Yes, yes they are, and so are your pedals. You two are actually my two favorite people in this business. Tore, don't remember if he spells it like that, from TC is my third in my top 3. Brian Wampler is really cool too, and I'd probably better stop there before this turns into an essay or article.
@@jumpingman8160 Haha, it was worth a try.... Actually I was being completely sincere and don't want anything but another cool video from Josh,,, and the other guys to keep doing what they do.
@@neocollective You're right on about that. I needed a buffer. Could've got a cheap one but kept looking. Found a almost new Wampler dB-1 for $67. Found a Meat and 3 modded Soul Food for $68. And I know it's old but got a Indyguitarist modded Boss CH-1 for $62. I understand these guys didn't get my money, it's part of recycling pedals to keep the spirit alive. And didn't pay over $100 for any pedal on my board except for a modded Tube Driver that fits on my board better than the new 1 I got. Love that bias knob!
@@sparkyguitar0058 That's great, glad to hear and thanks for the update. Good deals, I'm also a bargain hunter, so much that I cannot stand brand new instruments or equipment with a few new tech exceptions. How do you like the Wampler ? now I want one...LOL
@@neocollective Since I run an older wireless,AKG Bug, the dB-1 keeps my sound clean and tight. Also could be a silent mod 10 band and BBE Sonic stomp. But 13 pedals on board and hook-ups for 3 others on floor, I wouldn't be sure where noise could come from. L O L This is my 1st pedalboard and I think I did pretty good.
Great album...the album that kinda broke his mind man...dude lost his shit but they still make some interesting music since. Just not 100 percent start to finish all killer no filler like " The Bends" and "OK Computer" were. I do like the later albums though. Kid A, Amnesiac, and the like. They are just so different like its a different band man.
@@lassalle777 I took a deluxe memory boy off my board and replaced it with a late-80s fx90, it's so much easier to dial in the sounds in the head with only three knobs
"A rush of blood to the head" helped me thru my mom's passing back in 2002, definitely overplayed it, fast forward almost 15 yrs later, fell in love with it this time with tracks that I previously hated. To me that's a sign of a great record, like meeting an old friend after a while.
@@thomasaustin8477 Do you all really believe all that? How can people not look around for stuff. I see the same pedals for all kinds of prices. You just gotta look around. Maybe EBay. Maybe Reverb.
Darn you, Josh! I was viewing this video while brushing my teeth. When you said you were getting ripped you made me inhale some toothpaste, causing a coughing fit and ending with a terrible side cramp. PSA: use caution when viewing JHS videos.
The canyon is no joke, very versatile. A lot of the features are reminiscent of an earlier favorite of mine, the ehx hazarai. The canyon slays on bass and I use it more as a multi effect than a straight up delay.
@@almightytreegod Probably my least favorite feature on it. I'd grab a Boss DD5 for reverse or one of the danelectro's that do reverse. Or the Avalanche Run if you wanna splurge. But DEFINITELY try it before you make a decision.
@@almightytreegod If you want reverse delay, track down an original danelectro backtalk from the late 90s. The canyon is indeed versatile, and I too use it for something other than delay, namely the shimmer function for a faux-keyboard sound
I agree with you brother, the Ibanez DE7 is an awesome pedal. Bought one in 2000 and still have it. Many pedals have come and gone but the DE7 is still with me. It is a great pedal that is still affordable in the used market. This would be a pedal that I think Ibanez should make again.
JimijaymesGuitarist - Yeh! I’ve still got the CF7 on my board for a version I do of “House of the Rising Sun” - one of the best jet-whoosh flanger sounds ever put into a stompbox!
It’s a great delay. Some people gripe about the housing and no tap tempo , but I think the delay / echo makes up for it . In addition I seem to luck out and have the right tempo selected no matter what I play
What's up with the JHS-branded amp?! The other day I listened to Mezmerize from System of a Down for the first time in like 12 years and I loved it. Not even ashamed.
I mean why be ashamed of great music. I really dig late 90's and early 2000's bands, anything that's post-grunge era really. Alien Ant Farm is really overlooked imo.
I've had the DD20 since I started buying pedals. Literally have never wanted any of the big boy pedals. I played the timeline and PREFERRED my DD20 over it.
Somehow just running across this channel. Love the down to earth attitude and witty humor. I agree with a lot of comments that a company/creator that is cool, a fan, and part of the community and open about liking other products is very refreshing. Subscribed.
Nothing on the Digitech Obscura??? They're brand new right now for about $80 and have a ton of features. A very slept on pedal and beautiful for creating some slapback that keeps an atmosphere that is modular.
I've used the DE-7 forever. Had one when I was a kid, foolishly sold it, grabbed one again years later and I've used it ever since. The DE-7 and Carbon Copy are those two delays I just always seem to come back to.
I recently started listening to Mac Demarco his album 'Salad Days' again. I burned myself out on it a while ago but i enjoy listening to it again because he makes his Teisco Guitar sound so lush through his Chorus pedal into a Twin Reverb.
I love that you have "Loud is more good" on that white amp...because it is The Behringer sounded surprisingly good. I played around with EHX's Canyon at NAMM and was SUPER impressed. And of course you add the DD-20...I had that on my bassist's board and he lost it at the Whiskey in October and I am ultra sad about that. Album I played to DEATH was "In the Flat Field" by Bauhaus. When I was a kid in the 80s, I REALLY played that to DEATH. Recently I threw it on again for nostalgia sake and my word, it is an awesome album.
Modest Mouse-"We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank". I was flipping through some old CDs last week and put it in. It's been on repeat in my truck ever since, just like 10 years ago. Maybe not the "coolest" album of theirs, but definitely my favorite. Phenomenal sounding guitar work, and lyrics as only they can do.
Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights. Honestly, after the first year of incessant playing, I didn't retouch it until the anniversary edition. The new album is their best since.
Love Interpol! They recorded their first two cd's in Ct. My pal was hanging with them at the recording studio and they borrowed his Arp Synth. Saw them at Toads Place after U2 tour got postponed and they put together some quick dates! Drummer SUPER UNDERRATED!!!
Behringer pedals are no joke. The very first pedal in my signal chain is an NR-300 'Noise Reducer' ($25 carbon copy of the Boss NS-2 circuit). I'll take it to the grave with me!
@@Jihadbearzwithgunz Actually, just like the Boss NS-2, the NR-300 has its own FX loop that's specifically designed to isolate 'noisy pedals' from the rest of the signal path. I run my compressor, OD & distortion pedals through that loop, then simply run the regular output into the modulation and time-based stuff. Sounds killer, organic and dead silent! 🤘
Yep. I bought the delay Josh mentioned and the Vibrato pre-Waza because I had neither the funds nor the inclination to spend over $500 on vintage Boss pedals. I keep thinking I should take them off my board and out Waza Bosses on, but they sound great, have been reliable, I'd rather buy pickups from Curtis Novak, and I'm lazy. The delay is a straight up DM3 copy and sounds like it.
@@imannonymous7707 It's three-fold; 1) handling 60-cycle single coil pickup hum into compression & dirt tones, 2) running into higher gain, inherently noisy tones in general (think Wampler Sovereign, or the Lead channel on my Boogie Studio .22+) and 3) running into a poorly wired, or noisy outlet in a room with a lot of florescent lights or electromagnetic interference, etc. The Behringer is *not a noise gate* - an important distinction to point out. It's more of a limiter that's designed to isolate and control 'noise' in the most literal sense. I keep the Threshold control very low and run the Decay about half. This allows any unintentional noise to trail off and delay smoothly and gradually, while staying out of the way of the amp's natural feedback, etc.
Yeah, I have a canyon - it sits after my lucky cat - which sits after my memory boy. I really like delay. A couple of weeks ago I popped in the second Black Crows album - The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion - a record I wore out in High School - and realized the passage of time has made me love it even more. In fact - I'd put it up next to any late 60s, early 70s Stones as one of the finest pure Rock and Roll records ever made. The guitars will destroy you on that thing. Not a weak song in sight. I strongly suggest everybody crank it up and give it a listen. I promise it will blow you away.
..comment for 3y old video:) Pixies - "Bossanova". Became one of "my fave" in early 90s. Dropped completely for about 25 years and rediscovered again.. Lucky cat delay is discontinued :(
I recently rediscovered the wonders of CCR's Bayou Country after having burned the hell out of it in the 80s... tremolo is my favorite effect and Born on the Bayou is a fine example of tremolo goodness. Cheers Josh!
Manchester Orchestra - Everything to nothing. Man did I pump that back in the day.. "I am the only one that thinks I'm going crazy and I don't know what to do..."
I occasionally decide to listen to one of The Bronx's albums, then end up spending a month listening to all of them on repeat, then get sick of it. They're all awesome, and a little different.
Great list of good stuff right here. But there are always these questions missing when it's about delays : What will you do with ? And how will it works in your audio chain? I've played delays since early 80's. Something like 200 différents boxes and racks. I began with digital and finally I've found the holy grails of delays, all in the bucket brigade world. There are not only one, but something like 10. And the top of the top is the Boss Dm-2 Waza Craft you showed in this video. But it's not perfect. I say top of the top because it's the best delay for what I need (high gain soloing with the custom mode) and for my favorite amp : the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Revision G, made from 1993 to 2000. This Rectifier has the parallel fx loop. Yes, you need a parallel loop for the DM-2 Waza Craft. If your amp has a serial fx loop, for exemple the Soldano SLO100 or the Freedman BE100, or the Rectifier Multiwatts in production since 2010, you will need an extra pedal : the Skrydstrup PL-1. skrydstrup.com/audio-tools/loop-boxes/ I love so much this Dm-2 that I've bought 5 of them : 2 for my W/D/W Rectifiers rig, 2 for my Diezel VH4 Stereo and one for my Soldano SLO100 (with the PL-1 to go parallel with the loop). The Boss Dm-2 works perfect with the Bogner Ecstasy or with the Dual Rectifier 3 channel solo head (the one made from 2000 to 2010) or the Engle Steve Morse signature head… because they are all loaded with parallel fx loop. After the Bm-2, into the loop, I add an Ernie Ball volume pedal. It works as an expression pedal and a booster at the same time. So I can feel like Steve Morse with such a rig. For a few years now, I play all my solos with the Dm-2 Waza Craft. It became a part of my sound. I can't live without it. If you wanna plat some Steve Vai, you need this delay. Feels like Van Halen playing "Ain't talkin bout love"?, plug this delay in front of a Plexi and you got it. Now, in the "not expensive delays world", you should have mentioned 2 other pedals able to work with high gain, in serial and parallel fx loops. Number one : the amazing Way Huge Echo Puss. It's fat and dark as hell. I use this one as a short delay on heavy riffs. This guy knows what should do a delay on a high gain wall of sound. The tone knob is magic! If you play stoner metal, this is the one you need. The Way Huge Supa Puss sounds different, more agressive. It's not the best for the Rectifier, it's better for a Mesa MkIIC+. Number two : the Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail. I use this one for some Pink Floyd under steroids. Imagine a Dual Rectifier with the gain at 8 and the Vapor Trail at 900ms. Now plays the intro of "Sorrow". Huuuuuge xD I use to plug a chorus or a phaser in the insert of this pedal. And just after, I add an Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Neo Verb on plate mode. Welcome into space! If we talk about more expensive delays, here is my top 3. You, at JHS, made the best delay ever with the PantherCub. I own the big box 1.5 that I use with a Friedman BE100 (serial loop). In the insert, I plug an MXR Phase 95 (in phase 90 mode). This delay deliver a paradise clean tone. Awesome! And it works with high gain !!! OMG I love this shit. I bought the v2.0 and it works with parallel loops. So I can use it with my Rectifiers. Great. So I've bought a second one to go dual mono. Another great delay comes from Greece. It's made by Jam Pedals : the Llama. Works only in serial loops. This is my favorite delay for the crunch. It's fat. I use this one to play some Pink Floyd. It has the psychedelic vibe inside. And last but not least, the legendary Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory man. I discovered this unit with Steve Morse and Andy Timmons. I use this one for the clean. This delay is made for clean. Every guitar player should buy one. It's a classic. It sounds like "I feel good at home". I should say it's confortable. I bought the TT1100 too because on this one, you can set the expression pedal on the blend. This is exactly what I need on a delay. Even if high gain is not his territory, the DMM can works with heavy distorsion. It's OK with Marshall, Friedman, Bogner or Suhr amplifiers. I own many other delays, some are expensive. But I will not talk about theme because I don't play them no more. I don't need something else than the ones I just mentioned above. I just have a dream. If somebody, JHS for exemple... could built a rack unit, a stereo full analog one with a line mixer and all those circuits in, I would be the most happy guitar player on earth.
is this Toki or Skwisgarr? your happiness is possibly only as far as a rack with drawers filled with analog pedals with mixer on top or floor switcher like CAE or whoever is hip nowadays. serial, parallel, combo, side chain loops...Session cats been playin this stuff for years. even country pickers with Dumbles and Trainwrecks! Brave new world-sharing is caring kinda stuff. I haven't checked or kept up on it, but gay might mean happy again!
First of all I totally called the Canyon being on there. Of all the delay pedals I've had, its the only one. Second of all, I used to listen to CAKE's Fashion Nugget so much that I couldn't sleep at night from the songs floating around in my head. Its one of the rare albums that should be listened to from beginning to end as it progresses through all the tracks much like Abbey Road or Let It Be. Comfort Eagle is similar, but Fashion Nugget is a gestalt, and gestalt is a cool word.
@@jimhova basically. back in the day I was into my TS7 (replaced by a JHS modded Soul Food which is always on, an EHQ Westwood and a Russian Big Muff Reissue) and my Phase Shifter (before I really appreciated not having a volume drop...HINT HINT JHS). nowadays I've expanded my horizons.
A whole bunch of retailers just blew out their stock of DOD Rubbernecks for $100. Those should be pretty cheap on the used market soon and it's my favorite delay I've ever used.
Wow, and I thought my $149 price at the New Year was good for the Rubberneck! And as for the complaint that it's "noisy AF," that hasn't been my experience ... and I'm running it through a Roland Jazz Chorus 22 that is ultra clean, so believe me I hear every little thing.
I got a DE7 years ago for like 30$.....used to love the self oscillating stuff......band mates not so much lol Oh yeah burnt out Mars Volta “De-Loused in the Commatorium”.......probably will again soon hah
DD-20 is my favorite pedal of all time. Been on my board for almost 10 years! I didn't expect to see it in this video but it deserves the recognition. I've had the carbon copy on my board for almost as long , amazing pedal
Can anyone tell me why all delay pedals are tap delay and why its almost impossible to find a pedal that you can manually enter the delay time yourself without the need to tap tap tap tap? Its so frustrating.
I wore out three 8-track copies and two LP’s of the first Boston album. It made me hate it all the way into the 90’s. About a year ago, I heard “Hitch A Ride” on the radio, came home, put the headphones on and achieved 70’s Utopia.
Just when I thought the DD20 wasn’t going to make the list. I love the DD20, I have had mine for almost 11 years now, and I have no intention of getting rid of it. I did recently get it modded and rehoused by NosePedal though. Smaller footprint and onboard tap tempo installed. Also I love Copeland’s Eat, Sleep, Repeat. I had the same experience with Eat Sleep Repeat and In Motion.
@@spinekeeper thats him! CFM (Charles Mootheart his solo project) is who i saw using it live, i even talked to him afterwards and asked him about it, he said he liked it because it sounded great while also being cheap and functional. I also got a 7" and got it signed afterwards ;^)
@@Psyfonify loud, fuzzy garage jams. CFM was the band that i saw, he (Charles Mootheart) plays with other artists as well, like Mikal Cronin, Ty Segall and many others
Dude!!! DD-20 all the way ... seriously that pedal is awesome. I have a timeline, and the only thing I would take it off for would be the dd-20, just for the value and the sound. Big fan right here.
relient K - Two Lefts Don't Make a Right..but Three Do ran that into the ground but recently came back to it and it holds up as does most of relient K's work
I owned a Boss DD-2, and Japanese DD-3, a MXR Carbon Copy, a Boss Waza Craft Delay and one day I bought a Delay pedal that blew me away and made me sell all of those that I mentioned. A $19.99 (on sale, brand new) Rogue Analog Delay. I don't know what it is exactly about it, but I love it so much that I just got rid of all the others. I even bought another Rogue Analog Delay to keep as a backup.
Got my 1st vinyl copy of "Electric Ladyland" in high school. After my first year @ college & countless hits of blotter LSD it was beat to s**t & totally unplayable. Replaced it & lost it in the divorce. Bitterness & punk led me away for almost a decade until Experience Hendrix re-released Jimi's catalogue. I bought the deluxe edition. I listen to the whole damn thing at least once a week. "Super Session" (Al Kooper, Stephen Stills & Mike Bloomfield) is a close 2nd.
I really appreciate these kind of "sub-$100" videos, because for players on a budget (like me) it's a good starting point for exploring new sounds in an affordable way. I'll be sure to save my pennies for an actual JHS pedal to say "thank you" one of these days.
The only album that comes to mind for having burned it out and realizing later that it was still awesome was Van Halen’s Diver Down. Everybody has talked trash about that album, including EVH, who talked about how rushed the production was. Only about five years ago I listened to the album as a whole again for the first time since the 1980s. The whole thing is fantastic! It has some of the most quintessential Van Halen sounds ever recorded! But back in 1982 we wore it out.
Firstly, that Two-Five pedal kicks ass. Second point, you've inspired me to play with my delay pedals more. I have an EHX Canyon and a Dr. No Motherbrain. As always, great video Josh!
i guess not. They can make it that cheap because they produce a large number in china, use cheap parts and quality control is probably not that great. When you're hand-building small numbers of pedals trying to archieve premium results, measuring every single germanium transistor or so it's much more expensive than 20 bucks per pedal because 1 technician working hour probably costs more and you don't even have materials for that price.
@@Zwidawurzn If we can mass produce extremely complicated electronic hardware like computers, we can mass produce these relatively simple effect pedals.
@@iamadness69 sure. The more you produce the cheaper it gets but you also have to sell all that so there's no point in mass producing a product when you just sell a few dozens each year. That's where you go for hand-building. But even with mass production material prices matter, that's why the Behringer is made from plastic, plastic is cheaper than metal. You can also guess the circuit boards inside are not gold-plated like they are in Bogner-Pedals.
I fell in love with the FX90 sounds after this video and scored one for $50 from the used section at a GC. Could not be more happy with it. Thank you for this video.
Don't forget the Joyo Digital Delay, a digital clone of the MXR Carbon Copy. I own both and I can't hear a difference. No modulation switch but it's true bypass, 25ms to 600 ms, and only $29.
One of my earliest guitar memories was looking in the back of my dad's songbook (the songs themselves didn't interest me) and seeing an advert for those food-themed Danelectro pedals.
I have a Dano FAB digital delay. Sounds fine to me and I think it was like $30 new. First pedal I ever bought. Goofy control layout though. No Electro-Harmonix pedals, but I run their preamp tubes in my Mesa combo. Been messing around w/ a Line 6 M5. It has really nice delays and modulation. The drive stuff is pretty Meh, but the compressor models are great. And used $100 or less.
Psyfonify if you use a switching system with midi, I believe you call different effects on the m5 while engaging and disengaging various pedals on your board at flick of a switch.
@@depotgear does twisting the m9s knobs with a delay on-screen do all the crazy explode your amp demon screeches that the dl4 did when messing with knobs?
You know, before Danelectro went with food names, they had some larger, better, less-stupidly-named pedals on offer. I got my Dan-Echo used for $45 (they were $90 when they came out in like 1998), and it's a terrific pedal. And it's not plastic. I love my Dan-Echo.
The one that got away on me.... i thought its getting old im sure there are some new delays that blow this away... I have worlds and worlds of delay since but still looking for a used mint ECHO PARK. I dont really trust online. I want to find it used at my local shops in mint.
