I think it was two different use cases / boards. The first board was for the church / worship use case and this second one is for when Mitch plays out. I'm thinking of putting together a few different boards, but still working on the pedals involved and the best order / flow :)
Im loving my rig at the moment. Running a PRS SE Custom 24 Sweetwater Exclusive Quilted Charcoal, G&L Tribute S-500, or a Schecter Diamond Series Banshee 7-A into a Mesa Boogie High Wire > Ernie Ball VPJR Volume > EHX Cockfight Wah > Wampler Ego V2 > Fender MTG Tube Distortion > EHX Nano Big Muff Pi > EQD Grand Orbiter V3 > Boss Eq-200 then splits from the EQ to my Egnater Tweaker 40 Combo on channel B of the Eq and from channel A on the eq it goes back to my High Wire then to the front of a Roland JC40, then out of the effects loop of the JC40 to a Boss MD-500 > Strymon Timeline in stereo > GFI Systems Specular Tempus and back to the JC40's effect loop in stereo. And out of the High Wire's tuner out is a Peterson StroboStomp HD. The Egnater Tweaker i dont use often, but its connected to my board to occasionally split off and try kinda a Wet/Dry/Wet configuration, but in a direct recording solution with a Two Notes Captor on the Egnater then a 1/4" stereo break away TRS cable in the headphone out on the JC40. I prefer the tone of the JC40, but use the Fender MTG Tube distortion to add 2nchannels of tube tone to the JC40. One channel is edge of break up, then the boost section is pushing the pedal's tube into full overdrive while keeping unity gain. Only things i want to change is my wah pedal, add a UAFX Golden, change the Ego Compressor to an optical compressor, upgrade my actual board from a DIY board i made with either a Vertex or a Emerson Custom, and tighten up my cable management. Right now my cable management is nonexistent and its a nightmare to look at, but surprisingly the rig runs really quiet and that High Wire works really well ensuring I minimize signal loss.
I play in a bar band, mostly originals, Americana blues-based classic-rock, with a few covers blended into our sets. I have a lot of guitars but my rig is basically this: Gtr - Peterson Strobe Tuner - Wampler Ego-Mini compressor (always on) - Wampler Tumnus (For softer/mild rock - blues crunch stuff ) - Strymon Riverside (Higher gain- Plexiglas stuff - hard rock) - Boss FB-2 Feedback/Booster (set as mostly a clean boost to any of the settings before it, with a tad of eq and volume for leads - and drunk at the end of the night I smash it for feedback thrills, ha ha) - into a Mesa California Tweed (I keep the gain at about 11:00am, sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less depending on the song) - Strymon Brigadier delay in the effects loop (I position this pedal on the top of the amp so I can tap in the tempo with my hand). Sounds absolutely glorious and more importantly easy to dial in great tones for every song our band plays. Writing this, my rig sounds more complicated than it really is. Keep it simple and don't be afraid to focus on two or more "boost/drive/distortion" settings in your rig - that is the heart of your tone. Get a good tube amp too. A good foundation makes everything else easy.I think Mitch's rig is awesome but after a long day at work, driving in traffic to my gig across town, with 10 minutes to spare, you need to dial in quick - get something easy! Ive bought most of my gear from Sweetwater - great folks, ask for Mark Magdich, he will set you up proper!
I feel like Mitch would love the Fender MTG Tube Distortion pedal. I recently bought that pedal and its absolutely perfect for adding subtle tone changes like hes using with the Dude, and its boost section allows u to add a second gain channel without adding more volume. Its really cool. I highly suggest it for anyone looking for an amazing sounding versatile drive pedal. Love The Mitch 2.0 board, sounds and looks amazing!
Really surprised by the inclusion of that version of the Carbon Copy delay. Love the Carbon Copy but could never get that particular one to do what I wanted.
Angus Young's pedal board has a Marshall stack and nothing else. Mine consists of an Un-curated collection of the 4 pedals I own. Boss Metal Zone, Boss Fender Bassman pedal, Boss bass overdrive and Boss compressor. One dimensional stuff. 😅
Several nice clear tones. It's not all about OD/fuzz for me, I love the Leslie cabinet sound. I love the setup . . . in stereo! My pedal board is unmanageable (it's twice the size of Mitch's). I think I'll attach it to my studio walls. To save space, ha!
Very tasty choices throughout! An adult's rig. Modularity = Adaptability. At the end of the day, it's not what you have, but what you do with what you have. Mason's work is always exquisite!
Great video. I just found this video this morning. I have a question regarding the Airturn. I have one but when I plug it into my power supply i get a really weird oscillating hum and clicking sound. I’m just using a one spot daisy chain and I assume that is my problem. Have you ever experienced this. As long as I run it unplugged or on it’s separate power supply like a usb plug i don’t get this.
I love that “audition” feature on the junction box for Mitch. Will the box to be sold at Sweetwater have that feature or be a more basic version of a junction box?
@@ppierpont there will only be one version. It will have the ability to do any of the following - mono, stereo, 4 cable method, wet/dry, wet/dry/wet. There will also be an option for a trs pass through for a footswitch. The audition loop can also be there but it will use the send/return for the 4 cable method effects loop so you'd have to choose one or the other depending on your rig.
That’s my personal Gibson Custom CS-336 - looks a lot like an ES-339, and similar size, but different construction. In fact, I did buy it right off the wall at Sweetwater a couple of years ago!! :) Thanks for watching, Mitch
I "upgraded" my DD-5 to a DD-8 and have regretted it. It was so easy to tap in dotted eighths with the DD-5 and the method to do it on the DD-8 is just stupid. Now I'm looking at that MXR CC Deluxe.
There is a J. Rockett Steve Stevens pedal with an Archer OD and a 6-band EQ called the “Rockaway Archer.” But this board features Mark Lettieri’s Melody pedal, which uses a different overdrive circuit with the same EQ. Both great pedals! Mitch
There's a few things that really help with reducing noise - I call it the "Holy Trinity of Tone". 1) high quality soldered cables (low capacitance ~30 pF or lower ideally). 2) high quality isolated switch mode power supply. 3) high quality buffers on the input (first) and output (last) of the system. In most cases if you do these three things, even if it doesn't look as clean as Mitch's rig - you'll have something that's quiet, reliable, and will have as minimal tone suck as possible.
I would never wear a leather coat with buttons and zippers like that playing guitar. The back of your guitar is going to be all scratched up if it’s not already.
So is Sweetwater's TH-cam channel just a vehicle for pushing Mitch Gallagher's music "career" now? I'm sorry to be a dick but this shit is kinda corny. I love the role Don Carr plays in this though. The constant, rapid fire, unassuming and gentle pleasant surprise "Yeah. Sure. MmmHmm. Right, yeah. Exactly. Oh! Yesss. I love it. Yeah, MmmHmm. HaHaHa, of course, yeah, exactly. K. Mmm'K. Right, right, K. Ohh." With Mitch just going on talking as if he's a legit touring and recording artist. Coming out for an interview before a gig at a big club or theater while on tour supporting the latest album. As though Don is a writer for Premier Guitar who he's just met and has come down just to interview him about his rig. Cuz the fans want to know the secrets to his tone and have been requesting the Mitch Gallagher "rig rundown" update since the new record came out.

Thanks for having us Sweetwater! This was a blast to build!
I am not finding the junction box that mason talked about. when will this become available on sweetwater?
@@nathandrum47 should be there by next month check with your Sales Engineer!
Love Mason's videos. He is the pedalboard guru.
"You never want your rig to stay the same for more than a few consecutive minutes"
Words to live by.
I literally just watched the video with Mason's build for Mitch not even 12 hrs ago and now there is a new video and it's changed! 😅
In the guitar world...your rig can change that fast LOL
@@VertexEffectsInc thats for sure! I loved your build for Mitch BTW.
Hey, do you have a link to where i might check the built ?? Thanks!!

@@wrekkingcru that’s what I was thinking too.
Mitch’s sideburns are majestic. That’s probably where all his killer tone comes from.
🏆
Sweetwater best company. Hope you guys never change
Great arrangement, looks so clean
Killer pedal setup! Thanks for sharing!
What a great video! Lot's of info. Thanks
I liked my own comment. I should see someone. 😅🤪🤣
What a sweet sounding guitar and pedal chain. Cheers!
Very nice , also looks versatile to use with Acoustic guitar too with the reverb and delays that are on board

Lovely tone, great vídeo as always, thank You Sweetwater.
I love the Dude. That’s my main drive pedal. Killer board Mitch!
I think the Dude and Melody w the Lex and some Carbon Copy is plenty enough board for me Way too much but all great pedals Starlight is nice too
when he showing the extra pedal loop i started to cry it was beautiful
I didnt know Vertex is finally selling the interface box. Ive wanted one for a long time
Yes, they'll be here in about a month or so.

Mitch is so cool. Don is cool too. That board is cool. Mason, very cool. Nothing but cool here.

That Ola Chorus is gorgeous sounding!
I like the way you have your carbon copy delay set
I have 1 pedal (Jekyll and Hyde Ultimate Overdrive). Really in performance settings it is enough
Hi mason. When will those patchbay buffers be available? Really looking forward to get one! Thanks!
About a month or so
@@VertexEffectsInc thank you!!!
Great video.
Vertex should make there own scaled down Ver-sion (clone) of the visual volume .Maybe oh I don't no, the Vert-Volume .
I think that Truetone should re-release them!
Mitch is so damn cool. I'll watch anything he does.
Honestly, he thinks so fast and has an incredible social intelligence. Fun to watch.
I really like the Small body Gibson very nice

When will the Vertex pedalboard interface or junction box be listed on the sweetwater website?
about one month

What happened to the Iridium?
Mitch, what do you put in your hair? It always looks cool. I need some of that.

Wasn"t that od+eq pedal a Steve Stevens model?

Like it! Q: Which is the first pedal within the single chain?
Thanks! The first pedal in the signal path after Mason’s custom-made interface box is the TC Electronic Sub ’n’ Up Mini.

Anyone else think Mitch should start a second career as a movie villain? Like an old school James Bond kind of villain with a huge underground lair?
You should sell the whole pedal board setup.
The neutrino is the new duck pedal
Love it!
I like to cut in the mix when I gig
Better bring an Xacto Knife
@@vertexskool just bought the steel string supreme .Is the filter knob normal all the way left and adds treble when u turn it ?
I wish Hendrix didn’t have his tone suck with his pedals. Think of the guitar tones we could have had.
Why is it silent?
Too much pedalboard for my tastes

That board was born to do 70s porn music.
