Josh's Pedal Board (with Paul Gilbert)

Today I'm showing my pedal board and how I use all the pedals that are on said pedal board. The board contains pedals that I use and the pedals are the board that I use. It's complicated stuff. Thanks to Sweetwater for having me and Paul Gilbert! Tell me what you think about my board in the comments!

I absolutely love Paul's 'technical' questions on Josh's effects choices.. 'How fast can you do that', 'what is that feeling', 'where does that come from'. Kinda reinforces that these electronic devices are there to make music and release emotions from you. Wonderful.

[@jppagetoo]

Paul is always so positive about guitar playing. No matter what your sound is he finds a good thing in it to focus on. That is probably why he is such a good teacher. he doesn't make you play like somebody else. He encourages you to find "you" in your playing. But, don't be fooled, Paul is as good a guitar player as anybody.

[@rickc2102]

He has those monster spider hands. God, what I wouldn't give to have monster spider hands!

Mmm, Paul Gilbert is easily Top 10 Guitar masters alive today!

[@BennieTarrMusic]

Absolutely!! One thing that's bothered me throughout life is that every music teacher I've met tried to teach me how to sound like them. I'm an English teacher and I try to let my students speak in their own way. I guess music is obviously more ego infested, so it's not everyday you meet a teacher with Paul Gilbert's attitude...

[@12ryudragon]

"Paul is as good a guitar player as anybody". What do you mean with that? Cuz I know a lot of Guitar players and nobody is as good as him

[@guitarsimon1]

This is as good a summary of PG as I’ve ever read

Paul is such a cool, down to earth guy. He could be chilling with a beginner guitar player and would genuinely react as if the person was the most amazing guitarist he has ever seen. The music world needs more people like him.

[@BillHaleyInTheComments]

Seconded

[@lockyp204]

But more importantly- he listens. Can you imagine any other shred master doing this? They would have grabbed the guitar within the first 3 minutes, or lost interest because they consider themselves a superior guitarist

[@eole123456789]

@@cooperhamilton6141 Right. He kept interrupting, trying hard to be funny instead of talking about the board, he was pretty obnoxious

[@defacedmusic]

What I love about Paul interviewing is that with each different sound he asks where it will be used and what emotion it conjures, so many times guitarists make tones for the sake of having access to them but dont know stylistically or artistically where they fit in the context of writing or playing music. It's a unique approach that more players should consider IMO.

[@Piplodocus]

Exactly. I've seen various posts on board forums of "I've got these pedals now, what pedal type shall I buy next?". Which leaves me just thinking dude, none. What do you think this is just a collection and show-off forum? I've never asked anyone what type of pedal I should buy like it's collecting stuff for the sake of it. Sure I've got lots of pedals but I always wanted them before I bought them, and saved or spent money I shouldn't have, never just for the sake of it. You don't need to buy any pedals unless there's a sound in your head or a texture you're trying to achieve you currently can't.

Andrew Pappas Is Pappas a fairly common name? In Houston there is a Pappas family in the restaurant business. Seafood, BBQ, Mexican , etc. they’re all good but noisy but most restaurants everywhere are too noisy. I went to high school with the Pappas brothers, Chris and Sewel, might be misspelling Sewel’s name. Year’s later one of them died in a car wreck I believe.

[@andrewpappas9311]

Mr Big was one of my first concerts. Spokane Washington. Just a few weeks before ”to be with you” came out. I was just a kid. Gilbert and Sheehan blew my mind and at that moment I knew I’d be a musician for the rest of my life. Now I’m still playing and broke. Lol.

Never trust a guy with a volume pedal. He'll set it low then when you match his volume he cranks it so you can't hear yourself playing. Just kidding, although I did know a guy with a louder amp than me that did that with his guitar volume knob when I first started playing.
