Thousand Dollar Pedals

In this week's episode, Josh and Nick weren't ready to tackle the big question-- "Are $1000 pedals actually worth the money?" --on their own, so they brought in a panel of judges to help them decide. That may have been a mistake. These highly qualified (read: highly obsessive) judges will decide whether or not these $1000 pedals are worth the price. Ultimately, though, you're the judge.

“Why go cheap and be a creep when you can spend money and sound like honey” honestly my favorite biblical passage bless you all

[markprice]

"I not only want to sound good, I want to feel superior in every way." Classic. So good!

[maxolydian]

“I really care about my tone so I’m going gold tip cables straight into my Dumble” that killed me too funny

[faunaflage]

WOW! I never wanted a Klon until now! DIdn't know it could work as a clean boost - I just went and bought two! Thanks JHS!

[NikeaTiber]

"I can make a clean boost in like 10 seconds with a single transistor."

Oh hell yeah.
After I had built a fuzz face and a rangemaster in high school I hacked together a clean boost with a mosfet, a couple of resistors, a 9 volt battery connector and a piece of perfboard about the size of a US penny that I found while cleaning out the physics lab at school. This all hid neatly in my strat and was my "secret sauce" for a few years. The gain was controlled via the guitars volume knob and the battery was only connected if the guitar was plugged in. I was pretty proud of myself at the time, and looking over what I just wrote I guess I still am.

Highlights of this episode:
1. Hearing Josh’s pronunciation of “Thames”
2. Seeing the Chase Bliss Preamp sliders magically move
Worth every second of my time for these two events. Thanks Josh!

[gameoftones]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring the panel back for more videos!!! I love nerding out AND laughing with you all!

[iDog-kvnc]

Sometimes I’ll put the JHS Show on the TV to relax before taking a nap… and “He Has the Box” never fails to wake me from a dead sleep every time

[Jaspertine]

I love that JHS employees not knowing the price of a cup of coffee is just canon now.

[charlesrense]

Oh my God, I love how you had two regular dudes, and then that ridiculous character "Addison" in the middle! And what a crazy costume too! I don't know where you come up with this stuff.

[Seriouslycantplayguitar]

Addison: "are you sure you can get a double-wide for 6, 000?", Josh: " Have you seen where I grew up?" LOL

[gitarmats]

"This is America, not Mars."

I recently found this channel… I’m 62 years old I’ve been playing guitar since I was eight… I am addicted to this JHS… They bring so much information and joy, thank you guys... The Chase Bliss was amazing...Take care everyone

[Soulsilver]

Dude, Nick was on fire in this episode! Genuinely, a hysterical character and performance. LOVED IT.

[echoinstereo]

"Line-666" is the funniest thing I've heard all year

[michaelanzelino]

This episode is to die for. Classic Josh and the crew at their very best. And of course, the content is excellent. Better then watching cable Television.

[awkwardcrowwithapartyhat]

"Wampler used to make good stuff when he made it at home."
I am literally in tears Lmaoo

[simonmarcotte]

Josh playing the Klon as a clean boost is pure entertainment 😂

[BlueishBb]

"Why buy cheap and be a creep, when you can spend money and sound like honey?" Best quote ever!
