But a somber, slowed down version, pitch modulated an octave down. That would have been amazing. Then Josh could make a funeral sound pedal next week. You know just for the reverb scalpers.
This is great!!! It does sound broken, but here’s the thing: when I was still a very young rock lovin’ guitar playing wannabe, my sister taped AC/DC’s album ‘Let There Be Rock’ on a cassette for me to enjoy. Now, everyone knows the sound of AC/DC in those early days. But the way she recorded it was not what it could have been. She just put the album on her cheap record player with cheap little speakers, turned up the volume a little too loud, and then placed a portable cassette recorder with a tiny built in microphone in front of the speakers. And that’s the sound I got used to and even today, approximately 45 years later, this is still the sound I love and the sound I’ve been trying to emulate in all these years. Needless to say I love this pedal! ❤
Josh makes 500 broken pedals and sells out in 84 minutes. Gotta love it. Josh, for your next amazing feat, please make a pedal that only makes static and 60hz hum with tone and presence knobs. List it at $350 and be sure to label it "Limited Edition" as well. The flippers will go nuts for it.
@@MrScrofulous oh god, now you’ve given the effect a Name!!!! Josh! We need this now!!! The Limited Edition Hellmouth!!! And I have the TM on the triple exclamation point.
Also if you can’t find either, or just want another great supro style drive the bjfe/one control honey bee is brilliant. That’s what I use for a supro sound. Wouldn’t mind getting the supro amulet or black magik at some point or their 64 super which is similar to a fender champ.
I'm gonna play my Superbolt V2 tonight as a tribute, for this was the first JHS pedal I bought, second hand. Previous owner colored the bolt red with a sharpie. Each time I see a superbolt, I feel like something is missing. Mine is unique and I will keep it and play it, for its value goes beyond money. Sincere condolences to Josh and the JHS family 🥀
I could throw one together in.... maybe 45 mins? Simple circuit. To make it sputter, just use trims on the fets and adjust till it sputters, or whatever you prefer. Not selling one, just saying- it's fairly easy to build.
I managed to keep from crying until about halfway through the dirge. Once the old clips from about nine minutes prior played. I felt the grief swelling up from deep inside my heart and the dam that was holding back my emotions burst wide open when I was reminded of the Lactose People. 🙏 Thunderbolt.
Man I love this company! Openly killing off fantastic products while launching a limited release. Making double demand for their brand! Wow. I’m taking notes!
@@ValWillKay Did you read my comment? I’m taking notes man! Also it doesn’t matter why they did it, they’ve still created double demand for their products! They sold out of the taco in like an hour flat. They made $125,000 in a freaking hour! Also also, they CAN get the parts, parts don’t just disappear, this is all intentional. You should be taking notes to man.
@@Push_Start_Nova how do you know they can get parts? Specific parts are often discontinued by the manufacturer so they can focus on making newer, in demand parts. This is not a stretch of the imagination. Also, if something is selling well, why discontinue it? JHS doesn't get any money from people reselling their products. Set aside your bias and use some logic.
Also, the extra demand due to obsolete parts. Technically, that is true. The J201 and 2N5457 transistors are obsolete because through-hole packages aren't popular. The surface mount versions of the identical parts are still made, and readily available. This video is marketing genius! False scarcity. Next up: will there be a TacoBolt-2 using surface mount technology?

“Before we fix this, just listen for a second. Is this kinda cool? Is this inspiring?” Is almost as great as “it doesn’t sound good” 😂 JHS keep doing what you do ❤
Gumby Enthusiast Mason Stoops; I went to a seminar with Art Clokey at University of Buffalo. Gumby, Pokey and gang were always in a band and would have loved the tacobolt.
I’ve got a Peavey Red Stripe Rage that almost certainly is a little busted - but like this, busted in a way that works Perfectly. Mixed with a non-busted Rage, the sound is just HUGE
