That v2 Panther may have been hard to build, but it’s pretty much an “everything you want in a delay, plus more” kind of pedal.

[@samuelxavier2473]

Well, no. That would be the El Cap plus the DM-2 plus DMM plus Rubberneck, Echoplex... ad infinitum. No such thing as too many delays. Or flangers, for that matter.

[@joshuaraysummey7679]

Its definitely an everything I want lol, cant speak for anyone else, but I'm with joe on this one

[@roryphillips57]

I bought a 1.5 and I prefer it because it's bigger, so my big feet don't get in the way of tap tempo

[@tgrimesify]

I've always loved the opening riff on the Switchfoot song "Mess of Me" and that's that left side of the Bun Runner all day. It's such a nasty fuzz, I love it.

[@alexfischer8471]

Drew Shirley has the feedback looper and has used it as recently as 2019! It’s in a rig rundown!

[@bmoklsc]

I’m rebuilding my pedalboard and haven’t settled on a boost. A mini banana boost would be wonderful. There’s always money in the banana stand.

[@zachary963]

Great show

[@shiloheaston9839]

Great episode! :) You all looked really happy and like you were having a blast! Thanks for all this content. I really look forward to these videos.

[@Mdog19]

I actually own the ‘73 Ram’s Head in the grey color scheme and had no idea how rare it was. I’m a huge David Gilmour fan and jumped on the opportunity to own a JHS circuit based off the original. The back of the pedal says #19 so it looks like I got one of the last ones produced. Oddly enough I was going to gift this my brother a few years back after I purchased a Muffuletta. Glad I didn’t.

[@Timw00d13]

The poor Green Tea wasn’t mentioned but that used to be my go to. Loved that pedal.

[@300Foxes]

The 1st jam is called "Where the Pink Cats Have No Name".

[@philipbrister]

No one told me to hush my baby and now I can’t hear the show. Thanks Josh!

[@michaelpeterson5061]

Possibly my favorite episode yet. Glad to learn more about some of JHS stuff, and DAMN those jams were fun.

[@michaellucas1102]

Revolver is my favorite album of all time. Good choice Nick!

[@jdavid1006]

Came for the pedals. Stayed for the INCREDIBLE jams!

[@danhillis1331]

I’m so glad you finally talked about the Bannana boost I love this pedal and I think I have a printed version!

[@eduardnicolescu5122]

You think? :))) Pics or you don't got it

[@richardclark.]

Man I luvs me some switchfoot! Fakeyfoot! And drew is certainly a monster. Their live shows are just packed with energy every time. And I didn't know Josh was from Muscle Shoals. That could explain a lot. Some serious tone, players, music, etc...came out of that swamp.

[@benjaminfowler4513]

Anyone who hasn't seen it, id encourage to watch the muscle shoals movie here on KZbin. I learned a lot

[@danebabbitt7381]

Awesome show again guys! Thanks for showing us all this stuff Josh.

[@nimblebutler]

Josh - I would ABSOLUTELY purchase a mini banana boost

[@danielspangler8358]

You guys are fun to watch and listen to. Thank you for making my evening relaxing. Oh, did I mention you are all great musicians as well?🤘

[@nickm.9474]

Just played a show with Switchfoot Saturday. My god that dude is good. And super tasteful with his effects. I meant to get a picture of his setup because it was crazy cool.

[@jhspedals]

Cool!

[@andrewpappas9311]

I remember a friend of mine that I play in a band with once picked up a Bun Runner and he used that for a long time, that was the main fuzz he used when we played live and he really liked the Tone Bender side

[@dmyers9230]

Great show, great knowledge sharing, I just love watching / listening to you guys play!!!

[@matthewpollard2843]

I have to say the aesthetics are on point, the colours, etc wow, they look really good. You nailed that JHS.

[@dougmo2177]

I’ve had a few of those over the years. I still have and love my firefly fuzz. It was immediately the best tone bender for touring when it came out. The bias could dial in my fuzz no matter what the stage temperature was. Always on the live pedalboard and I have the box. Of course, I have the boxes for almost all my pedals because I have a problem…

[@tone1798]

Great episode!! The jams are incredible and well, so are the effects pedals💚

[@howardmaryon]

The “Not Tom Petty” jam made me feel quite emotional for a moment, you nailed that tone.

[@Erkinstien]

I laughed pretty hard with enjoyment. Once the groove sets in its almost like it drives the fingers to respect the TP tone.

[@lettherebemorelight]

I really want a haunting mids unit with the "scream" and "terror" etc.. labels 👻

[@TheMachinesWon]

Just got the muffletta recently and I love it…great episode u guys are the best!

[@ofeldtc6]

1. Pleeeeese bring back the Banana rocket. 2. Did you get the pedal you were trying to trade for for the 73 rams head and what was it? 3. Thank you, love these videos and always look forward to them.

[@sun6moon9]

Very nice! Great insight as well. And so much trivia and fun info. Great episode. Ps: Sweet Tea colour is really sweet in fact.

[@painkilla1972]

First jam sounded more U2ish than U2. Great video, thanks!

[@gagebrown8067]

Great video!!! As someone who is interested in building pedals but doesn't know where to start, I would love to see a video about the basics of pedal making pedal circuits or even how to breadboard effects! Keep up the good work!

[@bldallas]

Those aluminum knobs on the pink V1 are sweet, and I see a side toggle switch, which is my favorite control on a pedal. Toggling always feels good.

[@xJAKEx117x]

Lol "Reverse grilling a steak..." You know it's good when Josh not only just laughs, but has to think about it for a second and has nothing to come back with haha, that was gold Nick.

[@peteytwofinger]

thanks for turning me on to the idea of using a klon on bass. i never would have thought to try it but yeah - it makes the bass jump out of the mix - sounds good so far so we are gonna try it live . i asked Addison some months back and finally got around to trying one of our klon clones that i built in front of a zoom B1on and its a great versatile pedal for the bass guitar.

[@RColbyCheese]

Excellent episode! Hours afterwards I found a Banana Boost and very carefully opened it up to see what was inside. Serial #54! I was stoked. It may not be a printed version, but that seems very rare. It's dated 6-21-11, and the signature on the top and bottom of the case is B&M, and there is also what looks like additional initials of ZW. Serial # on the circuitboard is 800-01007-1. Thanks for all of the great pedals, episodes and information!

[@DanHains]

Apart from the great content, I stop these videos at certain points to try to spot pedals on the wall that I own. Like pedal bingo. Today was Pigtronyx Disnortion 30:00 Excellent vid, thanks guys.

[@conk971]

I might have the most rare banana boost...? Some guy I bought it off in Dallas got it in a custom enclosure from you guys. Silver body with yellow knobs and no banana. JHS on the side. If that counts as rare. I don't know.

[@bryantwalley]

sounds cool either way..

[@jonlorbacher]

Holy balls I miss my Bun Runner. That thing was on all of my boards for a few years. It does all the gnarly fuzzes. I had most of these minus the Pink Panther, the Ram's Head and the Klon. I also forgot how gorgeous the OG Panther sounded

[@alexnaturalis1179]

That first jam sounded so much like U2. Not enough to warrant a cease and desist order though. Nice job, loved it.

[@OneMomentFromForever]

I love my jhs 808, I don’t know why, but it sounded better than my bonsai, so I kept it and sold the bonsai. I use to run it at 18v (now 12v)

[@benjaminfowler4513]

The jam at 30 mins in sounded like some at the drive in to me and I loved it

[@juliosanchez1614]

I have a Banana Boost serial number 364 still on the box. It’s the printed version y’all were talking about. I enjoy it very much.

[@jeremeydonovan8286]

Dude the harmony in map of my life jam is so “amazeballs”! I want to crawl inside that tone and live there!😮😮

[@Unusualsuspect24]

Love the insightful questions from the bass player!

[@mrredritehand]

Congratulations on your success Josh, you seem like an exceptionally talented and all around cool guy.

[@middle_pickup]

I remember someone from my church getting one of the silver klon clones from you, and hating it. hahaha I never played it. I'm sure it was fine. I also remember playing my friend's very early Panther with the loop. We played my line 6 verbzilla on the octo shimmer mode in the loop of that one day. Amazing. The darker than DMM repeats paired super well with that shimmery bright stuff.

[@justinjones4199]

Hey Josh if you ever read this I have quite a extensive handpainted collection of JHS pedals and have been scooping up original models of your pedals over the entire pandemic. I've amassed quite a collection and just wanna say I love your stuff and I'm always hunting for fun one offs or crazy crazy stuff like that damn Giant calculator pedal you apparently made for a store front as a joke lol love it all. Can't wait for any new pedals coming out!

[@violinmiata]

I feel you! My problem is that I like to buy early JHS pedals too, but I make pedals and some are so close (not clones, just close tonally) that I can’t justify the high prices of the early JHS stuff now. Had a chance at a super early banana boost that would have been great for the collection but not for the board. Still have regrets over that lol and I make something very close sounding but probably a completely different circuit. The rabbit 🐇 hole 🕳 is deep

[@Ronphayes]

I pumped the brakes to let all y’all know that Justin is likely the holder of the largest quantity of rare handpainted JHS pedals. As the former “worlds most emotionally invested JHS pedal collector” I am confident that my friend Justin here reigns supreme over all yer @$$€$. Couldn’t be a better guy either!

[@yngvi91]

I’ve got a printed Bunrunner, sounds really good and looks mint.

[@ZRobertson91]

I've got the Steak and Eggs! I don't use the compressor side nearly as much as I expect to, but I love both sides when I need/want their sound

[@nickm.9474]

That delay with the loop is sick!!

[@fuzzyskiboy]

Steak n Eggs!!!! Yes guy. It’s been on the board for years.

[@jamwayofaiken-augustarockb7643]

Yes, i want access to the banana booster. Even before you 'splaind and played it. I love the color combo on that!

[@christofferainek]

These jams are just pure 🔥 - how about a full length improvised gig? Chat/patreon selects the pedals and theme for each tune? 🤩

[@DbeeSapphire]

Yes, I would buy a banana boost, but of the two on the table, I like the one that was placed below the other. You know, the one with the actual banana color and thin line on the graphic. Love it with the green dials.

[@RealGuysEatRealPies]

Please make that Mini Banana Boost! I’ve been looking for a fitting, cutting boost to go with my JHS Crayon

[@robertdrozak4091]

Im loving the pg1. Thank you...and please so reissue a mini version of a banana blender boost for sure.

[@benjaminhawksleysr6573]

You guys need to do more MINI PEDALS! Reissue the Banana Boost and then release a new set of mini pedals! The Fuzz Foot and the Tidewater Tremolo are amazing and I have limited real estate on my pedal board.

[@blakegriffith1835]

This is the only channel on KZbin I check weekly.

[@NBNracing]

+99 for the Mini Banana. I love a good treble boost and the blend knob is awesome.

[@mnathanielc]

My wife’s bass pedalboard is a pandamonium volume pedal and tuner. People are constantly complimenting her tone. I wish it was still available to recommend to other players.

[@samuelpeterson2131]

I love the pandamonium! I was disappointed they didn’t talk about it even though it’s in the thumbnail.

[@ryanmoss2128]

So glad I've got a Pandamonium, one of my absolute favorites of all time

[@WailingRaven]

Me knowing that I might not be able to own any of these, just being here watching, soaking in the information that I might forget in a month and just enjoying the jams. Gotta say, the Bun Runner and Silver Panther sounds great.

[@Mahan07]

I have one of the rare Banana Boosts! Bought it off of Reverb about two years ago. It has hollow JHS letters versus solid

[@chuckplainview4085]

That is the happiest drummer I've ever seen. What a jolly fellow

[@ScottfromBaltimore]

The Panther seems like my Digitech PDS 20/20, but with tap tempo, analog vs digital, effects loop... holy moly. It's like an amp: so much engineering in one box. Who needs this? I don't know, but I kinda want it.

[@videomove]

that delay with send & return is so cool

[@OTownProductionsDJ]

Just picked up my Stateline today!

[@aghostofthenow7135]

I had sought out the 'Clean Banana' 🍌 boost. Probably, bought the last brand new one, a few years ago. Thought the dark logo banana, look 'stale'. 😄 Yes, it works great! ❤️ It was a tough find. 😎🇺🇸🍌

[@Ronphayes]

Yinz are gonna have to get the mini banana now! Someone “randomly” purchased our last Banana boost today. My heart still breaks over the Roland BeeBaa prices, but there was practically a bidding war over a pedal that sat dead quiet for 6 months. The wild rollercoaster (or 90s rollerblade?) ride of the guitar gear market just might be to much for me!

ask your wife if she remembers the morning show in Tupelo with Buddy and Kay Bain, They had a morning show for about 40 yrs or so. Did the weather but always played music and had special guest. they cut about 30 albums in nashville, They go way way back,.. I play lead in my band . my cousin Tony,Uncle Buddys son. plays in a fusion band. he is in Tupelo i am in Knoxville Tn. and by far you are our favorite pedal builder, Its the quality . We love it, Thanks for all the work, Your pedals are making History with us !!!!!!

That Panther is amazing - ned to find something like that within my own modest budget.

[@simonkaye3512]

Hey Josh, Time for you to look into "past fx" pedals made in Brisbane, Australia and let them blow your mind!!

[@MichaelMacherey]

The black on gray Panther logo looks great!

[@shawngalbraith9366]

That said, Bunrunner is one of the coolest looking pedals you have made and it sounds great. Go Back Jack, Stack it Again!

[@playdelay]

I have a Morning Glory v4 PDX edition... I assume they are less common but I just liked the colors!

[@Arirmar]

All these pedals are appearing on Reverb now. And of course the prices are astronomical. XD

[@erikavery8569]

They went up another 25 to 30%. 😲

[@thedeadxtras9927]

The jam with the pink panther v1 to me sounded very like U2, nice riff and the pedal sounded great.The full range of pedals sound great, the 73 Rams head with delay sounded stunning and I’m not a massive lover of fuzzzzz, but I think you’ve just got me liking them more and I might have to pick one up, shame I probably won’t be able to get an actual 73 Rams head. I’ve been saving for a Morning Glory for quite a while now as it’s a definite must have pedal for me, cash is very tight for me at present but even if it takes me 10yrs to save the cash to get one then I’ll definitely do it, I’m not gonna buy any other pedals until I can afford to get a Morning Glory I want and need one so much, it’s the one pedal I’ve heard after lots of research that will totally suit my guitar style and just what I need for my band, it will be perfect, I might be 80yrs old when I’ve got the cash for one but even if I have to play on stage with a Zimmer frame to play with a Morning Glory it’ll happen one day. I love JHS pedals and your show, All the best to all at JHS, many thanks Steve.
