Josh Scott's Klon sucks 

Emily, Russ, you all made these pedals sounds so good. Thank you! Also, please come back. or maybe... maybe we'll come to you...

“The real $500,000 pedal was the friends we made along the way”

This was genuinely touching. So much stuff on RU-vid is just weird, snarky, &/or mean - & this was just nice. A couple of Long Island kids going away to pedal camp. Nice. Happy - except when Emily cries at the end.

Emily violently tripping on the stairs had me dying lol

1. Totally taking the Klon off my Christmas list now. 2. Best Record Time ever. 3. That was a real emotional rollercoaster.

As an emotionless robot of a human, that ending tugged on my heart strings.

Hearing Emily call Josh’s #2 Klon a “piece of shit” is the reason I subscribed. Btw, I play hurdy gurdy and you inspire me to try other effects with it and explore what it’s capable of.

Being in a totally creative, non judgemental environment surrounded by toys, tools and amazing people is something most people NEVER get to experience. So it's understandable to see the emotion of it all when it comes to an end

There is so much wonderful content in your videos that I sometimes forget how freaking good you are on harp. It sounds so lush and you play so well! Keep on rocking, Emily!

I could legit watch a 2 hour long documentary of you guys. You're so lucky to be living a life around your music!

I would never laugh at Emily falling down the stairs, but falling UP the stairs,... yep.

The edge of guitar/harp entertainment... Thanks Nick, JHS Staff, Emily and Rhett Shull.

"what a lame piece of $%&#" I almost spill my tea!!! hhahaha XD, thanks for just being yourself

You crying in the end makes me send you a virtual hug

Those are really lovely-sounding shimmer reverb and harmonic trem pedals! Now we just need that budget bit crusher from JHS!

Emily I think you are the realist, coolest person to ever exist and your sense of humor is adorable. I wish I had a friend like you, I think anyone who knows should be lucky to. Thank you for you.

I'm not a musician or even an audiophile or anything... but I still feel sum jelly when I see you guys come together to make cool music in a room full of cool music stuff. I ain't religious neither, but you were blessed by SOME cosmic being.

You guys are so beautiful in every way. I love it. Also, that Eventide stream was SOOOO GOOOD!!! I can't wait for you guys to explore more of their line, especially Space (has everything Blackhole has and much much more) and maybe Time Factor/Mod Factor. Thank you for being you!!!

The Shimmer reverb is a perfect complement to your harp. Beautiful, thank you!

That was a sweet, enjoyable video. A road trip to meet pedal friends. I would have loved for this to be longer. NB: I love that there is always a “when the cat is away, the mice will play “ vibe to the videos without Josh.

This is why I subscribed. Real people. You two are fun to hang out with on RU-vid and I get great (and financially draining) pedal recommendations. And yeah, you are extremely talented also. If you were playing live near me I would get VIP tickets.

I'm glad that you've found a portable record player that's just as high quality as a $500,000 reverb pedal.

The final reaction to the Klon….. 😂 priceless….. you can’t klone that kind of truth.

This is a wonderful video. It’s peak Em and Russ with a side order of JHS craziness.

my only complaint is i wish this video was longer

You guys always make me smile. Thank you.

I love JHS, so cool to see you guys partnering up. I own most of their budget line. So good to see you collab with them.

Your playing cuts deep into my soul! It’s so emotional. Thanks for always sharing your amazing soul through your amazing music🥲🙏🏽

So good to see your adventures at JHS. Love those new 3 series!

Greetings from Ohio! We have nice stuff, it's all very easy to miss, or hard to find and in some cases we dont have it. JHS looks like such a fun place. I hope this channel brings you more great people and places to visit so we can come along and have fun. Thank you all JHS crew. Love it as always CHEERS!!!

I live in Kansas City and have met the JHS crew many times and they are as funny,kind and nerdy as they seem. On behalf of everyone in KC, we'd love it if you moved here!

"you should try a capo on it" damn that was funny Addison

Emily, go on the TV and order that chair you sit in that climbs the stairs for you. Then you have it and we won't have to see you breaking your bones. It's on late at night and you can get it and hook it up wherever you go.😇 Thanks for including all the hilarious outtakes.

I really love your vids.I play guitar and I'm always looking to your feed for pedal ideas.And your music...don't get me started!!!!Great stuff...thank you!!😊

Another great video. And I have tripped up stairs many times. You were able to do it without a cavalcade of obscenities like I normally make, so good on ya.

I had to watch this a couple times, and I appreciate you feeling open enough to share how you felt. I also want to stay there! But only to be a fly on the wall. Looks like it was the best time.

This is the best combination, the best collaboration. Thanks for doing it and keep it up!!

I never thought in watching a harp channel to see guitar effect pedals. Keep on with the great content, this vlog/documentary/demo video format is really entertaining 😊.

LOVED this episode! I didn't dive into the JHS channel until after I'd discovered you folks, so it's very cool to see those two worlds collide in such an entertaining way - from your perspective. I also may need to ratchet up my "it's gotta be under $50, ideally under $20" threshold for pedal wallet damage, because I really liked both of those JHS pedals and reverb and tremolo are by far my two favorite effects. I have been able to find a few in each category that fit my extreme frugality and sound good to me, but I'd really love to hear what the extra outlay of cash can get me, especially in the reverb category. As for the Klon, I think at this point it's become ridiculous, with many people convinced that because it's become insanely pricey it's gotta be great. I don't hear it. There's so little difference to my ears between the bazillions of distortion pedals... I mean, couldn't an EQ make any one of 'em sound like any other? I dunno... I like a little crunch as much as anyone else, but I'm never going to need what the market seems to care most about, which is a relentless onslaught of these things. Maybe when "classic rock" finally goes away and people my age finally give up on trying to sound like Jimi or Eddie or Yngvie or (insert hair band guitarist name here) we'll see other pedal categories begin to even things out a bit. There's more to guitar playing than imitating Led Zeppelin! There really is! Random recommendation: John Fahey. Huge influence for me, very weird but important acoustic guitarist. Some of the music y'all make reminds me of his stuff a little. Thanks for doing what you do, and sorry for the walls of text!

Emily Hopkins: we only feature the best. 0:45

"We got the rental car...it's packed to shit." Man, I love Long Island.

This was the most fun ever!!! Emily and Russ, can’t wait until you both work at JHS.😉 And I didn’t think anything could skip worse than a disc-man until I saw the portable record player. Can you imagine someone on the bus just setting up a vinyl to spin😂😂

That bit where you explain the different feel to the different arpeggios. Brilliant! more please…

Jeez, Em. You amaze me every time I watch these vids. You're such a phenomenal musician. I just hope to be able to play my guitar even half that good at some point very far in the future lol! 🙏😁🤘

KC is rad! Lived here my whole life lol I’m glad you enjoyed your visit!

Aw it's so nice of Uncle Em to drive you all the way there! It's nice to see you have so much fun 😊 I hope you get to come back soon.

Emily: "I can play this... or this ... or this...?" Everyone: "Yes."

Emily, as usual we'll done! Your music is consistently beautiful and inspiring, I think your use of pedals w your harp is really unique. Also you always highlight aspects of the pedals beyond the guitars reach. I am a folk instrument enthusiast btw 20+ yrs guitar ect.

😭😭😭🥰🥰😭😭😭 what a truly heartwarming video! I also really laughed at the Klon assessment...I mean it was a nice sound on harp, but your reactions were definitely warranted! 😂

Awesome video, Em! Very nice demo of the 3 pedal series and awesome extra content with the JHS guys and your road trip! Also... "We're a highly curated channel here. We only feature the best. *insert fart pedal*"

Harmonic Trem and a variety of versions of octave up Reverb settings are all over both of my albums. The Fender Treverb is my sub £200 pedal of choice.

I’m wondering what Harp would sound like through a Talkbox/Vocoder. I’ve got a Boss VO-1 and it’s a fun bit of kit.

I feel like that expression pedal mouth controller thing would go really well in a hand puppet's mouth

*_ROADTRIP!!!_* It's been forever since I took a roadtrip; like, ten years. Went up to Fairbanks for a statewide LARP get-together.

How cute the end is! Pedal demos, not only in order to sell, just friendly way of life!

Okay I didn't think I was going to get emotional at the end, but I totally did. FRIENDSHIP for the win. EmRuss and JHS collabs are always the best. Could watch hours of this!!

That behind the scenes look at The JHS Show was super fun!

i think its overlooked, but the pieces you decide to play for such specific sounds and tones from all sorts of pedals, are always perfect to really get an idea of what these pedals can do.

funnily enough my fav shimmer reverb was in a Multi-effects - the Line 6 M Series, their particle verb was just like My Devin Townsend Ambient Button Need to use that one more again tbh

Amazing as always! You gotta try running a pitchfork through the octave reverb 😎

Love the collab with JHS. So much good stuff here. Pedal Road Trip FTW

Welcome back to KC! Also that trem sounds awesome. This 3-series is really testing my GAS resistance.

The Klon is a testament to how ridiculously expensive musical gear can get.

Great stuff, and the end was very touching. Someone give Emily a hug!

You guys would like driving outback Australia. The roads are basically following the old property boundaries so it's like: go straight 25km, make a turn, go straight 30km, make a turn... ad infinitum.

Not a music person but your videos always put a smile on my face. Keep it up :)

8:30. I LOVE the blunt response. Last bit sounded nice after the gain and treble were adjusted. Thing is, I don't know that many of us have the ear to hear whatever subtleties this may have.

The alternating notes at 6:19 are just so amazing. Which of your album's has that "like clouds" song? (In that pure form minus the $500,000 klonic distortion hehe).

The title alone is golden! Can't wait to watch it.

That earthquake wear you are sporting is dope! Also another lovely performance

The stuff you're playing at about 6:20 has a very David Wise of Donkey Kong Country fame vibe to it. Which is amazing. Love it.

The best feeling is when Emily says one of her favorite pedals is one you just got and enjoy.

Thanks for posting this vid 💛 It was fantastic

Thanks for another great video. I hope you guys get plenty of opportunities to keep collaborating in the future.

Really wanted to see you try out some of the Lovetone pedals they were handing you. The Meatball is a personal favorite of mine!

Not gonna lie: I actually like how the harp sounds through the Klon. It reminds me of that lead sound Tycho uses a lot, although I doubt that's worth $500,000.

Some thoughts on harmonic tremolo. It cannot be debated that the best examples of harmonic tremolo are the early 1960's Fender "brownface" amps. In my experience there are two types of harmonic tremolo, the trem on the bigger amps are more intense, squishier and can veer into univibe territory if you want. Maybe it's because of the bigger power tubes? The smaller amps like the Princeton I have are a more "normal" type tremolo but with that super special, extra something added to the mix. If there was a pedal that did both of those types pretty much exactly like brown Fenders I'd probably sell my Princeton and get that pedal tomorrow.

I have a bunch of overdrives which I used on my pedal board and I swore I would NEVER pay over $200 for one!! Well, I broke my promise!! I stack overdrives in a way that the cleanest one (Lovepedal's OD11) becomes my boards amp and started using Jetter's Gold which is very cool of what I like for a smooth sounding, creamy OD, but then I spent (and I'm not wealthy!) almost $400 on the King Tone " The Duellist" which has 2 OD's, the "String-Singer" which is Tube Screamer like that you can leave it on and it cleans up like a tube amp, and the "Heavy Hand" which is like a Marshall "Guvnor" (I like to say it with a "Monty Python" accent!! You can go from clean to a Godzilla crunch by blending these channels!! But the one thing I'm missing is a nice reverb which I'm thinking the JHS you suggested for my AC30 hardwired and thanks to my friend Emily (The Queen of Harps!!) I will be checking one out!!!! Thank's Emily!!! I'm not crazy about the Klon

you really are blessed and even better that you know it. I think we should all learn to be bit like you Emily.your joy, lack of pretence and daring fun but also ability to feel an be comfortable with your emotions and to be creative in life is just great, you have basically tapped into the best states of mind on offer!

i like how he just gave up opening the trunk

that Pennsylvania drive is the worst not because it's hard to navigate but because it feels like it will never end.

I kinda had a mind-blown moment when he flipped the switch to down on the octave reverb.

I was so sad for you at the end, I hope you guys get to hang out again soon!

Holy smokes I thought I missed a Series 3 shimmer release, turns out this is one!

lets go shes getting more popular, this is good to see, been here for the memes from the early days

I didn’t think I’d be interested in shimmer reverb at all but this sounds really nice. The 3 Series Hall Reverb is also a wonderful, affordable reverb from JHS.

Man your channel is a goldmine!!!!!!!!

Oh man… That part at the end there genuinely made me tear up. Y’all are awesome. You make videos that are kind-hearted, fun, and inspiring. I’m not crying. You’re crying. 🥲

You need to do a record with Fourtet. Your sound with his musical ideas could be spectacular!

Touching and genuine, as always. Thank you for sharing. P.S: I'm a messy stairway climber as well!

That moment when you find your tribe, your people, who get you at almost every level, coz they are the same...you never really leave them. They own a part of your soul forever and neither distance nor time changes that.

Note to self: do not let emily drive, climb stairs and handle your records and puppets.

Didn't expect to see a harp video today but now I'm suddenly all into the harp.

That was a lot of fun. Brilliant idea for content

Emily falling up the stairs is my favorite thing today lol😂😂😂

I actually have that Shipwreck AD 7" (slime green tentacle thingy) you almost tried on the portable record player. What a coincidence!

just from the intro, I could see you doing a kid's show on tv. Like a music appreciation seasame street kinda thing.

So if you guys pass through STL sometime and feel like jamming with a few weirdos and maybe need a place to crash, we’ve got a spare bed and many instruments. Also, I agree about the klon. Lol

emily your face when the needle wouldn't stay in place and started scratching the record! oh i love this channel and this video was so sweet 🖤🖤

The ending to this video was so adorable and made the whole thing worth it.
