Josh mentions 26 pedals in this video, and only two of them were JHS products. This is one of the many reasons that people love you, Josh.

So funny what you said about the DS1 distortion, I was an apprentice at the time and my journeyman told me to go and get some tools from the van, on the way to get the tools the owner of the fish factory i was doing the job at shouted over to me. He asked if I could take a few boxes of fish out to the loading bay for him and he said I can have anything I wanted from the old store room...various cardboard boxes full of old crap pretty much....so I sift through some old Christmas decorations and some old newspapers and plates ect and I come across a guitar pedal and it was the DS1 in pristine condition. I pull it out and go to ask the owner if could have it...he tells me it was his sons' who passed away recently and he said to me, you remind me alot of my son and I think it was meant for you. It was my first guitar pedal and I'll never get rid of it....

My Record Time minimal rig answer : People think of John Frusciante as the guy with the gigantic pedalboard from which he draws complex sonic textures. But back in '91, his rig for the landmark album Blood Sugar Sex Magik was minimal. Basically it consisted of a wah pedal, a chorus and a distortion. (WH10, DOD FX65-not his usual Boss CE-1- and a DS-2.) These are still part of his core sound, even on the new 2022 singles. There you go! Minimal rig = Legendary sound. Thx Josh!

I was lucky enough to grow up in a home saturated w Beatles. I never understood why people would hate them, dislike them or even just be ambivalent about them. They are at the root of almost everything that has come after. It almost doesn't matter what you put to the test, eventually going back through its evolution, you will find that the seed came from them. For the longest time I thought that there was a section of society that was musically deformed, underdeveloped, or maybe just so pretentious that they would put their own ego in a position to try and eclipse this musical gift that we had received. That was the only way I could explain "Beatles hate." Anyone that grew up w the Beatles knows exactly what I'm talking about. But then recently I figured it out: its not that man is naturally malicious or so self destructive that it would purposely denigrate the musical harbingers of love; no, its that some of us are "delayed." Some of us just haven't been exposed to enough of their music to see that hating the Beatles is like kicking yourself in the "music balls." Your comment about 'Tomorrow Never Knows" is a perfect example... If you like that song, I humbly suggest you look into it's history, and how it was based on a mixture of John Lennon's study of the "Egyptian Book of the Dead" and the beginnings of his explorations into LSD. If you choose any of the 3 subjects mentioned: Lennon, EBotD, or LSD, and begin an honest and brave research project, you will have firmly set foot on the path to the greater truth of the universe and greater existence at large... That's the beauty and true existential import of the Beatles, they are a smaller fractal manifestation of the greater beauty and love that our universe and all of creation is, and possibly even a microcosmic model of creation itself! Anyway, welcome to the the more beautiful and pure understanding of love, music, and reality in general! It makes me happy to see you here! and let me be the first to congratulate you and wish you well on the most beautiful and amazing journey, to which you have found the door. If you decide to walk through, I feel that you probably cancel out the karma of some frightened authoritarian deceiver somewhere that has just manipulated some poor soul into believing that its "not cool" to like the Beatles, and thus set them back musically and spiritually by an unknown but seemingly catastrophic degree. I hope that you continue on your path and possibly show the way to someone else; thats the only way we are gonna get out of this world "alive." I apologize for the lengthy response, and assure you that I'm not some sort of "Masonesque" zealot. I just know that the road to our salvation and a more utopian society is going to come from everyday people, like us, making conscious decisions to set down our divisions and embrace the beauty of music, art, and all other creative acts. Best wishes and regards to you my friend. -C

The BD-2 is underrated in my opinion. I’ve played everything from blues to deathcore with it. By far one of the most versatile pedals I’ve ever played

Agreed! I stack mine before an EQD Plumes (tubescreamerish) for my lead tones and use the BD-2 for all the edgy stuff in between. Love it!

@@enjoybrad81 I like putting my plumes before it. Turns into a really transparent distortion level overdrive. Plumes with the clean boost in front of overdrives just gives it an incredible nasty bite that is different than a lot of standard boost pedals. I’m gonna try the bd2 before the plumes though. Do you use the TS mode or the more compressed and dirtier mode?

I LOVE the Revolver album, great choice. I've only just discovered your channel, and I'm a TOTAL convert. I also love it that you don't just 'widdle' pointlessly in your demos 😊😊😊😊

I love the fact that he builds these himself and still just tells you to pick the colour you like, because that sounds better. Legend.

a record without flashy production or fx but just damn good writing and performing is Grace by Jeff Buckley

Majic Freeman very well said man!

OD, Distortion, Fuzz, Reverb, Delay, Tremolo, Chorus, Phaser, Univibe, Flanger. Bonus: Tuner, Wah, Octaver. I needed a checklist for my wannabe ultimate pedalboard haha Saludos desde Chile🇨🇱

Revolver is a great album. I agree with you, it's nice to listen to music before things got so complicated. I'm a bit of a purist and love earlier recordings from guys like Chuck Berry, early Eric Clapton (Bluesbreakers), Mick Taylor... those guys played straight into the amp and nothing was lacking. My rig preference is a small Fender tube amp with a Blues Driver, Boss GE-7, Joyo Atmosphere reverb pedal and a tuner pedal

Amazingly inspiring and insightful video Josh! 🤘🏻

Came for advice on downsizing my board, left feeling like I probably can keep it the way it is. Killer jam at the end!

The Cars debut album is great. Minimal and iconic and so uniquely Cars.

That song at the end is beautiful!! Thank you so much!

Thanks to you, I am encouraged to try this year with varied and cheap pedals, I have a year to save and check which are my essentials, thanks man

Important pedal to any rig is the EQ pedal. I don't know how I ever lived without it!!

"Take my breath away" on the Miku? I love you, man.

Tom Russell’s Aztec Jazz. 2 dudes with acoustic guitars, and the Norwegian Wind ensemble. Recorded live. Thad Beckman absolutely kills it on the guitar and the songs are amazing. One of those albums I didn’t really like the first time I heard it, then realized I couldn’t live without. I bought my copy from Tom Russell himself after a show. Super cool guy, and one of my favorite song writers.

this might be the best youtube video I've ever seen. great info, demos, editing, song. this should be in a textbook for "how-to-youtube"

Favorite minimalist album: Elliot Smith's Either/Or.

Coincidentally, JHS featured "Figure 8" in another one of his videos.

10:42 mark is without a doubt the best part, all guitarist need to pay attention.

So happy I impulse bought the Marine Layer Reverb. Sounds airy and lush. And the dry killswitch is a blast, too.

you're actually really good at guitar. it is pleasant to hear your song jams. thanks for ton of great gear info all the time

10:52 That Miku stomp really ... took my breath away 😎

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I didn’t want that track to end! Once again Josh you demonstrate the power of a good pedal or two to transform sound without needless over the top shredding. Fanflippin’tastic.

My favorite pedal amp is the Rivera design Princeton Reverb 2. I acquired two of these when I worked at Fender in the late '80s. Extremely versatile with it's mid and treble boost, the master volume is a plus also.

This is the second of your videos I have watched. I love your straight forward approach. As far as Revolver goes, it was a deal maker for me. The Beatles grew up and were no longer going to be the world's first boy band.

ive watched a lot of the jhs vlogs now. josh is a really great guitar player. very natuaral and always in tempo,he uses some interesting licks to!

Bob Dylan's debut album...just a boy with his guitar and harmonica. Captivating all the way through.

Tom Petty - Wildflowers is a great minimaliste album to me!
