Radiohead Pedalboards Explored - Tutorial with Joe Edelmann

[@Kittensandpuppies123]

Radiohead's nerdy community is just as cool as the band itself!

[@ofir_likes_beer]

As a member of this community That's sadly incorrect

[@duvan-solis]

@@ofir_likes_beer he said nerdy not fanbase.

[@_-_-_-Prof.BoskoBiathi-_-_-_]

Ur damned right

[@jeffriley8421]

Huh?

[@cruzad2]

Head opening video. No fancy hyper expensive boutique pedals. It's all about the composition, the riff, the tone, the combination of a few simple effects..., well, the basics. 👌🏽💫

[@notmyname4714]

Dude, this is actually really impressive. I've listened to the album O.K. Computer thousands of times in the last 20 years... those tones are imprinted in my mind, and your recreations are absolutely on point.

[@ThisIsTheInternet]

Really cool to hear Ed's parts on their own, I've come out of this with a lot more respect for him

[@JoeEdelmann3]

The Internet Ed is the man!!

[@ericportillo8277]

The intro to airbag is still one of those special moments around high school when you find a new band and that one special riff starts off a soon to be favorite album

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Eric Portillo same here, but it was December of 2010 and I was in college. From there I was hooked!

[@Millennial_Mike]

I remember being obsessed with Jonnys sound on Sunterranean Homesick Alien. You nailed it here.

[@yagzataberk1871]

Dude amazing breakdown! Nice work

[@euanmangan7760]

Now I know how they got that effect at the end of karma police. Always thought it was a synth patch tbh

[@watkinscopicat]

it was an old rackmount digital delay

[@LordLeakyy]

Man, YOU KILLED THIS! Thank you for sharing your extensive research. The Radiohead-nerd community appreciate you 😈

[@wellrose17]

So i grew up as a blues singer/songwriter. I was also addicted to heroin . I used psilocyben therapy to kick the dope & also Radiohead's music. Now I am stuck (in effect,punching up talent wise) trying to create similar sounds. I can honestly say, Radiohead's later music ( a bit more positive ) & Atoms For Peace music to attributing to saving my life. Conversely, I've always loved Amnesiac & their "darker" material. During 1 Fungus session I watched them recording In Rainbows The Basement sessions & The Bends & felt as if I were there. My circle of friends doesn't get my fascination w/ Radiohead's music or even Thom's solo stuff. I believe they are (talent wise) one of the best bands of this time. A long w/ Tool ,Mars Volte & maybe The Decemberists ? All very different yet if one is talking musical mastery or lyrically ie ( Colin Meloy from Decemberists) they're all fantastic . I find myself trying to learn DAWS & looping now . Its fantastic to fall in love with different styles to play. Sending good vibes

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Congrats on making a change in your life! Radiohead and Thom’s music really altered my musical path also.

[@knivespines935]

Ed's part on nude is magical, i always wondered how the fuck did he make that kinda sound with a guitar, thanks man, awesome work right there!

[@AerenJA]

Such a great video. Great playing. Accurate tone recreations. Awesome.

[@ej8736]

Im a lead guitar player and funny enough the repeats Thom does in Bloom is probably one of my favorite things of course the Jonny max patch is another thing too

[@w100bow]

Dude!!! Thank you for explaining what Jonny used for the guitar solo on Go To Sleep. I saw him play that live back in 2003 and it blew my mind!!! Now I know how he does it. Again, thank you 🙌

[@wilmabaird3508]

I could watch a 3 hour version of this. Amazing gear man especially for Bloom

[@aNTRiQ]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3yXd6Coodataas If you want some more pedal insight, here's an interview with Ed from The Pedal Show. :-)

[@karu6111]

three guitarist in a band, with each recognizable sound, amazing...

[@whitmore-project]

imo, subterranean homesick alien starts with mostly reverb. Amazing video!

[@JoeEdelmann3]

You’re right! I only noticed that more recently in the studio version. I think he tends to be a little more liberal with the phaser and delays on certain live renditions though where he can’t change tones as fast!

[@whitmore-project]

@@JoeEdelmann3 It makes sense. You usually tend to go for the live sounds in you covers anyways. Ex: packt like sardines in a crushd tin box Intro and everything in its right place synth.

[@NaanosVEVO]

I’ve never seen such a well researched, high effort and perfectly made pedal video. This was absolutely fantastic

[@JohnWoodcatOld]

Just got my DigiTech Whammy today and I’ve been using this video to help recreate my favorite Radiohead parts. Also used this video as a point of reference in building my own pedalboard so thanks for this one!

[@SubterraneanBruh]

If only Ed's part in videotape made it into the album 😭.

[@lorcanrowley133]

You really nailed that paranoid Android solo

[@faboupalmeraie]

Lorcan Rowley I don’t understand in the solo paranoid , what pedals are you use ?

[@isaacwilliams9919]

faboupalmeraie they’re listed in the top right

[@rookymusic6310]

Wow you NAILED these tones. Brings me back to childhood hearing these parts isolated

[@BrunoOfCanada]

Joe...thank you so much. You made me so happy yet again, I don't know what to do with guitar, I went as far as thinking to quit because it's become so boring to play, but this video has changed everything for me. I am not rich and therefore I don't posses any pedals or an amp with built in effects, like you. I live in a small town and I know few people that play an instrument or that even listen and enjoy music as much as I do, but your work has inspired me to try my best and to polish my ideas, songs and playing. Thanks

[@the_musiccellar]

Airbag sounds exactly like it! We’ll really all your riffs do. The “fall” of the whammy treadle is tricky to time just right on Subterranean

[@ashkanpm]

Just leaving this here cause I'm tryna learn how you play 15 step and I need a marker to keep looping the video till I get it 😂 Fantastic video by the way! 8:33

[@jordannewell5478]

This is so cool to learn about after being fascinated with Radiohead effectology in my teens. Still remember that Christmas morning with my Ebow. Really awesome resource!!

[@pablosalaices4459]

Yooooo I didn’t know that was EOB’s part in nude!! I always thought it was a violin. Crazy pedal tricks that your perfected

[@ieuanphillips4963]

I assumed it was Jonny on viola

[@MCS1993]

Jonny and Ed are truly An Amazing combo. Tom’s Tone in the Album In Rainbows is great!!!

[@Toothpastman]

I am simply blown away after watching this, you honestly may be KZbin’s leading authority on every Radiohead-related topic. Amazing.

[@rodgervanraalte3953]

Man oh man, that Oxford Drive sounds great! Awesome tones and spot on. Great work.

[@samuelcraig4209]

As a huge Radiohead fan I must say Airbag was spot on.

[@Anti_p0p]

Tkog mini glitch is amazing

[@shuvanjanpaulchoudhury9974]

As a massive fan of radiohead, this is priceless for me dude. Thankyou so much for sharing.

[@futureperson3563]

Wow. This is a masterpiece. Thank you so much for all the time and research you put into this. You really nail the guitar parts yourself, too!

[@baileyarango]

Dude, thank you and where has this channel been all my life? Incredible work man.

[@KallipolisCracks06]

Great job, one thing is he uses a crowther hot cake on songs like body snatchers, although that crayon sounds perfect.

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Thanks! This video is due for an update ☺️ Yep, he definitely has used a Hot Cake on stuff which goes great with the AC30, the original In Rainbows live era Bodysnatchers tone was a Bixonic Expandora (RAT variant) but I was kind of going for the studio tone which was recording console preamp distortion, which is what the Crayon is made to simulate.

[@aasic3952]

fuck the bodysnatchers tone is so sick with the filter

[@annie_talanina]

Great video! So, now i want to listen some "In Rainbows" stuff

[@standinsilence]

You forgot to mention Thom Yorkes custom made super short microphone stand.

[@phoebephoebo8548]

This has been my introduction to your work. I’m excited both by your work and also for your future. Outstanding, sir.

[@tableausmojo]

After running in to your videos the last few weeks.. how could I not subscribe after seeing your commitment to the craft...?

[@COLORADODCN]

For a minute there I lost myself.

[@winstonsmith8236]

This fantastic. I've been looking for this video for literal decades. Thanx man.

[@jjjvoxxx3231]

You deff deserve to make it man. Passion in the blood!

[@ello_ello_]

this is like the maximum level of dorky, nerdy coolness heh. cheers /thnx for the knowledge !

[@ForrestGreenYT]

Would be amazing if you made a video on how Jonny uses his Akai headrush. Some of his uses are very interesting!

[@tedstriker1]

This is actually amazing, huge smile on my face, thanks for making this video!

[@thecappy]

Just picked up the new 202 boss space echo and checking around to see what songs use it. Low and behold here I am.

[@finncullen7548]

this is so satisfying to watch oml

[@thesoundpurist]

I've been wondering for so long about bodysnatchers fuzz... thanks a lot man...

[@runi5413]

That Paranoid Android solo was the shit, he nailed it.

[@imadhamadieh9936]

Excellent tutorial and one of the best I’ve seen! A real eye opener into the making of RH sound. And a great demonstration of the pedals! 👏🏻

[@virginiadellinger8076]

the GOAT of whammy, mostly Whammy II goes to trey anastasio

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Wasn’t aware he used it a lot! Haven’t listened to a lot of Phish!

[@laurinmuller6641]

thanks for this amazing video! I knew about the Akai Headrush feature to be able to restart the loop very easily (best case when playing live without the crowd noticing) but turning it off and on again and again in 15 step is just genius. Also, I dig the shirt :) please keep on doing this great work!

[@thiagocosta3953]

omg the ending of karma police is so great

[@joecristino161]

You guys do a great job of covering them

[@MarioSabljakovic]

DAT SOLO FACE! Great job man, your tones are spot on!

[@rjmarlow8229]

Damn I can't believe you were able to get some of those tones. So dope

[@fansnyaivangunawan9363]

Omg finally, after so many years ive been radiohead fans.. great video man, keep it up

[@ericmallory8489]

I just ordered the King of Gear Mini-Glitch pedal. I’m pretty jazzed to mess around with it.

[@JoeEdelmann3]

It’s such a fun pedal!! Lots of cool uses too beyond just Jonny’s signature one!

[@ericmallory8489]

Also meant to say thanks for such a badass video! 😬

19:50 heavenly

[@Mitisz48]

Hi Joe! Love your videos! Does Ed and Jonny use the digitech whammy after or before their distortion pedals in their chain?

[@jean-baptistedavid6686]

That's a really impressive job you've done here !

[@radnaamunkhochir2532]

Wow i would give you noble prize

[@djb6496]

When I play Lucky (live) I just use a wah with distortion during that break @5:47 and it works well.

[@JoeEdelmann3]

DJ B cool! Yeah that’s definitely another way to do it! (And originally how I thought Jonny did it!) Wah and envelope filter are very similar principle effects, and your foot speed becomes the tremolo.

[@BenCDaugherty]

Recently I have been fascinated with Jonny’s Starcaster. Got to play a real one yesterday! I’m curious why he uses it on Subterranean. Ik on Pyramid Song it makes since with the bow because of the curved hollow body but I’m curious why does he use it for subterranean? I love the sounds he gets!

[@kingsecho3351]

This is just incredible. I always wondered what pedal got that bodysnatchers sound. 👍

[@mch1n118]

Love your videos Joe all you guys are super talented. Please do a video on your guitar gear including detailing your pedal rigs I’d love to learn more about signal flow from you!!

[@tomlebeau7921]

I'm happy you do this. Learning a lot!

[@jorgealcota935]

Brillante, realmente aluciné con esos sonidos ....ahora tengo la necesidad de tener todos esos pedales😥 !!

Marshall Blackbox pedals might be coming back tomorrow so it will be a lot cheap and easier to get the shredmaster and guvnor

[@Joshua_Ott]

awesome.

[@u2acrobata]

wow thats amazing!!!! this video has great value .... even though i realize i'm miles away (gear wise, and also technically playing too) of reach those tones ..... i'm amazed ... thank you ... greetings from Portugal!

[@antiangel_x]

that wah intro to bodysnatchers (19:06) was pretty rad mah dude

[@szymon_konik]

What a boost of creativity! 100% nailed it, the tones are so clear. That's a pricy gear collection right there.

[@neoaureus]

Whoa your Airbag tone is 1000% same

[@supersurge2863]

6:22 AIRBAG !!!

[@ronbahia]

Amazing video dude.

[@giordanopagotto7940]

this is AMAZING! Congrats and thanks!

[@Cle44139]

Flashback pedal with Tone Print setting for the DMM... fascinating.. I think I just felt inspired to drop some cash lol

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Josh Dayton it’s pretty great! Still, the original has something special going on too ...

[@WesDanceMusic]

Brilliant video. Great work.

[@thebreakfastmenu]

Thom's guitar on Bloom I always figured it was a digital delay that was maxed out. I used to get a pretty similar effect with an old Boss DD5. Good stuff my dude! Edit: Apparently the DD6 you've got oscillates! The DD5 does not haha.

[@JoeEdelmann3]

The Breakfast Menu haha thanks! Yeah, I was having this discussion with someone recently, and because of the decay, a delay could do (or may have done?) pretty much the same thing. All cool tools and options. The DD6 is not what Ed used on the record for Karma obviously (they used Nigel’s AMS rack delay) but it’s fun to mess with!

[@glennc100]

Try upstrokes and rake the 1-5 strings palm muted on Airbag's main riff

[@JoeEdelmann3]

I've definitely seen him do that, it's true. But I also love slamming down on those notes haha

[@niniocondenado]

u r the fkn king of gear, no one can refute it

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Nano Bonfanti haha thanks, but I do rely a lot on my friend David’s help! And he makes some pretty badass pedals!

[@danielplainview2584]

Fantastic work, really nailed the tones. Noticed you have a Prophet (either the 08 or Rev2), you should try replicating some of their synth pads sometime!

Ik I’ve commented before but I’m back again to ask if you recall what you’re using for the TonePrint on the TCE Flashback. Still thank you for this video, since my last comment I’ve collected almost everything in this video (or something adjacent).

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Sure thing! I don’t recall exactly which it was, sorry, but it was one of their Deluxe Memory Man imitation toneprints. Maybe one of Pete Thorns?

[@JohnWoodcatOld]

@@JoeEdelmann3Thanks for the reply and keep up the amazing work you do on this channel!

[@ryanperrey]

You’re playing is great. Throw those Lace sensor pick ups in that tele and you’re going to absolutely nail a lot of those tones.

hey, I don't know if you'll answer to my comment but it's a serious doubt that toke me after I watched this wonderful video: after I watched that, I had clearer idea about Jonny's pedalboard and i looked for photos of the original pedalboard. in a picture, I saw a EH stereo Poly chorus. is this wrong? thanks for everything!

[@JoeEdelmann3]
