    My suggestion:
    Micro Q tron-$95.80
    Keeley tone workstation-$299.00
    JRAD archer-$199.00
    TC Alter Ego-$169.99
    Boss TU-3-$99.99
    Final Cost
    $863.78
    Masons suggestion:
    Vertex steel string-$199.99
    JRAD archer-$199.00
    Ibanez TS-Mini-$79.99
    Xotic EP boost-$120.00
    Ibanez analog delay mini-$119.99
    Boss TU-3-$99.99
    Final cost
    $818.96
    Cost difference-$44.82 more for my suggestion
    Some additional points:
    - For an extra $45 you get much closer to the overdrives and boosts John Mayer actually uses, as the Tone workstation was based on John Mayer’s tonal needs and includes a comp as well as a bluesbreaker/katana boost that are excluded in Masons board, yet are much more central to Mayer’s tone than a Dumble OD and certainly an EP boost which I’m pretty sure he doesn’t really use often/at all.
    - Moreover, Mayer has used analog delays, tape delays, and digital tape delay emulations, so digital tape echo emulation pedal, would be a much better alternative as it can handle much more of the delay tones of John Mayer.
    - My suggestion includes an envelope filter which John Mayer is famous for using.
    - As a final point, if use the same power supply as Mason does in this video (Truetone CS6) you can always one more pedal, as my board concept leaves one free adapter for one more pedal. You can add a wah pedal, Dumble style OD, Boss BD-2 or octave fuzz of your choice to include one of his less frequently used effects.

      @VertexEffectsInc  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Ben, I think you make some good points here. A few things to remember, it needed to fit on a Metro 16. You suggestions are larger pedals, this would be problematic to sell the "mini rig" concept of the giveaway pedalboard, nor would they fit with this board platform. Secondly, this giveaway was sponsored by Sweetwater and done in collaboration with them, meaning we had to use pedals that were in stock and available through Sweetwater. I don't see the Keeley Workstation, Alter Ego, or the Micro Q Tron in their inventory or in stock. I think there a lot of way to "Skin The Mayer Cat", I tend to go for more of the Continuum era stuff, and Trio era since that's more of the iconic tone to my ears. These were much more scaled back rigs compared to what's being used now, and pre-dates the use of the filter effects, or any compressor use. In any case, I appreciate your feedback, and certainly if the only criteria was getting there at the lowest cost there would be lot of pivot options to make, differently from what I did with Sweetwater.

      Vertex Effects fair enough. Your choices definitely make a lot more sense under the limitations you laid out. I wasn’t trying to be confrontational btw just wanted to make some counterpoints.

    Great build! When I use dual lock it always comes off of either the board or the pedal if I try to remove a pedal. Once it comes off it will not stick again. Doesn't seem to matter if I just put the tape on or if it's been on for months.

    • @VertexEffectsInc
      @VertexEffectsInc  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If it’s coming off it’s for two reasons, first reason is you didn’t clean the surface before you applied to dual lock. Second reason would be, it’s supposed to remain sedentary for about 12 to 24 hours before you really start pulling things on and off, almost like a curing of the adhesive. If I follow those steps I’ve yet to have a problem in over a decade

    why would the EP booster go after the other distortion pedals? Not asking to be antagonistic; I've never owned one but have seen stuff about it, just always assumed it was meant to go first. Are you trying to simulate where you'd put an echoplex in your chain?

    Hi Mason, I’ve seen you solder the patch cables with the outer SHIELD wire to the inner connector of the SP500’s. Then you solder the inner SIGNAL wire to the outer connector of the SP 500’s is there a reason why you do that? Shouldn’t the shield wire shield the signal wire always? Thanks!

    • @VertexEffectsInc
      @VertexEffectsInc  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The shield will always go to the sleeve, the center conductor will always go to the tip. I've not wired it differently than that or shown any other way to do it. You can check out our videos on how to wire SquarePlugs if you're interested in how to do it properly. These plugs in this video are a Switchcraft style plug, a little different than the SquarePlugs in terms of where the lugs line up with the tip and sleeve.

I'm not sure about keeping the ep booster on my board. My question though if the Steel String going in to a tubescreamer, ocd, is correct. It sounds fantastic to me but, wanted to ask the question. Thank you in advance.
