My acoustic guitar LIVE GEAR

I show how I use macbook pro, Mainstage and midi pedalboard to get my stage sound. This is a system I have developed roughly year or so and would love to hear your insight about this setup!

Macbook Pro 15", 16 gigs RAM, 500 SSD, 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7

Enjoyed your playing. Great, non-piezo & full-sounding acoustic-tone. Beautiful guitars in your collection. oNe LovE from NYC

Cheers Michael! 🙏

Nice sounds and playing! Thanks for sharing!

One second in and I’m like.... I NEED THAT CASE!!😅

[@11kerol]

Great video bro I love you work😊

[@tnt_vinyl_music]

Wow

[@benjaminrodriguez2918]

Great video... thanks for the demo. And great playing, too! I’ve heard of a couple of midi foot controllers, though I’ve never tried any. Keith Mcmillen has a couple... one called "Soft Step" and another called "12 step". They both look very small (thin) and portable. Also Behringer has the FCB1010, which looks much larger than yours... it’d be cool to see you try those out!

Just give a shout out to these companies to send me the gear and I’ll be happy to demo them out ;D these are all fine pedals I’m shure but the thing is, they’re only midi controllers. They lack built in audio interface so that would be one extra hardware for me to apply to the system. Part of the reason I use i rig stomp is that I don’t need that many midi triggers so I’m happy with couple buttons and expression pedal!

Definitely spare cables!

Hey big thanks for the great demo, your video is a great teaser and useful as well! :) You are a very talented musician, I like the way you play the guitar! :) I am considering getting this pedal, it looks really handy as it subs the external soundcard and volume pedal as well. I have just one doubt, I usually use 2 guitars on my gigs, need to figure that out. The other thing is the computer. I have a 2012 laptop. DO you have any info about how much power does all those effects eat? I am not abs sure my older mac can support a similar sound like yours with the synth combines to the guitar sound. Thanks, and keep it up!

[@j-ppiirainen8550]

Heyhey! Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated 🙂 you could get one signal splitter before iStomp to have two guitar lines and then just pick the one that goes into the machine. If you use your mac to rec/mix music already you can check out the cpu load that it makes if you kind simulate your live sound in garageband or logic pro. But all in all my load is very low in this video and I think you could be able yo start with 2012 mac and see how it goes! 👌

@@j-ppiirainen8550 Thanks a lot! Just one more question: the output signal to a PA system is provided by the pedal as well, is that right? Such a compact device, really cool! :)

[@j-ppiirainen8550]

@@valentinoguitar yup! It has balanced left&right output and headphone out. I use stereo DI box after the iStomp output just in case

[@valentinoguitar]

@@j-ppiirainen8550 sadly I learned that main stage will not work with MAc OS High Sierra-the one I have. So another question if this pedal can command logic effects. Amplitube would be something to do live gigs with, but that is for Ipad or phone-which I don't have... Haha, such a trap! Any hint on this??

[@quintas66]

Is it ok if I actually like the piezo sound? I know I'm supposed to hate it, but I don't. I know it's quacky and nasally, but I still dig it. Maybe it's nostalgia from hearing it so much during the MTV unplugged craze from the early 90s. Anyway, nice setup and video!

[@j-ppiirainen8550]

No, there’s nothing wrong diggin’ good old piezo! If you know couple tricks you can tweak it to sound quite nice actually. And L.R Baggs Anthem has really good piezo sound IMO.

[@fernandoosimbolon]

rig rundown please 🙏🙏🙏

[@stephankofoed8880]

which speaker are you using

[@thinkboy1833]

What sounds it can play(mitä ääni sä voit soittaa sil koneella joka oli lattialla)

[@j-ppiirainen8550]

The pedal board, in this case, doesn't have any sounds/effects. It only gives commands to my computer, where I have all the FX. No loops or backing tracks! Peedaalilauta lattialla ei tässä tapauksessa tuota mitään soundia/efektiä. Lauta ainoastaan ohjaa tietokonetta, jossa kaikki efektit on.

[@thinkboy1833]

Thanks👍🏼

[@ABANOB_MUSICIAN]

How you play strings sound using your guitar??

[@j-ppiirainen8550]

I play through several FX and have programmed pedal to work as volume control. Check my dope mainstage patch video that explains similar process!
