switch_cave: Having a son like Nick is enough to make any man’s eyebrows fall out. It’s called PARENTAL STRESS and poor Josh is wearing it on his face.
I really like it when josh does the show. I really like it when nick does the show. I think I just really like the show. Also hot take: JHS is just Josh and a bunch of nick clones.
I used to like Nick. Nick was a cool guy. Then, I realized Nick the drummer is a better guitarist than I am. I don't even play drums. Now, I hate Nick more than Pedalbot 5000 does....
My brother bought a Timeline and it sounds great but I am just intimidated by the thought that I'm not getting enough tone from it. I'd rather just trust that it sounds good than worry about all the perceived loss of tone
One of these days you guys are going to run out of awesome ideas for for videos and you'll be forced to do one about bass pedals. And when that day comes... I'll be there, ready and waiting to watch! So look out buddy boy!
@Toxic Potato I'll have you know I change my strings at least once year whether they need it or not! And I don't know about fingers my tone come from my...well let's just say I have a very big tone.
Yeah, Nick. Nick's a real name. Nick's your buddy. Nick's the kind of guy you can trust, the kind of guy you can drink a beer with, the kind of guy who doesn't mind if you puke in his car, Nick!
I love that they are givin' a spotlight to the Julia Chorus, which is almost a direct competitor to the JHS Emperor. That is so down to earth, love it! And btw, I own the Emperor, it is a KILLER pedal, go and buy it now everyone :)
As much as I love Josh, this is fast becoming my favourite video - more Nick, please! I'm also a massive sucker for great video editing (another big reason why this channel is the greatest).
The level of quality you guys deliver week in week out is astonishing. The jams are insane. The content always entertaining. And having Nick as a backup for Johs is like having Tom Hanks as an understudy for DeNiro.
Tim Chalmers either green screen or just splitting the frame... I’ve got a few videos on my channel doing it myself. You just play along to whichever side you record first and leave the camera in the same spot, then edit them together... if you’re using a lot of mics and wanting a good mix and also doing multiple angles/cuts and takes, it can be a nightmare of a workflow between DAW and video editing tho
Good on you mate, we need to see you more often, I just cleaned my pedalboard yesterday and kept only the simple ones and the one I made, most of the keepers are vintage simple pedal.
Hey Nick, thanks man, brilliant episode. Each of your tunes really suited the pedals being discussed and i really enjoyed all the jams. I’m neither a fuzz nor term guy but your demos were so good i have a new appreciation for those pedals used well.. awesome
Love antisocialies, favorite song has to be either Plimsoil Punks or Hey. Also even though Nick did this episode why does it still scream JOSH!! Great stuff guys!
Love this video, thank you Nick! I used to be a bigger pedal head but the immense amount of features on more complex pedals, plus the jock-ish culture of it all made me a tuner, mini tubescreamer and boss DD-20 kind of person. Starting to get back into pedals (looking at some jhs ones rn, the bonsai sounds so cool!), but more and more I'm finding the less options you have, the more creative you can get. The limitation can be really fun and get you to push your current pedals for more sounds!
I'm surprised about the observation being "jockish", I mean I am not comparing the same kind of cultures and types of players/scenes as you're referring towards because the big pedal nerd scenes are some of rhe nicest, openminded and welcoming to all types of pedals (and I'f Not, then modify it ya dingus:P) May I suggest some channels? More well known are the awesome coffee and riffs channel for Playing, then the same company as that (old blood noise endeavors) also had the best shit to come into a little sub type of yt genre with the channel Knobs coming out in the early to mid 2010s playing pedals indepth and a unique video style that many do now similar that's nice to just listen with no talking but captions to read the info about the pedals and great playing that's not stuck in only metal/90s rock classic rock/commercial grunge and stuff but isn't only shoegaze and dreampop sounds too with math and other genres used to not be bored and always become inspired to play something new after watching any video . The lesser known channels are gonna take me a sec to look up for you. I'll be back, no worries if you're not interested in this tho btw! Was mostly curious, but went off in a excessive directions somehow lol
Here is a few more lesser known channels i like Collector//emitter Sorry one more sec phone wont let me see the other channels without posting my comment or having it be deleted annoyingly.
Bananna effects is really cool also. Sorry it's not easy trying to remember all 20+ or so of the channels I wanna share to check out but my phone is making it impossible :( One channel.is cool from.this guy who handmade makes the pedals for less than 100 bucks or so for really great quality and unique pedals on level with Alexander, strymon, and other expensive but amazing pedals and he demos the In the videos with new ones made like every month, he has a more black metal and dark vibe for most of the pedals and a ton of unique distortion and fuzz mixing stuff that's great and similar to caitlenbreads one cat fuzz pedal I had back in the day but forgot its name,, but anyways I'll stop going on any longer as I have gone further than really wven necessary lol. My bad Btw I don't intend to come off assuming you don't know this stuff possibly already or assume I know more or am better or trying to pull some douch shit so I hope i don't come off arrogant with this. I would love to hear about any channels recommended actually, stuff is just super exciting for me to talk about lol
Home run Nick! As I age, I crave more simplicity. Personally, i want to create & record music, not be a nasa nerd behind a mixer board , getting sucked down a black hole of option-paralysis. "It's not daily increase but daily decrease; Hack away at the inessential." Anyway, thumbs up. Post Script: I was mildly surprised to not see the Remedial Fuzz by J Gore.
Nick, you're not Josh but every day you look a little more like him and well I guess that's a good thing ;) nice job oh, and play more guitar on the channel - you rock!
I super enjoyed this video, great job Nick!! The riffs were fresh and had me jamming! Not sure if it was you or your clone on the guitar but great job on guitar AND drums haha
You two are like the Batman and Robin of guitar pedals. Showing a product and always doing it's justice... Did you get it? Okay, it's enough internet for me, I know.
Good for you, Josh! I hope that my son will take over my business one day, too. My advice: Pay him enough to become something, but not enough to do nothing.
Jon Newquist: Josh is going to be surprised when he finds out Nick has another dad. I think they all need to go on Maury to keep Josh involved in Nick’s life after the DNA and lie detector results come out.
Loving the fact you are using a Tele (I’m a big tele lover) for this episode. It’s a great record from Alvvays. “The ones who love you” is my fav. Track. Cheers 🇲🇽
Very cool episode!! Really liked the music it’s nice to see live musicians vs jam tracks. I’m on the simpler pedal journey now so this info was most timely. Kind of surprised not to see a delay on your board. Thanks for making Friday a bit happier!!
Nick, your best show, yet! Better watch out Josh. Love that you used the simplest guitar to channel the simplest pedals. I bet if you just plugged straight into that cool little 40 watt Milkman and cranked it up to seven and rolled back a little on the guitar volume and tone...you wouldn't need even simple pedals.
@@Scrammy103 the Julia is a great pedal. Out of the 8 chorus pedals I own, it's definitely my favorite one, but out of those it is also the most elaborate.
Don't want Josh to stop doing these himself but I thought Nick did great in this. The Jams and Pedals showcased were also great and informative. Thanks!
Well done Nick! Are all of these really "simple" pedals? What is "simple"? I think simple should mean one effect, one on/off switch, and three knobs or less. Is Chorus/Tremolo one effect or two? I can see the argument that it's one effect across a continuum, but that's pushing for math instead of art; it's two separate effects. The Bonsai? Definitely more than a one effect. And both have more than three knobs, so there's that. Just saying.
