That dork from JHS is easily impressed, maybe thats why...

[Blackened Soul]

Well.. Fulltone surprised people... and fulltone is much more of a nitch as their stuff is $$$ and "seen" as indie... Where JHS already had that creepy-alright-hipster thing going... and that appeals to P&W dudes so therefore keeps P&W dudes buying boss, and with "normal" gigs for most musicians in decline while P&W gigs on a rise for the last 20+ years that doesn't really hurt boss/main stream distributors by affiliating..

I mean, you don’t have to be from the USA to be anti-hate. The TLDR of that thread is the JHS guy is a well known supporter of violent hate groups and he really only makes boring, unoriginal clones.

I’ve never followed his antics after finding that stuff out. The only thing he seems to be good at is networking and marketing.

I've read the threads about his affiliations and his responses denying it. I would think in our current "cancel culture" that this would have been enough for BOSS not to work with him or have his popularity wane but could it be just vicious rumors? The guy has "leveled up" his company multiple times since this all started and yet when the dude from fulltone did his social media BS folks were unloading his shit left & right and distributors dropped him. I don't see any of this happening with JHS.

...his pedals are so mundane and offers nothing new and are just recreations of his nerdgasms and then charges waaaaay too much for what you're getting, which is a fairly basic effect. The muffeleta is cool, reminds of the pedal that did all the tube screamers in history into a singular pedal and you can choose with a switch only for muffs (forgot who did that pedal), the neve preamp is cool, but are you honestly trying to charge people a ridiculous amount of money for modified Boss pedals and whatever of the past when you can get them for half the price? Reminds of some supplement companies taking advantage of the lack of knowledge of masses, and then charge massive premiums on very basic ingredients that you can get like for 4x less thee price. See, this is why socialism > capitalism, cos ones for the greater good, ones to take advantage of you as much as possible and make you feel like shit about yourself and insecure so drown your sorrows in materialism, doing whatever desperate thing you can to improve yourself, not to mention the general mental health of society this causes when people don't like themselves, its harder to have empathy for others and not be so self absorbed which then perpetuates feelings of alienation and isolation.

Anyway, what was I talking about?

So after reading both threads (this and the red panda) I have to ask if you would be so kind as to post a pic of your board? I'm curious as to what you're using.

The only pedals on my board rn are Hologram Dream Sequence, DOD Punkifier (yes an original), Earthquaker Tone Reaper (for my tone bender neediness), Boss FB-2 (honestly, one of the most underrated pedals of all time), Catalinbread Antichthon (fucking amazing pedal, just as innovative and fun crazy fuzz as the Fuzz Factory, but none of the cult following), Boss CE-5 (I dunno if I wanna sell this when I get my Waza Dimension C or keep both?), Zvex Sonar, TC Electronic Hypergravity (just always want a compressor at the end of my chain like you would in a DAW, doesn't mean I always have it on but when recording, just like to put it on and see what I can do with the compressed signal. But that Beccos company seem to do reeeeally good compressors, might get one of those), Boss DD-8, Boss DD-5 (I prolly won't put this on my board, but just to have if a friend comes along and he can grab it), Mattoverse Hi-Lo Boost (good boost with seperatee controls for bass and treble)....and I think that's it. I've got Red Panda Particle 2, Context 2 and Tensor in the mail, bought in this black friday week, only have played them in store before. Back to making music and hopefully playing live after lockdown. Literally havent recorded anything by myself in like 2 years. What a waste of life. Finally gonna get a Universal Audio Apollo as well for the huge dynamic range. Ruined some amazing songs from shitty recording material in the past.

Selling a buuuuunch of stuff, just pedals I bought on a whim not thinking and realising this is not for me and/or the pedal is absolutely shit.

My pedal wishlist is huge also. Want a Bananana Tararira but waiting for the new version to come out, Keeley Loomer so I can have a fuzz at the end of my chain and so I can have the tremolo arm sound with having to use a tremolo arm, a Montreal Assembly Count to Five, Hologram Microcosm, Pladask Elektrisk Draume after seeing the demos and I guess maybe a Fabrikat as well, theres a really good company called Champion Leccy and they have two interesting pedals, one an effects loop with a little twist and a tremolo/reverb combo with a little twist. I reeeeeally want an Electronic Audio Experiments Sending, not an multi option preset filled delay but beautiful analogue delay with honestly, one of the best preamps I've ever heard and an effects loop but its OOP, so have to get it second hand. I guess a Dwarfcraft Grazer, a Malekko Goatkeeper and Earthquaker Hummingbird cos I feel I have to cos Im a tremolo dork. Still want a bunch of other dirt pedals, just can't fucking help it. Still need to get a Proco Rat 2, Small Sound / Big Sound Fuck Overdrive, Devi Ever Soda Meiser, Adventure Audio Dream Reaper, Zvex Fuzz Factory 7, Yellowstone FX fauna, theres a pedal Quetiapine by a company called Pierrot, and I'm buying it just for the name and the design but the description sounds promising; a distortion with modulation and pitch shifting. Also a percolator type pedal, I'm looking at the Electrofoods Pig Pile, especially cos of the clean bend, I believe all pedals should have a 100% dry knob. Its 2020 folks, we need to start thinking about guitar fx with the same comprehensiveness as audio plugins.

Also I love preamps, and theres no better preamp company than Electronic Audio Experiments. I want both the Surveyor and Model Fet. BBE Sonic Stomp as well at the end of my chain.

These people are a reason more than a few on this forum left other forums such as The Gear Page and Talk Bass, because they tend to take over and "lord" it over every one else..

Ok I have to..

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ah I see. Do you know a band called Spacemen 3? Really, The Velvet Underground of British alternative. Every single alt rock genre that got big in the 90's all goes back to them. Anyway, their lyrics were super good. Had that depressive suicidal blues gospel thing going on, cos that was one of their influences. And the two main members as people you can tell went through some personal demons and those kind of lyrics really appealed to them so they wrote like that. A lot of it was the relationship between the higher power, in this case, the Christian version of the higher power, which aesthetically, is prolly my fave of all the depictions, not just classical religions but modern psych / new age depictions.

[qersty]

I think this is the wrong forum to ask somebody if the know spacemen 3. Excellent band, I wish I could play one chord like that

Why would it be the wrong forum? As in everyone already knows them or the people in it won't like them? I'm so curious.

[coldbrightsunlight]

I believe he meant as in most people here would know them! Certainly not the reverse - they're fairly popular round these parts. Clearly not everyone though

Spiritualized, naturally.

I know Mark Refoy, who was in Spiritualised and Spacemen 3, does that help ?
