maybe i’m the only one who thinks this, but john wasn’t really playing it at the right tempo starting off. i think steve was trying to get him into the right direction. if you go back and listen to it, john was a bit sluggish at the start. either way they sounded great
Probably because they haven't played together since 2017 (except some rehearsels) and this being the first live show and first song, you just have to get into it again. Can imagine they also didnt rehearse to much, since its just one show, and they have busy schedules... shows even JM is still human ha ;)
@@tekstephens this. Steve knows, he brought it to the right tempo, it wasnt cooking till he lit the fire. Thats the drummers job, and hes maybe the only one who can light that fire under John
Yo Justin could you do a breakdown of John's pedalboard at the 2010 Crossroads Festival? His tone there was absolutely incredible and I've been dying to know what he used. I really hope u find some time to do it!!!
Wish I could have taken better photos/videos! The lighting was so odd in the room, great for the performance but horrible for photos - especially from the balcony!
another great video! Agree the AP Mk 1 and Mk 2 have a slightly different sound, but he can eq his rig different to compensate. Interesting he is using the Mk 2 on this rig tho!
> let me know in the comments if you have another theory for the looper It could be the case of trying to avoid the popping sound from an "old/first-gen" true bypass switch.
I’m curious if you think Mayer always puts his univibe after his drive section. You mentioned these amps aren’t set clean so maybe that’s why it’s closer to the end? I always wondered where the univibe is in his chain on WTLI.

Great breakdown! TS-K-TS is a flex 😂
love this format. I gained a lot of insight through your channel over the past 18 months. Massiv thank you
Running 2 tubescreamers in series was an old SRV trick. Makes sense that John would follow this lineage for the Trio tone
I just wanna know why Steve Jordan pushed the tempo in WhoDidYouThinkIWas.
Yes it was very noticeable

I 100% agree with @Justin Garcia. JM started that song like he was still asleep! Stevie knows what tempo that song requires to light ‘‘em up!!
Justin, is that a fender Hendrix Olympic white reverse headstock strat? If it is, can you do a video about it

My guess is the keeley looper activates the TS10 + Klon at the same time
another great video!

Mk2 sounds beautiful IMO

^ The simplest solution is almost always the correct answer. I think you're right, simple enough, he just didn't want to deal with the popping.
Prudential NJ SOLO I saw an EVENTIDE H90
thank you

univibe is in the loop because of the univibe preamp which affects the direct sound.
The Fenders showed the shortcomings of the SS.
Which are?
@@scottmoreau5630 Sterile, harsh, metallic sounding
@@lightningstrikes7314 Was hoping your comment wasn’t going to go in that direction but thanks for posting.
@@scottmoreau5630 I'm not going in a 'direction', I've arrived at a destination.
Oof another Fender fanboy, here we go again...
Question…what brand of patch cables is he using on this pedalboard?? Thanks!
Do you happen to have setting for Mayer’s Black Appliance Mosfet OD?
Jon do you have an instagram or something I can send a photo to? This one is hard to explain
👍👍
