I’ve been waiting for someone to finally make an overdrive pedal

[@RiffMusic1970]

😂

[@dabanjo]

I wish someone would make one that didn't distort when you turn the gain up. Kinda annoying.

What a crazy world where, in mere months, the selling word shifted from "Tubescreamer" to "Bad Monkey"

[@thetribalist6923]

Let’s not downplay the influence Brian Wampler has, either. He’s a genius, great guitarist and all around good guy. Big fan of both companies and their respective channels.

[@nunocarmona]

@@thetribalist6923 couldn’t agree more!

[@joshikus]

Tubescreamer has 3 knobs. This has 5. Obviously 5 is more better than 3. EDIT: Plus a switch. More knobs, more switches = more tone.

[@thetribalist6923]

@@nunocarmona sorry my comment was originally intended for a different post that was giving Josh all the credit lol Somehow the post I was commenting on got switched to yours, either because my eyes suck or KZbin was being weird again.

Josh and Brian: Time for a Mod book in collaboration👏👏👏

[@darwinsaye]

I do appreciate people finally putting full EQs on dirt pedals nowadays. I wasted too much of my younger years trying to get good sounds from tone knob overdrives.

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

You'd be surprised what you can do with a really good tone control or a tilt EQ in it's place.

[@darwinsaye]

@@dannyllerenatv8635 I’ve had experience with them all. No tone knob can fix the truncated bass in a tube screamer type pedal. Tilt controls are slightly better, but I don’t like that if you want to boost one frequency, the other gets cut. Nothing beats a full set of EQ controls.

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

@@darwinsaye It can be very hit or miss. Usually, a 3 band EQ is ideal and a TS can also sound and behave better if boosted by another pedal such as a BB which has more low end to it.

[@shawnmcvey7789]

​@@darwinsayeThe Palisades solved that problem for me. Settings 4 and 5 on bandwith paired with setting 1 on clipping finally got me the TS sound I loved. It's a great pedal, but it's large and it's best used when you actually use all 3 switches.

[@darwinsaye]

@@shawnmcvey7789 The first overdrive that didn’t frustrate me was my Way Huge Green Rhino. TS circuit, but with the addition of an active bass boost/cut and an upper mids control. Made all the difference in the world.

[@juanjan__]

JHS + Wampler = heaven. The best two channels for understanding everything regarding guitar. JHS + Wampler + Boss topology = mind blown. And for $99!

[@waytospergtherebro]

Do you write all of your sentences in the form of kindergarten equations because you think it's an iconic vibe?

[@El...Presidente]

Wampler needs to team up with DanielDanger to improve them graphics, other than that great pedals.

Also love that their videos aren’t just plugs for their own . And if so Scott acknowledges it ! Haha !

[@PaulMatthewMusic1]

I think it would be cool if JHS and Wampler collaborated on a dual drive pedal like the Boss collab.

[@BlueBarrier782]

Fuzz and drive would be a great dual pedal.

[@marccunningham6353]

Call it a J-Wamp??

[@greyklopstock7155]

Would be cool to see a combo of like, the morning glory with a tumnus deluxe. Something really useable combining probably their two most popular drives

[@SmokinFoolz]

This is what I want too

[@cradlecap123]

Josh is............really good on guitar.

[@guitardave]

The Triumph Punch mode is based on the Boss SD-1, and as mentioned in the video, that Mids control makes it super versatile. A really great pedal, and well worth the asking price.

[@chuckbluz]

I agree, great sounding pedals. I love the clean and clear artwork - no goofy names for controls, no guesswork. The sound is pretty awesome as well, and that Mid control is key.Thanks for doing this , Josh.

[@sassulusmagnus]

It's better than bad. It's good. The Good Monkey.

[@mdmusic2130]

Excellent video Josh and great performance! The key with The Wampler pedals are in the powerful 3 band EQ section. You really need to use your ears because Brian adds so much range in the bass, mids and treble that you can get killer tones but also some bad ones. A great example of that is the Wampler Pinnacle Deluxe V2. It’s a fantastic genius versatile distortion tool with a powerful 3 band EQ section that requires you to use your ears. You put all the knobs at noon and you don’t get the best sound possible right away. You have to work and dial it and i love that pedal so much! The triumph is just phenomenal! My two cents: The Triumph has an internal trim pot that you can use to add a more glassy sound to your guitar tone, being really helpful for neck humbucker guitars position. Killer pedal! 🤟🏻🎸🔥

[@jeffmansfield914]

I got the Triumph a little over a week ago, and I’m loving it. So much tone shaping in that EQ section, or it can be pretty transparent if you like.

[@shawnvitt]

Thank you - once again - Josh Scott! Brian Wampler is a mensch. Every one of his pedals is gold. His Black ‘65 into a black panel Fender Princeton is perfect. The Mini Ego compressor is an MVP utility player. Hoping to be able to demo soon the Phenom and the Triumph 🤘🏻

[@johnmcelhaney8490]

Josh. Really dug the intro here man! love agogo As the video progresses your playing is really great today. Someone woke up on the right side of the guitar bed today! great pedals, great video.

[@scottsoucy6186]

Awesome playing, Josh! Very funky!

[@ThinkTankxx]

I already bought mine. The Phenom is awesome. A real face melter. Love it!

[@Earthstein]

I like my face the way it is. So I'm ordering the Triumph.

[@treetopjones737]

A British co. should make one called "Cheeky Monkey."

[@darrelldourte9455]

Craig Ferguson endorsed?

[@kevinkingrey4506]

Thanks for bringing some attention to A-GoGo. Sort of a widely forgotten record from the 90's, mostly remembered by beatniks. One of the best Beach vacation listens ever. At the time this record was pretty popular I had a weekly bar gig at an Italian restaurant on Oregon highway 35, which I drove to in a jeep, usually with "Jeep on 35" cranked.

[@michaelfessenden8601]

Keeley, JHS, Wampler, and LPD are my favorite dirt pedals ❤ TC electronics

Tell the folks at guitar center i say what up ❤

[@teacuppermike2568]

Loved the nod to Scofield. I saw him perform with Jack Dejohnnette. Beautiful.

[@juanjan__]

the A Go Go album is amazing, especially because he's made it with Medeski, Martin & Wood who are probably my favourite jazz band of all time. Yes, that's my hot take haha

Josh is a pretty good guy, Using his not so inconsiderable influence, to shine light where it is best needed...Hat's off sir😎👍 😎✌👍❤🖖

[@BipityBopity93]

Just picked up the triumph. You really can get three type of pedals out of it. Crank the mids for a screamer type, back the mids off for a blues breaker type, and then you have the toggle switch which is a whole other thing. It’s great. It also stacks well with other drives.

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

Josh, that was some nice Van Halen-ish playing on the Phenom. You got some shred in you 🙂🎸🤘🏼 And I suppose the bottom line in all this is that there are a lot of good overdrive and distortion pedals at different price points. Right now I’m using the Blues Driver into the Morning Glory into the Duke of Tone into a Tumnus. Works great for what I need at this point in my guitar playing life.

[@notvanymore]

It's so nice of JHS to feature this little, unknown, very niche Wompler brand. Nice pedal, too; I'm sure they'll go places and perhaps, maybe, one day reach JHS heights.

[@devilsguitaristmusic]

Walrus just came out with a series of $99 pedals, I would put then in a similar group as Wampler and JHS.

[@robyates136]

Triumph + REVV G3 on my pedal board give me absolutely everything I ever need in overdrive and distortion sounds.

[@stephanematis]

I was doing the Muppets Muh Na Mah Na (Doo Do Di Doo Do) "Phenomena" whenever Josh said something like Phenom. I'm not weird, your weird.

[@Pepino2017]

Good afternoon Josh - I don’t know if it’s that you’ve been practicing more, or that the change of scenery (to the individual/basement shows) has inspired creativity, but your guitar playing has been on fire lately. I’d love to see a video from you focusing on your guitar playing: tunings, approach, practice routine, etc. You’ve done it for the pedal build, histories of guitar and blues music…a playing tutorial would complete the Josh guitar-god set!

[@johnharris1846]

cool pedals and great playing Josh!

[@KennyVengeance]

yep I picked up the Wampler Triumph and Phenom. they’re both fantastic! 😎

[@playpedals8437]

Just 3 days ago I posted short/TikTok on a topic that Triumph is better Bad Monkey :) I bought both pedals in last 2 weeks, first Triumph and immediately after that Phenom and they are just fantastic, love both. And yeah I also want fuzz in this line, I'm buying immediately :) Thanks for the episode.

[@gtmuse329A]

Been loving various Wampler drives into my modelers. My main gigging board, which has to cover everything from straight ahead jazz (with the archtop) to mid gain rock (with a 335 or Strat) is just the a Wampler EQ into the Triumph into the UA Dream, all the tones I need! 🎸🎶

[@emreemre369]

Lovely... sounds like the best shit Brian produced and one can buy for that kind of money... Josh, I am sure people appreciate how you serve the whole community and we love your products as well... and I enjoy your playing too!

[@slapitman]

Leo Fender left MusicMan but stayed with CLF to produce instruments for G&L in 1979. The truth though is that up to at least 1982 his instruments were still being used and supported by Grover Jacksons team.

[@ithemba]

pedals like this really only can shine in a age like today, where we have hugely influencial and knowlegable guys on youtube explaining and demonstrating it to us. I am pretty convinced back before guitar youtube was a thing, pedals that could do a lot were doomed to wrong application and or expectations so that what stick out and got very popular were kinda one-trick-ponies that delievered everytime and people did not have to spent time to get to know it, ie tubescreamer boost. pedals like the BOSS HM-2 or even Metal Zone kinda fall into this territory: they can do a hell of a lot with hugely powerful EQs but because of that are easy to mess up and or just sound very different from what you actually want from them (with the HM2 being a special case because of its meme status after being picked up by the swedish death metal scenne). a OD like this, that can do so so many things, probably would also fal into that category because it hasn't got the ONE trick that makes people grab for it. the tc electronic dark matter comes to mind: does everything preeetty well, did not sell with its original price tag and was slashed to half the price, still around today but never really gained recognition for anything specifically. We kinda get the same thing with some of these chinese clone pedals when people are not aware of the circut thats being cloned yet and shit on the pedal because it doesn't sound like what they expected - the joyo "extreme distortion" - being a OCD clone for an example.

[@danilolimas]

[@whiskerbiscuit6674]

Now JHS has to find a super cheap two knob overdrive and and talk about how it's so great because it has minimal controls and just lets you rock, so the price will skyrocket and then Wampler can make a two knob clone and sell it cheaper than the old model that skyrocketed.

Well, damn. I was all set to buy the Pinnacle Deluxe 2 and now i'm confused. I only recently fell in 'love' with the Wampler Pantheon into my '68 Deluxe Reverb, and i was hoping that was a clue that Brian knows how to get authentic Brown Sound from that amp. Does anyone have any insight for me? Which would be better, the Pinnacle or the Phenom, for Van Halen 1 through Fair Warning, and nothing else? I don't need versatility or any other tones, just the best Van Halen thing into that one amp.
