John Mayer's Delay Pedal History - The Complete Guide

[@ginoinzo]

Terrific segment dude, keep up the great work man. Great insight and exactly the content us Mayer-heads want!

[@JustinJeske]

Thanks my dude!!

[@ryanforresterrenaissancesa4204]

I didn't know people were this obsessed about John Mayer.

[@solomonsanchez1897]

Me either. I guess I haven't heard something they have.

[@aaronlee1129]

As a fellow JM fan, keep it comin man, looking forward to more stuff from ya

[@afterjoe3042]

Great vid! Crazy to think that Jeorge Tripps was responsible for the Aqua Puss 1, 1.1, 2 and 3, the SupaPuss, the DL4, the Dunlop Echoplex, and the Carbon Copy!

[@JustinJeske]

I know, it’s crazy. Such a brilliant designer he is!

[@OLDGUYSK8R]

History of reverb next please!

[@JustinJeske]

There is nothing to really say in terms of reverb. Usually Amp verb and the odd rack unit that’s it!

[@OLDGUYSK8R]

@@JustinJeske I’ve seen a flint on his board before so wasn’t sure if there’s maybe been more.

[@JustinJeske]

@@OLDGUYSK8R yeah I mean the Flint’s mail use is for the Trem side. John has rarely used the reverb side. The Neunaber Slate for Love On The Weekend as well but that’s a one song thing!

[@OLDGUYSK8R]

@@JustinJeske gotcha. When he was demoing his PRS amp at namm I believe also he used the flint to add reverb for the amp. Could be wrong but I thought that’s what he said. I’ve seen others ask but would be cool to see a video on gain stacking!

[@JustinJeske]

That’s totally possible cause the JMOD does not have built in reverb. But he used the Bricasti M7 units to take care of that for actual shows and performances. The only time I’ve ever seen him use the Flint’s reverb side in an actual live performance setting is during the 2019 tour when he felt like some bigger reverb sound but even then, it was not common at all. Yes gain stacking for sure I’ll talk about!

[@mickkraviz]

Great video, keep it up! I‘m excited for your reactions on the new John Mayer Tour gear of 2021 :D

[@JustinJeske]

Yes I’m super excited to see what he brings out!!

[@carterhudsonmusic]

Great video! Thank you for the thorough information.

[@moose5206]

Well done!

[@thib_frcs]

nice work Justin thanks !

[@matheusmatos1843]

Great video Justin!

[@plmr127]

Hey Justin, Great exhaustive video as usual ! Could you point to some examples of use of the dly4 please ?

[@bradschutz9401]

At 6:18, what's that Boss enclosure pedal between the Flint and Providence?

[@JustinJeske]

That’s the CE-2! Just painted black and possibly modded.

[@sammason1]

Loving your content man. Do we know if John ever makes use of tap tempo functionality, or does he tend to set and forget? I know he has the Providence pedal for example, but just wondered if TT is a feature he actually uses.

[@JustinJeske]

He does a bit of both! But he for sure uses tap tempo! There are a few instances I’ve seen during the 2019 Tour you could watch him tapping in the time!

[@rtbemt]

Hey love the channel lots of valuable info!!! I was wondering if you happen to know the settings he's using for the Chrono Delay?

[@JustinJeske]

Thank you!! Yes I’m doing a video on it very soon!!

[@drkdgler07]

Hi Justin, is there any chance you have the current Mayer settings for the Providence chrono Delay

[@TorsteinJN]

Great work! I wonder what his 2 delay times are on the Chrono Delay.

[@JustinJeske]

He used tap tempo not the A/B setting actually!

[@michaelf6147]

Appreciate your research and knowledge!

[@Florian-78]

Hi Justin, do you recommend the Providence Chrono over the Strymon Timeline? Thanks

[@orthos68]

Awesome videos, do you have any diagrams for downloading? thanks

[@christianmoller263]

Amazing videos man! Since the AP1/2 version of the Aqua-Puss is so difficult (and expensive) to get a hold of. Would you recommend getting a MKII or the MKIII Smalls for John Mayer sounds?

[@JustinJeske]

This is tricky. The MK3 is closer to the MK1, but John keeps on using the MK2 when he uses a reissue, not the MK3. And he has both. So I guess if you want the one he mainly uses then MK2, closer tone, the MK3

[@tele100]

I would love to see you compare the providence delay 80s and the chrono delay. I know they are different but it would be great to hear them side by side.

[@grosebud4554]

Love your channel! How do you feel about Phil Leah and friends with jimmy herring and warren Haynes.. would be cool to see their gear

[@adamstark3537]

Great video dude. I have a MKii aqua puss and a chrono delay. Both are brilliant pedals. Settings on the aqua puss are easy but do you have any suggestions on John’s settings on the chrono delay?

[@dale-john]

Im in the market for a new delay, cant decide between the Providence Chrono or the Free the Tone Flight Time, opinions?

[@JustinJeske]

I mean I’ve never played the Flight Time but I want one. I think you honestly cannot go wrong with either. Flight Time might be overall a better delay though.

[@Vigi]

Wow! That a lot of delay pedals. Great job with the research! :)

[@JustinJeske]

Thanks dude!

[@secretreleases]

Excellent content! Thank you & subscribed!

[@JustinJeske]

Thank you!!

[@searom]

Great video! Analog into digital or digital into analog? I have a aqua puss mkii and boss dd3, I use analog into digital, what do you think? Tks!

[@JustinJeske]

I don’t really care at all about Analog and Digital when thinking about delay order. I don’t think John does either. It’s more about having the slapback before the longer delays if he does need/choose to run them together.

[@henkkman]

Great niche content! Where does he put the CE-2 in the signal chain?

[@JustinJeske]

I have a whole video series on Signal Chain! But long story short he goes between after delays and before. I don’t think he is using it before the drives for Last Train Home I think it’s after drives before delay. More evidence is needed for this though!

[@del-cerro-bellavista]

Good information! Thanx!

[@frankhoxsey1177]

I have to say it, I feel like this video had been put off and then repeated.

[@JustinJeske]

Is that a delay joke? Haha

[@frankhoxsey1177]

@@JustinJeske it's a delay joke. I never said it was a good delay joke.

[@JustinJeske]

Hahaha I didn’t get it at first... then I had to repeat it in my head a few times. No pun intended

[@MrFrankie4700]

I’m really curious to know what John thinks of the timeline 😆😆😆

[@tommawson1119]

Is there a lot of difference between the two providence delays? What would make him (or anyone) choose one over the other?

[@JustinJeske]

Yes there is. While the Chrono is the successor, the 80’s is a different thing. The repeats are darker, it over all sits in the mix differently, and does the TES thing better imo. But the Chrono has the A/B feature, the digital screen and tap tempo. So it has got a better feature set.

[@searom]

Does he use a long delay in Belief WTLI? Solo only?

[@JustinJeske]

The intro not the solo!
