THE MAIN GEAR OF MY LIVE SOUND

[@OrkhanJulfa]

Wow! Nice to see Friedman BE-OD, Boss SD-1 and Mooer Radar. I use exactly the same pedals as my main sound.

Hello Euge, I've discovered your channel yesterday (I don't even know your band), I find your videos very good and very interesting. You have my kind of taste in terms of sound, I'm an analog lover and I'm also an ESP Eclipse guy, got them all (..not all, but I got 3 Eclipses and I always want more of them)). I'm really diging into your videos, you give me a lot of ideas in terms of minimalistic analog rigs.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Awesome! Really glad to hear that! You should definitely check out my band (Cyhra) also 👍😉.

Wow, love your stuff. Best KZbin channel I have found, superb player and top guy! Thought often whether it is doable to play without amps as it’s often difficult to travel and use heads and cabs these days but what a great sound. Keep em coming and thanks!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Oh man thanks! Really glad to hear this! 🙏☺️

[@Poltergeist699]

I really enjoy watching your videos, specially this video when you showed your gears when you were going in depth. Even though I was looking at your pedals setup and guitars when we were setting up the stage for the Mariestad show haha Ps. When are you going to show how to play man of eternal rain and blood brothers? I really want to learn how to play it:)

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks Edwin! Glad to hear that you like this! :-) I don't know the exact time when those will be released but, since i've already done all the "How To Play" - videos of "No Halos In Hell", most likely in the near future.

[@OfficialFatLip]

would be nice to see the links to those little amp simulator pedals you showed at 6:50, too bad you have not demo'd the poor man's back up rig (SD1 to Friedman to Mooers 012 US Gold 100 and then the IR Loader RADAR by Mooer) I think thats the signal chain you use unless the iconoclast is in there

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Just write those into Google and bam you have plenty of links 😎.

[@JoakimSeverinsen]

Glad to see you're back! Let me know if you find some magical Iconoclast settings tweaks :3

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Still using the settings I sent to you. Haven't found the need to change anything :-)

[@herrsexr]

have you done that video about the device in the begining?

[@sergejkrynycky728]

Euge would you ever consider making a video on your right hand technique? I find your super precise picking fascinating. Cheers from Sweden!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

I’ve done a few so please check out my GUITAR LESSONS - playlist 😎👌. Cheers!

[@Theofanis1000]

Hey euge, great video man, about the iconoclast i use a differend brand amp/cab simulator, that provide me like yours 2 outputs, in 2:58 that you say from stereo L+R of iconoclast you go into a DI box... which DI box you use ?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! It’s a Radial JDI Stereo DI. Here’s more info about my live rigs if you’re interested: - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYWyg3Wtn7d6lZo - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6mudZ5_dpZ6hrc - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGGkZ6ZvgpKZhrM

[@Theofanis1000]

@@EugeValovirta230V your using passive DI because you have the emg’s which are active pickups..? Because mine is passive pickups..

[@EugeValovirta230V]

It has nothing to do with that since the signal goes from the Iconoclast to DI and from there to the mixing desk.

[@Theofanis1000]

@@EugeValovirta230V wow that’s true… so my mistake, for the live situation euge you prefer passive DI ?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

😁👌. It doesn’t matter to me. Basically I just needed a cable extension for really big stages and the shop I went in happened to have that so that’s what I bought 😎. And it’s actually a bit more handy in live situations since it doesn’t need a 48V phantom power to operate like an active DI box does 👌.

[@ramirosaenz1145]

also like that vintage white phoenix 1000 ltd but dint know if i go for the duncan custom or the fishmans fluence on the red color phoenix...please comment about the sound of the duncan custom thanks i must listen to Cyhra

[@EugeValovirta230V]

I really like the Duncan Custom and would recommend. For some reason I find that Fishmans are missing a ”character” or something. But on the other hand I don’t have that much of experience with them.

[@moribnd]

Euge, because you play ESP guitars and I think you're probably my favorite player on youtube doing videos, I have to ask whether any other brand of guitar has felt almost as good as ESP because of the "thin U" neck shape? I am still buying ESP in the future, but other brands have guitars that look better than ESP --much better, in fact, especially in the super strat category as opposed to the Les Paul/Eclipse shape. None of them have the ESP neck though, so I stay with ESP for the feel or ergonomics. The 2 new H-series guitars for 2020 are the next guitars I am considering (H-1001 and H-1001FR). Cheers Euge.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Hey and thanks for your compliments! I have a lot of Tokai guitars (Les Paul, Strat & Tele shape) too and I think they're awesome. ESPs & Tokais are basically the only guitars I've ever used so I can't say much about other brands. My ESP's are made at the Japan Custom Shop and they actually have a thick U neck and thicker bodies than the factory made ones so they're more "old school" in that sense. I haven't tried the new H-series but I'm sure they're great too! Cheers!

[@jroz8111]

Can i ask why? Is it cost factor or traveling? Lots of one off fly gigs? Amp Cab, Mic lol I don't get it. I tried DI live like this i could never get what i liked.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

I have always my sound and it’s always the same no matter the situation (one off, fly gig, small venue, large venue, costs etc.). And our sound guy loves it since it’s always the same and no sound directly from the stage to the audience but only PA so he can mix the best sound for the audience. And I don’t have to rely on rental equipment ever since I can take my whole rig anywhere 👌😎.

Hi Euge. Greetings from the UK! Do you have the gain trim pot set at the default 12 o'clock position inside the be-od or have you changed it? I have a mini jcm 800, be-od and sd-1 in my rig, so I was curious about what setting you use. Cheers!

How do you avoid loose strings with such low tunings, especially with short scale guitar like LP? Thanks!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Heavy strings 💪👍. DR DDTs.

[@dbo4506]

Every tuning has an ideal ideal string gauge which is relative to the scale length of the guitar. You won’t have loose strings if you have the correct gauge strings.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Indeed 👌.

This rig is very interesting to me, the friedman pedal is basically just an overdrive or is it a real preamp pedal? I tried your approach, by just using the sd1 into a cabsim, it works, but is missing body. Does the friedman solve that? Thx
