Gadget, Gadget, Gadget! | Joey's Small Board Build (Pre-Build)

I’m building a new pedalboard for tour this year and I’m going to walk you through a few choices and ideas. We’re going to post a few videos so stay tuned for a few more board build vids!

[@MJLake1.0]

Hi Mr. Landreth! Have you not seen the big news? The only pedal you need is the Bad Monkey! Certainly easier to travel with than a board!😁

[@famousdavemusic]

Too expensive. Buy a Kemper instead.

[@ToneDeth.]

Bad Monkey even has a cab sim out!

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Hahahahhha. Oh boyyyyyy. I can’t afford one now!

[@Allann882]

Actually you don’t need the GFI system pedal cause MC6 pro can do it too…

[@koenfilius1467]

You could use the Love bomb as the pedalboard and put all the pedals on top it! Kill two birds with one stone

[@Thebroslandreth]

Considering…

[@briansilengo3907]

Love this!! Gadget, Gadget, Gadget would be an incredible series of videos! Thank you so much for taking the time to put it all together!

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Definitely going to try! Thanks for watching!

[@HenriGuay]

Way to go, Joey! Way to go editor/wife! I lol'ed a few times.... Stand-up duo as a side gig? 🤣

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Absolutely! Unfortunately this is our only bit…

[@jamiefischer2059]

No golden boy?

[@PhilDoughty]

"Joey's Small Beard Build" is what my dyslexic brain first read

[@Thebroslandreth]

So many people said the same thing! I know what we’re doing for our next series.

[@carpediem4413]

Hi JL, great show in Detroit! Bought the Mjolnir @ the show. Can you describe the unique qualities of your sig Mjolnir 2023 as there isn’t a lot of info (vs. Wildwood version or an original Klon). Thanks and see you next year… The ARK in Ann Arbor is a better venue for viewers BTW. 👍

[@christophthielemann1849]

How come you don‘t use your Golden Boy on the board? Cheers

[@joeylandrethmusic]

I’ve been leaning toward different circuits these days.. still adore the GB!

[@adamkrauss303]

Geez, by the time you’re done with all the “routing” and midi controllers, perhaps you should just use the Switcher 😅, although I understand a lot of that will live under the board.

[@Pstaines439]

WTF the Love Bomb, did they ever want people to use that?

[@billsherrington5996]

Great stuff Joey. Would be great to see and hear the board when completed!

[@noakwesterberg]

That Love bomb is indeed the opposite of small!

[@Angus.Maclean]

Nice! I love G3, but want an ML10x for an acoustic board and smaller board when needed. I also find it helpful to control some of G3 with the MC8 due to the multiple scribble strips.

[@michaelfloyd4917]

Just the one gig in Australia, at Bluesfest? Am I getting that right?

[@CrazyCalabrese78]

When are you guys coming to Australia?

[@samdeters6162]

Honestly you're one of my favorite players to listen to talk about gear. If you started doing regular videos like this about your approach or gig blogs etc.. I'd be a regular viewer/listener

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Thanks so much!! I’m definitely going to try to do a little more video stuff! I’ve tried in the past but I’m no good at the video side of stuff. Thankfully, my wife Anna is so she’s going to help me!

[@adrianhjordan1981]

"Wife/editor here..... No" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@vargheseanand]

Love the editor's commentary 😂

[@Psychograce93]

I checked the website but no Europe shows showed up. Any chance on coming to the lowlands?

[@Thebroslandreth]

We’ll be back later this year!

[@ostrich888]

SMALL board???

[@boabglen]

No fuzz or drives?

[@brandongoodman1017]

This guy is the bees knees

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Awwwwww shucks!

[@chrisfit]

You could clone or capture the love bomb in a Tonex yeah?

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Bahhhhhhh where’s the fun in that?! Hahahah. Mostly kidding of course. I’d rather just find something else!

[@glencruciani]

I thought you said you were creating a small board 😂 . Man, you need like 3 pedals, and that's it! Especially with your talent, guitars, and amps.

[@adamcaveproject8299]

JOEY! You've gone down the rabbit hole on your boards man, congrats. When are you coming to California? Let's go!!

[@thierrylecuyer1507]

Out-geeking 99.9% of us in knowledge, tone and licks, only Joey can pull off the World's Largest Overdrive (on a small board project). This is awesome, hope to see you dudes in Ottawa later this year!

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Not even I could figure out how to get it on the board;) but it’s such a great pedallllll!

[@jmfreeland]

I bet you Simon and Gareth would build you a touring version.

[@rjdblues80]

Damn your little board is my huge board, I saw Ariel posens and Tom Bukavacs little boards, now those are little boards!

[@masterofreality230]

I would like to see how you use the Generation Loss. I have one sitting here, and I just dont know if I am gonna keep it, such a cool concept, but for me, a $400 pedal has to be up there with one of my favorite pedals to justify keeping it.

[@bigdummeh]

Curious about your choice to use multiple Remote Loopys vs a single ML5 for your gain switching. As far as I know the ML5 is not buffered like the 10x and would be a similar footprint to two remote loops while having an extra loop. Looking forward to how it turns out.

[@YMESYDT]

Since you're worried about space, did you consider mounting pedals underneath? I found it very useful, particularly for overdrives and such that are typically set and forgotten

[@jonathandulin8753]

Your mannerisms remind me of Zach Boyles from Mythos.

[@joeylandrethmusic]

He is my other mother brother soooo. It’s in the blood

[@jonathandulin8753]

@@joeylandrethmusic while I have you-come to Memphis.

[@andrewcapili]

Did I miss the drive and fuzz section of pedals?

[@trebleboost7]

That is one sophisticated setup! Nice. Would love a flow diagram.

[@charliewesley94]

Joey's small board has more fancy stuff on it than my big board. Very interesting to see your thought process.

[@Grant_Ferstat]

I guess I'll see the finished product in Perth...

[@Lorneplumber]

Click yes before watching

[@GuitarsOK]

Yesss! 👏 hoping to catch you guys out! We can’t wait to hear your live sound! 🤘😎🎸🎶🎶🎶

[@craiggomez18]

I’m excited to see the board in stages of your build! I was blown away with your last board and the wet/dry/wet configuration you had, interested to see how this one turns out! Cheers!

[@heypockyway6652]

Because…tone. -Joey Landreth

[@nowwhat1]

Love the wife/editor comments!!!

[@SSvebor]

But, but...where are all the fuzzes?! 😱

[@EdgeOfFuzz]

Can't wait for the full build! The last board was a huge inspiration for me and I incorporated many elements of it which helped me be more creative.

[@thomasnissen1402]

Bro you are looking jacked!

[@horizonishere]

Can’t wait for the addition of ten fuzzes

[@andrewarcher2773]

Thanks - keep them coming

[@Zakkiss]

Can’t wait for part 2 ;) what about SD-9? 😂

[@DylanAlthouse]

Ever have the little one destroy anything? I couldn’t keep my boys away from my pedalboard for the first 8 years or so😂

[@joeylandrethmusic]

All my stuff lives at my studio which isn’t in the house but when Joans comes to the studio every knob gets turned and all the buttons get pushed. It’s a toddler’s dream!

[@joseph_lacy]

Can’t wait to see you in May!!

[@onixtheone]

I say leave all the pedals at home except the love bomb, literally go on tour with that one beast..you’ll be fine!

[@joeylandrethmusic]

But then the video would be too short!!

[@brandonpost3448]

Are you using any drive/fuzz pedals? I didn't understand ALL of this sorcery, but didn't see any drive/fuzz. Is that just straight volume knob and gain on your Two Rock?

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Maxon SD9 and some sort of FF! I’ll chat about it in the reveal!

[@erbo1808]

@@joeylandrethmusic Tks but what about the amp ? Does it mean that your new double trémolo two rock signature won't follow you on tour ? Cheers from paris France 😊

[@koenroels4549]

Do you have a big board build too from last year? 😊

[@joeylandrethmusic]

I don’t but I think I’m going to do a rebuild at some point… it’s a big job!

[@tomgazella]

Still got that arion chorus I sold you?

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Yes!! It was SO close to making it on this board, too. But I chickened out at the last minute.

[@dpepke]

I imagine Joey sitting on the floor with pedals, cables and duallock all over - while we're all sitting in front of our computers waiting impatiently for his next build video.

[@annasalgado7003]

This is frighteningly accurate. I’m editing it as fast as I can, people! 😅

[@dpepke]

​@@annasalgado7003the concept of a wife-sanctioned pedalboard build is pretty incredible.

[@duncanplexico7590]

Hi Joey! Please come to Los Angeles!

[@joeylandrethmusic]

Duncan! Hey!! Will definitely be your way later this year!

[@GitShiddy]

No Mood? So is that loop for Drive All Night just going to be on a sample pad for the drums? Other than that inquiry, definitely can see the months of thought that's gone into nerding this board into conception. Look forward to seeing/hearing (possibly in person) the final result of your labours. Oh and loving the "editor" notes.
