Pedals for Acoustic (Just Try Stuff - Ep.3)

[@AntKneeLeafEllipse]

Such pretty sounds. Side note: if you guys just like, talked for an hour about recording and mixing, I would watch it all.

[@brenoaragon]

HA.... i was just thinking how id rather just hear them talk too lol

[@Dazz1806]

Absolutely! Please do this. This quality and tone you guys get is incredible

[@amazingbiblia1832]

Yes!

[@Illuminationsfromtheattic]

Was just thinking exactly this!

[@r0flgal0re]

I second this.

[@horizonishere]

I love this series so much, glad it’s going so well.

[@stuartp8658]

I used HEAVY distortion on a mandolin through a Marshall with quad box. It sounded awesome - demonic and angelic at the same time. The high harmonics just seemed to ring through on top of all the fuzz.

[@danthemyth]

So nice I watched it twice! I love Nick and Addison’s episodes

[@AlonRozenblit]

This is the most optimistic Mogwai tribute song ever. Beautiful job, guys!

[@gurtana]

Never You Mind is a spellbindingly beautiful track, well done Single Kid Lisa. EDIT: Also, that Water From The Sky improv was ace too - The Morning Glory Meteorologists nailed it!

[@djadequate]

Fuzz on acoustic is underrated. I loved this, and Nels Cline is my hero -- just so you know.

[@danielhasty6077]

“Water from the Sky” was legit awesome

[@nicolasvandermeer2145]

Make an album, or an EP, or something! You folks are awesome

[@joshuariveraflora]

Holy s***, guys that was a beautiful track. The melodies were perfect. Can we get an album?!?!? 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥

[@mtkwelleful]

Best end to a video ever!!!!! All of JHS videos have been so well done, but this was special and I so appreciated this as the gift it was. Thank you both!

[@ryanevans371]

Exactly what I needed to help survive work today!

[@Dazz1806]

A year on, this is still such an inspirational video. The sounds you guys got are beautiful.

[@jhspedals]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@96mimstrat]

Always super good fun laid back vibes with you two lol I stayed till the end and the bonus song about rain was just EPIC THANK YOU

[@durelle78]

I love my Taylor nylon! Such a pleasant little guitar. Also loved what you did with the whammy pedal ... what an unexpectedly sweet sound!

[@redrix3731]

I would love to see a 'just try stuff' episode where you guys create something like this with just budget/affordable pedals (which is totally doable, Behringer Reverb Machine, Joyo Vision, EHX Satisfaction fuzz, NU>X CORE series, TCE Nether etc etc)

[@joermnyc]

And using other affordable gear too!

[@CMHobbies]

It probably would not sound much less in terms of quality. With Budget pedals, you’re getting a close enough if not identical sound from the pedals they’re cloning, but the compromise for price is the component quality. They are more likely to die on you at an inconvenient time if you use them to gig.

[@willflint5014]

They could use Flamma stuff too

[@SwidrygajlowArek]

just buy used pedals

[@dark_brew6628]

I love this series, it’s become my favourite that you guys do, keep it up!

[@andsoistopped]

And that is why the JHS Show is one of the greatest shows. Comedy, creativity and crazy crooning.

[@phillseagram]

Keep these type of videos coming! Love to see the full songwriting process with pedals as the lens.

[@notso05]

i come back to video often. Its my favorite vid this channel has put out and thats saying something. Ive played acoustic for 20 years and have just gotten into electric over the last two. this is a staunch reminder that acoustic is always first in my heart

[@arrolate]

I love what yall are doing, keep the good stuff!

[@maxhocks2006]

Pedals on acoustic is soo underrated. This was amazing!! More acoustic in the future. Rocking with electric is great, and tons of fun. But it’s nice to switch the vibe up sometimes

[@jbourke33]

Coming from a huge Wilco fan, you guys knocked it out of the park. Definite Wilco vibe with hints of Sharon Van Etten and Middle Kids. Loved it!

[@MusiclyricsByECDaleyC]

Great fun here boys, loved it!

[@douglasskytrain6885]

...DUDEBROS...this was an awesome idea and video...topped off with improv goofball jam...you guys are awesome...

[@samsoliva]

"Water From The Sky" Thanks for the inspiration.

[@jwstout007]

It's water from the freaking sky, brilliant!

[@Fallub]

Just beautiful music. Thank you.

[@npinero1]

Omg that song at the end was EPIC!!!

[@PAHVID]

Fantastic job guys!

[@philiprenner8632]

So glad I stayed until the end!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

I compared 5 brands, 18 guitars, 3 shops......Bought a Taylor 414ce-R (cost a fortune) Plays & Sounds like a Dream. Enjoyed this guys. oNe LoVe from NYC

[@yakobakontao]

It was the comment, "'Should I go to a minor now?" that got me. That was worth the watch...but it was topped by, "Water from the sky..." I never knew what rain was until then. I never knew what sadness was until the minor was played. Well played.

[@Tech_NO_Tech]

Best episode ever !!! Fun to watch and fun to hear.

[@matthewtop]

Best song yet boys. Good job!

[@carolynshulman]

This was so awesome and I just loved it!!!

[@mrstrypes]

Remember when we used to spend countless hours in the studio just to produce something that sounded ALMOST as good as this track? It's AMAZING how sound technology has advanced.

[@timwilson032]

Boy am I glad that you made this video. 20 minutes ago I thought that the bass guitar counted as an electric guitar and I had no idea what rain was. Thanks JHS!!

[@TheBeriking]

Wow. Just wow. You guys are just so gifted… Sign me up to the Single Kid Lisa fanclub! But for the love of god, *watch out* for all these guitars falling out of the sky in KC! We can’t afford to lose the creative force- NICK LOUX MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS!

[@lorenzosada7950]

Really really really nice tune, very inspiring! The distorted guitar sounded like horns, it had a GodspeedYou!BlackEmperor cosmic noise vibe, but more positive

[@larryduke7155]

Very nice tune guys, I'd listen to it on a Sunday morning sippin' coffee...can't wait for the next JTS episode!

[@richardnagamitsu1582]

Josh Scott - Give these boys a bonus for a spectacular episode, or at least an extra day off.

[@jhspedals]

Nah

@@jhspedals as long as pedals are legal in every State, we should all be good… whatever that means…

[@bobrg1459]

Fantastic! I've only used delay, reverb, tremolo, and chorus on acoustic before. You folks have shown there is a whole world left to explore. The song and your production are killer! Thanks.

[@thedeadxtras9927]

Great episode boys! Yep primarily I’m a guitarist and for so long usually have started most songs when writing or recording with the guitar being the first instrument I start the writing process on, but recently I’ve pushed myself to start a song process either with a keys/synth part sometimes now I’ll start with Drum grooves/patterns and percussion and build from that an see what develops and comes out, it’s been great and I’ve written various new songs in various genres and feel and is great being creative from different angles and using guitar pedals on vocals, drums, synths and creating what you want instead of what a piece of gear is specifically designed to be used with, if something got an Input and an Output then there’s no reason you can’t really put anything into the signal process and just change the normality up and break any rules, there are no rules really so just do as you feel, nothing really is wrong!! It’s just people usually or expect many things to be used in certain or specific ways cos it’s what they’re used to!! F*** all that be creative and do whatever you want, the results can be fantastic and teach yourself so many new things along the way giving you so much more experiences and knowledge using things in different ways! Great show and great idea format! Love it as always!! Thanks Steve in Manchester, England.

[@brookebrownwv]

Fantastic and inspired! I especially like that you guys give Wilco so much love. Please keep trying stuff!

[@Electromeo07]

Best "Just Try Stuff" yet. Great Job!

[@therangersinger]

Feeling some Fleetwood Mack vibe kicking. Great video guys.

[@sucram1993]

this was something really special. i loved the amount of passion that was pumped into this video. ty

[@tremelo68]

Talent! Fantastic playing and writing. Excellent taste in mixing and arranging. You guys are truly gifted. And so funny!

[@gresnid3453]

Fantastic song! And I love the witty and respectful dialog in all your videos. I just don't understand why Rhett has so many more followers than JHS.

[@calebriley7466]

That color box is something else

[@NoCoverCharge]

Finally been waiting on an episode like this I love using pedals with my acoustic

[@benjammin4840]

Man guys sounds amazing!

[@therewasascene]

Damn. Great job guys

[@justingoers]

That was excellent.

[@philipaitken7460]

That rain jam at the end was the best part

[@model_number_band]

The bass immediately made my brain hear an early 90's Billy Corgan dropping some lush vocals over this.. Great track.. Aside from a great track, the two of your sensibilities are fantastically chemistry-laden. Kudos fellas, beautiful track.

[@craigmusa2254]

My last show i didn't have my electric so I had to use my acoustic electric. It was wild especially with the big muff. It actually handled really well.

[@washparkmusic]

On my song “My Best,” I used a digital oil-can delay on an acoustic guitar. It was so much fun.

[@oldbloodnoise]

which one tho

[@washparkmusic]

@@oldbloodnoise I think you know… 💛

[@adamyidiaris3491]

Whats an oil can delay?

[@garciawork9]

324e or ce is my dream acoustic. Very nice!

[@chvckfventes]

After a month of posting this, I still keep coming back to listen to "Never You Mind". It's such a pretty and carefree tune.

[@thejamnasium6447]

I play lots of solo acoustic shows (well, a lot to ME anyway, could always be more) and I use lots of FX and a looper to try and set myself apart from all the other dudes out there doing the solo acoustic thing. The Duellist actually works super well for distortion and overdrive on acoustic.

[@Mark_Ocain]

You guys are very talented!...great demo and jams! Thanks for this.

[@michaelsnydermusic]

It’s always great to go outside the box or your comfort zone and try something different. That’s when you write your best stuff. You guys created a gorgeous song and I’d buy an album of this in a heartbeat. Shameless plug: I decided to do something just like this on my last album called Acoustic Spaces. Except, I took one acoustic with many guitar sounds (an Acoustasonic) and used various pedals to create an all acoustic album of mellow folkish soundscapes. Not so shameless plug: every penny that comes from my music goes to my nephews college savings accounts.

[@chuckthaalchemyst3539]

Nice, I have recently been sucked into this rabbit hole. I am glad to know I’m not alone.

[@jcwear89]

Sounded incredible! Super musical and practical uses of those pedals

[@jcwear89]

Also great ending!

[@LilGuyBigVoice]

This was SOOO GOOD!!! That 5th up part!?! Perfect!! Every sound complimented one another!! More please and thanks! :D Well done guys!!

[@robertarcher4308]

I use the Color Box v2 with my Taylor 314 as a preamp. I removed the expression pickup system in the guitar because it died and replaced it with K&K piezo pickups, the Color Box v2 works really well with the piezo pickups. The great thing about the Color Box v2 is that it can serve as a mic pre and as a fuzz box.

[@particular_noise]

im saving for the colour box. seems like it sounds good on everything. I'll know soon I hope

[@MrHeliosoul]

So glad to see some acoustic guitar content!

[@CarolMatzPiano]

Great series!

[@huffdm]

I really enjoyed this one guys! Thank you for bringing it!

Great episode guys. Loving 'just try stuff'

[@arronchristensen142]

This was fabulous. Need more of this for sure… especially to justify my oversized acoustic pedalboard 🤣

[@mokrodrigues4515]

Wow, the song you've made is simply great! Thanks for showing how to do post-rock-ish stuff using acoustic guitars!

[@DANWRIGHTITIS]

I´ve used same outboard gear for about 14years. I´ll replace when they break. JOBS A GOOD UN FISHMAN PRO II Preamp + 1987 BOSS CH2B (25€ in a junk shop) + GE7 EQ. I added a TC BODYREZ a couple years ago. No idea what that does but it sounds great. My workhorse is a 300€ Gretch Rancher Jnr with added Fishman Matrix piezo.
