    I can't believe that i have his signature after concert in Poland. Such a seemingly trifle fills my life with powerful inspiration. When you devote your life to music, such things are very important to you. It doesn't matter what your guitar or effects pedals are, just play, just merge with the instrument. Just feel these things by your mind and soul.

      Maybe too late but the green pedal is the Catalinbread Pareidolia. He also has a Catalinbread Germanium Karma Suture (pink), EHX Big Muff, Cornell fuzz, Carlin compressor/fuzz, Skreddy Echo, Danelectro Back Talk, Boss Rocker Volume, EHX Nano Holy Grail, Xotic EP Booster, TC Polytune and some kind of wah.

    • @simonr7097
      @simonr7097 6 років тому

      The Boss pedal is just a volume pedal, used here to do swells. You will get the same results with any volume pedal, or even just by using the volume pot on your guitar. I think the critical component for the tone we hear is the red compressor/fuzz pedal (a big muff will get you close), followed by a healthy dose of delay and reverb.

    Try the humble old Boss ME50. I just can't kick mine off my board. Purely for the reverse delay and exp pedal controlled ring mod and pitch shifting (the modulated reverb is interesting too) . Current second hand pricing is WAY cheaper than the danelectro. Obviously it is surrounded by other pedals to cover the things it isn't so good at.
