Youre gonna have fun when something starts buzzing and you cant find it

[trguitarlesson]

@jackofkiwiland youd think, but its actually SUPER easy to find something thats buzzing/bad patch/bad ground/bad pedal because there are only 3 pedals outside of the true bypass looper (wah,volume, BBE sonic stomp) everything else is through the looper.meaning that process of illimination is basic trouble shooting.first turn off ALL feeds on the looper to the pedals...if there is still an issue it has to be either my guitar, cable to board, patches going to the 3 pedals, cable to amp, or amp.

@jackofkiwiland i actually had a gig last year where something like that happened while in sound checking and i figured it out in minutes... the frustrating part was having everything under mounted but super easy to fix on the fly.... true pass looper saved my life ;)

wow thats a huge board and looks like you got a variety of sounds to choose from. but how come you put your booster after your distortions? i never thought of that cause i usually put it before my volume pedal lol. thanks for doing this video.

@dlul7

good question. Boost before drive will compress your drive signal giving it a more "driven sound"....boost AFTER drive will just bring the volume up only. it depends also how you are running your amp...i mostly use my amp's natural overdrive so if i "boost" the volume i will actually compress my amps "natural" drive. a lot of people you will hear use the term "PUSHING" your amp/tubes/pedals etc... this is what they mean by that

The JHV3 mod. Who do I contact about getting one, as well as having it modded out. I love the delay/trem sync!

[trguitarlesson]

@mrmaswenson the switcher i got from baron at younworks(dot)com

and the mod i had done by jack at jhv3d(dot)com but the hinge of it all was the master momentary switch i had installed into my road rage switcher when it was being made you can find that at roadrageprogear(dot)com they are built like tanks!

@RockMailou

answer: because being hired by different artists means i need to be versitile...and i have pretty much all my gounds covered with this board. this is pretty common...the last studio session i did, i used EVERY single pedal on this board EXCEPT the wah.

there are some really kewl studios up in nashville where they have patchbays to a LOT more pedals to go through and more amps than i own... which btw, my board and amps have changed slightly since then... update soon.

[RockMailou]

Wtf ? There's almost 20 pedals, why do you need so many ?

[DeVengencie]

throw that sonic maximizer in the trash bro. :/

[mixermantim]

I love your pedal board set up.
