The fact that josh has his own pedal company that sells all around the world and still makes videos about other companies and budget pedals shows how much he cares about music and musicians. He wants people to make great music, not just sell.

Hey Josh. I do the amp repairs for Joyo in Australia (that's Artist Guitar's for your Aussie fans). I was a brand snob my whole life, but Joyo converted me. The tube gear and pedals have world class tone. I love your JHS gear, and 2 have a permanent spot on my board. But what I love even more about you is your generosity of spirit.

I love how Josh legit runs a whole pedal company but still puts videos out on ther pedals like these for example, they aren't his but he respects them and believes that people looking for a good budget friendly pedal should give them a shot. This is what I love about the pedal community including the builders, everyone is united

[watkinscopicat]

kinda surprised there’s no Joyo Division pedal

[elzafir]

I love this guy. He's selling pedals, good ones at that, but still he reviews cheap pedals for frugal guitarist with unbiased opinions. I mean, if there's anybody we should listened to about pedals, is a CEO of a pedal company. The world needs more guys like him

[JoyoPedals]

No way, that's the CAB BOX all the time? You really got me Josh.

"If it sounds good, it is good" You should put that on a shirt

[dalerieger]

This is the sort of open-minded video Josh is famous for creating. A video like this prompted me to buy a JHS pedal that I didn't need ( though it's great). Someone this decent deserves support. Thanks, Josh. The world would benefit from more folks like you

Josh: [Hangs out with Paul Gilbert once]
***every subsequent video***

When I can afford it, I will absolutely buy a JHS pedal. Probably the PG-14. I love Josh’s support of other pedal companies. I’m a big fan of affordable pedals like Joyo, Caline and Donner. And because Josh supports affordable pedal companies like Joyo and Behringer, I would totally save $200 to buy a JHS. Thank you for your great videos, Mr. Scott.

I like this guy for what he does. That's what happen when an unbiased scientist gets into the business. He expands the entire pedal industry instead of playing on people's egos, political biases, stereotypes and simple stupidity for short-term gain.

[Briansgate]

God Bless you, Josh. We are all in rough times right now, the pedal companies are right along with us, and here you are promoting Joyo, and telling us to watch other people's videos. Thank you, Sir.

T-minus 5 minutes till reverb jacks the prices

Thanks Josh.

[paulojcduarte]

Man, like most probably wrote before me, someone who's in a business of selling something and takes the time to make a video about another brand selling the same type of goods and praises them like this deserves the upmost respect and credibility, and to have a full and meaningful life with all the best. Kudos, your videos rock and so do you. Cheers

[Sdsx]

Joyo's have been pretty good to me so far. The atmosphere reverb and Aquarius delay combined together is like shoe-gaze heaven.

[alexcarvalho]

When a boutique pedal builder that currently builds some of the best pedals in the world says your budget pedals are good, you know you are doing it right

[marcusmeyer]

I feel deceived. Never been so betrayed. Making me think I was listening to a tube amp. Now I can’t say how the IR sucks. Shame on you.

[ezzong]

Wished Josh included Joyo amp character series in this. I had the American Sound for years, running it straight through my interface and i got a Fender amp to record for less than $40. Loved it so much.

[musicman]

Bou-cheap should be a word to describe cheap but high quality pedals

[markharwood]

The Atmosphere is a box of wonders. With my 12-string guitar I've had endless fun without even exploring all it can do. Right now it's on my MEL9 to tweak those Mellotron sounds. It's a keeper.
Update: these days the MEL9 goes through a Hall of Fame 2 and the Atmosphere serves the guitar. Still finding fascinating and useable sounds. Looks like an excellent brand.
