Josh Scott: What Are Sweetwater’s Best-selling Pedals Ever?

[@philczternastek8760]

I own: EH LPB-1, Boss- OD-3, Dan-O TalkBack Delay (new version), JHS Bonsi, Cry Baby Wah (pre 90s) and Behringer Fuzz. Most of my pedals are behringer or dan-o (complete food series, working on the 2nd set) and other cheap pedals. Josh has taught me all pedals are good pedals and that they deserve to be wanted.

49:15 when Josh talks about how the delay went from DD3 to DD5, it made me smile because I lived in Japan for 4 years during my Air Force days. The number 4 is pronounced し(shi but sounds like she). The word 死んだ(shin da) means death. The Japanese have even created an alternate pronunciation of 4 よん(yon). I even started feeling superstitious of 4 after being there for 4 years.

[@Obradoom]

I just wanted to write this comment! They also always try to skip the number 4 in lots of things like floors in a building, hospital and hotel rooms, ect. It's like a cultural superstition and a really unlucky number unfortunately 💀

[@gcvrsa]

This is a somewhat incorrect characterization. 「死んだ」in Japanese is a past tense conjugation of 「死ぬ」。Also, it's not really accurate to say that the Japanese have created an alternate pronunciation of 四。Japanese existed as a language prior to the adoption of Chinese characters. The "shi" reading of 四 is the Chinese reading. The native Japanese word for "4" was always "yo(n)".

If this hasn’t been mentioned yet with regard to the “El Capistan” It’s named after a tape machine part! “What is capstan on tape player? The capstan is a rotating spindle used to move recording tape through the mechanism of a tape recorder. The tape is threaded between the capstan and one or more rubber-covered wheels, called pinch rollers, which press against the capstan, thus providing friction necessary for the capstan to pull the tape.”

Blended with El Capitan in Yosemite - renowned for its huge wall. Probably suggesting a wall of tape delayed sound.

In Japanese, the number 4 is "shi" which is also the reading for the Kanji for "death", so sometimes the number 4 is skipped over because of that connotation. Boss is a Japanese company. So, now you know why Boss only has one model with "4" in it.

[@SlyHikari03]

Thanks. Was going to comment this,

[@TimJacksonOriginal]

The parent company Roland also have a similar thing with model numbers - the whole x0x nomenclature for drum machines/synths/samplers etc misses out 404. I guess the doubling up of 4 really would have been too much. They have a few very notable exceptions, namely the Jupiter 4, the newer sh-4d (where the original analogue synths went sh1, 2, 3, 5,) and then they did produce a Vdrum TD-4 module. Those last 2 are both much more recent pieces of gear though, so perhaps the current generation are less superstitious. Interestingly Korg have a!so sidestepped using 4 in their Kaoss Pad range. They had the KP1, KP2, KP3 and then their fourth incarnation was a play on the fact it used 4 effects in series so they called it the KPQuad, so it's kind of a KP4 without writing a number 4 on there.

[@PP-bw8ig]

Josh, You use the Morning Glory as an always on pedal. A lot of people do. It's great for that. So can you make a version with a dip switch somewhere that puts the pedal in an always on setting so that the foot switch acts as the gain toggle rather than as a bypass switch? Hope you somehow see this. Thank you.

6:04 fun little story here: about 6 years ago I practiced with my band in the same rehearsal space that Built to Spill used at that time (I live in Boise). BTS being one of our favorite bands we would often geek out over what gear they were using. At the time, Doug’s pedal chain consisted of 3 ep boosts in a row, followed by a vintage memory man into a fender bassman. Basically, and this is fitting with BTS’s guitar sound, huge, Huger, HUGEST. So if you were wondering where all the ep boosts went, ask Doug Martsch (hands down one of the sweetest dudes in the music business).

People approach it as a Tubescreamer, where the higher you crank that gain/drive, the more it slams midrange to your amp. The original Metalzone has a sensitive gain knob where it's easy to screw up and get to unusable/obnoxious territory, killing your mids in the process. The Waza Craft series fixed that issue, thank goodness.
