[@johnisevil]

- We can do anything we want. We choose our destiny. - Sometimes melody meets tone in a brand new way. - Less coffee, more gear. - If it sounds good it is good. Is this the most philosophical a JHS episode has gotten? I'm leaning towards yes. Plus all of these deserve to be on merch.

I have had their reverb pedal on my board for almost a year now. Delay too, its been on my board for a few months now and the tape is just right, I love the degrade control. Love that you covered this.

[@FergVision]

@Neon Thunderbird honestly no issues at all for almost 2 years, it’s my end of board reverb and it has stayed while other things like the Keeley Hydra have left. The Plate reverb is my always on for the most part, it feels a lot like my boss pedals, not the most exciting but keeps me coming back for the sound and features. I love having presets and I used the foam that came with it to make a protective cover/foot switch for the presets. I have heard a few reviews saying they think the presets aren’t up to snuff but I can’t hear it. Is the spring reverb a little fake sounding? Maybe but it’s totally useable. Otherwise it’s aces.

[@FergVision]

@Neon Thunderbird it’s not but it’s got a decent buffer in it, output is the same impedance as a bonafide buffer.

[@FergVision]

@Neon Thunderbird sorry dude I’m replying from two different accounts but yeah just google the pedal and manual, on their site it has specs, it’s buffered but a good one for end of chain. I run mine in my FX loop but it sounds good right into the amp too. It plays nice with every pedal I’ve tried it with. I had a little issue with one old PSU giving me digital noise but after I upgraded to proper power supply it’s been quiet.

One of the really cool things about the preamp is that it is a 2 channel amp sim. It has both the clean and dirty channels of those amps which you can switch between using the footswitch. Not only that, you can set the EQ for each channel separately. I use mine mostly for headphone playing and it does a great job for that. The cabsim is OK, nothing amazing. But it's cool that you can turn it on or off depending on if you are using it with a real cab.

[@Mistertbones]

I love how Josh is introducing me to brands I've never heard of.

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

This is a really great introduction to the FLAMMA pedals. Think I will be getting more of these in the future, (or maybe today, as they are on discount at Walmart for the Holidays). Just got my FS22 today, and I love it. Also got the Flamma FS05 Modulation pedal. Great combo. On sale at WALMART, with free two day shipping 11/23/2022. FS22 = $80, and FS05 = $60. Here are a few early observations on the FS22... First of all, it sounds amazing. All 3 programs are as described, with no background noise. With the Level controls turned fully clockwise, you still hear the direct input signal. It does not turn down the input, it only adds delay/reverb to the signal. Therefore I would not normally use this, in an effects send/return path in a mixer. It is better used in front of a mono/stereo amp, or in an guitar amp effects loop. Position 1 Reverse delay, has no highs rolled off on the repeats, with the tone control placed after the delays, not in series with the feedback. The other two delays have the tone rolled off on the repeats, so as they repeat they get more rolled off, with each repeat. The reverb and delay, run in parallel, not series. In other words, the reverb does not go through the delay, and the delay does not go through the reverb. They both go directly to the stereo outs. It is true stereo, meaning, there are two separate mono effects, with no cross talk between the left and right signals. Left input goes to left output, and right input goes to right output. Unless you only plug something into the left (mono) input, in which case it goes to both L+R outputs. You can plug a mono input to the Left input, then patch the left output into the right input, and take the right output to your amp. This runs your input signal, through two copies of the Delay and reverb, in mono. Like having two mono pedals in series. Be careful with your amps volume control, because this setup can get intense and go into feedback, if your delay feedback is turned up high. Quick note about the FS05 Modulation pedal.....it is easily the best modulation pedal I have ever played through.

I’m so happy you did this video. I was so blown away by the pedals in the budget price range that I thought there may have been something wrong with me 🤪

[@Tyrannosaurine]

Great demo of the best budget pedals on the market. (Pretty sure they are using Mooer OEM as the delay and reverb are similar to the Mooer 7 series.) Wish you had shown everyone the use of the 2 channels oltion on the Preamp and the Cab sim. Coral = Two Rock, Blueeye = Friedman BE MB5= Mesa Mark 5.

[@J-Hell]

When I see digital mod / verb / delay / amp sim pedals with lots of voices, I can't help comparing them to a full-blown multifx like the Zoom G3n (or even the plastic G1 four.) I assume it is far easier to tweak individual pedals while you are playing, but the accessibility of saved pedal chains and the cost-per-available-effect is just mind-blowing in the multifx.

[@keithb5612]

The Zoom MS-50G is a great multi effects pedal for the price. Presets are easy to make up using the free Tonelib app via smartphone and USB cable. So many sound choices are available as well as noise gates and compressors etc in one small pedal. A real keeper on my pedal board or as a practice tool using an attached stereo adapter cable and headphones. Hours of creativity!

[@TheSquareOnes]

@@WarrenBey That's a great argument for some types of gear but doesn't really apply to pedals. You can't just practice your way into the same final product, the only way to get the sound that a certain pedal provides is often to just have that pedal.

[@WarrenBey]

@@TheSquareOnes I would make a counter argument and say stop chasing other peoples sounds and try harder to make your own. Dude, I figured out how to make R2-D2-like robot noises the other day on my guitar. I rarely play with effects. But when you try to make something new I really think sky is the limit. Especially with these new DSP modeling units. I saw a guy one night that had 3 Eventide H9's on his board.

[@TheSquareOnes]

@@WarrenBey I don't think that even applies here, nothing about wanting a tape delay or whatever implies "chasing someone else's sound." It's alright to enjoy an existing effect and want to use it in your own music. This whole conversation just seems very strange on a youtube channel whose entire point is showcasing cool pedal effects people might want to try.

[@WarrenBey]

@@TheSquareOnes well, somewhere here you've confused ownership of a sound to the biggest problem with gear demos today. We live in a time of choice fatigue. JHS and the thousands of other gear channels are bombarding us with daily choices. All for that greedy KZbin money.

Not that it's hugely important, but one thing that I found with my Flamma modulation pedal (the bigger one in yellow) is that it's labeled to run on 300mA. I measured it myself and it was pulling more like 200mA. Still, it's one of the highest amperage out of all of my pedals so I kinda keep an eye on amperage if I'm daisy-chaining it.

Considering that any pedal you buy really should at least aspire to be used by professional, working musicians, something being "almost professional" doesn't exactly inspire a ton of confidence.

[@shorerocks]

Good one. About the ekoverb, I mailed Flamma (quick response btw): "When I power up my pedals via powerboard the Ekoverb is NOT "on". Meaning, the LED lights are out. Now one would assume hitting the BYPASS button would start it. No. I need to physically disconnect it from AC, then re-connect it, then the LED light up." The answer was "I have checked with our engineer team and was told that this is how it designed". Fair enough. But this little thing keeps me from using it because I just do not want to do this every day. Sounds great btw. And built quality is good, too.

I have the “big” modulation pedal, the yellow one. It’s great, I haven’t fully explored all it can do. It’s a little annoying that the list of modulations is on the side of the pedal, so when it’s stuck to my board, I can’t see what the different modes are. I had to print out a list which is now another piece of paper on my desk. I wish there was at least an abbreviated description on the front of the pedal. There is room for that. All that said, it’s a great pedal for a great price.

[@jasonshaw2065]

I have that one and thought the same thing. I also get option paralysis with so many features. And it seems to affect tone, or maybe I need to adjust a setting.

[@darrellwestrick2110]

That pedal is half trash. I had one and returned it. Loved some of the sounds but it wouldn't behave. Memory presets wouldn't load properly. Glitches out constantly. Got the smaller green version but you have to unplug it every time you cut power to your pedal board. It also has a noticeable volume drop. The ring mod and tremolo are very fun but it's a toy I would never use live.

Hello! This Monday I got my Ekoverb and I was thinking "when is Josh going to talk about Flamma?' Well...here we are... Big fan of every video!

[@bipbipletucha]

My buddy just got one last week! The universe is in sync

[@50Something]

I have the Ekoverb too, it's very impressive once you give it an independent power supply!

[@somosunitedlatam]

@@bipbipletucha Yep, IT's a tiny box full of surprises

[@somosunitedlatam]

@@50Something Yeeees! And they include the power supply...ambient music on a budget🙌🙌

[@somosunitedlatam]

@Majority of 1 There are docens and docens of great brands out there and I've discovered more in the last 2 years thanks to Josh's videos

[@jorcorex]

Been watching since day one and without a doubt, jam wise, this episode had my favorite tracks! Great tones!

[@ianb78GP]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but, “if it sounds good, it IS good” was something attributed to Duke Ellington. You’re in good company!

[@jasonmartin7137]

366 Days Later and I'm watching this for the first time. The Mod Galaxy song sounds straight out of 28 Days Later.

This episode had more uses of the 'he has the box' stinger than any other I can recall...but no greenscreen. Not that I condone the use of greenscreen, of course.

[@FFGG22E]

He has the box...of a brand new pedal.

[@lucasnorena3029]

Awesome videos. Awesome serious humor. Love the videos. Thanks for the taking the time.🙃

“Vacation Minutes” was my old bands future name.

[@FoodFolksandGuns]

The Girl from Ipanema inspired standby elevator music always puts a smile on my face

[@ansonjeng]

I’m curious about their audio interface/mixer! Could be the perfect podcasting unit

[@BenPhanStudios]

Awesome! I've had the yellow overdrive pedal on my board for months, it's fantastic!

[@jsalmons84]

I’d love to find out what these factories look like and what the average employee who builds these boxes lives like. As a pedal historian I think an objective deep dive of this topic would be amazing. Too bad Josh would end up in a prison and Nick would mysteriously vanish while filming in China.

[@MrScrofulous]

A prison where he would constantly bump his head on the roof.

[@ileutur6863]

Go look at how amazon workers get treated to get an idea

[@yijiancai1651]

Still amazing to me so many Americans are ignorant of the world outside. Go visit china and see yourself before saying that

[@MrScrofulous]

@@yijiancai1651 ASsneither an American or a Chinese, I'm sure that the average factory worker in China has better wages, working and living conditions than their American equivalent. AS for the idea of child slave labour making complex electronic devices in basements, well, I think that's just silly. My comment was purely a joke about Josh's height, nothing to do with China.

[@PaulVaterlaus]

@@yijiancai1651 You are correct, but that’s because we’ve been burned in the past and those of us who are trying to buy ethically, well, we care about who is profiting and who is being exploited. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to travel to China and do a personal factory inspection of every place that I purchase from. In the US, we can at least assume that employers aren’t keeping slaves or asking undocumented citizens to work, we can ensure that employees are working under safe conditions and being paid a (hopefully) living wage. So, yes, perhaps we are more ignorant of the working conditions in China, but you’d be wrong to assume that China has a glowing track record of worker’s rights. (And that’s not to say that the US is doing much better, but again, we have some basic rules that people play by here.)

[@pavelyuryev386]

The last combo is just perfect, love it so much

[@markholden1662]

I've bought two Flamma pedals. Both failed within minutes. The Ekoverb would work for about two minutes and then needed to be power cycled to work again fo another two. The Modulation sounded broken from the moment it was plugged in and became entirely non functional after about 10 minutes.

[@noelcervantes7125]

Odd. I've had my flamma reverb pedal for several months and I use it weekly. Never had an issue.

[@antcantcook960]

Ha you’re too stupid to realize you’re underpowered g them.

[@markholden1662]

@@antcantcook960 Flamma specs them for a 300mA power supply which is higher than a lot of pedals, so I can see why you'd think that, but the issue was the same on 300, 500 and 600mA power supplies, so, nice try. I'm sure most of them work fine, but I'm not inclined to throw more money at them to find out.

[@keithconner9036]

The eye roll and vacation minutes killed,me. Thank you

[@roscoechance5155]

I really dig your drum sound/eq - would love a spin-off episode where you discuss miking and recording your kit!

[@travisbarnes4647]

Man, I have sooo much respect for Josh. He builds pedals but still has no problem what so ever talking other brands up. He's not scared to show people a more affordable pedal. I would love to be able to afford every pedal Josh and his company builds. But I'm a paycheck to paycheck low collar worker. And listening to Josh talk up on low budget pedals helps me afford a decent pedal for a price I can handle. Like I said, would love to be able to afford every JHS pedal though lol. Thank you So much Josh.

[@firesailstudios1003]

All I heard was cocaine, acid, and mushroom… and I thought Josh was so wholesome… Jeez! Jk I loved it like all the episodes and I don’t even play guitar lol

[@theceoofgibson2563]

A little known fact about flamma is that from my understanding they are essentially the same thing as Harley Benton, one of the best budget guitar companies in the world. Source: Harley Benton multi fx, flamma multi effects.

[@dalejones9404]

Those little kids in china solder pretty good

[@davelouis4004]

Got 3 of them ,multi dist , reverb/delay and the mod pedal , all great and versatile!

[@MakeLikeAFridge]

Still like em? What are the best parts and uses?
