Pedals And Effects: Nathan Latona of Tera Melos (Part 1)

Pedals And Effects is proud to welcome Nathan Latona of Tera Melos to 5Starr Sound Labs! As some of you may know (and for those who don't), outside of working on Pedals And Effects, Nick plays guitar in the dope band Tera Melos where Nathan takes up bass duties. There's a lot going with their music, and we got to talking to Nathan about the history of the band, how he approaches bass, and how he uses effects in the eye of the hurricane that is Tera Melos.
This video was shot by Juan Alderete, and Nick Reinhart, and edited by Scott Ward for Vato Negro Productions.

"We used to play in punk bands" "- Don't you get phasing issues? - I don't know" It adds up

[@dylanmaxwell1108]

3 years since nicks pedal runthrough?? i think we need an updated version!

[@janhundling4647]

[@mylesdillon5084]

Great to hear opinions from working class musicians!

[@eMaLiO36]

18 minutes to just listen to two pedals, and I'm not even mad! I just love pedalsandeffects

[@no.mans.guy.]

“I don’t have perfect pitch” “Steve Vai does” Always come back to this video for this😂😂

[@joerogers5704]

Every musician alive should listen to "Drugs to the Dear Youth" and that's a fact.

[@jacobrogers3485]

Joe Rogers liked bc out last name is the same. Also fucking true. 40 rods can take you places you've never been.

[@Kaimac-vz5gs]

the best EP's i've ever heard.

[@krakkked]

Untitled is also another very unique experience that's a bit underrated in my opinion

[@tomrichardson5519]

"I reluctantly had fun"

[@IMONFIREPLEASEPUTMEOUT]

Nathan seems super chill. I've watched the concert at The Media Club so many times here on youtube, so it's cool to see an actual rundown of his pedalboard. Can't wait for part 2

[@Natural_Order]

When I was 18 I went to a show of theirs once and wanted a vinyl. I didn’t have much money but I remember getting a t shirt and he gave me the vinyl for free which was super rad.

[@jeremychamplin1078]

I can watch these pedal nerds all day long.

[@regortex3364]

The Rusty Box is based on the Traynor TS-50B amp, I think the power supply is 24v because it’s more of a pre amp (more headroom) than a pedal. I could be wrong but l believe that’s the case.

[@ma_cosa_ne_so9176]

Yes. It's very hot and can screw up a power amp with vol at max. It's a true preamp.

[@MisterJawaman]

Thank you PedalsAndEffects! Been waiting for this one for a very long time! :D

[@grahamreal6021]

new Tera melos someday maybe hopefully

[@sussleremons8599]

I enjoyed your music before I found your channel "A Spoonfull of Slurry" is one of my favorites songs ever

[@ryanhoffman5654]

The linear notes for Rodan's Rusty album says something about that being Bob Westons nickname so thats a very apt name for the pedal.

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

They don't go on tour. They go on "tew-or." 🤪

[@lockeempty4333]

"And then you start collecting shit" *flash back of selling the car to pay credit card debts* "Right"

[@noblestrings]

Finally.

[@sloobydoobyboo]

MOOOOREEEE

[@billyshakespeare488]

these people are still so punk

[@veerchasm1]

Tera Melos is awesome

[@willjazz1]

1:08 Yes Nick.

[@burninglcd]

Isolated power supplies are beautiful

[@tomcobb1500]

Anybody know what bass rig he likes to use?

[@rays5163]

Finally a ray a updates

[@boe466]

"bla bla bla. And then you end up just collecting shit." - Pretty much the story of all of us?^^

[@Chandler17447]

their first album is definitely a record

[@brandonvu5429]

I guess Melody 8 isn't really a song lmao

[@charizardoystersauce]

Wish i had my first pressing of melodies clear with the groove lock, it loops 5 seconds of melody 8 it was madness

[@chrisknight3734]

@@charizardoystersauce That's funny...a long time ago I made an edit of Melody 7 that ends going into Melody 8 and fades out after about 10 seconds

[@charizardoystersauce]

Ah tera melos asmr my favorite

[@sleepingchildhood5640]

there is a green screen?

[@jacobrogers3485]

Not to be that guy, but the rusty would probably be quieter with isolated power.. damn that thing is loud!

[@charizardoystersauce]

Jacob Rogers it has to have an adapter, one of a kind pedal

[@lsptnjpm]

Coolest bass lines ever.

[@blincs]

Juan reppin' Jonwayne's Wonka in the back!

[@saggygnaw]

Calling @jonmakesbeats

[@PorchBass]

How can you invest in so many pedals yet not have a switcher? Tu-2 always inline? So much tone being tossed away.

[@patrickflynn1013]

I have five EQD pedals four of them ran by a snark 100 milliamps and it doesn't seem to work very well but i can't find a voodoo lab power supply that draws 450 milliamps for my Avalanche Run. EQD should collaborate with a company that makes power supplies specifically for their pedals. i almost bought the pigtronix power brick...

[@sammadden5540]

patrick flynn one spot pro is great for that stuff :)

[@minecraftavatarofhunterbiden]

9:55

[@rosereina9428]

Voodoo lab power supply is as essential as a pedal tuner on my board.

[@markferguson3745]

Don't listen to the 1spot powering suggestions; Nick talks about his LONG transition and learning curve until know, and he still is not in the loop.It sounds however out of phase? The pedal dosen't work properly underpowered? "It is what it is"??- how about it weighs what it weighs?Or buy an $30 Radial ABY that will correct phasing issues, providing a much better sound? Don't get me wrong; appreciate his working, punk old school mentality , but it's just silly not to take advantage of cheap and cheerful solutions these days. Listening to Nick's Rundown, now I get what was going on with the sound quality.

[@angelguzman3787]

Teera meeeelos still the best

[@implosionesimplosiones2915]

nick te amo, con locura y pasión.

[@charlescampos9487]

8min. in...

[@shaftsoflight9161]

fucking best t shirt

[@THEXDIMENSIONS]

Satan's Power is unending

[@endezeichengrimm]

18 minutes and this is only part 1? Fuck this.

[@tennesseegarcia4762]

Anyone else picking up D-bag vibes off Nick?..its offputting

[@jacobrogers3485]

Bradley Garcia no. yer the only one

[@tennesseegarcia4762]

Looks like it.

[@tonedaddy420]

Nope.

[@charizardoystersauce]

Lololololololmao
