[@JimBoom92]

i love these kinds of episodes, you could even go a bit more nerdy and talk about how the effect is archieved, especially in analog units. my mxr univibe is always on just to move the notes a bit. the eqd aqueduct is also a great and very flexible vibrato with a cool look.

I’ve been using vibrato and chorus for 35 years and I never twigged that a chorus is just a vibrato with the dry signal left in. Brilliant.

[@BrentGrowe]

I like this type of episode

[@jinjxmusic]

Thank you for this video - I love everything about this! I am a long time chorus/vibrato fan. I wish ALL vibratos had the "rise" function - without that, I struggle with the vibrato if I can't control the "bloom" of the effect. The Waza VB2 has that and it's hard to really get behind a vibrato that does not have that function. I've even tried to have some modded though most modders won't touch that... but that Shaker might get a second chance. There is nothing like this sound.

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

These educational-episodes are why I found this channel, why I use pedals now, and why more than half of the pedals I’ve bought are JHS. I’d love to see one of these every week, but I understand that you’re pretty busy around there at the moment. By the way, the 3-series overdrive stacked with the Notaklon into my AC-30 is the best tone I’ve ever had. Thank you. Seriously.

[@bloodswarms]

Powerful J H S. Amongst fierce competition, you guys remain in my top 3 KZbin channels consistently because you keep bringing it. I watched the guitar history series the other day and I couldn't stop until I watched the entire thing. ha

[@tysonkeffer]

I am just starting into playing electric. I have a boss katana and will be messing around with the on board effects etc for a while. However. I know before long I will be investing in pedals so I have been doing online research to learn. I really appreciate the straightforward teaching you do here. It's like sitting with a friend who's not out to sell you something but to share their knowledge of something they love. When I do take the plunge abd buy my first pedals they will most likely be JHS. Thanks for what you do.

[@SaphroxStudios]

Yeah. Yes. Amazing. Whoop An EPISODE!!!!!! More please!!!!

[@MrMont-ue8kh]

I love my 3-series chorus used in vibrato mode. I feel like it has some sort of compressor built in - the notes are wobbly but smooth and just go on and on. Well done, JHS!
