The cable management alone on that board, makes me want to throw my pedalboard on a bonfire.
Okay, I take that back. I love my pedals like they were my own little battery-powered children.
As a studio musician myself, I did the whole pedal board thing for a while but for me it made no sense to have all my pedals on the floor. Having to always be bent over tweaking them was killing my back, so I built myself a pedal trolley from an Ikea storage trolley thing, and bolted a big piece of wood to the top. Now I have a nice clear space for lots of pedals at once on the board that's really easy to swap pedals in and out, I have my power supply underneath the board with holes drilled into the top for cables so everything is nice and neat, and I have space in the compartments beneath to keep all the pedals I'm not currently using. And it has wheels so I can move it wherever I need to! :P Best thing I've ever built
One day I will build one like that... Killer! ✌🏻
One day too😭👌🏼🔥
With what pedals Matt? Whole chain of tubescreamers😂
@@ebathurst9216 don’t forget the vintage wah pedals lad, seriously though Matthew your tone is insane
@@roanclawson4087 yep maybe a fuzz too
@@ebathurst9216 ya'll ever hear of keep it simple. Seems like Rhett is doing that now
Do you think Rhett just starting making videos so he can write off gear on his taxes?
I would
Why? He lives with his parents, no?
Why not, if you make a living making music then no problem :)
@@davidjonpeckinpaugh9295 I dont think so
@@davidjonpeckinpaugh9295 I dont think so
Is it just me, or does it look like the Serus J has gotten a lot more relic`ed the last couple of months than earlier? Ofc lovin the look, it just looks so different now
Don’t think it had that arm wear last time, can’t be sure though.
i think that was by design. it definitely looks great and authentic
Secret to getting good: play with just a line 6 spider and no pedals for 20 years.
i'm a proud line 6 spider II 30 watt amp owner... i just wished the reverb was a separate control, but it was an earlier amp so the reverb was set with the delay and you can only use one... but that's my favorite thing about line 6, clean channel with chorus+delay (or reverb) and i'm good... the only channels i use were clean and insane, just with any line 6 products e'quing is non existent on that one LOL, but that's all the gear i have right now, ibanez grg270dx , line 6 spider 30 watt and a line 6 pod hd500x
my eyes went O_O when they saw those flying faders! awesome boards you've got there.
We have a similar set up but I am using the Wampler plexi deluxe as my main tone ,amp in a box, and the terraform instead of the helix.
Face it Rhett, you'll never be happy with anything. As long as companies keep pumping out prettier and more expensive pedals and gadgets you will have to have them! I really think that you have a serious problem ... 🤔
Yeah, it's called G.A.S., gear acquisition syndrome.
LOLLIES, he wouldn't be alone there...
He is a professional musician so it can be somewhat justified. He is always looking for the best tools and seems to find inspiration in new gear. I spent a good chunk of change on a board and I suck. Fair enough my board costd half as much as the one Rhett built but I found it hard to truly feel good spending money on my hobby.
Ah yes, Rhett’s ‘edge of breakup’ full crunch tone.
Relatable. That’s why I haven’t done a big semi perm board. Always tearing it up for new toys.
Big respect to people that can manage huge pedalboards on stage, I know damn well I would probably just use my amp for my tone if I ever start gigging.
that's true. I don't wanna start a fight but that's all you need basically. with many pedals you got many things to go wrong and carry (literally). so having your own amp feels much more like home in tone aspects. pedals are cool, but not so much when you can't play without them. well, that's how I see it. the most important is to have fun with them and enjoy your sound
Too much disposable money Normal people would have to sell the other stuff All very expensive gear Must be nice No hater tho just saying
@ some pedals are kinda necessary though. delay, reverb, fuzz and a boost or overdrive as well as a modulation pedal (univibe, phaser, flanger, chorus, tremelo, etc.) you don’t need all those modulation but generally you need at least 1 drive 1 verb 1 fuzz 1 delay and 1 modulation pedal. Not trying to tell you playing with just and amp is bad or impossible, just that a gigging musician needs quick access to a number of sounds and pedals are the best way to do it (generally speaking)
@@Otis-Isom And if you're not showing up to a gig with a tuner of some description, I don't care how good your band is, no-one wants to hear the tuning song.
@@ZachShannon1 yeah, my tuner pedal broke recently and its been rough. Im trying to get another one really soon before my next gig. But I must say good rock n’ roll is just a hair our of tune.
What a fun build! So glad you love it! ~Rig Dr.
Is there a wiring diagram for the interface that was built? The drill template was included but no details on what is inside the box. That would be appreciated!
that sound at the start is just killer
The HXFX has been the center of my pedalboard since getting one of the earliest ones. Love it. I am curious if you are going to share any of those sounds as you have with your Kemper profiles.
Why not just get a Schmidt Array board? They’re tanks and they have a simple lift top for both your boards.
toooooooooo heavyyyyyyy!!!!
SA board would make more sense for his touring board, not the studio board.
@@PondoSinatra680 why not just get another one of the Vertex board, they're lighter and are actually made to travel. You can't travel with a SA board unless you can carry it on, otherwise you're fucked!
You cracked the code! So glad to finally see a pedal board video for us studio musicians, rather than traveling ones. Excellent approach to enabling quick swaps!
He has not said an option after the Pedalboard for AMPs to DAW (home Studio). That would be the next good discussion
Am I the only one to hear quite a lot more hum than usual ?
Ed Snlk looks like the “doctor” made a boo boo... 😂
@ he meant to do that 🥱
I finished building my own pedal board over the last year. I followed along with a lot of Mason's content and I built all my own cables, managed everything, planned the signal chain, and purchased everything myself. It felt amazing, and he has been nothing short of a wonderful educator with his fine content! :)
Heck yea! Thanks JP! Glad you found it helpful!
Man, that first note i thought you were gonna break into Hey Hey, My My. Love the build dude :D
I think this will be a series, "Building My Dream Pedalboard" we always want more, nice video!
It's called, " the pedal show " .
Don't stop dreaming or building pedalboards. We can have one or two a week and that suits me just fine. I am not a publisher nor do i play to an audience anymore, but i still need to change a pedal out every two weeks for some reason. I guess because i can and it is an active hobby. One needs to get to the pedals without tearing an entire board apart. I use some wood i bought and made one. It holds 10 pedal's, and the only direction i seem to dream is more.
Great board but I think you should have go with new Stomp XL to get amp sims...
The HX is the center of my main board too, the i/o works really nicely with pedals. I go fuzz>boost>overdrive/preamp>HX>4cm through one loop> Flint in second loop, along with a noise gate>
Both of these guys inspired me to do a major pedalboard build this year. Went with a Boss midi switcher foundation, but purposely made the top (dirt) row much more accessible so I could tinker a bit and tailor sounds for a project. That Chase Bliss might put an end to that, though. What else could you need to fill in gaps? That thing is really impressive.
Heck yea!!!
Not to come down on Rhett as a I see this with most TH-cam channels and understand why it's necessary, but my god is consumerism ever bothering me lately. All I see now is guys showing off new guitars, amps, pedalboards etc.
Sounds so good! I wish you had presets for the Line 6 HX Effects!
Awesome but really only for people that have some money to blow. How about a pedal video for the average player. I'm not cutting your video down at all, just being realistic. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.
When I was young I played for years with just my first pedal, an Ibanez SD9 (Still have it and love it) and an Aria AD10 delay into an old 1968 Gem tube amp made in Italy.
To this day probably the sweetest tones ever. After tons of gear purchases.
I have a few others up my sleeve but I'll just leave it at that ;)
Awesome man!!! When is the backstage live show?
Rhett... I don't need to tell you this, but I will anyway. #1... you're a killer guitar player. #2... you're extremely talented when it comes to expertly explaining your gear, and #3... amazing videographer. Your production value is really second to none. I'm not even a full blown guitar player (simply acoustic campfire stuff), I'm a drummer. However... I still subscribe to you and watch everything you put out. Keep up the great work, brother.
Rhett, thank you for brining insightful, honest, and straight forward content. I also watch Rick B's channel and I noticed both of you have the same if not similar Event studio monitors. I have not found any content on either of your channels covering these monitors and why these were chosen for your studio. I have seen these nd the 20/20 for sale rather cheap and I am considering on of the pair for my first monitors vs new kali, jbl, or Adam. Anyway, since I alwys see the Events in the background there must be a good reason why you still use them vs something more current. Could you give your experience with your monitors and your reason for choosing them?
In the process of building a DIY pedalboard, with a similar layout (and an extended section to the right for my massive volume pedal). For the top level, I'm going to use either some door hinges or a gas hinge, and some butterfly latches on the left and right sides to keep it closed. I love the idea of having a patch bay - I might need to add something similar to mine!
I was inspired by the patch bay, too. I'll be copying that idea! Thanks Rhett! 👌
Excellent video! My grandma wears the same ring you’re rocking in this video.
The pedals underneath the Strymon bridge coudl've been attached upside down... and the bridge attached to hinges so it could've been tilted upwards to allow easy access to all pedals. Not criticizing, just a thought.
Dude, your pedalboard videos are always appointment viewing! Fingers crossed for some Backstage Journal sooner than later.
Probably should have had some kind of hinge on the Strymon bridge.
If I recall the point was making it so TSA couldn’t get in there.
The second board is Mason's attempt in creating that hinge. That is a vertex branded pedalboard. It's good, but if it could be brought down lower that would be better. You do run into those risks of "can I tweak this pedal?" Still, I think it's a very intelligent design and I like it.
@@RobertNolan I wonder if the original board could be modified to include a hinge. That seems very inconvenient to have to remove all those pedals and cables and screws just to alter or swap out a bottom pedal. And then if you forget to activate the pedal before replacing everything you have to tear it down again! Maybe use torx or hex head screws so TSA can't mess with it.
You have to wonder what non-musician TSAs must think of pedal boards. Right off the bat they look like they could be IEDs!
@@motomike71 yes it can likely be hinged, but maybe the idea is that he didn't want that. It was a set it and forget it board for tour. Figuratively, you find those sounds and you're done for a few months.
@@RobertNolan that's all good but it never works out like that. This board will be good for a while and he'll need something else. That's G.A.S., you have know choice in the matter, it's a disease. Good luck buddy, I know all about G.A.S., you need psychiatric help man, it doesn't just go away on it's own. It's no joke.
How are you liking the Cub 40R? Just received mine today, and so far it’s everything I’ve wanted in a simple tube amp.
Sounds sic !!!
I knew from the first time that it would not be the last
Need to stop watching these great videos. I’m going broke
So great to see a HX Effects being used. So underrated
Ok... being a bassist who can play guitar in a trio or do some solo gigs, I was looking at the HX Stomp and a few other pedals (for whatever set list - flexible and changeable). What’s the difference between that and the HX Effects?
@@lionsdenblog the HX stomp has amp modeling, the HX FX is just the effects. HOWEVER, you can load IR’s onto the HX FX.
Came here to say this:) for me the HX FX is the ideal. Yes it doesn't have amp modeling of the stomp, but as a multi effect it's just the bomb
@@PeterJaquesMusic You are right! Most of the effects are absolutely amazing in tone, and a few are even better than the originals. Not to speak about the handling possibilities - you can do things with the hx effects you can't do with regular pedals.
I would've bought it if it had audio interface
1:23 I'm mad about that kind of tones, you nailed it
That multi echo never fails to amaze me
HX Effects - not just for keyboard players on Backstage Live anymore! ;-)
I saw them Js. 🔥
Haven't we done this before? Oh, wait. We always do this. Carry on!
What is your take on Vertex and their history? I am nor in any camp.
Velcro is my friend. I like being able to change everything whenever. Permanent boards make sense I guess if there are roadies packing and unpacking the gear but that’s not a concern for me.
Wasted money..helix lt was enough for all..
Some recognition for the HX Effects! Best multi fx unit I’ve ever used sitting on a smallish board. Really a huge arsenal of usable fx that sound great. Great midi functionality too.
Is that your Marshall in the background?
I love how he doesn’t even recycle any of the old pedals, specifically how he tosses the Strymons to the side lol it’s nothing. He just tosses the entire damn board. More power to you, man! 😂
He likely has profiles of his favourite settings on the HX. At least he isn't calling them end all be all boards anymore, acknowledges the addiction.
I was following vertex Instagram posts just waiting for this video. Great job guys
Hey Rhett. I’ve done something very similar (if a little more limited in budget!!) for the same reason. Live board is too inflexible. HX effects is very powerful. Just wondering how you are powering the HX Effects?
Please do some tutorial for guitar amp recording at home:(
At times, I’ve put my modulation effects after the delay effects so the tails continue to modulate instead of being static in sound.
that's an interesting approach. I'll have to try that sometime.
do you go delay>mod>verb or delay>verb>mod?
@@owenandrew8108 at the time I just had amp verb, but I'd be curious to hear the verb in front of the mod!
@@jsk8et i also have amp reverb, that's why i asked haha
It’s a great choice and everyone should try putting effects after their reverbs if they haven’t already. Even better, put your Reverb and effects in Parallel to save them specifically for the verb. I use a Keeley Dark Side and a OBNE Dark Star(dimed “Mix” can achieve 0% Dry, 100% wet) in parralel, separate from my tone and it’s seriously the best thing ever.
@@atonofspiders depending on the stuff I’m using, I’ve enjoyed running a beefy sub octave effect in parallel with a pitch vibrato for some old synth feeling.
20min on how he built a regular pedalboard
That first board was logistically trash 😅
Dan would have never done something like that
Why's that? Making it for Rhett exactly as he wanted it? It's been rock solid for years and the intent wasn't to be modular.
Dan couldn't build half the pedalboards out there from guys like Mason, Omilion, LASD, Goodwood. He's a "one size fits all" guy and if he doesn't have a product for it, he can't help you. These builders above all build all the stuff custom to the player. Rhett asked for what he wanted, he got it. It wasn't diverted into a prefab product like Dan does in his builds. Ever see Dan make a custom buffer I/O box to order with custom loops, etc. I haven't.
This is the same guy who says Tube Screamers make his guitar sound "un-natural" and then plays an intro tone likethat...
Ah, the Rhet Shull coined Strymon Bridge.
Yes indeed!
@@VertexEffectsInc Thanks Mason!
This is exactly why I use an HX Effects as the core of my board. Such a versatile and powerful unit. I also have a Preamp MKII on the way. With those two pedals, you can replicate almost any sound pretty well...
Nice explanation of the reasons for, and demo of, the new board. Thanks Rhett.
A pretty and tight pedalboard is kind of like a model home. It's looks great, but it's not practical or "lived in". Changing one little thing can ruin the entire setup, or it's simple impossible to change anything without tearing the whole thing apart. I'm no pro. And I'm not in a working band anymore, but I'm fine with my sloppy pedal board so I can make quick changes and swap out pedals with out it being an afternoon project.
Did you say the plans for that routing box are somewhere? Was looking through the links and didn’t see it.
Mason posted them somewhere in the comments, maybe Rhett added them to the description???
I'm think you subout your OD/Dis/Fuzz for Automatone?
@Rhett Shull ... always interesting when you do these pedal board builds, love it. 👍 ... I see your mission to reduce your reverb usage has gone out the window the same way mine has! Haha ... Would really appreciate a video on how you get your headphone/youtube audio feed and live room sound to translate... I use Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 250ohm headphones... always have a great sound through speakers which translates well everywhere except through the cans ... would love some tips on how you deal with it (and I think many others suffer in the way I do) ... Cheers 😎
Dude, my entire board (strobe tuner, 9 different tube screamers and 20 watt amp *included*) could fit on the top bridge of yours.
What type of cables did you use to power the Hx effects with the Zuma9? I’m curious !!!
Hi there Rhett, great board, congrats!
I must say I am very impressed and curious by your guitar string action, at least as it is perceived in the videos. Would you be so kind to share how low you set them?
They must play as butter, but how do you manage to bend notes?
Thanks a lot!
I tried the helix hx effects at the end of my pedal board and it sucked away sound/tone nuances from my other pedals that much that I tuck it off . It’s sounds amazing on its own. Please tell me if you noticed this yourself and what you did to rectify this.
You can try a good buffer. There is one in the interface on Rhett's board. Mesa boogie and empress make excellent buffers you can use on your board. I turn the buffers off on my ES8 and run an in/out buffer on larger pedalboards. I like the empress buffer because it is also a boost pedal and has a bias adjustment. Good luck!!
Wow. Nice build! It’s crazy similar to my board. We have many of the same pedals, and I also used expression out on a tape echo (EchoFix EFX2). I used a Waggi 28 board- close to your Vertex in design. Great vid, as usual 👍😎
To have a pedalboard of any sorts allows for so many possibilities, especially the kinds you want!
"A New Style"? Yea that will help
I would like a show that takes a tour thru the equipment within your studio. The plus and minus and why you chose the gear that you currently use.
Anybody knows the tune at 10:05 or can recommend similar music? I love it.
There is no schematic for the interface. Ther is only the drill template and the list of materials.
Still rocking the Jordan 1s I see 😎😎 I love those. Another great sneaker is the Adidas Entrap High Tops. To my foot they feel like Jordan 1s and they are cheaper, both are great sneakers 👍👍
'Cutting a cardboard box open' should be a fuzz sound 😂
Can someone explain to me how that Strymon Zuma can provide enough power to that HXFX? After some googling, I saw that the HXFX needed about 1.2A. And even 2A for the initial start.
He is running it with one cable (500mA) from the Zuma. What am I missing here?
There are two outputs wires in parallel to double the current going to the HXFX so it's getting a bit over 1A of power. I couldn't get it to draw over 900ish in my tests with the amount of processing that Rhett is using. I've also seen Cioks and Truetone validate the same that 1A is sufficient to power these. I've never had a problem on the rig's of mine that use this product nor others in the field for several years. We have a tutorial on our channel where you can see how to make your own current doubling cable with your existing DC power cables.
How is he using an ES5 with 11 pedals?? I am so confused by switchers. I want to get a switcher but I don't understand that some people say an ES5 will support 5 pedals and an ES8 will support 8 pedals. If someone could explain this to me, I WOULD BE SOOOOO HAPPY. Thank you very much for your help and your time.
Still not a huge fan of that Chase bliss. I think it's just way too huge, and way too expensive. I know the motorized sliders make it more expensive...it's too much for me, sorry...I think the HX effects is an inspired choice, and I dig the fuzz space
How much would your tech charge to build me a pedal board like that one from scratch.....board/pedals/cables/labor ...the lot....😎😎
is there a problem with the hx effects in the chain subtracting sound and feel or is this solved with a buffer?
I use a hx effects with some other pedals, too (drives in front of the hx effects). As far as I know the unit itself is buffered, maybe 0,03 % of tone-suck. But every "normal" other pedal effects the tone of an amp anyway. If it is good enough for Rhett...
Masons does awesome boards and pedals. Love his stuff.
nice kicks bruv
What is the fourth pedal underneath the Strymon bridge? You show the Mjolnir, the Timmy and the Lightspeed, but the fourth one, with the red knobs... I must know what it is!
thought of selling the hx effects this week. now? I dont think so🤔
That first touring board screams for an intervention from gear addiction syndrome.
I create tracks all day... and used to use Pod Farm 2 to go thru hundreds of cool presets looking for inspiration for the next part I was tracking. There were so many cool fx chains (and song/artist styles) people made to download free, so there were hundreds of tones/sounds I would have never dialed in that I could use. Now I'd like to add something on my studio pedalboard ...to add that kind of variety of pre-made flavors I could use for my recordings. Does the HX Effect allow me to load up a bunch of presets like that... and do they still offer a forum to find & download for HX Effects? I use a Kemper for most amp tones now so that part is not needed. Thanks!
Hey Rhett - some time has passed: are you still enjoying your HX unit?
I love your videos Rhett and advice but I have to ask, why ask a guy to build your board that is pretty straight forward? That would take a day at most to get right and tested. And why the Ultra Phonix when there are so many other Dumble-esque pedals out there around the same price or a little more (Gladio for example) that do a better job. I found the Ultra Phonix very limiting tone wise and frankly lacking in quality.
when are we gonna see a guitar collection vid??
Anyone know how he’s powering the HX Effects? I can’t find a power adapter to connect it to a power supply like Rhett is using. Is it a custom cable?
I’m sitting through a 12 second charmin ad.
Just want you to appreciate what I go through to watch your stuff.
You’re welcome.
if you watch a lot of TH-cam get the premium its worth it
That crazy dly step-seq sound can be achieved on Way Huge Supa-Puss aswell. Now you know one more pedal. :)
Why people don't try GFI Synesthesia? It's probably by far the best dual modulation pedal on the market right now.
@14:14 Holland, Michigan? Because my country is called the Netherlands, thank you very much.
Do you still run your tape echo into the front of the amp?
maybe I'm just old school or maybe I'm just a simple man but my pedal board is ts9,mt2,ns2 thats it and i feel that 3 pedals is too much, I want to hear guitar not loads of effects. Thats me you and other people are different and view things differently thats just my 2 cents
its nice but the hx effects is a digital joke. you're only as good as your weakest link and you don't want that in your signal chain trust me. personally mine had noise all in the two effects loops sections, and the effects just sounded sub-par when compared to their analog counterparts.
