John uses a lot of wah in the "where the light is" concert and uses it a lot for the trio stuff. Sounding like John Mayer is tough cause he has literally used everything AND he's just an absolute god at guitar and I would say that is 50% if not 75% of his tone.

You have to turn the Q and the gain basically off. And push the pedal with the TS. If you leave the gain up on the q Tron it will clip when it peaks. Leaving both relatively off will prevent that. Also use your middle pickup. You’re welcome.

[@adrianhjordan1981]

And use your fingers not a pick to soften the attack.

[@joshsinclair1796]

The whole envelope filter struggle is why Jerry Garcia had an on board effects loop built into his guitars. That way the effect could always be hitting at the perfect response no matter where the volume knob was

[@alexswmr]

The mini tube screamer and the bad horse together was easily a Trio tone. It was super thick and creamy, but also sharp around the edges where it needed to be. The durple was definitely not the answer.

[@bombombom3204]

what about a ts + blues crab? (bluesbreaker clone)

[@williammartin3915]

FYI The Boss Octave is a nod to Jerry Garcia, who used the pedal with his Mutron Envelope Filter. So Mayer uses his with his Qtron to replicate some of Jerry’s tones.

The octave is used for Belief! He uses the polyphonic mode on the OC3 to emphasize the bass notes on the main lick

[@jaysonmakesmusic]

I believe John rolled down the tone knob on his strat and either used the neck or the neck and middle pickups. I also think playing with fingers rather than a pick would get you a little closer to the tones you’re looking for on “I Don’t Trust Myself” and “Rosie”

[@Gummmibaer]

I think the weak spot is the really dull amp. The pedals would sound great in front of a deluxe reverb, hot rod deluxe or any fender-style tube amp.

I must confess that I am not a John Mayer fan but this video is great in showing the thought process and method behind building a board and sounds from combinations of pedals. Many thanks

[@erictoniaschwab1009]

John Mayer ‘s board is actually less snooty than a lot of the pedal boards on the Gear Page as well as a lot of church pedal boards I see on any given weekend.

[@MrTonicAmps]

Envelope followers (filters) like the Qtron are very input level dependent. Jerry Garcia was a huge user of envelope filter and had an onboard fx loop built into his Doug Irwin guitars (Wolf, Tiger, and Rosebud) to avoid the inconsistency of trying to balance output level and getting the effect to sound right. If you work your guitar volume a lot, the envelope filter sound will change as you roll it back, until at a given point just fails to work. The onboard fx loop allows for the effect to have a consistent input level and performance while having a master volume on the guitar post fx loop to control the level that hits the next pedal or to the amp. Anyway, you can achieve the same thing with 2 volume pedals.

[@mcamp9445]

The octave pedal is used on Althea, cats under the stars, feel like a stranger, looks like rain and other dead songs. Qtron on estimated prophet, shakedown, Fire on the mountain, etc. Wah pedal is used for pre 1972 dead songs, after 1969 mainly used by “setting it in a single position for the song... not being varied. The phaser on Candyman, waiting for a miracle, some shakedown streets. Delay mainly used on JGB songs. Overdrive, Boss, too many to list. As with everything dead it’s all up for grabs as every song was played differently every time. Big part of Jerry Garcia’s tone was a fender blackface/silver face preamp into a solid state McIntosh MC2300 solid state audiophile amplifier through JBL K120 until replaced by 3 or usually four vertically stacked JBL e120s. This covers 1970 to 1993. Also most everything he plays and thus Mayer plays with dead and co is on the middle pickup with a split humbucker used from 1977 on.

Hey @andertons Mayer uses the Q-Tron for dead and co. They have a few songs where Jerry would use that sound. Jerry had an old pedal called a Mu-tron. Look up a Grateful Dead song called “shakedown street”.

[@ransombaggins9301]

Budget...which is why I have to rely on BIAS FX (which I picked up on a big sale). 😄 Great stuff, as always, guys.

[@jigsorbmr7910]

The key to a great envelope filter /auto wah sound is the blending of the full frequency unfiltered sound with the filtered sound. Your not going to do that by sending and receiving the entire sound through the filter. Bootsy Collins splits the unfiltered Mutron sound pre Mutron to one amp and the filter goes to another amp. With the Qtron plus there is an in and out plus a fx send and return which enables one amp to mix the 2 sounds. The Digitech Synth Wah pedal has a dry output as well as a wet output.

If you want thunderous lower frequencies, TS312 ($299 1000watts) much bigger than the ts308 and heavier. 36lb vs 20lb 2 cables, no iso power needed, super portable. That's way more below budget, and getting a lot more flexibility in my opinion.
