I wish John would talk more during his liveshows like he did back when he was younger. He's just such a cool guy that id pay to hear him talk, be it about random stuff like his pedals or smething deep like his take on music etc.
people started to trash talk him for doing that, cause he did it imitating SRV's half song talks, but who knows, i like the guy, he can talk whenever he wants
Yeah his chats are always so funny and inspiring but people are always gonna hate him for that cuz he “talks too much about himself and is an egomaniac”, it’s such bullshit
You technically just need a Reverb and an overdrive and a distortion also add a loop ya know what add a delay a wah pedal also you never know you might use it one day also add a synthesiser cuz it does cool sounds also add a booster and multiply that by 10 cuz not all pedals sound the same and you need different versions of the same effect.
Referenced pedal is neunaber wet (/expanse/slate) ...according to my photos of his board from after this show and looking at where on his board he reaches to adjust the reverb. 👍🏻👍🏻
Douglas Brand lol yeah you’re right he probably has no idea because he didn’t care what the price was from the start since money is no obstacle for him
Captian Anderton posted a picture he got from Danish Pete (Peter Honoré) of John Mayer rig from his "The Search For Everything" tour and you can see that its clearly a Neunaber Slate which has been rebranded/renamed by Neunaber, now called the EXPANSE. The Slate can be programmed to be many modulation effects. John's pedal is most likely programmed as one of the following: Wet Reverb Seraphim Shimmer Reverb (Wet, hall, plate, spring, modulated) Shimmer A good guess is that its one of the presets from the other Neunaber reverb pedal: IMMERSE REVERBERATOR
I think at the end of the day, as most of us grow up, we crave for a more refined and clean way of playing something or listening to something that satisfies us. Not saying everyone is that way but at least for me it is.
Some songs in continuum where inspired by his roger lin adrenalyn.And for "inspired" I mean pure presets rock. Now thats a more than 120 dollars pedal, but it´s magic. Pedals are an option. Musicians develop his skills, style and color. Pedals help mostly in that last stage (wich is not a chronological order thin). But is not just about the pedal, it is just a tool. Picasso used blue, and also Van Gogh, but, nobody says "oh, whell, picasso used blue, that´s an easy choice" Tom Morello is a pedal insane, as the edge, and the first rage again the machine record was done with a 50 bucks guitar and a 15 wats amp. But, that was in the line of a band that´s called "again the machine" I think.
I used to have the very same addiction (to distortion pedals particularly) but ever since I got myself a Sinvertek No.5 Distortion and an MXR 5150 Overdrive, I'm all set. Don't need another distortion pedal ever - I've gone close to three years without buying a new distortion pedal, so I'm pretty much "cured" now. Delay pedals however, wow... Don't get me started!
Adding pedals is like a tasty marinated steak. Nothing wrong with it. The biggest error most guitar players make is obsessing over gear instead of obsessing over improving. They worry too much about whether their guitar is worthy of them instead of worrying whether they are worthy of their guitar. As a result, there are to many players with Custom Shop guitars with Squier and Epiphone level skills.
He played the Mateus Asato Suhr Sig for a while in some videos and his Fenders and Charvel’s and evens. Jackson with Ed Sherran, but I think Paul Reed Smith realized he was paying John a lot of money to be his flagship artist and he wasn’t even using his guitars and now he always uses them. I don’t think John would play PRS guitars if he didn’t have an endorsement deal and a $5,999.99 PRS amp with his name on it. I love PRS amp’s but that one is crazy over priced. The other PRS amps are reasonably priced. I own a Sonzera and it’s awesome. But John played Martin’s and Fender Strats for the majority of his career because they fit his style. Fender didn’t want to change the design and colors for John and PRS capitalized on the opportunity to scoop John up.
I think it’s a Strymon El Capistan or a Volante. He uses Way Huge for Delay but for Reverb he uses the El Capistan and the Volante from what I’ve seen on his boards. Wel, he just said $120.00, so it could be an EHX Holy Grail or an MXR Reverb with the Pad and Epic setting. I too have a pedal problem lol I sold most of them, portably like 88 of them but still have plenty I should sell lol
And the more I think about it, I don’t think he has any $120 reverb pedals from all the pics of his board I’ve seen. I know he used a Pete Cornish NG-2 Fuzz on his version of Clapton’s take on Crossroads. He talks about it in the lesson video he did years ago. That’s a $750 pedal, or more on Reverb.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm.... Pedals..... This vid is great. I have an extensive pedal board. Playing a job 98% of the night I use.....one. LOL. Drag 4 guitars to a job, I use...two. I would only use one but a few songs are de-tuned.
I'm one of those addicted guitar players and I need up know what he's using before I go and spend more thousands of dollars worth in pedals.... Okay let's be real. I'm buying pedals either way, but what is that?!
I took photos after the show. The reverbs on his board were neunaber expanse (not $120), strymon flint (definitely not $120), and mxr m300 (also not $120)
I love John Mayer but Robben Ford doesn't need thousands of pedal to make a good song. Also in my opinion, my most favorite one who uses his fx pedal wisely is Mike Einziger.
The whole point here being that no ‘value’ judgement of any musician is warranted. Whatever gets them doing their own best music is what music is ALL about. Buy pedals, don’t buy pedals, own an expensive guitar...or not, come from the USA, Australia, or Sulawesi...I don’t mind, none of us should. Just thank you for your music Musos - its the language of the Universe.
I always find the idea of criticising someone’s creative output by comparing it someone else’s approach strange. It’s a bit like going up to a brilliant painter and saying another painter is better than you because he only ever uses the colour green!
So, you see, $200-$300 seems like a deal when you consider that the pedal companies could instead have asked him for royalties against any hit songs made with the pedals.
I think at one point he used to be, but here he's merely stating in a funny way that the pedal essentially made him all that money. It was all in the reverb. I think that's rather humble.
Ya gotta have some buffered pedals at the beginning and end of the chain. Only care about true bypass if it starts to mess with certain effects like fuzz, etc... I think buffered bypass is almost always better. The “true bypass” elitists don’t understand what a buffer is. Every pedal is buffered when it’s on. I haven’t heard a buffer make my board sound bad. But the lack of a buffer has removed all clarity from my tone.
"That's not the weekend, that's a Wednesday!" too funny

John Frusciante has a huge pedal board and does an amazing job of knowing when to use them or go clean. It's all preference and style.
Mr. John Frusciante is beyond good and evil.
Purplexi Lol!
Frusciante was pretty minimalist actually
4pie Did you mean that as a compliment?
Roman Roman just saying he really wasn’t using much in his RHCP days Klinghoffer is the one with the monstrous pedal board
I choose to be minimalist with my pedals...
Not that I have a choice anyway since I'm poor as shit

That’s me yelling “YEAH!” at 0:22 😂
MacDrevi0us which pedal(s) did you use for that yell?
Mashungam Ningshen Boss Metalzone? ;-)
MacDrevi0us huh...very subtle. 😁
i think the mids are really scooped on your yell. check out Steve Stevens rebel yell
@@josefeld7164 it was billy idol but respect on your high tier troll
It’s how you use them and what they give you. As his example showed, the pedal gave a sound, sound lead to an idea and that became a song.
Referenced pedal is neunaber wet (/expanse/slate)
...according to my photos of his board from after this show and looking at where on his board he reaches to adjust the reverb. 👍🏻👍🏻
MacDrevi0us I have a neunaber immerse and the shit is dope!!!
Thanks for this. I was hoping he would at least mention it.
Douglas Brand yeah, same. He also strangely says is $120, which even on the used market isn’t true.
MacDrevi0us oh yeah, but I’m sure he doesn’t even care what he’s spending on pedals to really be accurate about that.
Douglas Brand lol yeah you’re right he probably has no idea because he didn’t care what the price was from the start since money is no obstacle for him

This is most inspiring video I’ve seen in the last months!! Thank you John!!
Extremely true about putting off Guitar until you get a pedal 💯💯
LMFAO Yoooo the part about not playing before the pedals comes is so true
I legit thought I was the only one. We really all the same.
I was so excited to get my latest pedal that I literally wasn’t inspired to play until it came 😂
John Mayer is THE MAN
!
Asif Luger no he's not
Ryan Knight he is god
Yes, some pedals actually inspire songs-reverb is beautiful when used with judgement, John has judgement I reckon
How can you not love John. He makes us feel better about our gear addiction.
This guy's got it all, could do stand up all day.
This is fantastic
Love this guy
I used to have tons of pedals. Sold them all and only kept a delay, overdrive and volume pedal. I am a happy man. No more chasing. 😂👍🏼
Robert Jones compressor?
hegmon tuesday had several compressors including a Keeley which was my favorite. Wasn’t connected with it long enough to keep any of them.
I think at the end of the day, as most of us grow up, we crave for a more refined and clean way of playing something or listening to something that satisfies us. Not saying everyone is that way but at least for me it is.
agreed and you can always go bare bones acoustic
thats the spirit
whish I had the courage to just sell half of my pedals.
Man I miss concerts
I have that exact same story except for the last part of me making a lot of money.
Solo John that’s also John doing comedy is great

Epiphone Les Pauls are pricey axes though!
I got a fever and the only prescription is more pedals/reverb....
As a drummer, thats cowbell.
MORE COWBELL!!
LOL!!!! Man this is so true!!! Just got a new reverb in the mail...haha
Bruh- love this!!! This genuine tall is what’s missing from our heroes!!! Thanks John

I think he used boss metalzone
Just for the meme of it he definitely bought one
thats it!.....Im going to finally plug straight into my amps to hear what they sound like for the first time!! lol ...thanks John!

I can see Dave Chappelle's influence in John. Love them both
2 amps
4 monitors
rock and roll
Has he ever claimed to be rock and roll?
If john mayer isn't rock and roll then rock and roll is dead.

It's so true :))
Yes John lad
Sorry to be the one that asks but what is that song?
No one talking about the hat?
He's right
that's the dream
Does anybody know what stage wedge monitor is he using????????
Damn that sounds nice right at the end. Wonder which of the two amps he’s using at that point.
what amps are they?
He’s probably running them in stereo or a wet/dry setup. Looks like silver face Fender amps, possibly a deluxe and a twin.
Princeton and Deluxe Reverb
@@blackstratblues black or silver face?
@@Austinomical Silverface, '68 Custom reissues most likely.
He reaches down and turns it on and off with his hand. It's right next to his foot. Does he realize he's supposed to step on it?
screw off let him live
What concert is this?
That first note he plays through the pedal is the same as at the start of "All I Want Is to Be With You", am I right? Same tone/pedal too? 😮
Well good damn
Alguém coloca uma legenda em português nesse vídeo 😭😭
But which reverb pedal is it?
neunaber slate
Is it just me, or were any of you other guys thinking "Norm Macdonald" while listening to this?
Pat Mack god no
Well actually yes but I dunno why...wtf?
What was the pedal called? Anyone?
ouch but at the same time LMAO HAHA
Lol this is awesome
and the main thing is, no one got the pun, john made...
so what was the song?

Like him even less now. What is he wearing on his head?
It matters because?
The most un-humble rock star in the world. Great player, but comes over as a big headed knob....all the time.
I don't know how you came to that conclusion. It's just his way of interacting with his fans. He has never claimed to be somebody he's not
