This Board Inspires Me

[@LeonTodd]

What pedal(s) get your juices flowing?

[@rutger4131]

Solar Chug pedal is my go to (pre)amp now, perfect for all variations from rock to melodeath.

[@LeonTodd]

That's so cool! @@rutger4131

[@rutger4131]

@@LeonTodd It does a good 5150 impression, which is the amp(sim) that I keep coming back to. I've become so used to that sound.

[@lockdan]

I have a similar set up: Duke of tone into Keeley mini comp into Kingsley squire as an insert to the H90. I also put an MXR CBAMOD and Kingsley Constable JCM800 in the other insert and have them assigned to the patches in the H90. Works really well

[@joejohnson8966]

1:00 wisdom. What matters is what improves the experience. Thank you for sharing this video, Leon.

[@Taylor___]

@5:47 Sick tone that. "Going deeper underground. I'm going I'm going..."

[@LeonTodd]

Oh yeah that is uncanny! For a band that was so big Jamiroquai seemingly don't get talked about as much anymore.

[@jeanpierrenavant1226]

Stereo is great, but being able to go to mono as well makes for even more useful options. I use a Goodwood Audio Underfacer that fits underneath most any board to be able to switch seamlessly from stereo to mono for endless flavors and possibilities. It also helps with many switching options as well.

[@peterharvin2775]

I think that's what they call "an embarrassment of riches". And it's absolutely glorious.

[@LeonTodd]

Absolutely!

[@JTB--]

I love Hard Rock and Metal as much as anybody... but I also enjoy this type of ambient stuff too as a guitar player for a change of pace 🍻

[@Rikamortis6stringer]

Hey Leon, honestly I've been doing stereo rigs for a few years now! I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to a single mono amplifier😅 In the studio with the band I run a stereo dual stacks. On the left side I have a 6505+with v30s and on the right side I have a JCM 800 with g12 75s. And I run a minimal board with stereo delay and a 10-band EQ and stereo reverb in the loops. Up front I use a Rev G4 and a mini Ibanez boost 30 dB plus my custom modded Jerry Cantrell cry Baby. At home I run two gamma combo amps from Guitar center with a Tonex and a morally lead wah boost plus a starlight and a golden. I can't tell you how good it sounds sounds totally incredible and it's super inspiring. I have to say my rig at the studio sounds better It should it cost 10 times as much! Really enjoy your channel!!!!✌️ Keep up the good work my friend I love what you're doing! Peace bro.....

[@LeonTodd]

Literally sat here going "phwoar" as i read about that rig!

[@billsstudio2528]

Brilliant! Inspirational board/playing ! Love the minimalist small board with just these 3 pedals your using, you can entertain many musical ideas! Compact/Stereo/Epic = Legend sounds! Crikey, me likey!

[@MKRISING75]

Pedalboard of dreams right here sounds phenomenal and you’re guitar skills is legendary 🤟🏻

[@patricktracy1966]

I still haven't replaced my 2 H9s with an H90. I dont have GAS. I dont even think about it everyday, more like only every other day. Sounding great as always Mr Todd!

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

I can so see why these effects inspire sir.. Very cool.. Man, those reverbs and delays are too cool.. Very cool, and the H90 obviously like all things eventide rocks! I have to get a micro pitch to get the Steve Vai crossroads tones! In the loop ! I've just not had enough time to seriously do much playing which sucks.. I'm going to have to just make time.. Great video sir.. Love that pitch fuzz too and of course the micro pitch just rocks! Great demo as always sir and you always make me want to play! That's a good thing! Be safe and have a great day and better weekend my friend.. Tim

[@LeonTodd]

Putting it out into the universe for ya, jam time!

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

@@LeonTodd Thank you brother! Big time!

[@PedalScience]

Very nice toans! It's amazing how different certain sounds / albums can be in mono vs stereo. Some 70s albums are better in mono (Beano album for example). But everyone loves a good 80s ping pong delay too ☺️ The ring mod solo from Paranoid is another interesting example (sounds cool in mono; but stereo in headphones you have hard-panned ring mod 😅) I recommend listening to the isolated L/R tracks if you've never done so before!

[@LeonTodd]

Oh I'll never unhear that ring mod now!

[@daniels7624]

Of course you had to play that melody mate ( @2:22 ). Greetz from Germany :D

[@LeonTodd]

hahaha yep, always!

[@TheMarcospatroni]

With my application (Midi Chief) you can change the UAFX presets using a Midi controller.

[@LeonTodd]

tell me more!

[@chrisdavies9143]

Great tones mate. I have a stereo studio board too. It has a Dig, UA Astra, UA Starlight, CXM1978 and the new Walrus Audio Sloer which is stunning. Frankly ridiculous board to be honest, completely unnecessary but then I don't play music out of necessity and the whole setup is completely inspiring. I can run my FM9 into it but also my stage piano and a couple of synths all at the same time so it can sound glorious.

[@LeonTodd]

Immaculate taste right there! Just picked up a DiG that might bump the Brig on this...

[@alexdoyleguitar]

It’s sounds amazing. The tangibility of knobs is great even with digital gear. How would you connect a studio board to an interface like the UA Volt (I have the 476) to use with plugins like say the Marshall suite? Would you need additional hardware/software as I’d want everything in post presumably? Thanks

[@LeonTodd]

Use line out 1/2 and come back to line in 3/4. You'd need to setup the software to set them up as aux's.

[@heavybrett-al4082]

This channel inspires me! The people in today's guitar nerd community inspires me....and videos like this, Leon never fails to example multiple ways for us to create using every level of gear. Like Alice in chains "no excuse's" 🙏

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks brother. How have you pulled up after surgery?

[@heavybrett-al4082]

@@LeonTodd yea operation was 👍, got a little more coming later down the track....but to help...I'm saving for one more guitar 🤣I can't go see Steve Vai so using that cash towards a train ride into Brisbane,find something special.

[@LeonTodd]

This is the way! @@heavybrett-al4082

[@MoreMeRecording]

Are the amps sounds from the H90?

[@LeonTodd]

Axe-Fx

[@dividedbytimestudios]

What was making the amp sounds? Would’ve been cool if you threw an amp in a box on there, like iridium or Friedman IR-X

[@LeonTodd]

In my haste for ambience I forgot to mention I was using my Axe-Fx for the amp tones. I filmed this before i had the IR-X

[@PD-pw4wd]

Hi, Leon! Big fan here, you're video are perfect mix of interesting gear and musicianship. Could you compare Strymon Ultraviolet vibe and Eventide Even-vibe?

[@LeonTodd]

Yep, I've actually got another hardware and software vibe i plan on demoing this month too!

[@PD-pw4wd]

@@LeonToddI guess it's gonna be even-more exciting ;)

[@hugoscaramal]

Man, I really thought he would add the Friedman IR-X to this pedalboard. Wouldn't need anything else?! Inspiring as usual!

[@LeonTodd]

still feels 2203 to me

[@rutger4131]

What is it running into? Or is the H90 even taking care of preamp duties?

[@LeonTodd]

Oh yeah I should have mentioned that! I've got it patched into my Switchblade so i can run it pre or post Axe-Fx, or straight into the Apollo to run with plugins/reamping.

[@johnfritzenjr.1240]

Brig is the real deal

[@LeonTodd]

Gorgeous delay
