Radiohead Pedalboards Explored - Tutorial with Joe Edelmann

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

Ur damned right

[@jeffriley8421]

Huh?

[@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!!

[@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. 👌🏽💫

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@yagzataberk1871]

Dude amazing breakdown! Nice work

[@Bronco541]

Your work here sir is gratefully appreciated. Your a gentleman and a scholar.

[@LordLeakyy]

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

[@wilmabaird3508]

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

[@aNTRiQ]

[@karu6111]

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

[@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

[@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 🙌

[@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!

[@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

[@rookymusic6310]

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

[@AerenJA]

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

[@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!!

[@Toothpastman]

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

[@MCS1993]

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

[@NaanosVEVO]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@markferguson3745]

If you're finding yourself in a rut, it doesn't take, - arguably, you're better off without,- expensive pedals to create interest. Work with different tunings, including the number of strings, or try to work with an inexpensive slide, or a cheap used wah pedal. If you buy used off of Reverb, there are a lot of dated or not widely known pedals in every category for under $ 50.Keep in mind that pre internet, - back when many of the most creatively renowned players came up, - there wasn't much available, and even less information on what actually was.

[@rodgervanraalte3953]

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

[@shuvanjanpaulchoudhury9974]

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

[@baileyarango]

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

[@musiccellarmillerton]

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

[@tedstriker1]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@tableausmojo]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@phoebephoebo8548]

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

[@samuelcraig4209]

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

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! 👏🏻

[@runi5413]

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

[@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

[@fansnyaivangunawan9363]

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

[@MarioSabljakovic]

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

[@winstonsmith6999]

Damn! Great job man. Thank you for putting this together! Play on

[@treesurgeon2441]

I thought they used the Korg Kaoscillator pad on the Go To Sleep solo.

[@JoeEdelmann3]

Nope! That’s the computer program Max MSP. They use the Kaoss pad (the Kaossilator is a synth, the Kaoss is FX) on Everything in Its Right Place. ☺️

[@annie_talanina]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@thesoundpurist]

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

[@joecristino161]

You guys do a great job of covering them

[@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!

[@jean-baptistedavid6686]

[@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!

[@SubterraneanBruh]

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

[@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.

[@danielcarter3928]

hey there! i went down a massive pedal rabbit hole and i ended up spending money on about 20+ pedals and fairly recently decided to sell them all off. i’m back to the basics with my les paul junior, boss sd1 and super fuzz through a fender twin. i’ve been feeling super inspired by Jonny Greenwood lately. what effect would you add if you were me next? an echo type delay, digital delay, flanger, dyna comp, phaser, or a shredmaster?

[@JoeEdelmann3]

@@danielcarter3928 if you’re feeling the modern Jonny aesthetic, a good Boss digital delay will get you those scrongly Smile arpeggiated parts! But also can never go wrong with a tape delay sound. I think the DD-8 has both! As far as flangers, I recently fell in love with the Walrus Polychrome! Great, great analog flanger/chorus/vibrato tones.

[@danielcarter3928]

@@JoeEdelmann3 thank you! DD8 is a good call for sure.

[@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.

[@szymon_konik]

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

[@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

[@germancampuzano5919]

I love this kind of videos

[@radiofaber]

For the tremolo part of Lucky put the DOD after the tremolo ;) you can hear that the autowah of the DOD go with the volume of the tremolo instead of the volume of your picking

[@JoeEdelmann3]

radiofaber the DOD was placed after the tremolo here. ☺️I may just have had a slightly different sensitivity setting, or strummed a bit inconsistently, but the tremoloed signal will still fade a bit and trigger the envelope less over time. I think you can see Jonny re-pick/strum a bit when he does it live because of this.

[@JoeEdelmann3]

radiofaber I did it a little bit better on Burne Holidays OKC cover, I think! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXiXoopqfKZnhNE

[@sepi_]

how did you tap the delay on the space echo for weird fishes ?

[@JoeEdelmann3]

I don’t recall, but it’s not super important - this isn’t one of the ones where he’s trying to get a specific note effect so the delay is just more for ambience! Any shortish/medium length will do!

[@the.arkitek]

3:11 Is that the exact knob setting of Johnny? I mean gain=11 o'clock, full bass, nearly full treble and contour is at the middle?

[@JoeEdelmann3]

No sorry, bad picture! the knobs aren’t how I usually set them there... per the King of Gear, contour is nearly fully CCW (5 o clock) , bass and treble both around 2 o clock, gain at around 3 and volume at least at noon (Jonny pushes his even louder haha).

[@the.arkitek]

@@JoeEdelmann3 Thank you for the reply :) Actually I send a message from instagram to you about Radiohead covers. Cheers!

[@Millennial_Mike]

I had no idea he looped the guitar in 15 step... I seem to remember him using a rc200 live too to create weird shuffle sounds during the live intro of 15 step?

[@JoeEdelmann3]

GATO I believe the weird shuffle sounds are him using a MIDI foot controller to trigger sequences in a Max MSP drum machine that has some funky reverse resampling happening!
