Fantastic. Tone is awesome for sounding like your guitar heroes but playing the music correctly is King. That's why this channel is so good.
Brian Madden ah cheers buddy, much appreciated as always 🤘😀
Very inspiring and great tones! I recently downgraded my home studio board to a small portable rehearsal board and now I have a lot of pedals lying around. Gonna steal your pedal layout now ;)
Ah that’s great to hear you found it useful! Good luck with the pedal board, tag me on insta if you’re on that an post any pics! 😀🤘
Discovered for your channel with your 1991 pedal (which I'm on the waiting list for - pumped for that!) -- subscribed now. 90s stuff is right up my alley!
Welcome aboard and thanks for subscribing mate, glad you found the channel!
Thanks this was a great video to watch. I love seeing how pedal boards are setup
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it!
Flippin’ love your channel! Been subbed for a while now and its always mega! 🤘🏻
Jamie Plays Music ah thanks so much Jamie, appreciate it mate!
Thanks for this! I have been looking at building a grunge pedalboard and ended up with something very similar. I am struggling with the overdrives though. Any alternatives to the OCD/Odissey and BE-OD/DS1 ?
i'm sure there's loads tbh! i just haven't had chance to play much else, but the Odyssey is like a swiss army knife of tone, superb for doing many things (clean boost, low to mid gain) but i prefer the BE-OD for the high gain stuff. Really depends what amp etc you have. Loads of manufacturers do marshall in a box type pedals for the higher gain stuff. A preamp pedal may be better for you than an OCD/Odyssey, like the DOD which is great, or xotic do one....it's hard to pick one that i don't already have tho :-)
All that i need was this video! Thank you!!
Haha why thank you so much, glad you enjoyed!
@@LetsPlayAll 🤘😄
Epic as always Matt! Really digging that Archer
FACTION95 cheers! Yea it’s great with an amp set just on the edge of breakup
Great board, great video. One thing you might look into.... Michael Nielsen has a video showing the Small Box and the Dirty Shirley. Watch it. He shows how the DS is a dead on sound for Soundgarden Super Unknown album sound. He plays Limo Wreck and it is dead on. You might try the Dirty Shirley Pedal instead of the BE-OD. Other than that, and that’s by no means a knock just an observation, it’s so perfect man. Keep up the amazing work, I love every single video you make and my buddy and I used one of your videos this morning when we were jamming to learn a PJ song. As always, much love from Tulsa.
Eric Carpenter thanks Eric! Oo nice I’ll check it out, I almost got a dirty Shirley head a while back. Love Friedman amps, I tried out one a while back ina guitar shop that had a sound proofed room and it sounded massive!
Great pedalboard - you've got it all covered! Enjoy :)
Louis-Nicolas Dupuis thanks man!
Amazing board and great tone, my one and literally one suggestion would be a compressor in the front of the chain, Cali76 is amazing, and I play almost all of the same bands, gotta love being an 80's baby
Thanks man, I’ve got a great little Rothwell compressor that I use every now and again. I may need to do another one of these as my board has had a few changes since this! 🤘😀
@@LetsPlayAll Awesome, can't wait to see your new setup, love your videos.
@@NeatFreq cheers buddy!
Thank you for showing us the board man, def adding some of these pedals to my cart
No worries! It’s an older vid so I’m using some different pedals now but still a bunch of great pedals on this one!
This video is how I discovered your amazing channel! After watching your mike mccready Ten tones video with the sl drive and tumnus, I’m curious whether the odyssey pedal covers the marshall in a box tones like the sl drive does. Anyways awesome board and great playing 👍👍
Hey Chris and welcome! So the Odyssey does do an excellent amp style tone but it’s not really a Marshall voiced pedal, but if you’re after the Ten tones then stay tuned as you may be interested in a pedal that is being released very soon, should be out next month 😉🤘
I have very similar setup... the only difference is that I like the Phase 90 before the ODs.
oo nice!
Agree, always phasers before dirt
Nice board!
Cheers Tobias!
I need to get me one of those 😂
Payson Turner haha i’d recommend it for sure!
Lacks the DS-1 but it sounds great
That's an awesome pedalboard, I've been setting mine lately.
Thanks man, good fun making it!
@@LetsPlayAll Tell me something man, where are you applying the Vibe Pedal?
Thanks Matt! What were you using to play Breath towards the end? Sounded really good.
HeyMartin, and thanks to you all! Oo i think for that last section i was playing the BE-OD and then had the delay on for the octave parts just for fun! Lots more on pedals to come!
This is all the confirmation I need to sell my line 6 helix.
I just need simplicity and awesomeness like this,
I just like to rock out rather than spend hours and hours tweaking things on a computer only for it to sound like 💩 on stage.
Thank you for the inspiration 🤘
You’re welcome man, this is an old video but I’m still a fan of twiddling knobs wherever possible! 😀🤘
@Good Grief funny you should say that, updates grunge board video coming soon!
Yet another great vid in the long long range of great vids 👊🏼
Any progress on the band tour plans abroad?
BeeCee ah thanks mate appreciate it! No progress yet unfortunately, with covid we have no idea when we’ll be playing in the UK but hopefully a case of watch this space!
@@LetsPlayAll too bad but understandable. Rather we all being safe atm. Would it be an idea to post some rehersal vids on your channel?
BeeCee when we get back to rehearsing possibly mate 😀 at the moment none of us have seen each other since our last gig at the Garage in London which I think was back in March! 😔
Fantastic video!! Fantastic board!! :) Huge tones.
What pickup you have in bridge position?? :) Thanks
Thanks Hugo, it’s a Suhr SSV pup in the bridge 😀🤘
Very nice setup indeed. Rooster is an EVH flanger though. 👍
Cheers man, thanks for the info, I did read that after doing this one haha. I've got a flanger now ;-)
You should do a lesson on “Breath and a scream” definitely the guitar solo 🤙🏼
Ernest Miramontes already have a lesson for Stone’s parts 🤘😀 th-cam.com/video/lKSBQE5dSiM/w-d-xo.html haven’t sorted Mikes part yet
Let's Play All I can’t wait for you to upload Mikes part!
Ernest Miramontes bear with me, lucky to have a lot of Patreons so have a load of requests to get to first as those get priority, I’ll get to them all eventually tho🤘😊
Let's Play All No worries mate! I understand you have a life and family. Hopefully I didn’t sound like I was hurrying you. But love all your videos mate!
Great video. I have been getting back into playing guitar over the past few months and have been wanting to build a pedal board much like this. Is the order that you listed objects in the order in which they are connected? I only ask because sometimes it makes a huge difference in actual processing as I'm sure you know.
Thanks Mark, yes signal chain goes from guitar to tuner then along the bottom right to left, then into Phaser on top and again right to left (delay last in chain). Have fun!
Suhr really didn’t get too inventive with the shape of that headstock. They’re like, We’ll just make it look like an upside down shoe!
haha i actually prefer this ML version they do rather than the bird's beak :-)
Nice playing ..... how about Soundgarden? I have my own attempt at a "grunge" board too to play all my 90s faves and more (minus Pearl Jam, but I dig "Not for you"):
Crybaby Jerry Cantrell - Polytune Noir - JHS Firefly Fuzz - TS9 Mini - Big Muff Op Amp - Ecstacy Red - Phase 95 - Chorus CE-2w - A/DA Flanger PBF - Mini Vent II - Flashback 2 - Hall Of Fame Mini 2
(Currently looking out for a Friedman JJ Jr amp)
Thanks mate. Nice rig! I use the BE-OD for Soundgarden stuff, well i did back then but I may need a bigger board haha
Cool vid, I'm pretty new to pedals....is a klon really classed as a low overdrive though? If I crank my ryra the klone it screams I never really take it past 9 o clock on the gain ...but I'm not that good either lol
Thanks! Yea but it depends on your amp too, they can get a decent amount of drive! 🤘😀
I have a few suggestions if I may, how about Butterfly by Screaming Trees or Rope by Foo Fighters or Sunshower by Chris Cornell? Any one of those would be great 👍🏼
Simon Belmont hey Simon thanks for the suggestions, really must do some more foos! I’ve got a bunch of Patreon requests to get through (I’m very lucky in that there’s a lot of them now!) but I’ll add them to the list, just may be a little while before I can get to them!
Hi! Why did you change the sl drive for the be od?
And what do you do for the lead tones (include boost volume)?
TY
Hey Fabio! I’ve still got the SL drive on my live board but the BE-OD gives me those Alice in chains tones which the SL drive doesn’t. This board is just for TH-cam stuff so no need for a solo boost option 🤘
@@LetsPlayAll Nice! I appreciate your fast answer! Yu
Great video. This was like an episode of that pedal show. I mean that as a high compliment. Great tones, great playing.
Whiskers B wow thanks mate that’s a wonderful compliment so thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊🤘
Great video as always, but I kind of miss some wah-wah there (maybe instead of the tuner?)
Ah I used to use the wah off the board before the tuner when I still had this setup 😀🤘
One more quick ?
Are you running all modulation through the loop?
No all straight in the front of the amp
This is great! Unfortunately I invested too much in pedals already (is that possible?). I think by fluke I have a pretty similar setup, but am always jealous of your lovely overdrives and distortions; I think I went a bit too ‘budget pearl jam’ in that area: mini Tubescreamer and soulfood. I love my rotovibe though- it’s awesome for that mad seasony Mike solo sound.
Oh, and would love to hear if you have any advice on how to make a whammy pedal sound anything other than absolutely stupid...
Graffiti Foxes ah thanks man I really like the soul food and the mini tubescreamer is cool too, those are classics! If you have a Marshall amp then that and a TS is all you need for early PJ (we’ll rhythm stuff!) Don’t worry I’ve got a video soon for the Whammy it’s sooo much fun! Need to sort that out
So do I read it right that you use the SL drive to get your Stone sound, but prefer the Friedman for versatility?
Graffiti Foxes pretty much yea but i also like a smaller board for gigs so the SL drive and Tumnus are great space savers. For total variety the Friedman offers more options imo
Did you ever consider a modelling pedal, like the Helix, or multi-effects, like the HX Effects?
Agree... I would love some Helix presets for Matt's repertoire
Interesting! Funnily enough the HX looks like it would cover off a lot of the delay/modulation stuff. I need to do a comparison of my MM4 with actual pedals tbh. The one thing i found with the MM4 is i'd set up a sound but then have no idea what settings had been saved to the 4 patches haha. I'd defo like to try the Helix and HX though, i'll see if i can borrow one as they're not cheap. watch this space!
@@LetsPlayAll You might also want to check out the Pod Go. I recently picked one up and it's great. Ignore the 'Pod' branding, as the internals are 100% Helix. Also quite a bit cheaper too!
@@goldenretrogames oo nice one, so much awesome gear around these days!
What is all this going into? Does it have on board delay?
Great channel-
I’ve got a Friedman PT20 and it just plain doesn’t like overdrive/distortion pedals-
thanks mate, at the time i was using a Victory V40, using a Morgan MVP66 now, both take pedals really well
Excelent vídeo! Is there any special reasons to put the fuzz after drives and distortions? I use It always at First so the signal arrives more pure as It is possible...
Thanks mate, tbh it depends on the fuzz, some need to be at the beginning of the chain, but tbh I only ever used it in isolation and not with the dirt pedals so didn’t matter so much where I put it 😀🤘
You said you got the requirements of all the bands gear and ticked off all the things that are fairly common, can you share that list?
This is an old video now mate but I just meant i wanted this to cover as many bases as possible 🤘
Hi Matt! I have just got a BE-OD to try some STP and Nirvana (damn it's a noisy pedal even with its own isolated power). Just wondering if you have played around with the internal trim pot at all with the BE-OD? I have mine set to 11 o'clock but looking for some guidance on this one, and any tricks on knocking back that humming noise? Thanks, Mate.
hey mate, no i haven't touched the internal trim pot tbh, mine it only noisy when i'm using single coils tbh which is the guitar rather than the pedal. What's the rest of your set up?
@@LetsPlayAll Maton BB1200JH with humbuckers, a few pedals (no daisy chaining) going into a Yamaha THR30ii. Voodoo Labs Power Plus 3 PSU. I tried isolating just the pedal, Guitar > BE-OD > Amp and still quite noisy. My Op Amp Big Muff is humming as well but not as bad. But after a bit of research it seems quite common with this pedal. Got a few things to try, I’ll grab a different PSU like a Boss PSA-240, try a different house socket, different leads, pedalboard might be getting interference from the amp. Lowering the internal trim pot didn’t help, so moved it back to 12 o’clock. If it’s gonna hum then at least I’m gonna get some mad high gain from it. :) Might be the Voodoo Labs PSU, but I need to confirm with the Boss PSU first.
@@Sir_Gonzo yea I mean some hum is to be expected for high gain pedals unless they have a built in noise gate but defo worth trying different power supplies and even different plugs in the house 🤘
@@LetsPlayAll A quick follow up. Got a secondhand Sentry noise gate because after all the testing/troubleshooting for the BE-OD, it wasn't resolved from plugs, cables, pedal power, power sockets, different amps or guitar settings or pick-up types. Unfortunately, it appears to be my Friedman pedal. The Sentry jumps in to kill the hum and doesn't appear to be interrupting/cutting in when it shouldn't or affecting sustain. It's a quietly awesome pedal by the geniuses at TC Electronics. 5 stars.
@@Sir_Gonzo nice sounds good!
Nice guitar, can’t see a HSS hardtail on their website. Guess they don’t do it anymore.
Thanks Peter, it's a custom Suhr that I picked up second hand, the guy had ordered it as a custom option :-)
Appreciate this video among many! New subscriber! I play in Alt band and 'trying ' mini board with a Way Huge Cameltoe-Boss Chorus-MXR Carbon Copy. Thinking maybe a Wampler Terraform for additional modulation sounds and either Wampler Ratsbane and/ or EH Op Amp fuzz ala Billy C! Thank you much for great content!
Hey Billy and welcome! Pedal board's sounding great! If you want a super varied Muff style pedal then check out this bad boy th-cam.com/video/vKwi9ehHHQM/w-d-xo.html
Let's Play All Thank you!!!
@@billydelacruz1500 no worries!
Great board mate! What have you changed since then?
Thanks man! Well I’ve been doing more demo vids for pedals lately and I still end up taking things off and swapping things out so right now this is in bits again hahaha so I may need to build another one!
@@LetsPlayAll thank you for answering so fast :)
I look to build my first pedalboard. What overdrive pedal combo would you recommend me as a Marshall plexi amp owner?
@@a-vic7559 depends what tone you’re after tbh but if you’re using the plexi’s amp distortion I’d probably go for a tube screamer type. If you’re looking for a dirt pedal to nail the PJ “Ten” tone then a friend is releasing one later this week so I’d defo recommend checking that out!
what brand is your guitar ?
Jason McDonald it’s a Suhr Classic 🤘
Have you come across the 1991 from Funny Little Boxes?
Yes mate, it was a pedal concept I came up with and got my mate Andy to make a reality, but I was part of the design and voicing of the tone :-) th-cam.com/video/AeH6kQmNeOA/w-d-xo.html
What we're you playing at around 8:20-8:30? Was it TOTD?
Just noodling around mate 😀
Where's the Boss DS-2?!?!?
Big muff is awesome!!! Every guitarplayer must have it.
Agreed! Can't believe it took me until now to get one haha
@@LetsPlayAll 🤣
Can't have a grunge pedal without atleast one Boss pedal
I'm following your approach here to build out my own board. Thanks for the walk through. :)
You’re welcome, have fun, I’m still tinkering 😀🤘
@@LetsPlayAll Do we ever truly stop tinkering with pedals? 😅
I understand Louis CK had to step away from comedy. I wish him all the success in his new passion: gear reviewing… I just don’t understand why he’s putting on an accent…
yes, Kurt Cobain used to have a delay on his pedalboard....
._.
1:40 😂😂😂😂😂😂
No DOD grunge pedal??? Haha
Haha i do actually have that pedal. It's on it's own gold plated board!
Your pedal board doesn't seem all that grungy.
they're all spread out over the floor now which is pretty grungy :-)
So I just blew up my rotovibe (my own fault I think), which was my mad-season-in-a-box. Came back here to see if I can find a cheaper and smaller replacement. Can you recommend the MXR univibe? Does it get you to mccready land?
@@SteveAshby yup pretty sure that’s the pedal he used for that album and has had on his board for years. Great value and does the job!
@@LetsPlayAll awesome- thanks man
Only I hate fuzz pedals do nothing for me
fair enough :-)
chili peppers arent grunge.
I was concerned too but that was just part of his intro
Well I appreciate what you do grunge was at heroin ravaged overrated genre of half-assed hacks that couldn't play they're not though of fondly in the United States as they killed every other genre for a minute and are best left forgotten!!!!😎 However they did help a lot of bands get out of their shitty record label contracts
What a stupid take. Also learn to use punctuation. Please.
