Landau Pedalboard

[@guitarguy911]

When I saw him with the Steve Gadd band in February of 2020, he had two boards. A wet/dry type setup. You can find pictures from Vertex Effects. The first board looked like this; Overdrive/Dirt section Way Huge Green Rhino (unsure of the model) Maxon SD-9 Chorus section: Way Huge Blue Hippo Univibe: Drybell Vibe Machine (it was a red version 1) Tremolo: Suhr Jack Rabbit And a Boss FV-50L volume pedal Then on the second board, there was a Strymon Bluesky and a Strymon Timeline along with an expression pedal and I think there was a buffer.

Thank you Michael for sharing your music with humility

[@mirousweden]

One of the greatest session players

[@chrislestermusic]

He is a monster of tone and tasteful chops.

[@n2motocross]

Amen brother.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

THE monster

[@lorenzmuller3542]

Where can I hear that fast leslie arion sound? Any albums or songs???

[@dan19630]

Definitely a departure from the big racks that he used in the studios in the 80s and early 90s. Simple set-up and it sounds great! But I would hate to do all the tap dancing that could be involved with going back to a pedalboard.

[@luckylicks3497]

Great signature sound.

[@serginhoguitarra]

Great tone!

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

" ... That are NIIiiice ..."

[@Migueltxum]

Where is the power supply? batteries?

[@alanoffer]

I would like to have seen the reverb and delays he uses

[@ellonysman]

Did you enlighten John Mayer on pedal choice? 👊🏻👍😜🤘

[@mz2250]

He's running the pedalboard on batteries !!

[@alejandroblanco2071]

Just noticed that too & 5 seconds later I read your comment

[@fretbuzz59]

Natural? Umm, the pedal doesn't know the difference.

[@Jeff-11_354]

Power your overdrive with wall power, then with a battery, then with a non alkaline battery and see if you still feel that way. You may be surprised.

[@fretbuzz59]

Jeff Strittmatter Like I said, the pedal doesn't know the difference between a power supply and a battery; they're both DC. If there's a difference in the voltage--a new battery delivers 9.6V, for ex--there might--MIGHT--be a slight difference. Other than that, no.

[@Jeff-11_354]

... so have you tried it yet?

[@signof9.s838]

エフェクターって、コレだけ有れば充分だよね

[@raizo-poohsuke]

カッケー very cool！！

[@Sanghui23]

JUKJAE 적재 Korean handsome guitarist brought me here😁 and I love your play! 💕

[@sjirk]

his real secret is what's in that rack... Lexicon etc.

[@WickBeavers]

I love the stuff. I wanna get a New Balance endorsement. If I own a cool strat, can you recommend me? Where do I send the demo?

[@betoestrada7045]

Alguien sabe que chorus usa este maestr

[@bluppy4841]

Arion stereo chorus

[@mattiasansavini5593]

Great Mike! I have a question though: Why does he put the wha after the distortions? If I do so in my pedalboard, the modified true-bypass crybaby sounds like crap ... it becomes very coarse and the volume rises significantly. In my case, much better before the distortions, the sound and the volume are more homogeneous.

[@김파즈]

Mattia Sansavini wha after distortion makes wha range more dynamic but when you do this with cheap wha pedal it sounds cheap and crap. John, Guitarist in RHCP also set his wha pedal like that too with his original Ibanez wh-10

[@forrallofusplenty4342]

sounds like pedals to me...the amp was sweet by itself, how much more so if directly plugged into bypassing board

[@5four]

I'm certain the Suhr ain't hurting anything...

[@centrodeveteranosdeguerral8339]

What a hiss!

[@MrJackrockerman]

big tone.. wow wow!!

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Landau has a big delay and reverb sound most times I've heard him ... what gives?

[@lorenzmuller3542]

3:10 is now doing the tri chorus sound, right?

[@gerryguitar]

no Mike doesn't get the tri sound here.. just a fast Leslie sound from the Arion.. during this time Mike only used the Tri Chorus sound in the studio.. but not here.

[@lorenzmuller3542]

But it sounds so similar... I am not a guitarist that's why I'm asking. How does he achieve this 80s chorus sound nowadays? I think he only uses the leslie effect from the Arion.

[@gerryguitar]

He no longer uses the 80s Tri Stereo Chorus sound since he has sold his rack that he used during that time.. he also no longer uses the Arion.. he uses a Way Huge Blue Hippo chorus.. but you can find out about the Tri Stereo chorus he did use here.. facebook.com/DynoMyPiano/

[@lorenzmuller3542]

Does this emulate that 80s sound though?

[@ichisatori]

Mike! so how are you matching amp volume with cranked drive pedals? i don’t hear any major jumps, especially low jumps back to amp/pedal off. ???

[@superslonic]

I think it's just all pretty loud

[@lorenzmuller3542]

Where can I hear that fast leslie arion sound? Any albums or songs???

[@FabrizioPeretti]

In his last album

[@alcoyot]

He could really just skip the whole board and just plug right into the amp and be fine. No need for a 2k$ board.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I've been playing guitar since 1975 and I've never heard of this guy lol

[@frankfertier34]

I am french, playing drums since 1963, and I discovered Landau through Joni Mitchell's "Turbulent Indigo, in 1994, almost 25 years ago! ever heard of Scott Henderson, Allen Hinds, Greg Howe, etc... ???? Listen to "Dog cheese", here on youtube, 1984: Landau,Colaiuta, Klein, Tavaglione: great music

[@shovelheadseven]

Ive got you beat. I worked for a small guitar maker in Van Nuys. This guy Mike would come in and we made him at least a guitar a year. He was always real cool and always would talk to us. Everyone would freak when they would hear this but to me he was just this guy Mike.

[@StayHomeEatGreat]

You have heard him, just didn't know it was him. Jackson, Seal, Marx, Mitchell, Sanz, Hill, Huffman, have all called on him to bring the heat.

[@rauze4393]

Il n'a pas l'air de s'embarrasser du souffle... lol...

[@mojopin1122]

Ok-not the popular thing to say but...his tone comes from his inner ear and touch. Not his rig. Stop watching KZbin videos and work on YOUR craft.

[@swangonzalez4797]

an ARION? seriously?

[@mikkywhalan]

What? They’re great!!!
