I know im randomly asking but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Yehuda Rex Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I love having you explain how you use your own pedalboard. I'm so use to pedal demos where people talk about effects in isolation. This was refreshing!
Back in the day, I had a setup similar to your use of the Vertex boost. In my case, I was using my beloved Univox Uni-Comp compressor (a sadly overlooked masterpiece, but the complete opposite of "transparent") as my clean boost. I had an EHX Hot Foot controller working the volume pot on the compressor. The Hot Foot was an entirely mechanical device in one of those big EHX wah shells. You'd attach the free end of what was essentially a bicycle brake cable to the shaft of a pot, and moving the treadle up and down would rotate the cable and pot.
Love the option to go in-line or use an effects loop. I just did the same and can’t believe it how great having the choice is .. or audition other pedals too.
Always wondered about those Drop pedals. Now I know. If they're good enough for an pro like you, they're good enough for me. Thanks for the killer demo RJ
Righteous board mang! I wonder if you'll follow a similar path...i too, built a do it all pedalboard only to downsize due to weight. My board weighed in at around 25-30 pounds... which, if you ever have to lug over any significant distance, will be trimmed to a svelte 10-15 lbs. 😊
Cool board, RJ! You should get a Barefoot Button for the Tchula...they make a tall one that would make it easier to hit that second switch with your foot.
Congrats with your new pedalboard. I always enjoy your awesome-playing & demo's. Leave it to Mason - to Think of every possible scenario. That Lawrence Petross LPD Eighty 7 distortion is calling-my-name !!! oNe LovE from NYC
R.J. my brother ! man that's a badass board ( pretty too ! ). Your still bringing the groovy tones as always !!!.Really appreciate the shakedown on your board and the tools your workin with , diggin on the knaggs too !.Peace , LA
That is one sweet setup. But I went a different route. Guitar into Helix, the Helix into a Thomas Blug Amp1 and then one cable into a 2x12 cab. The Helix is the best effects kit ever conceived. The Amp one is a four channel 100W amp that has an effects loop and an optional foot switch that controls it. But it's the size of a EHX multi effects pedal. It's such a simple setup, yet I have more tonal options that I can ever use, and it all sounds studio quality. It took a while, I was a stomp box believer like you are now.
Love this setup. Interesting how everyone I’ve seen with the Lovepedal Tchula, put somewhere different in their chain. Josh Smith runs it first as an always on pedal. I’ve played with a few other players who each had different uses. One had it last in his gain pedals, one used it between two fuzzes, and another had it between a TS and a Lovepedal Zen. I’d like to try one, and it’s on my shortlist of pedals to try next.
Just wanted to say thanks for the Review stumbling over the LPD87 was surprise just the sound I was looking for thanks for the link I ordered one and all :)
Great pedalboard RJ! Sounds fantastic! But to me, the best best guitar/gear videos are the ones that make me want to pick up my guitar and just play! Your videos have that effect on me! No pun intended... Thanks and best wishes! Adam Tarr
Hell yeah, Park Fuzz Sound! Absolutely love mine. Very cool to hear it paired with that Octaland... If only the Octaland cost less than a million dollars... lol. Looking hard at that 3699 fUZZ to kinda cover the same territory.
I like that patch box that allows you to go from front to effects loop and vice versa. Vertex should market that. ( Or share the schematic) Just kidding Vertex! It’s your work, don’t give it away!
@@VertexEffectsInc that's super cool of you dude, most people don't know that those sorts of routing boxes are super cheap and easy to make. lots of manufacturers sell them as space dust
nice pedalboard indeed.. but am I the only guitar player that just doesnt dig all that fuzz.. I've been playing covers for years and I cant think of one time I would have used a fuzz pedal.. need to get a drop D though... as always.. great vid
So, I take it that you didn't contact Catalinbread about acquiring a Topanga? Either way, that Boss reverb has all the settings that you need to go surfing. But both of those stacked together, would probably make you the Long-board King.
Hi R.J. Great job! Nice selection of pedals all together in a perfectly designed pedalboard. Mason is the man! Just one question: what type of case are you using to transport the pedalboard? Cheers.
I am surprised the Boss reverb makes it to this board! It should have been overruled by other pedals in the market by this point but it keeps appearing in pedalboards. I would appreciate an elaborate explanation why it is so, one would think that being a digital pedal should be obsolete by now. On top of that is discontinued. Cannot a pedal maker build the ultimate spring tank digital reverb pedal? What is going on? Suggestion: hit Ryan of @60 Cyclo Hum and talk about it! thanks for your videos
Hi, very cool channel friend, great playing and reviews! been watching many videos latelly.. Tell me, did you (or anybody here) ever experienced any kind of "white noise" when engaging your Digitetch Drop and the Octaland?? I started my pedalboard in a similar way like TC mini Politune -> Drop -> Tycobrahe Octavia (reissue), then, vibe, overdrives, etc.. BUT, it's impossible to use them both (Drop -> Octavia) engaged this way. So I had to put the Drop after the Octavia, but not sure if it is the best place to the Drop when playing with the Octavia engaged too.. I've heard the Digitech Drop has many complains from its users when combining the Drop with other pedals.. That's a shame, because very cool and practical pedal.. Cheers!
Excellent run through R.J. After seeing how many amazing pedals you demo it's also cool to see what you feel is essential and why for your needs/style. Quick question: I see you're using a cioks 10 power supply, but have more than 10 pedals. Are you chaining some of the lower drawing pedals together? Any advice would really be appreciated!
I sent Mason and Vertex a message a month ago about making me the EXACT same junction box to use with and without amps with effects loops. They said no of course, THANKS MASON!!!
A-Camp * When I come out with my video with RJ I will show you how to build it, provide a diagram, and a drilling template so that you could re-create this yourself. I don’t have the bandwidth running my pedal company in parallel with doing the videos to accommodate these sorts of things. But happy to give you all of the information so that you can do it.
AWESOME board RJ! I've just seen you use the Nemesis Delay. Have you experienced any tonal change regarding the lack of analog dry through or it is not noticeable? Keep rocking!
Nice board man Killer job ! Thank you for the vid. As always , great content. Is you SP in LO setting (middle) , did alter the settings under the hood?
Vertex Effects shouldn’t the fuzzes be first in the chain? I thought the fuzz needs to see the direct load from the pickups, unobstructed by a pedal in between? Thx rig doctor!
mconra ideally you want low Z post fuzz, however R.J. is manually switching this stuff and the tuner buffer can be bypassed via Footswitch in the programming without muting the signal and just using then VP to mute. R.J. isn’t typically using fuzz and drop at the same time.
Awesome choice of pedals & placement ,& of course impressive pedalboard too! Putting aside the $$ investment of pedals ,how much was the cost for the whole process ?, please don't be shy and share 🤗
Nice comprehensive and focused array of effects! You struck pure gold having the Rig Doctor work his magic on your board 😁
I see you rocking that TPS t-shirt. Is a visit to their studio in the future?
I really enjoy looking at pedalboards. It gives a real insight into a guitarists mind and style that i admire.
I know im randomly asking but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account??

@Yehuda Rex it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Aiden Neil no problem :)
I love the fact this is just a board of pedals - no midi, no looper or switcher - a nice old school board with all the bases covered.
That DigiTech drop tuner is awesome and a time saver, it sounds really good, i'm quite surprised. Awesome board RJ, you must be over the moon!
Over the Moon confirmation he’s up there 👍🏽
I just finished my pedalboard 2 days ago and I’m using the Peterson tuner also! Just ordered it on a whim and have fallen in love with it!
I love having you explain how you use your own pedalboard. I'm so use to pedal demos where people talk about effects in isolation. This was refreshing!
Pedalboard run through in a TPS t-shirt, Dan & Mick will be proud!
Such a musical board. Each sounds awesome on its own and when stacked. Also double 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 for the amount of fuzz and drive on the board.
Back in the day, I had a setup similar to your use of the Vertex boost. In my case, I was using my beloved Univox Uni-Comp compressor (a sadly overlooked masterpiece, but the complete opposite of "transparent") as my clean boost.

Slightly surprised to not see a wah wah pedal on there but such a great pedalboard nonetheless!

The video I’ve wanted for so long......thanks RJ.
Oh boy, I loved the tone at 9 with eighty 7 pedal, delay & compressor. Great demo of pedalboard! Cheers 🤘
Awesome Pedal baord R.J.! 🎸😎
Congrats with your new pedalboard. I always enjoy your awesome-playing & demo's. Leave it to Mason - to Think of every possible scenario. That Lawrence Petross LPD Eighty 7 distortion is calling-my-name !!! oNe LovE from NYC
My goodness that Digitech Drop is awesome!
A pedalboard without hx stomp is like damn girl you look good. 😜😜😜 I love you PB. 🤛🏾👊🏾🤛🏾👊🏾
Just about the most versatile board I've seen. It sounds brilliant!
That board does everything and covers every soundscape you could ever dream of.. great pedal choices!
Damn I love the fuzz selection, the fuzz bender especially.
Ventris is a superb reverb. Expresso FX is top-notch. The others are excellent too. Nice video.
All great pedals! The LPD sounds ACE! Love all of Lawrence’s pedals!
Thank you for sharing this! Definitely gonna have to pick up one of those twin reverb pedals.
Great collection. That Park fuzz and the Herculean sound ace.
But what's a brotary looper?
R.J. my brother ! man that's a badass board ( pretty too ! ). Your still bringing the groovy tones as always !!!.Really appreciate the shakedown on your board and the tools your workin with , diggin on the knaggs too !.Peace , LA
This is an EPIC pedalboard. I love everything about it. Keep it going
Digitech Drop!? What a great idea! THX R.J.
Did Mason give you the mini crowbar that helps you pry the pedals off the board? That's what he uses.
Love the spiders from Mars absolutely love bowie ❤
That mythos OD is beautiful

Newbies should know pedals need to complement their amps/axes. I like how that pedal show talks about that stuff. Great video. Great playing
Wow.. Pedal heaven, you need more fuzz pedals :p.. Love your vids
Hey RJ! I found you through Tim Pierce's channel. That was a great jam. Would love to hear more of the two of you riffing!
Just wanted to say thanks for the Review stumbling over the LPD87 was surprise just the sound I was looking for thanks for the link I ordered one and all :)

Killer board and Run through RJ. Well thought out out and versatile.
Dude, you had to release this ... just after I sold my Boss FRV-1 ☹️. I want it back now... 😭 Oh and BTW, your board is missing an Iridium... 😉
Killer board! Mason is awesome! I’ve gotta get that drop pedal and save me some tuning and carrying an extra guitar!!
Susmaryosep! Nice board Don Ron-Teal-io
Envious of the drop pedal. That looks really handy!
Only heard it briefly but I'm surprised at how good it sounded.
Now that you mentioned you're a big fan of Mick Ronson, I feel a lot closer to you! Nice board, excellent, I'd say.
Awesome and versatile pedal board plus the junction 📦 nice...
Hell yeah, Park Fuzz Sound! Absolutely love mine. Very cool to hear it paired with that Octaland... If only the Octaland cost less than a million dollars... lol. Looking hard at that 3699 fUZZ to kinda cover the same territory.
That delay sounds amazing!!
I find your lack of vibe before dirt disturbing.
Awesome pedalboard anyway, dude!
Everyone is using the LPD 87. I guess I need to check one out. Second on my list, I still haven't tried a novels ODR1.
Nice. The dirt section is damn cool.
Wahoo.. Rock 'n Roll, Killer board R.J.
+1 for the TPS shirt!!
I like that patch box that allows you to go from front to effects loop and vice versa. Vertex should market that. ( Or share the schematic) Just kidding Vertex! It’s your work, don’t give it away!
tomcoryell My plan is to publish it and even give you a drilling template so that you can replicate the exact same box on your own.
@@VertexEffectsInc that's super cool of you dude, most people don't know that those sorts of routing boxes are super cheap and easy to make. lots of manufacturers sell them as space dust
AttakaiMusic it’s easy and if you can make a guitar cable you can make a patch bay
Thanks! Great explanation, R.J.
Where’s the SMJ???!
TPS t-shirt but no G2? Isn't that a bit sacrilegious? ;)
It is a nice board, with some very nice tones. Congrats. Enjoy!
Nice 👍🏻 I’m on the Nemisis + Ventris tip too...
Awesome! Congratulations.
Nice now to make room for susmaryjosep
YESSSS RJ
Simple and so great!
Good job sound's cool!
Always enjoy your vids
I am not of a fuzz guy but you make it work sounds great I liked the Mythos pedal . Nice pedalboard
Very sweet Board Brother!
nice pedalboard indeed.. but am I the only guitar player that just doesnt dig all that fuzz.. I've been playing covers for years and I cant think of one time I would have used a fuzz pedal.. need to get a drop D though... as always.. great vid
A Proco Rat is about as fuzzy as I ever go anymore
Sweet pedalboard, RJ... definitely have me looking up some of your pedals on there. You're killing my wallet! But my ears are happy.
Fully loaded 🤘🏽 all the way with RJ. The 87 is my fave on that board 👍🏽
No metal zone?? WTF mang!?!😂 maybe try a WASA version 🤙🏽
PS where can I get a rattle can of rontealio green? I got a 58 vet that would look great in that color 🤘🏽
it's a secret concoction only the Novo paint people know.
🤫👍🏽
So, I take it that you didn't contact Catalinbread about acquiring a Topanga? Either way, that Boss reverb has all the settings that you need to go surfing. But both of those stacked together, would probably make you the Long-board King.
Now you just need to add your signature pedal to that baby.
1 for the money…
Very clean pedal board does a lot. I also like the guitar what is the brand
Knaggs Kenai DR
Thanks again
Great job and explanation!
DOOD! What kind of socks are those?!?! I think that’s the secret to your tone.
Hi R.J. Great job! Nice selection of pedals all together in a perfectly designed pedalboard. Mason is the man! Just one question: what type of case are you using to transport the pedalboard? Cheers.
Ricardo Rocha we got a pelican air case
No comp deal R.J ? Thanks a lot. French fan here

The Boss is the closest to the real thing (tube driven Fender Reverb unit) I'm my opinion. The EHX Oceans 11 is also very good.
Nice choices. Very practical.
Duuuude ... That’s really awesome

Great sounding board!
Nice board. Just subscribed!
Hi cool vid
Why the SP and not the Cali76 compressor?
Daamn you can reeeeally play! 👌
Excellent! ...Now I shall rule the world.
AWESOME board RJ! I've just seen you use the Nemesis Delay. Have you experienced any tonal change regarding the lack of analog dry through or it is not noticeable? Keep rocking!
Great video. Just subscribed. Have you ever tried the Bogner La Grange? If so, what do you think?
Awesome pedalboard, congratulations! ;)
Neat!
Your playing's just great man!
Respect!
Nice board man
Killer job !
Thank you for the vid. As always , great content. Is you SP in LO setting (middle) , did alter the settings under the hood?
Nice board and lots of pedals. Whats the buffer situation?
Put the tuner AFTER the drop tuner, so u know what tuning you're in before u start the song.
You need the input buffer in the Peterson Tuner to be as close to the guitar as possible to control for the pickup loading.
Vertex Effects shouldn’t the fuzzes be first in the chain? I thought the fuzz needs to see the direct load from the pickups, unobstructed by a pedal in between? Thx rig doctor!
mconra ideally you want low Z post fuzz, however R.J. is manually switching this stuff and the tuner buffer can be bypassed via Footswitch in the programming without muting the signal and just using then VP to mute. R.J. isn’t typically using fuzz and drop at the same time.
That's soooo sick!
My question is how can the fuzzes still sound good if they are not placed first in the chain??
Awesome choice of pedals & placement ,& of course impressive pedalboard too! Putting aside the $$ investment of pedals ,how much was the cost for the whole process ?, please don't be shy and share 🤗
