U2 Style TC 2290 Stereo Delay Sounds - Joshua Ambient Echo - Octave - Reverb - from MXR) 

MXR Joshua Is a multi-tap ambient delay pedal with classic Eighties style processing. Designed to instantly create the sounds of a 1980’s rack with zero effort and in a package smaller than a deck of cards. Easily dial up ethereal tones of David Gilmour, U2 the Edge, Andy Summers (and many others). It’s a Tonal recipe that is delivered in Chef’s choice style. Umami tone… the reverb is always on and changes decay when you change the delay time.

Dude, you are a fucking great rhythm-lead player. It's a travesty that you aren't in a guitar,-bass,-drums,-singer thing, playing arenas. You have a great sense of how to keep the rhythm parts going while still keeping good phrasing on the leads. That's what I try to do as well. I picked it up from one of my top two favorite guitarists, The Edge. That is one of those musician-skills that never gets the credit. And that snare sound is really nice.

I just fired up a joint..PERFECT!!! 😊

These live episodes feel like Christmas Day ❤

ATTENTION! You do NOT have to sacrifice a stereo jack for tap on the Flashback 2. There's a software update that allows you to hold down the footswitch and use it for tap - you sacrifice the mash function but I think it's worth it.

That was my favourite episode you've ever done. It took me back to sounds that are so prominent in my memory as a teenager it was pretty emotional. Never underestimate the power of music 💥

Next stage of Josh's evolution is wet-dry-wet with modulation being wet and in stereo and drive being dry. The wet amps also see drive.

Awesome drum playing! Very tasteful

Finally, my favourite format of this show is back! It’s a pleasure to watch your content guys and the way you are presenting it❤🎉

I was just telling buddies today that I want a Joshua "Every ambient guitar RU-vidr who covered this was slightly excited when they described it, which is basically the ambient guitarist version of shouting in joy"

I have an original Korg rack SDD 3000. The magic of Edge’s biting tone of that era is in the preamp in the front of that rack unit into a Vox AC30 The preamp stays in the signal regardless if the delay is on. I had the unit serviced by the guy who services the Edge’s Korgs about 15 years ago. He told me If you want that tone, you can get an SDD 2000 for a fraction of the cost. They have the same preamp. His picks also contribute to the raspiness.

One of my favorite JHS videos ever. Very informative and inspiring!

Thanks for this. After more than 25 years playing guitar I finally built a stereo board (around my TC Flashback Triple Delay) and love that 2290 goodness. It's never too late to abandon old prejudices and expand sonic horizons!

Nice! I found a Flashback 1 in my dad's guitar case. Never knew why he had it. Now I realize he was playing U2 covers in his band, The Liathróidí(Gaelic for The Balls).

Very nice! Joshua coming in with the one poem per live stream is the perfect measure. Adds something to that one jam without us not expansively hearing the sounds. Great show guys, thanks.

Tight s man that 2nd loop jam was terrific. Almost like A perfect Circle doing blues and funk love it bros.

Love love love episodes like this. Nick on drums feels like home.. 👍🏼🤘🏼

Great cymbal tones!!!! Sounded great gentlemen.

Thank you for such a fun episode! My early 80s lessons in delay came via EVH’s “Cathedral”. It’s the first tune I play for friends who “aren’t into effects”.

thanks for doing this. I got one. its insane. the MXR tremolo is awesome to..

On the topic of why anyone would want their delay trails off, Kings of Leon has a song called Find Me where the instrumental section uses a delay that’s pretty much constantly ramping up, only to be cut off really immediately in a hard stop that allows the guitar player to go back into the main riff without the delay trails bleeding into it. I’d imagine it’s moments like that in songs that make turning trails off a helpful option for some!

18:48 that was one of THE best jams I’ve seen you do. At first I thought, oh we’re going into Post Rock Territory but then came the badass fuzz thing out of left field. Wow.

These guys are just great at this!!!

Wow, that intro was even better than the real thing!

When Josh suggests we listen with headphones on, do it! Whoa…the edge!

Still got my Nova Delay. It's very nice to dial in a precise time or tempo. Tapping in a tempo produces some wild inaccuracies. It looks beautiful.

Loved this episode!! Please do more of this old format! For the fans 😂

I would love a tc electronic plethora x3 show soon!

Love the sound!! Got the headphones on sipping some Pepsi with my sunglasses on and zoning on the couch..

People really sleeping on how awesome MXR and Duncan delay and 'verbs.

And my Notakloen has just arrived! I am now a very happy and proud JHS pedal owner.

This comes at a great time I have been shopping for a U2 type delay(early U2 was the soundtrack of my early twenties) I saw them at the Cow Palace during the Unforgettable Fire Tour. I was recently thinking about paying silly money to buy the pedal version of the Korg SDD3000. This will save me a few dollars and probably a little more practical. Loved this episode!

Hey JHS you guys are great I have learned so much about pedals and where they come from and how to use them and different ways to hook them up God Bless you all for your hard work in producing these videos and Nick you are just a genius of production and sound mixing and making those stingers. I miss Addison but I hope he is doing well and having fun. I am not really an accomplished guitarist or musician but I do have a small studio set up in my back yard in a small 10x12 storage shed. and I love making noises with all my pedals and keyboards and guitars and basses. It is my only vice now that I am an old man of 73 and have quit all my other vices like smoking dope and drinking and smoking cigarettes and experimenting with drugs and alternate lifestyles. Yes I have tired a little bit of everything and have finally come to the conclusion that GOD was right all along nothing in this world satisfies like JESUS! Love you guys keep the vidz coming we all love to see an hear your take on new and old products and the history is fascinating too!

Love the dig

Love that the U2-inspired intro was OLD school U2. ❤

I love the TC nova delay. It looks like my childhood alarm clock and also the delorian Time Machine from back to the future. Is it dated? Yes. Is it beautiful? Also yes.

I was never big on delay, but I needed one years ago and bought the Flashback. Tap Tempo changed my perspective. It's just plain fun. Edit, Josh, the Flashback does more of a Tap Strum, without losing the stereo. It has its own drawbacks.

Wow a TC electronic Nova delay? I love mine. Love the display, just wish it had midi and more presets. But, a very under rated pedal.

Best video ever

When can I get Nick in a pedal? I plug in and play and the banging just happens and is perfect. Come on Josh. It's a big hole in your lineup! :)

After hearing That MXR Delay I just had to buy one. It’s like it has my name all over it..

ND1 is an amazing pedal, unbelievable value for money

Delay? Oooh! I can't wait!

The Flashback 2 pedal does have tap tempo. He mentioned it did not in this vid as a negative. There was a firmware update for it about 4 years ago that added it and most revs out there have it already. In the usb editor app you select either mash or tap function. You will lose the mash function, but I always leave mine set to tap. Just hold down button until light turns green, then tap in your tempo.

"If you're at home, go lay on your lawn with some headphones on...and grab a single origin Miller Lite" 😄

Can't wait to watch this one entirely, but it's 2am and I really need to sleep 🙃 Lots to learn about delay!

The Alter Ego V2 making an appearance! Love that pedal 🙌

18:34 serious shoegazer perfection!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

I cannot believe the change of heart Josh is having re stereo

Adrien Belew is looking for some 80s effects for his tour of king crimson tunes. You guys should help him out

For its size, sound and features, that Joshua pedal is all ya need. If I had that when I was young I’d have been the next u2, which is to say Coldplay lol. I remember hearing Parachutes album and those were the first words on my lips - they’re the next u2. Next album confirmed it. Still nostalgic about Parachutes. Tasty tones, right in the very first song on the album.

Uncle larry sung the praises of the dig and I'm glad that my two favorite people who talk about guitar stuff agree

I would love to see an episode on the plethora X3!!!❤

Damn, Joshua. Adding the spoken word part near the end there was fucking awesome.

Great vid, will look out for the MXR - should turn up here at some point (HK) - I still have fondness for MXRs - when the first Phase 90 and Distortion+ turned up they were great. Love playing with delays - back in the '70s I had a WEM Copycat & Roland Space Echo and loved them - 1/4 inch tape and a razor blade! I use the TCE Alter Ego (for 'analog warbles) and the Flashback Triple Delay and 1/4 note + dotted 8th is terrific! Would like to try the recent Boss / Roland (?) Space Echo Pedal with built in 'overload' recreating the original machine which I used to like pushing a bit. Fun, fun, fun!

Yes to the plethora demo!

Absolutely do the X3 video! Would love to see more ways to use it

‘’Voluminous” is the word you’re looking for Josh.

OWN that dotted eighth jazz note! 😆

I didn't get here from a thumbnail. I got here after a 60 cycle hum video on the crazy tube white whale v2! :)

@JHS i’m wonder about the loop system that y’all use, I might have missed it. It’s really neat to see Josh switch guitar and bass.

Love your JHS show and all the pedals you demo....however...being an old retired guy I can not afford most of the pedals you all demo. I just stick with the cheap Chinese Knock Off's they sound pretty good and for my money and skill they work just fine...thanks for all you do.🎸🎸🎸keep on jamming and rocking out !!!

I have always said this the nova delay is the best .8th delay on the market I have two I love them so much

You are correct. Dig v2 has what you need (midi, tone control). No more beef.

It's definetely great! I have the keeley halo, which does a lot of the same, so i peobably will just stick with that one. But if this was out at the same time, i would consider this one as well.

I see Nick, I hit the like.

Yeah, this is a good one.

Joshua, that spoken word was soo cool!

That is a plethora of delay!

I'm really surprised the Keeley Halo wasn't on the table for this video, it' feels like right up the same alley as a stereo dual echo

The FB2 can do stereo tap. If you update the firmware, you have an option in the TC app to use the footswitch as the tap tempo by holding it down for a second and then tapping. Yes, it’s lame that it loses the external tap function when in stereo and you have to use an app to get around that, but it’s feasible.

Awesome “Phishworthy” ambient jam!

Just got a boss dd8 last week and I told myself know more pedals till Christmas.well I guess that's not going to happen now cheers 😂

I got the Nova Delay when it first was released and it has never left my board since, and it probably never will. It's so damn useful, plus it has 9 programmable presets. And I get to see the exact tempo and settings. It doesn't take 9 volts though.

The TC Flashback Mini has “Strum Tempo.” Hold down the footswitch and strum (or pluck) your tempo. I’ll keep it on my (bass) board for that reason alone.

A plethora x3 has been on my pedalboard for a while. I'd love to see how you use it.

I had a Nova delay. Now I want it back.

Nova delay owner here. It replaced the cheaper nova repeater I had previously. Other than buying the new 2290 pedal I can't see it being replaced on my board.

This is the first demo of this pedal that showed how good it is. Every other demo made it look like a dud. No one else seemed to know what to do with it.

TC nova delay will be sold out everywhere by end of episode and people will be flipping them for way more😂

Why is Joshua Pedal mono in, stereo out. Should be stereo in and out so can be patched into Hx stomp chain.

@JHSPedals Will the "BOX IT LATER" be available one day for public consumption? I saw this on Voldermort's board sandwiched between a klon Centaur and 2 TS10's he was SOB rocking away

I've had issues with stereo pedals (TC El.) hard panned on the mixer where I would have to unpan because I had weird phase cancelation issues, like thinned low output sound coming out of the soundsystem. I thought maybe it was an issue of different L/R cable lengths but probably not. I think it had to do with a small return speaker messing with phase and another time in a bar because of the fact that there were multiple small speakers spread around the bar. I don't know but it has made me less inclined to play stereo live.

With this sound is the dotted 8 in parallel with the quarter? Or is it series? I guess parallel as it would get messy in series.

I knew you could build pedals, but that intro shows you can play? who would of thought!

So do I need two amps or does one go through fx loop and one to the amp ?

The mk II DIG does have MIDI. I'm using it with a Disaster Area Smart Clock.

Yes a video of the plethora please🙏

Does the boss DD20 not do that?

Dig Dig Dig Dig Dig

17:45 is epic!

Uh oh… get ready for the new JHS stereo MORNING GLORY!!!

I just ordered one before the prices go up!

The Edge used a Bond Electraglide on this album . I bought one about a year ago for pretty cheap. Josh if you’re interested in playing it I’d gladly send it to you. To borrow. 😊

I’ve had both the nova delay and nova repeater. I now have the flashback 2. I’ve had the 1. There’s no comparison in terms of clarity between the nova series pedals and the flashback the delay seems to be louder as well.

If you already have a flashback x4, is there any case for the nova delay in addition?

Mad Billy Duffy vibes in the intro

“An exorbitant amount of delay”

I’m still rocking the Line 6 EchoPark. The ping pong somehow works in mono.

I keep trying new delays and I just keep coming back to my Nova Delay. I keep wanting to take it off my board because it doesn’t have an external tap, but I just can’t. Gonna add in an external tap I think.
