Bumblefoot - Building a Pedalboard

[@larrmad7919]

Ron is a Guitar God. Someday, Everyone will realize. He seems rather Humble & a NON Rockstar Egoic Type also. Even better. Guys got the total innovative, creative package. Thanks 4 being U, & inspiring Us All.

[@pedroleal7118]

Ron is the Man! Give him a Ukelele and he will blow your mind! Stay strong Ron!

[@user-jm5hg3qi4f]

Nice explanation about the compresser.

[@terrymiller111]

@Brett S. That last song you listened to by that musical artist you love so much had compression. And the one before that. And the 10,000 others you listened to before that.

[@ShredST]

@@terrymiller111 Your comment is correct and utterly irrelevant.

[@blakehavard]

Ron is pretty cool. Good sense of humor and a killer guitarist.

[@garthkirkcaldy3808]

The pedalboard sounds fantastic 👏🏽 and Ron is an INSANELY good guitarist. Really enjoyed the video 🤟🏼

[@joebahkokamo]

The best pedalboard setup that I have ever seen. Sounds GREAT! I love Bumblefoot and I have been following his career for decades now! Match made in heaven!

[@sadfsdafasdfas]

I have played and sang live some tunes with Ron for the purpose of some seminars. I will always remember those moments. Very happy to see you again even in youtube, feels a bit like the classes. What an amazing person, teacher and musician. Be well man and take care!!

[@BretCahill]

21:26-22:04 is simply therapeutic

[@SebastienZunino]

Thanks for the video and the great lesson on the compressor ! 🙏

[@JonathanKillstring]

An interesting argument for the compressor. I'll throw compressors on recorded guitar tracks, but I haven't actually used a compressor pre-drive in a while. Might have to.

[@ryansouthard4929]

Jonathan Killstring I’ve been messing with them the last couple weeks, it’s nuts. Try it out

[@JonathanKillstring]

@@ryansouthard4929 Gonna be trying this out real soon, I think! :D

[@JonathanKillstring]

One month later, and i don't ever want a board without a compressor ready to go. I don't use it all the time, but i love the option. Run it into the Dark Matter, roll down the tone knob, and you've got that smooth, creamy Santana thing going. Love it.

[@vubear]

Everything he does is magic

[@KRayxKodessA]

There’s nobody out there like Ron. So wild.

[@lxrobertson]

I saw Ron play in Auckland, New Zealand in 2007 with Guns N Roses and have been a fan ever since. To win this pedal board would be a dream come true. Im keeping my fingers crossed until then.

[@jerod256]

I love Bumble's playful sense of humour. It really comes through in his playing. Sons of Apollo MMXX is awesome!

[@justfine77777]

I play a Strat most of the time. I leave a Boss CS-3 on all of time. It is my only must have pedal. It thickens up a Strat so much. I have an Xotic compressor, but I’m not as in love with it.

[@aquilarossa5191]

I was watching this until the bit where he set the amp dirty and added some tape delay sim, but I began hunting plugins for tape delay and had the video still running. Then he added the reverb and it really caught my ear and had me tabbing back to the video. I really like the sound of the Catalinbread Topanga for spring reverb and their Talisman for plate, but that HOF thing sounds pretty bloody good and does both plus more. My next pedals will be DIY fuzz and treble booster though, so I can get some practice before I attempt to build the amp I have some parts for. Then I want a Belle Epoch Deluxe before deciding on reverb, which reminds me -- he said tape delay is dark. Analog BBB is kind of dark in a nice way, but reel tape delay can be quite bright I think (pun intended). Not as bright as pristine digital repeats can be though. It's the preamp and authentic EP3 circuitry part of the BED that I want most tbh, but damn it's pricey. Fair enough though. There is a lot going on with that thing, where as so many pedals are pretty much plugins in a box these days. Not that that's a bad thing mind you. p.s. I heard this guy was really ill in a life threatening way. Always good to see people bounce back to good health. I know what poor health is like for sure with my messed up spine that just wipes me out on a regular basis. Just feeling okay for a change is the most valuable thing in the world in these situations. Easy to tell if I am ill or feeling better by how much I am playing guitar. If I feel okay I will play until my fingertips are munted, because I know it might be a while before I can play again. All the best to him.

[@jerrydezwart5691]

Loved this demo of all the pedals. Finally realized the potential of my current pb. Thanks Bumblefoot and TC!

[@sgtcaco]

That dark matter keeps your guitars natural tone so well. It’s a plexi in a box, amazing little thing. The OCD is a fraction better .

[@scooter5005]

Excellent chorus points and sound starting around 15:10.

[@harryispep]

I got the chance to meet Ron when he did a masterclass at my music school. funniest man in music.

[@bruceanderson8720]

What a great video! I really enjoyed the way Ron explained and demonstrated the way he uses each pedal. Thank you Ron and TC Electronic.

[@bkul44]

hands down best pedal show ever !!

[@ryansouthard4929]

this is the exact thing I’ve been personally struggling with. Love you guys, just got a Mojomojo 6 months ago, fantastic pedal underrated by far!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kristoferjonsson7214]

Tc Electronic and Bumblefoot is a perfect match! Information, Inspiration and Innovation!! What’s not to like in those eyes... 😉

[@TOKYOISDEAD]

Awesome choices, would love to try all of these pedals. I just recently bought the Grand Magus from you guys it’s so sick, much love !! ✌️

[@pierrotwars8312]

this pedalboard is very interesting, I who uses the NOVA SYSTEM, it offers a lot of possibilities to sculpt his own sound. thank you for this video.

[@diegocarballa6240]

Wow!! Amazing pedalboard, La quiero!!

[@laxtlo]

This was very very interesting. I haven't own never a guitar pedal, but i do have line6 helix and frfr. Bumbelfoot is one the all time best guitarist in this planet. What a inspiration is that dude 🤘🎸

[@grantconnors2496]

Ron has always been a monster. This vid was a lot of fun.

[@AshRavens]

Hey TC, your musical stuff is great as always, but some of the video focusing stuff is not as good as TC could be. Could you please look into it?!

[@olivierjung913]

I love this Bumble dude !

[@liliIiliIilil]

Bumblefoot is such a creative guitarist.

[@cobyconradofficial8890]

Ron Thal, aka Bumblefoot, legendary guitarist of Sons of Apollo, Asia, Art of Anarchy, and ex guitarist of Guns ‘n Roses, is doing an online INTERACTIVE live masterclass with Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp!! I can’t believe I get to meet him live. There are only limited spots available so make sure to get your tickets quick! www.rockcamp.com/masterclass.php

Very cool man!!!!! Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹

[@yagoravell7944]

15:40 Freewill babe! Haha

[@vicferrari89]

What is compression? Compression simply is - makes sounds that are too loud softer, and makes sounds that are too soft louder. This can be good for clean guitar, acoustic and classical guitar, keys, and mastering but for me as a guitarist (when not playing tapping stuff, classical or acoustic ), I want as much dynamics as possible. If your tapping a lot, compression can make a big difference especially clean tapping.

[@estring69]

People lie and say they don’t use compressors 🤘Don’t have to kill the signal with too much distortion. Compressor helps to ride the sweet spot.

[@Sevenstringmachine]

Is bumblefoot on peyote drenched in the blood of a 16th century poet? This guy is awesome! #slamintheshitoutofit

[@larryh.3173]

Silviu Ciocanelli Yup. Noticed that right away. Def a new sound here so I wish he’d mentioned what it was. (Overall, he did a fantastic job explaining everything,) I’m thinking that’s gotta be the pitch shift pedal at work right? Sounds almost like a synthy effect here. Nice!

[@countyroad2083]

Awesome pedal board.

What guitar maker or guitar builder crafted that bitchen double neck ? Is that a Paul Reed Smith custom shop guitar ? Baddass guitar for sure ! I will be following your music ! Awesome TC Electronic signal chain set-up in the Bumbleboard !

Sweet board! Bumblefoot kicks some serious booty! Oh how I would love to get my hands on this board. :D

[@jassguitarvideo]

Can you explain in depth the use of the compressor that Bumblefoot use? Or even a toneprint Im confused because at first says "Quick attack and release" an then later low attack and release

[@donmako]

Quick attack and release setting IS low. If he wanted longer attack and release he would turn the knobs up.

[@sunnysideup5826]
