Understanding Pedal Order

This week, Nick and Addison take over the JHS Show to explain proper pedal order, and a big part of it is showing what not to do. We're lookin' at you, Nick. Addison also publicly declares that he "likes the flavor of rat." It's slightly less gross in context.

"Tsunami Blues" is the doom metal jam I needed this afternoon.

[jonlohrenz]

Tsunami Blues is un-ironically my favorite jam you guys have ever done. It transcended…something…

[miamha]

"Understanding pedal order"

"Do whatever just put the fuzz first"

[sergiopedro]

I tried to talk myself out of this and I just can't. A reverb first jam with the cable in your mouth is pure genius.

[dylacious]

At first I was like, "Oh cool, it's a Nick episode!" And then I was like, It's a Nick AND Addison episode!!"

[bipbipletucha]

Nick: adorably and lovingly nerding out about pedals
Addison: *yep*

[DegreesSouth]

Today I learned: What Nick sounds like at the start of the chain.
(Solid 6/10. I'm looking for one on reverb now.)

[vscitizen]

Having reverb both at first and at the end is the best thing I've ever done with my board.
The Pedal Zone did a very cool video about it

[Speedgovernor]

one of the best episodes ever! Thank you Josh giving space and opportunities to your employees

[chilidogcowboy]

The first minute of JHS videos is deeply satisfying. Thanks for all the work y’all.

[kaystreubel]

That Jimi Hendrix moment at 15:50 transformed this already great
episode into a total brain melting „Nick and Addison Experience“ 🙀

[BrandonOutside]

That Tsunami Blues jam was pretty badass. I love the Tom Morello-esque move unplugging the cable to make noise. 🤘

[scottallen]

These guys actually have the charisma and humor that all the other content providers try to imitate. Probably because they’re not only content providers. More from Nick and Addison. Even loved the yams.

[model_number_band]

It's official 15:50 is the greatest moment in JHS history.. #sorryNOTsorryJOSH

[thenameless]

Nick is like a small clone of Josh, every now and then I can hear Josh's voice when Nick talks.

[AudibleFist]

Overdrive before distortion sounded more modern and like it could be used in more songs. Distortion before drive felt like a throwback to 80s metal.

[ambient_dreamscapes]

This is easily one of the best JHS show videos I've ever seen. You all killed it and the jams were awesome.

[alangreenway]

“Addison, the biggest, giantest pedal nerd I know.”

I take that as Nick not really knowing Josh deep down inside.

[TheBeriking]

How is it that everyone on this channel is a gifted multi-instrumentalist?
You guys all rock on guitar, bass, drums and I assume at this point probably didgeridoo and theremin.
I know you have families, I know you have jobs... when do y’all find the time?
I barely manage to suck on guitar.
BTW - when do we get the “Do pedals work on jazz pan flute” episode?

[alecpetsche]

This show really makes me want to play more and I’m very grateful it exists.
