Today I'm honored to be test driving the new JHS Voice Tech, and it's one of the most mind-blowing pedals I've ever played. Made from long forgotten analog tech from the cold war, the Voice Tech is the most authentic and life-like vocal synth I've ever heard. Josh and his team at ‪@jhspedals‬ have been hard at work on this concept for a few years now, so make sure you go to their page and show them some love!

[@jts3339]

Waiting for the $29 Behringer version.

[@HazeAnderson]

You'd be a fool otherwise ...

[@paulyguitary7651]

Amazon Basic version for me.

[@GEfromNJ]

Based on my experiences with the Behringer Octave pedal, it'll probably sound like Jim Carrey making the most annoying song in the world from Dumb and Dumber. Or a chorus of Gilbert Gotfrieds

[@Tjones36]

Facts😂😂

[@jts3339]

@@chuckdriver8269 Behringer actually bred a race of rodents that they put inside of the enclosure that can sing what you play. That’s how they can sell them for $29. No batteries required - you open the back and insert some hamster kibble once a month. Once I forgot to feed my pedal and it stunk up the whole house.

[@SPaulAndrewMaertens]

Me: *Knowing this is a prank* Also Me: "This should have a blend knob"

[@Dariotoma]

A blend run by an expression pedal...blatant oversight 😊

[@coltonhuntmusic]

As someone watching this on June 26th, 2024 I am super bummed lol. I’m assuming the ‘2 years ago’ sticker is April 1st from 2 years ago 😂

[@davidasher22]

Um yeah. They should make the dates on those’d old videos a bit more precise.

[@jfreedner]

​@@davidasher22just click: ...more

[@megwatts1903]

Oh, brother. It took me 11 MONTHS to realise that this was a 4/1 gag. I kept looking for it to become available, thinking that maybe it was just taking a long time to get it into production or something like that. Call me dumb. That said, I still want one...

[@Beat-Brugger]

And in the Inside isn't electronics but a small army of dwarfs. So you don't have to feed the pedal with electricity but with small peaces of humus. Thank you both. It was great fun watching your video.

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

The electricity is there to keep the dwarves in line...

[@chrisoconnor1800]

'Army of Dwarfs' needs to be a band.

[@polehuggermusic]

🤣🤟🏼

[@larrybethune3909]

Clearly the dwarfs were trained in Gregorian chants.

[@lynyrddeville]

Hmmm? What day is it today?

[@CausingLewis]

I almost believed it, but then you Josh said, "I'm really happy to be teaming up Rhett Shull to present such a product."

[@iused2BAfireman]

Lol. Dead giveaway.

[@williamnichols6253]

So I'm not the only one who thinks this is a goof?

[@QPatrickQ]

@@williamnichols6253 it’s April fools day, so it’s 100% a gag. A good one though. The vibrato clips had me cackling.

[@okayestguitar66]

Naah... 27 seconds in, said long lost tech from Italy and he wasn't talking about mozzarella, cars or wine, I saw right through it. LOL

[@SCOTT-ki3ve]

They had me until I read this comment. Hook like and sinker. I was going to order this tonight

[@U2Corsair]

I'll admit, I was buying into it until about half way through the video and then realized what day it is. Bravo. Really well done.

[@xealzy944]

Bro if I didn’t read your comment I still would have thought lol 😂

[@timcarter7202]

I've definitely learned over the years not to trust anything from JHS on this day...

[@ryvers]

@@timcarter7202 wym? I got 3 jhs bulbs on my board and they word just fine!

[@BrandonOutside]

Duuude, I legit thought they were serious until I saw the comments. I seriously went back and watched the "history" part twice because I was confused what he was talking about. I was like "what does this actually have to do with the pedal?" 😂 Bravo guys, bravo!

[@Papa-Kev]

lol same

[@geo577-gb4gy]

Ha Ha the jokes on me. Wasted 10 minutes of my life searching to buy one. Till I realized it was a prank and there is no such pedal. Note to myself: Never, Ever, Ever buy any JHS pedals.

[@chuckmaithonis9132]

April 1st, dude...

[@Viper-dz2kw]

There are some Roland synth pedals that can do something similar however

[@ThePermanentCase]

Rhett was so convincing that I now have trust issues. If he’s this good and demoing a fake pedal, he must be just as good at demoing a crappy product 😕😂 The academy award goes to…

[@damagecontrol60]

Then Rick Beato jumps onstage and slaps Josh!

[@Sloozer45]

Lol. I think the truth is that pretty much anybody who has a successful KZbin channel would do fine in sales - they all communicate effectively, for sure. For example, Keith at "5 Watt World" channel seems, on the surface, to be just a regular, no-nonsense dude (and I love his work - his latest, "the guitar history of Keith Richards" is brilliant), but I think you'll find if you listen to him, he's a darn good salesman when he's taking care of the peripheral business of his channel.

[@Elfwingson]

@@damagecontrol60 😂

[@nickgranelle7680]

Lol He holds too much power now. I went to the jhs site and was let down. Wtf I wold have bought this

[@Gumdropnipples]

Make this guy speaker of the house so we can live in peace 😆

[@baseboardmatt]

You can tell this isn’t a real JHS release. The artwork is too good.

[@michaellewis9167]

Sick Burn!

[@OhBHayes]

Ouch!

[@ParanormalDramaLlama]

lol

[@abelardo1]

Toushe!

[@sethdad2217]

You can tell its not a JHS. cause it sounds good. JHS= Just Hackey Shite

[@2000jpangburn]

My favorite part was when Rhett said the lack of an expression pedal was a blatant oversight by Josh! 🤣

[@MT-yb1dx]

I would have taken the pedal back and got somebody else to demo it. Maybe John Browne can do some sick downpicked throat vocals. Or throw some post distortion and now you can have Disturbed "oo ah ah ah ah!!!!" Vocals any time

[@edfu_text_U_later]

My thoughts exactly, jeesh Rhett!

[@jayfagerlie3369]

Yup- that one made me laugh out loud :)

[@PupilofSociety]

Glad I’m not the only one who caught this.

[@Nyzioable]

That and saying how the vibrato dimed out is "dumb"... Lmao

[@JDDavid]

They had me at first. I was pretty blown away at Rhett's opening demo tune. But, I basically knew it was a put-on as soon as Josh started calling one of his own products by so many... well, really by _any_ superlatives. Calling the Voice Tech the "single greatest invention in the history of music technology" and "a new form of human expression" he even pretty much maintained a straight face, but even so i thought "that's not the Josh I have ever seen or heard talking about his own (JHS) products." Ever! Seriously, anyone following the channel knows what I mean. Sure, he will wax exuberant over pedals from Boss, Digitech, Wampler, heck, just about any other device maker and I take him at his word, because its genuine. But he's just not the toot-your-own-horn, I'm-a-hero, self-promoter type, even though his pedals and amps (and channel) KILL IT over and over again. So, great performances from both guys. Rhett even got in a diss, that the vibrato isn't following the player, that it's like "an easy button" which lent an air of believability. But Josh, he went a little over the top about his own pedal, eh? That's my take. I love the whole concept though, and they never give up the ruse! "Never drop the con" -Sneaky Pete

[@CatGPT_]

do you know which pedals he used to get the lead tone from 0:40 onwards?

[@alanfbrookes9771]

I'm disappointed. I was just about to order one.

[@dorrianstone7264]

Man, I was on Sweetwater looking for this thing! Rhett & JHS are cruel pranksters!!

[@EricTheCleric93]

I love the writing that went into making Josh's story so grand.

[@christophermallett7983]

Seems legit

[@kdakan]

@@christophermallett7983 I had the same response on my comment this morning, texted this number and I was asked to buy a gamer's gift card worth 50 usd for the delivery cost of the pedal, doesn't sound legit to me, so I turned down the request, even deleted my original comment, he doesn't even mention there's a giveaway in the video, and you can see the same thing on a few other people's comments, this is supposed to be only one prototype, not many..

[@aaronshortmusic]

It’s actually a great idea for a pedal. Make it happen Josh!!

[@gathda]

It is a good idea. We have the technology to do it. I don't think it would be that hard for an experienced plugin developer to write the DSP code.

[@moddquad8362]

You can already buy one, its called 'Electro-harmonix Talking Machine - Vocal Format Filter Effect Pedal' Odd April 1st troll for JHS.

[@aaronshortmusic]

@@moddquad8362 Yes. Makes me wonder if tomorrow they will start shipping and the joke is that it wasn’t a joke at all…

[@MehYam2112]

I think a pedal like this is actually an inevitability. It doesn't seem that out of reach, text to speech and deep fakes exist, so why not sim sing. I think when a device like this does get made, they'll use this video as a "used to be a joke" marketing spin

[@edwinbaz]

Me: "Oh, haha. Seems Rhett and Josh were just being silly for April Fools." 5yo Daughter: "Yeah. But Josh is also silly on other days."

[@timpierceguitar]

Hello Rhett!!

[@ay909485]

Hi tim

[@mattbaker3765]

Is that really you, or the pedal?

[@TomStrahle]

You had me. Dang it. I’m like “I can’t really see when I would ever use this… but I want one.”

[@yonitznkc]

Think about singing lead vocals, and adding background harmony with your left hand.

[@baneverything5580]

What do you mean? I ordered four of them to keep raccoons out of my corn patch.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Me too!

[@ed2027]

You totally had me with the seriousness of the presentation and the backstory... And the funniest thing is I only realised today that it's a 4/1 gag, (so basically 27 days later). I kept a tab open on my phone's browser since then, as a reminder to find out how to get it, and I would totally have placed a preorder for it, silly me 😂😂😂 Great job !

[@mookiiie7889]

Don't feel bad, I just realized it now...

[@bownimrod]

Cheese Tech

[@OldManJeremy]

I'd be completely stoked if this wasn't being released on April 1 and I wasn't completely convinced that you all were just massively trolling us. Nice one gents, we all needed this!

[@Mystninja]

If you play it with a reverse delay it says. Worship Satan

[@stevedx02]

Even though this is obviously the newest release from JHS's April Fools Series, I have to admit that I still had to fight the overwhelming urge to look for a link to order one. I think it's pretty safe to say that it's time for my friends and family to organize that sorely-needed intervention to address my lifelong struggle with Gear Acquisition Syndrome...

[@dbombaable]

I was really wanting to buy a Vocal Tech. And picturing what I could do with it!

[@rocksully]

The tracking on this April Fools pedal is outstanding.

[@mykhedelic6471]

Read some good ones, but this has my vote, so far.

[@xyzzer]

Sounds like a Tarantino movie theme...

[@mikeomatic9905]

Really puts the Miku to shame

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

Here I am in July watching this and thinking "damn I NEED one of these pedals"....google search brought up nothing, so I came back and saw the release date...you got me sooooo good!

[@darrellstyner0001]

I was so proud of myself for not falling for any 4/1 gags this year. I watched this on 4/4 and went for it, hook, line, and sinker. Well done gents!

[@darthmamdouh]

Same here: I was listening to this while driving and didn't check the date it was posted on... and I utterly fell for it. Rhett and Josh's performance was so straightforward that I never once thought to second guess any of it.

[@jarrodbritton471]

hahaha me too 😂

[@gregscrase7018]

Fell for it too, in a moment of weakness 😆

[@happypuertorican]

I laughed. I fell for it for like 10 min. But some of sound clips were too funny. I was like wth why wouldn’t I just sing. But then I’m like well I can’t sing. Hahahah🎉 I love you guys!!

[@notso05]

im watching it today and just realized it reading this comment. im pretty pissed right now

[@jowyong6769]

Watch this on 2nd April and was totally sold on this pedal. Then I read the comments 🤦🏻‍♂️ This needs to go into production man. The world needs another Miku!!

[@timmungenast]

As the owner of a Miku, I agree with you.

[@mpirron1]

What they are implying is nothing like the Miku, its a seriously very bad idea

[@Ltdan128]

This would fit perfectly on the Live at Pompeii set. In all seriousness, nice chord progression.

[@thatderek]

Live from Pompeii is EXECTLY what I was thinking during that ripping solo. April 1st aside that was an incredible sound, nice!

[@ksell5441]

Yawn

[@DerekRonin]

watching this in August, totally fell for it... got me good

[@davidmalley1014]

Totally got me! Josh did a great job teeing it up and by the time Rhett was done demoing it, I was ready to buy one. OMG! Great show boys!

For a joke…. The production on this is ridiculous Rhett. Thank you sir! Sounded outstanding. Freakin hilarious too

[@elgatofelix8917]

I've tried this pedal personally and it's garbage. Videos like this get made for marketing and profit only.

[@charly62]

The "Ap" and "ril" section is missing on format knob. And I thought it has been released already on April 1st? However, as there will be only one pedal built forever maybe it will replace the Centaur as the most expensive pedal... 🤔😂

[@jkinthewind]

Pair it with the DigiTech Trio and us guitar players don't need all of those other extraneous band mates that just take away that much deserved spotlight on our amazing talent.

[@maynardburger]

Guitar players long ago figured out ways to get rid of that annoying bass player. And drum machines have been around a while of course. It was only a matter of time before we figured out how to erase the vocalist as well. Well done JHS.

[@TranscendentBen]

So is this finally the device that finally makes the statement "she'll be waiting for you backstage after the show" true? Asking for a friend ...

[@josephkemler5668]

Old troubadour reboot...

[@johnfrenette]

Plus less folks to split the gig fee with

[@alexbitzan8747]

This is really cool - I wish it was real! JHS - make a digital pedal that does this! Great video. All the knobs turning and sounding like they actually change things, the side switch, it makes it seem real. Awesome content.

[@sam0227]

I just place an order for this pedal. This is a real game-changer! so cool!

[@billyruben6540]

Dod gammit. Watching this in September. I so wanted this. I had wondered why I hadn't heard of this, but didn't think much of it. I was in until you turned up the vibrato. Something was amiss. Had to check the video's publish date. Well done.

[@zacharywatson885]

I keep telling myself “I can’t believe I’m still watching this” while I continue to keep watching it. No chance I would have lasted this long for a real pedal demo. Appreciate the Friday fun fellas.

[@OTTOAUDIO]

[@johnnorris1983]

The vibrato is simply curable by a lower cut off.. Drive and bite will be the biggest next step… Super tek… good to know..

[@Deliquescentinsight]

I have to say, it took me a couple of minutes before the penny dropped, it is not a bad concept! Haha, well done guys, very dry treatment, the vocal 'wah wah' expression pedal 'oversight' is comedy gold.

[@leegarza3605]

The decay is what gave it away for me. Nice 4/1 shenanigans, though.

[@buzzmantx]

this is just pure brilliance in action. totally sold the whole back story. Well Done gentlemen, well done

What? I just spent the last 15 minutes trying to find one of these things for sale. Now I see the date, April 1. Very funny, Ha ha. (Okay, I'm stupid.)

[@L.Scott_Music]

This was so well produced. One of the best 4/1 videos ever. "I have never played anything like this before"= truth.

Mad respect for how hard they committed to this! Laughed my ass off!

[@BuckFlicks]

2 minutes in to this, I'm watching for the first time (November 27th, 2023) I'm pretty sure this is an April Fool's video. If it's not, I need this right now.

[@AdamEmond]

Dammit. I was so stoked for a little bit. Ugh. The intro was Beautiful, regardless

[@DiditDah]

Now my grandfather actually worked on this project at the jmi factory, and he told me about the best feature for the original formant section of the circuit which was the muco switch. It worked in tandem with the vibrato control to make your voice sound fresh and phlegmy like you just woke up or strained and tired and frail like after the third day of namm. Big misstep.

[@deacondeschenes7508]

I love how much time and effort went into this

[@menschlicheswesen84]

In min 8.00 i could see he is not strumming the chord for harmony voicing...

[@shaneszutenbach3111]

I think Rhett is trying very hard not to bust out laughing as this was recorded! I wonder how many takes they had to do!

[@lepanzon]

Man, I know that it’s a joke, but I so want this to be real hahaha. Just imagine the cool musical capabilities you could do with this, pairing it with a delay, tremolo, chorus, glitch/stutter effect, etc.

LOL!! What's great about this... is that while the video is a very sharp prank, I have little doubt that it reflects the 'future'. I'm sure that vocal-synth tech like that will come in a 19" rack mounted box first... but that it really won't take so long, to get it into a pedal. 🙂👍

[@lorenzobastia4043]

Finally someone talks about this pedal, here in Italy is used in every board. We do Opera with guitars, Vivaldi, Puccini, Verdi, Toscanini were all Italian GUITAR composer. I'm so sad fake news spread all over the place, finally we are no longer standing in the shadow of the cheap Miku pedal clone Thank Rhett, Thank JHS, Thank April, Thank Fools.

[@braydenpeoples5809]

I was %100 fooled by this. I was ready to pay whatever JHS was gonna charge to get this pedal on my board. Then at about minute 6 I was face palmed super hard, realizing I got fooled. And my friend saw the entire thing

[@stiffmata]

The back story, the applied musical examples and the conviction of the delivery are incredibly convincing. Josh"s face while talking about Edison? hahaaaaaa!!! Great work guys!! Bravo!!!

Great April Fools joke. Laughed so hard throughout this video. Cheers to u both! On a real note, I love the aesthetic of that pedal. JHS needs to make something with that color scheme and knob choice

Well played folks, this is up there with the first fuzz schematic being drawn on the back of the Declaration of Independence.

[@splashesin8]

It sort of reminds me of the "Cellos" in the old PowerMac. I loved using that voice to read documents when I first was learning to use screenreaders. It was built into the PowerMac, and worked with simple text documents, and email. Was pretty fun and funny.

[@christopherdhill2354]

You had me! I forgot what day it was even ! I was about to text all my friends and tell them and then you turned the vibrato to max and the jig was up! Who were the singers? You gotta bring them out and let them sing . They have amazing voices! ;)

[@alonzogarbanzo]

Yeah, the guy runs out of breath at the end of that note but Rhett's fingers haven't made the moves needed for that. The ruse is nearly perfect up to then.

[@NnTFBA]

I get a Nick from JHS vibe but I can’t prove it. I believe.

[@bassplayer10]

Great a guitar pedal for my Esquivel tribute band.

[@paulyguitary7651]

Chorus pedals…pshh. Choral pedals are where it’s at.

[@jsantos1104]

Immediately reminds of JHS’ “ The Bulb” pedal. LoL so convincingly well done, love the effort and good fun! On a side note, Rhett’s solo tone is killer!

[@redriverbike]

Even though it's April 1st I was buying into it for a couple of minutes. Well that's interesting and kinda weird.....wait a minute 😂😂 Great job, love it! LOL

[@phoenixrivers5414]

This just proves how much we all believe in Josh's abilities. I immediately thought of the Korg Miku pedal and assumed there was no reason this "Voice Tech" effect couldn't be achieved. That my limited understanding is why I'm confused. So I'm 50/50 about this. 50% upset that this pedal doesn't actually exist and 50% thankful that I'm not as uneducated/ignorant as this video made me feel.

[@BillSaltzer]

OMG, had me for a second. How you kept a straight face for this is incredible

[@williamweber1010]

I'd like to see more work on a "Spirit Phone" pedal. I'd definitely add that to my board.

Hopefully this goes into production soon. I'm still waiting for the boss klon pedal from a year ago!

[@nigellangridge1975]

A minute in an my BS detector is going crazy. Looks at calendar….ahhhh.

Dude... You aren't the only one lol, I sent this to a good gear budy of mine and he pointed it out to me lol.... I knew this came out on April Fools Day, but the production, delivery, and just seriousness of this video made me believe lol!!

[@allanflippin2453]

A truly strange effect! I agree that the formant control needs an expression pedal. :D

[@ConwayBob]

I was late to this party (6 Feb 2024), and I fell for it too! I paused the video at around 2:01 in and went looking for this amazing pedal and wondered why I didn't see it listed anywhere. Ha! This is one of the best April 1 spoofs ever!!! Hilarious!!!!!

[@jamesnoe2127]

Absolutely brilliant. You guys are able to deliver it all with a straight face! Thank you for the effort to produce this ! I can’t wait for next year.

Beautifully played, Rhett. I'm a fan, and I learn much from you that furthers my journey (at 64 yo) down the road of playing the guitar. But, as an actor and acting teacher, I'm very impressed by your commitment and belief in the story you're telling. Simple delivery, conversational but with some real respect for the massive discovery that this history making pedal actually is. It's not important that I believe in the technology, all I need to believe is that you believe it. And I believe. I was a little leery when you threw some shade about Josh not incorporating the ability to use an expression pedal (though that makes absolute sense to be able to do so), but I kept on believing. Even now, when I take a long hard look at the calendar, I still want to believe! Thanks for 16:47 of joy in a world that's gone mad.

April fools! hahah - But in all honestly with Virtual Instruments that mimic choirs and pedals like the Meris Hedra that do great harmonies, I could see a pedal like this one day being built. I loved the Pink Floyd vibe and sounded great!

[@daverice2426]

I love that it's completely plausible, like a Miku with vibrato; just really, really dumb. Well done!

Does it chug?

Such a wonderfully produced collaboration of amazing shenanigans! Loved the whole thing (even though I didn’t catch it until the 3rd, I could still read the posted date). My favorite part to nail the legitimacy of the sale were the undertones jab of… “It might’ve been cool for JHS to include expression control for that so you could get kind of a natural vocal wah-wah sound. Seems like a pretty blatant oversight… anyway…” Trolls’ Gonna Troll!! Great jab!! Well done all! 😎🤙

The "Choir" mode on the Boss VO-1 almost nearly possibly kinda does this. Great 4/1 gag that could distantly remotely have a chance.

[@mpirron1]

Let's hope not.

[@johnmalcolm4822]

In the early 80s you could MIDI a Stepp guitar synth to a Korg M1 and play choir chords.

[@mpirron1]

@@johnmalcolm4822 Totally different, What they are implying here is novel analog voice synthesis, not digitally sampled voice synthesis, it would be vocal creation, not vocal imitation. AI paired with such technology and ir would quickly be, in every way better than the human voice and would silence humanity.

I just got my early release version and I recommend stacking it with the Wampler Psychosomatic Drive for some otherworldly sounds!

[@Erkinstien]

You forgot to put the Wampler Pantstortion In the chain ⛓️

This is sick! Amazing Demo Rhett...I'm sold!
