YOUTUBER: Sweetwater

Sweetwater & Josh Scott: Fuzz, Accidents, and the Sonic Uprising

Sweetwater brings in JHS’s Josh Scott for a wild ride through the twisted, fuzz-soaked history of guitar effects. If you think distortion was always cool, think again—Scott digs up the moments when fuzz was an accident, a scandal, and finally, a revolution. Expect tales of blown transformers, failed pedals, and the kind of sonic chaos that turned polite pop into a street fight. Sweetwater’s polished style meets Scott’s pedal-geek enthusiasm, and the result is a history lesson that kicks like a drunken horse. If you want every detail, you’ll need to watch the video—some sounds just can’t be described in
