Josh Reads Your Hate Comments

[@ThePowerman121]

It’s hard to hate a guy who makes pedals yet spends most of his time talking about how awesome other peoples pedals are.

[@alphanumeric1529]

Just remember, it is all a psychological trick to get you to buy JHS pedals! Wink, wink, secret handshake, and brief pop lock move.

[@shankrl1]

Until you get into his politics, the church he belongs to is pretty bad news. I do like Josh though, but that’s one reason people don’t

[@J.C...]

Psshhtt. Go to The Gear Page. Plenty of nagativity there and other f-rums and groups, too. They're usually stuck on his politics/support of certain groups and people, something he did a few years ago, or that he's just copying other people's stuff, tweaking a few component values, and renaming it. Threads will go hundreds of pages. Smdh. It's usually all pretty ridiculous.

Hey all!! Thank you so much for all the love and support in the comments today. I can't respond to them all, but we're reading through them. You all make this channel and this community incredible. P.S. Maru is in LA, not Denver 🤦🏻‍♂

[@MannysWorldd]

Your show is awesome, it inspired me to really explore the world of pedals and guitar more. Ignore the negativity. Thank you for the content.

[@nedim_guitar]

@@MannysWorldd I also learned a lot from JHS about pedals, tones, a bunch of other companies, which lead me into other channels, where I learned even more. I used to use my Line 6 POD HD Pro, but I spent more time tweaking than playing. It's been difficult creating great tones on it, because I didn't really have a reference tone. But when I built my first pedalboard ever at the start of 2020 (it has grown since then), I have been able to find my base tone, embellish it a bit, but also go crazy with a bunch of effects. It's a much simpler setup than a digital modeller gives, there's no option paralysis, but I've still got a lot of versatility.

[@markroylance1584]

I have two of your pedals... Love them to bits! Superbolt and the big cheese! Strangely what convinced me to buy them was your honesty and being brave enough to play with your little trio!!

[@bradmathis8196]

It is because of your KZbin channel that I have more JHS pedals than any other brand (8 and counting). It is refreshing to see a pedal manufacturer heap praise not only on their pedals, but on others' products as well, particularly those that may cost less than your own. And have a sense of humor and honesty about it. Great channel, great products. Thanks.

[@MorleyRobertson1975]

You guys rock. I don't own any JHS pedals, but I've used the information you provide to make more informed purchases of pedals you've played on the show. Don't change anything.

[@davidwalter2282]

I love all the white space on the series 3 pedals and that you can draw on them with markers. I think you should do an episode where you have elementary school kids come in and draw on each of the pedals, giving them keywords like Fuzz, crunch, waves, chorus, etc. Then, you can auction off the pedals and give the profits to a non-profit for music education.

Seriously, the most unique, silly, and lovable show in the pedal world. Maybe even in the broader topic of “music” on KZbin. You guys don’t give a flippity flop, that’s why I love it. The show is clearly for fun, and it shows as a viewer. Side note, Josh, you remind me of one of my best friends in high school, it’s unreal. He was so charismatic in a unique way, goofy, and genuine-that’s why everyone loved him. The people that didn’t, were not charismatic, unique, goofy, or genuine. They were afraid to be anything “different” (than the stale original lays potato chips that they were)… So uh, you’re a sweet Maui onion chip? Idk something exotic like that 😂 Thanks for the seriously countless hours of entertainment and goof throughout that last several poopy years. Y’all are awesome

The comment about Josh’s guitar playing made me laugh. Because anyone with even an inkling of musical knowledge knows Josh plays catchy hooks and great riffs - on any genre, and in what must be hundreds of sketches considering the number of jams they do. And it never sounds repetitive. Wouldn’t be surprised if there are many out there waiting for the JHS band to release some music.

For some people if you aren’t a super shredder to their liking, you’re a hack at best. Just ignore them, their words are not important.

I agree! It’s kind of baffling just how many unique sounding jams they’ve done. Terrific musicians and technicians, all of them.

[@moronsmorons8913]

I totally agree. There is a bazilion of other channels, who just play the generic Blues/Rock-Riffs and I can't bear them. It's not only that they disgrace the quality of the pedals, they also do damage to the reputation of guitar music in general. It's 2022 and you're on YT and you're not B.B. King or Albert Collins or Keith Richard. On this channel, I always have the feeling, that the players are LIKING WHAT THEY DO and that they play and explore similar stuff without viewers or a small stage. And they don't steal my time like two well known dudes making 1,5 hours videos about tubescreamer vs. Boss SD1 (Insert any other pedal at will).

I'm purposely designed to look as cheap & cheesy ugly ridiculous as possible like 'generic milk' =)) If they simply made their 'budget brand' with BLACK boxes and yellow or beige lettering (Sansamp style) would look nice & 'pro' for a great value price = but that is not their goal.

The light blue 'pair of socks' pedal or whatever makes people RESIST the very IDEA of owning it = doesn't 'inspire' you to do 'edgy guitar solos'. Looks more like some kind of 'cooking ingredients box' LOL 'Paul Gilbert Blueberry Cream Jello' pedal?

It's not that hard =D His $hit is like Danelectro without the 'retro diner vibe' = like just a generic red box & calling it 'cinnamon toast' = stupid. Now, if it's shaped like an old car, or a toaster, then that's 'cute & funny' in an artistic way, not a dorky 'I just don't give a fuk & want 2 B goofy' way. Maybe JHS could start a 'sister brand' made wherever cheap place in Asia or something, with FLASHY design or simple black box design, & use more interesting names. I would suggest those cool 'colored aluminum' type 'extruded' boxes from Fleabay, with 'mini' design & names like 'Twang King Surf Box' or something, with a picture of a wave & a surf board &/or crown. It's so E Z 2 make something NICE instead of just 'goofy'. When U stare at the cute little 'surf box' in shiny 'aluminum blue' it makes U think of the ocean & the whole 'vibe' 2 help inspire, rather than 'The JHS My First Pencil Sharpener Overdrive' with a picture of a pencil being sharpened on the orange box = WTF? =))

All that led me to buy over 20 pedals before Ive even learned how to play. Granted I bought a bunch of either used good name brand pedals and some cheaper ones like JOYO and Donner because Im fascinated with all the different sounds. I havent even really started playing yet and Im having a ball just playing with pedals and their sounds. Dont have any JHS pedals yet but Id be happy to buy some later on down the line eventually just to support your company because of your live and let live mentality. Ive never understood the people that say this is good or this is bad when it comes to music or art. I like to say, this isnt for me but if it floats your boat then keep on doing what you like! Music/Art is completely subjective, IDK why a lot of people dont seem understand that. Anyway, keep up the good work and the positivity of this channel!!!

This show is the best entertainment anywhere! I mean, where else can I experience top level knowledge about the most important subject on the planet, pedals, and where the same people laying down the knowledge are capable of improvising jam after jam? Okay wait. Back up. How many people are improvising music live online, period? How many people that criticize you guys are capable of doing that? I would venture a guess of maybe 1% at best. The rest need to shut up because they don't know anything and don't matter. As for knowledge of pedals, I don't need to explain to the haters of pedals how wrong they are. They are not worth my energy or time. Those of us who understand the basic need for pedals as a fact of life are the only ones that are worthy of a show of this caliber. Keep up the great work and keep on rockin'! And Turtles Rule!!!! -- Violet Moon

Hi! I am writing from Sweden, and I had such a funny evening watching this show! Loved the way you answered them haters! And I have to thank you for your show! Watching this show educates me a lot of new and old guitar effects. And I love the way you present it… with a great sense of humour! Thanks!

[@leviperkins1344]

God damn, I nearly choked on my dinner when Josh said his motto was "live, laugh, love". Seriously, though, I'm honestly shocked people give you guys this kind of grief. I guess some folks just want to trash talk when they have the benefit of anonymity.

[@leviperkins1344]

In addition, a lot of the mustache comments were legitimately funny.

[@danischeesus]

I really hate I missed this live show. I have a thing for history and love hearing the history of pedals and effects. You guys are humble. I seriously listen to JHS almost all 12 hours on my mondays at work. Stay humble and keep living laughing and loving! 🙃

[@JoeyMorrison82]

Ask the guy who didn’t like how Moog was pronounced and have them say how they pronounce .gif. Or the cymbal company Paiste.

[@sub-harmonik]

He did say it wrong but why call them names and get so angry/offended/pretentious about it instead of just correcting or moving on? People are invested in/elitist about the weirdest stuff

[@MrThesaurusRex]

Having kind of a dark day. You guys made me laugh out loud several times. This show has helped me add new tricks to my playing repertoire, sharpened my love of gear, and emboldened me to create my own.

This was the best video you guys ever made. Some of the cutaways like the one about gaslighting and Josh is just staring at the camera with no comment are just hilarious. Some of the messages are just too quotable. lol This went exactly how I figured and I'm happy to see that. I'm always tuning in and out when I see another great informative video on company history that I'm interested in. The things like "he has the box" are just icing on the cake. For the record It's never even crossed my mind once that you were pedaling, pun intended, or selling something on this show. Again, Nice job, I laughed this whole episode. By the way the theme song is fine the way it is. It has always evoked a feeling of nostalgia which is perfect.

[@gregpodoliak5961]

Like ... this is like .... one of the most informative, fun and entertaining shows around. Plus, the in-house band is seriously good. All of them. Grow up haters.

[@SamJeffersonMusic]

Brit at 09:17 is extra salty because we're having our annual "this country's not built for heatwaves" festival 🕺

[@JohnWakley]

I know it's late to the party, but we love this show and everyone on it. I've never played a JHS pedal before watching this show, but I literally received a few 3 Series pedals yesterday. They sound amazing, the quality is pristine (also grabbed a Morning Glory, absolutely beautiful). More importantly though, and the reason I am commenting, is that I keep coming back to this channel because of the people on it and the plethora of information and history is astounding. Everyone is awesome. Please, everyone on the show, don't change a thing, keep being yourselves, keep being you (especially you Nick, much love bro, you rock).

[@davidpepper442]

For so many of us the JHS Show is exactly what we're hoping to see when we open KZbin. A bunch of talented, funny and creative people making music and talking about the subject we're all obsessed with: guitar and guitar effects pedals. This is dream content. You guys should call it The JHS Dream Show.

[@96mimstrat]

@25:29 Josh's face is priceless! I Love your theme song!

[@sixslinger9951]

Time for a Praise post.....I just bought my first JHS pedal...The @+ ,,,,,,best overdrive I've ever had and I've been playing and buying pedals since the 70s . Thank you Josh and the team!

[@jhspedals]

🔥

[@thejolt124]

Just wanted to say I love you guys and everything you do on this channel. I've learned so much about pedals and the history of guitar from you. You've helped me make far more informed decisions while building my first pedal board than I otherwise would have and I think you're an invaluable resource. My third (and final) son was born this week so I'm just getting caught up on this video and watching while holding him was just the best way to come home. I love all you guys, thank you so much, and I can't wait to see Nick back from his much needed vacation. Keep trying stuff!

[@Lovethemusic385]

Not a hack guitar player. You don't need to worry about mean comments. We love your channel.

[@ralph_clay]

I've been binge watching all your older shows lately. You guys are all great! I seriously enjoy the JHS Show!

[@nevillecampbellbarker]

I must declare, I am from England and you are a great guitarist! Love your show and all the guys on the team … I thoroughly enjoy every review and great little jam tunes you guys do … absolutely spiffing stuff !! Your advice and open conclusions are some of the best here on KZbin!! Keep up the simply excellent channel content!! Peace and love … Neville, England UK 🇬🇧 🙌🙌

[@gtoramirez]

Whole channel is a marketing ploy. Just ordered a Polytune, Bonafide Buffer, and Walrus Audio Canvas power supply from Sweetwater. I just want to show my support for JHS Pedal Co. Thanks for the vids guys. Been watching and rewatching over the years.

[@robertpack125]

Hey Josh - regarding your playing: ITS GREAT! Each time I watch these videos, I am blown away by your skill, your VERSATILITY, and your rock solid ...ROCK-N-Roll-ish-ability! You go, sir - you continue to play your heart out! Love it.

[@Rooger_modular]

I am a basplayer, and you have the funniest, informative and learning pedal channel there is. "He has the box" is the best jingle you have! Keep on going and you're all nice people love you all. Now.... one thing... go make some serious bass pedals! Like a clean preamp with DI out

[@davidsantander3521]

Thanks for that Yoshi gem at the end. Beautiful sentiment, glad you had such a great moment.

[@jhspedals]

He's amazing.

[@steviesteakbakes9643]

I love my white Screamer. Literally every gig someone in the crowd says “that one looks cool” 🤣it also boosts like nothing else!

[@jahnbon]

Josh, I dig your playing. You do what you do, and the joy you take in it is obvious. I always enjoy your take on things, and I have a lot of fun watching. Those who watch and feel compelled to send nasty notes are deeply dissatisfied with aspects of their own lives, and lashing out is the only way they feel they can build themselves up. The rest of the staff are cool, supportive and talented. Keep on keepin' on, folks!

[@mopetenstaub]

Guys, I used to play guitar since I was a kid. In my teens I used a Digitech multi-effect that was super affordable and wasn't very good. After 15 years I sort of moved on and didn't really play for a few years. Two years ago my daughter was born and there was a time, when she only would sleep on my chest while I was sitting on the couch. So she would sleep and I was awake in the middle of the night and had nothing to do. Then the youtube algorithm lead me to one of your videos, I don't remember wich one, but honestly: Josh, you got me hooked on my guitars again! I started playing in a band again, sold the crappy Digitech and started building a proper pedalboard. My first JHS pedal was the 3 Series Chorus and then I just had to get the Muffuletta. You guys are amazing, quirky, funny, weard and loveable!

[@michaelrash1478]

I love your show guys. Josh, you remind me so much of a guy I went to high school with (and jammed with all the time). His name is Josh, is 6'5" tall, and people thought he was stoned all the time. He is a great guitar player and great guy, you seem very similar (and genuine). Have a great day!

[@ivorycybernetics]

I like everything JHS comes up with. Pedals..shows..etc….great attitude, and great pedals. Go Josh!

[@jhspedals]

thanks!!!

[@BLU3Fi5H]

The JHS Show is what I watch in the mornings, instead of news or anything like that. It literally makes my day. It's impossible to please people these days, and I love the fact that it's like water off a duck's back for you. I, for one, love the laid back feel of the show. I literally haven't owned a single JHS pedal, yet, but it's in the works, lol. Side note: I just happen to love the theme song! When I first came to the channel, it was the first thing that caught my attention.

[@kmacmckee2931]

You guys are awesome. The dry humor and tongue in cheek sarcasm is amazing. Do what you do. Keep on keeping on. (New stinger?)?

Wrong. The social experiment generation IS real. You can't avoid the general public that surrounds you. You do so at your own peril.

The last few weeks I've been waiting for new videos to come out, I laugh a lot with Josh, I really enjoy the jams, the band, the stories and the tremendous amount of interesting facts about music and equipment. tremendous channel. Keep it up please! Greetings to the whole team.

[@ieblack37]

I always appreciate how positive the show is. It's always something to look forward to and I love learning the history of these pedals and how they have shaped music over the years.

[@mattstanley8944]

Thank you for owning a business and employing your fellow human beings!!! Thanks for all of the info on pedals ! 🤘🏻

[@halofour01]

1st of all, Nick is awesome! I love his drumming style and I'd love to jam with him. I'm primarily a thrash metal player and I never use pedals but I still watch almost every episode because they're fun, educational and put me in a good mood. Even though I usually plug straight into an amp I still enjoy learning about the tonal possibilities that are available. The JHS crew seem like a bunch of genuinely great people that love what they do. I also love that the Instagram account highlights female artists. Keep being who you are!!

[@danielherbert8060]

lots of comments already, but wanted to say I loved this. Really appreciated Josh's discussion of the diversity of thought and background of JHS workforce.

[@sethl1588]

I personally don't care what people swilling beer and eating Cheetohs in their underwear think. This is one of the best channels going. Keep up the excellent work guys.

[@thruxtonvalrico67]

The fact that my best friend, who’s first language isn’t English, has to ask me if you’re serious about hating certain things, (Rhett’s slide tone, transistor amps) make me laugh!! It takes me hours to convince him that you’re joking. I love this channel.

[@segueoyuri]

I haven't noticed until now that Josh didn't had eyebrows lmao
