"Tastes like strawberries on a summer evenin' And it sounds just like a song I want more berries and that summer feelin' It's so wonderful and warm" Love your setup, and your cable discipline 🙂
Great video. I love the style of your videos. You have an awesome board that’s simple yet, very effective/versatile. You just gained a subscriber and a like
@@rickyrayreid Nothing particular. I'm considering buying a G3 but the videos on youtube are always pretty vague. It only shows what was done and not how to do it. For example: is it possible to use midi in the hidden preset? Is it possible to have it send a PC/CC when it triggers it and another PC/CC when it exits it?
@@richardwagner11 Yessir! It acts as a normal preset (just without switching banks) and you can have all the midi changes you want every time you enter/exit a hidden preset. The Gigrig G3 has been the most flexible/Easy switcher I've used, especially compared to the Boss ES-8
Great video, thanks! I’ve been looking for a similar sized board with the hinged top layer. Would love to know what brand that is or where I could get one? 😊
Hey Mel! Thank you for watching! This is the Vertex Travel Plus! It has been a great board BUT here are some of my gripes (that I feel would make it peeerfect) I also believe they may be discontinued now. 1. If you’re going to use a switcher the tiered riser has a “flange” on it for support that blocks the “input” of a switcher. So you aren’t able to use a cable into it. Which is why my switcher is situated more to the left. Which is a minor annoyance, but not too bad! Just something to think about! 2. The height of the riser maybe needs to be about 1/2” or 1” higher. If you mount your power supply, like I do with the Cioks, the power supply will move some knobs around or not shut completely. Once again minor, but something to look out for ESPECIALLY since Cioks power supplies are on the thinner side anyway. So if you go with something else you may run into a bigger issue where you can’t even fit a pedal below the hinge. 3. The available cases. This was my biggest issue, finding a form fitting case. I bought the hardshell seahorse case they recommend for fitting on the site and it worked great, but doubles the whole pedalboard in thickness…which to me defeats the purpose of the board. I want something compact and “travel” 🤣 soooo what I’m using now is the “mono rail” *gigbag ONLY. It has a close depth but I had to go up in size to the medium so it leaves a lot of wiggle room. That being said I took it on an international flight and it performed flawlessly so I wouldn’t even go for a hardshell case! Conclusion: If I were to do it Alllllllll over again I would save up double and get a Schmidt Array board. A ton of pros use them, seems incredibly sturdy, customizable and comes with a form fitting lid that retains its “slimness” and all that stuff! Hope this was helpful and let me know if you have any questions! -Ricky
You should really try the strymon pedals in the g3 since you have the loops available. Parallel reverb and delay isy favorite trick. Having them isolated and not running into one another (while still having that option) makes for massive wet effects. You can really easily set up a wet/dry or wet/dry/wet since younhave a lot of stereo options with the strymon pedals
I have some more cable comin in this week so I’ll give it a shot! I typically run mod/delays/reverbs in series but I know running in parallel could make them sound super clean. I’ll post a video once I get it up and runnin!
Thanks man! I’ve actually just adopted the volume knob approach…after 20 years 🤣 All the volume pots on my guitars have the “treble bleed” mod so when I roll down the volume it retains the brightness and then saves me space on the board!
You know…I’m starting to agree with ya! If I didn’t have them already I would most likely switch to chase bliss pedals for delay and reverb, then get the new H90 by eventide. How about you? What do you feel is your favorite in the delay, reverb, and modulation world now?
@@rickyrayreid I say out dated not just because of the algorithm sir but look at the SIZE of those beasts! I sold my big sky for a cloudburst when that came out. For delay I like analog stuff so I use a DM-2 by waza craft. I don't like, or need 15 delays, I just want one good one, same with reverb. For modulation I like classic univibes but I actually found one I LOVE and it is the drybell vibe v3. Check that thing out if you love classic vibe tones.
@@GearSounds I totally agree with ya on size. Way too big now! That’s why I would gravitate toward the chase bliss stuff now. Oooo yeah! The cloudburst is incredible (from the demos I’ve heard) and the form factor is perfect! I have haven’t heard of the Drybell but I’ll check it out now!
Hey man! Thanks for the Question! I have a few reasons why I personally do this: 1.I don't change the order of the Strymon pedals as far as the chain goes. Always modulation (chorus, vibrato,funky stuff...) into Delay(Timeline), then into the Reverb (BigSky). BUT if I were to move them around then I would toss them into the loops for easy moving! 2. I never plan on running the Strymon Delays/Reverbs in "parallel" but always in "series" (so one right after another). 3. Its double the Connectors and Cables. If I run them into each other it's 4 connectors per pedal. So 4 in/out of the mobius, 4 in/out of the timeline, and 2 in/out of the Bigsky. If I run them into the Switcher (especially in stereo) I double all those things! It'd end up being 8 connectors per pedal. So 4 in/out of the Switcher and 4 in/out of each Strymon. With longer cable runs. This would also take up half of the loops available on the switcher. So currently its only 10 connectors and 6 cables vs 24 connectors and 12 cable runs to run to the switcher. Makes for a much cleaner look and less things to go wrong! ((1 connector is $3.79, so 10=37.90; 24=90.96) SAVES THAT MOOLAH$$$ 4. The Buffers on each Strymon pedal are high quality so I won't be losing any high end daisy chaining them together and going OUT of the Bigsky at the end Buffers the cable to retain the high end to an Amp or DI! Hope this made sense of my madness! Thanks for the great question!
Thanks for your comprehensive response. So you use the midi CC functions to activate or deactivate a Strymon pedal? I have almost the same hardware and your answer helps me redefine my pedalbaord. Thank you so much!@@rickyrayreid
@@ericsf4217 exactly! Since you can use the midi cc message #102 (then cc note 0 for “off” and 127 for “on”) then you can control if it’s on/off/in/out of your chain! Saves a ton cable and just takes an extra midi command!

Bwahahaha YES you got it!
Thanks for the kind words! The cabling is kinda like legos to me!
My BEST Pedalboard Yet ==> The BEST Pedalboard Yet!! Well done bro, I feel a little jealous but you did a very very good job!
Thank ya man! Appreciate the comment!
super dope board and crazy good tones. Love the rest of your vids too, keep at it! liked and subbed 👍🏼
Appreciate that a ton man! Thank ya!

Thanks so much for the kind words! Let me know if there’s any specific content you’d like to see!
Nice board! Some great tones in there.
Thanks man! Much appreciated!
You have some good stuff buddy kudos man 😎👍👋👋💯🎸🎸
Thanks man!
Great setup! Subscribed 👍
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
Very cool video !!!
It would be interesting if you showed how to make these settings in G3.
Thanks man! I can absolutely do that! Anything in particular you would want me to go over?

One of the best boards I've ever seen!! But what do you do for a volume pedal?
Thanks man! I’ve actually just adopted the volume knob approach…after 20 years 🤣
All the volume pots on my guitars have the “treble bleed” mod so when I roll down the volume it retains the brightness and then saves me space on the board!
My hot take, the strymon trifecta is out dated. Excellent playing on this demo though and the pedalboard sounds amazing.
You know…I’m starting to agree with ya! If I didn’t have them already I would most likely switch to chase bliss pedals for delay and reverb, then get the new H90 by eventide.

Why not put the pedals separately in the different loops of the Girig G3? Like strymon pedals for example...
