New JHS Legends of Fuzz! The Plugin, Berkeley, and Mary-K + the Volture!

[@EdgeOfFuzz]

Love just a classic JHS episode

[@EdgeOfFuzz]

@Esteban Soto yup. The live videos are a bit too much for me personally.

[@cowieson]

Me too! I’d love there to be more of a mixture of the classic style of episodes with the live stuff (I personally don’t get on with the live stuff but lots of other folks seem to so a balance of both would be great!)

[@jacobwt1]

This just feels like a good ol' jhs video. It's wonderful.

[@randallhutchinson907]

The Volture in either a treadle form, or with an expression out, would be super useful. To be able to sweep through from starving the voltage all the way to full voltage while still being able to play at the same time would be super cool.

[@OtherTheDave]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing!

[@-jank-willson]

or a version with an auto-treadle... (like a regular [treadle] wah vs. auto-wah)

[@OtherTheDave]

Oh! And a remote on/off (like an amp where you can remotely switch channels) would be cool, too!

True fact - I do not own any JHS pedals but I love this channel.

[@cb24203]

If you buy one get a Muffuletta. One of the best sounding fuzz pedal available

[@kwyatt261]

​@@cb24203 And you never have to buy another big muff ever again

I'm the same - never had a JHS pedal - I might follow that advice about the Muffuletta :D

@@cb24203 - I have long pondered the purchase of a Color Box...but time will tell.

[@stuartchapman5171]

I'm the same. I'm very taken with the basics range reverb, trem and chorus. One day I'll decide. If only the reverbs came in stereo. Maybe I'll buy two and mod them into one box.

[@ileutur6863]

The classic episode format is really refreshing to see again

[@reuelbraid7446]

I just love seeing mid Missouri specific T-Shirts on Josh and personally identifying with it. Rock on guys

[@JordanBrennan]

Josh and the JHS team are incredible , love the new pedals

[@jadonhaley8942]

As a fuzz fanatic myself I gotta say this legends of fuzz series killer and I’m planning on getting them all at some point.

[@jhspedals]

yes!!

[@r0flgal0re]

Josh's love for Pedals is simply inspiring. I love everybody at JHS, but Josh has this boundless enthusiasm that really gets me.

[@MNDTRVLRMUSIC]

I'm still rocking my JHS CRIMSON and very happy with it! These look great too!

[@-processdrone-]

I'm really glad you've made these available to people. My inner Engineer remains perplexed by the fact that a Fuzz must be first in the chain, but the mod switches are on the left and therefore you have to lose pedal board space to accommodate the inconvenience. I'd be overjoyed if you'd break that habit. Please do not allow this feedback to dent a wonderful day.

[@EclipseAtDusk]

I love that now the curtain’s been drawn back, he’s admitted the loud is more good amp onscreen is a prop It’s fun to look at the knobs, see how they’re set

[@PhillipCalvin627]

Bro, Josh is like a tone philanthropist preserving these circuits in readily available JHS pedals.

[@StavK]

❤ ❤❤ When I was a kid there were people knocking on your door and they had a stack of books to sell you, and they explained they were encyclopedias. It was the only way then to learn things about world history, science, biology etc. How awesome is it that JHS is building an encyclopedia of pedals, allowing us to experience otherwise unobtainable items to most! ❤❤❤ Bravo JHS

[@jarrod9052]

That Mary K sounds evil 😈

[@erock9374]

Another stolen circuit.. can’t come up with original designs, just repros and then show off his collection that he’s amassed bc he pays his people low wages Buy Earthquaker, they pay living wages and offer healthcare to their employees.

[@atonofspiders]

All time watcher, 0 time buyer! Missed this channel so much. The guitar pedal community feels half dead without JHS presence spicing it up

[@paulminor5060]

Really digging this series. Would love to see a Selmer Buzz Tone clone, made famous by Syd Barrett on The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, at some point down the road.

[@dougrudebaker7708]

Very cool. I’m still holding out for a Baldwin-Burns Buzzaround circuit as part of this series. Something tells me that is one of the ten ‘ideas’ hinted at early in this video. 🐝

[@makeloud]

Had to get that Mary-K...couldn't even wait until the end of the video. Thank you Sweetwater!

[@12Jakeyboy]

I'm so hoping in this series he'll do a mk1 ToneBender, the mk3 tribute is my new favourite fuzz pedal! I can't imagine how amazing his take on a mk1 would sound

[@WillHessey]

That would be awesome!

[@ZigbertD]

You should consider releasing a special edition Mary-K in a blister pack. I can't be the only person out there who would totally impulse buy a fuzz pedal if it were hanging on a rack by the checkout line at Walgreens.

[@DiditDah]

I really love what the Berkeley has going on! And get this episode back on fridays where it belongs. You’re shaking me like a 3rd in line semi trailer. And Josh would you say, “pale whales are where the wells are not dry, but pale ales are where the Pell grants are not lost in the mail.”

[@richardnormoyle5292]

Awesome you kept this series going! I hope you continue to release this series into the future, fantastic that you’re keeping these circuits alive! Now reissue some of the crazy EHX stuff plz!!!! Would love to see a JHS version of the Attack/Decay!

[@VesiustheBoneCruncher]

The boss tone circuit is slept on. Given how successful the opamp big muff is as the ‘pumpkins’ muff, you’d think more people would be interested in the pumpkin’s other lead fuzz.

[@sr60030]

Thank you Josh from the bottom of my heart thank you With this and your 3 series I feel like we normal people can get good durable sounds and still be able to live a healthy financial situation

[@jcgronlier8427]

Awesome episode! Can’t wait to play the new Legends of Fuzz line! Love the original LOF. I have a JHS pedal with the *This pedal is special* sticker - a Twin Twelve V2. You guys rock!

[@Riverking1]

As someone who is in the box making industry I applaud your love for paper containers. I understand Josh....I understand.

[@druwk]

Love ❤ that you’ve kept going with the series!

[@baileywatts1304]

Oh no! I'm definitely going to have to get the Berkley and the Mary K. I'm not even usually a fuzz player. I had a Kay fuzz that I got stupid cheap years ago and it pretty much informed me of what fuzz should be like, which was unfortunate, but now it's here! With the support for the treadle like I loved before I broke mine!

[@RobertNolan]

That's amazing! I can only imagine how it would sound with the volume up!

[@robertbradley1835]

Love The Hard Off Guitar Strap! Welcome back from Japan 🗾 Great series of pedals, my favorite is the Supreme, now I need a Mary-K 💯

[@doctersound9630]

@JHS - PLUGIN in my future… I’ve been hunting for that spirit in the sky. That’s where I’m gonna go when I die. (Thank you for bringing this back)

[@MarhtiSan]

I've always loved that super memorable Spirit in the Sky guitar tone (I was a kid at the time that it came out).... omg, bravo! for The Plugin! _That's_ the one I'm putting on my buy-list (in _front_ of the Color Box). Thank you so, so, much. You're all genius-level talents and my life is better because of you all. seriously.

[@AbnerAgogo]

I love the legends of fuzz, thanks so much for the pedals and this channel. I have never bought a JHS pedal that I didn’t absolutely love. I also love double negatives.

[@jhspedals]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@MrSmotPoker1]

I’ve always been a pedal nerd. Josh made me a JHS fan specifically, maybe more than any other singular pedal brand. the brand, the philosophy, the personalities and everything else that goes into running a pedal company and made THAT a product in its own way. And somewhere along the way, they became the IDEAL catylyst through which all pedal history, technology, research and experimentation gets reflected, mixed perfectly with an eye on the future and anticipating what the average weekend warrior finds most valuable about every type of pedal can be distilled down to its most essential elements and finds a way in almost every video, to offer a new perspective on a sound people have written millions of words on already, and every video, he delivers on the appeal of the Everyman rocker, a mythical type of personality that simply has a profound talent for expressing what is so awesome about each type of pedal you might need to round out your sound. You simply can’t clone that kind enthusiasm. It’s infectious, which I’m sure is part of Josh’s secret sauce to how JHS started from his brain entirely and now commands a fanboy level of attention and dishes that energy right back out to his fellow enthusiasts , displaying a cult-leader-esque charisma which garners so much genuine goodwill and fanaticism around their little operation. They often say there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, but if it’s possible, Josh may have figured out a way to go around that old dogmatic view as well. I’d love to smoke a bone with that guy

[@familydesjardins]

I guess I need the Mary-K. Damn you Josh my children are starving.

[@Chiller11]

You’re just fighting childhood obesity with every pedal purchase.

[@Globularmotif]

You did good with these, they sound really really good. I also love that the mods you added are not pointless but very useful, yet don't ruin the original vibe. Good work man....

[@thequadraphonicgospels7829]

JHS has become my favorite pedal company. Love you guys.

[@jhspedals]

Woah, thanks!

[@nicholasbstone]

Imagine of all the amazing music that was/is directly inspired by Josh's circuits over the years and in the years to come. Think about it.

[@ReddestRosa]

I love the old school episodes like this

[@supersonicnomad8437]

I used to have a Kay Fuzz back in the day. What blew my mind was the Berkeley slide tone. That was unquestionably righteously rad! Keep on keepin' on rockin'! \m/

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

My exposure to the Boss Tone came via two avenues: the FUZZ! documentary and the KMA Fuzzly Bear. It is such a lovely fuzz.

[@majordabalert]

Best editing so far. Love you guys 💘

[@JamesMc2]

Mary K’s gonna be flying off the shelf!

[@glacierwookie]

The "Plugin" sounds amazing! I can't wait to get one!! I do wish that when the "JHS Mode" was switched on, on all the Legends of Fuzz pedals, it changed the color of the LED, not sure how difficult that would be to implement, but just a thought. Love these pedals though!

[@palesama]

Finally, I'm just in time for the Legends of FUZZ Party. Count me in for the Berkeley. It screams, distorts and fuzz. Love it. It will be part of my small collection, joining the Supreme and the Crimson. Thanks for everything you and your crew do at JHS.🙌🏅🙌

[@lifeworldmusic4855]

Been lovin on Jordan amps for over ten years. Felt like you were talking right at me when you mentioned them. Thanks for the Jordan amp exposure. I have the bass master j119 and stage mate j130 (which has reverb and tremolo) I wrote all the songs for my band on guitar with the bass master. I always preferred you use bass in the guitar amp and guitar through the bass amp. So sick.

[@Plex45a]

I started playing electric guitar in 1974. My Mom bought me a '60s Teisco E-112 guitar and a Checkmate amp at a yard sale. Shortly after that she bought me the Kay Fuzz and Wah at a Ben Franklin five and dime retail store. And yes, they were in the toy section!! I need to buy these JHS Fuzz pedals!!

[@Hesohi]

It would be cool to play a Fender Blender. Or the Zoom fuzz where the knobs respond properly. I would try a Berkeley. I dig the idea of OD that can Fuzz. Also love the traditional JHS episode. Some of the most pleasing vibe in all of guitar YT.

[@michaelsnydermusic]

Agreed. I love the traditional episodes too. Super fun. I’m still waiting for the line 6 4 series (modelers).

[@robertlathan4639]

Thanks for another great show and we love you!!

Damn it! He knows my addiction! FUZZ!!! I can't wait to see how fantastic these BOXES are!

[@MedalionDS9]

Yo that Mary K fuzz sounds amazing

[@fortheloveofnoise]

Just ordered the Volture, will be my first JHS pedal. The Volture is exactly what I needed.

[@mattheap-producer]

The Mary K song is one of the coolest you guys have done!

[@Tuckermoore]

Wait wow have I been watching for that long. Did I really live/experience these last few year? Pulp n peel finally came in

[@hillx021hill3]

The Mary-K sounds brutiful. A fuzz for the ages. And Josh. I love how you didn't mute the strings on the slide solo with the Berkeley. I have always been told to mute, and I think that erases the beautiful noises you get from sympathetic dissonance. Really.

[@spacedout_bae]

So far Mary k is my fave sound of this series...sounds wicked❤🎉😮

[@MichaelD8393]

I got the Mary-K for Christmas (thank you, Santa), and while I have yet to try the other Legends of Fuzz pedals, I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be my favorite, too.

[@MoMo-xb7nr]

Your show is like a natural Xanax. I love the few pedals from you. All my bitton pins are on my jacket. I guess i have to geek out and start buying merch. Omg… i love buying things, it makes me so happy. The studio band you play with…. Get them some starbucks, they are tight. Love ya guys.

[@HippieJguitar]

The Volture all the way on makes it sound like my first fuzz pedal

[@brainsplosion3000]

isn't "all the way on" a standard 9 v power supply?

[@davebelknap3220]

I really like the Berkeley. Will check it out tomorrow at the local JHS retailer. Here is (another) vote for making the little black box in an expression/treadle enclosure.

[@gabriellaycock5209]

The bass sound on the Mary-K jam's great! (and that pedal's my favourite of the three)

[@actorartistmusician]

I’m so stoked you went for the Kay-Fuzz. It’s the first pedal I cloned and made only one for my friend in a U2 Cover band. It’s 100% component accurate clone. It made me never want to make my own circuit board again..😂😂. So I bought the Monster K-Fuzz (built into a wah enclosure) for myself. I love this circuit. Nice work on the new line!! Cheers,

[@dahlbaker]

Excellent new product review. I'm saving my Benjamins for the Moonshine.

[@LarsonGuitarPlayer]

Nice music today! Love the Mary K with the expression pedal. I want to make some Kitten In Distress sounds too! As heard at 17.39-45.

[@SixSixthSix]

Man the first jam for the plugin Pedal the bass and guitar sound was perfect!

[@gregrandallbtsr03]

Great news to see more of these fuzz pedals!

[@rossw73]

When I was a kid back in the 80s I found an orange Kay Fuzz in a church basement sale. I bought it along with a plastic amp for $2 total. Ended up giving it to my bassist when I bought my first real distortion pedal.. a Tube Driver. Wish I would’ve hung onto that pedal.

[@Ryan_Q3L]

Amazing. All three sound great. I love hearing the history behind each one too.

[@cameronstolhand7149]

Thanks for telling us about "Kills Birds." I've never heard of them before but I Google them and they sound awesome. I just ordered their first album.

[@youropionmattersnot]

Awesomeness. Just discovering fuzz pedals after 40 years of playing....

[@keithfriend2118]

The look on Josh's face when he asked (again) "did you guys see the blister pack?" almost made me spit out my coffee from laughing. Oh, by the way there's some cool fuzzes in this video too.

[@alexbellin8197]

I was so glad you mentioned how steel players love the boss tone

[@thedddemon]

The PluinIn! Now that's a name that's going to be highly searchable in google 2023!

[@DrJeebles]

Great Record Time suggestion. I had never heard of Kills Birds. Now I'm checking them out and they remind me of something I would have found on an old DGC or SubPop mix cd back in the day. Nice one. Thank you!

[@Loki_Morningstar666]

I would love to see a Boss FZ-2 hyper fuzz clone with a mid boost and a little extra low end for us bass players.

[@flux1968]

The JHS Supreme is based on the Super Fuzz which is also what Boss tried to clone. I believe the switch on the side is a mid boost.

[@tungtobak]

Yeah I've found that I often put my Colour Box after the Hyper Fuzz to, like you said, add low mid and bass to it.

[@Troi1984]

Josh… you should really do stand up comedy. Absolutely love the jhs show, always makes me happy.

I love your videos. I saw a short where you feature the plugin, and it really has a the sound from Cinnamon Girl.

[@RockabillyRagsdale]

I love that Josh used a semi hollow the whole episode but I can’t even look at a fuzz pedal without my semi hollow screeching at me. 😂 love the new pedals guys! 110% as always. Now more money to spend. Lol.

[@the-np4mr]

I've never had that with a semi hollow, which disappointed me because that's why I wanted one lol

[@dustinthiessen]

that's cause he's using a kemper, with no speaker. it would be pretty rare for headphones to feed back lol

[@joegearing1745]

maybe the Collings materials/construction/electronics got something to do with it...he also records direct using a kemper (the "loud is more good" amp isn't being used, it's a prop in this case)

[@shawnhelsel923]

And remember it might not necessarily be the hollow guitar, your pickups could be overly microphonic. There’s good and bad feedback.

Truth be told: I see Josh as a friend of mine, despite the fact that he doesn't know me at all. xD There are many reasons for this, but one is his amazing taste in music: Thanks for all the recommendations especially this one: Kills Birds are so amazing!

[@hrlarson]

Thanks for reminding me to listen to Kills birds! Mary K was my favourite, but like you said Josh, so were the others.

[@eldude-iv8dw]

I was like “they all sound the same” THEN enter the Mary K…”well I gotta sell some gear, that’s a buy yesterday”

[@bandneedsbeer]

All of these sound great. My suggestion for the next one is the BOSS FZ-3

[@randyrich2039]

I had a Jordan Boss Tone (a long time ago, circa '69), it was the only fuzz the local music store sold. I didn't like plugging it into my ax so I put a female jack on one end of my cable, and held the Boss Tone on the amp by wedging it under the handle. A short cable connected it to the amp. It worked until it didn't work, it just quit one day mid set, and that was that, I wonder how many of them were tossed in the trash. But, it was cool while it lasted, I'm sure the JHS versions will last forever. At the time my amp was an early 60's (white) Fender Bassman and my guitar was an early 335. It was pretty snarly. Everything dimed. We played loud in those days.

[@lance134679]

Love the stereo guitars on the Mary-K jam. 👍

[@ianglencross]

I love these "new" fuzzes! The plug-in was probably my fav. As far as which fuzz to do next... the maestro bass brassmaster. Gotta give Addison some bass fuzz love! It also works great on smaller guitars. 😀

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

ngl, that doubled solo sounded sick as hell through my studio monitors. Love that wideness.
