Thanks man! Haven’t had this guitar for a while, but it was really fun! I tend to go for a more midrangey sound now and the Portlander can feel pretty stiff. I’d look at the Duesy or a Duo Jet!

thanks a ton!

@@itscoleperkins sort of I guess? Haha I usually think in terms of EG1/EG2, it necessarily rhythm and lead. The top for this video definitely takes care of more of the rhythm stuff towards the end of the song, but both are playing a variety of different parts!

@@jamesransom7711 right, that’s why I had to ask. In a lot of songs it’s chords on the rhythm guitar and licks on the lead the whole song. Thats how we divide it up between our guitarists though so I was just looking to assign them properly.

@@kmdmusic8540 thanks man! And yep, El Rayo’s in that one. Such a killer guitar!

@@zacgrimme6280 dude yes! Been so long haha what a coincidence. Hope you’ve been well!

@@erikhartley2494 thanks man! Same verb and delay as the picking parts for that guitar. I think it’s one of my upperroom sounds, I make those a little darker and washier. Delay is the el cap, one of the multihead settings! Mix and repeats pretty high but dark. Boost and DRV are on for sustain

@@Lennard201 some picks have a textured side to them. When you use that side, it’s a grittier/brighter attack that I really like for certain sounds. You can look at the blue Herdim’s or Keith urban signature picks

​@@jamesransom7711Ahh you mean the "finger grip" side. So you hold the pick upside down? Or am I wrong?

@@Lennard201 yep that’s right! Some picks have a more prominent “scratchy” part than others

@@jankarloberasis2299 100%! Each song is unique and you can chart whatever path feels best on it 🙏🏽

@@boalston2484 thanks man! I really just stage things like they’re real amps. I start with my comp at unity or barely above, and then the Dcx takes that tone and focuses it a bit more (EQ and a little bit of gain if needed). The AP and daily driver are both first stages. The AP is loud and big, and the DD is crisp and focused. The DRV is my biggest, smoothest almost distortion sound, and then the Benson boost can stand on its own to fill things out or take an existing drive tone and make it louder. Lots of intentional options!

​@@jamesransom7711 Man I don't know how I didn't see your response; I'm bummed because this is gold! I ended up getting a tonex one and bringing my iridium back out and it rips bro! So if I'm understanding your setup right, all of your drives are set at different volumes too in order to give yourself more combinations?

@@boalston2484 nice man! Basically every drive gives me a little volume lift, maybe 5-10% more. That keeps things nice and predictable when I’m going for a different tone in a song

@@jedidiahthompson4000 thanks man!

Lollar El Rayos!

@@jamesransom7711Sweet, love the tone man!

@@bedroomproducer214 thanks a ton man, and thanks for checking it out!

Thanks man! Love that part too 🤘🏽

Thanks Chris! The neck and middle are original, and the bridge is a Dimarzio injector (what Keith Urban uses in his strats). I like the tones a lot, they just aren’t super balanced with each other. I’ve been looking at the Lollar Special 64 set!

@@jamesransom7711 that’s awesome! A friend of mine has that Lollar 64 special set! They’re great! I also like the custom shop fat 50s a lot of people are using right now - they legit keep up with humbuckers pretty well. You don’t need to completely change your tone approach for the Strat with those

@@christopherduvall7094I’ll check those out too! Heard lots of good things about them!

Thanks so much!

@@jamesransom7711 no, thank YOU!

Message me on insta about it 🤘🏽

This was filmed earlier today! Still have it 😎

Oh, I didn’t know you actually still have it. Cool. I hear the ToneX Ones have been giving some great tone lately. Looking forward to seeing some of your impressions on them. Keep it up man.

Audio Technica E70’s! Universal fit but sound great 🤘🏽

Yeah this video was made before people had more control over ads, so I can't control them on that video even now. Hopefully it's not too much of a bother haha definitely not rolling in Adsense money over here haha

Most of my videos are for a one guitar on stage context, but this one is mainly the lead parts I play.

Hey there! If you’re using stereo effects in front of the Iridium you’ll need a stereo trs to dual TS mono cable, and then switch the input on the iridium to stereo!

@@jamesransom7711 and how do you use it?

Thanks man! It’s a ‘96 Fender MIJ strat

I've always been a fan of the 1176 circuit, and really appreciated how Brian approached the Ego 76. He wanted to include all the punch and presence from the whole 1176 chain in the pedal, so it really elevates things beyond what a "standard" comp pedal would. Lots of great options out there though!
