the good news is I just got to listen to extremely delicious guitar tones in stereo. as a bonus I learned that the pedal sequences I've used over the years have been pretty well in line with what you're showing. I don't have as extensive of a rig, but the general principles you're talking about were fun to see and say "oh yeah that's what I do." and stereo guitar tones are so beautiful. I like to pair a totally dry amp that is already dialed in for a hint of dirt, with an amp that has a little reverb and a very clean tone. It's fun to hear how the different amps respond to the pedals and it certainly takes some time to dial it in to where it feels like all the pedal combinations sound great, but once you're there you wonder how you ever enjoyed life before.

Great video, as always. Learning the value of a boost into a good overdrive was a big moment for me. I tried (and subsequently bought) a Fulldrive 2. It took me 30 seconds to get it! On my small board I have a two stage boost into a Klon clone and love that I can set a core drive tone and vary the amount. I still do a lot with my guitar's volume too but it all goes back to my rack days. I realised setting a few core tones on my JMP 1 meant I had MY tone and could add effects as needed.

Yes! The different gain structure of each OD circuit was easy to distinguish. I have an HX Stomp XL which I precede with a Germanium SunFace fuzz, King of Tone, Keeley Oxblood, and L.A. Lady for the same reason. Sometimes its fun to stack a couple of them. Also placed a flanger in front of the Stomp because it's nice to have the physical knobs, and running it in series with emulated flangers makes for a deeper swirly tone. I can see that a compressor would be nice after the fuzz. I have an unused MXR 10 band EQ that I should add too!

It sounds great in every environment, every time, no questions asked…clubs, theaters, small stadiums, tents, doesn’t matter.

Good playing. So humble! Does the pedalboard have an analog dry thru for the m9?
@VertexEffectsInc
Ай бұрын
No, no analog dry path after the M9, but most people that give the words "analog dry" don't really understand it, or hear it. Unless you have a version of your signal that's not running through the effect (in this case M9), you'll have no reference for the analog dry to compare against to hear phasing or any artifact of the latency. For this reason, pretty much every studio great in Nashville uses the M9 and doesn't care that it's not an analog dry thru. If they had wet/dry/wet rigs, you could make a case for the mixer, but since it's in series with everything, and likely going to a digital interface and DAW, there's no threat from using the DSP here.

I tried it many times, but low to high gain sounds better to my ears when stacked while I'm still able to play the drives individually without having to tweak around in between. I wasn't able to do that when playing high to low gain, always had to readjust. When it sounded good individually, I didn't like the stacked sound and visa versa...

For the most part, what I see, and I've heard from the studio guys, is the main gain pedal used is the main gain pedal, and their either using the RC to boost saturation, or the Vertex Boost (or clean boost) to boost level/output. They typically aren't stacking the OD/Distortion pedals together, but using predictable pre-gain boosts or post-gain boosts to add on.

If you were doing it as just a static thing, then (of course) you could do that, but you get a little bit of the clean signal before you get the vibrato signal when you do it in this fashion because there is a short time delay between when the actual effect is engaged in when the effect gets bypassed.

Makes tons of sense the Nashville studio guys would have similar effects on their boards so that say a Brent Mason vibe is on speed dial. What surprises me is that the trend towards a Brian May style tone isn't more popular in Nashville due to May having had to find an EQ range that could complement not compete with a busy piano. Maybe I'm only showing ignorance here as you do have an EQ pedal on your board for one, but for both overdriven solo & chord tones May & his gear muse in Rory Gallagher seemed to have a great option there.

Nashville seems to be getting more divorced from Brent Mason's sensibilities as we get further into the 2010's and most of the session guitarists, although they can play anything, seem more like 80s Rock 'n Roll guitarists in terms of what's being asked for. Don't get me wrong, there is still plenty of legacy acts that want Brent or someone to do his sound, but I think the baseline has morphed to heavier effects and processing overall.

@@VertexEffectsInc Great point & Dann Huff -- another guitarist who can seemingly play anything -- might be a great example for what you mean there. And both he & Tom Bukovac have confessed to using Matchless amps for some of their Nashville session work, so maybe they HAVE leveraged May's EQ strategy to some degree & I'm just failing to recognize it. Anyway, thanks! It's always great to get your learned perspective on pro level gear choices & setups not to mention your interviews with the studio guitar legends.

With regard to running 2 power supplies - is it ok/safe to a single power chord that splits to send power to each supply (in this case 2xTrueTone CS6's). The cord is manufactured as a y-cable, I didn't DIY it. I haven't wired the board up yet and I am just worried that there will be issues since both PSU's would be powered by essentially the same single power source. I run a multitude of pedals with a "clock" in them as Mason puts it - multiple delays and reverbs.

The low voltage DC supply is where some (usually digital) pedals tend to send transients which can be amplified by high gain OD pedals on the same supply. The AC side should not have any such problems.

I've always had at least 13 to 16 pedals on my boards. From delays, reverbs chorus and so on. But nothing over the top. I do play with a double delay pedals and together they sound incredible! I use the Nemesis and the BOSS DD3 together and man , its something else when you do it just right with slight echo from each one. I have also been using a pre amp pedal in my effects loop which really changes the sound of your amp and cabinet to an all new level of smooth beautiful sound. Thats with an EQ pedal and now my TONEX pedal. Hot damn!

Yes, I think of them more like an EQ pedal than a buffer, I also think they're impractical to use a buffers in your system since you'd need to buy separate versions for input and output (and that's only if you run a mono rig in front of an amp), and I think they color the sound (by design) too much to be a buffer for me. I know people enjoy the color of them, and that's fine, but that's sorta the antithesis of what a buffer is supposed to do.

But I do madly respect Bukovac, him and my father used to work together a lot back in the 90’s. All these guys are great, I just find the obsession people have suddenly with all these guys is funny, but they deserve it, they’ve payed their dues to have the reverence they’re receiving, but there are some other cats who deserve it too. Like James Mitchell, Hemby, Cleveland, Kelly Back, Joel Key, and plenty others. We need a real session player appreciation for all the guys who work their tails off to not only work steadily but provide for their families

I really appreciate this video, all of them really, but the delay kinda killed this for me. The highs were almost painful. Obviously when you're in a mix with a band, guitar is eq'd with highs pushed but stand-alone, it's tough. Would've been great either no delay or a very modest delay. Regardless, thanks for doing what you do
