    That wiring is GLORIOUS. At the risk of speaking for all guitar players, we are nothing if not a fickle bunch. I am CONSTANTLY swapping pedals in and out-even if they don’t “look right”. If it fits, it ships. Barry and Eric allow me this luxury by leaving ample room in the wiring for me to swap a side jack pedal for one with top jacks and vice versa. It doesn’t even matter where on the box the power jack is; there is enough slack to make it happen (and much of that slack is hidden under the pedal where possible).
    For working guys who have more pitiful commitment issues to stomp boxes than the average person trying to stick to a fad diet, this is immensely helpful. The point of my board isn’t to look aesthetically pleasing; it’s to do my job and switch up sounds (and pedals if needed) as quickly and painlessly as possible.

    I was an engineer at Sound Stage Studios and Dan would be on all sorts of sessions there. I think he had 3 separate cartage setups they'd place at each studio he was going to that day. He'd come in, play his parts and head to the next studio. I'm not a guitar player but it was amazing watching him work.

    I think this board is fascinating - I'm a huge ParaEQ fan so that's very validating but the fact he's still using an M9 despite all the options out there really speaks to how well that unit has held up and how important it is to know your gear rather than chase the shiny new toy

    Hey Barry! Candyman is one of my favorite album too (Mine is labeled as Lukather not Los Lobotomys). When taking about Luke people always mention Toto and his session work but his solo albums are just amazing. Songs from Candyman like Never Walk Alone and the song he wrote for Jeff Porcaro are some of his finest guitar solo ever!!

    I like the blurb about your love of Dann's playing and interest in electronics as a youth. Short of getting a degree in electrical engineering, what books or resources do you recommend for people getting into electronics? Been reading Forrest Mimms's Getting Starting in Electronics. Super accessible and heard it's a classic. Cheers!

    • @xacttone
      @xacttone  2 місяці тому

      Mimms is awesome. That’s what I read as a kid. If you’re looking into stomp box electronics, Brian Wampler has made a bunch of resources. If you are looking for a more general dive, check out The Art of Electronics (Horowitz & Hill). Dr. Marshall Leach has lots of good resources on his pages at gatech.edu.

      Those are both great pedals. I was telling Dann that I think this will be great for overdubs because it’s a pedal that is going to be easy to find a spot in the mix.

    You know, for the longest time I thought there was a connection between Christian rock band David and the Giants and Giant because these are Huffs from the Nashville/Brentwood area. (I'm a Huff also, by the way. No relation). But as it turns out this is just a coincidence. I'm a little bummed but also amazed!

      It's added slack so you can replace pedals over time, since they come in a lotta sizes and have different jack locations. As far as slack goes, its organized well imo

      You clearly don’t have a high quality pedal board. That is super neat, and the extra slack allows us to swap out pedals. Why you feel the need to critique something you really don’t understand. The wiring the did for me, is spot on, and the board is quiet. It wasn’t that way when I brought the pedals to them to set up.
