My NEW Pedalboard! - Rundown and Sounds

[@ImYourOverlord]

Nice comprehensive and focused array of effects! You struck pure gold having the Rig Doctor work his magic on your board 😁

[@thehound2161]

I really enjoy looking at pedalboards. It gives a real insight into a guitarists mind and style that i admire.

[@aidenneil4509]

I know im randomly asking but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.

[@yehudarex529]

@Aiden Neil instablaster ;)

[@aidenneil4509]

@Yehuda Rex Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@aidenneil4509]

@Yehuda Rex it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account !

[@yehudarex529]

@Aiden Neil no problem :)

[@russellpanter4169]

I see you rocking that TPS t-shirt. Is a visit to their studio in the future?

[@MarkPritchardGuitar]

That DigiTech drop tuner is awesome and a time saver, it sounds really good, i'm quite surprised. Awesome board RJ, you must be over the moon!

[@PooNinja]

Over the Moon confirmation he’s up there 👍🏽

[@StuartBridson]

I love the fact this is just a board of pedals - no midi, no looper or switcher - a nice old school board with all the bases covered.

[@canaanlawrence7351]

I just finished my pedalboard 2 days ago and I’m using the Peterson tuner also! Just ordered it on a whim and have fallen in love with it!

[@davidberman1310]

That board does everything and covers every soundscape you could ever dream of.. great pedal choices!

[@redfaust8189]

I love having you explain how you use your own pedalboard. I'm so use to pedal demos where people talk about effects in isolation. This was refreshing!

[@sprintingforsigns]

Such a musical board. Each sounds awesome on its own and when stacked. Also double 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 for the amount of fuzz and drive on the board.

[@mikewentworth9819]

The video I’ve wanted for so long......thanks RJ.

[@krizzkatriel]

Awesome Pedal baord R.J.! 🎸😎

[@jmic3016]

That mythos OD is beautiful

[@adamloake]

Pedalboard run through in a TPS t-shirt, Dan & Mick will be proud!

[@ishancooper]

Love the option to go in-line or use an effects loop. I just did the same and can’t believe it how great having the choice is .. or audition other pedals too.

[@JasonMcFly]

Always wondered about those Drop pedals. Now I know. If they're good enough for an pro like you, they're good enough for me. Thanks for the killer demo RJ

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

My goodness that Digitech Drop is awesome!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Congrats with your new pedalboard. I always enjoy your awesome-playing & demo's. Leave it to Mason - to Think of every possible scenario. That Lawrence Petross LPD Eighty 7 distortion is calling-my-name !!! oNe LovE from NYC

[@markhammer643]

Back in the day, I had a setup similar to your use of the Vertex boost. In my case, I was using my beloved Univox Uni-Comp compressor (a sadly overlooked masterpiece, but the complete opposite of "transparent") as my clean boost. I had an EHX Hot Foot controller working the volume pot on the compressor. The Hot Foot was an entirely mechanical device in one of those big EHX wah shells. You'd attach the free end of what was essentially a bicycle brake cable to the shaft of a pot, and moving the treadle up and down would rotate the cable and pot.

[@nlmal4]

A pedalboard without hx stomp is like damn girl you look good. 😜😜😜 I love you PB. 🤛🏾👊🏾🤛🏾👊🏾

[@painkilla1972]

Slightly surprised to not see a wah wah pedal on there but such a great pedalboard nonetheless!

[@VaibhavMittalIndia]

Oh boy, I loved the tone at 9 with eighty 7 pedal, delay & compressor. Great demo of pedalboard! Cheers 🤘

[@6Nicolas]

This is an EPIC pedalboard. I love everything about it. Keep it going

[@flatsix666]

Just about the most versatile board I've seen. It sounds brilliant!

[@binface9]

Great collection. That Park fuzz and the Herculean sound ace.

[@binface9]

But what's a brotary looper?

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

YESSSS RJ

[@NickKBMusic]

All great pedals! The LPD sounds ACE! Love all of Lawrence’s pedals!

[@clgmafnas]

Righteous board mang! I wonder if you'll follow a similar path...i too, built a do it all pedalboard only to downsize due to weight. My board weighed in at around 25-30 pounds... which, if you ever have to lug over any significant distance, will be trimmed to a svelte 10-15 lbs. 😊

[@rickc2102]

Thank you for sharing this! Definitely gonna have to pick up one of those twin reverb pedals.

[@tpacemusic]

Cool board, RJ! You should get a Barefoot Button for the Tchula...they make a tall one that would make it easier to hit that second switch with your foot.

[@bak1386]

Damn I love the fuzz selection, the fuzz bender especially.

[@lawrencealvarado3556]

R.J. my brother ! man that's a badass board ( pretty too ! ). Your still bringing the groovy tones as always !!!.Really appreciate the shakedown on your board and the tools your workin with , diggin on the knaggs too !.Peace , LA

[@kaitodesire]

Wow.. Pedal heaven, you need more fuzz pedals :p.. Love your vids

[@jeffs.3533]

Ventris is a superb reverb. Expresso FX is top-notch. The others are excellent too. Nice video.

[@olivierhallard3247]

Digitech Drop!? What a great idea! THX R.J.

[@Authorityoneverything]

Love the spiders from Mars absolutely love bowie ❤

[@bradly373]

Always enjoy your vids

[@aguitarrman5867]

Great pedalboard RJ! Sounds fantastic! But to me, the best best guitar/gear videos are the ones that make me want to pick up my guitar and just play! Your videos have that effect on me! No pun intended... Thanks and best wishes! Adam Tarr

[@fuzznautdoom]

Killer board and Run through RJ. Well thought out out and versatile.

[@jewelsreumund3254]

Just wanted to say thanks for the Review stumbling over the LPD87 was surprise just the sound I was looking for thanks for the link I ordered one and all :)

[@brettpower6508]

That delay sounds amazing!!

[@mantashaft]

Nice. The dirt section is damn cool.

[@jasperchance3382]

Now that you mentioned you're a big fan of Mick Ronson, I feel a lot closer to you! Nice board, excellent, I'd say.

[@jonbarwick5946]

*Susmaryosep!!!!* that’s a nice board!

[@haukurastvaldsson136]

Awesome! Congratulations.

[@electricgypsyblues4761]

Very sweet Board Brother!

[@RobFlaxMusic]

Hell yeah, Park Fuzz Sound! Absolutely love mine. Very cool to hear it paired with that Octaland... If only the Octaland cost less than a million dollars... lol. Looking hard at that 3699 fUZZ to kinda cover the same territory.

[@tjnugent62]

Did Mason give you the mini crowbar that helps you pry the pedals off the board? That's what he uses.

[@billneill7567]

Killer board! Mason is awesome! I’ve gotta get that drop pedal and save me some tuning and carrying an extra guitar!!

[@johno7617]

Newbies should know pedals need to complement their amps/axes. I like how that pedal show talks about that stuff. Great video. Great playing

[@Strat642001]

+1 for the TPS shirt!!

[@RussShirley1]

Great job and explanation!

[@lynnhathaway1247]

Envious of the drop pedal. That looks really handy!

[@saddestchord7622]

Only heard it briefly but I'm surprised at how good it sounded.

[@arnulfoparra9498]

Awesome and versatile pedal board plus the junction 📦 nice...

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

That is one sweet setup. But I went a different route. Guitar into Helix, the Helix into a Thomas Blug Amp1 and then one cable into a 2x12 cab. The Helix is the best effects kit ever conceived. The Amp one is a four channel 100W amp that has an effects loop and an optional foot switch that controls it. But it's the size of a EHX multi effects pedal. It's such a simple setup, yet I have more tonal options that I can ever use, and it all sounds studio quality. It took a while, I was a stomp box believer like you are now.

[@kaicho8888]

Thanks! Great explanation, R.J.

[@CorbCorbin]

Love this setup. Interesting how everyone I’ve seen with the Lovepedal Tchula, put somewhere different in their chain. Josh Smith runs it first as an always on pedal. I’ve played with a few other players who each had different uses. One had it last in his gain pedals, one used it between two fuzzes, and another had it between a TS and a Lovepedal Zen. I’d like to try one, and it’s on my shortlist of pedals to try next.

[@Mr25thfret]

Hey RJ! I found you through Tim Pierce's channel. That was a great jam. Would love to hear more of the two of you riffing!

[@Josbornevonosborne]

Everyone is using the LPD 87. I guess I need to check one out. Second on my list, I still haven't tried a novels ODR1.

[@DavidBreckheimer]

Now you just need to add your signature pedal to that baby.

[@01kid01]

1 for the money…

[@KHfilmin]

Awesome pedalboard, congratulations! ;)

[@tomcoryell]

I like that patch box that allows you to go from front to effects loop and vice versa. Vertex should market that. ( Or share the schematic) Just kidding Vertex! It’s your work, don’t give it away!

[@VertexEffectsInc]

tomcoryell My plan is to publish it and even give you a drilling template so that you can replicate the exact same box on your own.

[@EpicStuffMan1000]

@@VertexEffectsInc that's super cool of you dude, most people don't know that those sorts of routing boxes are super cheap and easy to make. lots of manufacturers sell them as space dust

[@VertexEffectsInc]

AttakaiMusic it’s easy and if you can make a guitar cable you can make a patch bay

[@dbrad66]

Where’s the SMJ???!

[@conan218]

Susmaryosep! Nice board Don Ron-Teal-io

[@001class]

Simple and so great! Good job sound's cool!

[@tricko2286]

Dude, you had to release this ... just after I sold my Boss FRV-1 ☹️. I want it back now... 😭 Oh and BTW, your board is missing an Iridium... 😉

[@dougtube2006]

Duuuude ... That’s really awesome

[@guitmickify]

Wahoo.. Rock 'n Roll, Killer board R.J.

[@JacobIsBell]

DOOD! What kind of socks are those?!?! I think that’s the secret to your tone.

[@dougfa3515]

Sweet pedalboard, RJ... definitely have me looking up some of your pedals on there. You're killing my wallet! But my ears are happy.

[@NoCoverCharge]

Nice now to make room for susmaryjosep

[@marksc1929]

..great dude ...great video...thx 👍

[@BaritoneOneFive]

Nice choices. Very practical.

[@Bova13]

That's soooo sick!

[@JaimeNoro]

I find your lack of vibe before dirt disturbing. Awesome pedalboard anyway, dude!

[@christophersoren1768]

Great sounding board!

[@kodykindhart5644]

Love this

[@L.O.V.D]

Daamn you can reeeeally play! 👌

[@bikramgurung13]

Neat! Your playing's just great man! Respect!

[@VictorEMusique]

"Let me show you my fuzz pedals" said the guitar player :)

[@robertkeenan9706]

Nice board. Just subscribed!

[@JMartinBerry]

Nice 👍🏻 I’m on the Nemisis + Ventris tip too...

[@GuitarJawn]

I sent Mason and Vertex a message a month ago about making me the EXACT same junction box to use with and without amps with effects loops. They said no of course, THANKS MASON!!!

[@scottmoreau3478]

A-Camp * I wouldn’t buy from him anyway

[@VertexEffectsInc]

A-Camp * When I come out with my video with RJ I will show you how to build it, provide a diagram, and a drilling template so that you could re-create this yourself. I don’t have the bandwidth running my pedal company in parallel with doing the videos to accommodate these sorts of things. But happy to give you all of the information so that you can do it.

[@abcdefghijklmnop7873]

A-Camp * did go to someone with a good reputation. David Friedman does turn for one.

[@neastguy]

nice pedalboard indeed.. but am I the only guitar player that just doesnt dig all that fuzz.. I've been playing covers for years and I cant think of one time I would have used a fuzz pedal.. need to get a drop D though... as always.. great vid

[@davidjameschamberlain]

A Proco Rat is about as fuzzy as I ever go anymore

[@timh4369]

I am not of a fuzz guy but you make it work sounds great I liked the Mythos pedal . Nice pedalboard

[@belo1971]

No comp deal R.J ? Thanks a lot. French fan here

[@Ricardorochamusic]

Hi R.J. Great job! Nice selection of pedals all together in a perfectly designed pedalboard. Mason is the man! Just one question: what type of case are you using to transport the pedalboard? Cheers.

[@VertexEffectsInc]

Ricardo Rocha we got a pelican air case

[@robbievalentine8239]

Put the tuner AFTER the drop tuner, so u know what tuning you're in before u start the song.

[@VertexEffectsInc]

You need the input buffer in the Peterson Tuner to be as close to the guitar as possible to control for the pickup loading.

[@mconra]

Vertex Effects shouldn’t the fuzzes be first in the chain? I thought the fuzz needs to see the direct load from the pickups, unobstructed by a pedal in between? Thx rig doctor!

[@VertexEffectsInc]

mconra ideally you want low Z post fuzz, however R.J. is manually switching this stuff and the tuner buffer can be bypassed via Footswitch in the programming without muting the signal and just using then VP to mute. R.J. isn’t typically using fuzz and drop at the same time.

[@fishypaw]

TPS t-shirt but no G2? Isn't that a bit sacrilegious? ;) It is a nice board, with some very nice tones. Congrats. Enjoy!

[@PooNinja]

Fully loaded 🤘🏽 all the way with RJ. The 87 is my fave on that board 👍🏽 No metal zone?? WTF mang!?!😂 maybe try a WASA version 🤙🏽

[@PooNinja]

PS where can I get a rattle can of rontealio green? I got a 58 vet that would look great in that color 🤘🏽

[@RJRonquillo]

it's a secret concoction only the Novo paint people know.

[@PooNinja]

🤫👍🏽

[@IPushHard]

Excellent! ...Now I shall rule the world.

[@ArnellCarmichael]

Very clean pedal board does a lot. I also like the guitar what is the brand

[@RJRonquillo]

Knaggs Kenai DR

[@ArnellCarmichael]

Thanks again

[@billtice5057]

Nice board!

[@andrescolintv]

Very cool 😎

[@tinyb69]

So, I take it that you didn't contact Catalinbread about acquiring a Topanga? Either way, that Boss reverb has all the settings that you need to go surfing. But both of those stacked together, would probably make you the Long-board King.

[@pedalscapes]

Nice board, sounds great :)

[@Jibosau]

Excellent run through R.J. After seeing how many amazing pedals you demo it's also cool to see what you feel is essential and why for your needs/style. Quick question: I see you're using a cioks 10 power supply, but have more than 10 pedals. Are you chaining some of the lower drawing pedals together? Any advice would really be appreciated!

[@Josbornevonosborne]

More lessons please. Maybe some Hendrix-isms.

[@huuss]

we need 2022 version 🎹🎹🎸🎸🤘🤘

[@AlmyrBatista]

Hi, very cool channel friend, great playing and reviews! been watching many videos latelly.. Tell me, did you (or anybody here) ever experienced any kind of "white noise" when engaging your Digitetch Drop and the Octaland?? I started my pedalboard in a similar way like TC mini Politune -> Drop -> Tycobrahe Octavia (reissue), then, vibe, overdrives, etc.. BUT, it's impossible to use them both (Drop -> Octavia) engaged this way. So I had to put the Drop after the Octavia, but not sure if it is the best place to the Drop when playing with the Octavia engaged too.. I've heard the Digitech Drop has many complains from its users when combining the Drop with other pedals.. That's a shame, because very cool and practical pedal.. Cheers!
