Hi Warren, I hope you're doing marvellously well! Today, we're blessed to sit down with the wonderful Jon Button. Jon is an amazing bassist who has toured and recorded with some of my favourite bands and artists such as 'The Who', 'Sheryl Crow' and 'Shakira'. Jon and I have been working together for a many years and he tracked bass for 'I'll Be Your Man' by James Blunt, which I co-produced alongside Kevin Griffin. In our recent session at Sunset Sound I took the chance to interview Jon about his bass recording chain and setup! Jon has a wonderful collection of basses and an insanely versatile pedalboard. The tones he gets out of that thing within seconds is absolutely incredible. Please enjoy this video! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren

It's a big ask for the Eventide price - but considering what it does and how good it sounds, you would spend many times that amount on seperate pedals to do it. this channel's never a let-down and always fresh. Well done. Off to check out Noble!

It's just a simple pedal order-switcher, or sometimes it's called a fip-flopper. I forget who makes mine, but several companies make them. They're intended to change the order of pedals in a pedall board. (For instance if sometimes you want your delay before your distortion, or sometimes you don't.) So I just use that to change the "order" of the D.I. and my effects loop. Basically choosing whether the effects come before or after the D.I.

Can someone explain how he exactly he is blending clean with dist/fuzz?". I mean he adressed the modulatin effect being "before the DI" with his splity thingie...., but what about those distortion sounds? I liked their subtlety. Anyways if anyone can explain the signal chain more I would appreciate it alot. Is it simply placing a the fuzz after the DI? Good stuff

Hey, I got one question about playing the B 15 live. Jon shows us his DI box on the pedalboard, right ? Does that mean he does not mic his amp when he plays live and just uses the DI on his pedalboard? And does he even use his B 15 for live gigs ? Many Thanks for the awesome interview!

I generally don't use the B15 live. I usually use an SVT which I mic as well as use a DI and the Front of house mixer can blend the two.

Great video and some sweet tones & playing! I'm a bit late it seems but I am very intrigued by Jon's pedal switching setup with the Keely & flip flop loopers. I am trying to wrap my head around the signal chain for this setup and I can't quite envision it. It seems that the Keely switches the big pedal board on & off but I don't understand the loops in the flip flop for the amp & DI. Also where does the signal go from the output on the left side of the flip flop. Thanks!
@mostyncole

I have exactly the same question. How does he split the signal to run FX only through the amp and clean through the DI?

@@mostyncole copied from above... plug the bass into the right side of the flip flop. the first send and return on the flip flop goes to/ from the DI. the second send and return goes to / from the Keely loop switcher which is weird to/from the pedals. then send the output of the flip flop (left side) to the amp. the flip flop will decide whether the bass goes to the DI before the pedals or the pedals before the DI. It's a complicated setup but worth the convenience.
