The Story of Clean

This is how we made it.

[@bcook6960]

Giving everyone a peek into the making of Clean is such a treat. It was really cool to see the prototype in a modular setup. What an interesting way to really poke all the parameters! I love this pedal. Can’t wait to order one for myself this holiday season!!

[@markhammer643]

A nice demonstration that the biggest step towards doing *anything* innovative in audio (which this is) is to first LISTEN to the things you like (and sometimes don't like), describe, analyze, and deconstruct what is going on and what the sonic components you like are really doing, and then figure out how to make them happen. Observation->Description->Analysis->Prediction->Replication.

[@collisiondevices]

why do you guys always do the best video? the stereo sounds amazing

[@brubecktime]

Congrats to everyone working on Clean! This is such an amazing idea / concept for a video. More like this for future releases please :)

[@chrislink73]

Oh man those black versions of Clean looked *puts on sunglasses* Clean. Great work, guys. Can't wait to plug mine in soon!

[@thetimberowlsband]

A peek behind the curtain! Love the approach of trying to give the clean tone as much attention as the dirty tone people always focus on. Thank y'all for all your hard work!

[@LauraSquirrel]

Speaking as someone who picked up a guitar in the early 90s from listening to Death Metal, I grew to absolutely adore a nice clean tone when I am playing. Sure, total heaviness and brutality is fun and all. But, chilln' with a sweet clean tone is great too.

[@watchclark6482]

Amazing to see 1) how much time goes into making something that, outwardly, seems so straightforward but is really complex, and 2) how much passion and encouragement there is along the way. Really neat!

[@NormMacDonald-fk8sz]

Love the video and giving us an insiders view on the process, along with all of the Slack messages. Can't wait to get my hands on Clean when they start shipping!

[@vinylarchaeologist]

Using modular synths to prototype the pedal kinda blew my mind

[@EdgeofBreakup]

Loved this video. So cool to see your process and obviously created with love.

[@LP-123]

Ahhh! What a fantastic documentation of the process. MOAR PLEEZ!

[@ClintonWilson-q4v]

Dudes! Very cool to see all the work that was put into this. Can't wait to try it out!

[@bodenschatz10]

Had to pause and say that.... Wow. I love the white and all, but green?? Might hold out on this until a special edition green version is released. Because its gorgeous.

[@Tylox7]

Great video showing the behind the scenes work. Ordered mine last week and can’t wait to get it! A lot of those other color options were really nice.

[@13aphomet]

Wow.. What brilliance.. You guys rock.

[@versoinstruments]

Such a cool and inspiring video! What a intense process and wonderfull work you all did! And also wow to the video edit: Going through years of your discord, searching for all these comments and get them tied to the video journal... what a mountain of work!

[@geoffcline9593]

I've been waiting for this for a very, very long time. This video validâtes what I hope(d) CLEAN will be. Someone in France is very happy.

[@pjforde1978]

This was such a joy to watch. Also, as someone working alone in Toronto, it kind of makes me long to be part of a team again.

[@Anjiruu]

Love that demo track that sounds like McBaise did a happy song for the Hylics 2 OST

[@auxarcen]

I love this, the fact you all use slack makes this feel real to me, which is a little weird I love all the context, this was clearly a pedal that is loved

[@harrisonbreshears4324]

Really inspiring! Excellent work, y’all!

[@michaelomalley6292]

Amazing. Really. Well done. It worked and I love you guys

[@TUNNELOFREVERB]

Loved this doc. Fantastic

[@IronPig_75]

what an absolutely enjoyable video. brilliant.

[@JUNGLEJUICEJONES]

okay now make the Dirty

[@AnitDas]

even the documentation is clean, dang, well done chasers

[@lilSchmoob]

AAHHHHHH I literally commented on a JHS video like a month ago about a distortion pedal of theirs (PG-14) that emulates sag, and I asked if they would ever consider doing a sag pedal but with clean tones - as I could get the PG-14 to sag with only a gentle overdrive tone. I started my search for a pedal that could do this with clean tones and I finally think I found it 😭 it's like the heavens answered my prayers. I've pre-ordered!!!!

[@LifeGQ]

That black version was 🔥

[@jeffconrad8259]

this is such a cool video! thank you for sharing

[@mattmattga]

I could never afford the pedal but damn did i love the video!!

[@Guitarman007]

Not clear this is very useful if you already have a great compressor and modulation pedals. Might be interesting to play with though.

[@janhenckell4178]

I already preordered but seeing this video I want to order another one.

[@cityz3n]

i kinda like the looks of the beta units a lot. makes me think of painting my CBA pedals.

[@MoXyiD]

are you doing a dynamic harmonic series manipulation?!!?!?

[@GodsUnrulyFriends]

How does it work with bowed instruments?

[@mmmodular1878]

It's interesting that there is a prototype eurorack version. Meanwhile, I'm velcro-ing this pedal on a blank panel on my Eurorack case lol

[@SONWU]

great documentary!

[@stevejonesphd]

Hero's journey indeed

[@DalelCampbell]

I had to watch this at .75 speed😅 I love your story videos. It gives a connection to the pedal before I even order or own it. Nice work! Slow the editing down a bit😬

[@maxwellclark2345]

Knowing you guys, my guess is there will be a black enclosure version for the 1yr anniversary. Now the question is: can I wait that long without buying one?

[@BreakfastatSynthphonys]

Can’t wait. Preordered mine Day 1

[@risskipp]

I would buy the soundtrack to this video.

[@child_inc.]

awesome video :)

[@Ubi_Qui]

aw that was touching

[@Tibbon]

I'll take a eurorack one!

[@captainlovett4724]

Been waiting for an actually pleasing green pedal. Shame you passed on it.

[@starluxstudio619]

These dudes are super proud to be dudes lol

[@cesteacy]

Overpriced Tremolo. Got it

[@fullbodyunibrow7383]

I vacillate between hating that innovation lies firmly in the hands of the well-off (wonder why rock is dead?), and wanting to take out a paypal loan to get the damn thing.

[@electronicaudioexperiments]

🤠

[@stopinterview]

Cool idea. Don't know/care about the rest.

[@HerbieBancock]

Does it do anything but make stupid warbly noises nobody wants to listen to?

[@sixpots]

There’s an entire community of tape delay enthusiasts that disagree with that sentiment.

[@hockeytalk6084]

I’m sorry but I have to agree. I support this company and own 2 of their pedals but no matter how much I want to like this, I’m not understanding the hype. It sounds bad 😂

[@JacobsInternet]

Maybe it’s not for you? Maybe that’s ok? If I don’t like something but someone else does is the thing good or bad? I enjoyed listening to this. Am I wrong? Am I nobody?

[@LetsGo_Brandon]

He/him 😂 Communist Clean

[@hockeytalk6084]

Right 😂what a strange priority. I’m guessing it’s some weird liberal company policy. Didn’t think these guys were like that, just odd to me. Like bro, you make overpriced guitar pedals what does that have to do with pronouns? Leaves a bad taste in my mouth actually lol

[@LetsGo_Brandon]

@@hockeytalk6084 let’s ignore reality while we simultaneously mooch off science and a society with science as its foundation

[@kingsecho3351]

It’s an amazing pedal but $400 is an absurd price! Why do your pedals have to be so damn expensive?
