I remember meeting him in PHX, back in August 2017, a day before Mayer's concert, I was in a guitar center looking for something, and I started going through some Mayer songs on a beautiful strat I saw, he heard me and came by, as he started asking me questions I couldn't help but think "why is he so familiar", as soon as I told him we were there for the concert, he told me "oh yeah I'm playing there" and I knew it, I had just begun listening to him, and it was amazing meeting him and hear him play, he's so humble and cool.
We saw Isiah touring with John Mayer in 2019. Our seats were right in front of Isiah, five rows from the front. I was just blown away by his talent. He is awesome.
For a couple of my smaller boards where I needed a 2nd row but couldn't fit a pedal riser, something that helped was using the Tall version of the Barefoot Buttons. Makes it easier to switch the pedal without bumping things.
Thanks to this video I learned about the existence of the neutrik powercon and the pedal risers from best tronics (in case it works for someone, i have used the micro module punched plate from temple audio). Nice video btw!!
I'm always astonished by Sharkey's playing, and I'm delighted to see his taste in pedals vibes with the kind of pedals I enjoy (big Chase Bliss fanboy over here, so I was stoked to see the Warped Vinyl and Tonal Recall on his setup...). If he uses them, maybe I'm on the right track! ;-)
Mason! Finally building my dream pedal board and I’ve purchased all the overdrive pedals and the compressor on this build! By chance, do you remember the exact signal path? Any pedals that were considered “always on” by Sharkey? Did you recognize a preferred overdrive stack for his gain staging?
Is that a Marshall Haze 40 at the beginning? I had one of those nearly a decade ago and really haven't heard or seen anything about them since I sold it.
Hey Mason - What did you guys use to Extend the Rubber-feet on the Pedaltrain (for more ground clearance?) - I may need to do that? - to my little Pedaltrain Nano Acoustic board. Looks neat, clean and sounds fantastic.
Uncle Mason....I think the answer is 'yes' but will Dual Lock work with the velcro that comes with PT boards? I use the loop side on my PT's and would like to start using Dual Lock if possible.
I’m very interested in the interface that Dan made fro the Pedaltrain. Any more info about that (parts list, tips, etc.) would be appreciated. Great video!! Thanks - love your channel.

Not that I’m trying to dissuade you from getting Best-Tronics stuff. But check out the Goodwood Interfacer or Underfacer. It’s both an interfacer AND a high quality in and out buffer on par with Mason’s favorite buffers.
hey Rig Doctor: I think will be great to teach us how to attach a power supply to a flat board... at least for me... how to attach my zuma to my flat board! How to build those custom brackets... Thanks Rig Doctor... you rock !!!! Big hug from Colombia !
If it were a switching rig, I’d agree. But, with series pedals like this, it can be well tested in an hour with little chance of latent failure if it’s properly evaluated before leaving.
Mason, I may have missed mention of it in the video and I don’t see it in the list of pedals, but what is that Strymon “blackout” underneath his pedalboard? A third power supply?
@@MrSpock I don't do it for hire, just to make TH-cam content and teaching videos. Talk to Brad and the guys at Best-Tronics and I'm sure they can help!
Vertex Effects & Mr. Spock 🖖 That’s the black box you’re referring to? I get the two blue Strymon power boxes. The black box with black lettering. I’m a strymon endorser and I’ve never seen the “blackout” units from them.
It was not a consideration. They may work for some people, but in relationship to the Strymon power supplies (and those over listed in the description), they are not comparable.
That tone from Isaiah has the touch and the feeling plus a well build solid rig!. Mason I would like to know how close are we from getting an Episode Featuring John Mayer?.
Tension or a hard break angle would be problematic - however, there is no stress on the cable under the way, there is about 1/4" clearance from the Dual Lock Velcro. It's not sitting flush against the surface as a result.

Diego García Gonzalez great story
Isaiah Sharkey's casual skill is intimidating AF. What a player.
Haha he's a beast!

He's amazing indeed!
Sharkey is THE man! Keep the series going
Yea man! He's amazing! Please help spread the word and subscribe if you're so inclined :)
For a couple of my smaller boards where I needed a 2nd row but couldn't fit a pedal riser, something that helped was using the Tall version of the Barefoot Buttons. Makes it easier to switch the pedal without bumping things.
Just not something we could get in a 12 hour turn around with same day notice. Good idea however!
It is not even fair how good this guy can play.
He's unreal! Thanks for watching! I hope we earned your subscription!
Love Sharkey! He is so amazing in John Mayer's touring band
🥳🥳🥳
Nice. Isaiah is one of the nicest guitar players around
yes indeed!
Nicely done! Best board I have seen in a while. Including TGP!!
🥳🥳🥳
Love ya Isaiah. Sorry about copping your licks!
😂😂😂😂
That was awesome. Great board great playing 👌👌

Yea, waiting for the Vibro King to warm up
Anyone remember the movie *Sharkey's Machine* with Burt Reynolds?
_The Rig Doctor's gotta a machine head. He works for his machine!_ 👍
hahahahahaha!
Hey Mason - What did you guys use to Extend the Rubber-feet on the Pedaltrain (for more ground clearance?) - I may need to do that? - to my little Pedaltrain Nano Acoustic board. Looks neat, clean and sounds fantastic.
I think they're from Penn Elcom - large rubber feed for amps.
@@VertexEffectsInc Thanks. I will check it out.
Uncle Mason....I think the answer is 'yes' but will Dual Lock work with the velcro that comes with PT boards? I use the loop side on my PT's and would like to start using Dual Lock if possible.
Yes it will
Is it the day before he play with david ryan harris? Cuz the outfit and the guitar is exactly the same

You can find them on Best-Tronics' website just like Brad did in the video. I think they sell them pre-built. Links in the description.
Not that I’m trying to dissuade you from getting Best-Tronics stuff. But check out the Goodwood Interfacer or Underfacer. It’s both an interfacer AND a high quality in and out buffer on par with Mason’s favorite buffers.
Vertex Effects thanks!
Adam Smale Actually, it doesn’t appear that they are, I don’t see the specifications published anywhere, have you seen differently?
hey Rig Doctor: I think will be great to teach us how to attach a power supply to a flat board... at least for me... how to attach my zuma to my flat board! How to build those custom brackets... Thanks Rig Doctor... you rock !!!! Big hug from Colombia !
Typically, I use 3M Dual Lock
I normally would never a trust a rig built a day before a tour, but this is a whole other level. The speakon connector for the power supplies?? BRUH
If it were a switching rig, I’d agree. But, with series pedals like this, it can be well tested in an hour with little chance of latent failure if it’s properly evaluated before leaving.
Powercon, Speakon is for speakers only
@@VertexEffectsInc So...Sharkey is pushing everything in front the amp and not using fx send, correct? If so, why the need for a 3rd cable - speakon?
KirbyDTrim all in front of the amp, that’s a powercon for the power supply.
@@VertexEffectsInc Thanks.
Love Isaia's guitar! Tasty player, killer wah sound too
Thank you! It's a LockHorn Marquette. We're very happy to have Isaiah playing our guitars.
Mason, I may have missed mention of it in the video and I don’t see it in the list of pedals, but what is that Strymon “blackout” underneath his pedalboard? A third power supply?
The ojai doesn’t have those components internally, so it needs that little box, like the charger for a laptop. Zuma can use an IEC cable.
All the input voltage switching is happening inside of that box, outside of the power supply itself. Mr. Spock got there before me!
Vertex Effects but you said it better 😉. Btw, what’s your rate for this kind of work? I’m near you in Oakland 👌🏻
@@MrSpock I don't do it for hire, just to make TH-cam content and teaching videos. Talk to Brad and the guys at Best-Tronics and I'm sure they can help!

Curious about the Nightshade - is it tubescreamer-ish? Great vid!
Don't think so...sounds like a high gain pedal.
I added up how much this is worth....gulp. Super great segment though! Very informative! thanks!
Glad you found it helpful! Hope we earned your subscription!
That intro is hilarious haha
Thanks for watching!
How you choose which power supply would suit the best on a pedalboard? Like on this video you picked the zuma but on others the 1spot
They can both be great just depends on the context, I suggest you watch your video about choosing the right power supply, a buyers guide
Hi Mason - what size are the 3M tie down mounts under the pedalboard? thanks!
They are 0.75" x 0.75"
Bam! Best-Tronics did it again!
Thanks!
sbadali1 🥳🥳🥳
What’s the voltage did he choose on this Steel Strings, 9v or 18v?
Thanks!
9V
@@VertexEffectsInc thank you!
Kevin Lin 🙏🙏🙏
Yesssss!
thanks for watching!
do you have a video about whats the best way to cram a pedalboard?
whats the signal chain like?
See description
Great layout. Guitar type?
It's a LockHorn Marquette. Thanks for noticing!!
killer ...Nice Job...love it no Helix
gigrig power man. It's the best. It's versatile and small. Can always add to it. I would never go with another brand!
It was not a consideration. They may work for some people, but in relationship to the Strymon power supplies (and those over listed in the description), they are not comparable.
Flimsy and complicated.
Hey does anyone know what guitar this red guitar is that Isaiah uses?
Sharquette is the model not sure the maker but it’s a local Chicago guy
@@VertexEffectsInc thank you for the reply 😁 I always enjoy your video's, the boards are always so neat!
Lockhorn Instruments, based out of Chicago.
@@ianoliver8780 my pleasure!
@@callmeJarvis Bam! There it is!
For what it's worth: On your banner, you misspelled a word.
It's Weekly, not "Weekley"
(Everything else about this channel is literally perfect)
We will fix! Thank you!
Thanks for the great info but slow down those camera moves brother or get a little gimbal of some sort!
Can anyone tell me what type of way pedal that is? WAs perfect.
See description, all products are listed in order
What's the song we hear on the background?
it's listed in the video frame
That tone from Isaiah has the touch and the feeling plus a well build solid rig!. Mason I would like to know how close are we from getting an Episode Featuring John Mayer?.
Sadly, i think that's a very long road to go. John doesn't even use vertex pedals
Fer - sounds like fun....
@@guusverschuuren8495 is the a prerequisite?
Where can I listen to the song at 2:35 … so good
Tim Marco! Check him out on Instagram!
Is Rig Doctor's intro referencing to Nathan For You?
I love that show!
@@VertexEffectsInc Me too! Hahaha!
Wah after tuner?
I need handles on my pedal board. So hard to get out of the case live, just grabbing onto the inside. With it being so fast, it’s torture.
You can buy wire pulls at most hardware stores, the ones made for cabinets
Vertex Effects why thank you! BTW love your Dynamic Distortion. Best ever!
wanda James 🥳🥳🥳 thank you!!!
What’s the amp? Thanks
What was that little Marshall he was plugged into?
Class 5 I think it’s called
Marshall Origin. I have one and I will never not have one again. :-)
@@Maurice510 there was a vibro king in the background that blew up right before the test, so this was our only option.
@@VertexEffectsInc No pressure! :-)
I suspect whatever Isiah plugs into, it sounds good.
@@Maurice510 Very true!
Question...what can l BUY Tim Marco’s music??? He’s breaking my neck over here 😂🙏🏾🙏🏾
Ron, have you tried reaching out to him on Instagram?
Vertex Effects good looking out...I’ll hit him up THANKS
What kinda fuzz?
I don't think there is a fuzz here...is there?
@@VertexEffectsInc ... something sounds a little burly....suttle
Can You build me a pedalboard?
Watch our video on pedalboard rig builders around the world to find one near you that does this professionally! So many great options!
I’ll never understand Isaiah using your services.
why?

@@Utubesup7890what’s wrong with it?
