It's good to see you come back to this style video.
Same. Haven't really been tuning in much any more, the style of video is What attracted me and many others to this channel initially.
100%
yessss
@@nicholasbstone I agree
As someone who watches the bread board video, perhaps it's time to have two channels - one for this style and one for the kit stuff. The algorithm and all that...
Chris Isaac Wicked Game is my "Reverb" song of choice
so good
Check out HIM’s cover. The only version that sounds as good as the original.
Blue Hotel is fantastic as well
Couldn't agree more! It's one of the best guitar tone and application of reverb ever
@@alexcoronaIt’s great seeing a fellow HIM fan - their version of Wicked Game is… well.. pretty wicked. 🤙
I am so happy that you guys are coming back to this style of video!!! I seriously love this format/educational style. Love you guys, the JHS team is the best!
Yeah to be honest I stopped watching for a while. But this format is perfect.
It still feels a lot more rushed and less researched than their old videos, unfortunately
Heck yea mentioning the twin peaks theme! It’s always the first thing I think of when I think of reverb!
I always think of Twin Peaks when I hear tremolo.
love that show
It's a baritone sample played on an EMU Emulator II if I remember correctly.
That's not even a guitar. And it doesn't have much reverb.
We don't talk about Dick Dale enough. He was one of the most influential guitar players of all time. Not only guitar amp reverb began with him, he was also responsible for the creation of big bad guitar amps, by destroying amp after amp that Leo threw at him, resulting in the development of the Fender Showman, which was named after him. On top of that, he pioneered a number of techniques and sounds with his bonkers left handed upside down guitar playing. Like Hendrix, yes, but Dale didn't restring the guitar, he just turned it upside down like a lunatic. He also made absolutely incredible music for decades, way ahead of his time, and never stopped playing gigs until he died at the age of 81 in 2019. Truly the king of surf guitar.
Dick Dale is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the most important names in electric guitar, and I feel like most people don't even know who he was. Although everyone is familiar with his famous rendition of Misirlou, that came to be known as the Pulp Fiction theme.
I'll say it again: This is why I started watching your channel back in the day. This is why I send my students to your channel to learn about the effects (sure beats having wire up several of mine to give the examples) and come back to me with an idea of what they want to try. Thanks so much. I see the vision for the museum that preserves and teaches about the technology that helps shape our sonic environs.
A classic JHS education video! Seemed like y’all felt a little burned out from doing so many so fast, but glad to see ya still at it!
The MXR Reverb desires more recognition... It's seven years old but still holds up so well!
Twin Peaks theme is so beautiful. It sounds like there's a bit of tremolo too on that baritone.
I like these history of/how it works segments.
I’m shopping for a reverb & this is a major help.
The first reverb unit I ever used was one of those giant Fender spring reverb. My friend's dad had one and a pristine Mustang that I played with when I hung out over there. I kind of learned on that setup before I ever owned my own guitar.
if it wasnt for my strymon reverb pedal, people would know that I can't play guitar.
Fun fact - some of the guitars (maybe just the intro?) on “Sorrow” were reamped using a PA at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena
I just came here to say this
Came here to say this
Now this is my favorite JHS pedals content.
Love this type of educational/ info episodes
Me and the boys love these documentary detail videos. Thank you for your work.
So appreciate these videos. Thank you and please keep them coming. Cheers!
Amazing, really glad to see more of these older style videos coming through. Love it, thank you
Very happy to see this type of video back as many said already. Please do more :)
Thank you! I really miss this kind of content on y’all’s channel. Nobody does pedal history plus the hows and whys, like Josh. Greatness.
This type of content hooked me up on this channel. I enjoy other things you do, but it's awesome to see this stuff back too :)
I have missed this video style from you guys so much. So fun and informative. More of this please
Great episode! When I first started out playing guitar as a teen I hated reverb, but as I got older I realized how great a good reverb is!
Wonderful! Love your delivery. 🌴
Love this format! Please do more of these.
I'm 2 minutes in and am instantly hooked. I am yearning for some simple Discovery/History channel(circa mid 90s early 00s) documentary style content on all the things that make our musical hearts pitter patter. Thank you for this. Have an awesome day!
Love this style of video! Thanks for the learning and the fun. Peace
I love, love, love this style of video. Josh is so knowledgeable about pedals and I subscribed to this channel for the history lessons.
Simply perfect. Thanks Josh!
Fascinating! Love the history tales. More of this, please.
Hey man.. love the vids , the channel , you got great people … in 88 or 90 bought a Quadraverb… not a pedal but sure has some quality reverbs… still using today for recording… always a pleasure , have a great day.✌️
I love how you do the shout-outs. Great vid!
Fantastic episode! Love the episode and the others like it in JHS' history. (Former Patreon subscriber.) I know it's hard month after month, year after year, to come up with interesting content. You guys always come through. I have quite a few reverb pedals. In this episode, a quick mention of endless shimmer reverb would have been nice. I play around with that from time to time.
I love the historian aspects of these videos. I finally understand the why behind the naming conventions of these pedals. You guys are doing an incredible service to the community with these videos
ahhh, the Boss RV-3. One of my faves
Good to have you back.
I'm sure Spring Reverbs will bounce back into popularity
Boing! 🌀
Great breakdown of reverb! Thank you!
I've had the octave reverb on my pedal list for awhile, thanks for assureing me of that decision and thanks for the videos. rock forth,
The Dark Star is AWESOME
This was worth the wait. Good One
Have I EVER not love what you guys do? Yes it is just like my favorite era format... and please do more of them! No we can't have Addison back, but, but, watching Nick jam out was back to my childhood, (1966-1972) classic garage jam era with H.S. Besties!
12:42 of old style joy!
These are my favourite style of JHS vids.
Cheers
Pete
Josh I can't believe you left out the one of the best types of reverb... REVERSE REVERB!!!!
Just watch the video backwards, then there's a full 12-minute segment of them
... and Gated Reverb.
Catching a real 2nd wind of enthusiasm with the return to this video format.
Love this style of vid from you all!
your directors/editors are so bad ass. wish I found you before them. Love the work you do for music and pushing the edge on content creation for musioc.
This is a great history of reverb. I’m digging my EHX Oceans 11, when I need some reverb.
Love this channel, well done and illuminating. I'm hoping for a big surf rock revival
Had to check the name...thought 60 cycle hum was uh trollin'. Would make for a great episode as long as you do some faux jazz and have Nick and Joshua using effects on voices.
Great video, nice to see the return of this video format. I'm a big fan of reverb (and delay). My favourite modern spring reverb unit is the Surfybear Classic. It gets in the zone of the big box Fender units, albeit without the real tubes. Of the digital pedals, I use the UA FX Golden Reverberator / Del-Verb, in stereo, across my Vox AC pair. And plates, the UA is really good too, but in pedals I like Meris Mercury X. And in plugins, Arturia FX Plate-140 is my go to, but I also like Soundtoys Superplate for sound design. For Lexi type reverbs, the UA again, but especially the Meris. In the box, Valhalla VintageVerb. And for the reverb of 'real' spaces, these days I mostly use FabFilter Pro-R II.
big love for Sorrow! A great song from a much dismissed album. Gorgeous verb
10 years ago the return spring on my garage door failed, shot across the garage, bounced off the fuel tank of my motorcycle and fell onto the concrete floor.
I’ve been chasing that sound ever since.
The garage door spring parted on our garage door when I was a kid. It was quite the BOING!
I love this type of content. You are an awesome storyteller and even if i don't care about the subject i will still watch it just because of you.
Another honorable mention is the FS02 from the brand Flamma. You made a video about this brand earlier and i bought it. It's not as expensive as something like a Strymon but it sounds awesome, has all the types you need and the spring one does the drip thing.
Can't get enough of those videos. ❤
Verb has always been my must have effect.
I have the EH hall of fame 2 and a Holy Grail on my board right now.
Thanks for the video
Please keep making more this kind of content!
nice content!! thank you guys!!
Nice video, thanks guys.
This style video is the reason I subscribed
Josh with the Twin Peaks mention! These are two of my favorite things.
My favourite pedal reverb is TC Electronic T2 - a little known special edition pedal that is basically HOF2 but with way more crazy presets. It can really stand up to even much more expensive units.
As for routing tricks, there is somewhat known trick of putting a compressor after the reverb - it creates a "giant instrument" effect where the tails are super long, but they don't overpower the dry signal. Sounds great on solo piano.
I absolutely love decks dark and had no idea how that sound was produced until right now!
I just wanted to add, while not directly related to guitar pedals, the first studio recording use of digital reverb came in 1947 with the record Peg o My Heart by Jerry Murad's Harmonicats. It's a really interesting little bit of history that used a fascinating technology to isolate the reverb effect. Maybe in a future reverb video you can touch on this part of the history as well. Love to see this format of video coming back again!
I always love the content Josh! My favorite spring reverb is probably the reverb section on a universal audio Dream 65. I also like shimmery verb for ambient worship stuff. MXR makes a killer reverb pedal and when it was on my board I almost exclusively use the shimmer section.
Awesome content thanks!
I never used reverb, but then I heard the Earthquaker Devices Afterneath; I love that thing, so much to explore! Great content and video! Alas, despite your warning, I probably will be buying at least one JHS pedal soon, lol
I have your JHS Spring Tank and I love that pedal!!. I also have a Fender Vibroking amp that has an awesome Fender Reverb Tank in it. !!!
Ugh. I have missed this from yall. Honestly just missed yall in general.
Thanks, Josh and Nick. I have a Lee Jackson Mr. Springy that I think is pretty cool.
Recently got a strymon nightsky. Huge tone and made for custom made space reverb sounds! Can’t wait to play more with it❤
I put the 3 Series Reverb on my board and I haven’t turned it off since. Absolutely love that pedal.
Off topic Josh, but I want you to know I think you’re a very creative guitarist. You come up with a lot of Cool stuff… and have a great little band you perform with in your videos. Please tell everyone involved that I think it’s all super well done… and I enjoy your music mucho! 👍🏼✨
i love my rv-3. having that perfect boss reverb with delay included is so nice.
Great innovation ❤
I used to have a 60's ampeg reverberocket. I loved that reverb so much
This is the JHS channel as its best. Love it!
Love the video, JHS team! I will say, I'm surprised the Universal Audio Golden wasn't mentioned for the spring setting. It is fantastic. I've owned several Victoria amps with onboard spring reverb (Fender blackface-style), and I consider them the golden standard for spring. The Golden nails the sound and feel better than anything else I've played. I had a Source Audio Ventris (which contains the same algorithm as their True Spring pedal) and sold it. Never looked back. I will have to check out the Echo Fix pedal - they make great stuff! The Spaceman Orion is also a killer analog spring reverb pedal.
Awesome video! Been waiting on this one for awhile!!
Would love to know your thoughts on the SLÖ by Walrus Audio!
Nicely presented. Greetings from echo park.
Jack Johnson mentioned? 10/10 video Josh!
Yes! Back to classic JHS video!
finally reverb also , this channel help me so fine learning everthing about pedals sound and passion of music art thanks josh but as a belgian i was wondering are you a cycling fan cause we saw you with the e-3 and gent wevelgem shirt haha
After decades of dry signal, I've recently decided I need reverb. This video dropped at just the right time. I just got a Slö but I need a good spring sound, too.
I really love the Holy Grail on the hall setting at the end of my effects loop chain.
ahhhhh, an old school jhs episode, yes please! 🙏🏻
Missed these style of videos! Have to give the Keeley caverns a shout out and also add nothing sounds better than a fender amps reverb, like and old twin or deluxe .
Truly nothing sounds like a Fender Amp’s reverb!
Yes, 100% agree. If aliens landed and wanted to know what reverb was, they would most likely be taken to hear a fender twin,..
A video like this is just what i need on such an idiotic day.
Great episode ❤ No mention of Cusack Resound reverb 😢
Twin Peaks is a masterpiece! Thanx for mentioning!
I like this type of content
Tanks a lot.
I'll give a stamp of approval to the Surfy Bear spring reverb tank. And I would say Dick Dale's "Nitro" is my favorite spring reverb song.
The first production guitar amplifier with onboard reverb was the Ampeg Reverberocket in 1961. It was a 1x12 combo with octal preamp tubes and two 6V6s in the power stage. I have one of the earliest ones and it still gets played almost every day. It's a *peach* of an amplifier.
Great Video. CB CXM 1978 - expensive but nothing like it. Also Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah has a beautiful reverb on it. Now off to check out Dick Dale's back catalogue
Enjoyed the video! 👍 I've been diving into the "spacey" stuff for about a year now, messing with delay, phaze, flange, reverb. Two of my amps have reverb, one doesn't. They're generally alright as they are, but I also have a Series 3 reverb pedal, which has some pretty good versatility to play with.
very nice
I love this series.
I love these vídeos
Great video but I wish you also discussed some of the unorthodox reverbs like gate or reverse. Would love to see Part 2
Strymon Blue Sky never leaves my board
Fave reverb sound Peter Green on John Mayall Bluesbreakers album A Hard Road, The Super-natural and Out Of Reach
Great to see this type of Vid Back
I have all the 3 series reverbs they’re awesome !! Waiting for a spring 3 series
Love it!
