Too bad the whole pedal/belt clip thing didn't catch on. Eventually, instead of using a pedal board, a guitarist could just wear their massive collection of pedals across their chest like an ammo belt.

Perfectly said!!! Josh's playing/songs are the perfect example of songwriting for the sake of making great songs, not the sake of being flashy, showing off, and making a name for himself as a guitarist.... It's the epitome of the art of minimalistic guitar playing that still fills the room with great sound, carries the song, captures the emotion and vibe of the tunes, and is complete and freakin awesome without any unnecessary notes/playing and is just freakin cool!!!

Unbelievable!!! I’ve been so sick of my Marshall class5’s boomy/muddy clean tone that I usually stack fuzzes in front of it. After watching this video I tuned up the broadcast to cut out the lows and boost the clean and it feels like I have a killer new amp. It’s probably the best tone I’ve had. It seems like half the pedals on my board are to cover up the mud but now I want to hear the fundamental tone. Fresh Blank Canvas. Damn, can’t thank you enough for this one.

For years I used an Xotic Ep booster as my preamp. Put it right after my tuner and never turned it off. Loved how it boosted mids slightly but over all made the amp way more touch sensitive and the tone sweeter. Awesome pedal.

none ever mentions that the Boss preamp was also used by Dave Murray from Iron Maiden in the 80's to boost his 50w jcm 800 Marshall heads (1987-2204 models). The mxr dist+ he was also using, was just added for solos. Basically he used the boss preamp and a mxr 10 band eq as always on pedals since they had no stiwtch.

Gonna be a lot of fun running it through different amps, and even through the effects loop of my other amps if I just wanna go straight to the power amp!

If it's not him it's someone else who they mentioned on That Pedal Show (which should be uploading an episode soon unless D&M got too drunk at NAMM and forgot to turn on the camera or call Simon...)

I am new to the whole guitar pedal world and i stumpled on your channel many many times. I really like your videos and your attitude! Very well produced, tasty and not too loud background music, not some overly cool dude... Just a down to earth man with a cool business and ideas. I really like that!! Keep up the good work!

Just picked up this pedal, so glad I did. It’s exactly what I needed. Like Josh said, it pushed my Fender Twin into overdrive, and gave my Orange Pedal Baby 100 a much needed character boost (the pedal baby is basically just a clean power amp designed to get the most out of your pedals, therefore it loves having the Clover at the beginning of the chain )

A preamplifier is a circuit that amplifies a low level signal (less than 1V) and transforms it into a line level signal (a few volts). That is useful or necessary in order to get enough gain (amplification) in the power stage. So it's a cascading process: from low to mid and then high level signal (power level). That's all a preamp is, so any device that does that can be called a preamp, wether it distorts and colors the sound or not, that doesn't has anything to do with the "preamp" denomination. Specifically for guitar pedals, that name could be used for any pedal that tries to imitate what a preamp does inside the actual guitar amp, but essentially, the first pedal in the chain that takes the guitar signal and amplifies to line level is doing the job of the preamplifier. Thanks for the video!

After reading about many guitarists in the 70's using the Echoplex tape echo unit not only for delay but as a preamp i was always curious... About 2 years ago i got an Echoplex preamp pedal and i use it, always on, in front of my Marshall JCM 2000... Its amazing what it does to the sound, subtle at first, unless you crank it, but then after using for a while and you turn it off, something just sounds 'wrong' - It colors the harmonic content of the amp in really nice way and its become a must have pedal for me...

Recovering the Satellites is one of my favorite records of all time! Also, Fork was a jam, man. Great content here, Josh.

Well he cares if you buy his pedals, he just doesn't care if "you" buy his pedals; he has encyclopedic knowledge of pedal history to their guts that create what you hear; he knows how to create something the right way--and that is why he goes by if you build it they will come. He said Boss was his favorite pedal company ever. A lot of people might turn their noses up at that--but Boss (or Roland) created effects with passion--before most people had effects or even little idea what devices should do. They created pedals to fulfill what the musician wanted, and what the propellerheads in the lab knew was a quality tool; kept going to cover all the corners in latest trends and built out a portfolio that gave every pedal maker who came after a template to work from.

A band I love that other people usually only know a few songs from is Tonic. Their whole catalog is awesome. And for a preamp pedal, the one in my rig is the Voodoo Labs Giggity. I have seen that the Edge used it, as well, but that's not why I got it. It does a great job of evening out sounds when changing guitars, and making my guitar sound clearer.

Josh, I purchased my first JHS today and it’s The Clover. I can’t wait to hook it up. Right now I have a Hughes & Kettner GM40 Deluxe, an H9, and a Boss OD-200. This should be great and I appreciate all of your videos and for making my search of tone easier and more fun. \m/

Hi Josh, my favourite song from this video is "Emo-Oceans". It sounds great and I love the chord progression. I don't have a preamp pedal yet but will be checking out the Clover.

Genesis did everything first! Used 666 in a song lyric(sorry Iron Maiden) Guitar tapping (sorry Eddie Van Halen) Classical guitar (Sorry Randy Rhoads, Yngwie, Richie Blackmore,etc) Must listen Genesis: Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

I got Nocturne's Atomic Brain a couple years back and it became my always on preamp pedal for my gretsch and tele. It just enhances and brightens the range of sound in a really lovely way.

Thanks for loving us! 😘 We love you too! Seriously.... also, I'm not sure if you can play a bad song so how can I chose? 🤔

And Recovering the Satellites is spot on - in my opinion it's better than their debut. Songwriting, production, tones, delivery. Perfection.

Yes! Recovering the satellites is one of my all-time favs. The electric guitar work between the two guitarists is amazing. If you think you know what this band sounds like because of the acoustic/folky first album, this is the electric/rocking album that will change that perception. BTW the clover sounds great!

You make amazing videos guys. This was a question I’ve had for awhile. “Stuck in my Locker” was dope. A story of mine is that I was a worship pastor for awhile doubling as a lead guitarist and I was using an MXR dyna comp as my pre-amp(I guess, I didn’t know what I was doing) but I used it to crank some extra juice out of my double barrel and really enjoyed the sound until the mxr started giving me this god awful buzz and I sold it. Thank you for all things JHS. ✌🏼❤️😘

There is an important use case you didnt mention: using a preamp pedal in combination with IR loader pedals for silent/Home recording. Would be great to see a video about it.

As for Recovering the Satellites, the title track is my favorite. I'd like to take a moment to call out the guy that produced/mixed that album. Especially the guitars. From a sonic standpoint, it's one of the best recorded albums I've ever listened to. Another one, coincidentally also a Satellite album, Satellite by POD is fantastic sounding, if you can get past the songs themselves, that is.

One of my favorite albums! Can listen to it all the way through...

Thanks man, I love you too, and it's not just because you said it first or because you make awesome guitar (and other musical) stuff. You earnestly seem good and that is rare.

I used to listen to Recovering the satellites all the way through all the time. Miller’s Angels was one of my favorite tunes.

I sometimes use an ART tube Pre Studio MP in my bass rig. I’ve used it for vocals and acoustic guitar as well, but have never used it in my electric setup. I might try that sometime.

I'm still not exactly sure why I need a preamp. Don't I accomplish the same thing when I put a pedal in my effects loop? Subscribed. This is fast becoming my favorite channel.

Love my Hudson Broadcast! I'm sure the clover is cool too.

The Broadcast sounds amazing from the vids I have seen. I think it is more comparable to JHS's colour box though.

More pedal reviews exactly like this!

The jam was immaculate. This was awesome to listen to.

CC is my favorite band. Doesn’t show in my music but my dad showed me them when I was young and could never figure out how they weren’t bigger. Unreal songwriting

Great video Josh! It’s cool that you’re also a vinyl collector (as am I ). The artist that baffles me why he never caught on is Marshall Crenshaw. He gets relegated to the list of one hit wonders but I have been a fan of his for several decades. He’s also a monster guitar player (check out Fantastic Planet Of Love from his Life’s Too Short album). Right now my favorite preamp pedal (at least the way I use it) is the Boss BC-2, which I put at the end of my chain immediately before the amp. Makes my Deluxe sound HUGE!

He had a hit? Love Marshall Crenshaw. Saw him do accoustic at Poor David's Pub

add some bass to your tracks! I love the ideas, just want to hear them in their full glory! :P

I have a 1970's Colorsound Overdriver (the one with just the Treble, Bass & Drive knobs), which the rhythm guitarist in a band I was in used to use - he fitted a clip to it to wear it on his belt, and used it like that for years!

I have the BOSS FET and I love it with my acoustics, but the pre-amps I fell in love with (and were able to acquire) were the rack mount B K Butler Real Tube, Blue Tube, Tube driver series. I love the way they sound with my Bass-man and twin reverb amps and they have what those amps don't which is a send and return.

Favorite song in the jam?!?!?! YOU’RE MAKING ME PICK?!?!?!?! That Revelator is a Jazzmaster smasher! The tones & attention to detail (like the “i” on the headstock using the string tree as the dot) are impeccable! I’m a fan of that clover pedal, it might wind up on the board this year ;)

I have a EHX LPB-1 and it’s pretty cool, not super versatile but it does some really cool things

I saw this video a couple of months ago and was interested in that green Boss pre-amp. I then came across a picture of me on stage in the mid '80s, using exactly that pre-amp. I'd not only not realised the thing is that old, I'd even forgotten I used to have one! I had an acoustic at the time with a Barcus-Berry pickup and used it as a high-impedence buffer.

Thank you for your album recommendation! This is a great album and the song "Goodnight Elisabeth" is just made for me.... thanks again!!

I realize it may not be the intended design, but I've been using the JHS Crayon as a preamp. Master up, pre-vol @9:00ish, tilt @ roughly 12:30. It adds a certain body to my clean sound that I dig a lot.

Can definitely be used that way!

I have an EHX Glove that I use clean to add 'something' that makes the sound 'better'. i can't really explain it. Maybe I'm doing what you do too.

Ween is a band everyone says, "Oh, I know them. They played that 'Push the Little Daisies' song." Ween are so much more than that one quirky '90s MTV song.

Great pedals you are making! Great history....killer guitar and drum jams . love it

Awesome show, awesome jam, great sounding drums by the way. I listened right till the end.

🖤🖤🖤 thanks!

I've got a Visegrip and GE7 as my always-on preamp, with a dB+ for that li'l bit extra when I need it. My favorite jam today was Gazing. Makes my want to Bigsby-up my main axe, lol. My band for today's criteria would be the Lemonheads. Everybody heard It's a Shame About Ray, but never got around to gems like Hannah & Gabi and Ceiling Fan in My Spoon.

This is probably the best clone of the Boss FA-1 with the added features. There is the Billion dollar boost, retro Sonics preamp etc. Would really love to see jHs do a SDD3000 preamp pedal. There are a couple out there like the psionic triad but it’s a little pricey and more control than I want.

The earlier 1982 Lexicon PCM 42 had a nicer solid-state preamp in it. It was especially sweet for vocals and keyboards in the studio. It's just that the Edge chose the SDD 3000 and its built-in preamp became more famous with guitarists.

The Union Tube and Transistor “More” pedal is based on the SDD3k pre amp.

this jam session is the best one I have heard from you.

This video is quality man well done.

My choice for an underrated band has to be Biffy clyro. They're my absolute favorite band.
