Josh Reads The Craziest NOTAKLÖN Comments! 

You gotta admit "Curse of the Bad Monkey" would be an awesome pedal name. Continual marketing genious.

Josh's grave stone: "The BadMonkey Guy"

I would totally go for a Notabadmönkey. Hoping for more JHSKEA releases.

Someday I hope to buy a JHS pedal just because this guy is wicked smart and entertaining.

I think that with "hatted baby human" he meant "the kid with a hat"

As soon as I can afford it I will purchase and build mine with smiles ear to ear. JHS is an amazing company.

It’s a Klon circuit. It sounds like all other Klon circuits plus or minus individual component tolerances. People seriously talking about the comparative audio differences between the notaklon and the original are totally clueless about the point of the entire NAK exercise. That exercise, btw, is self-evidently genius.

Josh is the king of "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all". I think that the Notaklon is pure genius. Hat's off to Josh and Co. you guys are great.

I love how genuine and entertaining this channel is. I wish all of RU-vid was like this.. especially in the Guitar Gear world. We can all learn something and have a laugh at the same time

I'd love to see more kits from JHS. Maybe some educational leveling up type of pedals. Obviously this would be preschool and you could progress to just a box of components with PCB etching supplies. Eventually the customers could design the pedals for JHS as part of their dissertation in order to earn a PhD from JHS University. Instead of pedal history high school you could start a pedal building university and we could become a Dr of pedals accredited by JHS University. Feel free to use the idea because I'm sure you already thought of anyway 😉 I just want a JHS University letterman jacket. Sorry I got off track, excuse me while my ADD kicks in. 🌪️🕺🤺💨

My husband makes me endure many guitar-casts. Yours is my favorite to endure.

Amazed at the sad state of human relation these days!!! Great Idea Josh. Good Fortune to you an your Crew!

What a quote “the emoji is the hieroglyphics of the internet”. You need a NotaEmoji pedal next 😂

Here’s your new tag line; “F*ck negative comments. -JHS Pedals” You keep being you and making some of the best guitar pedals on earth !

Will JHS make more kits? Will Josh read more comments? Will AI invade the pedal industry? We're gonna need more fireside chats

15:23 everyone in the chat going "HATTTTTED 🎩🎩🎩" and josh is blissfully unaware

When you did the video about “should JHS release a Klon” (paraphrased) video I had a glimmer of hope you would release one. I had a JHS Klon years ago and sold it to pay rent. Been wanting one for a long time. I’m grateful you released the Notaklon. I’m excited to try mine when it arrives and I’m glad you were able to do this for the community and your employees. Especially just before Christmas!

This year I'm thankful for my new PackRat, Bonsai, and AT v2 that I grabbed on that 25%-off deal from Sweetwater. Thanks for being rad, JHS

OMG!!!!! Unrelated to NOTAKLON, I had just spent 2 hours rerouting my PC cables and the first thing I did that had a sound component was start this video. I was checking, double checking, and triple checking my audio cables at both ends until it was revealed your mic was in your pocket. Arghhh!!!!! 😵

Such a great DIY idea Josh. Hope this is not a one-off. Congrats on the success.

Josh needs to do an episode of running his mic through different Klons.

Josh you are a total riot!!! Thank you for making great pedals and having a sense of humor.

I think that this is one of the coolest pedal concepts ever and you guys are some of, if not the most creative pedal makers in the biz. I would love to see your take on an octaver pedal someday. Keep on keeping on!

"I knew I had found success when I could come between fathers and suns". HAHAHAHA! Spit take on that one.

“I wanna make a pedal that makes people make people” said with no tiny bit of smile is just brilliant. See no other option than to join a waiting list

Yes yes we still need a ready-to-use JHS Klon! :D

The biggest trouble for all enthusiasts will be that Josh's new Klon pedal will have ALL NEW PARTS with current high quality manufacturing techniques. If you have an original or older clone of the pedal you are going to be experiencing the bane of electronics which is older capacitors which will no doubt be dryer than a brand new component and this will have some minor impact on the sound. The problem is that without getting in a time machine and bringing a 70's brand new pedal into 2023 and comparing that to the Notaklon, then you would hear no difference except for another interesting fact, grab 2 brand new pedals that are the same and compare them, your going to hear a slight difference and that will not be the circuit it's the fact that not even 2 potentiometers have exactly the same values, one will have slightly more or slightly less resistance to the other. For all intents and purposes it's practicality irrelevant to the circuit but give some pedals slightly more or less gain/volume etc than another. We are talking fractions of a difference here and let's not forget your guitar and amp setup. I've had 2 Yamaha DX7 synthesizers for example and one sounded different to the other just because one was manufactured earlier to the other but overall the sound of either was that classic undeniable FM DX7 sound. Essentially if your getting that picky, buy 10 Notaklons and pick the one that's closest for your ears to satisfy your over the top picky ears and problem solved. Josh I applaud your efforts to bring a nice simple kit to the market which gives enthusiasts a nice easy to build kit to enjoy. If people building the pedal like this themselves reduces cost I'm all for it. The only negative will be the heavy handed guitarist who breaks a circuit board in half etc. Also fellow guitarists, be aware the build construction quality is now in your own hands so you can't go winging about it to anyone but yourself but there is the price for getting a cost reduced bargain kit. So stop your nonsense and just enjoy this wonderful classic pedal with no more excuses not to own and enjoy one. Rock on JHS team!!!

I love the Homestar Runner reference lol, shout out to all the poopsmiths out there

+1 for a Homestar Runner reference!! ❤

Millie and Ethan were incredible. No the kids are not coached. YES KIDS CAN BE WITTY AND FUNNY!!! The fact that Ethan called Josh based is absolutely hilarious.

I loved Homestar Runner! Watched it in college.

Josh I look forward to all of your shows!!! I feel I've learned more about the history, and making of all pedals. I've never heard you say anything bad about anything,or anyone. You a great at what you do because you love it!!! Haters are undereducated, uninspired people.

My wife is going through an adult Lego phase, so now I can buy this for myself and tell her it’s for her. Thanks for helping me win Christmas 2023.

I loved the "Kids were coached" comment... I guess he doesn't comprehend what a script is...

I don't know why anyone would want to build a pedal without the inevitable burns and the delicious aroma of solder.

Making a kit pedal a child can assemble is a brilliant idea! Kudos JHS

This show was fun, watching someone else be the speechless guy going through questions and rude snark was a nice change of pace for me

The "Notaklön" Marketing is pure genius! My honest compliments for this.

HAT*T*ED, Josh! HATTED! The baby human with a hat!

I like the reading of comments. I think if you did it with an editing style, such as something like what Fricker does with background music, zooms ins and outs and funny voices, then that would be super cool👍

I immediately ordered 2. One is for my kid. This is the perfect product at the perfect time for us. They've discovered rock! Instead of buying a DS-1 or something, we're going to build this pedal together and make the guitar that much more personal! Thank you for giving us a project to bond over!

"What is air?" "Andy Warhol is the greatest troll of all time."

1:04 is awesome. Technology, right? Edit to say, I am also going to adopt hatted!

This is why I have so many JHS pedals. Lol you are the man.

Josh, I like your pedals that I’ve used. I like your videos, and your dry humor! You seem like a great guy, I’m glad this took off for you. Continued Success to your company.

the commodore 64 comment made me chuckle - I was a Dragon 32 guy

JHS is great. To any trolls or haters: Start your own pedal company, start your own RU-vid show, gain the respect of industry experts and great musicians and then come back and make your comments. Keep going Josh and team, you guys rock!

The ole curse of the monkeys paw. Was that a Gilligan's Island episode?

Pinnacle of dry humour! You made my day Josh, thanks!

THAT's your slogan: "Our pedals make people make people"

Random, but I need the "Just a Phase" T-Shirt to come back!

JHS need to bring out their own brand of coffee…maybe in a kit that you have grind yourself (or get your kids to do it). Bring coffee back to affordable levels!

I’ve been playing guitar for 40 years or so. I never used pedals until a couple of years ago. Watching JHS vids have really educated me on pedal use. I look forward to getting my NOTAKLON and my AT+. Thank you JHS family. Maybe one day I will be good enough to have my own custom pedal from JHS. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤙🏾

After watching this i have 1 word stick in my mind. Dam! Dam i tought i had bad feedback. Not only you but you guys "Jhs" do a great work. As a guitar player i think we all should be thankfull for everything you guys make. If we dont like it we can always spare our time with something we like,i dont like all the videos you guys made but i dont remember to write a negative comentarie.We can always go watch something else. Its mind blowing the amount of silly negative comentaries you guys had it just shows no matter what you do theres always a legion of stupid ppl giving their opinion. Keep doing what you been doing untill here,you guys are funny and enterteining.

Magic ears, ah magic and lots of magic mushrooms. That’s what I hear. Then again, I’m an acoustic hobbyist and don’t even own an amp and still I enjoy these videos.

I have to take umbridge with one particular comment. The Commodore 64 was amazing back in the day even if it falls short now by today's standards. I used to turn pick your plot books into easy basic programs. It was a lot of typing and in hind sight, voice to text would have been SO helpful in that process. Anyway, the C64 brough affordable computing to my house long before I could have afforded it myself. What's the point? In a similar way to the C64, Notaklön (when mine arrives in February) will bring the Klon circuit to my hands before I would ever spend the crazy money to get an actual Klon in my hands.

Here's what needs to happen. Josh, send one to Bill Finnegan. We need a video of Bill building a Notaklon. Who then sells it to John Mayer for $4000.

To Led Zepplin music: "I got a umlaut of love. Got a umlaut of love."

Josh, I'm sorry. I couldn't finish watching this. I was just too painful. I'm gonna take some dollar store effervescent pain relief now. Plop, plop, fizz, fizz...

How can you do a stream like this with a straight face 😆? I´m laughing my hat off. I´m unhatted🤷🏻‍♂

Any joke worth doing, is worth over doing. --David Letterman. Josh, embrace the Bad Monkey joke(s).

I wish Josh would make pedals more accessible for people who don't know how to snap things together.

I’ve had no experience with a Klon circuit until now and I’ve been Burninating the countryside since I wrenched the last nut. Thanks for the knowhow and the taste

Love @richardclark’s comment. It is very ironic. Sets the tone for a lot of people on social media that seem to know more than the professionals like those at JHS, and to the fact that you intended to build 1000 (or was it 3k?), but end up shipping 9000 more and probably even double that if you’d want to. I still need to order two here in the EU.

After hearing a lot of the disses in the "Josh reads your hate comments" video, when that one comment mentioned the "hatted baby human" I legitimately thought he was referring to Nick- no shade

This made my day, literally laughing out loud 🤣

It's hatted as in wearing a hat.

I just ordered my Richard Clark pedal. Oh wait, they don’t exist.

I'm learning English Language by watching this video. NOTAKLÖN will be the fastest selling guitar pedal in history. ✊🏽

Homestar Runner! Strong Bad explaining how he plays guitar is still the best. Huh--another good name for a pedal: Strong Bad.

Watching this I experienced sadness.. None of the comments read were witty or funny.. The last video about updating everyone on shipping was heartfelt and contained gratitude about a smaller company’s triumph of putting out a brilliant pedal that any human could build. I’m positive without a doubt Josh has built a “culture” of people enthusiastic about music and guitar pedals.. I don’t read the comments every video but have never seen such negative feedback.. There’s always trolls or people that are jealous of success that will try to downplay people’s happiness.. I don’t understand Josh why you chose to make this video.. I love that you guys highlighted your children to assemble the pedals.. I for one was worried if this was something that I would be able to build, but after watching them do it I was sold! JHS is a great company and I love your passion for the history of guitar effects, I feel like you have thicker skin to not respond to these pointless comments in a follow-up video. Is it the marketing or social media team that advised you to make this video? If not she should have advised you not to make it. I’m a supporter of the your pedals and channel, and not a fan of giving the people throwing shade on you a moment in the spotlight..

Ordered a kilt, couldn’t pass up the sweet deal! Thanks guys

to balk at buying notaklon is a personal sacrifice ... that they may live...😇

If I’ve learned anything watching the JHS show, “life is not always roses and Klons. Sometimes it’s boogers at 1st grade nap time.” Had I but learned this earlier, much disappointment could have been avoided.

Josh should record audiobooks and just let his thoughts come out as he's reading

I'm probably going to order a Notaklon next pay-cycle. Why wouldn't anyone want one of these for only $99? Thanks Josh. I appreciate you for doing stuff like this. You're more fun than 99% of all the other pedal makers.

Still holding out for the Notamonkey. That would be 🐸🤴🏻🤢.

It might be more fun to just read the positive comments!

I loved the Commodore 64. "Replacing the fathers of Earth". Very funny. Josh's & Nick's kids are WAY smarter than most of us. It wasn't child labor, the were clearly playing. Because many of us aren't as smart as the kids, assembling this pedal might be labor for us. April 1, 2024 the Notaklon price should be listed as $5000 (or higher) on the website. Hated vs Hatted. All words are made up, so we must allow it. Pedals that encourage copulation. That's the magic sound we all are looking for. I'm getting on the Notaklon waitlist immediately. Rainbow, heart, alien emoji? I'm going with "all inclusive / all love / out of this world" The first Booger-Free pedal guarantee t-shirt should happen please. Lisa Rambeau was in love with you, obviously.

@15:00. Dude! Josh! HaTTed! Two T's! Baby with a hat! Not a baby that's hated, a baby that's HaTTed! I want a Notaklön. Gas has a hold on me. But in Europe shipping kills it for me. Maybe I will anyway, also getting it in March is a bit long. And I have a load of drives already... Please help me out of my misery...

The day you can @ people in RU-vid videos, mannnnnnnnnnn

@ 14:20 --- "hatted"... not "hated"

Domestic Dispute - JHS

The pleasant primate pedal would be unstoppable

Josh, I need you to make a pedal, that when I punch it, brings back all the ambitions and aspirations I had when I was 22!! THANK YOU AND CHEERS!!🍻👍

I'm just glad to be in the low 4000's order number range! lol

F* the assh*le that said that the C64 wasn't a big deal. That computer was my childhood. It was AMAZING. Learned an impossible amount due to its existence. Love you, JHS. Great stuff.

“Hat - head” (haTTed) as opposed to “Hate - ed” baby human. Either Wordz is Hard, or we are getting an inner glimpse into your true psyche 😜😎🤣.

I have to say...the Commodore 64 was good for it's day. Also, I enjoy the JHS RU-vid channel.

i find myself thinking about lil brudder about once a week. homestar runner was so goddamn good.

Hey Josh, and your whole team.. I think you guys are super cool and good people. Love your videos and the Notaklon vid is really good to us. The video was one of my favorites and couldn't wait to show it to my girlfriend. I show her most all the things I like so we can share the experience. "Notaklon" Brilliant, taking a great pedal design to a new level of fun.... 😃

Josh! You shouldn’t even listen to these people who are just trying to drag you down!

do a build-a-muff next please and thank you

You could always make a pedal and name it "Dad Replacer". x)

This is the best use of your creative energy, reading idiots comments about your genius life work. Hahaha 🤣

klons were engineering marvels, but not for me soundwise. the bad monkey was, straight away, my fave OD ever. anyway you have made pedals a kinda basin we all swim in. we all wanna build because of your influence in particular. and then you drop this brilliant kit. it's like an airfix model, a start

Umlaut is good enough for Motorhead so good enough for JHS 😂

14:59 Hey Josh, I think „hatted” mean „with the hat”, not hated :)

I just put in my order for a NOTAKLÖN and I’m soooooo excited. The pedal is exciting of course but what I'm REALLY excited about is the Goop. All my life I’ve dreamed of having my very own Goop. I think you’ve really got something here. You should think of marketing Goop as a separate product. You could open up a vast new market and make Goop a household name, like Coke. You could even make it available in different colors. Even different flavors. You could have regular Goop and Diet Goop or New Goop and Classic Goop. Just think of the possibilities. (Goop Clear?) Goop is the Future! Together, we can change the world, with Goop! Seriously, I think the NOTAKLÖN is a brilliant concept. I love the stuff you do and I wish you all the best.

It's the solder! You need different solder bro!
