I'm the same, although with some exceptions: Phasers should be orange (MXR Phase 90), Tubey overdrives green (Ibanez TS9) except for the Boss Blues Driver of course. Definately baby blue fir chorus, any other color seems weird! Dark grey Metal pedals or Reverb.

@vonjunzt4130

MXR had an orange distortion too. Ibanez screwed it all up with the bright green tube screamer. I thought distortion/orange, overdrive/yellow, chorus/blue, delay should be green I think. MXR Carbon Copy is dark green sparkle (cool!) and the analog delay in the 70s was green. Fuzz, I agree, is silver (or bare metal). EHX has a silver fuzz, so does Boss, and most Fuzz Faces in the round case are silver (I thought)

There are always exceptions but generally... • ODs/Dist/Fuzz "Warm" colours. • Modulation "Cool" colours. • Time/Space Neutral colours. But as someone that has designed graphics on pedals, the name of the pedal can equally influence the colour.

Having been involved in something like this at NAMM a few years ago people with synesthesia don't always agree on colour/sound combos. With a guitar flanger is pinky purple and reverb feels like a speckled white/pale blue. Those are the only ones I think all 5 agreed on. The majority thought echo felt silver/grey (the more open the EQ is the shinier and sharper it feels) but different sound sources muddy the waters a lot. To me most distortion effects are mostly in the red/orange/brown spectrum when subtle, but it changes to green,gold or yellow as more is dialled in. Other people saw them as black, dark red or always green and one of the girls said she tasted rust.. So it's a weird thing.

@@Gainn A decent Flanger is definitely deep purple-pink gradient. And tape delay is definitely silver/tungsten. Reverbs are so varied in tone and response that you would have to be more specific. Spring reverbs can be army-green or a silvery-white. Halls are mainly dark grey/brown. Rooms are white/blonde/pine. Plate reverbs are generally a pleasant variety of greys.

Boss and Line 6 have had a deep impact in our minds regarding how effects should look like and which color we associate them with. The Helix user interface respects the long trayectory of their original pedal effects. And Boss green phasers, violet flangers, light blue choruses, white noise gates, black high gain distortions, grey delays, blue compressors and brown reverbs have been a classic that I hope last forever. I own both the Helix and 15 boss pedals... They are a wonderful combination.

Since you’ve covered the psychology of color with effects, what about exploring the idea of why we’re attracted to pedals and amps that are described by associating them with food qualities? For example, creamy overdrive or syrupy chorus. I think that would be an interesting discussion.

@ Is Synesthesia something that everybody has at an extremely small degree except for those with full on sensory hallucinations from it? I thought the food association has something to do with the basic lack of knowledge of musical or audio terminology. So people then use what they know to describe their perception of it. Like an overdrive being chewy or beefy. I often describe tones like SRV as juicy but know that it has something to do with the bouncy bass response and clear top end (like dropping a big stone into water? I guess that has a similar audio profile). But you're the psychologist so you would know better than me on this!

My question is, how does Josh manages to purchase all these pedals!

I've always loved the whole colors for effects idea so I loved this video. Mine are like this. Distortion - Orange. The classic DS-1 Phaser - Alien Green. Phasers have always sounded alien to me. Delay - White. Same idea as Nick had. Fuzz - Bare, Copper, or Dark Orange. When I think of Fuzz I think rust. Compressor - Red. Classic DynaComp Chorus - Deep Blue. Chorus reminds me of the deep blue ocean. And for a couple others not mentioned Reverb - Sky Blue. Big sky. Flanger - Purple. Not sure why, but purple. Wah/Filter - Also Purple? EQ - Yellow Tremolo - Turquoise Overdrive - Green

Your channel is hilarious, informative, illuminating and entertaining.... and now I've seen more of your pedal room, it also appears that you are broadcasting from possibly the most incredible guitar FX room in the history of .... well, guitar effects. Rooms. Guitar FX rooms. Can we have a tour of the shelves please guys?

I pretty much associate all my color/effect connections with the first one's I bought. Chorus... light blue (Boss CE-2). Phaser... green (Boss). Flanger... Purple (Boss). Distortion... Yellow/brownish (MXR Distortion +). Overdrive... Yellow (Boss OD). Delay... White-ish (Boss delays). Pretty much Boss ruled my color/effect associations.

Josh on drums!? That's a first (for me at least) COOL

Distortion - Orange (DS-1) Phaser - Orange (Phase 90) Delay - Dark Green (Carbon Copy) but to me the actual feeling of delay apart from pedals is a light blue for me. Fuzz - Sliver/Red (Big Muff) Compressor - Black or Red (All the compression shorts I had for sports were black. Also Dynacomp Red) Chorus - Blue (Boss Chorus in general)

I would love an Opposite Day run of pedals: blue distortion, red delay etc. JHS is the company I trust to make something like that.

Awesome vid again guys! Here are my colours: Distortion = Orange like the DS-1 Phaser = Purple for some reason, based mainly on how it sounds in my head. Delay = sky blue like the text on a DD-7 or a JHS panther cub Fuzz = Red like the text on MUFF or the Fuzz face. even more if it has an enamel hammer finish on the case for texture. Compression = white, white as hell. 'Cos it sounds like nothing, but more nothing than you had before. Chorus = Kinda yellow like the micro chorus, but mainly the blue of the CE-2 Bonus Rounds: Reverb = Light green, and I have no idea why. I think its the way it sounds in my head again. univibe = swirly combination of light blue and Neon purple. This was fun!

Spent ages on this, so I hope Josh reads it 😁 My (very wine connoisseur sounding) colour perceptions of effects: Distortion - Brown/Black. Hard to decide, but it's a dark colour to me, but one that's also non- distinct. It's a dark night drinking in the woods. Phaser/Flange - Orange. I always feel phase evokes the mental image of a sunset to me, and all the bright tints of orange that has. Delay - Blue. Makes me think of the sky, or vast salt flat deserts. Vast wilderness type terrains. Also outer space to an extent with Neptune etc. Fuzz - Silver/bare metal. I'd agree with Nick here. Fuzz feels like something very raw and unadorned. Like a chainsaw or a rusty old abandoned factory you go urbexing in. Compression - White. While compression does indeed colour sounds, I feel its white because it seems neutral, doesn't get in the way. It's an office window vibe to me. Octave/Pitch Shift - red. Definitely red. Like a tube amp running hot enough to see the tubes inside burning, or a furnace with bright flames. Reverb - Yellow/Green. Reverb comes across to me as something brights, especially spring reverb, which I would say is yellow in particular. It's like the middle of the day during heat wave in a rural area. Chorus - Dark blue. I think Chorus always makes me think of being underwater, or hearing a river nearby. It's that trickling sound. Kinda sickly but also nostalgic. As for a Weezer colour? Pinkerton, I guess. IDK, I'm not really into Weezer much. Anyway, those are my colour perceptions. Would love to know if anyone else feels the same.

Wow, once i heard distortion my mind went to orange and black too, but mostly because of the governor and the DS-1. and thats where the similarities ended lol. phaser: red delay: silver, or green. fuzz: Silver (or bare so im with nick on this one) compression: Blue (boss) Chorus: Baby blue (Ch-1) completely forgot of the lavender iterations.

Growing up in Australia I became accustomed to a particular colour coding for potato chips. Green = chicken, blue = plain/salted, purple = salt 'n' vinegar, brown/orange = bbq, yellow = cheese and onion. But during my travels in Europe and Asia, I've become aware that the colour scheme is not universal. Some countries (i.e. England) have it completely 'backwards' to my experience. That said, the flavour was still the most important part.

I don't consider myself OCD or anything but I like a pedalboard to be varied in color. I'm like this too about song titles. I think it's cool to have maybe two songs back to back that start with, say "s" but I wouldn't want 3 s titles on a set or album. Anyway, here's a couple of my ideas for expanding the list on just a couple effects not mentioned: Flanger = Purple Envelope Filter = Green Tremolo = Yellow/Gold/Cream Synth = Multiple colors as long as neon plays a role Ideal Weezer IS Blue.

Delay: deep blue (flashback), white (clear repeats. Associations to clear studio tape-like delays), Plum/pink/magenta-ish color (several bbd pedals). Black Fuzz: purple, red, orange-brown.

I don't usually comment, but Josh and Nick, you guys were so entertaining and original and funny that I just had to say something! Great, creative job on the topic and video...and greetings from MN!

I think color is more important on an individual level. Say, for instance, when Im about to step on the king of tone and look down at that super dark red...it just instills this incredible level of confidence/inspiration in what’s about to happen. Same goes with any pedal really...ready for some chorus? Ok, let’s go blue and I KNOW this is gonna be amazing. It really is more important than you’d think. Part of the playing experience is personal expression and when you have “products” at your feet that instill confidence on every level (sound, build quality, appearance, “vibe”) it just inspires you to play “better” and sometimes more creatively. The look and color is a part of that, whether or not we want to admit it.

Red , Orange Distortion (DS1), green for , purple for delay , chorus blue , phaser yellow Ibanez - fun episode guys - Fuzz Grey

My pedal experience began with an early big muff in the late 70s, but was quickly followed by a Boss PH-1 (which I still have) and other Boss pedals. Although I had some MXR stuff - the Micro-Amp comes to mind - Most of my pedals were Boss, so those are the colours for me. I had the OD-1, so yellow is overdrive, the DS-1, so orange is distortion, the PH-1, so phaser is green (not MXR orange for me, sorry), the BF-2, so flanger is fuschia, and so on.

Distortion: red Phaser: orange Delay: green Fuzz: grey/black Compression: orange Chorus: every shade between light blue and light green

J: “Are you alright?” N:“Yeah I almost died”

so much where to start. Favorite part of episode seeing the room in panarama glory. Future show idea do a room tour .OMG the drawers have pedals in them. Ok i'm back the color of flanger white with black Van Halen stripes. Please tell me at least one of those songs was named scarf mystery : ) Best weezer pinkerton always pinkerton ,so miss understood.

Distortion: somewhere between yellow and red Phaser: some sort of purple. If I had to design a phaser pedal case, it would be a bordeaux/wine red and indigo/blurple twirl. Delay: white or light grey Fuzz: as an electronic musician, not a guitarist, I have little associations with fuzz. I think I’d go with either dark red or black. Bare metal is also good. Compression is pretty colourless to me. If I’d make one, I’d make it sky-blue with very low saturation, so almost grey. Chorus: lights blue. Could go towards lilac or even pink, but mainly light blue. Some more: Reverb: mid-grey Vibe: this one’s tough, but I think black or dark grey Flanger: green. This is the only effect that’s green to me, and at the same time it’s one of the most definite ones for me. Filter/wah: brown

That's not my favorite delay, but it is my favorite delay color. Fuzz is both metal AND red to me as well. My Little Big Muff has served me well for many years, and is metal with red font. Compression is olive green. Like the McDSP Retro Limiter plug in that I use on my guitars all the time. (I don't own a compression pedal, but I use the Compressor on my EHX Battalion.) Chorus is Blue like the Super Chorus, or the LED of modulation button on the Carbon Copy. My favorite Weezer color is PINKerton. Though blue and green are my other preferred Weezer records. (Edit: Overdrive is Blues Driver blue.)

Sounds a lot like Radiohead’s “fitter happier”.

For me it’s Overdrive: yellow Distortion: black Fuzz: metal Phaser: orange Delay: light blue or white Chorus: blue Flanger: purple

Thanks for helping me justify building a pedal board with a fuzz pedal in every available color.

A future episode should definitely be some color coordinated pedal board choices. Josh already has green/orange. I'd like to see an all purple pedal board if it's possible.

Interview Devin Townsend about this topic, I would be greatly intrigued what he would have to say!

Holy shit there are pedals on every wall.

Overdrive: Yellow or Green (depending on what style obviously), Distortion: Red, Phaser: Orange, Delay: White/Grey(or silver indeed), Compressor: Black or blue, Reverb: Grey, blue or black (white or blue LED), Flanger: Purple, Chorus: Blue. I took some out of Boss' category, some of what I have on the floor based on either Led color with the corresponding footswitch or box color. Gonna agree with bare metal for Fuzzes cause Big Muff

Scary, I went the same as Nick on every pedal. That said I think you should do a JHS "50 shreds of green" range of pedals 😉

The color of distortion = “Dirty” Gold

for me that's overdrive. like a klon gold.

Music is emotion and colors and design triggers emotions. So you are god damn right I'm going to buy a lot of pedals from EarthQuaker Devices and Walrus Audio (and JHS, of course)

I wouldn't let presentation stop me from buying a pedal. A great pedal is great regardless of it's presentation.

Compressor: Yellow. (Diamond Comp) First compressor I ever owned, always on, even as I type this. Overdrive: Green. (TS variants) just a classic, can't get it out of my head. Distortion: Purple. (DigiTech Grunge) First pedal I ever owned! Delay: Navy Blue. (Korg SDD-3000) A delay unit that I spent literal years chasing down. The King of Delay put them on the map. Reverb: Grey. (Boss RV) Such a powerhouse; iconic for budget players, IMO.

Distortion - Green and Black(Even though the only distortion pedal I ever saw when I first started playing guitar in the early '90's was a Boss, I guess I think green. I love green about as much as I love black.) Phaser - Red(TC Electronics Blood Moon - It's the only phaser I could possibly afford.) Delay - Blue(Memory Man) Fuzz - Silver or Bare Metal (Big Muff) Compression - White(I have no idea why.) Chorus - Blue(Boss. I have an unhealthy love of The Cure and Robert Smith.) Nice Tears for Fears shirt, Josh.

Yes! Imagine for a moment that you mistake an antitank mine for a Russian Big Muff!!! Please EH. paint your Muffs in a standard color.

Hell yea new video

Damn this was really tough but I think I got my list Distortion: orange hues for sure, you got me there Josh. Not so much because of boss or anything, I think it's because I have a "Heavy Head" which has a graphic of a man with orange LED's for eyes and he looks insane when they turn out, like the distortion has taken his sight Delay: silver because it's so pure and I think delay at its core is a very pure effect because it is simply replicating what is already there Phaser: green because that's the colour of a laser in my mind and that's what I associate phasers with Fuzz: black, even if there aren't a ton of black pedals I associate with, when I picture fuzz I picture a white background or just the sun itself being blacked out by harsh square waves Chorus: a calming light blue, like the ocean Compressor: torn between like a gun metal grey because compressors make me think of some sort of factory machine squashing junk together, and light blue, because my first pedal was a Behringer compressor lol

Distortion - Blood Orange - .. is it an aggressive tone with blood, or is it a warm tone? guess it can be either, or both, depending on your style. Phaser - Institutional green... that sort of sun faded "previous owner left the Boss PH-1 pedal on a shelf by a window for a couple of years" color. Delay - If the absence of sound is black, and sound is white.. grey is the fading delay/echo. White is OK too. Fuzz - Saturated (80s Billy Gibbons) beard color. Compression - Boss CS-1 blue. Not sure why blue, at the time I first go into pedals, DOD was all I had access to - but DOD was orange and I hadn't come across Boss pedals yet. Chorus - Blue, but something between the Boss Compressor CS-1 blue and Boss Chorus CE-1 blue. Why? my first chorus pedal was a Yamaha 10-series and the stomp pad was a similar blue color.

I honestly always hoped someone would break away from the happy meal toy theme.

Distortion: red Phaser: orange Delay: white Fuzz: gray Compression: dark blue Chorus: light blue

Could you do a video on the history of Carl Martin pedals? Wpuld love to know more about the brand.

In my oponion Distortion: Orange (all boss distortion pedals) Phaser: Green (boss) Delay: White (all digital delay of boss Fuzz: Metalic and red (big muff, converge fuzz pedal, univox, fuzzface, boss) Compressor: i'm not a fan of this pedal but to me is orange Chorus: Purple (Ibanez, Dimension c, Small clone) Pedal color plus Reverb: Blue (Slö, Cathedral, holy grail)

I’m sorry, I’m just too distracted by Josh’s Tears for Fears tee

I dunno, my pedals are mostly silver or black, no matter the effect type.

A pedalboard like that looks epic

Distortion is Orange because of the amp the pedal I have is modeled after Phaser is Purple like Prince Don't know the color of delay because I've never used it. I wanna say a smokey pink since Looper is Maroon and Delay is kind of like a paler v ersion of a looper. Honestly, I don't know/ Fuzz is also Orange Compression is once again Orange Chorus is the creamy off-white of my Roland Acoustic Chorus amp

I may have done this before, but: Distortion: Red (aggressive; also my fave is the Danelectro Fab). Phaser: Orange (swirl of red and yellow). Delay: White. I have no idea why. Fuzz: Unfinished. The original effect. Compression: I get the orange, but for me, I think brown. Maybe my old Digitech, which I wish I still had. Chorus: Cool and pale. Backgroundy, like the sky. And then, ironically, you release a line of pedals that are all white.

Be careful, Josh. When you go “down the rat hole” you can get bitten.

It's rabbit hole. Delete your account.

Delay to me is white because my DOD Rubberneck is white! That thing can do just about any delay sound you could ever want! Awesome pedal!

Interesting and fun. For every single example I picked the same color as either Nick or Josh picked, but not all the same from one person throughout. For me it mostly had to do with my first encounters with a pedal with that function such as the little orange Phase 90. A good fun video! And fun is more good.

I hate how the DS-1 sounds and I love the Rat to death, but in my head distortion is still orange haha. It's just so damn iconic. Delay, chorus and reverb are all different shades of blue in my head, and I always imagine them close together on a pedalboard.

Chorus is blue because it’s watery, over drive is yellow because yellow takes on the color of stuff so easy. For example a yellow marker touches black and then it mixes easy. Yellow is also so light, just like overdrive. Fuzz is silver. I think of big muff and just a metal chassis. The way metal just gets rusty and dirty. Flanger is a dark purple like muk. Flanger is like sludge acid. Phaser is orange like the small stone. It’s like a wave of orange.

Distortion: Orange Phaser: I don't know because I haven't found my true inspiration with Phaser yet. Delay: Light Purple, for my first delay pedal, the Dan-Echo, still have it too. It's actually the second Dan-Echo I ever owned, I had to return the first one, because the feedback control started going crazy with oscillation and wouldn't shut off. Great bit of personal history for my introduction to delay. Fuzz: Silver/bare metal Compression: Metallic Blue for the JOYO Pipe Bomb, I still use it and love the design of the Pipe Bomb series. Chorus: Rich Blue, this one is mental for me. The ideal sound for chorus to me, makes me want so sink into the music like I'm drowning and don't care that I can't swim. It should be deep and wide, and swallow the listener in a blanket of creamy goodness. Weezer, Blue album is fantastic!!

this is so interesting. Bravo on this concept. For me Distortion is Red (cause it's a hot signal) Phaser is usually Orange to me Delay is Silver like bare enclosure to me Fuzz is Brown because it's dirty Compession to me is White and Chorus is Yellow to me (or Blue) (but pedals can be any color and i feel like the manufacturers know this the color almost effects the tone perception so if you use the wrong color people might miss judge the pedal) but What color is Flanger?

Hahahahahah!!!! The "I don't have to think" comment on the green album! So. Freaking. Good.
