Gadget, Gadget, Gadget! | Joey's Sad Boy Pedalboard

I pared down my pedalboard for the last round of touring we did. I’m in constant battle with having my pedalboard be easy to use and quick to change sounds. I love using a switcher for that reason but what often comes with the switcher (this is more a me thing than a switcher thing) is that I always get carried away with the programming and before I know it, I’m having the pedalboard make decisions instead of me. This board is yet another attempt to sneak back some spontaneity!
As always, it has not remained the same and I have new dreams/desires for the next pedalboard iteration. BUT, first, I have ventured into the mysterious universe of amp-building - say whaaaa?! Having fun over here in Gadget, Gadget, Gadget land. Also, if you didn’t know, Anna and I have a baby coming in the next few weeks, so while I won’t be preparing a pedalboard for tour anytime soon, I surely will be tinkering with amps in the basement 🤓.

Oh God! This video made my day! I wish I had a Anna Video Editor!

[@Angus.Maclean]

Now you gotta write a song with that board called “sad boy” (75% credit to Anna Salgado). 😢

[@Thebroslandreth]

Hahahahah, WILL DO!

[@Benz2112]

Anna's narrations on these videos always make me smile. Joey is still responsible for the SD-9 deep dive I went on. Keep on Gadgeting.

[@Thebroslandreth]

Three cheers for the unsung heroes!

[@MrAwesomeSaucesome]

I wish someone would cut in with a sad boy disclaimer when i was having a bad day 😂 bless yall

[@Thebroslandreth]

For a small fee we will do live cameos in your life with a bad day disclaimer.

[@MrAwesomeSaucesome]

@Thebroslandreth send me a quote 😄 i may try to piggy back a phrasing lesson on the encounter

[@nilsx3020]

Lovely editor input here. More of that Voiceover please. Get well soon sad boy Joey.

It's pronounced Lehle

Hahahahahahaaaaaaaa

[@onenotesolo256]

I knew it!

[@cechichan]

A hammond video in the living room would be cool !! Does Joey play the hammond too ? would love to see a bit of that ;D !! also really great downsizing the pedalboard and stuff sometimes, go take a look at Uncle Larry's intros , just guitar and amp usually, if yall dont watch already ;D Wish yall the best !!

[@jonlaurie-beaumont9830]

Here I thought he was a sad boy because he couldn't fit all his toys on such a small board.

[@10sassafras]

Pedalboards work best when they are all about the few sounds you use and not the plethora of sounds available.

[@GuitarTonePro]

Gotta love a pedalboard reset, I do this at least every 2 years, sometimes going all the way down to just my amps (Two-Rock and PRS Dumble-esque amps with overdrive channels). Then I slowly add pedals over the course of a year or two until I have too many and have to reset again. 😀 The best part is when I sell a bunch of pedals and buy some sort of high end amp or guitar, the slow upgrade treadmill.

[@joeylandrethmusic]

I know that one… mine all turn into studio gear

[@shenaniganursus3681]

We all know the real reason Joey is sad, is because he misses all the pedals from his proper sized board.

[@joeylandrethmusic]

😩

[@hotdotdog]

He pronounces his name as "Lee-Lah"

[@seanpatrickwatkins640]

Love the socks. Love the board. Love me some tweed tones. Mostly I'm just happy for you and Anna and Joanie with the new baby on the way. Love ya.

[@Mark_B585]

Love your tone, playing and gear 🤘🙏👏. Slightly judgemental about your socks 😐. Hope you feel better man.

[@Mark_B585]

Also would love to see a review of the Humboldt II sometime

[@joeylandrethmusic]

I LOVE THOSE SOCKS SO MUCH

[@Mark_B585]

@@joeylandrethmusic comfort socks I won't judge 😂

[@Orlando-wn4uc]

But where did you get those socks? That has to add at least 3 dB to the gain right? Sending love to help you recover! You always sound amazing!!!

[@nskdnskdnskd]

Hello Joey. I am a stuff at a guitarshop at japan. I was very impressed with the line out sound of this pedalboard. I would like to use it as a reference, so could you please tell me the signal chain?

[@gregkoelling615]

Nice board! Like many others, I've ended up with a bunch of extra pedals with nowhere to put them. What to do? Buy another board, of course! Heck, I bought the pedals because I wanted them and they're taking up space in the cabinet that could be used for other things. The new board showed up Saturday, so now I have the pleasure of deciding what goes where and how. Joey, I hope whatever is/was ailing you is gone in short order. Find a quiet room and play through your feelings. Be well.

[@MarcusV-q8q]

Be kind to yourself Joey. It's okay to not be okay all the time.

[@joeylandrethmusic]

🙏🏼

[@phladjki]

instead of midi for el cap - why not favorite switch? might be simpler

[@Alemski]

Let me put it this way.. he feels like I felt as I was on my way to cologne to see joey and the the band from Frankfurt and missed it due to traffic jam. I will allways regret it because of the special Acoustic Quartet . Ok Joey let me see the show again soon in Germany or Europe and put some more dates after your Denmark Gig in Europe. If not I will build the same Pedalbord and be sad. Please Joey!!!!! Best regards and wish you feel much better soon.

[@joeylandrethmusic]

SO SADDDDD

[@EJ_Crough]

I've heard Lehle is supposed to rhyme with tequila

[@Thebroslandreth]

Ah, that makes total sense.

[@jimamsden]

Maybe the next Joey pedalboard will be something like an FM9. Simplification without the compromise. I think, maybe?

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Been definitely thinking about trying one! Or a quad cortex… I just like the Tetris-ness of the stomp boxes…

[@vovokidx9691]

i have a question. can i use 12v. on lehle bolume mono s?

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Hmmmmm, not sure tbh… best read the manual. You *might* be able to get away with it but… dunno for sure

[@vwpete86]

Sure it takes anywhere between 9-15v.. I have one. The best.

[@buckm1477]

Silly question, but what tuner is on that board?

[@Sunrust-dg8il]

Joey, i know you were not feeling well but those socks…… just no they will kill your fabulous tone.

[@joeylandrethmusic]

I LOVE THESE SOCKS

[@Archtop78]

Love the videos and the music!!! Two pedals to check out…. Tulpa fx Tsathoggua…. Super killer tweaked Clark super gainster… the dude that makes them is a peach of a fellow….. all hand built and sound AMAZIMG! and like v1-4 original OCD pedals… I know… I know…. Im predicting they’re making a comeback… I play primarily lapsteel… I have an old rick B8 and a supro jet airliner from the 50’s… it’s hard to find pedals that jive….the OCD jives…. I know… I know… it’s sad… but it’s true…. So 🤷🏼‍♂️ ✌🏼

[@Thebroslandreth]

Good tips!

[@fernandoall14]

Hey Joey, you're one of my favourite musicians! Could you recommend some tracks from those Ry Cooder records??

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Love to! His latest release with Taj Mahal is wonderful. As well as the record before that, Prodigal Son. Also check out get rhythm and bop til you drop. Killer records!

[@YMESYDT]

I might be biased because I love stripped down rigs but that sounds fantastic, I'm excited to see you make the most out of these

[@kevinsutherland2207]

Man that tone is killer! You always make we want to run and pick up my guitar and slide … And then I do and have to put it back down cause it so doesn’t sound like you’re playing LOL

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Way too kind of you to say! Just don’t put them down!!

[@kevinsutherland9756]

Haha! Never gonna happen! My one addiction 😎 Looking forward to all the future inspiration 🤩

[@DareBear2099]

I thought this was going to be a Sad Boi pedal board (which is a pop-punk adjacent genre) and got excited. Turns out this is more of a Nashville Blues Lawyer sound (odds are you probably brew or have brewed your own beer at some point). Disappointed in that regards but enjoyed anyways. Great tones.

[@Thebroslandreth]

No home brew, but would like to get shirts made that say "Nashville Blues Lawyer".

[@JamTagg]

Joey, hope you feel better soon sir! Keep the faith and thanks for cranking this one out. Always love to hear you play, even when you may not feel ‘on’ as it were. Sign of a true pro! 🙏❤️👍

[@Thebroslandreth]

THanks!

[@andrewhensley8553]

What size board is that?

[@bjfox620]

So much love to you Joey, Anna, and the whole gang. You’re each a gift to the world ❤

[@mgammill]

Get better Joe boy! Even not feeling great you sound incredible!!!

[@edtweed5e4-a]

Another brilliant video thanks Joey and Anna, its funny how we all keep adding pedals and options trying to recapture/reignite the puure musicall fun of just plugging in a decent amp and trugint it up! I'm especially guilty of this so thanks for the reminder to keep it simple and re-focus on the guitar playing Joe! Hope all you lovely people are keeping well in Bros land.

[@joeylandrethmusic]

I built a brownface deluxe with some help from Ron at Cutthroat Audio and it sounds amazing… the next video will be featuring that thing I think!

[@lewisgeyer1440]

Amazing tones, through and through.

[@IL2TXGunslinger]

Awesome to see a new video from you Joey! Thanks - but somehow I don’t imagine your big board is gone for good…..

Neverrrrrrr

Phenomenal Tweed tone! Hope you feel better.

Joey, your rig sounds GREAT through the Simplifier Mkii!! Curious about how you feel it stacks up against other direct solutions you've used (Two Notes and the like)?

Thanks, guy;)

Ever try a swart space tone tremolo? That can get pretty nasty tweed sounds. Little guy at 5 watts !! Cool new board, hopefully see ya back in calgary soon Cheers 🍻

[@TimHeerebout]

The best part of this is how much like Joey's tone it sounds without an amp. Awesome! Makes me want to test the new Simplifier. Any comment on how you monitor this rig Joe?

Sounds great Joey - great to see you using the Troubadour...the whole setup sounds really nice.

Joey and a small board? It'll never last.

[@Thebroslandreth]

Already doubled in size.

[@markhammer643]

1) Congrats on the imminent new Landreth. I'm sure Joey knows the joy that having a sibling close in age can bring. 2) I have a dual loop selector I'm not using, with the magic ingredient of order-flipper switch, for instant reconfiguration of a pedalboard without having to repatch anything. Simple, compact, and always useful. It's yours if you want it. Just let me know, and I'll pop it in a box to ya. Vibe-into-drive OR drive-into-vibe at the flick of a toggle. Cheers Mark

Get well soon bud! Nasty bug going around Winnipeg. Our family all got it and it sucks. Also…when your idol simplifies his board, “well looks like it’s about time I do the same”

[@DougMcArthurMusic]

I visited Paul at Stereobus recently and poked my head into the workshop when he was giving me a tour. I could tell at a glance that you have put a lot of work into your setup! And based on this vid and what I heard at your show at the Burt, it sounds like that hard work paid off. Your tones are always super tasty!

[@joeylandrethmusic]

I heard you came by!! Sorry I missed you but glad you popped in!
