Recreating My Guitar Rig From 20 Years Ago (Y2K Content)

The "Hotel California then a metal song" was sooooo accurate

[@cklab_official]

If this didn't happen, were you even in a high school band in the 90's?

[@joshuafreedman7703]

Neuri He did NOT call Hotel California a "metal song"; he SAID that band (that he was in) would play Hotel California, and *then* (meaning: the next song they'd play) a metal song. Why, since Y2K, have people slowly stopped being able to read, write, listen, hear, and learn, and be able to pass on what they've learned? It's like people have slowly become more catastrophically stupid.

My late high school/early college band was also playing a Y2K party on Dec. 31st 1999. At 11:45 we started a cover run through of a bunch of Misfits, Black Flag, and Dead Kennedys. At midnight on the dot (when the countdown struck 0) our friend that helped carry our gear at shows flipped the breaker. It was planned by the host and it completely freaked out all the guests. He kicked the breaker box back on and we topped it off with TV Party by Black Flag. It was one of the funnest gigs I ever did and I was in several band over the years since.

[@paulxaviercyr]

20 years ago... I was about to age out of a group home, owned little more than a black MIM strat, Fender Bassman 25, a Boss blues driver and a trash bag of clothes. I remember laying out guitar magazines to the pages that featured songs, riffs and anything that I could read and play. Not that long ago, I happened across an old spiral notebook, pages riddled with tabs and lyrics I had written out. I noticed there were smudge stains here and there.... From sweat, sad songs, might have had tears... I was a nervously troubled young man who just wanted to find a way to express himself. Even today, when I pick up a guitar and close my eyes, for a moment, I feel the need to escape into the instrument.

Now in my 50s, I've looked back at what I used in the 80s playing in a cover band. I had a Mach I Flying V (no idea, but it looked cool and was cheap), and a Peavey Backstage Plus. It had a cool reverb. The only pedal I owned was a Boss Compressor that my mom bought me after I asked for a chorus pedal. The store owner told her that they didn't have a chorus pedal, but the that the compressor did the same thing. Poor mom. I got some use out of it though, and I had a blast figuring out how a band works together to pull of playing songs. I eventually bought a Crate min-stack. I loved that amp! I wish I'd have kept it. I've only ever owned solid state amps, and I'm not ashamed.

I’ve been using a Marshall Origin 50 *I just decided to stop there, with no punctuation, so my comment may bring you the same Cringer moment that I had reading yours.

@@dragostego No, J Cruise is saying there isn’t much difference between a nice tube amp with an Distortion pedal(don’t know why he went with distortion, but maybe cause SS amps don’t usually get an overdrive tone), and a Solid State amp’s distortion. Well...he actually was saying that folks who dote over their _awesome_ tube amp, but use distortion pedals into it are the cringiest.

[@j_c_93]

@@CorbCorbin I guarantee you couldn't tell the difference between a tube, solid state, and digital amp through a blind test.

You understood what I said which means that I communicated effectively.

I love the solid state sound, fast, direct, controlled, nothing gets lost like in the saggy, spongy sound of the tubes. You just need a good speaker like an Alnico Creamback or Gold and the tone and response are just there, after all the speaker is extremely important but often gets overlooked. Most solid-state "haters" haven't actually heard an ss amp through a real cab. That's what I have personally concluded anyway, I play from country, surf and rockabilly to post-2000's metal and for my playing style and classical musician mindset it's just perfect. No distractions from playing, just solid, consistent and accurate representation of what I'm trying to say. Also unbeatable "in your face" sound for recordings.

This is why I love Quilter amps. This is a perfect description of what those amps do. Sunn SS amps are also representative of this.

[@michaelsnydermusic]

I was in the same situation at the same time. I used a DoD Bass Tec 200 (?) multi fx pedal for basically everything. And you know what? It worked great! I still have that thing and it has an effect I can’t find on any non-boutique pedals: a weird auto appregiator that leaves your signal intact but adds harmonic appregios to the tail like a delay. It’s a crazy cool effect.

[@dougan4348]

Not sure why you ever left the Zoom. Sounds as good as anything else.

[@Swithyyyy]

Man, Harmony Central and then Mapquest?! Pulling at all my nostalgia strings.

Hey, you got a MySpace?

"proof I have a problem collecting things" look in the background there's 8 boss ds-1`s and potentially 2 more a few shelves up. did we need "proof"?

[@craighambo]

I have 3 just in case the first two fail and they are not even part of my regular pedal board.It was my first pedal I loved and thrashed when younger.

[@solomonlee5298]

This episode is making me extremely nostalgic. Especially when toy went thru the zoom 505 and your 1st "pedal board"... the Daddy-O, many of those were me and my friends first as well. Growing up in the 90s and even like the first 5 years of the early 2000s and was a real treat and I'm grateful for the experience.

Hey, I want to say thanks. Your humor has drawn my wife to like the show now. This episode made me reflect on the good ole days, Y2K. Loved your mentioning of STP at the end. I love Tiny Music and No. 4 as well. Saw them the same year in Pensacola. From one Alabama boy to another, keep up the good work, sir!!

My silver stripe Peavey Bandit is the sound we've all been looking for this whole time?

[@NoirEater]

My original pedal setup was heavily influenced by Matt Tolbot of Hum.

[@madsandersen7599]

Still have my rig from 25 years ago. Modded Mexico strat, 15w Squier amp and a Metal Zone 🤘😎

[@hubertvancalenbergh9022]

My gear in 1982: Ibanez ST100 6+12 doubleneck, Peavey Classic 50 amp with extension cabinet, Fender volume pedal, EH Hot Tubes, EH Electric Mistress, MXR 100 phaser (hardly ever used), Crybaby wah (not often used) and Roland RE 201 Space Echo. Stuff I tried and decided against include Ross phaser, Ross equalizer, Ibanez Tube Screamer (believe it or not). My spare guitar was a seldom-used Fender Lead II. I wish I'd kept the Mistress and Hot Tubes. The Ibanez too - it was one of the very few doublenecks around with a perfect balance.

That’s Zoom 505 took my back! It was what got me started in pedals. Now I can’t stop buying and trading them.

Cool restrospective exercise, as a pedal geek myself I enjoyed your journey, thanks for sharing ! Just missed a gig with all pedals on. Just because.

[@cheenu711]

That record time made me so happy. As I've gotten into more STP, I've heard so much good stuff but nothing Atlanta from that album. What a band and what a song.

[@musicisfree91]

I'm fortunate to be old enough to get into into STP when they first came out, Atlanta is one of my absolute favorite STP songs.

You and I being about the same age Josh, I was literally scrounging through buckets of old baseball cards and collectibles last night at about 12:30 looking for my original pedals. I built my first distortion pedal In my high school electronics class from a kit I purchased. It blew up my amp three times, after the third time my parents said I couldn't play with it anymore. First amplifier was a fender vibro champ 1977 with the hang tags still inside it. still have this amplifier and I'm super surprised that this $100 special is now worth seven times what was paid for it in 1996. First guitar was a 1993 Mexican strat lake placid blue with a maple fretboard. still have this as well but it doesn't get a whole lot of play time cuz the frets are beat the shit and there's a hairline crack running down the middle of the neck. My second generation of pedals included a DOD distortion that I sanded down and painted gold from its original red, which was then replaced with a boss DS-1 and later a boss CE-2 and Dunlop wah pedal came home to roost. Either my junior or senior high school I ended up getting a crate half stack tube amplifier brand new from the music store for $400. somewhere along the way I traded in those three pedals for a boss ME-50, as far as multi effects go I think this is probably one of the better units ever made in my opinion. that being said I still have mixed feelings about the nostalgia around giving away those original pedals.

I got my first electric guitar in 2001. It was a Crate Les Paul that I plugged into a RP-200 a DS-1 and a Dunlop Hendrix Wah, played through a crate 15 watt. I gave the guitar away to be repaired and given to a young player in Seattle in 2017.
