Bill Frisell - Effects Pedal Demonstration

  • The Fretboard Journal magazine took a trip to Bill Frisell's Seattle home to talk pedals. As anyone who has seen Frisell perform over the years can attest, this is a musician who loves guitars, effects and mixing it up. Here, he puts his current setup through the paces for us. It's an up-close look at one of the guitar world's most important innovators.
    Frisell is quick to admit that his pedal board changes often -- new finds are always being tried out. He's also done plenty of recordings and live dates with no effects at all.
    Effects pedals heard in this video:
    Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2
    Boss TU-2
    Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer (stock)
    TC Electronics Hall of Fame
    Electro-Harmonix Freeze
    Line 6 DL4
    Wright Sounds Fuzz Stang
    Shown, but not used in the video:
    Electro-Harmonix Micro POG
    Way Huge Electronics Ring Worm
    Aguilar Audiolex
    Z.Vex Ringtone
    Frisell's custom Jazzmaster was built by J.W. Black, with custom art by Terry Turrell. The amp is a vintage Gibson GA-18.

    In 2006, I saw Bill and his band at High Sierra Music Festival - Late night stage at 1-4am or so...A bunch of that stuff right there along with some SERIOUS quartet jamming. Blew my face off and then at the end of it all, Bill just kinda smiled like he does here and humbly waved and like "time to get some sleep, boys and girls." One of a kind.

    Looks like an earlier T Rex Room-mate tube reverb; right underneath is that sweet GA-18. (He doesn't travel with a sound guy, or roadie, or guitar tech, and he kind of sets up his own rig, too, right on the stage. Here it's on a pedal board but he usually just dumps a bag of pedals out and let's it rip!)

    @duhdamac -- Ooops! Sorry--didn't see your later post. Yeah, a Freeze pedal is the next on my list. One of the things I wish Line6 had done was to allow looping to continue while you're on other delay settings. About the only way around that is to buy another loop station (I shot the moon on a Boss RC-50 which I'm not too crazy about--probably should have just bought another "green monster"!).

    @duhdamac You can get a type of ring modulator tone from the "Reverse" setting on a DL4 if you turn the "Delay Time" knob down and the Repeats knob up (past 12 o'clock at least). You can even approximate a steel drum sound on this setting. Tweak and Tweeze gives you variations to play with on the overall sound. Great pedal to experiment with--so enjoy the loopy madness!

    @spraddr I already figured it out, (see 2nd post above my 1rst) but thanks anyway. I bought the unit for looping, but this exercise has gotten me into exploring the delays more. Lots of fun. I think I'll need to get one of those EH Freeze pedals too, and the TC reverb sounds incredible too, but I already have acceptable reverb, so that'll wait.
