@@austincox1709 Not quite yet For starters: Something is adding noise, I think it's the 19" blank plate And I'm in the proces of integrating a USB circuit into a Metalzone, so I can use it as Audio interface This way, I don't have to put a Metal zone in between my Cab Mike and my interface for a better quality signal, though 2 in series might just be even better Somebody tried to be a smartass and asked me when I'm gonna put a Metalzone into the CPU socket of my PC ..what an idiot! Everyone knows you can't turn a Metal zone in a CPU JCM 800? Sure! But not a Metal Zone
@@Nightdare Actually, Metal Zones run fine at the voltages provided by a CPU socket. Plus, you don't need to use a heatsink or fan so your PC will run quieter. I'm not sure if Windows supports Metal Zone architecture so you may need to use a custom Unix build.
I just have to say that I really find myself watching more and more content from this channel and I have realized why; You are genuine. It's something that is growing increasingly difficult to find and I think most people would be surprised that this is not at all a channel where the Owner and Creator constantly shills their own product. You are honest and make killer pedals.
Exactly! I often forget that Josh actually owns a company that sells pedals he designs, and I feel like they are more often than not left out of whatever the episode is about because he’s pushing someone else’s pedals on us lol. Thanks genuine. Maybe it’s that Midwestern thing everyone talks about. Either way Josh is a great guy and I’d love to spend a Sunday afternoon just hanging out, drinking a few beers and jamming. Or watching the home shopping network. Either one would be a great time.
I started watching this channel like a couple days ago and I've already watched so many of their videos. They're one of my favorite guitar channels (I know I know. They're technically pedals but those jams are killer)
As hilarious as that was, Josh somehow took that stupid novelty pedal and made something musical with it. I think that's the first time I've seen it used where it didn't come off as terrible and out of place. He made it work
Overdrive- Wampler Tumnus Deluxe Fuzz- JHS Muffeletta Time- mxr carbon copy Modulation- tc electronic 3rd dimension Compression-either keeley compressor or the fender bends Other-boss ge-7. That is the only guitar pedal that Has stayed on my board since I started playing electric guitar. It’s always been there.
Nice choice. It's the kind of album music snobs like to sneer at for its pretentious proggy concept but the music rocks harder than almost any other album I've heard.
@@llObscurell surely not (check Boomerang, Pigtronix Infinity, the larger EHX and Boss devices ... even the Line6 M9/M13 looper is better). But still a very good one. And still a delay ahead of time in many ways, capable of some sounds that a Strymon Timeline cannot replicate; like, stereo Ping Pong delay, Auto Volume Echo with swell for the dry part of the signal, or Tube Tape delay.
Overdrive: BMW Auto 6-speed Delay: British Airways - Never on time. Compressor: Kaeser M27 92 CFM - Noisy as hell. Modulation: Anderton & Rowland's Waltzer One - complete with screams Weird: Bottled Farts - complete with 110v ignition set. Album: 'Circus Money' by Walter Becker.
"Mathew I chose because he will have very different angle, he does a lot of codeine..." What? For non-native speaker English can get confusing sometimes
...I think you may need multiple versions of "Am I Gonna Survive" ...like there could be a more metal version for when you're really irked. ...don't mind me backseat YouTubing over here.
Lots of amazing choices!! Really hard to choose favorites, but here's today's list: 1. Overdrive: Earthquaker Devices Monarch. I love FET drives! This one is fantastic! 2. Fuzz: So many good ones to choose from!! I have to say the EQD Hoof Fuzz. Simultaneously classic and modern, with tons of tweakability. At the opposite end of the spectrum is the Dedalo O68 Oscillator octave fuzz. Incredibly versatile and very tweakable! It gets real dirty. 3. Time-based: Red Panda Tensor Tape Delay or Red Panda Particle V2 granular delay. Red Panda 's pedals have some of the cleanest tone out there, and the uniqueness and usefulness of their stuff is impressive! Both are far too diversely functional to describe. Just watch the videos. 4. Comp: Dedalo Gorila bass compressor. Dedalo Effects out of Argentina makes some really great pedals, many of which are a little outside the box!! I'm primarily a bassist. The Gorila is a tastefully colored bass comp with a lot of tweakability. It adds a lot of clarity, and it's great at pretty much every setting! 5. Modulation: Too many good ones to choose from. I'll go with the Walrus Audio Julia Chorus/Vibrato. Clean, crisp, modern-yet-warm chorus with optional vibrato. 6. Weirdo noise pedal: EQD Rainbow Machine and/or Red Panda Raster arpeggiating delay. Technically the Raster is a time-based pedal, yes... But those arpeggios!
Favorite record 2000-2020: The Beautiful Letdown / Switchfoot. This album was the inflection point on the musical journey of my youth. It was my stepping stone into rock music and my biggest inspiration to start playing guitar. 1. Fulltone OCD 2. Skreddy Lunar Module 3. Electro-Harmonix DMMTT 4. Neo Instruments Vent 5. Origin Cali76 6. TC Electronic Ditto
Great pedal, certainly one of the best of the last 20 years. I feel like there should be an expanded version of this list. Maybe2 or 3 more categories and several choices for each. Mel9 would certainly make the cut.
I don’t have much pedal so these are just out of the ones that I own Overdrive: Jhs Morning Glory Fuzz: Jhs Crayon Time: Fender reflecting pool Modulation: Jam Ripply fall Other: Digitech whammy V5 And favourite album is probably In Rainbows
1. overdrive/distortion: Smallsound/Bigsound Mini 2. fuzz: Wren and Cuff White Elk 3. time: Fairfield Circuitry Meet Maude 4. modulation: Lastgasp Art Laboratories Transroom 5. compression: Moog MF Boost (alter-compression for people who don't like compression) 6. other/weird: Montreal Assembly Count To Five
I gotta tell ya, I'm impressed with this guy's creativity. I have 1 guitar, 1 amp, 1 distortion and 1 delay and I still don't know WTF to do with everything. It took forever just to make everything not suck, now I'm afraid to breath on a knob.
@@joaquin8637 I just bought one and I'm blown away. It's such a tasteful drive sound but the eq coming before the circuit so you can boost the circuit if you want and then buffer knob just take it to the next level. It's so versatile.
@@KuhKronus I agree the julianna is a better pedal but I chose the julia over it because of its impact/influence. I'm excited for the new cheaper options like the ehx eddy.
I like that all these guys, while running their own companies, for the most part, picked pedals they don’t make. I can appreciate the honesty and it makes me want to do business with them.
Josh, This was my first introduction to Death By Audio. I’d love to see you do a whole episode on their pedals... such a cool company and unusual products. I love it
OD: EQD Plumes - This OD gives a real refreshing take on the TS and brings a more modern sound. Can't get enough of its sound. Fuzz: Big Muff Pi w/tone wicker - Not a fuzz that does anything crazy, but does exactly what I want out of a fuzz. I'm no fuzz fanatic, but this fuzz is one I look to turn on whenever I get the chance. Mod: DigiTech Whammy - Do pitch-shifters count? I'll make them count. This pedal has pushed my creative drive to new heights. It's stupid fun to use in a variety of ways. Comp: Only ever played the Boss CE-3, so that's my pick sorry guys. Time: Neunaber Immerse Mk. II - This pedal packs a massive punch from a normal-sized enclosure. It may not have the amount of options as a BigSky, but it does everything a reverb will ever need to do. And the reverbs themselves are so customizable with such a small enclosure and minimal knobs. I could never see a BigSky replacing this on my board. Weird: Walrus Audio Slo - Haven't played many weird pedals, but the Walrus Slo is definitely a weird pedal to me. The mixture of reverb and modulation can craft some very bizarre sounds that I just love.
I honestly feel like the Darkglass B7K should be one of the important pedals of the 21th century. It not only give raise to what is now a giant company but also created a whole new era for bass tone.
Darkglass literally made any other bass preamp/drive obsolete in my eyes. I've never had a band situation where it didn't make my tone cut right through. Also it isn't based on any existing distortion circuit, its a completely original design
Can’t think of anything more ubiquitous than the Strymon Timeline and Bigsky combo for time based effects, especially in the P&W world. Still rocking mine.
I use the timeline and blue sky. I almost had bought the big sky but for me it seemed like overkill. Strymon are so clean and great if your running in stereo there is no other choice. My favorite effect of all is just a good amp and your fingers!
This is easily the best gear related youtube content available...by far. Love the brand and style that Josh and team bring along with extensive knowledge and musicianship. Super funny and informative. Thanks for hours of entertainment and learning!
Thank you Josh for the constant inspiration, and for keeping us entertained in this strange times. overdrive/distortion: Free The Tone Gigs Boson modulation: Boss CE-2 Waza Craft fuzz: Vemuram Myriad Fuzz time: MXR Carbon Copy compressor: Keeley Compressor + weird: Earthquaker Devices Rainbow Machine
OD: Boss Angry Driver Fuzz: DOD Carcosa Comp: SP Comp Time: Strymon El Capistan Modulation: Eventide H9 Weird/Other: TC Ditto Album: too hard, but Absolution by Muse is a solid choice
They could and should do a drum kit rundown video, absolutely! They need to get nerdy with it too. I’m sure there’s a bunch of us here that do both guitar and drums.
Overdrive: Mad Professor Sweet Honey Fuzz: Wren & Cuff De La Riva Space: Walrus Slo Modulation: Boss CE-2W Compression: Boss CP-1X Weird: Earthquaker Arpeggiator
Don’t even want to vote. Just wanna vote that Josh’s slippers/moccasins are aaaaaaammmazing and I want them. If I buy a morning glory can I get a free pair of those slippers? Btw best album of the last 20 years: The Mars Volta De-Loused in the Comatorium
I’m going to regret selling my Tera Echo aren’t I (at least my DD-500 has a TE-2 setting on it )... I’ve regretted selling my DD-20 for the last 4 years too, miss you old buddy...
OD: Mid Fi Electronics Magick "i" Fuzz: Thorpy FX Veteran SI Time: Boss DD7 Modulation: Strymon Mobius Other: Red Panda Tensor Record:Thrice - Artist in The Ambulance / Jason Isbell - Southeastern
ALL CANADIAN LIST! (I might have chosen differently if I included other countries, but just look at these pedals and tell me that Canada hasn't killed it in the last twenty years!) Fuzz: SolidGoldFX Lysis Compressor: Diamond Compressor Overdrive/Distortion: Dr. Scientist The Elements Time: Montreal Assembly Count to Five Modulation: Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Waters Weird: Empress Effects ZOIA
1. Darkglass B7K. I'm a bass player, and this is a bass pedal, but its the greatest pedals of the century, not the greatest guitar pedals. Darkglass basically invented the modern metal bass tone with this one. 2. Orange Fur Coat. It's tough for me because I love old fuzz pedals, and this is a clone of an old fuzz, but it does something different with it that I like. You can toggle the octave on and off with a separate footswitch, which you couldn't do with the original Foxx Tone Machine, which is a great addition. 3. Source Audio Collider. Why have a Timeline and a Big Sky when you can have both of those pedals in one that takes up 25% of the space for $500 less? Exactly. 4. Strymon Mobius. It does all the modulation and does it well. The king of versatility. 5. Origin Cali76. The best 1176 pedal out there. There's a whole bunch of different versions of this one, and they're all great 6. Source Audio EQ2. I'd pick the Miku, but it's really just a joke pedal. The SA EQ2 is the best EQ pedal ever made. It can do just about anything. It's rivals aren't other pedals, it's plugins like Fab Filter Pro Q that can do literally anything.
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer The Strymon has good qualities, too. I own one, as well as both the Republicans Neo 1 and 2. I think the Neo 2 nails the Leslie sound and has the best controls, but it comes down to what works for you. I also have the now-extinct Behringer RM600 Rotary Machine that does a remarkable job for $49, but is difficult to control using the stomp switch to change from slow to high speed when you’re playing a song.
I have no idea why Spellcheck inserted the word ‘Republican’ except that it’s an election year. I do not consider political affiliation when selecting a pedal for my board.
this channel has opened my ears to so much cool stuff. introduced me to new brands and awesome people who make cool stuff but i've gotta say, it's a tie between jhs and boss on my board. 3 of each. a strymon, a walrus, and my volume pedal.
@@yoursensei8837 Yes i've been an owner of a Cali76 compact since 2019. It ended my quest for a compressor. Absolutely first class pedals. I own (or have owned) all the pedals in my list ;)
It has always been hard for me to select a favorite (in many things). Anyway, let's try : OD : CGC Wave Cannon Fuzz : ezhi&aka BROMDIHYDROCHLORPHENYLBENZODIAZEPINE Time : empress Echosystem Modulation : EQD Night Wires Other/weird : Red Panda Tensor
