Josh just having a good time playing around and not taking anything seriously is the absolute best. These are so fun to watch. Thanks for another year of great videos and even better pedals.

[@brainsplosion3000]

It is unfortunate when this show is anything but pedal history.

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Thanks Josh and team for releasing the Halo!! Your team had a ton of great releases this year, I love the Overdrive Preamp!

[@jhspedals]

Our pleasure!

[@benfowler2127]

Just want to thank you guys for being such great pedal ambassadors. So much informative content. I would never know about most of the stuff you guys demo otherwise. It’s nice to hear what these pedals sound like when I have nowhere to be able to try them

[@matbouche]

Addison is such a great bass player ! Love his tones on these amazing jams 😍

[@Matthew-qk1xi]

My guy on those drums, brother your drumming is very tasteful! Just got an Angry Charlie love it! The Supreme will be next. Merry Christmas to all at JHS and may the New Year be great.

[@mattymoyouknow202]

I almost spit out my water when Josh confused centavo with Ceviche. I also love when the jams take me back to 2005. Epic.

[@davidjdriver]

The Harmonic Trem and Octave Reverb from the 3 Series are just awesome. I get this strobing, lurching, about to fall over thing out of them. I never want to stop. I want it to sound like that in real life all the time.

[@atonofspiders]

I freaking love that

[@davemabee5798]

Just picked up the Harmonic Trem myself. Only trem I've ever gotten on with. Might just have to check out the reverb as well. Cheers!

[@danielhelderman5228]

My favorite pedal JHS released this year was the JHS #75, the story, the presentation, the shadowbox circut, everything was so good. I hope to see more of this type of thing.

[@br00talbr00skeez]

I am glad to have heard the words “Swedish death metal” on this show. This year I got a JHS pulpnpeelv4. It is my favorite comp. Also came across a vhs and lucky cat. They are some of my favorite devices and appreciate the work you put into them and into the music community.

[@STRATMAN1969]

I put a P-n-Pv4 on my Bass board .It's the best pedal I bought this year ,and I bought a lot . If I could only use one pedal on my Bass rig it would be that JHS pedal . In fact it could actually be my rig if I needed it to be🍊❣

[@djadequate]

Thank you for all the humor and info this year, you guys help keep playing guitar fun.

[@nickolasecker9596]

1. Boss RE-202- Best recreation of any tape echo unit I’ve heard. Incredibly faithful to the original, Radiohead in a box. 2. UA Starlight- Best emulation of the Echoplex that I’ve heard, beyond the shadow of a doubt the best emulation of the original deluxe memory man, and an excellent digital delay based on the 2290 rack units. The bonus copper tube mode is excellent as well. 3. Paul Cochrane Tim V3- Favorite drive/boost of the year. Update to an already classic pedal. Sounds great through any amp or guitar I try. 4. EAE Dude Incredible V2- EAE make the best dirt pedals in the industry and the dude incredible v2 is no exception. Combines the Harmonic Percolater and the IVP Tube Voice rack unit to capture the legendary sound of Steve Albini who had produced countless classic albums including Pixies “Surfer Rosa”, Nirvana’s “In Utero” and PJ Harvey’s “Dry” just to name a few. 5. Catalinbread SFX- The best take on the legendary Soft Focus algorithm used by bands such as Lush, Slowdive, Cocteau Twins and even Radiohead just to name a few. Honorable mentions: Keeley Halo, Caroline Arigato, OBNE Screen Violence, MXR Duke of Tone, Walrus Lore, Walrus M1 4.

[@TBrown-kv5iz]

Thank you again JHS team. Wishing the whole team a Merry Crassmas and a Happy New Year.

[@High9ine]

I think I just fell in love with that blurry pedal, I want one!!

[@broughttofruition7377]

I swear i don't even play their type of music but the way they play gives me so many ideas for my genre of music. Legit!

[@karim_bouchouchi]

Octave Reverb at the end of my small pedal stack. Fuzz, Morning Glory, cheap tape delay and than the Octave Reverb! As an hobbyist I am in heaven now! ❤

[@UnitedStatesel]

My wife got me the three series octave reverb for my birthday a few weeks ago. I love it! Thanks JHS!

[@edwardcahill9629]

Summerschool Science Fair sounded great!

[@red1173]

I just ordered the summer school electronics science project…if you put HOLIDAY in the discount code you can get 10% off. I got the pedal for $160 and change out the door!

[@LukaS-hp8xk]

FYI - the Blurry pedal is available in the Public Possession store for those still looking. it's limited to 50 units.

[@Shasha_Mynx]

Thanks!

[@br8801]

Thank you very much...I just impulse-bought myself one 😁

[@monchavo]

tempting, isnt it…?

[@justdoug9363]

Great Euro xchg rate at 1.06 on the dollar too! (still can't afford it right now, just bought a poly blue...:))

[@KristofferGildenlow]

Sold out ☹️

[@diodesDankessAndDives]

Hearing josh say "no cap- on god" was absolutely hilarious 🤣 😆 👏👏👏👏

[@TheFeatalion]

And the best Klon clone goes to a clone of everything: the Ridge! Thank you JHS team, it is always fun to watch your show!

[@shonemanband]

Damn. Playing thru the studio speakers. These guys can jam! Much better than thru just the TV

[@dangerryan1422]

The Lore is probably my favorite new pedal for this year. Walrus killed it again.

[@ericwarrington6650]

For sure..I'm waiting on UPS with my platinum version Ages overdrive..my first walrus pedal

[@dreamsofcosmicoceans8105]

I got their Iron Horse V3 and it's my favorite pedal now.

[@TheRealcdawg22]

I have several of the Aetos power supplies. It's boring, but they are rock-solid and simple.

[@brandon_s]

I bought the Harmonic trem and Octave Reverb this year. I think they'll stay on my board forever.

[@edbutler3]

Glad to hear Addison talk about the pedals he's using on bass. He gets some great "grindy" tones, but we rarely get to hear any info on what he's using.

[@BRAG450]

Also can’t wait. I been really digging the vibe and chaotic energy of the last few streams lol

[@cnrsfilms]

I bought my first JHS pedal this year: a 3 Series Delay. It's good stuff, and I'm eager to see what's coming next year. Keep it up!

[@patrickkeenan6331]

Bought a 3 series Chorus this year; my first JHS pedal. Knobs halfway up and leave it on for the entire set. I want a 3 series Klone!

[@TheMachinesWon]

Everyone's face as Josh tries to figure out the Habit is hilarious haha

[@goldentherobots2268]

thanks guys its strange how much i enjoy these videos..

[@strat0871]

Love that "Blurry" !

[@PedalPawn]

We do indeed poop out Fuzz 💩 Awesome show as always guys ❤️

[@JV-rx3ov]

Happy Holidays to all!! Even if you don't celebrate the holidays, the sales make great excuses to BUY MOAR PEDALZ!

[@TOBORtheMighty]

I think Paul said the Horse Meat circuit wasn't a Klon clone, but that the name was a shot at Klons because it "eats them for breakfast"? Josh almost certainly knows more about the circuit than I do tho.

[@frankenstein4106]

My favorite pedal I picked up this year is the JHS Germanium Boost. I run it around the 1 o'clock position with the switch in the up position into my Z Wreck Jr. , then into a 2x12 loaded with Greenbacks. It sounds great alone, and through an ODR-1 or any of my other drive pedals it kills! Also picked up a Greer Lightspeed, and it sounds fantastic also.

[@123freedland]

I have to be honest I just discovered you and your pedals! (I know where the hell have I been) YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! I love how passionate you are about this. You can tell you're truly doing what you love! Keep up the amazing work honestly I would come work for you so if your hiring. Anyway just wanted to say I'm a huge fan and showing everyone I know who jams your content. Just thank you is all.

[@jhspedals]

Welcome!! We're glad you're enjoying it!

[@ullr1159]

Sweet hang gents. Y'all have a great 'Space Ghost Coast to Coast' vibe going. Bravo on the Octave Verb. Awesome.

[@caberwilson]

I buy and flip so many used pedals that I forgot Science Fair came out this year! This is my favorite pedal on my board, and the fact that the two circuits run parallel with a blend knob is so freaking cool! It's a one stop shop for a sick lead tone.

[@nickp440]

so how many treble boosters did you scalp?

[@caberwilson]

@@nickp440 I buy used pedals, I don’t scalp.

[@coltensettle9073]

I bought a Unicorn V2 in May and it hasn’t left my board. I played it at every gig. I recorded a bunch with it too. Thanks for all that you do. Y’all are an inspiration.

[@michaelpichette4143]

I got the same last year for Christmas. It’s sooo good!

[@severebash9153]

It does the Unknown Mortal Orchestra thing OR the Steve Lacy/Her’s thing so, so well. Univibe is INCREDIBLE as a modern effect, it doesn’t have to be a Hendrix thing.

[@brainsplosion3000]

These episodes never look at anything that we have not already seen everywhere. SHOW US THE WEIRD STUFF THAT WE DO NOT HAVE READY ACCESS TO! Please. Happy New Year🎉

[@ralvknights]

Merry Christmas to the whole JHS Superhero Team. Hope next year brings new fuzzes from JHS and more incredible JHS Show episodes. Keeep rocking.

[@MilesTippett]

I let my guitarist borrow my ColourBox V1 and he became so obsessed with it, he just bought a V2 yesterday!!!

[@danmccray2314]

I look forward to this every week

[@fabriciocunha8436]

Holy dang the first song u guys did was AMAZING

[@justinsantora9200]

Stoked to see the Habit right out of the gate! I got one recently and it’s been a total blast so far

[@utilitybeltfx]

32:36 = My all time favorite Josh moment.

[@davidsparks6146]

I bought the series 3 Delay - very sweet and malleable! Very different from my BOSS DD .... love it.

[@eguitarplayer6689]

Thanks for showing the Chase Bliss "Habit" (I was curious about it).

[@bnz70]

I'm a bassist and an even worse guitarist who bought your 3 series compressor, fuzz and octave reverb this year. I almost bought one of your tremolos until I remembered I have a Modcan modular and could patch one up. I was inspired by your modular video however. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@towatchvids]

The tone with that Walrus Lore and the JHS stack was so freaking good. Sheeeesh

[@cdbrown30]

I couldn’t help but preorder the Science Fair

[@toploadtele]

The pedal of the year for me is the Keeley HALO... its pretty awesome!

[@STRATMAN1969]

I got a Hydra to replace a pipe line trem on a board that I wanted to add reverb to ... it's pretty awesome!

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Thank You Top Load Tele!

[@BillyMoonMan]

Next stinger is “Play that pedal Bro!” When Josh is rambling.

[@BillyMoonMan]

@32:52

[@charlesrense5199]

I bought TWO of your pedals this year! The series 3 octave reverb, and the PG-14. The PG-14 replaced my OCD as a gentler, growlier drive for my blues noodling. The octave verb has become a welcome addition to my freaking-out-post-punk-style layers-of-effected-loops mode.

[@charlesrense5199]

I have a Saturnworks momentary loop pedal, and I've been meaning to try the Octave Verb in there, but I like the basic non-octave reverb of it too much to leaving it out of the main chain.

[@skatertrev7]

I bought a PG-14 this year as well. My first JHS pedal. It's the real deal. Very impressed

[@stephenbeyer]

That Blurry pedal is pretty darn cool. I hope more people who wants to gets the chance to try one out. Apparently we need more Overdrives/distortions with Expression Outs! ⚡️

[@admarhermans1]

Great bass sound in the ‘intro music’!

[@KristofferGildenlow]

(Pre)Ordered the Reel Deluxe righ away. So cool! The Blurry was sadly sold out already. Hope they make more… or maybe JHS can make a version *hint-hint*

[@sanozfamily]

Did someone say Dad Bands?! Dadrock for life!

[@sagittated]

Lore, Zzombie, and Habit are incredible new ones.

[@starsbyhum]

10:37 sounds like Built To Spill and I love it

[@duranjerome]

The Aguilar tone hammer is absolutely killer. I had no idea they did a Tone Hammer distortion pedal

[@brianrollins7275]

Just added the 3 series compressor and delay to my growing collection of pedals. Fine utilitarian pedals that easily get the job done and sound great. 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@colinmacdonald3931]

I got the Harmonic Trem. I have it always on the down switch setting both knobs at 10-11 Oclock. Gives a little life to everything.

[@jeffmansfield914]

10:00 This jam definitely gives me that U2 Boy album feel.

[@dots.sounds]

Solid list! Theres a few I'd really love to check out. And it's so cool how different that choices are from mine. Shows how amazing this year was for new gear.

[@dannobilly]

Thank you for all you do with your KZbin show. I ordered a JHS Milkman Slapback from Sweetwater this morning 🎸

[@williamwright3629]

Josh, you have lots of original Mig 50 amps! I rarely find them that aren't abused. congrats!

[@TrashHeapCustodian]

This year I got a JHS hall reverb, Packrat, and little black amp box, each of them a great addition to my little pedal team that I noodle poorly through. They don't mind though, they just make some cool sounds and make me smile and I think that's all we need out of our gear :)

[@TrashHeapCustodian]

Might but a meadowsweet just for the price tbh 😉

[@thomaschapple4749]

Great bass riff and sound on first song

[@matzer8846]

Thanks for all the fun Merry Xmas and a happy 2023 💥

[@blueleaftuber]

The Science Fair is called a combination of the Lab Rat + Test Tube (screamer). So cool. They're sold out until February they say

[@latergarside-244]

I love these long form sodes. Please so a bunch this year

[@gretchman]

Started experimenting with a stereo, two amp setup this year. Octave reverb, DL-4, split out to a JHS Nano Muff and Behringer Super Fuzz going into a DRRI/Marshall 4x12 and a Fender (BassAmpThing)/8x10. Most of the time I'm playing a Bass VI into that... but really anything at all sounds so huge and beefy and all-encompassing that I just like to stand between them and give myself a fuzzy lil soundbath.

[@em-dashman4404]

Cool beans. Happy holidays everyone!

[@david_davinci]

You know...The Captain and Danish Pete may be the best, but they got nothin over the JHS Show!! Happy Merry Everything

[@johnmossey]

No love for OBNE Float? That one takes the cake in my book

[@FX69]

Merry Christmas to everyone ✌

[@aynakotalaga]

My favourite pedal of the year is the JHS Octave Reverb. I loose hours with this pedal when stacked with Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Delay, Terra Echo Andy Space Echo! I’d love to see a Stereo version of this released.

[@emmanuelhug7432]

Since 2 weeks I'm a proud owner of a Morning Glory v4 with the Red Remote Switch, got it for christmas \m/ definitely lifted my pedalboard to the next level, it's a great combo with my beloved EQD Speaker Cranker v1. So many usefull sounds :-D

[@samuelhatman8995]

SCIENCE FAIR !!! "It's in the Pedal" "A little too hip for The Barbeque Restaurant." Guys, this is a top five moment and jam for 2022. Jus' sayin'. Yes, I gotta go get Science Fair and I will trade pedals to do it! All of you fell in love i n s t a n t l y ! I am so proud. Hook Line and Sinker, Sammy

[@MrClixFlix]

You guys should do a JHS Pedal that has the top 3 effects you put out this year in one Pedal. Do it every year. Call it something like Now That's What I Call Pedals 2022. Currently a JHS 3 Series Compressor is what's on my board.

[@SpiritLife]

😆👆this!

[@MrClixFlix]

No charge for the idea by the way. Would be thanks enough if you used it.

[@JLeonSarmiento]

The jams in this episode were also some of the best of 2022.

[@mistergoat7357]

I picked up the jhs harmtrem and octave reverb. Still trying to find the perfect usage but sound great and I’m glad they are on my mess of a board. More jhs purchase in 23, moonshine, superbolt, unicorn are on my list. Much love

[@eric321ification]

This was one of my top 10 favorite episodes ever, and I have some honorable mentions.

[@ideitbawxproductions1880]

That first pedal gave me some serious Omar Rodriguez-Lopez vibes. Could totally hear that on an old Mars Volta record

[@VelcorHF]

BLURRY?! JOSHHHHHHHHH, IF THEY DONT MAKE THAT RESONANT PEDAL, PLEASE RELEASE ONE. That so sick dude. DAD pedal all the way.

[@wordofmouth7679]

Sad to not see the Meris LVX on here, not just one of the best pedals of the year, but one of the most important contributions to delay in easily the last 10 years. Josh, love your videos, keep up the jams, and the awareness of what’s out there for the guitar community.

[@big_hat_logan]

Can you explain what about it makes it the most important in 10 years? Yea guitar demos for it don’t really explore the whole pedal

[@npres91]

They mentioned it around 46 min

[@patrickkeenan6331]

The Blurry is $240.68 (200 Pounds converted to Dollars)

[@srwaite7]

Added a JHS Whitey Tighty to the pedal board this year. Love it! ❤ Keep up the great work in 2023! 👌🏻🎸🖖🏻

[@jed10800]

I love this format for this kind of content! That’s so awesome!😊

[@matthewdancik5515]

So much love to you all!!!!

[@antm9382]

Well that’s an instant buy for the Reel Dealuxe for me

[@chrisjohnstone6164]

Thank you team JHS .. legends 💛

[@Kyuslydian]

Love you guys. Merry Christmas. I've got my eye on a few of your pedals from the 2023 budget.

[@Negative.mrb1]

The Boss ME50 has a built in wah pedal and a resonance switch you can get similar tones as that Blurry pedal

[@tmunney21]

The jam at 9:50 was a vibe

[@DoobTube71]

Thanks JHS! I was blessed enough to time the live release of the new limited edish JHS Boost pedal. Wish I would have been able to get one of the germanium treble booster pedals,...but 700+ pedals selling out in about 7 minutes was impossible to predict. Merry Christmas all and thanks for all you do for JHS fanboys and fangirls! Can we expect a JHS 3-series ENVELOPE FILTER for 2023 ?!? My personal favorite guitar effect pedal I bought in 2022 was the Chase Bliss Automatone PreAmp Mark II (a programmable Benson Pre-Amp)! Honorable mention bought in 2022: the Boss SL-2 Slicer!

[@justdoug9363]

Hearing "envelope filter" triggers my ptsd. Had a shot at Jerry Garcia's Mutron pedal, complete with grease pencil markings on it, straight from Dan Healy, 10+ years ago and didn't... but happy with my QTron+ all the same!" Clavichord baby, quack like a Jeff Beck duck, funk like Stevie Wonder Superstition slappalicious...

[@johnnym1604]

You guys rule, even if you lead us all on the merry road to crippling pedal addiction!

[@Mujcanal]

Josh, you playing is so inspiring, thanks !

[@laurenceconstable7618]

I think there's an Artificial Blonde waiting for me under the Christmas tree. Can't wait!
