My mom used to yell susmaryosep at me whenever I get caught doing something stupid.

Hey Sweetwater, I love these videos but please start going over what board and lift system they are using to hold the pedals. So many of these I’ve wanted to know and it’s not gone over. Thanks!

[@terrymiller111]

Note to other businesses--this is how you do advertising that's not annoying in the 21st century. Sweetwater gets advertising, the pedalboard designer/builder Mason gets a shout-out, the guitarist shows his thing, Mitch gets some respect, and the individual pieces of gear get shout-outs.

[@Paul-dw2cl]

Great point

[@VertexEffectsInc]

Tito RJ! Heck yea! This was such a fun rig to build! xoxo ~Rig Dr.

[@hearpalhere]

RJ is a not only a phenomenal player, he seems like someone that would be fun to just hang out with too. Thank you for featuring him on this fun series, I'm really enjoying watching them.

[@mjt5576]

RJ is a killer player! His demos are always excellent.

[@kevinmusso2397]

RJ is very close to the top of the list of my fav YT guitar guys. He is a stellar player and as you can tell from this video and others, very nice guy.

[@shawnadams1693]

I absolutely love this series of pedalboard tours. Thanks, Sweetwater!!

[@TheAxe4Ever]

I have to be honest and say that I didn’t come here to see what he had on his pedal board, but to find out who this guy is. I never heard of him before. I’m glad I did! Real cool guy and great player.

[@GearSounds]

RJ is such a nice guy! I can't wait until I am a big enough gear channel where he will do an interview with me!

[@floridapunkarchivist]

Subscribed. Happy to help!

[@GearSounds]

@@floridapunkarchivist Aw, I saw this notification and it warmed my soul! Thank you man. I hope you enjoy my channel and gear reviews : ).

If this was a shameless plug it worked. Subscribed

[@jasonbates2687]

RJ is the type of guy you could come over with a six pack and jam with

[@JulienMENARD]

These new serie " Wat's on Your Pedalboard?" is really nice - really intersting with amazing Guitar Player !! Mitch is always good in his interaction with the guys. I hope to see lot of them in the future ! Love it !

[@ksgtrpkr]

Great interview with one of my favorite Pro level players! RJ and Sweetwater Rocks!!!

[@Greg-rd8qr]

RJ is a guru of tone! He knows his shit! Killer player as well, great video!

[@nastamasterx]

What a great guy to have as guest in this segment!

[@ThomasHope73]

RJ is such a likeable guy! Great to hear him talk us through this. 👍🍻

[@RCMusic718]

Great point with the compressor pedal. When I want a lead boost I'm not looking for more gain just more sustain. RJ is a killer musician and now I need like 4 more pedals after watching this lol

[@Paul-dw2cl]

RJ’s the man. Nice guy & amazing guitarist.

[@rockabilly12]

Mitch we need more of these demos.

[@cjsilvestremusic]

Love RJ, his guitar youtube channel is very informative and engaging. More powers brother! Thank you for bringing him in Sweetwater!

[@Philtration]

Always good to hear and hear from RJ

[@robbievalentine8239]

+1 for those thorogoods RJ! great run thru of everything. great job SW!

[@paulcowart3174]

Very cool JR 👍😎👌 My signal chain right now but still needing a wah or get my old Dallas Arbiter Wah Face up and running w a Casledyne pot Gotta do it LoL Anyways Guitar - Drybell Vibemachine - Diaz TX Ranger - Xotic Clean boost - Lovepedal EPH3 for echo and been having great results w an old Silverstone 1482 6V6 amp Very warm amp but great w strats and LPs Kind of stripped down but simple and easy Very cool guys

[@EshockT]

Great choices and cool walkthrough. Interesting single uses for the SP Comp and FRV-1.

[@Paul-dw2cl]

I love the sound of the Lovepedal Tchula into the Susmaryosep

[@masque1313]

another great video! Sweetwater is on fire!

[@SerDezBlackfyre]

RJ is the GOAT

[@zplapplap]

Great video! Please continue this series. This is great content.

[@pauljohnson1065]

Great interview! The only pedal I had is the Xotic SP! I like the last 2 pedals, lots o detail!

[@dahmc59]

another great episode!

[@vonmilash823]

Cool board, cool guy, amazing boots! Damm I gotta get me a pair of those things.

[@leftymadrid]

Interesting pedal board, what is surprising is that out of all his guitars he used that one. Not that it is not a good guitar, but heck he has some incredible Guitars...

[@deyanfont]

Great featured artist 👍🏻

[@strat0871]

Two cool guys, pleasure.

[@joewilliams3204]

Nice board RJ! I need to look into those fuzz pedals, they sound awesome.

[@KristianHeartmusic]

the drop tune pedal is such an amazing tool no its not perfect but it comes in handy !

[@andremellao4882]

outstanding pedalboard, looks like mine ! Congratulations

[@ForViewingOnly]

Great video, thanks Sweetwater! I'd have to echo what others are saying about the blurring of the board: The blurred pedal effect isn't very effective when trying to put focus on one of the pedals. You might be better off darkening (turning the brightness down) on the pedals that aren't being talked about.

[@soundknight]

I think it's safe to say but not required thought that we should buy any of these fx on his board - this guy sounds REALLY good.

[@EternityRecordsUSA]

Great video

[@pmunkey1]

Why is the board out of focus in some shots? Great video, I love R.J

[@Xyrium]

Glad to see RJ on here, though man, talk about butchering a surname at the intro. LOL You know we all love ya Mitch!

[@attyjoelm]

Susmaryosep! Idol ko yang si RJ!

[@OLDGUYSK8R]

This board has and does everything need. But I still have a few other boards at home. Said every guitar player since forever 😂.

[@taurushamilton2739]

That part 🤘🏾🤣

[@pdbordelon]

RJ's shoes are the coolest! What are those?

[@telecastersRthebest]

Not gonna lie, the SUSMARYOSEP sounds really good!

[@trinityflow]

Sweet rig!! Is that into a Fender Deluxe?

[@Stereostupid]

RJ is top notch! Class and style and we both love Jimi ..! I hope everyone loves Jimi

[@philosopherkink]

The blur thing will work if u darken the part u are blurring. Otherwise it’s not pleasant

[@cardbored_]

Exactly

[@jasortey]

That’s is an awesome pedalboard. I was just wondering, if I use a fender amp which have an original spring reverb, I can use with foot switch, have sense buy the boss reverb pedal too?

[@pedalscapes]

Awesome! :)

[@bcjaliu]

Who makes that fuzz bender Mark I ??!

[@KR-no1or]

expresso FX in the UK expressofx.com/

[@joejoe6995]

Who makes that Fuzz Bender? Amazing

[@xHelderFCP]

RJ! Making me want to buy an Eastwood since 2016(ish?). Beautiful Dano! What about the boots, what are those?

[@fakeemailbox]

Look like either Red Wing or Maybe Wolverine moc toes

[@vincelicas2422]

I really want that Susmaryosep pedal. it's a Filipino thang ;)

[@dbo4506]

That pedal bird needs a gigrig!!! He should get Dan to set it up. His setups are by far the best in the business.

[@yurakolesnikov9725]

Why Vertex Boost is so huge? It easily can be 3x smaller.

[@soundknight]

What's a signal flow Mitch?

[@setheinsteiner2980]

Signal flow is like the order of pedals.

[@robertozariskeeni1875]

I'm new to pedalboard stuff but definitely interested and trying to get into building and experimenting with my own currently... The thing i noticed about this is how **quiet** it was too! And without any sort Noise Gate or Noise Suppression built in... Can anybody explain why that is? My board is pretty **crazy** noisy at times, partly because i've got a cheaper non-isolated Power brick running it, i think, but I'm amazed at how **little** noise this board has for as much as he has on there!?

[@zelkovabright7723]

Having an isolated power supply and high quality patch cables makes all the difference in the world!

[@BrianSGuitars]

The LPD Eighty 7 is s secret weapon!

[@Irvintage]

What's the name of the jhs?

[@markferguson3745]

There are much better octave/ pitch shifters out than the dubious DigiTech. Beautiful Bender and Drive, though(long live Ronson),- and those Danelectro's ARE the best. When your running a buffer before of after a Ge fuzz(or boost, or drive), you WILL lose part of the characteristic sound.Whether or not that's noticeable in a live situation is questionable, and some seem to prefer the cleaner overall signal .I always try to keep buffers late in the chain, or in a TB loop, to isolate and minimalize negative impact.But HE is the seasoned pro.

[@colebowman2833]

Is there really no pedal switcher on that board? Or did I miss it? Idk how you could keep your tone with that many pedals. Whether they are true bypass or not, idk how that could work. I lose most dynamic range with 6 or 7 pedals on a board without a switcher and they are good pedals. Analogman, wampler etc. I only use a fuzz, kot, mod tube screamer and an analog delay. That is all I need and about all I can put on a board before I don't like what's happening. Also, pedals just eventually get in the way of playing for me. Ymmv.

[@VertexEffectsInc]

A pedal switcher can be mitigated if you have the right, high quality, buffering on a board, good quality cables, and power. Of course, switchers will be the easier path to achieve this since you can isolate every loop from one another. But a switcher can also sound so-so if the cabling is bad or the buffering is poor (which is true of many switcher out there - having bad buffers in them). Also, switcher can be situational, live performance of the same music makes switchers more practical, you can save the set list in presets and banks - however for RJ, he didn't need that as it was a studio board where each tone is called up to order - ala carte. This makes presets not so practical, and with a rig already this large, adding a switcher would have added 30%. If I could change one thing about this rig it would have been to put a buffer on the return of the effects loop and on the output going to the amp, but as it was, we had less than a day to build the rig before NAMM and this is what RJ had available. It still sounded great, but I think could have been slightly more neutral if we could have got, say, a Mesa Boogie Highwire on there.

[@christiantaylor6384]

rad board

[@nastamasterx]

Don't blur the board, that's not pleasant to see. Just copy that too from the other good pedal shows ;)

[@ctsguitar]

Pedro Nastari I Agree. It makes me feel nauseous!

[@nastamasterx]

Chris Shearwood exactly!

[@dougleydorite]

I prefer it to that pedal shows way of doing it

[@nastamasterx]

Dougley Dorite yes! Thats why I said oTher good Pedal Shows (TPS), haha!

[@RuXTaR]

guys.. please change the blurry view to something else.. I'm always trying to adjust the resolution only to realize it's not that..

[@smashallpots1428]

just noticed the old english D on his arm detroit represent

[@stanislavmigra]

The blurring of the pedalboard makes me dizzy. Also it was very hard to find, which pedal are you trying to highlight.

[@roninbarrera6920]

haha I like that SusMarYosep!😇😅

[@wabisabi6802]

Susmaryosep! 👌

[@gibhopkins6919]

Stellar Gentlemen

[@adamcoe]

Nemesis Delay ftw

[@GregoryHillSr]

SUSMARYOSEP!!

[@Twirlyhead]

Board out of focus : the one thing we are trying to see. I know the effect you are trying to get there, focus on one pedal at a time, but it doesn't work well. Otherwise great.

[@josephhunt105]

The Devil God's Made is on my pedal board !! Kukulcan !!! 👹🙏☮️🩲🌲⭐☮️🌲⭐🩲☮️🌲⭐🩲☮️🌲⭐🌐

[@robertclarkguitar]

A boss Gt1. That's my entire board. 😔 What I could do with a strymon set....seriously.

[@TeslaChad]

I recommend everyone checkout the build video on the Vertex KZbin account & RJs personal account. Excellent.

[@VertexEffectsInc]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Starch1b2c3d4a]

Looks like the tone doctor was here...🕵️‍♀️

[@teknomanning]

Nice board, I’m stealing ideas

[@beesong2450]

Susmaryosep RJ! payter!

[@watermelon9959]

Tho ro goods are great boots

[@Ottophil]

Masons so smart because hes a doctor

[@tamonanjester]

Susmaryosep! 😝

[@pinpon_muneco7107]

Nothing I don’t got one Yet

[@genri.a9128]

Pedals..thats what on his board.

[@josesbox9555]

My iPad.

[@mynmyself]

420 miliseconds you say?

[@JohyeahM]

I love these big boards, but every time I see one I think "They need to get in touch with Dan at The Gig Rig."

[@JCGronewold]

I thought my eyes were going bad, turns out it’s just bad editing. Seriously why would you blur the pedalboard like that? Is this your first KZbin video?

[@hoover728]

It's to highlight the pedal they're talking about. Made perfect sense to me.

[@floridapunkarchivist]

3 gain pedals stacked because of their character? Some of these boards r so ridiculous

[@christopherrusch]

when... will there be guitarists on here that i actually know..

[@GregSB1]

RJ is popular in the KZbin guitar community. Since he is a full time KZbinr now, it is sensible that Sweetwater would feature him on their KZbin channel. I'll spare you his long resume; but I hope for your sake that other RJ fans don't shred your comment.

[@SerDezBlackfyre]

If you don’t know RJ you should educate yourself

[@Stereostupid]

My god his signature pedal is amazing I think I need it now
