That pedalboard is Pristine. (I thought mine was neat & clean) "Wow" = even the little Ojai mounted underneath the riser. That's the Holy Trinity of Tone and the Holy Trinity of Strymon. Some monster effects right-there. Where can I hear it ?
Wendy is an amazing, very underrated guitar player, but I wonder if you got to ask her about Prince's 80's stuff. There are sooo many "urban legends" about his rig, about Gilmour changing his rig around 1985 because he loved Prince's tone so much, about him running an SD-1 into a clean SLO 100 for the Purple Rain solo etc.
I thought my pedal board was a complex and beautiful thing. I believe you just upped the Annie a whole lot. Whoever designed your pedal board the flip top and whoever installed your pedals is a genius a mad genius
Beautiful rig!!! I really need to get handy with a soldering iron. Neat, custom made patch cables alone would be worth it, but i really want to be able to have a buffered interface box like that, but i want to create one for wet/dry/wet.
I have 2 H9’s and a H90 on order!! That’s gonna be amazing!! So almost anything will be possible just between those 3!!! Just saying I like pedals too!!
Check out that Brownface amp. I’d happily get rid of all pedals except for my Cali76 compressor and my Motherload distortion to play through that amp, with the gain set very low on the Motherload. The Brownface amps sound great clean and dirty. It’s Tweed meets Blackface.
Dude just needs a loop switcher to have the option to move some of those strymon fx into the dry amp . Also that tuner split out of volume pedal is suspect.
This setup is really great! Wonderful work! I’m seeing the Deco and compressor “under the hood” and I’m guessing that these are mostly “always on” pedals, is that correct? Just going thru how each unit runs signal to the next answers so many questions-if you take the time to listen. The Revolution was such a cool band and Wendy with those purple Rickenbackers added so much to the music and the performance vibe! I kind of rediscovered Wendy’s playing when I was watching a round table clip of great session players discussing some of their favourite examples of tone and playing in the studio and “Favourite Mistake” came up as an example. These players were just gushing over Wendy’s guitar part and it reminded me of when I started playing guitar and someone suggested that I listen to other players on my favourite records. The first two I really sat down and studied were “Papa Was A Rollin Stone” and “(I Know)I’m losing you by the Temptations . If you get aquatinted with these two tunes, and Wendy Melvoin’s “Purple Rain” and “Favourite Mistake” guitar parts, you have a huge set of playing techniques at your disposal, almost a master class in ensemble guitar playing. They are all essential to a song’s existence. ❤
Why would you have the tuner after all the boost and tone coloring effects? Tuner needs to go first so you can hit it at any time and the incoming notes will be clean.
Yo Mason - beautiful build mate, and Wendy is a dead set legend - her work is pure gold no matter what record you pick. But her stuff with Sheryl - good lord - some of the best rhythm guitar parts in recorded history. My Q ! = is it possible to use the tuner out without getting tone suck as long as your doing the vertex boost exp trick? And is this with boss fvl also?
thats a Ernie Ball volume pedal. I know the tuner out on a vpjr is an unbuffered split. I can't imagine the rig doctor using that tuner out if its going to suck tone
The volume pedal is used as an EXP for the Vertex Boost, so there's no parallel loading because the Boost insert is all buffered on the send and return and can drive the tuner no problem. If the volume pedal were passive and in series, the parallel load would be an issue.
It's buffers and your patch bay (hub) for all the inputs and output from and to your pedalboard. Could also be used for FX Loop amps, wet/dry, wet/dry/wet, mono, stereo, etc. Gives you all possible configurations in one box without having to move around cables.
The split at the volume pedal loses half the signal correct? Can a buffer add lost high frequencies? Just got the VPJR and wondering if this is possible and why? I’m an engineer and like to know the science!
Split at the volume pedal? You mean using a tuner out or paralleling the output? Ideally with any passive volume pedal you have a low impedance signal hitting the input by way of a quality buffer or pedals with low output impedances being "on" before the volume pedal. I don't recommend using the tuner out of the volume pedal as the parallel load is an issue unless you have have quality buffer. I also think if you use the volume pedal later down in the chain you want a low impedance volume pedal 25K instead of a 250K. On this rig, the volume pedal is mono and after the overdrive and distortion pedals, but before the delay, reverb, and modulation. There's no "splitting" occurring by way of the volume pedal.
@@VertexEffectsInc Thanks for the fast reply! Good for thought! I am coming straight out a Mesa Mark 35 XLR to the volume pedal then delay/reverb. Overdrives straight to amp. I’ll have to see what the XLR is putting out, so you happen to know acceptable values going into the volume pedal (Voltage/Amp/Resistance)? That way I can get a buffer if needed. Thanks for your help! I’ve never been able to afford pedals until now and I’m doing quite a bit of learning. Thanks again!
@@coreywelborn8760 Typically you wouldn't send the Cab Clone XLR out to the VP and the Delay processing as it will only control the volume of that path and not have any impact on the the amp volume. Plus you're basically giving a mic'd cab signal to your delay and reverb which is okay if your pedal can take it without clipping, but you may need a mic pre or something to knock it down better for pedal level (-20db) to that the pedal operate optimally. I would get a low impedance volume pedal and put it in the FX Loop of the Mark V:35 and figure out a way to convert the balanced XLR out to unbalanced and get the level right for the delay/reverb. Typically a balanced XLR output like this would be maybe 600 ohms if made to standard, but that's not necessarily what it is.
@@VertexEffectsInc Thanks for being so responsive! Yeah, I live in an apartment and this amp has a speaker on/off switch. I leave the speaker off and don’t use the effects loop to use stereo effects from the XLR. XLR goes into a XLR to 1/4 instrument cable adapter into VPJR. I will lookup how to measure the impedance at the adapter and see where I am! Not sure if there is a better way, but this is what I can up with so far! Hopefully I’m not blowing my pedals up! Is there a limit you know of? Last question I promise 😂
@@coreywelborn8760 I know the amp, and I know the Cab Clone which is built into this Mark V series amps. This doesn't change the fact that it's coming in mic level to a guitar pedal even with your adapter. The Volume Pedal could help attenuate some I suppose, but not an ideal way to do it and should definitely be a low impedance VP. Again your pedals probably don't want to see mic level. Also your VP would be better in the FX LOOP because as of now you're only able to control volume for the delay and reverb. You might consider using a Line Out Box on the amp that feeds your delay and reverb and then use the Cab Clone for the Dry Amp (still using the VP in the FX Loop). You would use three channels in your DAW. Dry for the Cab Clone, Wet L and Wet R for what the Line out Box would feed presuming you have stereo delays/reverbs.
With the effects bypass, if done right, will have not difference to a 10ft cable plugged into the amp. This allows you to do either without compromise.
Why mix strymon with Eventide. Could’ve gotten another H9 their reverbs, delays and pitch effects are unequivocal !! They’re basically copying the Early Eventide stomp boxes..
The chances are slim with quality cables. I am aan audio engineer for a prominent musician that has consistently toured since the 90’s, he plays shows weekly in Nashville and I can only recall 1 cable ever giving up and the guitar tech came out had the cable isolated/replaced in less than a minute. He used a multimeter, it was very impressive. Wendy has a 💩 load of experience and has a great crew, I am sure they could resolve it pretty quickly. Being a guitar tech is a lot more involved than people think. These guys not only maintain the guitars but they maintain, setup, and repair the amps/effects as well and to be a true professional guitar tech, you must be able to quickly diagnose issues and resolve them even quicker.
It’s a buffered volume pedal, you can use the tuner out. If you’re using an active (buffered) volume pedal as the buffer (Vertex Boost MKII in this case) connected to the volume as an EXP.
Pedalboard culture is ruining guitar. Y’all in so many peoples heads literally making no music or anything heart felt and real - just selling products and aesthetic as the project. It’s like buying an exotic car to look like a race car driver. Guitar has transformed into a midi keyboard and everything is edited and quantized until it sounds perfectly like nothing at all and all the same. Boring af.
How are you getting all this from the pedalboard? Did you forget about the 80's and rack gear? This has been going on for a long time. Also, food for though, Hendrix, in the late 60's was using 1) Wah, 2) Fuzz Face, 3) Octavia, and 4) UniVibe when there were only about 10 total pedals in existence, i.e. 40% of the pedals available in his day. That would be like using a pedalboard with 500 pedals today. I'm sure musicians from the 1940's and 1950's said the same thing about electric guitar and rock music (like Hendrix) bastardizing music too. Can't both be good? Can't there be uses for both?
@@VertexEffectsInc lmao Hendrix was using the equivalent to 500 pedals I used the word culture and you ask how I made my opinion from one video. To be fair, it’s been a long time coming annoyance and your video prob just pushed me over the edge bc it’s so absurd and obviously thirsty. I didn’t say using pedals at all was a problem - I said pedalboard culture. This business of UA-cam and Instagram clicks and content based on selling new gear to solve all of your problems while posing as art and creativity. That shit has screwed up and stressed out so many friends of mine. People editing clips together to look pro when they’re very mid. It’s similar to how Instagram makes girls depressed and have low self esteem - except this is mostly dude guitarists. You’re selling products yet invoking the spirit of Hendrix to appear artistically pure. That’s pretty much the entire point.
@@S0UNDC1TY laugh all you want, but in his day, by your definition, he would have been considered a contributor to the erosion of guitar by way of using a high percentage of the available pedals. Somehow you made the leap from pedalboards, to MIDI (which the pedalboard doesn't use) to quantizing (where there's no studio recording in the video, click track, or grid to even quantize to). You say it's obviously "thirsty", but for what? What's the video indirectly saying or asking for from the viewer? Can't it just be a pedalboard walk through? The titling says exactly what it is you're going to see, and doesn't underpromise on what it states, does it? I feel like there's a disconnect between what you're trying to protect and what the video is presenting - if someone is stressed out by watching UA-cam videos, they shouldn't watch them - or find someone they trust and stick with one teacher. If you care to view the videos we have on this channel I think you'll see we do mostly enrichment and very little on the sales and marketing side. Lots of DIY video, lot's of tech concepts, etc. Seem like your projecting something to this video that's simply not there.
If you just take the statement "pedalboard culture is ruining guitar" id almost understand or even agree. But your reasoning is absolutely terrible, and shows that you really dont even know what most of these pedals do or how they work. I agree that there is way too much focus on brands and having the "right" pedals, or having perfect seamless rigs, rather than how theyre used, or the playing itself. But saying that "guitar has transformed into a midi keyboard and everything is edited and quantized..." because of pedals is incredibly ignorant at best, or an outright lie at worst. Edit: Also at the end of the day, this is a channel that focuses on building pedalboards. To be appalled at video of a pedalboard on the channel is pretty silly.
Jesus christ. This is the most incredible board I've ever seen.
Thanks Jarrod!!
Its for nerds 😆
It's so worshipy that it has you saying the name of Jesus. 😂
That board is at least $10k. Probably more. Crazy.

Stunning, Mason. Question though- Didn't you say it's not advisable to connect the tuner to the tuner out as it affects the signal later in the chain?
Yes, that's correct, but it's all buffered through the Vertex Boost so there is no parallel loading of consequence.
Immaculate pedalboard. Just gave up the guitar, watching UA-cam, and typing.
The only thing that would make that rig cooler, is if Prince himself, gave her that Klon! Super dope rig!!!
