Electro-Harmonix (EHX) Rarest Pedals!

[@Ottophil]

Its about mental illness. Collecting/hoarding(same thing) is a sign of being crazy

[@melvins1992]

I wouldn't ever consider brand loyalty to be selling out; he isn't being paid by EHX, hell he isn't even telling us to buy these pedals, he's just presenting his collection and knowledge for the sake of preservation.

So actually the guy behind the ehx digital delays is David Cockerell, who also worked for EMS. When he went to Akai (don’t believe the Headrush is related at all) he used the tech to make the S612, first of their iconic S-Series samplers. And it’s super unique, might be one of the only samplers that has EHX like sliders for sample start/End, loop control, knobs for a pitch LFO, and something super awesome and rare: overdub at the press of a button, all on an amazing 12-bit sampler. I haven’t seen the original 16SDD, and always wanted to play one, because of how much I love the S612

[@calebneff5777]

These are all super fun, but man that snare sounds amazing.

[@PetParadiseVB]

And can we appreciate Josh’s playing? He’s fantastic.

[@JohnLockeNesss]

This is a big statement, but halfway through and this is my favorite JHS show episode so far. Nick in the box, the tasty proto punkish jams, a Nels Cline reference. Josh, Nick, Addison, and Daniel, thank you for brightening up my Friday double shift.

[@peterkitts8815]

Totally sticking it to Rhett in the second jam. Best. Slide. Ever.

[@sumyupee]

I've been watching this show pretty regularly for the last 2-3 years, and this is without a doubt my favorite episode.

[@asims1066]

30 minutes of EHX weirdness, He’s in the box, and a Rocket from the Crypt Tshirt. This might just be the best video I’ve ever seen on KZbin!

[@bunkre]

In the start when he said his studio is in Easthampton I thought "oh wait, I wonder if he's in the same building as Healey Guitars, it looks similar" and then a minute later, there's Josh playing a Healey. My worlds are colliding here and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

[@cpk313]

Right around the 22 minute mark when the janky reverb and the red big muff box comes out Josh's internal collector is going off the rails.

The Collector He sat mildly composed on his chair in the studio, which had evolved into an internally-facing museum...a collection that would feed his obsession and drive it at the same time. To call it a self-oscillating feedback loop would be an irony too grand to behold. And yet there at the desk sat the collector, brooding over his magnificent trove like a divine shepherd of golden fleeced rams, never to be sheared, never to be sold, purely for the awe of the gods. A job well done. He sat beside another; a guest in his studio; another collector spoiled with both envy and pride for the accomplishments of his compatriot. A sibling rivalry of sorts ensued at the disclosure of one sacred treasure after another. These were the best days of our lives. This was no tactless hoard of some deranged hermit stockpiling nonsense in the chambers of his insanity. This was a masterpiece of curated works of art. Though his presence gave a deft betrayal of silent contemplation at all times, there was something else lurking in the measure of his posture...something in his eyes that lay beneath the asymmetrical crop of locks strewn hastily about his brow. In his relentless pacing, there was, dare I say, a hint of interruption in the continuity of the conscious mind...a madness that propelled itself forward on the insatiable desire for more. They came in droves to watch the two converse...the collectors. But it was the witnessing of the madness set free, there in the studio, that they truly longed and chased. Stroking celestial melodies on the strings of tempered ambition. The Collector and his compatriot came to a resolve. Some say he still resides in that place of pure obsession. Others tell tales of a voice heard in the wilderness echoing the laughter of his pursuit. If you seek him you may come across a stranger in the dark, and if by chance he grants you exchange, be not surprised to hear the name of Daniel Danger.
