      @TheJayBee1990 8 років тому +156

      so true.... went to a gig this summer on a festival and helped out at a friends band. the lead guitarist was like.. I just use this amp (and that really was everything he used.. guitar, cable, amp). then I came like yeah I keep it simple as well... 8 pedal board, Boss ME25 for FX, additional tuner (yes the ME25 has a build in one but I dont like it), boost pedal to boost any sounds of mine, half stack amp with modification ... "simple" or like jim would say: "simple, you know"

    • @billyrouse4813
      @billyrouse4813 5 років тому +11

      For me it's a lot simpler. Guitar-wireless-BOSS GT-8-amp. Occasionally I'll run a second amp for a stereo rig, but not often. Most times it's direct to the board without an amp if I can do that.

    • @roymccune6876
      @roymccune6876 5 років тому +5

      My rig goes from guitar via rack mounted wireless reciver then into a tuner followed by a 31 band eq and out to a digitec wammy pedal and dunlop wah pedal and then into the amp. Then in the amps effect loop the rest of the rack shit first into my noise gate/compressor where its split channel A is clean and returns to the amp. Channel B goes thru a metal master pedal just bolted in the bottom of the rackbox then into a BBE sonic maximizer and finally returns to the amp. All power supplied and regulated by the rack mounted juice goose. Things get complicated when you are a tone junky. Lol.

    • @Alphaaussiegaming
      @Alphaaussiegaming 5 років тому +5

      When u think about it it really is simple it really is just guitar pedals amp yea he uses a switching board but that’s t make it easier that’s not really making things complicated yea the boards stacked but it’s still just pedals then amp jim really only uses the pedals for sepific uses unlike some guys I know who own them and have them on thier boards for the sake of having them like him wih the gtod it’s there if he needs it not there for no reason the three delays all have a purpose the phaser is for the solo on before I forget it’s all there for a reason not like most modern guitar players who have a bunch and they say yea it’s off most of the time jim is the simplest rig I’ve ever come across guitar cable pedals/switching system cable amp speaker cab no fx Processors no complicated signal path

      SomethinWild a lot of people who are a bit shy feel more comfortable if they can wear shades. And before you say "this guy goes on stage every night infront of loads of cameras and people" remember that that is a very different scenario. Not to mention while wearing a mask. Compared to being interviewed alone with a camera up in your face. For a lot of people shades help in those situations as a kind of "wall" infront of you and the camera / people.
