I’m proud to say I haven’t changed my pedalboard for almost 3 weeks! WINNING!
Call Yourself a guitarist 😁
Congrats!
You’re a UNICORN!!!😂
Two days.
One day at a time.
Thanks bro.
Those are rookie numbers. You need to get those up. I myself change my pedalboard at least three times a day.
You win the most gain stages on a pedalboard award!
In all seriousness great build and as always great tone and playing.
great pedalboard, great rundown. Awesome playing!
Great setup there Chris! Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Great video as usual along with your amazing tone and playing!
Love it, thanks for sharing! Great music and killer playing as always.
Always a good day when CB uploads a new videos.
Whatever you're doing it sounds great!
You're awesome I love the pedals!
Stunning !!
Love your solos man... so musical... really great! Your singer loves listening to your solos also! He's over there just smiling away... probably thinking, "Damn... f'n guy is so good!" Cheers!
Your gig, your sound..!! Your sound and your playing are becoming so recognisable and giving you and the band your own identity. The sound you get is awesome...thanks for sharing your trade secrets!!😅👍
I agree... Chris is one of the most distinctive sounding guitarists today...one of most expressive too.
That was really nice playing man ! specially your bends sound really awesome and many times as if it is singing XD ,
Great walk through of the new board Chris, look forward to hearing the new song the UAD pedal has inspired. Your tone & playing are absolutely first class!! Love the way you play for the song and not just to show off, which with your talent we’d all love to do!!
Soooo good
Perfection in pedalboard form! 👌
For your wah pedal, installing a Foxrox wah retrofit on the output will add an internal trimpot to adjust output volume. It also let me use my crybaby with my analogman fuzz without constant squealing.
Thanks for the tone tour!
That last solo was EPIC!! I can't believe how well you bend and the fluidity of your playing. As for the pedal board, it only makes sense because you can play like that and you know what you want to hear. So, whatever tools it takes to achieve that sound are necessary. Rock on Chris!
Speaking of "said no one ever" - how about a bass compliment on a Chris Buck vid? Love that harmonic playing on Jump In! Hats off to those less string guys!
So rad! 👏👏👏
My lord Chris, that playing at the beginning is a scorcher! Wow son! and yes exactly, we never ever complete our boards..lol,,it is a never ending, always changing thing and it could make a good metaphor for life really! lol Thank you for showing us your pedalboard, it is awesome!
Congrats. I just finished my monster board after 2 years of planning. But tempted to buy your G2 and start again...
Very interesting..
Only an amazing player like Chris could pull off all those gain stages and delay/echo variations.
Guitar sounds incredible!
Superb pedalboard.only for the master.🌹👍🙏🙏🎸🎸🌹❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
No need to justify anything Chris. If this set up inspires that amazing playing of yours, by all means go for it🤘
I’ve got a good idea what that pedal is 😝 can’t wait to hear more about it
I love that Revstar, awesome…
Just a thought: if you can free up one loop on G3 you could insert the wah and use the built in pre or post gain feature to even up the output.
Great video as always, you're a real inspiration. 👍👍
Great solution! I went for the guts of the beast. This has Pro - don't need an external device to moderate gain, Con - my sometimes dodgy solder skills. Ow. That's a bit hot - so could frag the wah...
What are the pros and cons of your simple but excellent solution?
@@metatoneband Well, the pros are that you can either lower the gain at pre or post to balance the signal, or even bump the pre gain to hit a pedal harder to get it sounding dirtier, and then lower the post to match level.
The con is that there are only 10 loops on the back of G2 & G3, so if you have more than 10 pedals you have to either gang several pedals up in one loop, have them in line before the switcher's input. or run them after the output, or a combination of both.
There is also a volume pedal insert loop which is moveable to be after any other of the first 8 loops.
I have a G2, they are extremely versatile switching units they're expensive, but the features really are worth every penny. The switching options give you a real wealth of choice.
That Yamaha sounds killing!
🖖
I think the best thing about the G3 is the fact you can rearrange/reorder the signal path of your loops.
I'm using an OC10W by one control... very good... but I definetly want G3.
That's a looooooong soooolo Chris😮🎉🎉🎉
Chris, Oh my God dude....obviously I'm a huge fan and am so appreciative of the inspiration you provide for my own playing, but damn....you absolutely nailed the "Warm Love" solo with a very welcomed new flavor to a familiar phrasing that is unmistakably "Chris Buck" Love you man, so glad to see you moving up the ranks towards "Legend" status....Rock and Roll baby....gonna go pick up my axe now haha
That new Thorpy pedal, can’t wait
Love all the Mythos appreciation in here! I love my Wildwood Mjolnir and think they make some great stuff
Mythos are awesome! Like an idiot though I sold my Herculean v2 pedal and I wish I hadn’t!
Just played a gig last Saturday night with my oversized pedalboard. I like the compactness of Chris's board, nice and neat. Mine is as long as a guitar case but wider, two man lift. Chris has almost as many pedals in a much smaller space! - Love MIDI stuff, everything switches in or out, all in the right program, it's a must have utility with a big board. The Source Audio EQ2 is a powerhouse of utility with a MIDI set up, from quiet guitar or amp switching to controlling volume, wah stuff, compressor/limiter, mixer, EQ, tremelos, boost or other routing oddities. With MIDI it's just super useful. Almost unbelievable function.
You had me at those cool boots.
You could play with a tennis racket and cardboard box.and still sound great my friend 👌👌
Not a tennis racquet. I don't think I could cope with all the grunting. 😂
Quality! It sure sounded good at Chepstow 😎 Sounds like Thorpy has a few new pedals coming out soon, perhaps this (Lightning?) drive & boost will be amongst them!
Respect to another true TPS Tone acolyte, but more than that just a f#&$in legend of tone who cuts his own path
Chris be you, no apologies for what you need in your board.
On the wah pedal issue , Joe gagan does great wahs and mods and will customize a wah to your liking , maybe see if he can help, also I finally decided to go with the rmc 10 it’s the best wah I have tried and has that midrange bump you speak of but without the gain, maybe check one out, keep up the great work you are a modern guitar god buddy!
The xotic fx wah can be dialled in to sound like the slash wah but with more control of output 👌
I’d love to hear more about the Cali76 location in the signal chain, after all gain instead of before!
“Your gig, your choice”. This!
I have a Golden Fleece, epic little box an all timer pedal, and I've never had issues with things in front. It's sort of in the middle of my signal and sounds great. Which I can't do with my other fuzz. But I do wonder what issues Chris has had because it's antithetical to my own.
The gigrig 3 can adjust the level per pedal I believe, and that would fix the wah problem.
Until next weeks dream
Hi Chris, you have 3 options for that wah and I'll order them from least to most invasive. 1) work it into a G3 loop and use the loop pre- / post- vol levels 2) simple resistor addition on the output. You'll want to get it on a scope and match input to output gain level then solder in the correct value in line with the signal to the output jack 3) change the transistors out for lower gain equivalents. I'd be happy to help but I'm in the US! If you don't mind shipping it, hit me up
I'm sure Dan from That pedal show would be happy to do the Wah mod, and be sympathetic to not affecting the tone in anyway.
I was gonna suggest the same!
I have a feeling you would sound great chris with whatever set up you are using. You definitely inspire so many people to pick up the guitar and play. Although some of the other young players these days are definitely great , I won’t mention any names but they play a million notes a minute and really have no musicality to their songs and it gets real boring fast. You can play fast if you want, or have that incredible feel and harmony to your playing that to me is just amazing. EVH was fast back in the day yes but what he was even better at for me was his rhythm playing was second to non. I love how you found your own style. A lot of players would kill for that brother. Amazing as usual. Rock on brother!
Thank you for playing a squire jazzmaster. I’m often good-natured laughed at by my buds for playing one but I love it more than my custom shop strat after I changed pickups.
I am so looking at these. They look good too.
@@trebleboost7 they are fantastic
Is the Dunlap 535Q vari wah something you've tried before? I picked it up to try'n minimize the volume differences when using a wah.
Air Lane Drive is killer
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Chris. What did you ultimately decide on for a case for your board? I, too, have an SA550XDM and would love to know what you settled on. I remember you talking about a Pelican case but in this video it looks like you had a more traditional road case (perhaps the Schmidt Array case). Please let me know what you settled on and if you’re able to fly with it.
Thanks Man!
On the Wah-Wah modification: I have no clue whether he does any mods, but did you check with Stu Castledine? He is producing his own Wahs and is from UK, too…
You can go to Mars with that
Joe gagan is the wah wah guru/ master here in the states. I'm sure he could do whatever you need done.
Try Venus Witch for your "whacka whacka" needs. Hope all's well. Cheers.
I'm curious to know what your bass player is using - that tone is great.
Could you attenuate the wah with a JHS little black box or a boost pedal turned down below unity gain?
I would like to hear you just super reverb and one overdrive / boost...somehow I think the sound and playing might go up a level still
That Thorpy pedal better be called «The Buck»! If not, it’s a missed oppertunity😄
"...said no ever." 😎
How do you get around signal loss on the HX stomp XL? Recently tried one and seemed to kill my input signal when adding it to my chain, even with the volume on maximum. Really keen to integrate open of these into my rig
My wallet says my pedalboard is perfect.
😂
Finally Lukather gets a mention on Fretworks ha ha
I thought the G3 has individual input/output gain. If you can get your wah in one of the loops you can cut the output down. Just a thought. I also thought it has buffers, so the first pedal you have is redundant. 🤷
For anyone wanting to reduce the volume of their wah. It’s just putting a 100k pot in between the pcb output and the footswitch. (Refer to any guitar pedal build diagram to see how it’s wired. I’d recommend a 100kB as you don’t want a drastic volume drop) Something that any tech could do or any friend who has built a guitar pedal or two.
Just shows just how much you REALLY need to know your gear to build a board like this. I am lazy and have gone the Helix route. But then I am not a professional touring / recording guitarist. Give it 6 months Chris and you will be on the pedal show again with Dan saying "well what i would do is....have you thought about" 😂😂
Great video and playing as always!
Question, I just noticed in one of the playing examples it lists the chain of effects and, if I'm not mistaken, you're only playing into your amps return, bypassing the preamp; is this something you and others commonly do, and what are some of the pros and cons?
I've been playing this way for most of my 20ish years on guitar, I had a vox tonelab prior to my helix and have almost always just ran direct into the return on my solid state Yamaha 100W 1x12(crystal clear and transparent).
Oddly, I used to get a lot of compliments on my sound *until* someone would actually see my signal chain, at which point they would do a complete 180 and turn their nose up at such an unorthodox approach.
Sorry, R.I refers to 'Reissue' in this case :)
Don't you love it when the "sheep" can't think with their ears? What's your Yamaha amp? My first was a G100 212 Mk3 from the 80s. It was the best ss amp I've ever heard/owned.
@@castleanthrax1833 G100 1x12 III(I assume that's a mark 3). So yeah, same amp half the speakers. And yeah, the clean is unbelievable. I've even managed to get some decent dirty sounds on the drive channel. Gotta love the parametric eq and the reverb is great as well.
@ghost79ish Very nice. That was a sad day when I had to sell mine. The build quality alone was awesome. ✌️🇦🇺
Chris, how heavy is your pedalboard?
Because I have been considering ordering the same model for a while but I am afraid that the weight will be too heavy and too heavy to put in the hold on a plane. Congratulations Chris, your way of playing is like your pedalboard, sophisticated but captivating!
I don't see myself being able to pilot such a board haha I'd get lost every song.
In the three hours since the video has been posted, what changes have you made?
At least you are using a great guitar. Is that a double cut Gibson with P-90's in the first shot? (I see it now, wow-Yamaha) Good on ya mate! P-90's RULE!
Why do you use the hx stomp xl instead of the normal one since you have a looper switcher already?
Finished 🤣
You don’t have any tuner ? (Maybe with the HX) but were you happy with the Korg pitchblack ??
There's like 10 different overdrive pedals there!
How Ironic... I also finished my pedalboard yesterday! It's split into an A and B send to a JTM 45 and a 50W JCM 800.
A signature ThorpyFX pedal soon?? :)
Getting rid of the gain bumb in your cry baby should be much easier then adding gain. Just a matter of implementing an internal potentiometer between the output of the wah circuit and the on-off switch.
Do you find that people come to your shows because of your guitar playing or does the band hold its own as a collection effort? The band sounds like the total package of a great rhythm section, excellent singing and a pretty good guitar player :)
The band can hold their own.
They work as a complete package.
Tom's vocals are on another level
@@swampscott2670Go see them live and you’ll enjoy yourself . Great band .
I think they have some fantastic songs
@@swampscott2670what you called boring blues jam noodling most people call great music, I guess Everyone's entitled to an opinion even though some people probably shouldn't be.
@@swampscott2670 Have you listened to their album January Came Close? The answer lays within
Oh, I say it all the time. I'm always wrong, but I do say it.
Hey, so if you’re looking for a wah that won’t have the gain pump I would recommend the John Petrucci wah. It’s basically the rack mount wah that Dunlop makes but in pedal form. You can go in an tweak each frequency the wah has and get it exactly how you’d like it. I used one for a while and loved it, and the only reason I stopped is because I went digital and couldn’t fit it on the board anymore.
Also I’m not 1000% sure about this but the slash wah does have a gain boost in it that is separate from the midrange stuff. IDK why but it does
Come on, bring the pedalboard to South America
If Chris can run the Stomp for "most of" his delay needs, and also have four delay pedals, then I don't have to feel bad about having too many delay pedals. Which is 2.
I used to worry about duplicates too, but you need them if you have more than one setting you want and it's not practical to bend down and change it, or your pedals doesn't allow preset saving
Hey Chris
Yep, slash mod is in theory should be an easy enough resistor mod, possibly on the opamp. In theory. Anyone would need to look see the diagram in detail, do some maths and obtain a "safe" one to do open heart tinkering on, before a firm aye or naw!
Incidentally. As per my offer to my pal Jeff Fielder. I mutually refer you to each other and hope you caught the thread... Proper deep musical goodness in tone and touch (he was Mark Lanegan's band leader and musical director for the MoPop Alice in Chains thing the other year and a Nashville session cat)... I invite you to dig!
Anyhoo. I build pedals, from kits, for fun. Including the graphics. My board only has the following off the shelf products for dist/od/fuzz: a mz waza. As my wife bought me it as a gift.
The rest, inc expandora clone + if it's good enough for the rev! Some nasty tasty Earthquaker cops, who I have heard ENDORSE folk using their circuits. You'd have to ask Jamie.
The pinnacle is a less than well none, now defunct builder called Devi Ever. They built the most mmm mmmmm devices.
May I build you one of my choosing? At my cost and labour. Can either hand it to you next time you're here, I'm there or we could work out a po box.
It'd be October now.
Lemme know via here and your people can contact my people in the background.
Love your spirit and how you let it spill into your work.
Andy C.
High five to my fellow Revstar players
The more advanced (and more costly) reverb and delay pedals have that option, yes. You can save several different presets and recall them at the push of a footswitch. Some of them you can save quite a few.
Its finished...this time its for real.
I mean it!
😂😬😨😰😱😵😺
Interesting. I don't miss the complexity of large 4CM pedal boards, or my rack days.
For my gear these days, it's all about simplicity for me, but still has to sound good and do everything I want.
I still have my tube amps, but I have a small portable digital direct rig, and I'm working on a computer / plugin based rig.
How do you play guitar and tap dance all night
I have the feeling that the misterious pedal may be a signature OD of some kind. My resolution to not buy any other overdrive won't last long in that case.
I just want to have one pedal and that's it.
I have a Vox Amplifier .
Hey Chris, Are you running all your effects into the front of your amps? not sure if your amps have effects loops or not
Yeah, all in the front 👍🏻
@@ChrisBuckGuitar Cool thanks for the reply! hope to see you in or around Hull again sometime!
Don’t you have like three this is my best final paddleboard videos ? I do the same thing I just remember never to say this is the final board.
4:05 You should reach out to dunlop to make you a signature wah! You are more than worthy.
