When John Mayer Uses The Way Huge Aqua-Puss | 4 Examples

Contrary to popular belief, John Mayer does not set his Aqua-Puss as an always on pedal. In todays video, we will go over 4 times John has chosen to use this pedal for his signature slapback delay sound.

Love your videos dude really helps me out personally, as a newer player I struggle with when to engage certain pedals/finding certain tones and your videos really help a brotha out!

[@JustinJeske]

Thank you so much Bruce!!

[@EduardoLundgren]

Great video, Justin! As always... Thank you.

[@JonKaneshiroGuitar]

Just in time for me to listen on my way to work😉

Please do a video like this for the Providence Chrono Delay. Ive wanted to know more about how John uses and dials in his long delay settings.

[@maxcarlson5628]

Good news, looks like he just uploaded a video

[@alexanderroy5713]

Damn, they just keep coming. New day, new amazing video! 🎉

[@joshscus]

Great video! One thing however, that last example of Wild Blue, yes I’m sure the AP is on, but it’s not actually as pronounced as it seems in that clip. That exaggerated slap back is a result of being so close to his actual amp rig that you’re first hearing the rig right off the stage and then that slight latency as it comes through and out of the PA system

[@adrianhjordan1981]

Spot on. Unless the drummer also has some AP slapback in use too!!

[@Santaheckler]

I snagged a Mk2 for $50 locally…it’s such a great delay! It works for a lot of different stuff.

[@robertlevasseur8896]

I'd like to get my hands on an aquapuss because I really cant tell why this delay is any better than 90% of the other ones out there.

[@jpsatre]

Based on its sound it has that “warm” sound.

[@RJ_HTx]

Get a Boss DM3. I own Carbon Copy, Ibanez AD9, Boss DM3,and Boss DM2. Out of all of them I keep the DM3 on my board.

[@brandonjackson5865]

Joyo NASCAR is a warm analog delay. It might be a little too warm or dark but I’m not a delay guy but to my ears most analog delays will get you there. I wouldn’t pay more than a hundred for any analog delay and definitely give some of the cheap ones a try especially if it’s a first delay pedal.

[@ryersondodge1998]

Funny that was my first pedal I bought along with a green rhino and a ringworm love em all!!! But gotta say the slap back is the one I use most!!!!!

[@Ricardorochamusic]

Lots of research and information. Congratulations. Wonder if JM uses Aquapuss and T-Rex Replica in front of the amp or on the FX-loop.

[@collinjamesguitar]

Great vid but the Wild Blue vid from the SR Tour isn’t because of the Aqua Puss. I’ve watched the whole concert vid from that upload and it’s all delayed. It’s the recording. Some weird delay issue. 😊

[@ricardorochadias]

This videos series are great. I really love them. But I'd like to share my opinion despite of being not a great guitarrist or pedals specialist. And it is just because of my condition I like to say something. I got AP in my board for a long time by now and I had just searched for my ideal tone and tried to copy john's a lot. I tried different pedals and while some of them are not so great, some of them a great. It is too hard to tell apart pedal effects. Some of them are very similar and trick and few of us would really make it in a blind test. I am in the team that can not say it. But let us say that while it is interesting to know ones gear, the details and etc, it is not something we should matter. AP mkI and mkII are very similar. Also the tube screamers. Who can really tell them apart by listening (ts9, ts808 and ts10). John's tone is an inspiration to me but that is his sound, his "voice"... Still my inspiration, but now I am trying to discover what I really like, to deep in the sound that makes me happy. It is just my take.

[@leoncrest3427]

Hey Justin. I have a question. I allways wanted to know how John Mayer created his sound on Last Train Home (Ballad Version), but cannot find any videos on the internet. Would you consider to do a video about that in some time ? That would be so amazing.

[@Harry20000Hl]

Try looking at the Last Train Home gear breakdown Justin did on the channel, it might be able to answer some of your questions

[@Ayrton.Cordoba.V]

Hi Justin, Awesome video as usual mate. Which setting would you recommend on a DM-2W to get close to that aquapuss slapback ??

[@JustinJeske]

Hey Ayrton, cheers man! I haven't played the DM-2W so I sadly can't help you there

[@rodrigod2917]

The London guitarist has a good vídeo showing how the Surpo Delay gets quite close as it uses the same MN3002 chip

[@zendesignoutdoors4129]

Can you do a video about what John uses in Dead and Company?

[@allenhayesmusic]

Really interested in the Aqua Puss because the Strymon Timeline doesn’t appear to be as user-friendly

[@ahall3823]

They are two very different pedals.

[@allenhayesmusic]

@@ahall3823 for sure, but the AP seems much more intuitive

[@rockyyoytuno]

John Mayer used Timeline for touring along with an AP1…guess you could use both.

[@holybrad]

Timeline is a jack of all trades style delay pedal, Aqua Puss does one specific sound really well

[@allenhayesmusic]

@@holybrad yeah I am just adverse to instruction manuals I guess… 🤣

[@Sixyspam]

So many videos of j mayers gear. im like not that impressed

[@BopKitBill]

John M stuff looks and more to the point sounds awfully weak unless you're really into pop.

Awesome video, honestly, it sounds £2000 good to my ears

Bro, you're just saying that cause you own one too 😂

Bro, your obsession with this dude is unhealthy.

[@JustinJeske]

By that logic any KZbinr is obsessed about whatever topic their content is about. Why wouldn't I focus on the two players who inspire me the most when I have the current knowledge and the care to take the time to research this stuff in order to then share it with my audience? It's not like I only care about Mayer gear, I own two vintage Les Pauls, or listen to John Mayer exclusively, christ I could never workout then. Yet people like you think it's what my entire world revolves around which is very amusing.

[@billnelson5279]

​@JustinJeske keep it up, the content matters to some of us, it's helped me understand alot of gear that you can't just try at the store before I buy

[@phunkyjunkee]

@@JustinJeskeMayer just isn’t that good… and neither is his tone. Different strokes for different folks I guess. ✌️

[@adrianhjordan1981]

Did he use 2 delays for Vultures when he played it on TRY! because that is the definitive version. Would have been good if you'd actually covered HOW he used it rather than just play some clips and say that he's using the Aqua Puss. And that video of Wild Blue is the delay from the PA vs Stage sound, NOT the Aqua Puss 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@tomsandowtz]

It's almost like he has a video showing the JM Slapback and the settings and this is a separate video to give context of when Mayer uses it...

[@JustinJeske]

@Adrian Jordan Almost every single clip of the Sob Rock tour from the floor has that issue of latency between the PA and Stage. I thought it was pretty obvious I wasn't referring to that being the Aqua Puss slapback
