[@alessiograziani6355]

Grazie mille per queste spiegazioni. Vado subito a provare il compressore dopo l'overdrive!!! I prodotti Strymon sono ottimi!! Grazie

[@ARCHDEACONMUSIC]

Awesome video bro! I'm looking to upgrade my entire pedalboard in the next year and this is helpful. Is that the Pedaltrain Classic 2 pedalboard?

[@albertolombardimusic]

I think it's the novo 32

[@lucau7486]

sempre eccezionale Alberto. E un gusto musicale sopraffino, bellissimi suoni e molto interessanti le spiegazioni dei vari pedali e le loro posizioni

[@albertolombardimusic]

Dovrei farne uno sulla nuova..

[@parryhotter212]

Hi Alberto, I have a question in regards to the Fuzz pedal, As I noticed, the Fuzz pedal is in one of the loop of the Gig Rig, is it in a buffered loop or a non buffered loop? I'm planning to add a fuzz pedal into the loop of my pedal switcher, but am worried that I will not be able to get the full characteristic of the Fuzz.

[@albertolombardimusic]

As far as I know they're not buffered on the gigrig until you engage the volume boost/cut.. but I may be wrong

[@rudylefevre7312]

wow, great video! super explanatory and revealing at the right tempo to stay focused and learn a lot!

[@albertolombardimusic]

Thank you Rudy 🎸🎸

[@FaberGT86]

Grazie per il video Alberto 😊 richiesta esaudita in brevissimo tempo. Interessante il tremolo messo prima degli overdrive. Il compresore post gain lo preferisco anche io. Il Secret 1 gran bel pedale!

[@albertolombardimusic]

Hey, alla fine ce l'ho fatta

[@daniele3452]

Grandissimo Albe!!! Sempre splendidi questi video. Bellissimo anche lo studio e il nuovo setup video. Molto molto funzionale e piacevole.

[@albertolombardimusic]

Ciao Dani, grazie mille

[@fuzzylogickben]

Fantastic video. I've been playing guitars for years and have had quite a few switching systems but watched this anyway because i loved the playing! Learned a few things along the way too!

[@albertolombardimusic]

Thank you!

Ciao Alberto! After watching an encore / "bis" performance of this video following your Friday surprise video "Stratocaster layout, my unusual way" from yesterday, there are so many crayon questions I have as an acoustic player (sorry): specifically, power issues. Do you power your rig with batteries - what about various voltage demands the various effects could have - 9v, 12v, etc.? What about the various voltage supplies & plug adapters if you're playing internationally & using a wall socket, 110v versus 220v, etc.? convertitore di corrente alternate / continua requirements, but not always. It all makes my head swim! There's so much techno-stuff you have to line up before you can even hit the 1st note, . . . tuning up. I imagine the man behind the curtain in "The Wizard of Oz," with 6 arms & his hair on fire. The BEST fuzz / distortion I ever heard was from a little brown tweed '50s - '60s "Fender Champ" (like Clapton used) run through a larger '60s Fender amp. It was like 600 grit sandpaper, very fine, instead of a much dirtier 60 grit sound. I'm a nut for the "Leslie" sound, . . . + chorus - heavenly! P.S.: Did you catch that double stop lead demo from "And Your Bird Can Sing" I e-mailed you? That's it for now, see you soon I'm sure. Ciao, "Break a leg," & kind regards!

[@albertolombardimusic]

Underneath the pedalboard I have a transformer capable of different tensions, it's called Mondo by voodoo labs. It provides different isolated tensions and it's really quiet. I love the vibe effect too, I should buy one..

[@cgonzt5636]

Thanks awesome play. I guess will benefit you a lot if you got many modulation type in a song. So for my genre I don’t have, still thinking if worth getting one, or just develop to tap dance 3 pedals in 2 seconds. lol 😆

[@albertolombardimusic]

Everytime you need to push more than 2 pedals... it's a blessing

[@MrZipdang]

Awesome playing and tones!

[@albertolombardimusic]

Thnaks!

[@tamdsms]

Ciao Alberto! WOW, you threatened to do this M. 6/14/21 & here it is already, 18min & 45sec. of action packed information & fun, . . . WAY COOL!!! I'm a complete illiterate when it comes to guitar, etc., electronics. I've got a portable "Roland 'Micro Cube' GX mini-amp" for my PRS, which is illiterate idiot proof & all I need. THANK YOU so much for sharing & enlightening the masses, like me!!!! I've always wondered about all this stuff! See you Monday! Kind regards :-D , :-) , :-) , :-) .

[@albertolombardimusic]

Hey Mark, yes I thought it was an easy video for a busy week, but it turned out to be very complex! ah what do I know. Ciao!

[@tamdsms]

@@albertolombardimusic In that area, more than me (Ha-Ha-Ha!)!!! :-D , :-) , :-) , :-) .

[@tamdsms]

@@albertolombardimusic P.S.: Your also an absolutely artistic wizard when it comes to cinematography / videography, content, & audio-visual editing! Remember your video "Home (duh!)," among others?

She had her own dress maker's mannequin, sized to her figure. Ciao! :-) .

Great video Alberto, thank you !

[@albertolombardimusic]

Hey man thanks 🙏

[@andreusagi]

Alberto, let me ask you a (maybe obvious) question. In the part of your video 2:40 to 2:49, your sound is very clear, bright and dynamic on 6th and 5th strings. It's a powerful sound and not a poor tone, like a jazz guitar, if you know what I mean. English is not my first language and I'm not able to explain exactly what's the detail I refer to. So, if you got it, I'd like to know what is the essence of it. The starting point. My stratocaster has a darker sound and I guess it's not about pedals, but strings type, pickups and amp combined. So, congratulations again. Your videos are awesome. Thanks!

[@albertolombardimusic]

Thank you! The more midrangy sound of the lower strings, and all strings for that matter is the overdrive pedal that boosts some mid frequencies. I prefer it to flat response of a strat pickup because it cuts more through the mix. Cheers

[@andreabordoni7371]

Ciao Alberto, è possibile con il footswitcher attivare/disattivare dei pedali ed allo stesso tempo cambiare il channel dell’amplificatore?

[@albertolombardimusic]

Certo!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

I just received mine and have a question. How do I send output of my pedalboard that is connected to input of my amp to the pedal? Sorry to ask a dumb question but the inputs only allow one cable from each amp. I want to send pedalboard-> amp-> Morley switch pedal input A and then on amp 2 send output of pedalboard 2-> amp2 -> morley pedal input 2.

[@albertolombardimusic]

Is the morley a volume pedal? If so you can use the send out of both amps (or preamp out) then go back into return of the amp (power amp in). Assuming the amps have that

[@alessandrotesser6841]

Alberto what about the amp and the cabinet? What are you using?

[@albertolombardimusic]

Most likely a twin

[@llewelynwewege755]

That was so interesting thank you👍

[@sparnz8811]

Hi. What guitar amplifier are you using please? Thanks

[@albertolombardimusic]

It was a Twin amp

[@RobertoColombo]

Very informative! Thanks!

[@albertolombardimusic]

Cheers 💛

[@mitiasmirnovmusic]

Hi there! With regards to your switcher in this video, I take it you have to remember exactly which switch does what (in terms of selecting a group of pedals) providing that the lights on the pedals are always on? I know some switchers will have a display with the name of the setting you created, but with ones without the screen, do you just need to memorise the combination for each button? Thanks

[@albertolombardimusic]

Yes, correct. But with the colored buttons applied on top is easy.

[@mitiasmirnovmusic]

@@albertolombardimusic I thought that's what those were for haha! Cheers for the reply 👍 👌

[@WCWMidnight]

I love that shirt you are wearing! Where can I buy one?

[@albertolombardimusic]

It's a great EMI branded shirt, but I have no clue were it came from, it was a present..

[@joseavecillas6348]

This is a great video. Made me reconsider my whole set up

[@albertolombardimusic]

Cheers Jose

[@andrewclark953]

How long did it take you to figure out your sound 🇨🇦

[@albertolombardimusic]

Hey Andrew, it's been pretty steady after I switched from rack gear to pedals and amps in the early 2000s.. but constantly evolving in my brain, listening to the nuances I like in other players and tweaking the gear accordingly.

[@andreusagi]

BTW, what's your pickups on this guitar?

[@albertolombardimusic]

The standard pickups that come with a custom shop 60 relic, they're called vintage 60's or something like that but not sold without the guitar. plus Duncan Jeff beck

[@andreusagi]

@@albertolombardimusic great! It sounds really great. Maybe I’ll try later the Custom Shop 69 in neck position to obtain a tone like that. See you on the next video! :D

[@yurifella8049]

Grazie Alberto! video TOP. sono nuovo da queste parti, ma recupero.... ho diversi pedali nel send return (uso le distorsioni dell'ampli)... sono alla ricerca dello switcher adatto alla mia situazione... se la catena è una sola come nel tuo caso tutto mi torna... ho meno certezze dell'uso dei looper nel caso di due catene.. puoi, potete consigliarmi? Grazie. Una situazione tipo può essere questa accordatore/wah/octaver/wammy/overdrive....... in ampli..... tremolo/chorus/delay/reververo/clean boost/boost nel send return come la gestisco con un looper switch? grazie

[@albertolombardimusic]

Non l'ho mai fatto, ma io farei così: sacrifichi il loop successivo alla prima catena, lo tieni sempre on e dal suo send vai nell'ampli, dal send ampli torni allo switcher nel return del loop sacrificato, continui con la seconda catena, esci dallo switcher e vai nel ret dell'amp

[@yurifella8049]

Grazie del consiglio!

[@EmilioLanzaMusic]

Amazing as usual! 🙌🙌🙌

Grazie Emi ciao!

[@makingmusiconline2309]

Any thoughts on using the G2 switcher to send MIDI patch changes to the Strymon pedals .... or are you happy with just the two presets? Very nice board, and excellent playing .... loved how you deliberately avoided doing the full Pink Floyd link :)

[@albertolombardimusic]

Thanks! I never tried it especially because this version of the G2 still sends one and one only midi PC for each switch. So you have to program the strymons accordingly. They fixed this now, but honestly I’m good with 2 main delay sounds and sometimes I do a bank up/down for specific things ☺️

[@makingmusiconline2309]

@@albertolombardimusic Thanks for the quick reply :) I've got a much simpler switcher but I have an HX Stomp which will be sending MIDI commands out to my Boss RV500, MD500 and DD200 (and a few other bits) .... I believe the HX Stomp can be programmed to take in a single PC message and send out a string of different MIDI messages to control other pedals, and I'll be experimenting with that! Looking forward to hearing a lot more of your wonderful playing.
