A great pedalboard and an even better player! Did you geek out over RJ's pedalboard? Let us know! Drop a comment with your favorite pedal on his board and then hit those like and subscribe buttons🤘
Hey Sweetwater, I love these videos but please start going over what board and lift system they are using to hold the pedals. So many of these I’ve wanted to know and it’s not gone over. Thanks!
Note to other businesses--this is how you do advertising that's not annoying in the 21st century. Sweetwater gets advertising, the pedalboard designer/builder Mason gets a shout-out, the guitarist shows his thing, Mitch gets some respect, and the individual pieces of gear get shout-outs.
RJ is a not only a phenomenal player, he seems like someone that would be fun to just hang out with too. Thank you for featuring him on this fun series, I'm really enjoying watching them.
RJ is very close to the top of the list of my fav YT guitar guys. He is a stellar player and as you can tell from this video and others, very nice guy.
I have to be honest and say that I didn’t come here to see what he had on his pedal board, but to find out who this guy is. I never heard of him before. I’m glad I did! Real cool guy and great player.
These new serie " Wat's on Your Pedalboard?" is really nice - really intersting with amazing Guitar Player !! Mitch is always good in his interaction with the guys. I hope to see lot of them in the future ! Love it !
Great point with the compressor pedal. When I want a lead boost I'm not looking for more gain just more sustain. RJ is a killer musician and now I need like 4 more pedals after watching this lol
Interesting pedal board, what is surprising is that out of all his guitars he used that one. Not that it is not a good guitar, but heck he has some incredible Guitars...
Very cool JR 👍😎👌 My signal chain right now but still needing a wah or get my old Dallas Arbiter Wah Face up and running w a Casledyne pot Gotta do it LoL Anyways Guitar - Drybell Vibemachine - Diaz TX Ranger - Xotic Clean boost - Lovepedal EPH3 for echo and been having great results w an old Silverstone 1482 6V6 amp Very warm amp but great w strats and LPs Kind of stripped down but simple and easy Very cool guys
Great video, thanks Sweetwater! I'd have to echo what others are saying about the blurring of the board: The blurred pedal effect isn't very effective when trying to put focus on one of the pedals. You might be better off darkening (turning the brightness down) on the pedals that aren't being talked about.
That’s is an awesome pedalboard. I was just wondering, if I use a fender amp which have an original spring reverb, I can use with foot switch, have sense buy the boss reverb pedal too?
There are much better octave/ pitch shifters out than the dubious DigiTech. Beautiful Bender and Drive, though(long live Ronson),- and those Danelectro's ARE the best. When your running a buffer before of after a Ge fuzz(or boost, or drive), you WILL lose part of the characteristic sound.Whether or not that's noticeable in a live situation is questionable, and some seem to prefer the cleaner overall signal .I always try to keep buffers late in the chain, or in a TB loop, to isolate and minimalize negative impact.But HE is the seasoned pro.
Is there really no pedal switcher on that board? Or did I miss it? Idk how you could keep your tone with that many pedals. Whether they are true bypass or not, idk how that could work. I lose most dynamic range with 6 or 7 pedals on a board without a switcher and they are good pedals. Analogman, wampler etc. I only use a fuzz, kot, mod tube screamer and an analog delay. That is all I need and about all I can put on a board before I don't like what's happening. Also, pedals just eventually get in the way of playing for me. Ymmv.
A pedal switcher can be mitigated if you have the right, high quality, buffering on a board, good quality cables, and power. Of course, switchers will be the easier path to achieve this since you can isolate every loop from one another. But a switcher can also sound so-so if the cabling is bad or the buffering is poor (which is true of many switcher out there - having bad buffers in them). Also, switcher can be situational, live performance of the same music makes switchers more practical, you can save the set list in presets and banks - however for RJ, he didn't need that as it was a studio board where each tone is called up to order - ala carte. This makes presets not so practical, and with a rig already this large, adding a switcher would have added 30%. If I could change one thing about this rig it would have been to put a buffer on the return of the effects loop and on the output going to the amp, but as it was, we had less than a day to build the rig before NAMM and this is what RJ had available. It still sounded great, but I think could have been slightly more neutral if we could have got, say, a Mesa Boogie Highwire on there.
I'm new to pedalboard stuff but definitely interested and trying to get into building and experimenting with my own currently... The thing i noticed about this is how **quiet** it was too! And without any sort Noise Gate or Noise Suppression built in... Can anybody explain why that is? My board is pretty **crazy** noisy at times, partly because i've got a cheaper non-isolated Power brick running it, i think, but I'm amazed at how **little** noise this board has for as much as he has on there!?
Board out of focus : the one thing we are trying to see. I know the effect you are trying to get there, focus on one pedal at a time, but it doesn't work well. Otherwise great.
RJ is popular in the TH-cam guitar community. Since he is a full time TH-camr now, it is sensible that Sweetwater would feature him on their TH-cam channel. I'll spare you his long resume; but I hope for your sake that other RJ fans don't shred your comment.
I thought my eyes were going bad, turns out it’s just bad editing. Seriously why would you blur the pedalboard like that? Is this your first TH-cam video?

I absolutely love this series of pedalboard tours. Thanks, Sweetwater!!

Tito RJ! Heck yea! This was such a fun rig to build! xoxo ~Rig Dr.

Great interview with one of my favorite Pro level players! RJ and Sweetwater Rocks!!!
What a great guy to have as guest in this segment!
RJ is a guru of tone! He knows his shit! Killer player as well, great video!

Subscribed. Happy to help!
@@floridapunkarchivist Aw, I saw this notification and it warmed my soul! Thank you man. I hope you enjoy my channel and gear reviews : ).
SUBBED
If this was a shameless plug it worked. Subscribed
RJ is the type of guy you could come over with a six pack and jam with
Great point with the compressor pedal. When I want a lead boost I'm not looking for more gain just more sustain. RJ is a killer musician and now I need like 4 more pedals after watching this lol
Mitch we need more of these demos.
I love the sound of the Lovepedal Tchula into the Susmaryosep
RJ’s the man. Nice guy & amazing guitarist.
Great choices and cool walkthrough. Interesting single uses for the SP Comp and FRV-1.
Always good to hear and hear from RJ
another great video! Sweetwater is on fire!
RJ is the GOAT
+1 for those thorogoods RJ! great run thru of everything. great job SW!
Love RJ, his guitar youtube channel is very informative and engaging. More powers brother! Thank you for bringing him in Sweetwater!
Great interview! The only pedal I had is the Xotic SP! I like the last 2 pedals, lots o detail!
the drop tune pedal is such an amazing tool no its not perfect but it comes in handy !
Great video! Please continue this series. This is great content.
Interesting pedal board, what is surprising is that out of all his guitars he used that one. Not that it is not a good guitar, but heck he has some incredible Guitars...
outstanding pedalboard, looks like mine ! Congratulations
another great episode!

Nice board RJ! I need to look into those fuzz pedals, they sound awesome.
The blur thing will work if u darken the part u are blurring. Otherwise it’s not pleasant
Exactly
RJ's shoes are the coolest! What are those?
Two cool guys, pleasure.
Cool board, cool guy, amazing boots! Damm I gotta get me a pair of those things.
Great video, thanks Sweetwater!

Why is the board out of focus in some shots? Great video, I love R.J
I think it's safe to say but not required thought that we should buy any of these fx on his board - this guy sounds REALLY good.
Not gonna lie, the SUSMARYOSEP sounds really good!
RJ is top notch! Class and style and we both love Jimi ..! I hope everyone loves Jimi
guys.. please change the blurry view to something else.. I'm always trying to adjust the resolution only to realize it's not that..
Great featured artist 👍🏻
Who makes that Fuzz Bender? Amazing
Susmaryosep! Idol ko yang si RJ!
Sweet rig!! Is that into a Fender Deluxe?
Who makes that fuzz bender Mark I ??!
expresso FX in the UK expressofx.com/
I really want that Susmaryosep pedal. it's a Filipino thang ;)
Great video
Why Vertex Boost is so huge? It easily can be 3x smaller.
That’s is an awesome pedalboard. I was just wondering, if I use a fender amp which have an original spring reverb, I can use with foot switch, have sense buy the boss reverb pedal too?
This board has and does everything need. But I still have a few other boards at home. Said every guitar player since forever 😂.
That part 🤘🏾🤣
What's a signal flow Mitch?
Signal flow is like the order of pedals.
RJ! Making me want to buy an Eastwood since 2016(ish?). Beautiful Dano! What about the boots, what are those?
Look like either Red Wing or Maybe Wolverine moc toes
There are much better octave/ pitch shifters out than the dubious DigiTech.
Beautiful Bender and Drive, though(long live Ronson),- and those Danelectro's ARE the best.

What's the name of the jhs?
Glad to see RJ on here, though man, talk about butchering a surname at the intro. LOL You know we all love ya Mitch!

Having an isolated power supply and high quality patch cables makes all the difference in the world!
That pedal bird needs a gigrig!!! He should get Dan to set it up. His setups are by far the best in the business.
rad board
Awesome! :)
The LPD Eighty 7 is s secret weapon!
The blurring of the pedalboard makes me dizzy. Also it was very hard to find, which pedal are you trying to highlight.
just noticed the old english D on his arm detroit represent
Nemesis Delay ftw
Don't blur the board, that's not pleasant to see. Just copy that too from the other good pedal shows ;)
Pedro Nastari I Agree. It makes me feel nauseous!
Chris Shearwood exactly!
I prefer it to that pedal shows way of doing it
Dougley Dorite yes! Thats why I said oTher good Pedal Shows (TPS), haha!
Stellar Gentlemen

SUSMARYOSEP!!
Susmaryosep! 👌
haha I like that SusMarYosep!😇😅
A boss Gt1. That's my entire board. 😔 What I could do with a strymon set....seriously.
Looks like the tone doctor was here...🕵️♀️
I recommend everyone checkout the build video on the Vertex TH-cam account & RJs personal account. Excellent.
🙏🙏🙏
The Devil God's Made is on my pedal board !! Kukulcan !!! 👹🙏☮️🩲🌲⭐☮️🌲⭐🩲☮️🌲⭐🩲☮️🌲⭐🌐
Tho ro goods are great boots
Masons so smart because hes a doctor
Nice board, I’m stealing ideas
Susmaryosep RJ! payter!
Nothing I don’t got one
Yet
My iPad.
Pedals..thats what on his board.
Susmaryosep! 😝
420 miliseconds you say?
I love these big boards, but every time I see one I think "They need to get in touch with Dan at The Gig Rig."
when... will there be guitarists on here that i actually know..

If you don’t know RJ you should educate yourself
I thought my eyes were going bad, turns out it’s just bad editing.
Seriously why would you blur the pedalboard like that? Is this your first TH-cam video?
It's to highlight the pedal they're talking about. Made perfect sense to me.
3 gain pedals stacked because of their character? Some of these boards r so ridiculous
My god his signature pedal is amazing I think I need it now
