My Pedalboard (2020) | Friday Fretworks

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

So, what pedals am I missing out on? What’s your favourite recent pedal discovery? 🎛

[@craiger2399]

I've been wanting the EHX Freeze or the Gamechanger Sustainer, but now I want the SuperEgo... Your board sounds great. Maybe all you need now is a super high headroom Dumble...

[@ncj7371]

Why not use the midi from the G2 to control the HX Stomp? There is room to run a flat midi cable from the end of the G2 up to the midi on the HX....

[@jacksolomon451]

Tumnus got upstage by Strymon bluesky for Pedal of 2020 for me.

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

@@ncj7371 That’s a great shout! I haven’t got the first clue about MIDI so I’ll have to look into it but that genuinely hadn’t occurred to me! Mind blown 🤯

[@ncj7371]

@@ChrisBuckGuitar It is really easy - I do it with the HxFx and it makes it so easy, that way you don't have to manually change the Stomp. You do it with the G2. Dan can show you!

[@nathanlittle1460]

Honestly Chris, your playing is second to none. Absolutely sensational.

Agree. Think it would do well in the exact same specs.

[@dubccoverseer]

Funny.. I got mesmerised by the left... Dynamics!

[@dejct]

Okay okay okay WHAT was that lick at 0:35... That whole intro jam was absolutely godlike. You are my biggest inspiration Chris, you're AMAZING. I look forward to your content more than anything! :)

[@MattKellyMusic]

Your tone is easily one of the best sounds I've heard from a guitar player. It's perfectly warm sounding. It can be compared to Mick Taylor and Jeff Becks type of tone. But honestly, yours might be the winner! Its absolutely killer!

[@alexbooth4900]

Please, Yamaha, if you're reading, release that Goldtop Revstar. I'd *LOVE* one!

[@whisperthiefmusic]

Bloody hell Chris, the clips from your rehearsal gave me goosebumps. Incredible playing you absolute demon you

[@AlanJan_UK_49]

Truly fabulous Chris. Love the way you combine your fingers and pick. Also love the glissando / slide DOWN into the note.

[@sebastianvillalon25]

your touch is the most beautiful thing anyone can hear 💥

[@Teleman76]

Such a toneful player. You got the soul to your playing.

[@ninjanel1964]

Such beautiful playing your solos tell a musical story that's always so right !

[@NoBSMusicReviews]

You are the best blues and rock guitarist to show up in the kast 30 years. Vest wishes for you and your new board, and the wondrous music you’ll create together.

[@yannick9678]

Got serious goosebumps by that version of won't back down. Great playing and great tone.

[@hearpalhere]

I love how many different sounds you get by just varying your picking between fingers, thumb and pick! Great playing as always Chris and it was fun hearing about your new board too. Good luck the livestream and hopefully 2021 will be a better year for everyone!

[@elliothewitt9156]

I won’t back down. My motto, my favorite Tom Petty song, wonderfully done by one of my favorite guitarists. My thanks to you, Mr. Buck.

[@altonreid9726]

I have finally figured out what i hear in your playing style. It sounds an awful lot like you are playing slide guitar, with no slide. Your transitions are so smooth. It's a really unique and nice sound.

[@AlOKaneMusic]

Epic. Great board tweaks Chris! Unbelievable playing too :)

[@Watergrovey]

Loved that version of Wont Back Down!

I'm not buying any pedals/effects until I learn to use a guitar, cord, and amplifier. More stuff won't make me a better player but practice will.

You need to check out John Cordy's Hx stomp presets. He made a freeze setup among a million other things in that little box.

[@MPNNag]

That was crazy fantastic!

[@rockstardr]

Cool jam! Nice board!

[@jorgetenamusic]

Man you are such a great player!!

[@potul]

I couldn't resist and bought the HX stomp presets. Nice tone in the "mini-Rig" preset. Te only downside is that the mono delay is ruining the stereo spread of the cabs. Only noticeable using headphones or in a stereo setup, though.

[@himynameischriz]

Where did you get the hx preset? I can’t find it on the website :( would love to have it

[@potul]

@@himynameischriz I see that he's not selling the HX stomp version of the presets anymore. Anyway, in one of the last firmware updates there were some Chris factory presets and they were mostly the same. So you can check these.

[@himynameischriz]

@@potul thank you 🙏

[@chrisdrake447]

Very sweet sounding playing, especially the Tom Petty track. Though I don’t think I’ve ever seen you play an actual barre chord before, as at 7:15 😉

[@marcoblade]

Great as always.. I discovered Thorpy Veteran fuzz.. And i hope to have it under my feet one day! 🤟

[@stevethebeeline44]

Hey Chris, re: wet/dry & wet/wet. To have both options easily available run G2 output 2 & HumDinger Split to an A/B Box (small enclosure in place of Trelicoptor perhaps?!?) running into second amp. Then wet/dry & wet/wet configurations are available right at your feet depending on the situation. Looks like you’ve abandoned wet/dry with this board for now. Could be good for when you’re back on bigger stages again. Actually this won’t work with HX Stomp as it’ll create latency in the wet amp. There is a way around this. Something like routing everything through the Stomp. Umm I’d say ask Dan! All your pedals & G2 loops would have to be placed in HxStomp as an FX Loop anyway. This will sort the latency issue. It might be a while b4 you decide wet/dry needs to be resurrected!

[@lecomtess2878]

If this guy ever plays a stage near me, I’ll be there.

[@eduardocandeiasfaust]

you could replace the mooer for a 1 buttom midi controler for the HX! Extra control on the stomp is always good :)

[@delbertstringbreaker7686]

Just got a Tumnus by Wampler - a lovely tone machine!

The one great thing about chris buck is, his guitar tone sound like his voice...its sounds like when u got a cough and flu...its have that type of tone 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@fragtagninja1633]

I also use the Golden Fleece. Amazing pedal.

[@darrenc8776]

I wont back down! that was quality mate

[@bryanclarke1927]

The mythos Miljnor is the longest serving pedal on my board. Got one almost three years ago and has served me well. The golden fleece i also own and it's awesome but the offshoot version the Landreth High Road is even better. More spitty. I've found the Kreley Caverns a superb pedal as it is reverb and delay in one. The reverb has a mild trem option and the delay can get close to my old carbon copy. The Dane does that KOT thing for me.

[@scottyb3b7]

I am excited I have one pedal overlap (the EP Booster)

[@Matthew-ez4ze]

The Xotic EP Booster in one hell of a great little pedal.

[@murfmurphy6212]

Loved the 'Wont Back down' jam on the SuperEgo - so I'm guessing you're running straight mono now into one amp.

[@Johnny.D]

Sounds great, I hope the stream has more footage then just a close up of your guitar though 😉

[@ChrisBuckGuitar]

Haha. Definitely! The was just some iPhone footage I shot myself. It’ll be pro video and audio for the live stream 🙂

[@markhammer643]

Not that your playing needs it, but if you were looking to give your playing a kick in the pants, consider getting an expression pedal for your HX Stomp. And if you wanted to go a little further, consider a Source Audio Hot Hand 3. This is a wireless "expression pedal" you wear on your picking hand that responds to movement. The base unit that the finger transmitter communicates with can put out a pair of Source Audio-standard control voltages for their pedals, OR a Line 6 standard 0-10k resistance to ground for their expression-pedal inputs. The smoothness and sensitivity of response can be adjusted, allowing you to control parameters on your HX Stomp. I'm not intimately familiar with that unit, but I have an M5 and I can't imagine the expression-pedal control of the Stomp being somehow lesser than what is implemented on the M5. PROS: The base is about the size of a mini-pedal, and the finger sensor/transmitter is comfortable and nonintrusive, so no pedalboard space required as for an expression pedal. CONS: One can't both pick/strum (especially with finger tips as you do) AND wave your picking hand around at the same time, so one is generally confined to introducing effect-parameter changes AFTER you pick/strum and can take your hand away from the instrument. Still, a remarkably powerful controller. I will also note that the feel of a finger-modulated change is different than the feel of what you can do with your foot. FWIW, when I learned that the L6 expression standard was simply a variable resistance to ground, I wired up a photocell and cable to plug into my M5, and affixed the photocell to the surface of my guitar between the bridge and volume pot, so that I could cover and uncover it with my pinky finger. Wild! The downside is that you have to have a source of ambient light so that the photocell can reach low resistances, and that you can block with your finger. Unlike the Hot Hand, though, you *can* use it while you pick.

[@WDSCRNRAD]

Hey Chris! Only just recently come across you channel man! It’s the nuts. Love you Petty cover. I’m trying to learn how you played that! Completely new style for me. If I did succeed in this, would it be cool for me to film it, and post it on my Instagram? I’ll give you credit obvs 🤜🏻

[@GilangRamanda]

can only imagine you play with Derek Trucks, notes at 0:34 - 0:39 are super tasty

[@elijahbatz3286]

It'd be interesting to hear you tackle movie scores on guitar. I feel like "The Ludlows" would really translate well with your playing.

[@voxshall]

Not a bad board, just need a few more overdrives and you should be done, maybe a Duellist for the BB side and a a couple of type klon pedals :)

[@EastBayBlue]

Hey Yamaha, listen up... We want a Chris Buck signature 502 Gold top.

[@analogblues9606]

Great video as always Chris, thanks! Could you please send a link for your Pelley pedal board case? Thanks

[@adamkrauss303]

Would have like to have heard more about how you actually use the board in a live gig setting. For instance, if your not using midi and the Stomp is not in a G3 loop, do you actually stomp on the Stomp to toggle thru presets and would it take at least two pedal presses: one on G3 and one on Stomp in certain situations? Thanks.

[@Cylorne]

Chris Buck makes me proud to be Welsh, god damn.

[@LennyJohnson5]

Me too 👍

[@Aku-kh5qy]

Sappnin butties?

[@darrenc8776]

It doest take much for you welsh to be proud of anything Welsh. Not that thats a problem. Shame about the 6 nations though

[@Linkmohr12]

Being from the States, I have always been entriged by the whole UK area, but especially Wales, and it's people. Not to dis anyone, but from the history I have read, most of the conquerors, to England in time, took over almost everywhere, but Wales. From my research, it seems after so much time, expense, and effort wasted, for such small gains, the conquerors made a, "stay the hell out of there zone" and left Wales alone and in tact. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you gotta appreciate, that kind of gumption! However, if you please, don't damn God! Bravo, non the less, "Wales". And no, I mean no disrespect, to the rest, of the country! It's just history.

[@LennyJohnson5]

@@Linkmohr12 You’re right Duncan, Wales is unique amongst the four countries that make up the UK (the others being Scotland, Northern Ireland and England) in that it has strongly maintained its identity through the survival of its own ancient language, and associated cultural events such as the Eisteddfod, an annual outdoor gathering of artists, bards and druids, that celebrates poetry, literature and music within the language. While the language is not spoken by everyone in Wales - the industrial south in particular speaks English almost exclusively - road signs throughout the nation are bilingual, so a sign for the capital city would read both Cardiff and Caerdydd, and there are Welsh language TV and radio channels. The Welsh are, in general, a working class nation, with hill farmers in north and mid Wales, and - until the very the recent past - miners, dockers and steel workers in the south. We pride ourselves on our strong identity based on hard work, sport (primarily through the national sport of Rugby, where we have consistently punched well above our weight, considering our relatively small population of a little over 3 million), poetry, song, friendliness, a mental and physical toughness that has led to a refusal to be dominated or patronised and a sense of being different and unique, though not better, than those English cousins just over the border. Obviously, given our physical closeness to an open border, most Welsh families have English relatives, and vice-versa, especially with the number of English men who moved to south Wales during the industrial revolution, when jobs in mining, docking and the iron and steel industries were plentiful. That border has led to a proliferation of beautiful and historic castles, built down the centuries and throughout the entire country by various Kings in an attempt to dominate, subjugate and basically keep the Welsh in order, not always successfully 😉. Indeed, the first castle built by William the Conqueror, back in 1067, a year after he defeated the English at Hastings, was at the Welsh border town of Chepstow, in an attempt to control both the Welsh, and the confluence of two very important border rivers, the Severn and the Wye. History has created a strong affiliation between the nations of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland (indeed, Ireland as a whole) in that we share a Celtic strain that runs deep within our DNA, and a mutual distrust of the English government, created by centuries of repeated attempts to dominate us as a people, to misuse our natural resources, and of taking advantage of what has always been considered as cheap and easily abused labour, which led to the working-class uprising of the Chartists. If you want to start any further research into Welshness in general, read ‘Rape of the Fair Country’, a novel by Alexander Cordell, based around the Chartist movement, or any of Dylan Thomas’s poems. I hope that helps. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Cymru am byth.
