It's hard to express how much good Josh has done for the guitar world. What a legend.

[@maxhocks2006]

Josh is a great pedal maker, great historian, and super funny. But I think people don’t talk about how good and versatile of a guitarist he is. He plays clean, dirty, and emulates all kinds of different styles. Sure he’s not one of the greatest of all time or a virtuoso shredder. But the man can play. He could be a solid guitarist in almost any cover band or most touring bands. That is wild.

[@ryangunwitch-black]

Dude. He shreds. I love his playing.

[@jaysharpESQ]

Me too!!

[@2000WTube]

Honestly shredding bores my ears

[@MoncoField]

Although i agree with you about Josh being versatile, are there really guitar players who can't play both clean and dirty? Cause ive yet to see one

Josh's Channel is a GEM!!!....It is like a free information Center on how pedals are built, what they are ect...and DESPITE having his own company openly praises other companies products, new and old, expensive and inexpensive....He is very Unique, informative and highly entertaining.....(and NO I did not get paid by Josh to type any of the above....haha).

[@wiscodavid]

The reasons why this video is forcing me to shop for a JHSPedal: The sense of humor of Gary Shandling. The Pedal knowledge of a fun history professor. The "matter of fact" common sense wisdom a big brother. And his pedals sound amazing yet he loves everyone else's pedals too... I want to work for this guy!!!

I love this guy. His sense of humor is only surpassed by his knowledge. And for the record, picks are a huge part of your playing and sound. I too was like "just gimme something pick shaped" and I was happy. I found a titanium pick shaped like a standard Fender pick. It was $10 each. WHAT? Lemme see that thing. Now, it's the only pick I will play with. I keep one in my wallet, one in my car and one in my bag and one in my pocket. They're so good!

I got into pedals through his channel and still think his channel is the best asset for learning about pedals and the history of brands and different styles of effects. Great video here! Morning Glory = desert island pedal for me

[@scooter5005]

Respect for bringing up many different tones and styles

[@FAIRWEATHER_MUSIC]

The ageless Don Carr and the absolute best guitar pedal peddler in the history of guitar pedals! Great episode!

[@ethermod307]

Very inspiring! 13 years ago I went to my local guitar shop and compared my true analogue Carbon Copy with all the available digital delays back in that day and the Flashback was the king. I bought the x4 version immediately when it came out and it's been on my studio since then, I use it daily. The perfect combo of nice/simple delays, 3 presets, tap tempo and a looper with simple functions. I literally use it in almost all my projects, including many experimental electronic music ones.

[@Hasselblad9999]

I had no idea how excellent a guitarist Josh is. The man kicks butt.

[@CyberneticArgumentCreator]

Love the walk-through, super entertaining. I think if anyone who shows you their "tone" and it isn't harsh, they haven't played with a live band before. If your tone is "full" and "huge", you probably play in front of your amp in a room alone a lot. It DOES sound great in your room, but everyone eventually has that low end excised for playing with a band, either through pedals or the amp or the mixing board. When Josh is around 18:00 into the video and playing his base tone, stage 1, stage 2 and walking through it, it's HARSH and bright by itself. And I know it would sound awesome in a mix.

[@comeonin76]

That Jazzmaster is absolutely killing it

[@stellar_cartographer]

I wish I could find more John Scott jams on KZbin, he's an awesome player, super inspirational tones and phrases together

[@rikkousa]

You just framed up the sentiments of many of us…I try to anticipate which little known pedals he decides to elevate to his audience-often growing their value by 25-75% overnight.

[@joesikorski4080]

Josh is a very solid, dependable guitar player. Everything he plays is.... right. No matter your technical ability, that's a difficult feat

[@MrJingles021]

So nice to hear that I'm not crazy that I prefer a clean amp and use pedals for gain.

[@ileutur6863]

Yeah me too, I never understood the hype about amp distortion. It feels no different to me than pedal distortion, except for the volume levels needed

[@moonorbust7740]

Don’t matter where the gain comes from so long as it gives you the sound you’re looking for. I’m a big fan of an Orange Rockerverb sound so I went and bought it. I’m also a big fan of the Boss HM2 sound so I went and bought it.

[@maartenstevens9848]

It's really interesting what Josh said about the simplicity of the board. As much simple pedals as possible, no secondary functions you should memorize, no menu diving. It enhances creativity.

[@EnterJustice]

It's why, despite the cost, I prefer a pedalboard over a multifx. Just having all the knobs and switches visible at a glance is key to experimentation. I admit: I have some pedals with secondary functions and where some knobs and switches are labeled 'X', 'A' or '2' (Strymon, Walrus). But there it comes down to just sticking with the same pedals and learning them inside and out. There's no point in having 50 effects pedals if you barely use them.

​@@MoncoFielddidn't he say once that one of his favorite fuzzes was a Behringer Super Fuzz that was, like, $30?

He is so honest and he knows what he wants, that really catched me UP squire thoughts are inspiring for everyone thank you for all my feelings tonight ı felt, ❤

[@carltonlarsen]

So much fun! I have several of those on my board too! Pitchfork, the TC flashback, and I could not live without my polytune. My "more better" pedal that is always on, is a Marshall VibraTrem. All knobs straight up and it is so subtle but just a "better button". I tend to leave my Fender 4-10 bassman pedal most of the time too. The pitchfork is amazing too I agree.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

[@mr.k905]

It’s like you have to have almost everything to realize that you need almost nothing. Sometimes it takes the better half of a lifetime to learn this. Big fan of the basics approach to pedalboards here. There are millions of tones you can get out of only a few standard (not rare, not expensive, not eccentric) pedals.

[@ITigerbaum]

This is what happens when two men, madly in love, with what they do for a living. Big love going out to you guys. ❤️

[@andrewalderman]

It's cool to hear him talk about the Boss Gigadelay. I love the interface of that one, with the big Boss-style footswitches for the tap tempo, and it sounds good. I use basically one setting, and adjust tempo. Electric, acoustic, and even mandolin. One of my all-time favorites.

[@davebarone506]

I too am a pedal junkie, so I relate to everything Josh says. I'd like to just throw in my biggest ,pedal epifany. Nothing to do with actual effect pedals, but I LOVE the volume pedal, it's like a gas pedal to me, but I learned to wire it in after my dirt pedals and just before my timed effects, chorus, delay, and reverb etc. I did it wrong Forman years with the volume between my guitar and pedals. Try it, just a couple 12 in , Pancake connector jumpers to the volume, sitting off to the right for easy foot control.

[@robtoc]

Could watch Don and Josh talk guitars, amps, pedals...all day long. Great video!

[@marmelaki]

So what's the actual order of the pedals? At some point he mentioned that the Fuzz is first, but that's just weird...

[@adamclark1611]

Im pretty simple…. Korg Pitchblack Advanced, Amptweaker Tight Metal II, Ibanez Tube Screamer TS9, and a MXR Smartgate. As for the picks, Ive used the Dunlop Ultex Jazz III’s for a while. I’m pretty much stuck on those.

[@Vermonster23]

Are use my big mouth Russian fuzz with the game barely on. I also used to Mesa boogie distortion pedals. One after the fuzz witch is a throttle box, and the other one before the fuzz witch is a flux overdrive. All of the games are in the lower third, if not the lower eighth and when you combine them all together it’s a glorious huge distorted sound.
