    That might as well be remembered as the Schrödinger's Pedal. A thought experiment where the content of the box is both a Small Stone or a Small Clone at the same time. This is quantum pedaling, my friends. Quantum Pedaling.

    I have one of the first three Catalinbread Super Chile Picoso pedals ever made back when he was hand painting them. Our dearly departed Nick Harris was a very close friend of mine (was even the best man at my wedding!) and I helped him build most all of his his early stuff when he was still in Seattle before he moved his shop to Portland. We we're kicking around pedal name ideas over some beers and I said 'super Chile picoso' and he was like THAT'S IT!' HMU if you wanna see a pic of it inside and out. I even still have the cute little personal note he wrote and folded up and stuck inside the pedal for me to discover later when it was time for a battery change. RIP old friend.

    • @Andy_Yates
      @Andy_Yates Před 5 lety +5

      I never hear anyone mention the old Catalinbread Picoso boosts! I have an old Sagrado Pablano Picoso Stout Boost that I bought new back in the early 2000s, and more recently I picked a slightly newer Serrano Picoso boost. The stout boost is the older rectangle layout but doesn't appear to be hand painted. I remember walking into the shop in San Jose and asking for something that would help my clean tone in whatever amp I had back then. I didn't a thing about pedals then but it did exactly what they said it would. They're both amazing when you want just a bit 'more'.

    The sound of that Small Stone is very mysterious and I love it. The rarest guitar pedal I own is a boost I'm prototyping on a breadboard. It's the only copy ever made, and it is the only boost in the market that also doubles as an AM radio.

    My rarest pedal would have to be one that I built. I was obsessed with Devi Ever pedals at the time and bought a couple of kits from her (just boards and components). I put together a pedal that, with switches of the toggles, turns from a Ruby to a Houndstooth to a 90 and a 4th combination that she didn't make. I also put in a tone knob and linked it via toggle to two different caps...one is fairly subtle and almost useless (and is, therefore, my favorite), but the other one allows you to dial the tone down pretty dark to get the tone of the Dark Ruby, which she accidentally made for a short period of time. It is like having at least 5 Devi pedals in one box. It has some quirks (why doesn't the LED ever cut off? What did I do???), but it sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing your obsession with us, Josh!

    Transitional record: "You Made Me Realise" EP by My Bloody Valentine. They really became MBV with that one. In that recent Fender video series on the 60th Anniversary of the Jazzmaster, Kevin Shields said he basically came up with his signature gliding, wavy sound in an afternoon while working on "Thorn" and "Slow" from that EP. I know it's all about "Loveless" but "You Made Me Realise" is amazing, too.
    Great video, Josh!

    I’ve only recently discovered your channel, but I’ve been into all things music my entire life. I want to thank you for your constant praise of other pedal makers and musicians. It’s so sadly rare these days for creators to not feel the need for superiority- and that makes you a VERY RARE pedal(maker). Your knowledge of the history, your anecdotes, your humor make each episode refreshing. The way you speak so glowingly about the people who essentially are your “competition” speaks volumes about how good yours babies must be! Keep up the great work and the positive media... the world needs more discussions about creatives!

    My oldest brother had two pedals in the late '60s that I remember. The first was a Schaller wah pedal that had a toggle for two tone settings, they were labelled "bow-wow" and "yoy-yoy". Bow-wow was a pretty standard sounding wah sweep, yoy-yoy had some crazy resonance peak. I was quite young but I can remember the sounds quite distinctly. I also remember the box (my brother was kind of fussy and always put it back in the box when he wasn't using it) had a photo of a Basset Hound on it. The other pedal was a fuzz pedal of some kind. I believe it was a Vox, it was shaped like a mid-late 60s Tone Bender just like yours, had the chicken head knobs, same rough textured metal, but the case was red. I've never seen a photo of red one . I can remember he got a pretty convincing Clapton-Cream SWLABR tone. Anyway, I'm sure they're both long gone, he had a lot of drug problems over the years, but I know he still had them in the early 90's. I saw them at my parents house where he'd been living after a divorce (and they were still in the boxes). I don't know how rare they are, apparently the Schaller is a collectible.

    Nirvana unplugged. Not so different for many bands, but no one saw a great set happening that day apart from the band themselves. Even the MTV unplugged crew were expecting a diaster. The band start playing and deliver one of the most iconic unplugged sets of the series. As a fan at the time the band's ability to switch from balls to the wall grunge to melodic and subtle acoustic songs was pretty mind blowing.

      Nirvana Unplugged set the standard for unplugged shows, a songwriter not afraid to shine the spotlight on other songwriters that have inspired him, great performances by everyone and a nice general vibe of friends playing together. Having that show made losing Cobain, although still a terrible tragedy, a bit easier.

    • @brandontighe4040
      @brandontighe4040 Před 5 lety +4

      @KC Okay, you clearly want to do this so here we go. It's always easier to make stupid accusations then to debunk them, so this will take time, but it's easy, and your first one was such a bad one it doesn't take long at all. Let's look at your 3rd of 4 claims. You state unequivocally, "They (meaning the church I imagine) covered up matters." You don't state alleged, or maybe, or that there MIGHT be a case for it - you just simply say they do, and you point to a Rolling Stone article (www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/love-and-death-in-the-house-of-prayer-53866/). Now, do you know what irrational bias is? Irrational bias is what you appear to have - someone who is not only biased but so biased that they don't care WHAT the facts say. Why do I make this conclusion? Because while Rolling Stone did originally indicate, in that article that a murder (not murders - more illogical and irresponsible hyperbole) may have occurred, they then printed a complete and 100% retraction that all of the evidence indicated it was actually a suicide rendering the entire thesis of the article false. What's funny is that I did a quick Google search on this argument you are making today and noticed that these same two articles (Slate and Rolling Stone) seems to be all anyone ever says - and you spit it out almost verbatim. Considering you completely missed this point indicates only two things I can think of: 1. You never actually read the Rolling Stone article in its entirely showing that you have no real depth of intellectual honesty in this fight of yours OR 2. You WERE aware of it and pushed it anyway which puts you and your false moral outrage in true perspective. I really hope this last one isn't it.

    The Cure’s “Head On the Door” feels like a transition between their earlier, simplistic “post punk” sound you hear on Seventeen Seconds and Pornography and the more layered, rich, romantic material you hear from Kiss Me... to Wish. I feel like it belongs to neither era, yet somehow both. Adore this record.

      Jonas Tarver it’s tough to dissect with “the cure” for me, because they’ve transformed their sound/style a lot. As for the “head on the door”, I think if you listen to “the top” you can hear the transition to it.

    I have in my collection a Roland GR300 with the G303 Roland guitar. It is a great analog synth and also a very unique hex fuzz distortion sound.
    Thanks a lot for the videos and also the channel Joshl!! :-)

    I have one of the rats with the tone knob instead of filter knob. Picked it up in a pawn shop in the early 90's. Didn't know the tone version was different till much later I also have a ColorSound overdriver and a Rosac nu wa-fuzz all picked up at pawn shops

    Love your videos! My olde and odd pedal is my Maestro Volume-Wah. First pedal I ever bought (in 1974--with my babysitting money, haha). I still use it in my rig; admittedly it needed a bit of work at one point, but the thing is a beast and sounds fab.

    I have a “Boba Fuzz” Woolly Mammoth clone made by DopeFx in the UK. “Hand wired on the dark side” it says on the box. Awesome fuzz.
    “Flow Motion” by CAN is an awesome transition album; a move from the beach to the pool. Also “Shiny Beast” by Captain Beefheart.

    Cool pedals! I got a kick out of the fonts on that Red Army pedal. They're so Western! LOL!
    I own an Effectrode Helios--that's my "rare" pedal, and also the first boutique pedal, as well as the first TUBE pedal, and the first and only fuzz/tube pedal combo, that I ever bought. IDK if it qualifies as historic, and making a pedal rare is as easy as making only a few; but that's what I have. If an all-tube fuzz ever existed, I'd like to know about it.
    For records, I'm going with Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation. To me, this is the record that took them from their more clattering (in a good way) 80s period, past the references to pop music, and into riffage territory. It's also the only album they really played that way on. The record was a HUGE influence on Nirvana, Beck, My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, most of the grunge people (especially SY's former label mates from SST Records)...the list goes on. It's a dissonant, rough, mind-bending assault, yet also strangely palatable. It changed my thinking about what music could be and drove me to try new things. I would say that from this point, Sonic Youth began a gradual decline. Goo was good but not AS good, and certainly not mixed as well, as Daydream Nation. Starting with and including about half or more of Dirty, they quit being as sonically adventurous, probably due to record label crap, and I pretty much decided to stick to their older stuff.
    For an alternative choice, I'd go with something like Hologram of Baal, by The Church. They were on an artistic and business decline, and nearly came to an end. As a fan, I had abandoned hope. Then, I found a deluxe copy (with Bastard Universe included) for $3 at a used record store. This record was the first to feature Tim on drums, and if you ask me, Tim's production helped rejuvenate the band in a significant way, even if Tim disagrees. It also featured the "official return" of Peter, one of the founding members of the band. Peter brought with him a Pog and was doing spacey, shimmery ambient/dream-pop stuff on this record, letting Marty play more of the up-front guitar parts; this injected a fresh and complementary dimension to the music and lyrics. Needless to say, as a fanboy, I was excited by their return, and they haven't put out another bad album since then (with possible exception of last year's Man, Woman, Life, Death, Infinity, which didn't suck but wasn't particularly remarkable to me).
    Rock on!

    I have a ProCo Rat with the TONE knob in the middle. I have had this pedal since 79/80 .I also have a ChandlerTUBEDRIVER, the rack mount version. Yes I know it's supposed to be Butler but this was when Butler was with Chandler. I also have an early Dyna Comp and Noise Gate / Line Driver by MXR. I got all of these when I first started playing guitars in the late 70's early 80's.

    I subscribe to engineering channels and channels about AI and physics, philosophy, etc, and this might be the nerdiest video I’ve ever seen. :P
    The transition of Dillinger Escape Plan from having Mike Patton on that EP and then releasing Miss Machine (with a new singer) is incredible. A lot of OG fanboys disagree with me for sure, but I think Miss Machine is their best album IMO.
    I have a pedal that was hand made for a friend of mine that passed and I have absolutely no idea what it is. I just know it’s some kind of boost/drive and it sounds killer and I will never let it go.

    My favorite pedal from the show today is the Tone Bender Mk 1.5. That has to be my favorite fuzz sound. The Phase 45 was probably a close second. Thanks for reminding me how much I need one. I swear this show makes me spend more money than any youtube ad could hope to get from me. As for my rarest pedal, it's definitely my Analogman King of Tone. They aren't too hard to get, but if you aren't willing to wait on a year+ long waiting list for one be prepared to spend double what they go for new.

Klon is def my rarest, but I also have a 1982 Boss CE-2 from the original owner (a friend). There's a couple 80's DOD pedals in my Parent's attic. I also have a small collection of EM-Drives including a prototype made on my birthday and one of the 1st 50 Mitch made (I actually sold it and several years later found it online and bought it back). Last, a couple not rare YET: a brand new JHS Pink Panther (to remain in it's box for years to come and a mint condish Bondi Del Mar.

    I love to come home from work on Thursday - get my coffee and watch the JHS video. But today I get the video - and now I get to plug in and try out my brand new Emperor V2 pedal! Hell yeah, what a great day. The maybe not so rare, but still super sweet pedal I have - lost in my house for the last three years - is a mid 80's Rat my older brother gave me years ago. I still remember exactly how it sounds - coming through his little - but loud as hell - Gallien Krueger amp - rocking a custom painted Kramer Baretta. I think it'll sound better with my Tele and Fender amp, but who knows. I honestly liked the Super Bolt. It might be moving to the top of my desired pedals list. With the inclusion of the Emperor, JHS now dominates my board. And the purple really ties the scheme together.

    Bands that have always changed - Underoath. They had line-up changes for every album and just went with it. They highlighted the best of who they had and it gave them a ton of range. Also, great hardcore/metal tones - dynamic and aggressive, riffs all across the neck, plus some analog synth (depending on the album).

    Favorite transitional album is definitely Title Fight's "Floral Green." It's the perfect transition from their amazing punk album "Shed" to their full blown clean, modulated, reverb sound on "Hyperview." Really cool to see them move through the thought process and "Floral Green" captures that perfectly.
