RIG RUNDOWN : December Avenue - Jem Manuel

Binisita tayo ni Jem Manuel noong April 2023 para i-explain sa atin ang tunog ng mga kantang nag-paiyak sa atin mula sa jeep hanggang sa kama.
Pag-uusapan natin ang choice of guitars niya as well as ang kanyang napakalaking pedalboard.
We also asked him to play some of December Avenue's most played songs on Spotify. Have fun!

Wooohoo!! 🔥

[@PAXmusicgearlifestyle]

Pa-kamusta po kay Jem and sa inyong band, mahal na mahal namin kayo!

[@krisskross6135]

Nakakainis ang galing. Penge naman ako kahit kahit konti 😆 hh😅

[@juweee_yt]

Argh, can't wait to see and watch you live here in Melbourne! 😭

[@buguybuguy]

Lupit Jem. Ganda ng choices!

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

Wondering why December Avenue are top-notch musicians? December Avenue consists of music graduates from the UST Conservatory of Music, namely, Zel Bautista on vocals and guitar, Jem Manuel on lead guitar, Don Gregorio on bass and Jet Danao on drums. They are like the great band Chicago whose members are mostly music degree holders. December Avenue is always worth listening. P.S. Their music has Worship Song vibes.

[@user-tq4kh7dn4m]

Same bro matagal ko na rin napansin yung pagka worship vibe ng dec avenue dahil sa playing style ni jem

[@yaelnozuy9770]

Church player at c jem dati. Na mention nya sa previous video..

[@Kei1youtube]

they didn’t finish their undergraduates tho. Nag dropout sila

[@tamiyasubic2257]

For the guitars kasing lawak ng U2

[@enjerukei.6769]

Jem Manuel cheap pedalboard setup. Ito lang yung naiisip kong magandang budget range ng pedalboard ni sir Jem Manuel. 5 digits yung price ng kada pedals nya sa rig nya, kaya naman mahirap makuha ito. Pero atleast merong alternative, dito highlighted ang Joyo at Caline dahil sila ang pinaka nakikita kong may magandang sound quality. Chain remains the same, minus the RJM Mastermind PBC/6x pedal switcher. Tuner: Joyo JF-19 Buffer Tuner Volume Pedal: Caline CP-31P Amp Sim: • Joyo JF-13 American - emulates Fender Amps. With a specific knob setting, it can emulate Blackface Fender amps ('65 Deluxe/Twin). It mirrors the Universal Audio Dream '65, which is the Deluxe Reverb modeller of Jem. • Joyo JF-14 AC Tone - emulates a Vox Amplifiers. With a specific knob setting, it can emulate the Vox AC-30 amplifier. It mirrors the Universal Audio Ruby, Jem's amp modeller for Vox AC-30. The Amp Sims are connected to JF-24 Orthros Selector in A/B mode, A for the Deluxe Reverb and B for AC-30. It is a bit difficult at first, but it still does the job. It's behavior will be similar to the RJM Mastermind PBC/6x switcher, the only difference is it requires only 1 footswitch while Mastermind requires 2 as shown in the video. Drives: • Joyo JF-36 Sweet Baby - A Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive clone, mentioned by Jem as one of his overdrives. • Joyo JF-01 Vintage Overdrive - A TS9/TS808 Clone, which is the inspiration for the Origin Effects Halcyon Green Overdrive, another overdrive mentioned by Jem and also the current pedal in the video. • DemonFx Freedman BE-ODX - A ₱3,400 pedal cloned from Friedman BE-OD Deluxe. DemonFx is known to produce clone pedals that sound the same as the original, most notable the Vemuram Jan Ray. If you want a 1:1 drive from Jem's pedalboard, this is a good choice. Octave: • Joyo R-13 XVI Octave - A pedal featured by Jem in his channel. Obviously, hindi sya budget kasi ang presyo nya ay ₱3,700. But this is a great pedal, as Electro-Harmonix POG 2 costs ₱22,600. It has good sounding quality, and Jem described the pedal as "an effect that has a unique character". Modulation: • Joyo R-09 Vision - As all R-Series of Joyo Pedals, this is not super cheap, costing about ₱3,700. As Jem owns a Strymon Mobius, and is also shown in the video, I thought of adding this pedal. Though, I don't know how Jem uses a modulation pedal as he stated that he doesn't use his Mobius because of the Meris LVX. Delay: • Joyo R-07 Aquarius - Price is about ₱3,700. The effects are similar to Strymon Timeline, Boss DD-500, which is seen on Jem's video about his setting on Huling Sandali, and maybe the Meris LVX? Though, most likely you'll receive a unit which mutes your guitar for a millisecond when turning the pedal on, based on my experience. • Joyo D-Seed II - Price is close to Aquarius (₱3,500). The effects are also the same as the mentioned delay pedals. Another great choice. Reverb: • Joyo R-14 Atmosphere - A pedal also featured by Jem in his channel, it's effects are similar to Strymon Big Sky, which makes this a good choice. Bakit wala yung Pedal Switchers? - Masyadong mahal ang Pedal Switchers. Pwede ka bumili ng Joyo JF-24 Orthros Selector, pero tatlong piraso ang kailangan mo, at masyado malaki ang sakop nya sa board (kasing laki sya ng Joyo American). If may pedal suggestions kayo, reply lang! I also checked Mooer, magandang brand din yun, but currently mas gusto ko yung Joyo at Caline kasi yung enclosure nila is malaki compared sa Mooer na mini. Ayun lang, salamat!

[@jameslegarte1557]

❤❤

[@jaroncanceran3464]

Pwede rin flamma reverb instead of joyo atmosphere

[@brentcyrilangelo8695]

Might wanna try the mvave mini universe (a pedal clone of the strymon big sky) to replicate the bloom and cloud reverb effect

[@PhilippNuqui]

T-T naiyak ako sa sobrang generous ng content na ito. We are living in the golden age of rock and roll content in the Philippines!!!! Salamat mga Kap!!!!

[@kevin54524]

Oa

Luh golden age daw. Alam alaman

[@supermajinboy]

Nahiya naman ang age ng Wolfgang, Eraserheads, Slapshock, Razorback, Chicosci at Teeth sa golden age mo.

[@jackguitarfreak3]

Golden age ng rock n roll really?😀😀

[@acesandal3594]

Paano naging rock n roll sila?

[@holigram07]

Something unique talaga sa theme ng pagigitara ni Jem. yung tono masyado calm plus emotional sa bandang huli. plus yung combination ng mga notes and chords as beginner hirap unawain e.

[@adrielsacapano3035]

yes unique tlga sya tumugtog.

[@francisdedumo3323]

Ganda ng Eisode na to Boss PAX. Request naman kami, a RIG RUNDOWN kay JOMAL LINAO fr. KMKZ

[@d3adString]

Sobra expressive ng note choices at playing style ni Jem. Galing!

[@Stalia112]

Para sakin si kuya Jem ang modern guitar hero dine sa pinas yung pag timpla niya ng mga tones na ginagamit niya sobrang sarap sa tenga.

[@jasonpatrickdeleon4701]

My halong prang hillsong tone nya like nigel gitarista nang hillsong

[@michaelangelosison2618]

Isa si jem talaga sa mga masasabi mong magaling at creative na gitarista sa pinas sa generation nA to along with blaster.. May pagka tom delonge na angels and airwaves era ang sound nya ❤❤

[@orangejuzs]

Jem Manuel was one of the reasons why i chose PRS and grabe, not really a technical guy pero sobrang solid magpatunog! definitely one of the best guitar player dito sa'tin! eto ang favorite ep ko so far, solid talaga Kuya Pax!

[@fredpaulaguilar7261]

agree, di gano ka technical pero bumabakat bawat nota

[@jpotter]

Nagtatago lang yung technical powers nyan ni idol jem. Mala nuno bettencourt yan pag pinakawalan.

[@kithquemado1666]

Yung tone and vibe ng style ni Jem parang Hillsong UNITED-ish inspired eh. Sobrang atmospheric and heavenly!

[@jcchanel1781]
