 Hey, what's up everybody. I thought this might be interesting to some of you guys. I was going through my pedals and I'm getting ready to rearrange them in my studio and hook them into my recording setup here and I thought I would set them up once more in the configuration that I used a couple years ago when the band that I play with self was able to open up for the Killers on a couple of shows in the Pacific Northwest and Canada and this is the setup that I used for that. Obviously, I had better wiring. This was all taken apart from my previous couple of moves but I just thought I would piece it back together similar to how I had it but I'm just using these longer cables and it's not very neat right now but you can imagine it once was very tight and let's see it all fit. Let's see inside of this bag right here which is pretty great. It's Mr. Power. I just found this little gig bag and pedal board on Amazon and thought it was pretty good for what I needed to use it for. It's got Velcro all over it. All right, so let's run through these pedals real quick. Obviously polytune, this is my tuner. This is very well lit up. It has a feature where you can just strum all of the strings and it will show you which ones are out of tune but I never used that. I just do individual strings and from that we're running into the Boss Noise suppressor, the NS2. This is pretty much needed because I've got some high gain stuff going on over here and it just really kind of helps not be quite so noisy with some of the guitars that I play and then let's see that goes into the Whammy and the Whammy does a lot of stuff. I pretty much only use it for a lower octave or a higher octave. I use it on a couple of songs with the lower octave for like a heavier octave pedal thing and then I use it on the higher octave on a couple of things for like fake 12 string type parts and I use the flurb or something on the Holy Grail to kind of make that sound a little more like a chorus 12 string. Anyway, so that goes into this pedal, the Gray Stash which is a pedal by Fuzrosius that my friend Matt Mahaffey told me about and we got similar pedals. These were custom made. I wanted to get sort of the same thing that he was using on his recordings so that I could kind of match the tone a little bit. This is a pretty interesting pedal. It's got a switch here and this one has got three different circuits in it. I always use the Germanium circuit. It's got a couple of these other transistors in here but the Germanium one is obviously the best sounding one. Let's see it goes from there into my old DM3 analog delay. I've had this pedal for a really, really long time. Probably has the original price tag on it of like I think that says 125 bucks or something and these are probably worth a little bit more money these days. I've had it for a long time and I love that pedal. It has some really great analog delay effects whenever you start twisting these knobs and all of that. I'll demo some of that in just a few minutes and then it goes from there into this Holy Grail pedal. This is just a simple reverb. I like to kind of have this in a pedal as opposed to using the reverb in an amp because usually when we go out and play shows we rant amps and I only carry a guitar and a gig bag and a pedal board and so I like to be able to control my reverb and it's got a spring and a hall and a flurb and this flurb is sort of like what I would use like a univide for but obviously small pedal board I need to kind of condense so I try to get the similar sounds out of the other pedals. Yeah so I've only got one high gain pedal here mostly because we were playing an opening set and it really didn't require multiple varieties of distortion but typically on my bigger pedal board I'll use this Route 66 which is like a tube screamer and a dyna comp or something I believe in this. These were made by a company in Tennessee and I love this pedal I've had this one for a long time and I've even got yeah there was a remake of it that's slightly smaller but I prefer the the older one that I've got I've had this for like 20 something years probably. Anyway let me get a guitar plugged in and I'll run this through my amp and I'll show you guys kind of what some of this stuff sounds like. Cool so let's go through this pedal demo here I've got my Jazzmaster on this is not the guitar that I used I didn't have this guitar when I was playing the last set of shows I think I used a Gretch Electromatic just to kind of a cheap a couple hundred dollar guitar that I could take on tour but we're going to go through all this with the Jazzmaster Bintera right here because I think it sounds pretty good and this is what I would use you know today if we were able to do some more shows which you never know anyway so once again tuner I'm already all tuned up noise suppressor this is pretty much already set the way that I use it I'm not going to change that you know whammy pedal I've already kind of gone through all this so let's just start out with some clean tones so let's see we'll tab this off and let's see let's let me just show you what the delay in the holy grill kind of sounds like. On the amp setup I'll just show you here real quick because in the other room I've got an isolated amp and it's running through a little microphone here into my Apollo X4 and into Logic and that's the guitar sound that you're hearing it's pretty straight through I think maybe I have a Neve preamp for the UA stuff but other than that it's pretty much just the guitar through the pedalboard through my little quilter amp. It's a solid state by the way it sounds sounds great for a solid state amp. Anyway um you know this is a clean sound a little bit of flurb on that here let's see what that kind of sounds like let's see what kind of has that effect. This is what I use the whammy pedal for the octave like a pretty cool sound. All right um so that's pretty much what I use. Chipped over do some dirty stuff I hope you guys probably like that let's turn everything else off except for turn on the gray stash here and you probably hear right away this here um kind of spec a little bit when I go to the middle position this is just kind of the noise thing I've got going on this uh vinteria jazzmaster I'm gonna line the the cavity with some uh copper or something pretty soon but anyway pretty good draw sound trying to sound there let's see you in this cranked wide open right now in the sustains I can pull it back a little bit let's see this is my other uh big sound that I use I do the whammy on the octave press this down and then I've got like a missing sustain almost a jack-wise sound but you know self uses that sound quite a bit for that it's pretty big just with one one guitar there and obviously you can hear the noise the press for kicking in right there if I had that off it would be a little bit noisier uh so you know that's pretty much it uh for what I use this stuff for let's see like if I needed some big solo sound that would probably kick on this and that and
