We often get asked about our personal guitars and amps that crop up on That Pedal Show, so this series/playlist seeks to answer some of the more common questions.
In this video Dan talks about a relatively recent (2017) addition to the Steinhardt Guitar Family, the Fender Ed O’Brien EOB Sustainer Stratocaster. Ed is of course one of the guitar players in legendary/pioneering/uber famous band, Radiohead, within which he creates incredible sonic textures that are fundamental to their often otherworldly, ethereal sound. (And yes, Dan builds Ed's pedalboard and consults on his rig).
We’d strongly urge you to also watch Fender’s awesome video on Ed and the guitar, as much for the info and insight as the inspiring cinematography. Go here for that… • The Ed O'Brien Sustain...
Dan is playing through a 1961 Vox AC30 (Celestion Alnico Blue speakers) and a Marshall 1987x 50-watt Plexi reissue (Celestion G12H Anniversary speakers), running together.

How about an episode on sustainers, Ebows, actual bows and the EHX Freeze?
I have a Freeze to send over for demonstration purposes
What he said... :)
Oh Yeah! Don't forget the Freqout (c'est chicout)
+1 on that. Good to see something with the Cali 76 and/or Sliderig, to do a comparison against normal compression/sustain.
SECONDED
Nigel Tufnel: The sustain, listen to it.
Marty DiBergi: I don't hear anything.
Nigel Tufnel: Well you would though, if it were playing.
+Richard Amidon haha
3:48 that genuinely made me cry, the scream it made
Beautiful
It's wonderful to see you holding a Strat with such a big smile, Dan. I've heard the '64 Strat story before and it's just heartbreaking.
"Ed is THE guitar player in Radiohead".
Haha, well that's kind of nice to hear since Jonny and Thom do seem to get all the attention ;)
Micah Buzan Ed is the out and out guitar player. Thom plays piano, guitar, electronics and writes the songs - Ed’s own words.
Jonny does the emphasis parts on guitar, plays keyboards, electrics and does the orchestration on the tracks.
You need to hear Thom play Clocks solo to hear how good he is. - on stage he adds the acoustic elements.
Ed is awesome. One key that gets missed about it being a Mexican body etc was because ED wanted it to be cheaper so it wasn’t as restrictive a price range for younger, less well of players. He basically told Fender I want it affordable, so he pegged it personally to the £1000 mark.
Signature models for all others add about £1000 just because of the name
@@AngelicusImmortusand that’s why he’s the goat!!!
Can't wait to see Ed on here, talking about gear and showing us guitar mortals how to make all those beautiful twisting ambient loops! Cheers
Radio-Friendly Unit Shifter Looks like your dream came true!
I bought mine as soon as it was available, UNBELIEVABLE guitar. I LOVE IT!!
Fender is doing so much cool stuff lately.
Ok Computer melted my head, too. It is the standard by which I measure all other Radiohead records.
Yes sir!! Just ordered one my self! :D any chance you will have Ed o'brien on the show some time? :) also, maybe an ambient sound episode? :D Cheers guys, from Denmark
+Thomas Nissen hi Thomas, yes, early in the new year with any luck :)
That Pedal Show yesssss!! You guys are the best!! :) :)
Dejligt med andre Danskere som er vilde med ambient musik :)
100% enig! :)
Rabea for that is also awesome
I'm stunned. STUNNED. A beautiful and killer sounding "not very expensive" instrument. Fits you quite nicely too.
You nailed Radiohead’s influence in what you said . Us 40ish types that were molded by alt music in the 90s had a bond with ok computer it was more than music .still is actually it’s just more.
Great video .thanks for long form content that’s enjoyable.
@2:02 "Listen to it, the sustain." [I don't hear anything.] "Well you would though, ... if it were playing."
Wow, that is really cool that it was given to you by Ed. Will you guys also do a video on Dan's pedalboard like you did for Mick's?
What a lovely guitar... You deserve it Dan, may it bring you a lifetime of joy and awesome sounds!
Cheers from Croatia!
I wonder if we'll ever get a Johnny Greenwood signature Tele.
That'd be the shit
Or a Thom Yorke signature JM with matching headstock
Radio-Friendly Unit Shifter gotta admit that I didn't know Yorke was that easily associated with jazzmasters!
He's been playing Jazzmasters since the OK Computer recordings, but he's also well-known for playing an SG and an early 60s Epiphone 335-style.
So just a American 1990 Telecaster Plus with a killswitch?
I got mine yesterday, it’s a great guitar and the sustainer makes it totally inspirational
Best demonstration of the Ed O'Brien Strat on TH-cam.
+Dustin Mitchell ah, cheers Dustin ;)
With out a doubt my favorite Fender Strat of all time. I recommend watching the video with Jonny Kinkead on the setup with this guitar. Extremely knowledgeable about guitar setups.
this guitar is soooo freakin amazing
Sounds incredible. Even the chord work starting around 7:06 sounds amazing....rich and articulate. Love That Pedal Show!
+Ron Sheppard cheers Ron :)
Thanks for sharing Dan. FYI - I prefer this type of video so much more than the Pick-N-Mix series.
I just played on of these and that neck really is big! I’d never played a Fender with a neck that big.
The tele king adds a strat to his family! Congrats Dan, love the show.
Cheers,
AL
That episode on strings made me experiment with different strings on different guitars. Changed quite a lot of things about the way I sound and play etc.. I am indebted.
totally feel free to make ed's episode 2-3 hours long nooo worries there ;)
seriously though would love to see him go through some of the uses/applications of different delays he's used over the years (dd5, dmm, etc) and cannot wait for that episode!
Bit of a Nigel Tufnel "the sustain, just listen to it" moment there
I can really tell Dan has an emotional attachment to that guitar. Inspiring video!
+Boxcar Stewart yeah, having so much fun playing it ;)
You guys have a really special narrative that reaches way beyond the gear - although you dive deep enough into that stuff too. Very special. All the best, cheers!
P.S. A strat from Ed O'Brian - where can you go from there!
Love that cristal clear sustain, feels like perfect stainless ice (well, in my mind)
Really like your playing today.
Guitar sounds amazing and looks amazing.
+reginald laville ah, cheers Reg :)
Congratulations Dan! Beautiful guitar and even better friends! Cheers!
This looks to be a very versatile guitar. I’m a church musician and today we are basically cover bands; we might do a hymn and I️ pick up my classical, then strum on an acoustic if there are parts, and recently many uses for ambient electric sounds, I️ think inspired by Radiohead, are popping up - and yes that Guitar might be my next. But taking versatility in another direction, you might guess I️ really would jump at an excellent acoustic simulation and the question of 12 string electric, piezo, or pedals to get me there. I’m not all that good so the pretension of getting 3 guitars on stands seems out of place. Of course I️ went down the dark road of digital but learned I️ seek a more dynamic sound. This program has been huge for me, so thanks. But maybe you can think to deal with the acoustic electric switcheroo I️ do every Sunday.
HEY DAN! i know this is your video and i think you will like this too but this is for mick i have found THE BEST TS STYLE PEDAL EVER MADE!!! i know you have heard of hudson electronics you have played and loved the broadcast overdrive well i give you the......................HUDSON SIDECAR! it has a TS style front end with germanium clipping with active bass and treble controls so you can boost or cut both and it has a lot more gain to it will go into fuzz like sounds at full gain.BUT the best thing for me was it gave me the best p. sayce like sounds i have ever got.i was so pumped after playing it i called my mum! she didn't know what i was on about but i just had to tell everybody i know.KILLER PEDAL!!!
0:32 Why didn`t you honk the horn?!
I actually am the Nigel Tufnel, sum Fripp/Belew using an ebow for 25, and now with a Fernades Guitar. I can actually metal with this, but I more of an ambient guy.
Dan points out that the sustainer still functions when not plugged into an amp (yet the strat remains plugged in). Please clarify, if this strat is not plugged in to an amp and the sustainer is on, will you hear the sustainer functioning anyway “acoustically”?
Yes you will. It won't be amplified (since its not plugged in) but you will see/hear/feel the sustainer doing what it does.
Very cool 👌 love it! Awesome stuff! Thanks for all the good input 😊
Love the spec of this guitar Dan. The 56 neck is a winner for me. My next purchase is gonna be one of these instruments. Love it!!!
I'm sorry to hear that you were a victim of theft, Dan, especially of a dearly beloved instrument. I've been the victim of theft, too. It really stings. But, to quote Tennyson, "'Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all."
This felt like the happiest episode of intervention with the black screens and sad music.
Very interesting strat!!!!!!!!!!
Daniel Lanois talked about the invention of the sustainer many years ago. He had the two prototypes and gave one of them to the edge.They called it the "inifinate guitar". The result was the song "with or without you". In the song there is a nice combination of sustainer and shimmer.
The Edge now uses the Ed O'Brian strat, too.
WoW - that guitar sure changes the style of your playing - more fun there than pedals !
+Gerry Loughran it’s sooo much fun
Omg Dan, your tone truly is something to behold! And boy do you make it sing! Please do update with the vear you used; that was killer! Especially at 5:15 and onwards
It sounded like an old vox on 10
AC30 OR SOMETHING
that bridgepick up w gain sounds vicious, thats a humbucker shaped like single that can be split?
+sean paul lampon It’s a Seymour Duncan JB Junior. It can’t be split as standard. Cheers!
cool,thanks. ive seen them on guitars for a while, where splitting seems like a newer thing.(last 10 years?)
Ed mentioned that single coild bridge pickups tend to squeal horribly when the sustainer is on. That's probably the reason why there's no coil splitting function as it would confuse some people.
isn't it split in position 4, for one side of the JB Jr + the middle pup in parallel?
If you use it in a video can you claim the VAT back?
"It's not an expensive guitar"
"It retails for about a thousand pounds"
Woah, we seem to have some differing definitions there :D Killer guitar though, definitely worth the money.
Zaronion I assume he's referring to other signatures, which can go for around 2,000 sometimes
Even so...
+Zaronion Ahem. Context I guess (Mick here). Custom Shop Fenders and Gibsons are now 3-5k+, and we tend to be around those guitars a lot - vintage guitars too - through our own instruments and dealing with artists. Apologies if the comment caused offence!
Oh, I'm in no way offended, don't worry. It's just that I always have a bit of a giggle when I hear people refer to >1000 pounds as "inexpensive" ;)
Zaronion I'm sure the same thing happens when people to refer to $200 guitars as cheap to people who are homeless and have nothing.
One of the best purchases I have ever made!!!!
Super rad! Couldn’t have been gifted to a nicer guy. It’s awesome to see Fender stepping out and offering a super unique spec’d Strat.
I wonder whether we'll see The Edge using one for With Or Without You.....??
Yeah right on! That would be a perfect application.
Is it weird that my immediate reaction is "where can I get that sustainer pickup on its own, to put into several other guitars"? Do they sell the pickup by itself, or only in the signature strat?
Fernandes makes and sells sustainer pickups, have a quick rummage through Reverb or Ebay you'll find them.
Are they similar in sound to this though? I especially like that it's a "strat-y" sustain.
Rob Flax Pretty sure Fernandes hold the patent for the sustainer. So I believe they're the only ones who make them, meaning you should be able to get that exact one. I think, not sure though.
My question was more like how to get that without buying another strat
+ Rob Flax - Like Sam Anderson said, they're available through Reverb and eBay, and you can get a humbucker style too. However, they require a 9 volt battery, so installation is not so straightforward as simply replacing your existing pup.
I love Sustainer technology! It can be used in so many different ways - but my favorite is with high gain to enable an extended note paint brush to melodic metal that doesn't compromise staccato notes.
+Mike Foss interesting, cheers Mike
Hey guys!
can you do treble and mid booster shootout!?Cheers
Absolutely awesome...Aw man sorry about the old Strat that got stolen I can relate I had an original red FF that got stolen and haven't liked a single fuzz pedal I've tried since then Hopefully one of these days soon OR pluck out close to 2K for an original before their all gone Cheers Dan
Way to go Daniel - did you at least have Ed sign it "for real" on the headstock? I agree about strings, after your program about strings I decided to go to 9's on my 25.5" scale guitars and should have done 10 years ago. I have arthritis as I get older and now my hands don't ache all night after playing, and they are way twangy too - LOVE IT!
5:16 what you doing there lol
I’m getting one 😀
Hey Dan, I recently bought a EOB Strat. Loving it! My quetion is about batteries. Mine drain quite quickly. I was wondering if you have played with the strength of the sustainer pickup for better battery life? Currently I do use rechargeable 9v batteries, but they still go quickly.....Any suggestions?? Or does all that tone simply come at a price?
Hope you figured it out, but you likely need to unplug the guitar, at least that's the case with active pickups. If not, may just need to remove the battery after sessions
Batteries last about a week for me. I've just accepted that I need to replace them often, I wouldn't turn down the strength of the sustainer pickup.
I just tried one and I loved it! Extra amazing that yours was a gift from Ed himself! You mentioned that it ships with 9 gauge strings- and that you swapped them for 11's- what (apart from the normal set-up- intonation, etc.) needs to be changed to properly accommodate 11's (which is what I also play). Does the nut need to be changed?
I`m totally GAS-ing for this guitar!
You guys should do an episode on pickup outputs....overwound, underwound and the sounds.
Damn it Dan, get him on the show!
So happy for you! Enjoy it in good health :)
How does the sound of the front pickup (when the sustaining feature is disabled) compared to the average normal strat neck pickup? Also how are you digging the JB in the bridge vs either a single coil strat pickup (or tele) or a normal full sized humbucker? keep up the great work!
Any chance of an episode where you compare different speakers, alnico, ceramic, vintage vs newer reissues and how this impacts on pedal, amp and cabinet decisions? Enjoy the shows a lot, thanks.
+Colm Rogan Lots of people asking for this. There are soooooo many variables it’s really hard to know where to begin. It needs a series really. Hmmmmmm
Hi Dan, is that a Seymour Duncan JBJ in the bridge position?
+Kevin Yep. Cheers!
Love my EOB but Im finding that the bottom E resonants a lot more than the rest of the strings on my setup. Can anyone offer any advice on how a can set up my EOB properly to stop this uneven resonance on the lower string? I havent really changed the out of the box setup. Please help.
Sounds like you need to change the pickup height it may just be too high but if its just the low strings strats traditionally have the bass side on the pickup lower than the treble
It would be an amazing guitar for a Kasvot Vaxt cover band.
Any word if they will release new colors ? And say a builder goes and paints one, could the electronics be a tricky problem to put back in place (considering the sustainer) ?
Damn Dan! That sounds like a record!!!
Can you remember what pedal Dan is using at 5:10? Really like the tone but i am not that experienced in pedals. Thanks in advance
I would really like one of these...
Dan, please don’t put your red telecaster in the corner and forget about it since acquiring this new guitar. We love the telecaster even though this one does sound good as well! Ha ha
Man that is a beautiful guitar
I've waiting so long to see you play a strat! You make it sing!!!!!!!
+Anthony Lozano ah, cheers mate
What happened to this guitar? I haven't seen it on the show since this video.
Hmm, it was on last week wasn’t it?
Can you please tell me the individual saddle sizes? I need to replace one of them but can't find the info on the spec sheet (I only see the fret size listed).
If someone can vouch if this is a full on strat I am gonna buy it this Easter. Does it have a the usual strat neck pickup jangle, 4th position chime, 2nd position quack (like Sultans of Swing) and bridge pickup bite/twang for country? I am looking to buy this strictly for clean stuff and to play just one song using the sustainer (U2 WOWY) as I already have a Les Paul for more heavy work. Please don't recommend an Ebow as it's clumsy and I dont like Fernandes guitars. What I need is a full on Fender Strat that sounds like a usual strat with the sustainer system already installed.
I think this is the only guitar that will tick all your boxes without any modding. If you only need the sustainer for one song, and don't plan to use it much otherwise, you might be better off getting a pedal for sustain and harmonic shifting (since you're opposed to the e-bow) and using another guitar that can you you the single coil chime you're looking for, this is humbucker single humbucker, so you get a little quack and chime but its still pretty thick sounding overall because of the two humbuckers.
I like everything about this guitar... I want it
+UkeliDokeli me too, I’m delighted with it
So weird to see Dan with a strat. What's next? Mick with a tele? :D
+Tuomas Raatikainen Yep!
Absolutely love Radiohead! This was an awesome video to watch. Only a matter of time before you start working with Jonny Greenwood eh? ;)
So did they do a one off in silver for The Edge?
It would have been nice for some explanation on how the sustainer works, it settings and what the switches do. A video just on the sustainer would be great. Love the guitar though, I already want one!
Arthur & Pippa's Vlogs the sustainer uses the bridge and neck pickups to create a magnetic field that keeps whatever notes you’re playing ringing out. The switches are on/off, and fundamental/harmonic/blend. The rear tone knob on the strat is replaced by a sustainer intensity knob.
Thanks. I knew the bit about the magnetic resonance but I am interested in what the knobs & switches do sound wise. Let's hope for a more detailed look at it from the Pedal Show.
I see you with those chords from ‘People Who Eat Darkness’ Dan! Haha
It'd be great if you could do a sound comparison between the EOB and Mick's strat.
Hasn't Dan previously said that he owned a strat which unfortunately was stolen, and as a result he could never bring himself to having another? Well in case Two Rock should read this and are feeling magnanimous, I unfortunately lost a studio 20, and have never properly gotten over it
Wow- you guys are on this new axe fast. Love to see you guys test out the new electro harmonix mig50 - esp. if you could get your hands on an older sovtek for comparison.
You really need to play this in more tps episodes. Mick can play his PRS or 335 for a couple shows.
Very very cool indeed!
I would love to see a show on in guitar effects like the black ice ovedrive mod or other effects and maybe the use of piezo bridges in electric guitars.
sounds killer Dan!
How does the Fernandes Sustainer pickup sound when solely acting as a neck pickup? How does that sound compare to a Sustainiac?
May I ask what adjustment Mick did to the bridge to help with tuning issues?
so the Sustainer also functions as a normal neck pickup?
abnzg yes
No. Or at least not if if functions like a sustainiac. It generates a magnetic field which acts on the strings to keep them vibrating. Kind of like an invisible electronic pick. That's why you need the battery.
yes, it needs a battery, but the neck pickup works on its own if you down turn the sustainer on.
@@fletches4084 It works as a regular pickup when the sustainer is off. When the sustainer pickup is one the guitar will always use the bridge pickup.
I’m not a Radiohead fan but that guitar is stunning! Nice video cheers Dan
+Andy Reynolds Cheers Andy, yep, I’m delighted with this guitar
This is my ideal guitar. I've just found it. Love EOB. Love TPS. Better keep buying those lottery tickets....
Aw man that jb jr sounds amazing! Would it be sacrilegious if I put one in the bridge of my cs56 strat?
I'm sure you have a tons of comments, but I have this guitar and was hoping maybe you could tell me how you balanced the pickups. Would greatly appreciate some specs. I'm just having trouble with the bridge pickup, SD JR, being way too bright and shrill. Thank you
Would love to see you guys mess about with the Eventide Space
Y'know, I think that guitar's awesome, y'know.
What's the drive sound at the start, it's lovely and thick even through iPhone speakers!
I'm surprised that Dan didn't go for the Jeff Beck strat. You know, high output pickups and all that. And whack that through a Klon C and see what happens!
That drive tone from 05:30 is sick! Love it, how did you dial it in? Was it an amp distortion, pedals, combination of both? Please share as I am really digging it. Keep on rocking!
+Mateusz Bućkun It was pedals pushing the amp. Amps set fairly clean though. I’ll get a list of the pedals (Mick here....)
+Mateusz Bućkun Hello again! I just checked. Definitely the Analogman Sun Face NKT Red Dot. Might be a Bad Bob Booster as well. Cheers!
Thanks guys!
