- Billy Duffy is one of the founding members of the extremely influential band The Cult. He and singer Ian Astbury have been in the band since 1983. Billy discusses the early days of the band and how he discovered his signature sound. According to him, BOSS pedals have been part of his sound for over 30 years. Find out which pedal he's talking about.
Billy hits the nail on the head here: Boss pedals are reliable, affordable and easy to repair/get parts for. It's all well and good having a pedal built by some 'boutique' company in a shed in Mordor, but the moment something goes wrong, they are always a pain to fix, and often cost a lot more in the first place.
Good interview
The camera is really irritatingly going everywhere except on billy
Billy, FANTASTIC but I do wish you had played that guitar !
This guy made the 80s bearable for me.
I always liked and used boss pedals. They deliver a great tone and don't cost too much!
Billy, you rule!
Not as such, I think he just showed him a few chords very early on as they've been mates since they were at school. They both went on to develop their own unique styles and became guitar heroes.
still got that Manc accent Billy :)
funny, Billy almost looks like Gordon Ramsay now a days.
Boss pedals are not very thin if you turn them up to 11. Boss Ce2 reliable and available.
What Beautiful Hands Billy.......
Wow, who would believe he uses the thin sounding Super Overdrive? Fascinating.
love the super overdrive,and the jc120 was part of my sound with the marshall jcm800 in stereo.chorus absolutely rules,anyone who doesn't like it has no idea how to dial it in.dont over do it and make it sound stupidly over done.
all Boss OD/Distortion pedals sound thin.
The one he is speaking about was probably the OD-1 and not the SD-1 because that model replaced the original one. Find a good used OD-1 and play with it it is far superior to the SD-1.
He taught Johnny Marr for ages!
Nice interview. Saw the Cult with Billy playing the White Falcon in 1984 when I was a student. Great gig. What he didn't mention is that you can't actually kill Boss pedals ... you can do everything that Top Gear did to the Toyota Hilux and they won't die ... hence good for live work.
bubbanderson ...now I see why my hubby really wants one of these...thanks for this vid.happy to see Billy still playing on...
What do you do when you change your sounds on the boss pedal (quickly) as opposed to DigiTech where you can have presets?
I guess he's old school
CooL KooL to find*out
was the camera person drunk? ffs
next time ...use a tripod!! this is BILLY DUFFY ;-)
Doing well there, though he looks like McGyver's older brother
The Cult F'ing rules!!
oh i guess both teach and learn each other.....
GORDON RAMSEY
funny, i think boss OD pedals sound TERRIBLE :D but to each to their own...i just find if funny.
+keeelane Tell that to Michael Schenker.
sparkymoo
i would if i met him and it came up.
once you get your skill up to this level you find out how to use the tools of the trade,
bedroom guitar players mainly spend most of their time tone hunting and looking for
shortcuts to sound like their idols.
what its really about is learning to use what you have and make it sound great,
then you can make anything sound good because you've taken the hunt for tone
out of your gear and put it into yourself.
i played a boss turbo distortion for many ,many years and still use a boss super overdrive.
gotta love the ibanez 9 series of pedals too,i swear by them as well.
you bought into the helix b/s.hope your not busy for about 3 yrs.these all in one units are trash.
still have my original boss delays,overdrives from the 80's.ibanez are even better units,especially the entire 9 series.treat your gear right and it will last forever,i agree with the electro harmonix,theyre shit.
Turn your pedal up and your guitar down slowly to find the sweet spot !!
When Englishmen want to live in California but still hail England... I never got it.
johny mars had influenced him;;;;;;
LOL, I didn`t think it took so long for this chump to find his "signature" sound. My 12 year old nephew has a better sound!! Mind you, he has talent.
***** ...lol, are you stupid? He is 12 years old, like you. hahahahahahaha
