these years.

[@BittenHand19]

Thank you for the "Ride the Snake" reference. Probably one of the most deep cut SNL sketches of all time lol

The Collector He sat mildly composed on his chair in the studio, which had evolved into an internally-facing museum...a collection that would feed his obsession and drive it at the same time. To call it a self-oscillating feedback loop would be an irony too grand to behold. And yet there at the desk sat the collector, brooding over his magnificent trove like a divine shepherd of golden fleeced rams, never to be sheared, never to be sold, purely for the awe of the gods. A job well done. He sat beside another; a guest in his studio; another collector spoiled with both envy and pride for the accomplishments of his compatriot. A sibling rivalry of sorts ensued at the disclosure of one sacred treasure after another. These were the best days of our lives. This was no tactless hoard of some deranged hermit stockpiling nonsense in the chambers of his insanity. This was a masterpiece of curated works of art. Though his presence gave a deft betrayal of silent contemplation at all times, there was something else lurking in the measure of his posture...something in his eyes that lay beneath the asymmetrical crop of locks strewn hastily about his brow. In his relentless pacing, there was, dare I say, a hint of interruption in the continuity of the conscious mind...a madness that propelled itself forward on the insatiable desire for more. They came in droves to watch the two converse...the collectors. But it was the witnessing of the madness set free, there in the studio, that they truly longed and chased. Stroking celestial melodies on the strings of tempered ambition. The Collector and his compatriot came to a resolve. Some say he still resides in that place of pure obsession. Others tell tales of a voice heard in the wilderness echoing the laughter of his pursuit. If you seek him you may come across a stranger in the dark, and if by chance he grants you exchange, be not surprised to hear the name of Daniel Danger.

[@chrisboule970]

@@joseislanio8910 You're exactly right. So... how many times can a spoken word be shared and accidently changed until it still hasn't changed the meaning.
