Day of Dunlop, MXR and Way Huge- Guitar pedal demos

Taylor Barefoot demonstrates pedals from Dunlop, Way Huge and MXR in the recording studio. The goal here is to show how awesome these pedals can sound with a good player and a great setup. For most pedals we were only able to explore one setting each.

To make it more digestible, we split the pedals up into five mini "rigs" featuring different guitars and amps.

We start with an "Alternative" rig with a Two Rock Custom Reverb Signature II with a Gene Baker B3 Phoenix Tele. Taylor misspeaks at the beginning and says he's using a DC-30 here, but he isn't.

Then we move to a "Classic" rig with an original 1969 Marshall JMP and a '59 RI Custom Shop Gibson Les Paul from 1996.

For a "Country" rig we use a '94 Matchless DC-30 with a Linhof Special Telecaster.

And for the "Metal/Heavy" rig we used a '78 Gibson RD and a Mesa Dual Rectifier Tremoverb.

For the "Bass" rig, we're going direct with a Lakeland Jazz bass into an API3124 and a Distressor.

We also demonstrated the differences between the Phase 90, Phase 90 Script and Phase 45 Script, as well as the differences between the Dynacomp and Dynacomp Script Reissue.

A Marshall 50th Anniversary 4x12 was used for all guitar setups, with a Royer R-121 and a SM-57 on the cab. No room mic.

We used a Shadow Hills Gama 8 Preamp and a Lynx Aurora 16 to bring us into Protools HD.

All pedals were powered with a Dunlop DC Brick. Cables interconnecting the pedals are from Mulder Audio.

Camera shots were done with a Nikon D7000 with some alternate shots on Loose Ends done with an iPad 2's rear camera.

Some knob positions on closeups pedals may not be 100% accurate since those were shot at the end of takes and some knobs may have been bumped.

"Loose Ends" is courtesy of Casey Desmond (http://caseydesmond.com). Check her out. She's awesome and Taylor plays guitar with her.

So let say we're comparing the GT-OD and the CAE/MXR Boost/Overdrive....which would you say is better for more rock?

[Tibbon]

@GuitarGod94XxXx Going to depend a bit on your playing style and amp, but I think the GT-OD just might be the better option if you're looking for something simple that has a nice gain to it. I personally use the CAE Boost/OD more for something that I want to have multiple gain stages that I can switch through, starting with a lower gain going to a higher one. Both good pedals.

[gkeeper1993]

hey this is a great video!! i have a question though... what kind of cable are you using from the guitar to the pedals?? ive never seen anything that looks quite like it lol....

[Tibbon]

@gkeeper1993 Lava Soar cables. They are great!

hey taylor! which songs did you play in the heavy part? amazing songs!

[Tibbon]

@nikitofin (David answering here): I think those are all songs by Dominican Poets, a band which Taylor played in during the late 90's. I'll call Taylor and ask with his permission if I can upload audio to some of those songs to YouTube, although the rights/ownership of those might be in limbo since unfortunately the lead singer passed away a few years ago. I'm unsure if his estate claims rights to those or cares.

[GuitarGod94XxXx]

@Tibbon well it sound like to me the GT-OD has more gain. Which is what I'm going for. I like the Boost option on the CAE.

Does the CAE sound anything close to the GT-OD? Gain wise?

If it doesn't then I'll get the GT-OD and the MC-401 CAE boost/line driver.
