I've never seen anyone who holds their pick like that actually play well until seeing this video.
Was about to say the same thing lol
Steve Morse uses an aggressive duck grip with the index finger straightened, and looks like a beginner, but of course he's incredible. I've always used a thumb-index duck type grip, but with the index finger bent. I've never understood how most people, especially most good players, prefer not to use the index fingertip at all...meaning the thumb is just mashing the pick against the side of the curled up index finger. To me that's too firm a grip to play all the different ways and get all the different dynamics. It removes the last joint of the index, and all its mobility, as well as removing all those sensory nerves in the tip of the index finger.
@@guyincognito320 Steve Morse is not human - he doesn't count :P
Seriously….
It’s how SRV held his.
I haven’t heard anyone playing with such firebrand intensity since Stevie.
Absolutely kicking’ it!!! ✊🔥🔥🔥
Man, you got to get out and listen to more cats. I wouldn’t even know where to start to tell you. But I guess you could start at the top, Eric Gales.
You're definitely missing on Philip Sayce, Matthew Scott, and more
Great tone and playing but sounds more like Stevie's mid '80s tone. He used either TS9 or an 808 sparingly live in the early '80s. He only played clean for "Texas Flood" and recorded it using Jackson Browne's 400W Dumble an NO tube screamers. He used a Marshall 4140 Club and Country w/ two 12" Celestion G12-80 speakers.....Marshall's version of Fender's Twin Reverb. This Marshall was 100 watts w/ KT77 tubes. He then moved to '64 Fender Vibroverb in later half of '83 until he got the Fender Super Reverb w/ four 10" speakers(He loaded Electro-Voice speakers in his Super Reverb amps) instead of a single 15-inch speaker it provided the louder clean headroom he needed onstage. ................. The point is that SRV had many tones and the mids-heavy tube screamer was only present for some songs His tone came from dialing the amps really loud close to 10 to the edge of break up.......what Dick Dale called the "blossom point". I've been to his shows and they were loud. Now I've been gigging Stevie Ray's material since the late '90s. He was the best!
Such good playing as always! Everything in here sounds amazing. 99% of people would not even be able to tell the difference if there is any change at all. 👍
Thank you so much for the nice comment, I totally agree on the last point ha ha ⬛️
This is great man! When I used to see Waddy Watchel in LA every Monday at the joint he did the same sort of thing: he and his tech manually plugged in a phaser pedal for one song then removed it! He always played straight into two Vibro Kings! 💥
Thanks so much mate! And that’s awesome to hear ha ha 🟧🤗
Monster playing and awesome tones!
I love the way you play. It's so amazing and inspiring.
Thank you so much mate, really appreciate that ❤
@@PedalPawnyou have that pick sticking out so far you must be gripping harder than a bug on a windshield
that playing is insane man
Thank you for jamming to a backing track. So many on YT don't.
When the loop selector is off i hear more top ends, but the most important difference it's that the sound result less compressed when the mxr it's off. This thing it's due to buffers that kills the dinamics and makes a big difference expecially under the fingers of the player. Very good job!.
I like / prefer the sound of a buffered signal. There is this misconception that the rounded highs somehow 'robs' the player of something. It's a sound - ironically a sound made by our old heroes, and a sound many people chase.
Each to their own. I like this tongue in cheek joke - 'Everybody at Woodstock _tried_ their best to enjoy themselves, even though Jimi's pedals were not all TrueBypass .. ' ;)
Very nice, wah always sounds so squelchy infront of a TS.
Also, they some jaazzzzzy chords you played in the demo!!
Woooo! Awesome thanks 🙏
Great sound and guitar work, bro! I'm a subscriber now!
Say what you will about tone suck from the wah, but I think the buffered bypass on the tube screamer is definitely adding some nice top end.
The John Mayer thing was hilarious Chris 🤣🤣🤣oh and ps. Great Tones/sounds/jamming as usual…
🤣🤣 thanks a lot for watching mate
This is bang on for that SRV tone. Can't really hear any difference when you switch on the switcher that could be that were listening through youtube? Awesome playing again.
Thank you so much for the nice comment. I can’t really hear much difference in person/on UA-cam either in all honesty 🎸🎛️
Blows my mind to hear the difference between the switched tone and off. I really try not to be "that" guy - though I actually liked the sound of both because one sounded "warm" where the other maybe lacked a hair of warmth but the "top" was more present and tight. I half think you guys could make Pedal Pawn Loop Switchers - not just for the function... but the actual effect. Especially for cats like me that use a lot of buffered pedals though at times want to quickly go "direct to the amp". Great content - thank you.
U guys opened my eyes to pedals and effects!! Ty. Hey from north Alabama USA 🇺🇸
Wow, that’s amazing! Greetings right back from the UK 🇬🇧 🚀🎸
Chris how do you set your amps for your Fuzz demos? Do you run your amps with a cruch or clean. I always seem to get best results with the amp breaking up then putting the fuzz on. I assume you do the same but your fuzz pedals sound so clean well for a fuzz. Do you use the texas twang for gain then add the fuzz or is it just that at pedal pawn you have some magic fuzz spell book . Tell you what how about a rig rundown video.
Great playing man 🤘
Thanks a lot mate!
man that is just absolutley insane, killer playing🙌...holy crap- i've been trying to play like that for 35 years but you would eat me for breakfast lol ....there is a little difference with the looper switch (a bit warmer maybe) but in a band mix i''m not sure if anyone would notice. these days i guess most peeps have a true bypass wah, so the looper is kind of unnecessary maybe, although i guess it does take the ts9 buffer out of the circuit also, letting you get a pure amp tone.
Thank you so much for saying that ha ha. That’s right, it wouldn’t be worth the trouble for me personally to use this but a cool experiment for sure 🎸
I think I hear more treble with the loop on and the pedals disengaged and it must be due to the buffer. It makes sense because I once read that SRV prefered the coily cables which are basically very long cables in spiral form, because the shorter cables said "they pass too much electricity". By switching the pedals through the looper instead of their own switches eliminates the buffers that make the bypass signal more trebly.
Take that matt scott! Great video
That master switcher is ideal! Got to look into that!
I'm trying to wrap my head around the loop selector. What exactly is it doing when pressed? Do loops A and B play simultaneously? I could hear the TS9 and Wah at the same time, so does that mean the loop selector wasn't engaged? Are there multiple modes when pressed (i.e A only, B only, and A and B)?
im enjoying more the playing instead of the tecnhical stuff. keep rockin dude
gotta love strats nice one
Absolutely killer tone man! Sweet playing too 👍
Thanks so much for that mate, really appreciate it
@@PedalPawn
Nothing like being a bedroom “rockstar” Huh, mate? 😂
@@uponthedownlow3555 I’ve played at Carnegie Hall to 3000x people but my bedroom has more fans 😵💫💨🤣
@@PedalPawn
Im not trying to hurt your feelings. But you honestly don’t get it, and no one is saying you can’t play.
But EVERY video you upload is you doing same tired jam in Emi pentatonic.
How about at least trying to do something a little more original?
I’m challenging you to go outside your comfort zone and do something a little more harmonically and stylistically creative.
How about not using a pick?
How about something in the bebop jazz or classical vain?
There are literally thousands of SRV and EVH clones on UA-cam that can absolutely tear it up.
But there’s only a small handful of players that are actually doing something unique.
Remember… it’s all about composition and writing.
The world is full of “virtuosic” and educated derelicts throughout history…that no one will ever remember.
Give us a link to your performance at Carnegie Hall.
@@uponthedownlow3555 Bro chill out and let the man play whatever he wants.
awesome playing!
Thanks a lot Matt 🚀🎸
The MXR switcher was used as a mute to change guitars - you can hear him use it during the infamous guitar change on Austin City Limits
To me theres a massive difference with or without the loop box. To me it felt cleaner and less "high endy" with the loop box engaged. (Its warmer and rounder with the loop box on)
Even tho it might seem subtle to you or other people listening, I've always felt that its these things that makes the biggest impacts in terms of sound (and especially feel.)
I'm one of those guys that listens much more to how the gear responds and feels, because we have a ton of gear that "sounds" good.
(I don't like stuff that sounds cold/sterile and non responsive.)
So in other words. If its going to feel right, its going to sound right.
That’s a great insight, thanks a lot for that 🎸🚀🤠
What a fantastic video have a great weekend
Thanks a lot man, have a great weekend yourself 🎸🚀
Killer guitar playing!!!!❤
Love that Strat you bought….sometimes you gotta just go for it..life’s tooo short not to..
Thanks so much mate. That was my exact thought process at the time 🎸🚀
Fantastic job...😎👍
Thank you so much mate 🤠
Your pickin style is crazy dude.lol it looks totally chaotic but it works great. The switcher sounds fine to me. Through youtube anyway.lol
Ha ha, thanks a lot mate 🙏🎸🚀
Brilliant!
Thanks a lot mate 🎸
I was too distracted by the top notch playing. 100%
Ha ha, thank you so much for the support 🤠🚀
What's that drumbeat backing you used?
How do you get that tone from the deluxe reverb??
Are the MXR loop selectors worth much? I've got one collecting dust...
lol glad to see you're enjoying them bro, i dismantled my whole SRV rig recently to. My January 63 AA763 Vibroverb is at Carters now and my EVM loaded tommy cougar super reverb is in a studio in nashville now as well as the evm leslie. I went full 60s Marshall Plexi stacks four 4x12 cabs and 2 heads.
I loved Stevie's tone and chasing it, but it in the end, it wasn't my tone, it was his
Thanks a lot mate! That sounds like a killer set up 🤯🤯🎛️🤠
I love his tone as well and I love Clapton's as well and Clapton is probably my biggest hero but for "my" sound I have to have an AC30. I've owned tons of Fender amps but just could never get pleased with them for myself but man I enjoy hearing others that can.
@@SimpleManGuitars1973 it’s like the Klon. I’ve owned the real deal and several klones but I know I’m not a Klon guy lol but some players sound phenomenal with it
@@popeye089 Yeah I've got the Golden Archer and while I like it somewhat ok I really prefer the Beetronics Fatbee, J Rockett Touch, and Walrus Ages to it big time.
Stevie would be proud
Love the video -- would love to do the set up but I know that no matter how hard I try to sound like this -- I won't. :( But you sound identical to that tone. Huge respect man.
Thanks so much mate. Keep going, it’s worth it in the end, and as a lot of other comments will attest, I’m not anywhere too close yet aha 🤠🎸🚀
@@PedalPawn Hey there - thank you so much. I thought your tone in this video was identical to SRV. Sounded like him playing. :)
I would love to learn this improv !! please make tabs out of it !! good stuff !!
Then it wouldn’t be improv for you. I don’t think he went any further here than the first three pentatonic scales-Box I through III
Spend a couple years getting those down (preferably all five), then several more years on improv. You will get there. Although, most people never get there, but you can still get pretty good and have a lot of fun.😝🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸
Certainly didn't hear any negative effect from the MXR. Fun demo. Now if you only did one with a real vintage Strat. 😄 (know you must be loving it)
🤣🤣💪 thanks a lot mate 🚀🎛️
what part of role loop selector actually?
yeah mate, you're good!
Actually seems to get more of a "woody" tone with looper on which definitely nails that srv tone, great playing you seem really motivated with the vintage strat as I'm sure we all wood be.....cheers bro!
Thanks so much for that nice comment! Really appreciate it mate 🎸🚀
@@PedalPawn why sell a vibroverb?
@@lthoedt I was 22 & needed to buy a house as a self employed musician 😭🤣
@@PedalPawn there is no excuse!
@@lthoedt we could buy another one now, but I’ve had my fun with that chase for now 🎛️🎸
He played a rack mounted Roland Dimension D SDD 320. It's a rack mounted chorus he bought 1 new in 1981 it usually missing from people's steve effects.
Indeed, but he never used it live. Used Leslie cab live instead.
Insane tone!!! What happened to the 64 Vibroverb you had in some old videos? I think the combination of that amp + pedals + the strat would sound huge! 🔥🔥
Thank you so much for watching mate. We sold that amp to Fret Junkies (Richie Peters) 🎛️ I agree, it would be an incredible combo 🎸🎸🎸
@@PedalPawn your take on matchbox blues in that video with the Vibroverb was out of this world, I’ve been trying to figure out your licks since then
@@_KerinR_ thank you so much mate, it’s funny as a lot of people pick that riff out from that recording 🙌🚀🎸
@@PedalPawn Well there’s a reason why, it sounds insanely good, you should do another take on it so I could steal some of your licks 😂
I don't get the hate, can't see SRV playing any more gigs 🤷♂ sounds awesome, is that a stock deluxe reverb?
Thanks a lot for the support mate. That’s correct 🎛️🎸
Genius
I have on mxr loop selector and yes it’s really rare to find
That’s awesome! ⬛️🚀
Did you use any attenuator? I had a Deluxe reverb and It doens`t sound near as it... 👏👏
We sure did mate 🎛️🚀
where you finding these backing tracks?
I’ve added a link to the drums in the description, and then I added some bass 🤗🎸
GAHHHHH DANG
Great playing and tone. When the pedals are engaged is it Guitar-wha-tube screamer-amp or guitar-tube screamer-wha-amp. what is the order of pedals thanks :)
Thanks a lot mate, yes that’s correct on the Guitar > Wah > TS9 🎸🤠
What kind of amplifier are you using and what are the settings? Thank you very much.
E flat tuning along with your fantastic playing and amazing vibrato...vibrato is something I just can't quite get down, it's been a long journey and I'm still not there! Is it something you practiced?
Thanks so much for the nice comment. It can be tricky to get a Vibrato that you’re happy with, it’s something that I’ve been conscious of from a young age, I can’t remember if I specifically practised it though, I don’t think I did 🎸
vibrato is just bending the strings really fast i practiced bending the string faster and faster i hope this helps
He used a Thomas organ King Vox Wah and a TS808 in the early days...on the first two albums.
Actually he used the TS9 and a Vox wah that was owned by Hendrix (with the trash can type inductor). He transitioned to the king vox tdk type wah later on his career.
👍👍
Один из немногих кто играет с таким же напором как SRV, звук крутой!!!
What amp did you use?
I used a Fender Deluxe Reverb reissue here, thanks a lot
@@PedalPawn : thanks - btw: awesome playing.
cool, is the wah before TS?
Thanks a lot mate, yes that’s correct 🎸🤠
what amp did you use?
Fender deluxe reverb reissue. Thanks a lot 🎛️
Maybe the slightest loss of high sparkle with the looper engaged?
I honestly couldn’t tell much difference, though, I feel like there was somehow slightly more sparkle with the pedals in line 😂🎸
@@PedalPawn Right on. Even with great quality video like yours, there's just nothing like being in the room, eh?
@@wonkthisway totally mate, ha ha! 🎸
Excellent demo and playing. One point: please don't call the MXR pedal a 'looper'. We all know what a looper is, and this isn't one. It's a loop switcher.
Pickups?
Where's the Marshall Major?
Srv has been done to death.
the loop selector eats some tone(bass..) , i prefer without it
Missing something not quite there
this young kid doesn't hold a candle to SRV, he's trying way to hard, Stevie's playing was effortless : )
Who cares
Honestly this guy absolutely smashed it, how about you upload something yourself and we can all see how "effortless" your playing is?
Here we have one of them there internet trolls. Life must be hard for you
I’m pretty sure this video was called “recreating SRV’s pedalboard” and not “Look at how much I can play like SRV”??
Nobody is a bigger SRV fan than myself and I have to disagree with you. Chris makes it at least as effortless if not more so.
It's ok the read a classics to the kids, but these particular stories can't be duplicated, he might of been telling them from a studio, a stage , in a groady Roadhouse, back alley or trying to impress Albert King or pic up a chick or high.....let SRV own his space
Austin is full of SRV clones and they still sound bland.
YT is full of SRV clones
Just hit subscribe. 😐👍🎸📺
Without the proper rig, guitar setup, and chops, there are plenty who sound bland, including myself! However, I shared a stage with Chris Duarte a couple months back, and there was nothing bland about his playing or sound.
Wrong....they're not clones. Just keeping his music alive
I love how everyone is bashing people other than SRV playing this way….. we are celebrating him not cloning shit…. Takes a great player to get up and bare his soul playing any music and making it sound good…. And close to that magic SRV sound….I played Sweet Home Alabama on an SRV clone guitar and got the same response…. I told fucko that SRV meant Sac religious Viking….. I play what I love…. You don’t like it don’t listen….
there's more buzz than sound, my friend! Stevie certainly didn't have these problems! with a sound like this, any sound engineer on any stage in the world would tell you that you have problems to solve!
after all, it doesn't make sense to use the send and return loop to preserve original sound if you have all this hum eating up all your sound.
A 60s Strat and 200 year old building really don’t mix well, though once the drums come in, no one really cares anymore. There’s some crazy live recordings of SRV just the same 🤠
I also have a red strat from the 60s, I connect it to the bassman '59 reissue with nos tungsol valves from 1962. I use the wah, the fuzz and the ts9 and I don't have any hum. The sound of SRV comes out anyway
It’s time to move on. Start copying Steve Howe maybe? 😅
Give me the hate for it, but I think SRVs tone was pretty ass. Great player but his sound was just not it
Pedals…what a guitar player uses to cover up the fact he cant play guitar. Which is why stevie only used what he used…no bull shit. Just get good.
That makes no sense
But Stevie did use pedals. And Hendrix, Page, Gilmour, Knopfler, Beck.
Almost all guitar legends used pedals
@@cmiddleton9872 3 pick ups and a 5 way tremelo switch. The effects are built in...The tool is only as good as the person using it.
@@stringgreens6387”5 way tremelo switch” 😂😂😂🤡
Why do you want to copy other players sound and style? Develop your own sound and style or stay home.
You are nuts. And ignorant. Chris is an original. Nobody plays like him.
So true
This guy is such an SRV wannabe, it’s pathetic. No original thought ever comes out of his mouth or on his guitar.
He’s like a robot guitar dweeb stuck on SRV mode.
