I feel like you guys are the reason I've been more interested in learning about different circuits and pedals in general lately, and when this video came out I had to re-watch it a few times because I felt like an idiot for not understanding how you could "boost voltage" through the cable and how John Mayer's play style was somehow altered the battery in one of his pedal's... along with everything else about this pedal as a whole. I told myself that this would be the first JHS pedal that I would buy. Almost a week later, and I'm realizing just how much of an idiot I actually am and haven't had as good of a laugh in a while.

As a drummer I learned so much!

This accounts for the unique tone of 50s and 60s drums, not to mention the influence of the players who hit them before!

@@thegreatdestroyer6506 oh...okay. so, even if this video is a joke and this particular pedal is fake, I still like study videos. Ratpack is my favorite.

There was just something about hearing “vintage 70s battery” that really got me

Now we need to see a blindfold challenge on Andertons TV where Pete tries to guess the modes 😄 Well done guys! Nerd comedy.

Damn, I'm already thinking about a V3 while still waiting for the V1! That's JHS love we are feelin'. I always choose the heaviest batteries to use in my Boss Metal Zone, Distortion and several Overdrives that are also used with the foot. So glad to have found someone who speaks in my language. And this is so true that it could be clearly seen how the boys were feeling more energized while playing... and in the length of this video. Thank you very much, Josh! You are a life savior!

What a fantastic idea for a pedal! 👍 This is brilliant! My favorite mode was JHS mode.

The effort you guys put into this is amazing, I feel like a 9v connection like the volture would have made this "somewhat more believable". Keep up the good work this was a lot of fun

This is absolutely hilarious! Way to go JHS for the originality and delivery!

This is so cool and genius. Congrats to your team and you.

Had to watch it for a third time, just because I love analyzing the faces of everyone. And just realized the "Another one bites the dust" riff. Just so good! and even better on the 1st.

I don't like many videos but this is pure gold my friend. It's been a while sense I've seen art like this.

I hope it has a secret Baghdad Battery setting.

The fluency of his lunacy is remarkable! He could go on, and on, and on, and on... A true master

This is amazing!!! I'm ordering one for every Pedal I own! And they are very affordable. Can't wait to try them with all my Digital Pedals 😉

I cannot explain why I believe I need this now. You’ve broken me. First the Lizard Queen, now this.

Just you wait, it's gonna get way more insane very soon!

The best part is when Josh is able to imitate the Klon pedal when using the Bat-Sim and an overdrive.

Josh you have just achieved "ULTIMATE GEEKNESS'….. LOVE IT!! Can't wait to get my hands on this.

Saw clips of this on instagram and believed it for two days straight lol Well done!

Honestly, this pedal idea alone is amazing. I think this is the most innovative pedal to date.

Woah, that sounds really unique! I gotta say the radioshack sound the best cuz of the retro sounding mids. Big up, Josh! I'm buying this ASAP.

The best part about this is using the exact same clip for every demo. I love this channel

Nope. Look closer. They are different

This is April 1st commitment. Full disclosure, I was about two minutes in before I remembered what day this is. Excellent performance Josh!

I dig the little history lesson about batteries 😂.

The level of nerdiness here is heroic. Herculean, even. I am envious and in awe. I'll take two.

JHS mode is killer!! Amazing idea, amazing pedal, and amazing job all at JHS!

Man! You TOtally had me going,right up to the end. Cause this pedal Sounded like something an obsessive pedal nut like Josh would ACTually do! It wasn't til I mentioned it to my co-worker ( also a huge pedal fan) " ok..that Bat-Sim pedal was an April Fools thing,right?" Impressive how Josh kept a straight face all the way thru,even after all the demos sounded exactly the same. Well done,JHS !!

He is so absolutely right. I grew up in Mississippi. The Ace setting is what real tone is all about. Its so crazy when you realize it wasn't a feeling you had, but a sound that could be recreated. Im buying one of these for each of my pedals right now.

It does suck that there aren't multiple outputs , thus requiring one for each pedal. Maybe on the mkII. Worth it though

I hope you don't have 20 pedals LOL

The ultimate boutique pedal, no collection could be complete without it. Genius as always Josh!

It took me 10 minutes to realize the full potential of this product and click the link to buy it!! What an amazing achievement it is!! I still can't believe why no one has done this before!! Genius!!

The sheer plausability of Josh actually doing this if there was any difference to be found is what makes this one 👌.

I can’t tell you how timely this is. Those old Radio Shack batteries have been like unobtainium ever since Radio Shack went out of business. There’s even some guy selling them for like $600 on Reverb right now! $99 for a pedal that does all that and more is an absolute steal!

Josh, as fantastic as you are at building pedals, and curating pedal history, you should give all of that up to focus on April Fool pranks. Genius level of seriousness and preparation went into this. 😂😂😂
