This thing can go to space, collect some soil samples on Mars and come back to earth safely 😅. What an amazing job you've done here, this is by far the slickest and mightiest board I've seen on TH-cam. Kudos!!
Haha thanks bro! I’m just trying to apply for the SpaceX team, nothing more, nothing less 🤞🏼
This is a masterpiece. Deserves a spot in a museum. INCREDIBLE! Thank you for this video
Naaa naaa!! Haha thanks my friend.
Great board and demo my guy. Loving the use of the 76D captures!
🤙🏼🤙🏼 You guys rock! Thanks for making inspiring captures 🫶🏻💯
Incredibly thorough setup. It all boils down to great playing, which clearly you're delivering. Love the tones, brother 🙏
Much appreciated brother 🤙🏼🫶🏻
Regardless of my noise issues, I joined a church band a year ago and have been building up my ambient pedal collection. Your videos are very helpful. Appreciate what you’re doing!!
Love hearing this!!! You're very welcome.

He’s a clip of us. I’m still working on tone… Call it tone chasing if you will :). I’ve started watching your videos after this service and I’m hoping to get it dialed in. Thanks again for all you do!
Man this is a very well thought out pedalboard you covered pretty much all the bases ,very cool built and awesome pedal collection and a great sound and great video and content Thanks!!!
Thanks a ton bro. That means a lot. I appreciate you checking it out 🫶🏻
this is the best pedalboard rundown video on youtube. thank you so much for your hard work and time to create this. i’m learning so much and i’m so inspired to learn even more.
So encouraged to hear that this was inspiring. That was the intent! Let me know if there's any way I can speed up your learning!
I keep coming back to this video, your tone is so spot on!! 👏
Yay, thank you!
I just wanted to say thanks for this awesome Masterclass video. I found it helpful that you gave us an "ear palette cleanser" with your clean tone before engaging the effects. It really helped to better train my ear on what to listen for when tweaking patches. And I found all your topics to be awesome (especially compressor setting, gain staging/stacking mindset, wet effects before amps). My patches are already getting better!
Amazing! So glad this was helpful!
Dude. This video is soooooo good. Really appreciate the explanations, production value, and thoroughness of it all. Top notch stuff
So appreciate you checking it out! Hopefully that stuff helped explain things a bit 🤙🏼
Love this 🙌🏻
Thank you!
This is one of the best videos on a rig I've seen! I think everyone can get something out of this, from beginners to advanced players. Not to mention the board itself, the functionality and tones are INSANE. Knocked it out the park man 🔥
Bro, thank you so much for the encouragement! Really appreciate that. 🙌🏼
This is a great deep dive on a fantastically versatile board. These are the tones that dreams are made of. Thanks!
Dude, Tim, thanks for the kind words! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Thank you so much for this video.
You're very welcome brother!
thank you for the video !
You’re welcome my friend!
Just amazing feature that you have on your pedalboard, sorry by I will copy some feature to my board as well. One of most organized and functional pedalboard that I ever saw, well done.
Thanks Ricardo! Copy away! Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with.
Super thorough breakdown. You clearly put a lot of work into this video and overall setup. Keep it up! Love this a lot.
Much love Justin, thanks bro! It was a super fun project through and through.
Sounds glorious!
Thank you!!
Amazing! God bless you
Thanks brother. May God bless you as well 🙏🏼
What a crazy board! Sounds awesome and doesn't seem overkill at all for your situation so Im all for it!! Cool stuff dude!
Thanks a ton man. 🙏🏼
Woohoo! "POLARITY!" 🙂 Thanks for taking us along for the ride to Toan Town! 🚀 Great job with the board, the execution and the rundown! 👏👏👏
Thank YOU Carlie 🫶🏻⚡️
Man, your channel is so good! The tone captures, the video quality, everything is so good. Hope your channel grow much stronger and get so much views!
Thanks Erik. For His glory only. Amen!
@@thetoneshepherd Yes, all for His Glory
very beautiful sounds!!
Thanks! 🙏🏼
Congratulations on reaching 1k subscribers! It's a huge achievement!
Ah man, thanks so much!! So much love for my TH-cam Fam! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Awesome stuff man. Cool to see an all in one board with 2 tonex pedals 🔥
Ahhhh yeah! Two is the only way to go. I could have more easily built a little separate "sidecar" with the ToneX's but I really like the convenience of having everything in one package. My setup is lightning fast wherever I go now.
Very nice. Ive been looking for a riser/bridge and you pointed me towards it with this setup. Thank You!
Heck yeah! The Lift is sooo flexible too. I went into more detail on it in another video but I was able to get it to the exact height I needed 🤌🏼
Man! Thank you! This was really helpful! Your channel deservs a larger audience, please, patience, I'm sure it will grow.
Just trying to be helpful. I’ll let the Lord do the rest 🙏🏼 Thanks for your encouragement bro!
What a board bro fire!!!
Woot woot! Thanks!
That Midi Multibox is exactly what I have been looking for to edit my stryfecta ! Thank you so much for the midi explanation!
Absolutely! And actually, I really need to edit my follow up video to this (it's filmed...but just sitting in the editing cue). I did find a bit of a workaround for the Strymon stuff as well as the ToneX bugs I was having. And the Multibox came to the rescue for sure!
This pedalboard is amazing, good job.
Thanks a ton 🤙🏼
24:20 I live for that tone. :o
Hnoestly, every single one of your tone demos sound like absolute perfection! Well done!
Bro. Thanks! That's a good one right there. The Daily Driver is such a unique pedal. Its tone is very simple and easy to dial in and A/Bd with other low gain drives it just stands out in a unique and beautiful way. Highly recommend!
The most beautiful pedalboard ever and the sound OMG! Thanks for uploading this video
Bro! Thank you so much! So glad you dig it 🤙🏼 Do you have a ToneX pedal yourself?
Not yet but you just inspired me to go get one . God bless you!
@@abelinolopez1957 I can’t recommended it enough! You’ll love it
my guy! this is insane
Thanks Parker!
I've been looking forward to check this out since your Instagram post dropped. Killer board my guy!
Ah man, thanks for checking it out! Your support means a lot bro.
That’s a spaceship of a board. Man great quality content!
Thanks friend!
I love it... pretty nice, GOD BLESS YOU WITH ALL BLESSINGS
Thank you brother! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This vid earned a sub. The board earned my absolute respect. It is truly a thing of beauty .Pure eye ,and ear candy.
I've been collecting effects, and building pedal boards for 5 years .Nothing like this work of art, but I did just finish a SA750XDM my first with a switcher (Musicom labs EFX MK-VI) .Still figuring out how to program it, the manual is practically useless.
It's by far my most expensive build. Also my biggest, it weighs the same as my DSL 40 lol .
Thanks for the sub bro!! Much love to you and your building endeavors. It’s pretty fun yeah?!
Killer setup, great playing, awesome job man! 🙌🏻
Thanks a ton Sam! Much appreciated!
My two favourite TH-cam guitar channels. Cool!

Sheesh loueesh brother. This is crazy cool
Bro. Thank you my friend! And way to rock the spelling of “loueesh” 💯
worth mentioning i liked the vid just after all of the juicy details of the board haha very impressive and so thoughtfully done
Thanks Jared!
Yes!!! You threw in Let the Redeemed! Sounding so good my dude! 🤙🏻
I threw that in for you! I can’t rip that solo like David, but I try my best to compensate with lots of pedals hahaha
@@thetoneshepherd I dig the personal touch!
Magnifico!
Thanks!
ive probably seen this like 7 times through. Love it. so thoughtful. was planning on making my next board similar to that..... and ended up buying two tonex's for my church because of you....... I think I would love your hx presets.... specifically the ones you use for this set up :)
Thanks so much bro! Glad it was inspiring for you! And just cause you asked, I put my HX Stomp preset bundle up on my website. It's free! Doesn't have all that much in it anyway at the moment! But I'll pass on what I have. Enjoy! www.thetoneshepherd.com/store/p/hx-stomp-presets
Amazing video, rig, playing, tones and delivery! You got my sub! At 46:00 you absolutely Nail some Eric Johnson tones that showcase the best of his humbucker tones! Wowowow
Woot woot!! Haha thanks my friend!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
You have the most beautiful tone man! I would love to learn how to dial all those reverbs and delays like a pro!
I’ll admit, I think a lot of how the overall tone is perceived is due to the delay and verb settings. They’re important for sure. Maybe that needs to be its own video…hmmm 🤓
@@thetoneshepherd man... PLEASE DO!! 😆
Yes please do! Would love to see how you dial in those settings
Duuuuude, this thing is sick! Great board, great playing, great video. Might steal some ideas for my board if you don’t mind 😉
Bro thanks!! Steal away! (I sure did from others haha)
Great production value and tones. Can't believe you don't have more subs. Your tone at 54:15 is pretty epic 🤘🏻
Thanks Noah!! And man, I love that lick at 54:15! It’s the Instrumental section of “Lord of My Life” from The Belonging Co. Such a killer song! 🙌🏼
This is worship🔥😍
🙌🏼🙌🏼
This board is awesome! The fact that I can get ballpark tones with one pedal (hx stomp) is incredible
You're totally right! All this time and energy and finances into making a board like this and then you can get reeeeeallly close with a Stomp is WILD. We live in a wonderful time to be making music!
I really enjoyed this! Great board! I’ve never really liked fuzz but that focus fuzz is the best sounding fuzz that I’ve heard. Looks like I’ll pay a premium if I buy one.
Yeah right!? It’s a very palatable fuzz. They did just come out with a new all silicon version that’s not limited in quantity but still sounds very close. Maybe check that out.
Outstanding! Makes me feel better about my giant board haha
Haha, big boards get glares from some people, but I feel like if we’re using them to serve the mission and heart of worship, why not pursue the best we can, so long as we’re using it to its full potential and for Him 🙌🏼
@@thetoneshepherd Amen dude! Ya, Every Sunday I hear "Looks like you're moving in" lol. Its all in good fun. My old worship pastor would always say "our best for THE best".
@@weenchops I love that. “Our best for His best” is spot on! Have time for a short story? The other day I saw someone post on a forum, defending their big board, by saying “What if I play outside gigs too and not just for church?” As if, it’s more worthy to put together a big board for a secular crowd than for the Church. But that stirred my heart-Why should the church be the best place to invest the most time, talent, and creativity into!? Music belongs to the Lord, after all! Anyway…likely gonna write a post about that soon 🤙🏼🙌🏼 Thanks for the chat!
Love this video a lot. Have been watching it to much 😂😂😂.
HA! Thanks bro! Glad it's holding your attention still 😆
Incredible gear, beautiful build, beautiful tones and great playing! This board is something to enviously drool about and it should be considering the thousands and thousands of dollars of gear it cost to put together.
I appreciate that! And yes, it’s definitely a “prized possession” and one I try not to take for granted. But in the end, I just want all of it to serve the Lord.
Board mais completo que ja vi na vida!
Thanks my friend! It’s been a joy!
Monster :)
It’s got monster vibes for sure 👹
Bro! That’s what’s up!!
Thanks my man!
Would love a video focusing on how you utilize and setup your PBC6
I absolutely will! Soon!
Bro! That midi breakout box to allow for editing stuff on the fly is pretty dope. Nixie is definitely not the smoothest pedal editor to work with. Can be frustrating to have to disconnect everything to mess with presets. Good job overcoming that issue, even if it still has its quirks. Board as a whole is nuts. Great job.
Dude thanks! Yes, I spent years looking for a good solution for all of that. After a few months now of working with the board daily, I can say that the quirks aren’t all that bad. Still worth the effort of incorporating that midi box!
Congratulations dude on what you achieved with your tone. It's admirable. Which amplifier captures are you using in this video?
Thanks bro! @Tone_Factor AC30 and Benson Chimera. Check the description for all those details ⚡️⚡️🤙🏼🤙🏼
Dream board 🤙🏼 very very nice. I saw your Cali76 settings and am curious if your happy with them? I have my mix at 9 o’clock and threshold at 11 o’clock for my hss strat (crema bridge), not sure if it’ll stay, but it sounds super nice for cleans.
Yeah I’m happy with them, but like I mentioned, I’ll roll down the IN control for different guitars since the level of input directly affects how hard the comp works. But what you saw is dialed in for the Cremas.
Amazing board.. Just amazing.. Glory to God..
Glory to God indeed 🙌🏼
@@thetoneshepherdcould i use a buffered splitter after my knight audio technologies treble booster which is first in line?
@@joethrelfall6370 Pretty sure you can but the buffer wherever you like (though some more knowledgeable than I could weigh in). The only reason I put it first is to take a totally dry signal straight from the guitar back to my interface for re-amping purposes. But I know others who take their signal after their overdrives instead.
I saw you had some quad cortex captures Your pedal captures are the best I’ve heard. Would you consider doing a daily driver capture?
Oh man, thanks a ton! Unfortunately I don’t have the QC anymore…sold it to fund this build and my FM9. I couldn’t wait on the slow QC development. But perhaps one day I’ll get another. It’s a great idea, just does a little less quality captures than the ToneX IMO so I shifted to that instead.
This really is a dream board, im planning to organise/whittle down my 30 pedals , tonex, and boss multieffects into something like this but its hard to sacrifice for floor space so it might end up just becoming a multi tiered monster to fit everrything as its for recording rather than gigging so i want to have access to everything easily lol. This has given me some ideas though.
But definately The secret preamp is an underrated piece of kit and i havent heard many talk about it, seemed abit expensive for a one trick pony pedal, but the way it shapes the tone makes it an always on pedal, something just feels wrong/missing with it turned off lol
Feelings the same!
Great vid. Love the all thought that went into the board. All the IOs and midi too. Bravo man. Only thing I was wondering is if you ever used HX for dirt pedals?
Thanks man! I love the Temple Boards for all those I/O capabilities. Feels like your only limit is your imagination.
Regarding the Stomp, no, I've got an excess of analog drives on my board so I don't use it for drives haha. Although I will use it for a clean boost and also have used it as an additional compressor for really slammed clean slide stuff. The longer I have it on my board the more I find uses for it. It's just so versatile!
@@thetoneshepherd I totally understand. The reason I say that is because in all honesty, I didn’t really notice much of a difference in the daily driver when you had it on using the long ambient verb. I would imagine you could probably get that same effect out of the HX boost or drive and save some board space. But if you feel it, that’s different than hearing it in the TH-cam video. I’m also intrigued by tonex vs Kingsley and TwoNotes. Im using a Maiden D and Torpedo CABM+ and wondering how that combo compared to Tonex
I won't deny that the way I'm using the Daily Driver, there are a lot of other ways to get that sound. But having a dedicated hardware effect to serve that purpose is very helpful when switching between guitars or in the studio and wanting to make certain changes on the fly. Could I do it in the Stomp too? Sure, but it wouldn't be as fast or intuitive.
As far as the Kingsley combo, it served it purpose but didn't last too long. That was my first attempt at a hybrid rig and may it was my inexperience at the time but I didn't bond with it. It was also not stereo which I'm a stickler for now.
Hey great video!! It’s really helpful!! Just one question… your Midi routing for the Strymon and the Multibox, do you think it can be routed with the Morningstar MC6? That way it can be like you have it… 1 USB cable for all the USB stuff… thanks again!
Thanks! I wish I could comment specifically on the MC6 but I haven’t looked into that one. I did go down a rabbit trail last night though on the Pro version and it sure seems like that one would be able to handle it, possibly with the Multibox.
Man that tone at 24:10! Beautiful!
Thanks bro! All Hail King Jesus has some juicy parts in it for sure!
@@thetoneshepherdAmen brother! Hey quick question cause I’m about to pull the trigger on the dual tone x stereo pair like yours: have you noticed any latency with the pedals at all? I saw a review on Sweetwater and the person said there were other mentions in the guitar community of latency issues. Thanks man!
I know some may say latency is an issue with digital effects but I’ve never bothered to check the actual latency of my rig because I don’t “feel” a lag at all. So if there IS latency, it really is insignificant to me. Pull the trigger! 🤙🏼🤙🏼⚡️⚡️❎❎
A very nice, but nerdy, video :) you are like 1000 miles ahead of me, just understanding how to use everything :)
I’ll take the nerdiness 🤓. Haha. It took me a long while to figure out how to use everything. And even to this day, I just learned a few new things about the PBC6X which are going to help my workflow even more. I hope to release a video just on how I’m using that pedal. That alone I’m sure would help those looking to incorporate midi switchers. Stay tuned!
I see videos like this and all I can think of is Roy Buchanan plugged straight into a fender and producing an incredible tone.
If I could actually play guitar, I would absolutely have less pedals 😂
I bought two Tonex as well I’m excited to rebuild my rig
Oh heck yeah! This is the way! ⚡️⚡️
@@thetoneshepherd I’m very happy with my new tone , my ac30 sounds so real
Man this rig has everything! And the reason I’m switching from Ruby/Dream to Two Tonex. I had Quick question if you have time, I’m really wanting to try the Tonex before my wet signal and I’m curious if coming out of my drives that I can go into a JHS buffered split into each Tonex and then stereo with wet effects and finally out of the Diso +?
Again I loved everything about this video!
Thanks! And you can absolutely do this, yes. Drives > Buffered Splitter > (2) ToneX > Stereo Wet FX.
However…I’d try your wet effects before the amps 🤓…just try it with the ToneX’s since they’re different than your Ruby/Dream
Gotcha i guess I was confused when people say before amps.. should be simple but my mind gets tangled in patching land.
Currently I’m going Guitar-Compression-PreAmp-DPC5 Gen3 (Drive,Drive,delay,reverb,flex) out of Loops-JHS Buffered Split- Dual Tonex- Timeline-Bigsky-Diso +
I’ll really like the way your controller works and might have to save up and switch out the DPC5 eventually.
Thanks for the reply and Be blessed man!
Excellent vid, Devan! Did you experiment with wet FX post Tonex? If so, why did you land on having them before the amp sim?
I’ve tried wet effects after the ToneX a few times, yes. Because the RJM is a matrix switcher, I can just design a preset with the wet fx after at any time. I experimented with setting my global preset to have wet fx after for more ambient tones, but in the end I just prefer the way the verb and delay hit the amps when they’re positioned before. Just a tonal preference.
Sounds amazing! Would you look into the Milkman The Amp Stereo that just came out?
I saw that. Looks real interesting! But it seems like the ideal use case for that is to run it with real cabs, yeah? I know it has a cab sim in it too, but it seems like it was really intended to be used with real cabs. Also, unlike the ToneX pedals, with the Milkman you can only have 1 amp sound. Maybe it's a good amp sound, but you're stuck with it. Not sure it would be something I'd personally pursue at the moment. But I'm sure others will find it really useful!
@thetoneshepherd it supposedly is the perfect pedal taker and has a great cab sim from what i hear. Some people paired it with an IR Loader with great results. Could be interesting to try! This sounds phenomenal though so i wouldnt be surprised if the tone-x's stayed on your board!
Love the board build! I was curious, what was the pedalboard case company you went with? I’m struggling to find a case deep enough for the Trio 28 + GWA Lift + the Strymon bridge. Thanks!
This one!
th-cam.com/video/B0YwjMfEBwI/w-d-xo.html
Im sure you didnt use it all😅.. very good and expensive setup and i love it...❤❤❤🎉🎉 listening to the whole video its very accessible to change presets using 1 midi device... very impresive very technical ...
Thanks! I used it all but ONE pedal! And funny enough…it’s the most expensive pedal on my board! 🫣 (it’s got the “magical” diodes)
Dang this is crazy, you thought of every little thing that’s bugged me with a board! Wow
Thanks bro!!
Enviable setup even though I'm in the process of going the other way. I'm downsizing from a large board to a small board. Fantastic video quality and editing as well. Well done. Quick question. How did you mount and wire your external 9v power port? The parts that you listed in your Drobox file (thanks for that!), don't appear to work together per se. Did you have to route out the blank cover to mount the power jack? What holds it in place to the cover? On the inside is the power cable soldered to pins or plugged directly in to a male jack? Thanks.
I made a specific video about that here! 🤙🏼 th-cam.com/video/r7_w4L4BAis/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the kind words brother 🫶🏻
Very nice board and great tones. I am curious why two Tonex and not one Quad Cortex? Seems I am one step behind you. Love my real amps but went to ACS1, now have the Ruby Dream thing (but not in stereo, I am about to A/B them as separate amp options) but looking into Tonex or Quad Cortex to capture my real amps. But I have gotten used to stereo into the amp thing.
Thanks! I tried the QC and wanted to build a hybrid rig around it but I didn’t want to have to use my PBC6X at the same time-I wanted the QC to handle all my midi commands. Unfortunately the QC can only send 1 midi command per scene which wasn’t good enough for me. That, plus the very slow rate at which it was being updated turned me off. But I’m glad I went with the ToneX because they do sound better!
Greetings from Colombia, in the last big part 54:15 to understand a little more, you are using in addition to Stryfecta, the Benson booster that is clearly on, and the Pog I also hear it clearly, which overdrive(s) do you have on at that moment?
Greetings! You are correct! The only other pedal that’s on is the Kilt (red mode). All Strymon effects are my own presets available on my site. 🤙🏼
Incredible setup man! What benefits do you see in running your Cali at 18v?
Thanks bro! It’s a pretty subtle difference. It’s just a bit cleaner and more hi-fi. Nothing you’d actually hear on a record lol
Love it man! I paid Omillionaudio to do my board because it's all beyond me. I feel like I could do it now lol
Oooo, I'm sure that board RULES though! Omillion is the GOAT. But learning to solder is super fun and also a good skill to have on hand anyway as a guitar player. I very slowly built up all the tools needed to do the job pretty well and I'm happy I did.
That smirk at 33:25 ... yeah, I get it. 😂
Haha, you feel me?! Love it! Such a gnarly fuzz yet still accessible to someone like me who rarely uses them. Genius pedal.
Love your tone and playing❤ i tryed these TF amps in Tonex app and found them too clean though they sound very good.
Thanks a ton! Quick question for you though, what do you have your input trim set to on the ToneX pedals? I have mine set at +8.5db and I confirmed with TF they set theirs around the same. That would highly contribute to the captures feeling too clean if you had it set at 0db.
@@thetoneshepherd i set it +11db😂 wet effetcs don't break up into these captures as i like
@@stang1748 Realllly?? Something else is gotta be going on with your gain staging somewhere!
i tried other famous worship capture makers, and while they have good brake up, they sound sometimes hursh and not as natural as TF to me
@@stang1748 Have you tried TFs various captures with baked in drive pedals? Perhaps one with the boost or a lighter gain stage may get you where you need to be?
I'm very interested on your take on the Tonex input trim levels. I keep going back and forth between -13 to 0 but have settled at -10. I feel there I have bit more control over the amp model's gain knob. That's the most powerful Tonex board I've seen
That’s very odd! My sweet spot is +8.5db. Are you playing a clean signal into the ToneX and watching the input “meter”? I believe it just says “low” or “good” or “high” or something of that nature when you’re checking the levels. Play hard and adjust the trim until it’s set at the right level.
there was a tonex update where they reduced input trim levels, did you update tonex? Here is explanation th-cam.com/video/By5uHDpxaEc/w-d-xo.html
@@stang1748 yes, I am aware of this. And I have updated mine. But my settings still stand. I still have it at +8.5. And this is still what tone factor would recommend for their captures
What I really need is to practice
Same bro. Same.
Devan - great board! Quick power question - how did you connect 2 Zumas on one power jack? Did you just cut and splice?
Thanks! And yes, just cut and splice indeed! Nothing too special about it. You can daisy chain power just list anything else
Mothership time traveller!
To infinity!!!
I've watched this video 4 times and I'm still learning new stuffs. Man, I'd like to get in touch with you, I have a lot of questions. A week ago I purchased the PBC10 and a bigger board, I'm gonna need ur help. 😅
I'm always here to help! Glad you connected with me on Insta! It'll be easier to stay in touch that way.
@@thetoneshepherd I already texted you on IG, waiting for your answer 😅
How did you connect your tonex’s out of the stereo loop?? I’m running a split trs cable out of my pbc 10 to the inputs of both tonex’s and then sending the outs of each tonex back into my stereo return on the pbc… but I’m only getting audio from on of the tonex’s… any thoughts???
That’s how I’m running it, yes. Perhaps that loop is mistakenly configured for dual mono instead of stereo in the Mastermind Editor?
This thing is next level for Jesus. Well done!
Thanks!! 🫶🏻
I've heard that the Roland Duo Capture audio interface works with Strymons. I'm not sure, but it's worth trying them out.
Interesting!
New subscriber and really enjoying your channel! Is the Secret Preamp after your drives or before? Also the Kilt is the one pedal in all of your videos that doesnt show your settings very well. Could you please post a pic of the kilt on Insta of your preferred gain 3 settings? Thanks looking forward to future videos!
That means a lot Ryan! Thank you for the kind words. Yes, it’s unfortunate that my kilt is covered. I do show it for a brief moment in my pedalboard overview video. But shoot me a message on Instagram and I’ll send you a picture.
Secret Preamp is after all my drives, right before modulation and wet effects.
@thetoneshepherd Thanks so much for the Kilt pic you ROCK!!! I figured the preamp was there but appreciate you confirming. Purchased your Stymon presets and looking forward to trying them. Thanks again and glad I found your channel. Came for the Board but staying for the Tonez and Fellowship!
Ah thanks so much Ryan! Can't wait for you to hear the presets. I personally love them and think you will too. I'm here for the fellowship! Reach out anytime.
Awesome set up! Question what’s the song at minute 30 ?
Thanks! It’s called “Take You At Your Word” by Cody Carnes. All the songs featured in this video are listed toward the bottom of the description. Thanks again for checking it out! 🤙🏼
Hey Devan, I just found your channel. Can you tell me what guitar stand you are using in the background?
Hello, glad you found the channel! That stand behind me is the Rok-It RI-GTR-RACK5 but to be honest...I can't stand that stand! I replaced it recently with the K&M 17515 Guardian 5 (they also have a 3 guitar version) and it's the best multi-guitar stand I've ever used. The guitars sit very securely, the slots are spaced far enough away to put big hollow bodies and acoustics next to each other (and guitars with tremolo arms) and the location where the top of the stand meets the guitar neck is low enough where you can leave a capo on the 4th or 5th fret without it hitting the stand (something that annoyed me very much about the Rok-It stand). I'm a BIG fan!
I have a question for connecting dual tonex. From tonex, I would have to use either line isolator or DI box? And to the mixer console. And running stereo means occupying two channels?
You are correct. You need to run into a stereo DI or Line Isolator (LI). The LI is technically better as it will preserve your signal better but either will work. And then yes, 2 channels will be send to the sound board and the tech should hard pan the channels right and left.
Hey man, great job. Good attention to detail in every aspect of this production, build, and tone. I can relate. Once I checked out your channel after meeting on insta I subscribed so quick! You are filling a niche really nicely, one that only GuitarForHisGlory does right now because he is the only one that really incorporates the Lord in a regular basis. I’m curious about your reverb setting on the ToneX amps. Do you run the amps dry? Slight room reverb? Since you can’t run their built-in stereo reverb I wonder if running them dual mono with verb would sound much different? Thanks. My church is mono but I have a stereo capable board, recently added a ToneX 🎉 and I’m just curious.
Dude thanks for this encouragement. Gotta bring in the Lord always-He’s the source! And I so appreciate what Troy is doing a ton! As far as verb on the tone models, I run them completely dry since I never have a moment when I’m not adding some kind of verb with the BigSky.
@@thetoneshepherd I wonder about bethel dudes. They mic the amps in the back but I wonder like how much room verb the mics pick up or what they are after in terms of post amp reverb base tone / slight amp in a room sounds for an extra dimension or sound or.. just do they just go for dry? Lol I think I’ll reach out to them on Insta at some point to see.
@@robertgoodman1454 Obviously every real mic’d amp is going to naturally have some room sound. So there may be something to that. I just know Kenyon Reed explained specifically in a video with the Iridium that he didn’t use any room verb on that unit. But it’s always worth experimenting with!
@@thetoneshepherd perfect, that’s helpful info. Yea if he didn’t use any reverb on the iridium (which was awesome room verb BTW, the iridium uses verb algorithm mixed with an IR) then I assume he wouldn’t on ToneX. I’ve found with some other amp sim units that post verb can muddy up or darken your signal and reduce clarity if your not careful so I guess I’ll experiment with that a bit. Have a good one!
@@robertgoodman1454 Totally worth experimenting with. One thing I’ll likely play with in the near future is using different captures for my purely clean sounds. In that case, a touch of room may be nice.
Could you please tell me more about the 9v out and the USB side plates. I would like to added that to my board!
Check out this video for the 9v and audition loop: th-cam.com/video/r7_w4L4BAis/w-d-xo.html
And this one talks a bit more about the USB jacks: th-cam.com/video/jj74gTkqmRw/w-d-xo.html
I also provided a master parts list .pdf in the description 🤙🏼
But look up “Temple Audio MOD-MIPP Mini Module Punched Plate” and use these to add any D-panel mount jacks you want 🤙🏼
As the temple people have said in regards to people complaining about them not being "sturdy", the flex is intentional. If you check your board after a year of using it for a while you'll see that it doesn't stay bent. They say it's to take the pressure of people putting their weight on their pedal switches and this should help with longevity.
I mean....I kiiinda see what they're getting at but this feels like an afterthought excuse rather than an intentional design feature. Regardless, I still love my Temple board!
@thetoneshepherd How do you deal with noise from your dirt pedals?
I just start playing 🤘🏼 Haha. But 1) I mostly play humbucker guitars and 2) I kill the hum by going to my middle position (hum canceling) on my Jazzmaster when needed (in between song sections and in quiet moments)
How’s the Fralin Modern Oaf Compared to the Duesy Bridge? Been thinking about a swap.
The Fralins are my least favorite pickup of the bunch 🫣. This may be an unpopular opinion…and on listening back to my demo, I likely should have set my compressor differently (lower input) for those pickups, but the Fralins are naturally quite compressed sounding to begin with and make the tone feel narrower for some reason. The Duesy bridge pickup is a great pickup with more openness and crunch IMO.
