- In today's video, Paul from The Studio Rats is demoing his recording and video pedalboard.
On the board is a Boss ES5, Kingtone Duellist, UA MAX, UA DelVerb and a tonex pedal from IK Multimedia.
The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.
That Matchless I35 capture changed my life. Thank you!
OMG ! I just kranked up my pickup height to what you have on your black strat. And man everything just came alive and sounds so much better. Who would have known
Recently saw Foghat live and one of the telecasters was black and heavily road worn like your strat. Absolute rock and roll vibe.
Congratulations Paul! 🤟🏻🎸🔥
Fantastic pedalboard! Love your playing!I also have The Duellist and the Riverside both on my board and sometimes stack them to get different tones. Great pedals!The Strymon Riverside overdrive is relatively new for me ( I discovered it a couple of months ago) and it’s a great versatile overdrive tool.
Great video Paul, as always. Love the tones and good to see that pedal combination in detailed action. But for me, the best thing is that darned Strat. I know as soon as anyone uses the word ‘relic’ it sets the dogs barking but to me it looks absolutely gorgeous. Keep up the great work!
Dear Paul & the Studio Rats Team,
Your Tonex videos have inspired me to decide to build my own tonex recording pedalboard. I will use Tonex, Strymon Riverside Overdrive, Boss WAZA Chorus, UA Del Verb, Boss MS-3, Tuner....Well, I am a newbie...and is there a way I could get some advice how to connect all those things to eachother, so the pedal chain plan? Many thanx

Very practical and good sounding board, and that Strat is aces’, it’s a great guitar.
Hey Paul. Would you be open to getting hold of a second Tonex to try run stereo set up with different amps/effects either side? Noticing a lot of big worship players getting killer tones doing that!
I’ve got a small pedalboard just like yours and I’ve managed to fit in a boss md500 for modulation. I don’t use a switcher or a midi controller so I’ve got a DD200 and an RV200 with a riverside and a tuner. Also a fuzz muff pedal. It works really well for what I need it for.
You really should try the Neunaber Audio Illumine reverb it's amazing and midi controlled ,very easy to deal with with great sounding presets. It's reverb magic in a box using 2 switches. Get the boss off your board and get a GigRig G3S Atom to replace it. Dan makes the best switcher in the world period! He also is a very cool dude with awesome customer service. I just preordered mine for April 20204. Iv'e used a G2 for years now, no issues at all.
I love your warm clean tones Paul - it's like warm blanket on a cold day..!!!
Gotta get me the Tonex and I'm loving the UA Delverb.
Those strats are Awesome
Glad you like them
The pedalboard is nice BUT that Strat is fantastic.
Paul! - 🤠Great, but one major step missing for recording ...
Do the pedalboard outputs then go direct into your audio interface?
Hanging out to know this. Thanks 🙏
Killer small board. I would swap out the Duellist for a Protein, but other than that it’s perfect. I have almost all of those pedals on my board at home right now, and they’re all amazing.
A bit limited for live purposes but perfect for recording!
Can you make a video building a mini pedalboard using the Tonex and the Boss GT 1000 Core (you have one!), a small (or medium) midi foot controller, an expression pedal and 1 overdrive pedal?
I’d like to know what you would choose.
By the way, great video and amazing tones! Congrats!
This is limited to you? I’ve seen people sound great with even less.
I would love to see a combo like this as well. The ToneX, GT 1000 core and either ES-5 or 8 plus any extras.
@@maykolllopez1585 you can sound great with just 1 guitar straight to the amp, dude. Limitation doesn’t mean lack of quality (TONE).
Did you hear any flanger, phaser, filter or tremolo in the dry signal? The UAD verb can add some fx but in the reverb itself… the delay too.
So, as I said, for studio recording (where you can add FX in the post production) it’s perfect. But for some live situations (if the gig demands more different sounds) it’s limited.
The overall sound is great… as always.
Best regards!
Great tone!!! Sweet board. I am finally selling my Axe Fx3. Going to just go back to amps and pedalboard. Need to sell a few things.
Umm....all my UADFX pedals such as Golden or Starlight can all save patches via bluetooth app.....don't see why this pedal would be any different. Great sounding rig btw.
Paul, as always outstanding phrasing & technique. Your tone is inspiring. I'm a huge fan of your style, as well as others with that ANDY TIMMONS type attack & tone. I have the Boss RV-6 & many delays, but this sounds fantastic. Between this & the Kelley Halo, could you give me your thoughts on a pic one or the other. They both have. a very similar sound to them & wanted to know if you had a pro or cons towards either pedal. As always Inspiring & Emotion fell to your playing makes us all, aspire to be better ... Thank you
Always love your tone. That is one well used strat. I have the boss ms 3 on my amp pedal board. However currently I have been loving the Quad Cortex. That hurt to say being a tube amp snob.
Great sounding board Paul. Great progress on your new studio space, looks fantastic. I think the TC chorus pedal you and Drew demonstrated I. The past should live somewhere. Throne Eric Johnson used. Have a great night thanx. Tim
Cheers Mr T
Very cool video! I found out your channel a few weeks ago, and I really dig it! Interesting videos, cool presentation, cool sound! I just acquired a TONEX last week, didn't test it yet to be honest, but I will surely use it in a pedalboard. I wondered : do you use external D.I. at the output of the ToneX to connect to your soundcard or to a P.A.? because I read in the ToneX manual that it is advised to use DI for direct connections; I wonder why because with all my other preamps (LINE6 POD X3 PRO, HD500, AXE FX II, ..etc), I never used a DI for the direct connections, , as the outputs in the devices are built for that kind of usage.
Hi Val. It’s just to deal with long cable runs. Walrus audio do a great stereo di in their canvas range.
Heh... you always seem to have what I'm looking for. In this case, I'm specifically wondering if I should switch my rig out to a Tonex w/Delverb into the new Fender 12" FRFR cabinet. But in my case using a BOSS MS3 for switching other pedals in/out. Love the tones you are getting!
Hey Paul, great video and tone! I would like to ask you how do you connect your pedalboard to your audio interface? Do you use any DI Box or something like that? Regards
Great post my friend but it’s going to cost me 😩I need them UA.pedals in my life 😩😩👌👌👍👍
Really helpful. Thank you. I’m about to set up a Tonex One on my board. One question if I may? If you have the tonex before the reverb and then out, do you have to re-amp the signal before it hits the PA or can all reverbs and delays handle an amplified signal?
If you were to go jam with friends with no PA system, would you use this board and bring a monitor or powered cab? Or use an entirely different rig? Still new to this stuff lol
That’s a really good question. I would probably take either a different rig which would comprise of an amp and a small board or I’d take a powered FRFR cab with this rig.
Thank you for sharing. Your playing and tones are the best. So do you recommend Tonex over Boss GX100? Also, are you playing into your { sorry Mattress or is it Matchless 35 or direct into DAW? Cheers.....
the output level from the tonex pedal to the UA pedal is not to hot?
Hi, Paul, I'm your fan from Korea! I just want to ask you thee essential role of the BOSS ES-5 pedal and what makes it convenient to use. Hoping for a reply!
Nice vid. What pedalboard is that? Doesn't look like a pedaltrain....
amazing tones. I trying to buy a ToneX too, but here, in Brazil, it`s very difficult and expensive
Hi Paul, awesome explanation! im planning to get one ToneX to enjoy your presets pack. Could you please help me where the ToneX would sit better in my signal chain? So far according to my logic and your videos it would look like:
input -> tuner -> compressor -> booster -> OD/Distortion -> Eq -> Tonex -> modulation -> delay -> reverb -> output
Many thanks!
Exactly as you have it listed. Unless you prefer mod before your amp.
@@TheStudioRats thank you!
Great video Paul! Love your tone! The UA MAX Compressor is sounding very nice too! Would be great to hear your thoughts on compressor pedals, different pedal compressor types. Have you ever tried the Boss CP-1X Compressor? Radically different to any of Boss’s previous compressors, sounds incredible, multi band compressor - criminally underrated! I like it as much as the Cali76 and other similar Comps. Would be great to see some compressor pedal comparisons in future maybe?
Love the ToneX! Your captures are top notch!
- Gabe
Hey Paul - glad to see the Max pedal! I've tried a bunch of compressors and that is far above any of the others. Also added a Boss ES-8 recently. Great minds! The Del-Verb is tempting... if it had MIDI (I use a MIDI'd TC Plethora for that stuff).

Love the tone in the intro. What tones tone is it please?
A Tonex captiure from our Matchless pack.
Thanks for the video, Paul! Was wondering how the Max pedal sounded in your current setup. I’ve shamelessly copied it with a Tonex and Del-Verb already and have no regrets. Sounds killer!
Cheers Bogey, you can’t go wrong with those 2.
If I was to do this live what type of cable would I need from reverb pedal to front of house?
Can I know the name of that board?
I'm using rockboard tres 3.1 now and I want to make a pedalboard just like yours!
What input trim do you recommend?
Hi, great video as always! I do a lot of guitar playing at home and I mainly play through a Boss Katana 50 mk2. But to add a little bit of diversity in tones, I was wondering to buy a Tonex Pedal to go in the power amp in of the Boss Katana. I already have some effects pedals that I could use together with the Tonex Pedal, so I do not need the build in effects on the Katana. Would you think tis is a great solution for home playing, or is the Tonex pedal in combination with the power amp in Katana not a good match? Thanks!
It works great. Changing the speaker to American or British type based on your the amp profiles you incline to will sound better than the stock Katana speaker especially for dirty tones. Also, go for DI amp profiles.
Great tones Paul. Interested in your thoughts on how the Tonex compares with the AX3 and why you prefer it?
how is the toneX compare to Boss ir 200 ?
Thnaks
It’s a very different thing. Tonex captures the IR200 does not.
In a setup like this i just get so much hum. Just because of the single coils. Amp noise is fine depending on the gain, but the 60 cycle hum (which I guess it is) is just horrible. Any solution you use to avoid that or is there a gate on?
Paul, studio monitors, UA Ox etc, guitar speaker or DI from the tonex? Cheers.
Hi Paul, what do you have the input trim set to on the Tonex pedal?
The fact you don't switch off the Matchless patch, means that for all intents and purposes, the ToneX could be ... patchless.
Paul, do you leave the reverb effect switched on in the Tonex pedal profile when using the Delverb ?
Great tones BTW
No I don’t, the verb is off on tonex.
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
paul, your tone is so delicious it makes me actually cream
well let me go sell my car and I'll get back to you :)
Let me be very clear, nobody needs this much gear just to record. Do everything in the box. Most of these gadgets are digital anyway. These are for live musicians. Save your money and don't go into crazy debt.
I’m guessing you record at home. What if you need a travel rig.
I think if you can afford gear or not it’s up to you if it makes you happy crack on .my friend just bought i new BMW (very expensive) but he’s happy it’s much better than selling sorry buying crack .😩😩👍👍
@@TheStudioRats isn't a laptop lighter than a pedalboard? Btw I understand that you are sharing your rig and every person has their beloved workflow. I just made the comment because many ppl (including myself) idolize you for the talent and the sounds, and get caught up in the gear. Nothing against your workflow.
Everything in the box might work for you but not for the majority of people. Nobody needs any of this stuff. We enjoy it and the videos about it all 🙂
If a person goes into debt over pedals then they need help! This is an awesome video!
Paul that black strat looks like an old welders bench! .. sounds great though
I have all 3 channels of your matchless independence. All sound Absolutely awesome direct to the PA console get compliments from my sound guy and other guitarists
What about adding the Bluguitar amp 1 to the pedalboard? In 4cm? Ms3, Amp 1, ToneX, Would it make sense? I Bought the Quad cortex long ago but still Prefer the amp 1 Mercury edition channels with the Ms3 setup.. So with the ToneX pedal its looks to me very appealing
May I know your thoughts on the boss CP1x in case if you've tried it already?
Starts with a most excellent guitar....
gt1000 core or tonex?
Hey Paul! Do you ever use the steel string and ultraphonix that you used to have on your board?
Yes I do, they’re really good pedals.
