My Guitar With Built-in Pedals! (Built Guitars Revelator)

In this week's episode, Nick and I ask the real questions. The hard questions. The questions no one else wants to ask because, frankly, they couldn't handle the truth even if they heard it. Basically, we want to know: can a pedal be a guitar, and can a guitar be a pedal?

I just don’t get this man and his genius. How can you consistently write cool and interesting jams weekly and also not even take a break after producing a musical.
All this while running a company.
That he built.
Josh, you’re my guitar hero bro.

ATTENTION: Free idea for guitar builders to steal that I always wanted in a guitar: a built-in compressor wired before the volume pot, so you can have compressed leads on a dirty amp then roll back the guitar volume for clean sounds and still have compression. I do it already with a volume pedal, but I'd love it all onboard. Josh, or someone, please make this.

This is the most JHS Pedals I've ever heard in one video from Josh which I think is hilarious.

[slowercrush]

Do you make a skills cartridge? That would really help me 🤷‍♂️

Josh: "We don't want to get flagged." Also Josh: *Plays 0-3-5*

I love that you made your own cartridges. That guitar you made with FX is super cool!!

[TLMuse]

Josh needs to do a video just on his guitar playing and practice regimen, and where his retro playing vibe comes from. He's always been a solid player, but in the last year, his playing has really elevated. Josh, have you been doing some serious woodshedding lately? —Tom

I have a Nobels ODR1 Mini in one of my Strats. I love it! Everyone said i was crazy. Thanks Josh for vindicating me!

[joshmassara]

So the next JHS release should be a loaded Strat pickguard with effects built in. Just sayin.

These feels like an April fools, but I dont think it is. And this is awesome

billy bragg and wilco, mermaid avenue: the epitome of americana.

also, we need a morley episode!

[AMTunLimited]

You should check out CSGuitar's Ultimate Teenager Metal guitar. He embedded a Metal Zone inside of it

[drewburgess]

my friend Jimmy loved Wilco, he would have loved this episode too. RIP amigo, miss you. Look up THEE SIDEWALK SURFERS- that was Jimmy's band.

9:14 Josh: "Is every band from Texas country sort of?"
Pantera: "Yeah"

[jeroen]

Still waiting on that Sovtek episode 😄

First phaser I ever heard was in one of those Electra MPC guitars, when I was about 12. This kid down the street had one, I remember being pretty awestruck when he suddenly hit the switch for the overdrive (he actually said "Overdrive!" when he hit it, a word I'd never heard before), and then he hit the phaser switch and...Mind. Blown. Completely. I'd really never heard a sound like that. Then I met ANOTHER kid in my neighborhood who had one (I guess they were a popular cheap Les Paul copy back then), and I had to have one. I actually didn't know that you could get a pedal for that sound, I thought you had to have that guitar. Somehow I found two of them at this music store another town over - no memory of how I saw them there, I was too young to drive, maybe went with my older brother. Anyway, I begged my dad to get it for me. We actually went to look at it, but my dad was suspicious the guy at the store was trying to rip him off and sell a used guitar as new, so he didn't buy it. I was crushed, but by the time I got my first real guitar a couple of years later I'd learned about actual pedals and wanted a flanger more than a phaser anyway.

Well, effects in guitars used to produce in USSR, they had something like fuzz, tremolo or something in Ural guitars

[JeighNeither]

The fun times keep rolling at JHS. Nice work team! Now do a synth guitar?

Actually knew a guy that worked for SLM back in the day that designed some of the MPC circuits. Short dude named Tony. Showed me a few prototypes. He was very proud of the work he did with the Electra brand.
