    Listening to your Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground and the original, I'm fairly certain the difference in sound is the microphones. Your in-room sound was probably spot on for all of these, really good job.

  • @yateswebb
    @yateswebb 6 років тому +135

    the only thing i don't like about these videos is that they show the pedal without the pedal info/type of pedal/brand, etc. So if you don't just recognize the pedeal, you have to pause, look at it then pop to another tab, google it, then pop back to see the setting. Wish they just had a text overlay with like "Big Muff, Fuzz, High Sustain" something simple.... even though most can recognize that pedal, the others can get pretty niche.

      What? It's valid. Not everyone can own every pedal they use... I appreciate that they dial in to specific niche pedals, but showing a bit of the general approach is helpful and it would be an easy editing thing in the videos just with text overlay.

      The black Gretsch he’s playing is a Streamliner Centerblock Jr. (I think the model number is G2655), they’re relatively inexpensive for how much guitar you get, I think the black only comes with a bigsby right now (or at least did last year when I got mine). They’re like $500-ish, but play way better. I absolutely love mine.

  • @FluidRat
    @FluidRat 6 років тому +1

    Jack White's usage of the Big Muff Pi is more clever than people give it credit for. Fuzz pedals turn your signal from Sine to Square, which organically makes modulations like Pitch Shifters sound much more pleasant to the ear, since it doesn't have to translate every point on the sine curve. Which is why Jack White's usage of the Whammy or POG sounds so.....clean, lacking crazy sounding harmonics that are too sharp
