"My other pedalboard, that I tour with, is twice the size of this. To bring that on a plane is just not practical. This has everything I use - the bigger one just has a few extra toys to play with! The main source of my sound is pretty much my PRS amp, the overdrive comes from the second channel. Everything else just adds to the original tone."

Soulful player, humble guy - my favourite kind of guitarist!
Agreed, captian
Much like yourself Captain!
Have the pleasure of having him as a teacher !! Very cool guy :)
Ahoy Captain! Would you ever practically carry your guitar like that mate or were you just posing for the photo?
I never heard of this guy before. But I instantly ordered me a sl drive :D
that waterfall pedal sounds insane!
yes! didn't know the brand but whaou!
Talented , likeable & full of guitar chops ! Gotta respect Simon McBride !!!
What a nice fella he is and a great player! I'l bet Xotic are pleased with this demo, he endorses their products, i'm guessing.... But man that SL drive sounds insanely good!
Very nice. I Love The Jam Pedals. That Retro Vibe, is possibly: the Most Authentic Sounding Univibe I have heard. What Throb . . . Wow ! - and that Waterfall Chorus was very CE-1-like. Love the pedal choices, great tone & awesome playing. Enjoyed it.
Great tone, great touch, great gear. Loved it!
this guy can play!
Xotic, Jam Pedals and Strymon - nice stuff. Great pedal choices.
That SL Drive sounds great to me. Really boosts the bottom end. Damn. Now I need one.
Steve Lightfoot I agree, those Xotic pedals are really excellent.
Pick up the golden plexi by tone city. Cheaper and it blew my wampler plexi drive off the board ! Wtf! £39
Alright. Good shout guys - I'll do that. Always a fan of trying cheaper gear that still sounds killer.
Badass player
Lovely guy, amazing player, great demo. Cool and funny and no guitar face! Fab demo, Simon.
Mick Sharp lol
Stole so many riffs from this, thanks 😎 great player
Great review, thanks! And that Hendix tone is amazing, I never knew that the tremolo is so important for that sound!
...great vid' Guy's! ...formidable Player!
This Guy plays really well!!!
damn this dudes playing is sickkk
Nice full and round overdriven sound
Lovely lead tone! Quite Bonamassa-esque actually with a PRS...
He opened for Bonamassa (among others) for a while, actually. :)
That sounds great!! Great demo!
strymon is an orgasmic brand! but i wish i could play like simon!!!
Dig this guy.....great player "down to the river yeah"....great devices...wish I had that setup..
I think DAT TONE! Is in his fucking hands! Amazing player!
Simon, the particular reverb u use on the Strymon is very,very nice, may I ask which setting one u are using? The Flynt sounds fantastic but I never need tremolo, I wonder if their blue sky or other pedals have a similar reverb, or a smaller pedal like an HOF or whatever.. is that a spring,room,plate?.. it's realllly sweet.
well done,than u kindly for sharing.I'm sure tons of players will appreciate this!
The Octave pedal in the LOOP before reverb? Have to try that - sounds huge.
I find his style to be much like Joe Bonamassa'.. Haven't heard much from this guy, but i like i a lot!
noddle over the blues scale. ....Alot like Joe B.
Yeah, he just became another favorite of mine :)
I'd say he's a lot better than Bonamassa
This guy sounds great! thumbs up pedalboard demo. But i hear alot of Steve lukather in his digs... No problem there, keep on pickin!
woooow great !!!
Fantastic Tone. Is that a prs 408?
This guy is a great player.
Great player. Great toys...
What's that Univibe with the flower on it?? :)
The Mobius's global settings lead you to the questions. The Mobius's owner's manual leads you to the answers.
+J Johnson have you ever sought out a classic Van Halen phaser sound with it? I can't seem to find it no matter what mode/params I try - it never sounds sweet or transparent enough. I run it through the loop though... maybe straight in front is the secret?
The opening song is from dave walimman show. O.O
I've met Simon at a few PRS events, he's a lovely fella, really down to earth.. can't half play as well! I guess you'd have to be to be Paul Reed Smith's 'Demo Guy' when he's in the UK.
what guitar is that? nice playing, killer board thanks for sharing.
What model PRS is he playing?
hello!!! What's the of Simon's shoes??? I want tha same model to play through pe pedalboard????
OOoooo! I'm liking that Vahlbruch Octavia. …I found it (Google). $200 and it's in Germany… Damn.
+Amps for Buddha They'll ship to the US.
+Amps for Buddha Maybe I'm stupid but, the only thing I heard coming out of that pedal was fuzz. No octave at all.
+Keven Klayne 6:09 he backs off on the gain, which was overpowering the octave effect. You hear more of the effect in the upper register anyway.
+pedalguru89 You're right, I didn't watch the whole thing.
+Amps for Buddha a nice alternative is a Earthquaker Devices Hoof Reaper. It's a Muff + Tone Bender + an Octave in between - all switchable independently. The only fuzz you'll ever need...maybe
Gran bel suono …
This guy plays and sounds like he's Bonamassa's brother
What kind of guitar is that and what pickups are in it?? Sounds great.. btw, killer chops!
Blues Harp It's a PRS 408 hollowbody, looks like normal 408 pickups :)
I love that subtle bell tone well he rolls the volume back a bit to get that hendrix tone. Is that tone from the pedal, the PRS or just the way he's playing? I'm a beginner guitar player so I can't really tell.
It's a combination of the neck pickup in single coil mode, the overdrive, and the fact that he's cleaned it up a bit by rolling back the volume knob. Suuuper nice gear too.
combatRidders i would pay ten grand for those magic fingers
+Chinchillupa Guy PRS are especially good at the "roll back the volume" feature - nearly unlimited tones if you have the patience to explore. You can do it with nearly any guitar though (and a good tube amp). There's a resister and capacitor combination called a "treble bleed" that you solder to the volume pot. Give it a Google.
intrsoul thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely check it out man!
The slippers are where it's at
Such Gary Moore style playing ....nice
GREAT PLAYER AND DOESN'T OVER USE THE PEDALS.
he's from northern Ireland!!!!😄😄
Gran Suono!
that uni vibe sounds SICK. what is the company again?
THANKS
Jam Pedals from Greece. UnReal Univibe.
great stuff, does anybody know the pedal order? eg is the sl drive at the beginning?
ali k Looks like the compressor is first. But his setup seems straightforward with the SL after and the effects through the boost in the front of the amp. Sounds great, but that amp's overdrive is setting up the tone so well.
Does anyone know what the board is? I am looking at innox boards as they are a much cheaper alternative to the pedaltrain boards. I am trying to find innox boards on youtube and this video is what the search brings up.
Buy a rockboard, still cheaper than Pedaltrain but with way better quality, especially the bag is a lot better.
+Teun Music Productions Thanks. I will have a look at them.
ye...
I know he is not from the US,but he has a weirdly American sounding accent...
Odd, he's from Northern Ireland. Not quite yankie :)
hes an alien: 0
A lot of American accents are likely derived from Irish accents, since so many of them emigrated during the Potato famine in the 1800s.
your playing didnt sound irish? weird. I like it
another great blues-man from the land of Rory Gallagher.
The tone itself is a bit gainy and chewy for my taste, but I love his playing.
u know, or something, u know
I think now after being over 60 years a rock guitar player... u dont need most of that stuff NOT! Do u agree?
I wish this guy would sound more confident about what he likes - it's like he feels slightly awkward about every
sound he uses - or as if what he likes isn't that special, ... Yup he's sorry about everything he does and scared that someone's gonna slap him in the face for his choice of sounds
Daniel MacFarlane it's called humility
@Daniel-Ever been out of the US?
He's from NI. We're modest! Most world class talents boast. We don't.
Great run-thru and loads of good info - but this dude is so affected, seemed like he was acting the whole time.
He's a grown-up, be confident to be yourself.
People that act like this in videos, I tend to believe what they are saying, simply because they don't act all over-confident. And I actually don't see what you are pointing at. Maybe because people tell me I come over like this as well - especially when talking about stuff I really know.
