I would add in an EQ pedal. An eq pedal can your rig so much more versatile. You can make a Strat pickup sound thicker like a humbucker or the other way around, you can complete revoice the sound of all your drive pedals, you can use it as a clean boost for your solos.

That Drop pedal tip is excellent. Technology and tracking has progressed enough to use a pedal based option to adjust keys effortlessly. At home I also use different pedals for gain depending on the song, leave the amp on the clean channel. I used to use the gain channel on the amp, but for the reasons you mentioned, it ties you down to the gain flavour of the amp and you need to have a channel switch when you want to go clean.

👍The Zoom 50g. Found one in a bargain bin for 40 bucks. Use it all the time. The" Slicer" is another cool effect it has that you would never waste the space for. It has tons of useable effects and Amp sims. Usable, not toy. The thing can be a standalone amp with effects in an emergency and even takes Batteries.

Some great advice here from Michael. My preference is as few pedals as possible, but all analogue and no multi-fx. My board has a Boss tuner pedal, a crappy chorus (must get a better one), an excellent Fender Waylon Jennings phaser, a Guyatone PS-015 overdrive, a DOD FX-90 delay, and for magic, a Boss Blues Driver. This last pedal is always on, and set clean, but very loud. It brings the sound to life. For wah, I use the guitar's tone control. I refuse to use noisy pedals (so no noise gate is needed), and in the one venue I know where the electrical supply causes noise, I use a guitar with humbuckers. All of this generally using the clean channel of a decent amp, and occasionally the overdrive channel.

I use a multi-effects instead of standard pedals for the reason of being much faster in changing sounds in between songs. You can for instance instantly switch from a massive distorted sound with just some reverb to a clean chorus sound with delay specifically tuned to a certain song. Tuning all the jobs on pedals will take you ages😄

I sometimes get questions from people who seem confused about drop-D tuning vs. standard-D tuning. Seems to be the case here. Drop-D tuning is when only the top string is tuned down(in case of a 6 string). Standard-D tuning is when all strings are tuned down 1 full tone. For completion: drop-C tuning is the top string in C, the rest 1 full note down. In general: drop tuning has the top string 1 full note tuned down compared to the rest.

Great video! I always start with sorting out gain stages - do I have enough, have I covered all I need to cover etc. Hopefully, the right 2 pedals can cover 4 useful sounds including clean. I use guitar volume to shade/provide extra colour to gain stages and boost e.g. for a solo when needed. I’m typically going into a clean Deluxe or Tonex pedal. I always have a dedicated short delay pedal. Then I think multi FX of some kind is what you want tbh. I have Eventide H90 which is a ‘no compromises’ option but there are so many great cheaper options. One vital thing this gives you is a TUNER! That would also cover other delay types, pitch, modulations and reverbs (possibly stuff like filter if I need). Then a fifth pedal would be a bit of a luxury/vibe pick. Either another gain stage for added flexibility (I love fuzz so might sneak one in) or another dedicated modulation pedal - univibe, tremolo etc.

Obviously depends on the genre of cover band but a overdrive\distortion, chorus, delay, wah, and leave the 5th pedal for player taste. Most amps have a solid reverb built in so that eliminates the need for that in pedal form.

What's your preferred monitoring method for gigs? Also reason #4 (7:30), you can easily put a boost pedal after the AmpInABox for volume jump for solos. If you're already using your amp's gain channel, a boost into the front will mostly just give more saturation, not volume.

I noticed you said put the noise gate after drive pedals or in the fx loop. I have rarely ever used one myself, but that is exactly how I always figured you should use one. I’ve noticed lately though, that every single person I’ve seen using an amp modeller like AxeFX or whatever nowadays, is always using a noise gate first in their signal chain. That makes no sense to me at all. The only thing that would be suppressing would be 60 cycle hum from the guitar, and all the really noisy gain effects and such would not be being muted at all. 🤷🏼

Great point, having something battery powered is really important if there's some sort of issue with the power supply. I've had friends tell me about outdoor gigs where the power generator somehow overpowered their amp and literally caused it to set on fire. Having a power conditioner is good but if it keeps tripping then you need some sort of backup that bypasses the dodgy power supply. Battery powered multi FX into PA would at least get you through.

How do you handle changing settings between songs when playing live? I play at church and there is no time between songs to tweak settings. I have to build patches in my Zoom G3xn, but I prefer standalone pedals cause the Zoom only has a few good effects.
@MichaelBanfieldGuitar
@MichaelBanfieldGuitar 2 ай бұрын
That is tricky, I can get away with some teaks here and there but like you say if there's too many setting changes it's off putting and distracting. The tap tempo feature helps with changing delay speed on the fly. But sometimes you have to accept you need another pedal, I find using two delay pedals very useful, it's just having space on the board. The small multi effects like the TC plethora stuff is really useful and normally easy to switch to a different patch of effects and means you can still mainly use your favourite stand alone stomp boxes, that approach might help.

I can use my 40w Pro Reverb as a clean platform amp in the same way as long as the gig isn't too big and loud, a lot of the time when it gets that big a venue you're going to be mic'd up anyway.

Interesting take; lots of ways to skin this gerbil. I wouldn't take a drop tuner; I play guitar, not pedals so I'd rather grab a tuner on the fly or if I need to drop a whole or a half step, I'll tune there and capo accordingly. In fact, I'd swap that for a tuner I can actually see on a brightly sunlit stage. I'd dispense with the chorus, too, in favor of what's in the multi-effector, which is absolutely essential, especially if it has a switchable/programmable effects loop, a boost and a treadle that can do wah or volume. Even better with banks, presets and emulated direct outs on XLR. If I have that, why do I need other pedals? (or an amp, even) But then too, how specific do I need to get with my sounds in a bar band cover situation? The drunks don't care all that much; they're there to drink dance and chase tail, so not having the right fuzz pedal ain't gonna queer your deal. A tribute situation? Different animal.

The amp in a box pedals are always a let down versus the real thing. Even the ones featured here sounded like a line 6 spider amp. Not very inspiring. Passable in a pinch.

Correction: don’t play in a cover band to begin with and focus on original material.

Perhaps, but it's fun to play one's favourite hits with band mates and if there's an audience who digs it too then why not. Personally I enjoy covers that reinterpret the originals with different arrangements, particularly a well done simple acoustic "demo" style version.

I disagree, cover bands serve a purpose and seeing a good cover band can be a really entertaining night out. Not everyone is in the mood to hear original music they don’t know, nor can everyone go see bigger bands every weekend. That said, if all the local cover bands play the same songs that everyone is sick of, that is fairly tedious alright.
