Agreed, but I'm guessing that any Addision videos will be recorded as a batch and then released one-by-one over time. Nothing in this Danelectro video references recent JHS videos or shorts (could have been recorded months ago). I also believe Addison won't appear on any future LIVE videos. No hating intended with this post, just sad reality of post-Addison era.
When I found your page last year "he has the box" was such a big thing for me that I binged any of your videos, and showed people at work because we all thought it was funny.
I love Addisons bass tone for this episode so much that I could marry it, buy a house together, have a couple of kids, watch them grow and form their own families, then we ould move out to the countryside and spend our last days holding hands while we stare into the sunset. That's how good it is
I just spent twelve months collecting this set of pedals because I love how they look. Even bought a Danelectro guitar to complete the ensemble. The pedals sound amazing!
Honestly I'm barely starting out with guitars, but your channel has brought my son (and I) a LOAD of entertainment to the point that I will probably be buying a pedal just so he can sing "He has the box!" and actually have the box.
I only started watching this channel a week ago, but already "words iz hard" and "he has the box" have become part of my daily lexicon 😆. Loving these pedal review/mini-documentary things. They're rad! Also, side note, yep, those paisleys... I worked in a guitar shop, here in the UK, about 20 years ago or so, and I'm pretty sure we sold them. My memory might be playing tricks on me, but I feel like we also sold those Wasabis, but it was a long time ago, so I might be imagining things.
Their Cool Cat Chorus changed my life. My band was doing the Local H thing, no bassist, and I used the Cool Cat’s stereo outs to split my signal so that I could treat one as the bass and one as guitar and it was absolutely killer. I’m sure the chorus sounded fine too.
@@jhspedalsAddison is living up to his hair...I jest. Glad they put him up on the mix. Nick strikes me as gregarious. Josh the three of you make a great band. Love the guest star episodes.
I had a Danelctro FAB Overdrive , loved it , made the mistake loaning it to a friend and never got it back . After watching this video it reminded me of just how much I miss that pedal . Now I need therapy.....
That Forward Reverse Delay makes a poor man hungry. Always knew the Dane Electro pedals were underrated and over looked as I've had quite a few sitting next to expensive pedals over the years and got funny looks from not so funny people. What a champion of a man. Thanks for the history and run down.
I play catch-up a lot with your presentations and love them more and more. Josh you sense of humor laced with sarcasm is something that has always been normal for me. With your videos, i am educated and entertained at the same time. And the band and their creations are incredible. A few weeks ago I needed a reverb but I am not one for endless options. I just don't enjoy thinking that much so I took a chance on your very affordable JHS Octave -Reverb. What an amazing little pedal where I can have complexity without thinking about it. For our softer songs, it allows me to color and lay a pad underneath the chord at an octave higher or lower depending. Too much to say her, but your knowledge base is amazing. BTW, I completely understood your Bad Monkey presentation as it was laced with your sarcastic humor. The internet being what it is, I was not surprised at the responses. Keep up the great work all of you including those behind the scenes. Oh and for the JHS pedal - I have the box.
Yeah. It’s unedifying seeing people get all salty because someone criticises their output on RU-vid. Frankly, if you’re gonna get all weepy because some rando (who probably just had his partner leave him for someone less whiny) criticises you, then really. Why are you producing videos for public review? The only thing worse is when they go on about how little it matters but the fact they speak about it for 10 minutes straight and you can see the tears in their eyes just gives the lie. Sorry, wrong side of the bed this morning. I usually try to only ever moan about people in a jokey way.
@@julianmorrisco I feel like the internet has made people lose ability to judge someone's tone. Josh isn't being weepy here, he's poking fun at a dumb complaint through dry humor
Banana tuner. That takes me back. First tuner I ever had. No idea where my dad found it, but it came with me to Jr. High in my guitar class. Everyone in the class used it because no one wanted to tune to the piano.
The last three jams are the best ones yall have done and Belle still looks beautiful even with that catapiler on her lip. Need to get a color box off yall to show my appreciation of all yalls work over these last few years, yall make me feel like I actually have cool and interesting friends, thanks for that.
I love Decks Dark! It's actually my favorite Radiohead song to play on bass. I can understand why Josh played it over a hundred times, I also can't get enough of it.
Great video as always Josh and team. Would love to see you give your take on Soundlad pedals from Liverpool. Your content has itched my brain and been helped me find focus in the last few years, so really appreciate all you do and will do on the future
I bought my wasabi forward/reverse delay brand new from fairfield music in B'ham uk nearly 20yrs ago & still have it, it got regular use for several years, got some amazing sounds from it, recently I was looking thru boxes of leads & stuff & found it, once again I have it hooked up on my pedalboard, still works just fine, yes times have moved on & there are some amazing ( expensive) pedal these days but there is just something about the danelectro that makes it the only pedal I have bought & not sold on - thanks for doing this video & bringing the attention it deserves to light, I don't have a clue if it has any value these days at all but hopefully it will become a collectors item one day.
Keep brining the Daneletctro content! One of my first guitars was a Dano that I still have. But the pedals were so affordable, I would buy the Dano version before I bought the "real" version. Some of them I even liked better than the real version. To this day, nothing sounds quite like the Grilled Cheese
Loved this episode! I think it would be really cool if you dove into the more doom side of fuzz pedals. Your fuzz episodes are so awesome and there are a lot of cool company’s making some really strange fuzzes aimed towards that market. I couldn’t think of any better channel to rip through them. Awesome episode!
I love, like really LOVE!!! when you say you have the box Josh. Fun fact, I myself have ALL boxes to every pedal I've ever bought. It drives my wife crazy, she asks me "why do you keep all these boxes?" and I simply tell her - I have the box! To which my kids say - "he has the box", which I've taught them to say of course. And you know what, she has no comeback to that other than - "he has the box"...
"Hoisted upon the shelves of pedal history" made me laugh aloud...thank you. The "warrior of time and space" comment was also good. I watch these for the pedals and the jams ('Cheap Strat' is still my favourite one) but the Josh comments are always worthwhile.
Thanks Josh Boss & JHS folks. I always pay close attention and take note of the names to these episodes where you, Demo, Explain & review. Lesser known or less popular and usually budget friendly pedals, Doing this I automatically know which pedals to cross then off of my "pedals I want list" I eliminate them because the prices will inevitably skyrocket to incredibly stupid level; That only a guitar player would be goofy enough to pay. (for something he/she never wanted or needed before you pointed them out) And so; in Doing these episodes, You & your show, Saves me the time, Effort & probably disappointment of looking to buy any of these pedals, There is no Sarcasm intended in my comment. It's a sincere Thanks. And I love the "He's Got the Box"
cool man, i used to have a music shop demo board from danelectro with 5 effect pedals permanently attached, i have an Arion chorus at one point also. I sold the whole board to a singer i met, friend of friend, long ago. I never saw the Wasabi line of danelectro though, so this is a bit of a treat, thx :)
I love the stinger "He has the box" every episode that has it makes the episode complete you can only get that feeling of wholeness and completeness by having the box.
I remember the ads in Guitar World magazine, but unfortunately, I never founded one in the music store 😢. Great video, as always, and you got box and keep mine pedal boxes too 😊
Josh, I clicked the like button because you played "He Has The Box". I always like when you say it. I don't know how many times when I look at pedals online I ask myself "Does it have the box"? BTW, the stingers are what makes the show so much fun.
I bought the forward/reverse delay brand new in 2004 from Alto music in Middletown, New York. They had the whole line of pedals there in-store to demo. At the time I was playing in a band and was trying to be a tpurist while not using any pedals at all. Then we got into the studio and realized that the songs really needed different effects for the different parts. That’s what sent me on the quest to Alto’s. I remember not even knowing what the hell a forward/reverse delay was. I played an ES-335 through a twin reverb amp. I remember that I didn’t even understand what the pedal was doing at all, but I loved what was coming out of the speakers. That was the beginning of it all for me. I had other pedals prior to that like a fuzz and a wah, but none of them really stuck around for me. That delay pedal caused a chain reaction which has resulted in many thousands of dollars spent on many large pedalboards. That pedal literally changed the sound of our band and my style of playing. Eventually, the 9 V outlet for power broke, and that was the end of that pedal due to the components being nano. In 2010 I was told by Dan electro that there were no parts available and that it was beyond repair. All they said to me was sorry. RIP, my sweet, sweet wasabi
Finally watching this video on my PC instead of my TV so I can actually comment. I bought three Wasabi pedals brand new at Matanuska Music in Wasilla, Alaska. I had the Distortion, Overdrive and the Chorus/Tremolo. They sounded great and I really liked them but they took up too much space on my pedal board and made it weigh a ton so I sold them. I could kick myself now that I'm collecting pedals. They were in mint condition and "I had the box" with all the candy for each pedal. I think I still have the stickers...
I just sold a blue paisley pure drive to pay bills. I love Danelectro pedals. Bought a Danecho and was hooked the back talk is my favorite reverse delay. Loved this episode. Football psych-up: get on that field get job one done so I can win a Ford truck
Thank you! I was given a Wasabi Distortion pedal about ten years ago by a friend who'd never found a use for it, I'd never really been able to find any information about them at all, barely even a photo. I've also yet to find a decent use for it but it does make some pretty fat beefy tones.
haha I'm jealous. what an amazing find. I've been attempting to collect these pedals since 2021, after seeing the Rock-A-Bye on some dude's shelf in a Facebook post. anyway, I have three of them now (the Distortion, Overdrive, and Rock-a-bye) hope to get the other two eventually. wonderful pedals!
whenever I watch an episode like this, with this amount of boxes, I feel like the universe gets at least a bit closer to balance. The world is not right, but at least if feels closer to it.
the Wasabi OD is a very versatile,good sounding "matrix" pedal,.. especially with the booster and the mix knob, you can really finetune your tone....very underrated pedal!
I actually had FAB overdrive to kick around at rehearsal, it was like $25. It was embrassingly good. I actually used it in studio. Eventually sold it due to cool kid pressure to have hipster pedals.
Holy crap! A Blue Paisley! My bandmate used a Blue Paisley for his OD sounds for years. It was an awesome sound, the way he used it. I've tried searching for one with no success. Been super curious to revisit it.
I discovered Radiohead when Paranoid Android was released as a single when I was 13. And Josh, (or Heath, as I remember you), I met you when you played in your teen band Caliber with my friend (who was the drummer). I was known as the Radiohead geek in high school, and my friend was always telling me, “You gotta meet our singer! He loves Radiohead!” So, I did meet you one time at your practice space, and I remember being floored that you had modded your Nashville Tele to have a kill switch like Jonny Greenwood’s tele! I think I begged you to put a kill switch in my Strat, but you politely declined. That was probably for the best. Anyway, I’m so happy for the success of the only other person I knew who liked Radiohead at that time! Keep up the great work!
It's great to see Josh again doing the usual kind of JHS videos. This videos are presented more as documented ones, with journalism approach instead of "opinion" videos. Way more interesting.
Radiohead is one of my top 3 favorite bands. But man do I struggle with that album. However, Decks Dark is amazing. First experience was Guitar Mag naming Ok Computer guitar album of the year. Sure I had heard Creep but that album changed my life. It led me to explore ambient music in guitar which was so rare back then I decided to do it myself. Still doing it.
