Gear Breakdown with Deep Sea Diver

This week’s episode of the JHS Show was a little different, and by “a little different” I mean “the greatest episode we’ve ever done.” I had the pleasure to interview Jessica Dobson from the band Deep Sea Diver, and hear a little more about their amazing new album that’s dropping TODAY.
I love interviewing people, I love hearing how musicians got into the industry, and I think Jessica is one of the best guitarists currently making music, This episode is a dream come true.

[@rocketbarber516]

We need more of this ... more artists talking gear and more guests jamming with Nick and Josh!

[@tolvajakos]

Yes, I am amazed at how much I am enjoying this right now.

[@tolvajakos]

I have just found concentric pots on reverb. I had no idea I needed them but now I am so happy because they solve a problem I had, I just never thought about this solution. I am equally happy about this new format/type of video he is doing. Who knew that's exactly what I was needing right now?

[@maxadocious]

Agreed! As I grow older (and older than older!) I find myself much more interested in the creative process and inspiring creators than gear stuff.

[@keatonrobinson2970]

I was just about to post a comment saying the same thing, this was so fun and interesting!

[@41DegreesSouth]

[@michaelkay611]

I love this episode. Jessica Dobson is a great player and a really smart and thoughtful person.Thank you for doing this! And also, "unbro-ing guitar" is a great phrase.

[@joaofelipesantos3239]

I got into Deep Sea Diver because Secrets was featured on Record Time ages ago. Seeing you all together was amazing, this record is amazing, and Jessica's tones are ridiculously amazing.

[@andy_watt]

Haha, yeah man that’s how I found out about them too. Awesome to see it come full circle having Jessica on the show. Loving the new record too

[@silvamorphisphaeble7863]

And she's a Gr8, quirky, fun singer.....💯👀.🎤🎼😎🤘

[@tylermarshall6180]

Also how I found out about them. Has been in constant rotation ever since.

[@wesedwards1128]

I thought I had a tap on these kind of groups (female leads - Garbage, Liz Phair, PJ Harvey), but I definitely lost my way until DSD opened for Pearl Jam this past week in LA. They are great and this interview was timely!

[@teddybear51666]

Coming back to this yet again, I just want to commend Josh on how respectful he is as an interviewer, he listens and he doesn't interrupt, and more importantly he treats her as an equal, as a musician. Obviously Josh is against the bro-ification of guitar but it was really refreshing to see that put into practice and not just words. Big ups to Josh for being so kind, thoughtful, engaging and again, respectful

[@Jaredt771]

This was a sick video, Josh. Turned me on to a new artist and I love her style, influences, and musical choices. Definitely going to be checking out more of their music. Keep this going, please!

[@will-iu2bk]

Man, seeing those bilt guitars on anyone other than josh really puts it into perspective how big they are

[@joermnyc]

Josh is like 8 feet tall after all.

[@deanarnold6284]

Yeah, I need one as most guitars look super small on me as well.....

[@yeahrightbear8883]

Before long JHS is going to have a magazine with interviews and music news and what not in it. Edit: I was just joking but it seems like people might actually be interested in this.

[@richardrauda2549]

I really hope this happens

[@cleekersneaker]

What if this channel is the magazine?

[@ScottMcdonaldMusic]

All JHS all the time.

[@tolvajakos]

yeah. i'd love that. Josh has such a soothing presence. he's got a great taste in music and great knowledge in gear and tone. who wouldn't want that?

[@tolvajakos]

yeah, who the f is johnny carson?

[@antbar100]

Surprised, even as guitarists talking about guitars, that I’m not hearing more praise for her amazing vocal work in the comments. She really uses her voice like an instrument in a way that I find really remarkable.

[@toferlewis3383]

Excellent episode. I hope you can do more like this. My wife actually watched and liked this episode as she's a fan of Deep Sea Diver. While she loves music and has excellent taste in music, she's not a musician, so this episode really crossed over to a broader audience. Keep it up JHS.

[@MacGillielaidir]

She is killer. Her approach to creating sounds is much more inspiring than most guys nowadays

[@-JohnGalt-]

Was thinking the same thing. Very interesting and fresh sounding approach.

[@JohnnyMacaw]

Samantha fish is way more killer than Jessica Dobson but Jessica Dobson has her unique playing.

[@darrelldourte9455]

​@@JohnnyMacawSamantha Fish closed a show after Jimmy Vaughn. Her key player plugged in and maybe cracked half the speakers on the PA. Just had to go after that.

[@authoroftheaccident]

This is the perfect musicians interview. Like a combination of ‘what’s in my bag’, ‘rig rundown’ and actual live music.

[@warp9988]

I appreciate the introductions to artists and bands, the "album" at the end of regular JHS Show episodes, is one of my favorite parts of the format.

[@scotthowe1972]

Awesome episode Josh and everyone from the JHS crew. If you only knew how much I enjoy your videos. Please do more of this style, it lets us learn more about and discover new artists.

[@jeffburnham4582]

This was an absolutely wonderful episode!! Thanks for the introduction to the band.

[@gonzoduke6805]

Yes! The JHS Show just keeps getting better and better! Awesome episode!!! Thank you Josh!

[@thebadlight5801]

Solid gold, more shows in this format and stoked to discover Deep Sea Diver from this, thanks!

[@rasuamuvasquezperez3416]

I have been looking forward for these my entire life, and im sooooo glad it was at the same time with the new album. Thanks Josh!!

[@gtarman59]

I just fell in love with Impossible Weight. What an incredible album! Fantastic songs and soundscapes. Love it!

[@donewithmodernlife]

I saw her playing her Costello Jazzmaster with The Shins & was immediately intrigued by her taste in tone & gear. Did some research, found out about Deep Sea Diver & have been a fan ever since. Great video JHS! Offset lovers unite!!!

[@PhilDavisFilms]

This is EXACTLY how I found her too. I was watching live Shins videos and one live video had really weak vocals for James but the backup singer/guitarist sounded great... it was her... so yeah :)

[@makeshift_battlefield_music]

Nice I love the Shins and never heard of Deep Sea Diver, ill check them out

[@FogTub]

[@scottgeyer684]

Wow, love the new tune! Can’t wait to grab the new album!

[@billtackett8217]

This was a great episode. Loved the format (especially jamming with the artist) and getting to know the artist and gear better. More of this please!

[@edmiglia]

It's what I want most late night shows to do! Spend all their time with the musical guest! 👏👏👏

[@daverice2426]

Man, this show just keeps getting better and better. You and Nick are killer players, the whole thing's edited and mixed really well and even the gags all land (the timing of the dudes waiting on the couch reveal was perfect). And now this amazing interview with an artist I wasn't familiar with whose stuff I'm definitely checking out right now, plus a great sounding, nicely shot full band performance...damn, you guys are knocking it out of the park!

[@caiofilipini]

Thanks for bringing her in, I absolutely love her music!

[@ahsleywithabeard]

This was an amazing episode!!! Well Done!!!!

[@RonaldOlszewski]

Great episode! Really impressed by Jessica Dodson, and an amazing performance at the end. Loved it!

[@alexscott7226]

Great interview and great music... thanks for this

[@jonassink]

Yay for the Five Iron Frenzy shoutout! Our Newest Album Ever! was one of the first if not the first album I ever bought with my own money.

[@adamredmer]

Josh- y'all could do one of these a month and then put a record out. Different artists, one good cause. then sell records.

[@tneDEATH]

Why isn't that the top comment yet?

[@happihockey8601]

Great episode, I really like these where Josh sits down with an artist and really gets them to open up about process and gear and life.

[@misterautry6]

Custom Jessica pedal- chimy drive with up front delay and a variable rate tremolo expression pedal jack. Go.

[@sjfaux89]

One of the best episodes of the JHS show 👌 More from Jessica please.

[@mariojqg1]

Absolutely awesome. The new album is great and her tone is amazing. Please do more episodes like this. Loved the jamming

[@marknason4572]

Thanks Josh, really enjoyed this interview and the playing segments. Love the story and the sounds...and the BilT Zaftig!

[@jimduffy9773]

Great interview. I am just discovering Deep Sea Diver, great timing. Jessica is a great talent. Well done. What a great line. "I'd love to, my band is right over there."

[@damiengiraud6575]

Great episode, so happy to discover great artists I don’t know about! Thanks!

[@davidhall5233]

Broksi... Thank you so much for this. I can’t believe I have not heard about these guys! Impossible Weight is my new play on repeat song!!! Keep up this series!!!

[@rgr4929]

Congrats, keep doing this kind of episodes!

[@tomroselyn6438]

great crossover. this band (and jessica as a guitarist) definitely deserves more attention. looking forward to listening to the new record!

[@KidGalore]

Wonderful artist and episode, cool format

[@capitaldharma]

Loved this episode!

[@mwagliardo]

Awesome, good luck with the album Jessica and band!

[@michaelpeterson5061]

This. Video. Changed. My. Life. Because of this: A. My kids know Deep Sea Diver is inspirational, beautiful, and my favorite artist in 2020. B. I bought a tremelo and put it WHEREVER I WANT on my board.

[@dinosaursr]

Cool stuff. Great interview.

[@samhatman6536]

Mission accomplished, CD on it's way. Wonderful!!! You guys take it from there. To say more would be less. Wonderful!!!

[@Natural_Order]

Love their record. Thanks for exposing me to her music!

[@blues61]

Wow, Deep Sea Driver must be great live. The performance at the end is awesome. The way the band executes and interlocks their parts makes that song come alive. Thanks for turning me on to them.

[@chimichurrimojo3096]

Fantastic episode, one of my favorites!

[@matta.4816]

Loved this episode and the live band performance at the end was great!!

[@johnnysabty5479]

Sooo amazing , downloaded !!!! Nice concept for band presentation ; so real

[@ejwatts25]

Great episode, really enjoyed it. First time I've heard Deep Sea Diver but loved the sound and Jessica was really cool too; really liked her explanation of her approach to getting sounds out of her pedals. Thanks again for great videos Josh and co.

[@hoopy63]

Ok, that was great. Hadn’t really listened to this band before but off to bandcamp now.

[@IAmJopert]

Never heard of Deep Sea Diver but I love this format. Loved the nerdy gear questions and great jams.

[@wesmitchem825]

Holy crap never heard of that band but just that song at the end has just made me a fan and now I have to listen to everything they got Josh you sneaky dog you

[@dirtmelchizedek8311]

What a great episode. Would love to see more interviews/album releases.

[@christophergraf5405]

WOW! Great episode and Deep Sea Diver!?! Faith restored. Thanks for the introduction.

[@nedward5871]

Nice! Just saw her rig rundown earlier this morning, so this is great serendipity!

[@lauvemetender]

She's amazing. I start playing guitar recently because I was so impress of her cover (you don't owe me) in KEXP. She's definetly an inspiration with Sharon Van Etten !

[@strangequark420]

MASSIVE WOW. What a great video. Thank you Jessica and Deep Sea Diver for doing this. You took me back to 1989 ... I can't put my finger on it, really. I hadn't heard you before, but this was awesome. Thanks Josh for going in this direction. Peace.

[@devilsdoorbell]

*Waits patiently for the JHS/Jessica Dobson pedal collab that doesn't exist yet*

[@joshuakarar3594]

I can see it now. A JHS take on a pleasure trem in a morley wah pedal format where the expression pedal controls the trem rate.

[@nathanadams2600]

Well she did do a collab with Benson for a DSD livery preamp when the new album was released, so this is a real possibility.

[@devilsdoorbell]

@@nathanadams2600 Yeah - that appeared to be an artwork only thing, though. I'm hoping there's an effect combo that represents her sound or tone preferences that can be useful/influential to a wide audience. Who knows - might be a future thing.

[@ethansapp3473]

@@joshuakarar3594 I think you just described exactly what I want in a trem pedal

[@santiagoandresparedesrodri2204]

Awesome music, thnks a lot!!! We need more videos like this!

[@PaulKirtley]

Great format. More of these if you have the time. Very good interview technique too Josh. I really enjoyed what Jessica had to say and it was great to be introduce to Deep Sea Diver. Thank you.

[@NonalignedVideos]

Holy crap! I didn't expect to love Deep Sea Diver instantly. I don't encounter newer artists much. I'm grateful you shared DSD with us.

[@doogmit]

I was a big fan of the 20 Questions podcast (RIP) and I love the JHS show interviews. Good job Josh.

[@christophernoia5197]

First time I heard her was on “ships” live from KEXP. They’re rad

[@LPMTLCA]

Love all of your videos and you should do more of these!! Your channel is awesome! Loving the thinline JM!

[@thatonetechyguy]

I just recently found this and I don’t know how I got by without this video before.

[@periurban]

I'm growing to love this channel. What a nice lady, with a refreshingly different approach to guitar.

[@videomove]

digging your vibe, cool show as always!

[@jtemprile]

Great Episode !!!

[@pasnpp]

Great episode. Also best format. It’s AWESOME to see the way real live people use pedals in real live songs.

[@christophercheney1006]

Thanks to this episode, Deep Sea Diver is my new favorite band. Just got their new record in the mail! Thank you for hipping me to this ill music! Jessica has impeccable taste "Another Green World" is one of the greats. Keep doing episodes like this! And, as always, keep up the stellar work guys.

[@raynefaded]

We need more content like this. Amazing.

[@jeffpashley]

Holy moly! Thanks for this artist feature. Great song! Cool guitar work and great vocal. She has a great gift for melody. I love the Dale Bozzio-esque inflections! Gotta get the record.

[@omnaraiya]

Favorite episode yet!

[@silvioschmidt5346]

More please. Great format, excellent execution.

[@jezmez68]

Just revisited this. I love this album from front to back, and I discovered it watching this.

[@SteveJamsEcono]

Hellllll yeah. So pleased to see this today. Folks: Don't sleep on Deep Sea Diver. New record is great and the previous two are also great.

[@simonhollingsworth5331]

Watched , enjoyed and now listening to Deep Sea Diver. Loved the learning and honesty.

[@jacksolomon451]

My favorite things in this video were "unbro the guitar", and her advice. Great to her from someone who's been there and done that.

[@nathannapier7740]

Absolutely loved this episode!

[@kjrimple]

More of these! Awesome!

[@davejkeller]

Ohhh, a new series showcasing great bands and their pedals - I love it! */searches reverb for pink guitars and trem pedals*

[@blanedabbs5036]

Forever from now on do this with all your faves and enlighten the universe. This was cool. I let my baby cry for a bit just to see some jammage that was super cool, and I didn't feel bad about it. That's how much i enjoyed this episode. Your pedals are the best. Whatever .. The best.
