worst jhs video to watch with an ear infection
still great tho
I like to imagine that Josh has thousands of pedals and hundreds of amps, but only one guitar and two six foot cables.
The P.A one must be captured in nam neural amp model . It will be like a legacy preservation thing like with the seed Banks.
Can't decide, the Quilter or the Sovtek. Both great in their own way.
Good weird record from the early 1980s: Lemon Kittens – We Buy a Hammer for Daddy. The title alone is enough to tell you that this will be a weird one.
One of my favourite JHS episodes, I came back here after watching the Overdrive 250 video. The 10+12 cab intrigued me back then but I only noticed the cool orange basket. By some cosmic gear karma I am about to buy a 12” Warehouse G12C/S for my own weird amp
The newcumb amp was sweet. Different albums, the one you're listening to. David Byrne and Eno..
I've got a bogen ca 30 & a newcumb 50 w/ an adjustable wattage control & separate volume. (both old pa amps)
I used to have an acetone bass 8 head it was pretty loud and had weird push button EQ presets like an accordion amp and a fuzz unit you needed a footswitch to activate but it was so quiet you had to boost it to barely hear it which sucks cause it was the reason I traded for it knowing acetone was the earliest brand for Roland and boss and there fuzz master pedals sound great but I guess I had a dud
The PA head sounds like a ZWreck
Pathfinder for me
Fun Fact: Kibosh means “to quash or to stop” & it’s origin is completely unknown.
Honestly my favorite was that falling apart one. It's like Charlie Brown's christmas tree as an amp. It's adorable, it's crunchy, and it's stubborn and refuse to die. Keep on keeping lil toaster!
Had an amp like the first one, branded as a Seabreeze…sold it in a moment of weakness.
I play a Mesa Boogie Transatlantic 30 single 12 combo, very strange and wonderful amp!
my next amp is a weird, white amp with only 3 knobs….
I wore my vinyl copy of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts out. My three favorite records when I was 16 were MLitBoG, Discipline by King Crimson, and English Settlement by XTC.
The weirdest amp I ever played was a terrible 1990s Fender low-watt solid-state head with pictograms on it for its various modes. I can't seem to find anything about it online (including its name). The guy working at the shop had a good laugh about it, and while I almost bought it on a lark, I honestly couldn't get anything decent out of it, clean, dirty, or with pedals.
Really impressed with the quiltter
What is “single-ended”?
Fight you for that pathfinder!
Haven't you heard of an isolation transformer? You use them on dangerous amps to isolate you from line voltage.
Take care.
I love the first amp. When you kicked it up, it felt like your JHS crayon but wth a lot of extra harmonic contnet. It's kinda like that old roland compression eq pedal from ether your "Before Boss was Boss" or "Boss pedals you've never heard of" video *(can't remember which one it was. It was like a harsh fuzz that wasn't fuzz.
I found it really cool and if you made that into a pedal, I'd buy it.
Dokken Shadowlife ,,, George's playing is noticably differant ,, I love it and its seems "odd" to me.
I wanted to coment when i first saw this a few months back, but this vid is like 4 years old.
I believe i own the prototype Epiphone Valve Senior.
If anyone is interested, I'll give the full story.
These would be killer Kemper profiles! Something different for all the cool kids
Fav odd record: Daniel Lanois: Acadie
Tone nerds, unite!!
Surprised a Kalamazoo model 2 wasn’t on this list. Best sleeper weird amp ever
That japanese amp was good. I mean really really good!
My first "guitar amp" was an old stereo with a 1/4" mic jack that would allow me to push record and pause on the cassette player and play through it with a distortion pedal in front. It was terrible in ways and glorious in others. It was my first so I have some fond memories with it for sure
Do you happen to have a schematic for the mig 30? Cheers
You got to get these into patches for the Helix….pleasezzzz!?
First Amp: Fuzz Sound Tubes?
Wow josh
I have Sovtek mig 80
World have 2 Sovtek mig 80
I have a Marlboro amp.ever hear of it?
Wow that sovtek tho ????
That pathfinder sounds glorious! nice warm and beefy overdrive yet very articulate. It sounds like it would be great for playing Neil Young type stuff. A lot of those vintage PA to amp conversions seem to sound great!
I also have the Voice of Music amp. I pulled mine from a reel to reel. Looks identical except for being gray… Sounds great!
I am pretty sure I have seen a Sovtek Mig 80 for sale on trademe recently – I don’t believe it sold either so it will probably be relisted soon. Currently there is a mig 60 listed. If you are after another one I can keep an eye out for you. Happy to help!
hah! i love weird amps. i've had many. thank god i don't have them any more. most were garbage but they were interesting garbage.
2 different speakers… which is why I like my Bugera BC-30 2-12 combo (Matchless clone) I wish I could afford a Matchless DC 30 2-12.
It's only effective LIVE. and everyone hearing you live goes "Horly Ship!!!" when they hear it.
Hey
Z vex nano amp
Wow ????
The first amp sounds like hot trash .
Yamaha made a unique amp made of a pre amp head and powered bottom's that would drive it's own horn cab. and up to 4 cabs could be driven by the head. 100 watts per powered bottom and horn was rated to 75 watts . 2 12's per cab and 5 driver horn and lens. Early 70's WoW!
Great video, where was the metasonix you know what, you know whatter????
