The Largest Guitar Pedal Collection

Roughly 5,000 guitar pedals.... but is it worth it for the tone!?

Other shenanigans we filmed there...
Playing through a $250k rig: (coming soon, and maybe linked here if we remember later...)

My guitar courses are available within the Guitareo membership :)
Also, my beginner course, GuitarQuest, is still available on its own too

My guitar is my signature model with Schecter :)

The channel is supported in part by Sweetwater’s affiliate program. Thanks for that!

Obviously it’s cool to see all these cool/weird instruments to play with, but I also have to commend Rob and the team for making great documentary style content ABOUT them. Like asking the right questions and actually getting a history of the instrument and all this extra research and HOW the instruments work? Super fascinating and I’m glad this is where the channel has gone. Thanks for all the history lessons!!

14:34 “You wana stay here?”
“I wana stay here for the rest of the day!”
“We can” with a big smile on his face. Such a fantastic vid I keep coming back to

My favorite genre of YouTube is videos featuring an expert in something so niche that you wouldn't think there is an expert in it, who can explain everything on the spot as clearly as a class lecture.

This is so great. I'm 70 years old. I had a Maestro Fuzz Tone. After hearing 'Satisfaction' on the radio I had to have that sound. I just started playing and being an only child had it's privileges so my parents bought me one and I annoyed the shit out of them playing it about 8 hours a day though a Fender Vibro-Champ with my Fender Mustang.

My favorite moment:
Rob: literally mentions any pedal
Josh: _Oh these?_ then pops *8 more*

[althejazzman]

Josh is so entertaining to listen to. He has a silly dry sense of humour combined with insane background knowledge.

[chroospen]

props to the editor there seems like much footage to go through and to blend it all together like this is crazy

[kianhaynes]

Honestly Rob you could do another 7 videos with JHS and we'd watch and love all of them

[BourkeTommy]

Love that Josh still plugs in all this old rare stuff! That slap of the DOD preamp to wake it up at 20:03 😂😂

[PzMcQunn]

"I collect vintage batteries"

At that moment I started to question whether I'm witnessing determination, or just straight up autism

[ulfy]

That tape echo is INCREDIBLE I had never seen that before.

[Tremontiarmpit]

That moment at 5:47 where you find your first pedal and have that awesome moment of nostalgia, and Josh is just like “oh look, 8 more!” CRACKS me up to no end. I love this video.

[generico]

I love josh's face in 14:38 he is so proud, he knows he is on the right track and living his live the fullest

The comedic timing of those single notes, and then asking why anyone would choose anything besides max completely broke Josh, me as well 😂.

[ScottMcLain]

that tape delay is ridiculous. it sounds so amazing and natural. thanks for the episode!

[eliasmsv]

Josh is such a cool guy. There is something special about seeing people knowing everything in a niche

[cthallborgtheineffable]

Rob Scallon playing Necrophagist on the Rat prototype is 👌😩

[valuedhumanoid]

Josh is my all time fave in the guitar geek kingdom. He is the King Geek. Watching the blindfolded challenge where he identified pedals on their feel along cemented that position. His sense of humor is killer, his musical ability is solid and the products he makes are legendary. And he has the box!

[ubernate]

18:49 that childhood excitement when you unexpectedly discover a cool sound. That’s what it’s all about folks

[davidcurtis]

Imagine the pedalmobile he could build.
