TELE TONES & PEDALBOARD TALK

Here's a video with some examples of some practical tones I go for live...I use these all the time. I hope this helps you see a close up of some of the settings, applications, etc...comment below so we can chat! Thanks. :)

[@tayon_lee]

Yes, of course we are interested in the recording rig!

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

이대은 awesome!

[@marcusrejino6902]

Daniel I met you at a Hot hearts conference in Lubbock Tx in 2001. Your playing has been so inspiring to me, thank you for just being you and authentic!

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

woah! man that was a ways back :) thanks for the encouraging words!

[@jatrockmartin12]

Gosh! I'd been waiting this for a long time!! Thanks Daniel Carson!!

[@christopherauffredou9880]

Still with you...I look forward to these every day!

[@JohnJohnson-jw9ez]

[@rebekah657]

[@orlandorosch]

What a Great Guitar Player, Clear, Simple, HiQuality, Just a Big Example to follow. I have followed you for a long time Daniel, Your sound is very good, especially when it is used to worship our God. Regards.

[@rudals1281]

I appreciate you sharing!

[@colesigley5496]

Love your board! Awesome! 😀

[@jordand05]

Yes! Recording rig please!

[@ethanseay8735]

it would be cool if you could do a video on tips and tricks for fly dates. Walking through packing/checking gear and using backline amps.

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

Great idea! There’s a ton to talk about on that topic haha

[@BoBigReds]

This information is fantastic! I want to see the recording rig too! Thanks!!

[@darrellmorton3183]

Thanks for the great videos Daniel

[@mikeolson10]

Daniel - I love all the tone you get out of a pretty minimal board!! Refreshed to not see a midi controller, since I don’t use one! May reconsider a few things on my board!

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

Mike Olson thanks man! This sort of setup has been good for me so far 👍🏼

[@kshiver18]

I love these videos..keep em coming!

[@Robert-ze4hd]

Yes to the recording rig!

[@CanesRAT]

The second swell with the KOT was glorious.

[@jeffmayfield3090]

Thanks! Love seeing this stuff!!

[@GraeMcCullough]

Thanks for doing this! Would love to see your recording chain.

[@96jpineda]

Im excited about your channel bro! Let’s rock

[@In_stantclassic]

enjoy this session. would yo look to do a session on building a pedal board rig, the how and the why behind it?

[@caseythoren8318]

Frick this sounds so good.

Incredible!

[@jamesmharvey]

Thanks so much for running through your pedalboard. I am still trying delay pedals and currently have a Carbon Copy, Flashback, and Canyon on board. :-) Thought I might need to move to a single delay like the Timeline or Boss DD200 or DD500 but I guess a single delay isn't a rule. BTW, really enjoyed the concert in Woodbridge, VA back in October.

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

James Harvey Hey man thanks for the comment and for coming to our concert! There are definitely no rules when it comes to delay haha! Use as many as you need :) You got some good one it sounds like 👍🏼

[@jamesmharvey]

@@danielcarsonguitar6873 Thanks again Daniel. I do like the sounds from my current delays. I would like to have a digital display of the BPMs but am making it work with an external tap into the Canyon.

[@TexasTunesmith]

Thanks for the video Daniel....big fan of your playing! Few things: At the beginning when the only thing on is the tuner and amp.....is that about as clean as you ever play? How often do you use modulation (chorus, tremolo, etc)? And do you include the pedals on tour or just in the studio? Can you please do a tutorial on 'Your Grace is Enough'?! At least the intro! How you play it, effects, etc....

[@heithguilbert1245]

Good stuff... keep posting!

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

Heith! Thanks bro

[@salemmartinez8738]

Yes, let’s see the recording process!

[@mauipalmandtreecare]

You ever look into pedal switchers?

[@nickhanson3036]

I asked about the recording rig at your home studio and I'm still very interested! :) I would love to see software/plugins and hardware you're using.

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

Thanks for asking! It's a fun world to dive into...99% of the time I don't use any plugins at all haha...seriously, I work really hard to shape all my tones with the amp and pedals...maybe I'll add a verb or an eq to drop some low end...but I really try to leave everything alone because I know that most producers are going to shape and eq how they want to later anyway! hope that helps. Been playing around with Valhalla some...thats an amazing plugin!

[@nickhanson3036]

@@danielcarsonguitar6873 it super helps! Like I said in the other video a good mic pre is the step I'm missing at this point. I love the Valhalla stuff - I use it on my keys rig :)

[@rcleon1431]

@@danielcarsonguitar6873 blessings brother wath model is your matchless amp

[@nathanross4097]

Totally surprised by the Full Drive... wow

[@jhvnchannel]

i saw your video about your new pedalboard. but i cannot find it anymore. those pedals that has walrus pedals in it? i wonder if you can also show it or do you still using it in some other ways? TIA.. God bless

[@emmanuelibus]

Daniel it's Emmanuel from Honolulu. What's your "always on" pedal?

[@brooksharper7445]

Curious as to your preference on strings - gauge, brand, etc. Thanks!

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

Daddario 11’s mostly...lately I’ve enjoyed their 10.5 pack for my Tele! Liked it so much I’m considering 10’s as my next step to see if I like it. The 11’s can feel a little tight on the Tele when tuned standard

[@RobRebhan]

Let's see the recording rig!

[@ORFisHome]

Definitely still with you! Your videos are great. What basic settings do you use for your POG? I added one to my board recently, but it always seems too organ-y to me. What's your up and down blend and dry mix for normal use? Thanks!

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

Thanks for still being with me here! you guys are so kind. ok, I usually keep the dry all the way up. low all the way down. and up octave about 1 oclock or so...just a touch of the octave works for me. or for effect, In the studio, I'll do the high octave all the way up and everything else all the way down...sorta like a Mando guitar sound. Works great!

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Right on! Thanks for sharing. I'm surprised you're not running a compressor on your board. Do you prefer not to run one or do you find that the RC Booster takes care of filling out your tone??

[@bernadethdemetrio4976]

Sir. Daniel i have something to ask something like i was searching for a tone long long time ago... what is that beutiful tone or What pedal or setting did you used in How Can I Keep From Singing From intro and to other part of that song. its sound so beautiful lots of sparkle.. :)

[@tbonelite]

Daniel-what does the FD2 do for you that the tube screamer doesn’t? Also, I have that DMM too, are the noisy footswitches an issue for you?

[@SwanVaude]

Tone for days ❤️

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

Thanks man!

[@jonlohrenz5446]

Didn’t you have the Walrus Audio Julia on your board at one time? Do you still use it sometimes?

[@gtr71]

What's your thoughts on noise suppressors, how do you handle hum and overall noise?

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

Chasing Tone I don’t have any experience with noise suppressors...but XTS built me a pedalboard with amazing quality top to bottom so that helps me a ton also the Truetone CS12 power supply is powering my whole board. That thing is incredible. I almost never have issues with that supply + the XTS board

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

There ARE some nights where we get dirty power at an old theater or something and on those nights I play the humbucker guitars all night which helps keep the noise/buzz down

[@164Vault]

Hey Daniel! are using a junction box for the instrument cables? or they go straight to the amp from the Rv-5?

[@ethanseay8735]

YES 👏🏻

[@Robert-ze4hd]

Super nerdy pedal question. Do you know if your King of Tone has the “high gain” red side or just standard?

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

Yes! it’s the high gain version red side

[@fendercuber]

Cool to see a worship board with no compressor or Big Sky

[@collinscardshow]

Are you just using the mod setting on the RV5?

[@danielcarsonguitar6873]

Yep!

[@Ozzie_Gonzalez]

You’re not running stereo?

[@joelgoodwin4938]

Recording rig please
