This pedal board is NOT inexpensive. $$ 500 +/- is NOT cheap. Their are tons iof FANTASTIC CHINESE....mini pedals Around......$$ 50 +/- ......Not $ 100 per. Powe supplies aound $ 30+/- bucks. Two distortions ? Not cheap. Reverb ? Always in the effects loop. One good analog delay with modulation. One distortion. One compression. One of either Tremelo Flanger Auto wah Chorus (stereo) To split to TWO small amps. For REAL STEREO ROOM EFFECTS. An EQ and a Volume pedal Before everything... Two small boards can cover 90% of sll of this really cheap And insanely good sounding. Much less than $$ 500 bucks Or more for the same thing.

I'd suggest you include Cioks power units in a full on review. They have considerable mA power and flexible Voltage switches.

@pCeLobster

3 ай бұрын

Power supply should be looked at as nothing more than having enough mA to power the pedals. A 1Spot supplies 1700 mA. A tube screamer draws 8mA. So a simple 1Spot daisy chain can power 212 tube screamers. Most analog effects, and even simple digital ones like a DD-3T for example, have low enough mA draw that, if that's all you have on your board, you do no need a dedicated power supply like a Zuma or a Cioks. You just don't, and the notion that you need a unit like that for a board consisting of a few overdrives, a fuzz, a chorus and a delay is a triumph of marketing over reality. And power supplies will rarely help with noise issues so don't go into it expecting that either. Where you need a serious power supply is when you have several high draw digital pedals like Strymons on the board. Those types of pedals draw hundreds of mA and you end up maxing out a 1Spot quickly when you get into that stuff. People are led to believe that high quality dedicated power supplies are an essential part of any board and it simply isn't the case. I agree with Josh on future proofing. That's never a bad thing, but again it's just a matter of making sure you have enough power long term.

@zachary963

I would agree with this. I’ve been using wall wart supplies with daisy chains because those are the only ones I understand…

@OzziePete1

3 ай бұрын

@@pCeLobster The issue that Josh spoke about with 1Spots is that the daisy chain introduces noise that may be prevalent in one power connection, to the others. Yes, a Cioks may be OTT for many beginner pedal boards, BUT, as Josh alluded to, it can be used again on other pedal boards when you upgrade. A clean isolated power supply is the foundation of a happy, noise free, pedal board. VoodooLabs ISO 5 is good for this level of pedalboard too.

Since the day I started following the JHS channel, I've always appreciated Josh's candor about his vs other designers' pedals. It's as if he's letting you know that you already have the pedal(s) you need before you run out and buy his. No. No "as if." He does point out that you probably already have the OG pedal that we all need. And you did! All the while, he makes you rupture you spleen laughing at his comedy. The Universe loves you, Josh.

Pedal works when the plate flipped and it doesn’t work when I flipped back(stock). I don’t know I might did something wrong cuz I’m not a professional or maybe that tip is not for every boss pedals.

I recommend against doing this with some boss pedals as it puts unnecessary pressure on soldering points when the rubber presses hard against the circuit board.

@nowheretocollapsethelung

3 ай бұрын

@@HammedHam i think one needs to exercise caution when doing that. the majority of boss pedals have a lot of space between the cover and the circuit board. if you start tightening the screws and the rubber starts pressing against the board too much, just stop.

Josh also something people overlook, I personally use one, a Computer UPS, basically its a power buffer meant for computers that acts similar to a surge protector but also has batteries that also act like capacitors, the cool thing is, they clean up and filter power, which not only would clean the pedal sound up a bit from dirty electricity, but its also protects those valuable pedals from damage from surges and such. Once you try this you will never go back.

I bought a shelf from IKEA that was almost a ready made pedalboard. It has three slats with spaces in between to run your power cables through. Painted it black, put Velcro tape on it, and mounted two Voodoo Power plus 2 power supplies underneath. I reinforced it some with angle braces and put some rubber feet on the bottom. It’s not the sturdiest thing but for a bedroom set up it’s held up well.

Loved the "shameless plug" effects

Heads up on the power supply is when you get a brick (isolated brick) watch out for the milliamp draw. I have two pedals on my main board that exceed the 100 milliamp draw that the bricks do. So I have to use two small wall warts in addition to the 13 (8 spot brick and a 5 spot brick) for the board. So I still have 2 more (13 pedals, 11 pedals through the bricks) potential options. That said my main board is pretty full, so I might get two micro pedals however I have pretty much covers all the types of music I play. Also buy zip ties and anchors and use those under the board to manage the wires. Basically you gather the wires and zip ties and anchor all the wires so that they are REALLY out of the way.😉👍✨

Been bingeing loads of the lives waiting for a new episode. As I slowly pick up my first pedals it's exactly the vid I've been waiting for. Basic quick easy full tutorial. Love the work JHS crew🤘🏼

I really enjoy this JHS pedal channel. I appreciate the humor and positive approach. Entertaining and great information about “why” and what subtle differences there are. I always enjoy these videos.

Been using a Truetone 1Spot Pro CS7 for past three years now with great results. Great power supply.

So glad you’re all back 😊

For "bedroom players" a looper pedal is a lot of fun! Thanks for the tutorial, I didn't know about the lineup, now I do!

I’ve been researching this exact thing! I’m so glad you made this video. It was very helpful. The cable testing and management was great!

Hi, I am a beginner guitarist from Brazil, been playing guitar for almost 2 years by now, and I wanted to say that I enjoy this type of content. I have a $60 strat, no pedals or amps so I have to play with pc plugins (pirated) and I always have to use presets made by other people because I have no idea how to build a pedal chain, a pedalboard, how to achieve certain sound, anything like that I don't have an amp to test it out easily nor pedals, and they would be expensive as hell here (if you are american, imagine a boss katana 50 costing 4000 dollars, yeah, it's unacessible as hell) That's why I enjoy this type of content, I want to be able to build a good pedalboard on plugins and stuff, to know how a good tone it's made I play with this preset but I don't know how it's built, I know there's basically an amp, distortion, reverb and noise gate, but the tone is so powerful and good, I tried to recreate but I couldn't even get close to it

there are a ton of cheap 30$ pedals out there that are decent! Just buy a few of them, patch cables, daisy chains (yes i know they are not as good as a power supply but they will get the job done).

Azor pedals are some of the cheapest at 25$, but they are basic and only have two or three knobs, so not as many options to tweak the sound of the pedal, but they are good if you just need the basic sounds of a type of pedal (and they have metal casing!).

Nice! Planning a new board and have been eying the 3 series(clean design and awesome sound)! Love the channel!

I have been running a bd2 and ds1w recently and been loving it

I am in the process of putting together a board with my first store-bought pedal board ( Pedaltrain Classic 1 SC). A few days ago I decided to put the fuzzy velcro on the frame (not the pedals). Thank you for confirming my decision.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Looking forward to a video about power supplies.

Amazing timing. Ive been rediscovering my love for guitar after putting it on hiatus due to work and life. One thing i never explored was pedals, and i have been researching like mad the past few days. This video couldnt come at a better time! I even picked up one of my first pedals earlier today; the Bonsai!

Cool! I went acoustic and stopped playing electric guitars on the early ‘70’s, before pedals were popular. When I picked them up again about 10 years ago I had to start figuring pedals out from scratch. I wish this video had been available then!

Love this simple, to the point approach. I personally love how clean is your pedal board. I want it! :)

Thank you, Josh. Love your demeanor! 🌴

Great video + nice tip about the Boss pedal Velcro

Great video and timely as well since I'm about to build my first pedalboard.

Love your show! Always motivational and I learn so much. Love the 3 series by the way! The hall reverb is amazing and I think I will get the rat soon❤❤❤

I'm so glad you're back.

Welcome back guys! 😊 I've been trying pedals (including some of yours) and different setups on my pedalboard. At the moment i have 13 pedals (including tuner and looper switch) and they are all powered by daisy chain with a TrueTone OneSpot. I totally agree with Josh that isolated power supply is the best choice, but for my experience the quality of the pedal has an important role as well. Everytime I tried poor quality pedals I had some issues (background noise, buzzing, etc.). When I finally bought only pedals designed in USA or Europe (and maybe made somewhere else) every problem disappeared. And the daisychain is still there 😉

Small boards of all jhs 3 series look so amazing😍

That board is really satisfying to look at 😊

I love the order of the pedals that you chose.

As a designer, I love the minimalist look on those pedals, even though i might be hard to remember which is which on stage, if you have multiple like that. I would definitely want to build this pedal board if my finances arent in shambles. If I get a gig soon maybe! Loving those patch cables as well.

So happy for a new video

Good show, good topic. Thanks Josh.

The boss pedal base plate tip was worth doing this entire video! Thanks!

That was THE video i needed. Thank you very much

Great video! Glad to see some "basics" in 2024, was just planning on putting together a new board.

I built my first pedal board last year. It was basically a bunch of Behringer pedals on a cheap Ghost fire pedal board with a cheap Donner power supply and cables. I've had a blast with it, no issues. I've changed and added a few pedals since though!

Awesome. This might be one of the most important videos of yours that I've watched. I got my first electric guitar last year, I got a Boss Katana amp shortly afterwards so I could muck around with sounds before I splash out on actual pedals. So far, the only pedal I've bought is the TU-3. I've been binging your videos for months because I want to get it right and not spend thousands on pedals I won't use. This is very helpful. Thank you!

This is amazing! I have been watching videos from this channel for weeks as I carefully plan my first pedalboard for church.

This channel has really blessed me and taken the edge off worrying about what to spend money on and this video came a great time. Thanks Josh and the JHS crew! We love you!

Yes, for the Ernie Ball cables. I use them exclusively!!! I like how you minimize the use of Velcro on both the pedals and the board.

Josh - great video, and a subject that needs the attention sans BS! One thing I noticed is the power supply power cable could easily get kicked and broken by the fact it's sticking out. Recessing the power supply 1/2" - 3/4" would resolve and leave only the cable to be trod upon.

Don’t know why I watch these. I play acoustic exclusively and run straight into the board with a touch of reverb at the front of house. Yet, I just love these videos.
