This man is the sole reason I spend 75% of my disposable income on guitar pedals.

This really is like yelling "FIRE" in the crowded theater that is Reverb.

[brajkraft]

Mad respect for a pedal brand to be shouting out products from other brands. You guys are just amazing

[ohhhthatsjames]

4 years later, Josh is still a treasure to the music world. We gotta protect this man

[chriszamu]

God i love this channel, no gimmicks or someone trying to shove a product down your throat, this channel at its core is a love for pedals and gear.

"Pedals that used to be $50 that don't suck". There, I fixed that title for ya.

[arthurpiccio]

It's a pun. Edward the Compressor. After Edward the Confessor, one of the last Saxon Kings of England.

[MrHallcore]

$50 pedals that, if you don’t act fast, will become $100 pedals

[dad_moose]

Ive never bought pedals simply because of the cost barrier, but this really is nice to see not just that there ARE pedals under 50, but hearing what they sound like REALLY helps spur that desire to actually get into pedals.

[equaleyez]

My love for this channel has no limits! It's unbelievable nowadays for a brand to promote products of its biggest competitors. But JHS does it and does it good. This shows that it's better to make friends than foes. I would love to get a JHS pedal, even if it were just to promote this stuff! A bit above my budget but if I could, I would pick up a Kodiak without second thoughts! Also, your pedal collection is I-N-S-A-N-E ! Cheers

In the 45 years since I played my first gigs, I've watched the pedal industry explode into a multi-faceted scene, catering for everyone from the multi-millionaire rock star, with more money than sense, to the kid saving their pocket money for their first overdrive. In the 70's, an MXR distortion plus retailed in the UK (from whence mine came), for what was then 2 weeks wages. But today, as your show so amply demonstrates, princes and paupers alike, can revel in the wonderful world of guitar effects. And thanks to people such as yourself, the hideous snobbery that so often spoils the enjoyment for the less financially fortunate, is turned on it's pompous ass, with proof (if it were needed), that great sounds are available, without a great bank account. Thanks again Josh, for keeping it real.
FWIW, I have a $30 (Australian, so probably about US$4.50) boost pedal by Kokko, that never leaves my board. A lot of the pedals in this episode, are a fair bit more expensive in Australia, but still reasonable. And its great to have the Guru of More Good give the nod to these cheaper expression machines.

Amazing how much of an influence Josh has been on the used pedal market. Really goes to show how well regarded he's become since starting this channel.

I had this on in the background and that scream during the Donner Pedal demo scared the shit outta me

[mycripplecreek]

I love that my old Bandmaster head and 2x12 cab is always in the background on these episodes.
I used that thing on a half dozen records over the years. It's incredible.

[joellebrodeur]

The Donner pedal was good. Skull guest is even better. The highlight of the whole damn video right there😂

[CakeHunter]

Great. Now the prices are going to skyrocket on... Etsy?

[brucifer]

I built a cheap board all pedals under $50.00 two of my favorites are the Donner Boost Killer great pedal! And the Monoprice 611605 compressor

"You've got 25$"
...that's where you're wrong pal :/

[TheInfiniteThreeMusic]

That DOD flanger was my first pedal back when I was a tiny tiny dribbling young person! I dug it out recently and used it on a recording for the first time in... a certain amount of years... I always thought it sounded how it looks: shiny and blue.
