Love your tone so much I've basically tweaked most of my pedals and apps to your tone bro! Question: are you mostly using Tape Delay as your mostly used delay effect? Or are you switching to say Analog or BBD, or even digital?
Hey man thanks I’m glad you’re liking the content. For now I’m just using tape delay for everything, I haven’t found a need to switch it up yet. Also I bet that tele sounds killer!
@@lightfootfx Thanks! It’s a blessing to finally use it. Had been using my Strat forever but I gave this tele some TLC, setup and intonation and wow! Plays like butter! Love the tone going from Fender Tele to Gibson PAF with the Lil59’. Was gonna ask, do you place your 1/4 notes delay after your Dotted 8th delays? Or does it really not matter?
Thanks man! Great work on those captures they sound really good! That’s awesome I did not realize they were your personal amps, that’s a nice collection.
Hi. Enjoyed the video. I purchased a TONEX pedal recently to play at my church. I have been using a Helix. I went to use the TONEX for the first last night but the volume was so low I couldn’t use it. Are you playing direct in at your church? I’m not sure if I’m missing a setting on the TONEX that I need to change. The sound guy had to gain it up significantly to even hear it.
Hey man! I am running direct into the sound board at my church. I set the preset volume on the patch first and then use the main volume knob for extra adjustments. If you are too quiet try turning up the preset volume and then turn up the external volume knob as well.
If you put a delay infront your amp Sim and another after, oh man, the tone is amazing! But be careful on the mix level of the delay pre amp cause it will drive it really nice in a special sort of way!!!❤
Never saw that on TPS, but I do exactly this with vibrato so that said overlaying doesn’t turn my beloved vibrato into chorus. But I don’t know anyone else who does this. 🤷🏻♂️ This means my vibrato MUST have stereo I/O. Walrus Julianna has held that spot for years now. Just noticed the Supro Chorus recently, though. Interesting!
Can you help me get on the list for the King of Tone? I’ve emailed and can’t get a response. I thought I was on the list a couple years ago but can’t get a confirmation.
Hey sure, you should just click the link on the web page that says “Click here to email analogman to get on the list” then it opens an email client for you where you just send it to analogspam@aol.com the subject should say “KoT waiting list addition” then you can put a comment if you want and you should get a confirmation response.
Such a simple wet fx chain and yet you're getting all the ambience needed. Incredible tone, this is the best sounding rig I've heard on youtube full-stop! Inspiring!
Hey! I setup the cloudburst to be in midi mode first which is explained in the manual. After that I setup my midi PC numbers ahead of time on my RJM. Then all you have to do is setup the cloudburst how you want it and hold the foot switch down so that it blinks then click one of your PC buttons on the RJM or whatever you are using and it will send the command to cloudburst which will save the preset and cause it to stop blinking.
It’s been a minute but I set the cloudburst to sound how I want it then I hold the button down until it blinks, then I click the pbc preset that I want to assign it to and that triggers a save on the cloudburst.
Hey man! It was an aux switcher that I bought on reverb from American loopers. They also have a website. I see they are sold out on reverb now as I can’t find anymore but I bet you can email American loopers and have them make you one if you want it to match the aesthetics of the RJM, otherwise any other 2 button aux switcher would work as well.
As a synth/production guy just getting into guitar fx, I don’t know why I never realized midi control was used so often, but it makes total sense. It’s not like you’re going to reach down and change the settings before each song 😂 amazing video. Thank you for sharing!
Hi, watched this video several times ans really like your board and sounds very much! I'm planning on building a new board for my U2 tribute, so I'm still learning.

So I was looking for their buffer interface. What are your thoughts? Much appreciated! Grtzzz Leon
Hey yes I do use a buffer, my rjm switcher has a buffer and it’s turned on. I also have a buffer on my goodwood audio longline. I do agree that everyone should have at least 1 good buffer. Vertex effects makes great stuff his buffer would work great!
Hey man sure! This is from our live service with me playing the tele th-cam.com/users/livexS8uNepAcSw?si=giJnAxiNKLsf781L I need to do a new in ear mix video soon with this new rig.
Sounds great! I really struggle with putting my reverb before the amp. I just feel like it's "wrong." But there is no wrong. Only tone. I have a Boss GX100 and an Eventide H90. It do the thing. I could elaborate, but you know, the thing. What a blessing that the Lord allows us the wonders of modern music equipment. Just remember, in heaven, we will have much better equipment.
I used to run my reverb after my iridium because i liked the cleanliness and clarity of the reverb, but after switching to using real amps (that didnt have an fx loop) I was forced to use reverb before the amp and i dont know if i could ever go back. That swirly soundnof the reverb in front of an amp is great.

Great play and great tone! What made you throw out Dream, Ruby and get tonex?? Ruby + Lion Sounds rlly nice, but I have a strong urge to go with tonex or tonex one because of the headroom and versatility.
The ruby and dream are a great combo don’t get me wrong, but the Tonex feels just as good to me only I can use amps that I prefer. I like the old Korg era vox ac30s from the 90s and so now I can run one and any other amp that I want as long as the capture is good. I wasn’t a big fan of the vintage ac30 sound in the ruby even though it’s an identical recreation it’s just a sound that I don’t prefer.
Bro use the King of Tone. Just do it. Give in to the devil just this once ❤ All kidding aside, it's amazing and you deserve to have it on permanently. It's basically a better Klon. Just do it 😀
It adds a wide stereo image, mainly when playing with in ear monitors which is what I use. The differences between the amps on each side hard panned make stereo effects sound huge! They don’t get combined they panned usually one on the far left and the other on the far right. Then the sound engineer does what he wants with that he may blend them or eq them differently
Currently I like the Tonex a tad more, not by much as both are very good but I give the edge to Tonex. I have a friend though who prefers the Ruby and dream over Tonex so it could just be my preference.
I took the tonex plunge a while back and never bonded with the Tone factor stuff.Very dark and kind of lifeless. You sound great here! I may have to try their stuff again. What imput trim are you running? How much eq did you throw at them??
hey thanks for watching! I have my input trim set to 0 I went back and fourth between 0 and 8 which is the old setting before the tonex patch. I settled on 0 and then I just turn the gain up to where I prefer it. As far as the EQ I do adjusting until all the eq settings are balanced, if there is to much low end I turn down the bass, etc. I plan to do a video on how I set the Tonex up soon.
Awesome! Im playing with them now and i found that if i went 4.0 on bass& depth and 6.0 on treb & presence. it made a huge difference! the eq on the tonex is no joke. ill have to try that input to zero with higher gain. Im running +8 right now @@lightfootfx
@@lightfootfxcan’t wait to see this coming! because i use the TF stuff as well in my tonex. I need to crank the input trim / gain all the way up to get a saturated sounds, i don’t what the problem is, i’m using crema grinder as my pickup, and still get a way cleaner sound coming from them 😭 maybe i need ur vid about the eq and gain stuff for 33:48 tonex later
I’ve been a worship guitarist for about 28 years and try to keep up with gear trends and thus modern sounds. I currently have most of what’s on your board including the RJM. Love that unit! I appreciate your videos and attention to detail. Keep them coming brother.
Hey man, I am using midi with the mastermind, it has a screen so I can bank to different songs and it shows the name of the preset, I can see all my song names and selections when I connect it to the computer and set it in the order I want when preparing for a Sunday. It has a song pool as well so I got hundreds of songs saved in it and they are all mapped to presets on the elcap.
I just make the preset on the pedal itself and then save the preset number to my mastermind. The mastermind software is what I use to keep track of all the presets.
I prefer Tonex just because I can pick the AC30 I want to use instead of being stuck with just the one ac30 that the ruby is. I like the EQ settings of the Tonex more as well for fine control.
I bought the Cloudburst after listening to your settings a few times. I LOVE IT! So versatile. I also saw you left your settings for your 4 presets on another comment and I gotta say, they are money dude! Thanks for sharing.
Great overview. I just picked up a Cloudburst and a MIDI controller. Could you share what your settings are for each of your configured reverbs (short, med, long, super long)?
Hey thanks! Sure thing here are my settings in regards clock position short decay: between 9-10 mix: 10 pre-delay: 11 tone: 10 mod: off medium decay: 11 mix: 11 pre-delay: between 11 - 12 tone: between 10-11 mod: 8 long decay: 2 mix: 1 pre-delay: 12 tone: between 11 - 12 mod: 10 super long decay: between 2 - 3 mix: 2 pre-delay: 10 tone: between 10 - 11 mod: between 9 - 10
I've been running stereo with my Dream and everything slamming in front. It sounds great. Been using a ToneX with Tone Factor drive captures and really like it. Second ToneX will be here soon and I'm going to try out dual ToneX amps.
@@lightfootfx I have been testing back and forth dual ToneXs and my UAFX Dream. My delay and verb do not sound as good going into dual ToneX as they do going into my UAFX Dream. UAFX Del-Verb LR out>Walrus Audio Sloër LR in>L ToneX 1 in>L ToneX 2 R in>LR out Walrus Audio Canvas stereo LI mode. I've tested using different captures on each ToneX and same capture on each. Also tested using a Dream capture on both. Any thoughts? Thanks 👍🏻
@@BobSince1981 Sorry to hear that, my first thought is maybe mess with the input trim on the tonex in the global settings, I like running mine at 0 but maybe try highering it or lowering it to a sound you like then adjust the gain of the amps according to taste. I would also make sure the gain on the tonex amps is set similar to how you set it on your UAFX pedals so that they both can have similar headroom. Lastly you may need to tweak your reverb settings and delays slightly incase there are any differences with how they respond between amps. Lastly you may just not dig the tonex and prefer the ruby and dream which is fine! A close friend of mine swears by the ruby and dream and he likes the way they sound better than any of the amps I run on tonex they are both really really good that might be a flavor that you just prefer.
@@lightfootfx thanks for the suggestions. Yeah I ended up setting the input trim to around +5 the other day and that helped the overall tone of the captures and sounding more like how I've heard them sound in examples. I guess I could try adjusting some of the settings on the wet effects because they may just react differently with the ToneX vs the UAFX. I like having the flexibility of being able to use any ampyou want. I had a Kemper toaster and Kemper stage for several years but decided I wanted to use some pedals again with some type of amp modeling/capturing device. The UAFX stuff seems like you pretty much cannot get it to sound bad, at least to my ears. I am also curious of trying some DI captures and using a UAFX Ox Stomp for all cab and mic sim.
@@BobSince1981 yeah I would try tweaking those wet effects then, I totally agree that’s the reason I love the Tonex is I love getting to use the specific amps that I want. Also yes the UAFX pedals sound soooo good out of the box it’s insane. I hope you get it figured out!
You're making me consider selling my bigsky and timeline. Do everything basically the same with midi plus then get the extra space on the board for other stuff. Thanks heaps. Great tone too ps
hey thanks so much! I had those two pedals as well and got sick of the space they took and I barely used any of the other settings on them. Downgrading the size is the best thing I have ever done you get so much room!
I've been using a UA Del-Verb for delay and some slight plate or hall reverb and then a Walrus Audio Sloër for crazier verb sounds. No MIDI on either but I've been fine with it. Sometimes I didn't have time to sit down and make presets with MIDI or just didn't feel like taking the time to do so.
Pretty sure you just convinced me of the Elliott 357. I’ve been going back and forth on a guitar upgrade. Stuck on a Novo and the 357. I’ve heard they’re noisy but that tone is perfect. I feel like it contains the sound I’m hearing in my head and constantly chasing. Would love to know your thoughts and opinion on it. Excellent video brother!
Hey thanks so much for watching! I love the 357 it is as noisy as any other single coil guitar like a tele. It plays amazing and has so much sustain. I have never played a novo but I really want to so I am not sure how it compares. I bet you would be very happy with the elliott though because everyone who tries mine loves it and its an instant reaction.
Awesome. Thanks for the response bro. Well, hopefully I can get my hands on one to try and see for myself because from what I’m hearing it’s pretty much dead on what I’m hearing in my head. I’ll probably be asking more questions later🤣 Love the channel brother🔥
Hello, I'm really enjoying it. Can you share a link to where you bought the product that banks up and down next to the pbc 6x? I really need it. Thank you for always.
I bought mine on reverb from American loopers but it looks like they are sold out right now. Here is one on reverb that another company makes reverb.com/item/63166059-profile-matching-aux-switch-for-rjm-pbc-6x-by-pdls?
I have the RJM and was wondering how you set up your El Cap? What hardware do I need for midi and do you have it post RJM or in a loop? If in a loop how do you set it up stereo? Lastly you must tap in all your songs? Thanks
On the elcap it requires a 1/4" trs cable on one end and then traditional midi on the other, so you would go midi out from the rjm than convert that midi cable to trs then go into the trs jack of the el cap. To do that conversion I am using a disaster area MIDI Box 4 which might be overkill for you, if instead you just are controlling that one midi device then on reverb you can buy a 1/4" TRS to Midi cable where one end goes into the rjm and the other into the El cap. I have the EL Cap post RJM so its not actually in a loop, after my signal comes out of the rjm its going into my zoia, then to my Elcap and then my reverb. I have the RJM setup so that when I bank to a new song it then changes the preset on my elcap for me always leaving the el cap turned on. When it banks to a new song the new BPM gets pushed to the elcap as well as the saved preset for the song that I setup on the elcap gets loaded. I do not tap in my songs they are all setup in the RJM for each BPM and time signature that I need, then I make indidivual presets for every song onto my elcap and just load them up. I also can tap tempo into the elcap if I wanted to but I dont usually, thats only if we randomly pick a song that I cant load up that day so I have to tap it in. Hope that helps!
@@lightfootfx Thank you for the details and being willing to help! To change the preset or bank timing under the software - do you go to presets tab - under the sub tab Preset Actions? Then go to the CC Toggle or new action - pick the El Cap - CC number 12 - and then the On Value line would be the tempo? I know thats a big question but would that be right or how do you do it? Thanks
I would take 1 Tonex and then the strymon elcap since it can do delay and reverb technically. Then I would set the Tonex to be really driven and use my guitar volume knob to adjust the amount of drive 😂
The Zoia is just so cool and different. Thinkin' about getting one as my modulation also. The infinite tweeking and "designing" seems to be worth the investment.
It’s super rewarding and fun! It has all the modulation effects you would need built into it as modules also which is nice if you need to quickly set it up.
hey man, I am running them without stacking. Each one is being ran by itself in isolation just with each one set at higher gain. KOT yellow is my lowest setting, then KOT red is medium, then Kilt is higher gain, then red Kilt is highest gain.
Hi mate. Looking at buying one more tonex to be able to try stereo for the first time. Few questions. Is the longline a necessity or can sound guy just take the 2 outputs from the tonexs? Also how does stereo work in a standard 5 piece 2 guitarist rock band? Is it more suited to sole guitarists? Thanks
hello, the longline is not necessary however I recommend using something to convert your output from the Tonex pedals into a balanced signal. This would be something like a Radial stereo DI box or line isolator like the Diso Plus or Walrus audio canvas. It would allow you to run long XLR cables to the sound board rather than long quarter inch cables. This will allow a strong clean signal and less noise. Running normal quarter inch cables out would be fine if its short distance. The other reason you may want a device like the longline is to swap the phase if the stereo pedals are out of phase, but this can also be swapped from the sound board. Running 2 amps in stereo gives you a bigger width of sound if you're using in ears. The audience though won't really notice the effect its more for your enjoyment. The benefit is the sound guy can mix and match your amps and solo them out or blend them however he wants for more sound control. Other than that its perfectly fine running stereo with 2 guitarists. I run stereo a lot with another guitarist who also runs stereo we just make sure we don't sound the same.
Really cool board, love the sounds. Video though cuts too quickly from the board back to you too often. It's disorienting and aggravating. Need more long focused shots of board.
I have the exactly sale king of tone , but I see you have the switch set to idle that means the right side of the pedal is still on the boost , its just different settings from the right /. set the switch down to have it as OD if you wish
I would say if you’re fine with one really good reverb and using it for all your sounds then go cloudburst, otherwise go big sky if you need all the other reverb algorithms.
What I find amazing is that God always provides to those that will use only the very best to worship His Holy Name! And even those that can't afford pedals like these, they will worship Jesus Christ with whatever they can afford. ❤❤❤
@@lightfootfx if only we could say the same thing about Christianity and the fact that it's being gaslit into becoming a hate group by the GOP. Hopefully your church is fighting against this, if so I apologize. I just can't believe what the modern church is cosigning these days. It's obscene.
Jesus !!! Just get an Axefx !! That boards as mobile as a garden shed !!! Save yourself $$$$$ and better effects more reliable easier routing editor more and more !! ❤
I also have a fractal Fm9, I’m enjoying the pedals more, I feel more inspired when I have knobs and real pedals to interact with. The fractal does sound great though!
Same here! I have the Fract AX8 and my backup pedalboard is in the works with Tonex as an AU plugin on the iPhone. Yeah the pedals do have a different feel for sure! Great tone brother!
Love your tone so much I've basically tweaked most of my pedals and apps to your tone bro!

@@lightfootfxcan’t wait to see this coming! because i use the TF stuff as well in my tonex.
I need to crank the input trim / gain all the way up to get a saturated sounds, i don’t what the problem is, i’m using crema grinder as my pickup, and still get a way cleaner sound coming from them 😭
maybe i need ur vid about the eq and gain stuff for 33:48 tonex later
@@josephirvan707 hey thanks for watching! I plan on releasing that video next!
Please stop looking at the camera when you hit a chord. Its a little strange. Cool board though 👍
Sounds awesome man! Love that guitar.
Thanks a bunch man!
I’ve been a worship guitarist for about 28 years and try to keep up with gear trends and thus modern sounds. I currently have most of what’s on your board including the RJM. Love that unit! I appreciate your videos and attention to detail. Keep them coming brother.
Thanks for watching! 28 years?? That’s amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Hi. Do you mind me asking why you're a worship guitarist?
@@steveymoon because I love the lord and enjoy playing music. I can serve him and enjoy playing music.
I've also been worshiping the devil for over 20 years! Cool,
@@lightfootfx- sorry for so many questions, but who is "him"?
How do you save and know where your presets are on the cloudburst and El Capistan? Without them having screens, I'm not sure how that's possible
Hey man, I am using midi with the mastermind, it has a screen so I can bank to different songs and it shows the name of the preset, I can see all my song names and selections when I connect it to the computer and set it in the order I want when preparing for a Sunday. It has a song pool as well so I got hundreds of songs saved in it and they are all mapped to presets on the elcap.
I’m mainly wondering, how do you keep track of the presets you create? Nixie software doesn’t work for El Capistan V2
I just make the preset on the pedal itself and then save the preset number to my mastermind. The mastermind software is what I use to keep track of all the presets.
Awesome. And final question! Would you mind sharing your “go-to” El Capistan settings? I saw on another post here, you have your cloudburst settings.
ToneX or Ruby? Why that choice :)
I prefer Tonex just because I can pick the AC30 I want to use instead of being stuck with just the one ac30 that the ruby is. I like the EQ settings of the Tonex more as well for fine control.
Awesome board! I just uploaded a video of my pedalboard and tagged you, hope you don't mind
Thanks! Not at all man I’ll go check it out!
I bought the Cloudburst after listening to your settings a few times. I LOVE IT! So versatile. I also saw you left your settings for your 4 presets on another comment and I gotta say, they are money dude! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you’re digging it!
Great overview. I just picked up a Cloudburst and a MIDI controller. Could you share what your settings are for each of your configured reverbs (short, med, long, super long)?

I've been running stereo with my Dream and everything slamming in front. It sounds great. Been using a ToneX with Tone Factor drive captures and really like it. Second ToneX will be here soon and I'm going to try out dual ToneX amps.
thats awesome! Im sure your gonna love it!
@@lightfootfx I have been testing back and forth dual ToneXs and my UAFX Dream. My delay and verb do not sound as good going into dual ToneX as they do going into my UAFX Dream.
UAFX Del-Verb LR out>Walrus Audio Sloër LR in>L ToneX 1 in>L ToneX 2 R in>LR out Walrus Audio Canvas stereo LI mode.
I've tested using different captures on each ToneX and same capture on each. Also tested using a Dream capture on both.
Any thoughts? Thanks 👍🏻
@@BobSince1981 Sorry to hear that, my first thought is maybe mess with the input trim on the tonex in the global settings, I like running mine at 0 but maybe try highering it or lowering it to a sound you like then adjust the gain of the amps according to taste.
I would also make sure the gain on the tonex amps is set similar to how you set it on your UAFX pedals so that they both can have similar headroom. Lastly you may need to tweak your reverb settings and delays slightly incase there are any differences with how they respond between amps.
Lastly you may just not dig the tonex and prefer the ruby and dream which is fine! A close friend of mine swears by the ruby and dream and he likes the way they sound better than any of the amps I run on tonex they are both really really good that might be a flavor that you just prefer.
@@lightfootfx thanks for the suggestions. Yeah I ended up setting the input trim to around +5 the other day and that helped the overall tone of the captures and sounding more like how I've heard them sound in examples. I guess I could try adjusting some of the settings on the wet effects because they may just react differently with the ToneX vs the UAFX.
I like having the flexibility of being able to use any ampyou want. I had a Kemper toaster and Kemper stage for several years but decided I wanted to use some pedals again with some type of amp modeling/capturing device.
The UAFX stuff seems like you pretty much cannot get it to sound bad, at least to my ears. I am also curious of trying some DI captures and using a UAFX Ox Stomp for all cab and mic sim.
@@BobSince1981 yeah I would try tweaking those wet effects then, I totally agree that’s the reason I love the Tonex is I love getting to use the specific amps that I want. Also yes the UAFX pedals sound soooo good out of the box it’s insane. I hope you get it figured out!
You're making me consider selling my bigsky and timeline. Do everything basically the same with midi plus then get the extra space on the board for other stuff. Thanks heaps. Great tone too ps
hey thanks so much! I had those two pedals as well and got sick of the space they took and I barely used any of the other settings on them. Downgrading the size is the best thing I have ever done you get so much room!
I've been using a UA Del-Verb for delay and some slight plate or hall reverb and then a Walrus Audio Sloër for crazier verb sounds. No MIDI on either but I've been fine with it. Sometimes I didn't have time to sit down and make presets with MIDI or just didn't feel like taking the time to do so.
I like what you are doing. So, I am following you with both my channels :-)
Haha thanks I appreciate it!
Ah…the worship guitar ambience…😂…no, honestly I love it! Excellent board. ❤ BEAUTIFUL guitar, BTW…I get why you love it.
Thanks so much!
Which model are those monitors?
Yamaha HS7
Pretty sure you just convinced me of the Elliott 357. I’ve been going back and forth on a guitar upgrade. Stuck on a Novo and the 357. I’ve heard they’re noisy but that tone is perfect. I feel like it contains the sound I’m hearing in my head and constantly chasing. Would love to know your thoughts and opinion on it. Excellent video brother!
Hey thanks so much for watching! I love the 357 it is as noisy as any other single coil guitar like a tele. It plays amazing and has so much sustain. I have never played a novo but I really want to so I am not sure how it compares. I bet you would be very happy with the elliott though because everyone who tries mine loves it and its an instant reaction.
Awesome. Thanks for the response bro. Well, hopefully I can get my hands on one to try and see for myself because from what I’m hearing it’s pretty much dead on what I’m hearing in my head. I’ll probably be asking more questions later🤣
Love the channel brother🔥
What tone factor captures are you using?
Hey, just the basic amp capture with the “driven” profile for both the ac30 and fender prosonic then set drive to taste.
That Elliott. Already a few moments in and I'm smitted. That model I never see come up for sale anywhere. That thing is just gorgeousness.
Thanks for watching! They are amazing guitars especially this model.
Of course man! Did you happen to get yours from Sound Pure, serial #29?
@@joshbabbitt9243 I actually ordered mine directly from Elliott and waited about 3 years for it to finish.

Love from India,Lightfoot FX you are Amazing
Aww thanks so much! India that’s awesome!

Hello, I'm really enjoying it. Can you share a link to where you bought the product that banks up and down next to the pbc 6x? I really need it. Thank you for always.
I bought mine on reverb from American loopers but it looks like they are sold out right now. Here is one on reverb that another company makes

Awesome board! That Elliott sounds absolutely scrumptious, my goodness.
Hey thanks! The Elliott does all the work 😆
Do you use the straight capture or do you disengage the cab portion and add their new XR IR’s? Sounds killer man!!
Hey thanks so much! I am just using the straight capture no IR's or anything. The only thing I do is tweak the eq and gain to taste.
5:30 please be aware that none of these CCM worship bands or these pedalboards would exist without the Edge from U2. He is such a sonic pioneer!
This is so true!
2 tonex?
I have the RJM and was wondering how you set up your El Cap? What hardware do I need for midi and do you have it post RJM or in a loop? If in a loop how do you set it up stereo? Lastly you must tap in all your songs? Thanks
On the elcap it requires a 1/4" trs cable on one end and then traditional midi on the other, so you would go midi out from the rjm than convert that midi cable to trs then go into the trs jack of the el cap. To do that conversion I am using a disaster area MIDI Box 4 which might be overkill for you, if instead you just are controlling that one midi device then on reverb you can buy a 1/4" TRS to Midi cable where one end goes into the rjm and the other into the El cap.
I have the EL Cap post RJM so its not actually in a loop, after my signal comes out of the rjm its going into my zoia, then to my Elcap and then my reverb. I have the RJM setup so that when I bank to a new song it then changes the preset on my elcap for me always leaving the el cap turned on. When it banks to a new song the new BPM gets pushed to the elcap as well as the saved preset for the song that I setup on the elcap gets loaded.
I do not tap in my songs they are all setup in the RJM for each BPM and time signature that I need, then I make indidivual presets for every song onto my elcap and just load them up. I also can tap tempo into the elcap if I wanted to but I dont usually, thats only if we randomly pick a song that I cant load up that day so I have to tap it in.
Hope that helps!
@@lightfootfx Thank you for the details and being willing to help! To change the preset or bank timing under the software - do you go to presets tab - under the sub tab Preset Actions? Then go to the CC Toggle or new action - pick the El Cap - CC number 12 - and then the On Value line would be the tempo? I know thats a big question but would that be right or how do you do it? Thanks
great guitar! mine it will be finish soon ! how much did you waited for your order? this is my favourite from Elliot but my order is the Warhawk
It’s a killer guitar! It took about 3 years
Thanks for the vid! What monitors are you using to dial in your tone?
thanks for watching! I am using the yamaha HS7 studio monitors
if you can only afford 2 pedals from that board, which ones would you take?
I would take 1 Tonex and then the strymon elcap since it can do delay and reverb technically. Then I would set the Tonex to be really driven and use my guitar volume knob to adjust the amount of drive 😂
Your ambient tones are sublime and inspire me to spend this evening reworking some of my presets.
Thanks man! Best of luck to you 💪🏻
Enjoyed your video. But it's trim-o-low. Not trow-molow. Trim-o-low.
Thanks for watching!
All sounds real good!! Curious what is your global input trim set to on the Tonex pedals?
Thanks! My input trim is set to 0, it was on 8 and I went back and forth and decided to land on 0 then I turn the gain up as desired.
Try out the greer sure shot smaller than the benson boost and can sound just like it plus more
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check it out
The Zoia is just so cool and different. Thinkin' about getting one as my modulation also. The infinite tweeking and "designing" seems to be worth the investment.
It’s super rewarding and fun! It has all the modulation effects you would need built into it as modules also which is nice if you need to quickly set it up.
Fun video, but TREmolo, not treMOlo! :p
Ha I didn’t realize I was saying it that way.
hey brother, how do you run your drives?
it is:
1. kilt into KOT
2. KOT into kilt
hey man, I am running them without stacking. Each one is being ran by itself in isolation just with each one set at higher gain. KOT yellow is my lowest setting, then KOT red is medium, then Kilt is higher gain, then red Kilt is highest gain.
Awesome Video! Is the KOT the normal gain setup or did you get the high gain mod on one or both of the channels?
@@robinhood639 hey thanks for watching! The gain settings are stock, I did not get the high gain mods.
@@lightfootfx Awesome! Enjoy!

Meh … too many pedals. Tone starts in the hands.
I disagree. This is pure tasty tone! Best part, is that it glorifies our God, Jesus Christ! ❤❤❤❤
Hi mate. Looking at buying one more tonex to be able to try stereo for the first time. Few questions. Is the longline a necessity or can sound guy just take the 2 outputs from the tonexs? Also how does stereo work in a standard 5 piece 2 guitarist rock band? Is it more suited to sole guitarists? Thanks
hello, the longline is not necessary however I recommend using something to convert your output from the Tonex pedals into a balanced signal. This would be something like a Radial stereo DI box or line isolator like the Diso Plus or Walrus audio canvas. It would allow you to run long XLR cables to the sound board rather than long quarter inch cables. This will allow a strong clean signal and less noise. Running normal quarter inch cables out would be fine if its short distance.
The other reason you may want a device like the longline is to swap the phase if the stereo pedals are out of phase, but this can also be swapped from the sound board.
Running 2 amps in stereo gives you a bigger width of sound if you're using in ears. The audience though won't really notice the effect its more for your enjoyment. The benefit is the sound guy can mix and match your amps and solo them out or blend them however he wants for more sound control. Other than that its perfectly fine running stereo with 2 guitarists. I run stereo a lot with another guitarist who also runs stereo we just make sure we don't sound the same.
@@lightfootfx thanks for the reply so basically its a DI box that will convert the 1/4 to XLR to run to main FOH that I would be looking for?
@@DeloreanDave yeah! Get something that does that and you should be fine for gigging with long cable runs to the sound board.
Such a huge pedalboard and no big sky?
The big sky is overkill for me 😅 I just want something that takes up small space and sounds good so I can have room for other stuff.
Weeoo weeoo weeoo weeoo 😅

Great video!
Hey thanks so much! I love your products! Couldn’t make it this easy without the PBC/6x
I have the exactly sale king of tone , but I see you have the switch set to idle that means the right side of the pedal is still on the boost , its just different settings from the right /. set the switch down to have it as OD if you wish
I actually have the switch bypassed, I ended up just switching it via the internal switches.
That thing looks like it controls the launch sequence for space shuttle rockets.
😂 It absolutely does
Cloudburst or bigsky?
I would say if you’re fine with one really good reverb and using it for all your sounds then go cloudburst, otherwise go big sky if you need all the other reverb algorithms.
@@lightfootfx couldburst without midi is bad right? Only 1 switch
@@anotherone9219 yeah you are correct, it would be difficult to use without some sort of midi controller.

What I find amazing is that God always provides to those that will use only the very best to worship His Holy Name! And even those that can't afford pedals like these, they will worship Jesus Christ with whatever they can afford. ❤❤❤
