Youtube disclosure

I'm a big Darkness fan, but Justin's uploads were so frequent that I quit watching his videos for a while. I love that guy, but it was like trying to drink from a firehouse and some of the more recent ones have been playing into the clickbait thing.

I had that experience with John Cordy. I was watching his channel for the Helix/modeller related stuff but it was so frequent it all started to feel like spam so I unsubscribed. Now I go back every few months and just watch the videos that appeal.

I didn't forget @jjjimi84 's channel dk pedals. He deserves a separate post because he is one of us.

Dan is just like you and me: he builds pedals, he gets excited and he records a video in his room to talk about them. His videos have buzzes, hums and what not, they sound real. No million dollar oxbox la2a neumann baloney post processing, no purple lights and no (so far) goofy faces in the thumbnails.

This is so incredibly kind of you to say! My channel started just to try and showcase the diy projects for other builders. Maybe teach a thing or two and a giant excuse to use my equipment that I am so fortunate to have.

I love this community and cannot thank you enough for the kind words. My channel will always be 100% dedicated to this community and will never ever have weird faces in the thumbnails or be click baity. I hate that shit and will never ask for donations or money or be sponsored, the channel is for this community.

I'd have to agree with a lot of these, a lot of them are also repetitive (such is YT).

DK pedals is great, I heard there is a deep fake version where he is naked but I haven't found it yet.

I have that video somewhere…

A bit? ha. More like complete weirdo.

First and foremost DK pedals. I don't need to say any more than that. this is the only gear channel I watch that really matters

I pay him to say that people!

Ain't that the whole truth. Sometimes he even drags his kid into it. I watch them all.

Most importantly, I like the no-nonsense, probably done with a phone camera, demos from everyone here. I try to subscribe to all of you, so if something new pops up, I make sure to watch.

Semi-gear:
Brad Angove - Mostly for the finishing info I want around finishing guitar kits. He features products and has affiliate links, but seems to be very upfront about it. He even favors my favorite kit company.

I have even more videos with him in the works. I love him more than anything and having a mini forever watchable time capsule is priceless to me.

The cats around here have some of my favorite videos and are super inspiring to watch.

Brad Angove is really great but that guy really needs to wear a mask more, I am worried about his future lung health.

Amp stuff:
Psionic Audio
Lyle shows amp repair and complains about the cheap ass construction of most modern amps, but in an amusing (to me) way

Uncle Doug
Amp channel that’s a little more educationally focused than Lyle’s channel

D-Lab
Another amp channel with some DIY projects

Fazio Electric
Yet another amp channel, but from a younger person, working on vintage equipment

Pedal stuff:

Grey Bench Electronics
Cool pedal tear downs, pedal builds, and amp builds

Wampler
Coolest guy in the pedal business teaches you about circuits

TPS
Good background noise even if I’m not interested in the current topic.

General guitar playing or gear stuff:

Homeskoolin’ / Tom Bukovac / 501chorusecho
Bukovac is a Nashville studio guy. Has awesome stories and can play like a mf

Everyone of those are outstanding channels, I would love to spend a day talking with Wampler. The dude is so good at teaching this stuff and I really like his channel.

Seriously fellas, you all are the best! Making a fella fell like a million bucks!
 
Dave’s World of Fun Stuff (subtitle warning: he’s Canadian), 5 Watt World, We As A Company, Joe Gore (tone fiend), are all ones I regularly watch, in addition to several already mentioned…

Lately, I’ve been watching Drain Addict…

I hesitate to name Tom Bukovac because I don't consider him a youtuber but the guy has chops, gear, stories and an attitude that I appreciate.
His early garage videos will always remain classics, I hope he doesn't evolve his channel too much. The simplicity and rawness are the whole appeal to me.
Not happy about his recent call for a video editor with the promise of little to no money. Screw exploiting young talents just because they love their craft. If you own a 58 burst and dozens of vintage guitars, classic cars and a house with a pool you freaking pay your video editor.

I was an early fan of Eric Haugen. I stopped actively following him when his channel became Hendrix doublestops galore and more of an instructional channel. I always check the videos but they rarely interest me anymore. Cool guy though.

TPS is just great if you want complete rundowns of pedals and I love their enthusiasm. Their Noel Gallagher interview is fantastic. I hope they continue to grow.

Johan Segeborn - I just wanna go to Sweden and play 70s hard rock with the guy. Also the best accent ever.

Anyway this thread has reminded me of how small the internet is in 2023. I literally only visit 3-4 sites, this one being the best. I remember visiting dozens of sites, blogs, repositories and portals back in the day. The internet seemed bigger when I discovered it in 1998 at Bauhaus University in Weimar, on a Silicon Graphics workstation using Netscape Navigator.

Wow - Bauhaus University in Weimar? My first thought was how old are you?? I didn't realise they had the internet in the '30s! I'm quite the Bauhaus fan. Even visited the Bauhaus museum in Berlin and the Paul Klee gallery in Bern. The more you post Andare the more I think I'd like to have a coffee or a beer with you!

I have to agree with you re Tom Bukovac - I much prefer Ask Zak. I also agree with whoever mentioned Adam Savage's Tested. He is so full of energy and enthusiasm. And does cool, weird stuff. I quite like Uncle Doug and love Psionic. TPS goes on a bit and they get a little over-excited about things sometimes. And Mr Ronquillo makes too much stench face for me.

Trogly's is weird! He has some cool stuff on there but I still find it hard to believe that anyone actually talks like that. He reminds me of when I was a kid working part time in a department store and we had a family of Texans come through. My coworkers and I were incredulous that people actually spoke like that. We though they had to be putting it on! But no, a whole family of Gomer Pyles was standing there guffawing to each other. We'd never heard anything like it. Who knows what we sounded like to them?
 
I am still pretty fond of TPS. As others have mentioned it makes a great background video even if I’m not super interested in a given topic. But I’ve taken a lot of ideas and inspiration from them too.

Tim Pierce is one of my favorites too. Seems like such a nice guy and sounds killer in pretty much any context. I feel like I’ve learned a lot about getting the most out of the gear at my disposal from him (though of course he has a studio full of gear that’s probably as valuable as my whole block)

JayLeonardJay is another guy I really dig. Super fun and down to earth dude who is a great player. He does a fair amount of sponsored stuff but a lot of it is less “typical” than you might usually expect.

I’m sure there are a few more but that’s just a couple favorites off the top my my head

I only attended the low-rent (free actually) version of the Bauhaus in 1998-1999. Not much to do with the OG I'm afraid though the parties were very good.
 
Also - thanks @SillyOctpuss. I like this thread where we don’t have to pretend we’re too cool to like goofy YouTube videos about our goofy hobby. I’ve watched a shit ton of JHS as pedal building background noise for instance.

I don’t think I’ve seen “The Pedal Zone” mentioned. European dude into some shoegaze / post rock stuff. I appreciate his non-blues based demo playing a lot.
 
Are you even a member of this forum if you have never watched Dan’s channel? @jjjimi84 when are you going to start having guests on?🤣 (that would be a technical/logistical nightmare wouldn’t it?) I also have watched the pedal zone a few times, Spectre sound studios is great Glen cracks me up, and how can you not like Ola Englund? And hands down I love Bernth his older exercise videos helped me a lot.
