    It's nice to see that the Boss NS-10 Noise Supressor is acknowledge by famous people as the best noise supressor ever. I have one since they came out, it cost me a lot of money (almost 200€ in today's currency) but It will stay with me as long as I live and I think it will outlast me.

    nope, the other amp is powering one speaker that is in a box that has one or two microphones in it, those send the sound that they record to the large speakers that you can see in both sides of a stage, if you've ever been to a concert. the cabinets that have more/4 speakers per cabinet, are there for stage volume. jim has said that if he wanted, he could get rid of them, but he wants to hear he's playing from them.

  • @thomasdawson6273
    @thomasdawson6273 11 років тому +1

    It's good to see Mick has finally decided tone is important, a plywood guitar with EMG's in it sounds almost as bad on paper as it does in reality. Jim's rack is amazing, great choice with the Orange/Bogner/Diezel combo.

    Most guitarists won't have their pedals/pedalboards on stage unless they're really fussy/particular about such stuff, like Korn (last time) and Muse.
    I think what he meant by controller pedal is a remote switch/expression pedal, so it doesn't clutter up the stage or make it hazardous to headbang/mosh around.

  • @apple_with_a_human_butt
    @apple_with_a_human_butt 14 років тому

    the power unit is i guess for swaping between the american and european/ect voltage, but still keeping the amps and such going and not blowing. rackmount wah is tweakable, so they basicly have wah's that they like. and the effects/pedals are used alot in slipknot actually. not maby so much on the records but they use them live, to make it more fun they say or add colour, or boost or saturation, whatever. i think there is a sensible reason to most of their stuff. and the old stuff is old stuff.

  • @daeman13
    @daeman13 15 років тому

    it can be either but if hes controlling it the pedal would be on the floot with him. a rack mount wah is just basically a wah built into a rack unit with a "dummy" pedal controlling the sweep the pedal could be used for other foot controlling uses aswell its just not a wah.

    @tohtorigyro Yes, they do have pedals, the question is.. does it make a difference? I don't care if they have so many rig modules and stuff, its just that, do they even use it wise? I don't think so. All they need is a guitar, a distortion pedal or an overdrive amp, and that's it, you got a Slipknot album.

    Sort of like a backup rack, or like what he said how if he was playing in one country he could ship the other rig to another to ensure that he has one to play when they get to their gig in that other country.
