Building A Budget-Friendly Mayer Rig!

Музыка

We teamed up with the folks from Sweetwater to bring you this Mini Mayer Rig! For this rig, we’re aiming to build a compact rig using the Metro 16 by Pedaltrain, while staying true to the Mayer sound!
**Congratulations to Riccardo Bergomi in Milan, Italy for winning our John Mayer Pedalboard Giveaway in Collaboration with Sweetwater. We had over 17,000 people enter! Thank you to you all for participating and stay tuned for another pedalboard giveaway in the near future!**

    My suggestion: Micro Q tron-$95.80 Keeley tone workstation-$299.00 JRAD archer-$199.00 TC Alter Ego-$169.99 Boss TU-3-$99.99 Final Cost $863.78 Masons suggestion: Vertex steel string-$199.99 JRAD archer-$199.00 Ibanez TS-Mini-$79.99 Xotic EP boost-$120.00 Ibanez analog delay mini-$119.99 Boss TU-3-$99.99 Final cost $818.96 Cost difference-$44.82 more for my suggestion Some additional points: - For an extra $45 you get much closer to the overdrives and boosts John Mayer actually uses, as the Tone workstation was based on John Mayer’s tonal needs and includes a comp as well as a bluesbreaker/katana boost that are excluded in Masons board, yet are much more central to Mayer’s tone than a Dumble OD and certainly an EP boost which I’m pretty sure he doesn’t really use often/at all. - Moreover, Mayer has used analog delays, tape delays, and digital tape delay emulations, so digital tape echo emulation pedal, would be a much better alternative as it can handle much more of the delay tones of John Mayer. - My suggestion includes an envelope filter which John Mayer is famous for using. - As a final point, if use the same power supply as Mason does in this video (Truetone CS6) you can always one more pedal, as my board concept leaves one free adapter for one more pedal. You can add a wah pedal, Dumble style OD, Boss BD-2 or octave fuzz of your choice to include one of his less frequently used effects.

    Ben, I think you make some good points here. A few things to remember, it needed to fit on a Metro 16. You suggestions are larger pedals, this would be problematic to sell the "mini rig" concept of the giveaway pedalboard, nor would they fit with this board platform. Secondly, this giveaway was sponsored by Sweetwater and done in collaboration with them, meaning we had to use pedals that were in stock and available through Sweetwater. I don't see the Keeley Workstation, Alter Ego, or the Micro Q Tron in their inventory or in stock. I think there a lot of way to "Skin The Mayer Cat", I tend to go for more of the Continuum era stuff, and Trio era since that's more of the iconic tone to my ears. These were much more scaled back rigs compared to what's being used now, and pre-dates the use of the filter effects, or any compressor use. In any case, I appreciate your feedback, and certainly if the only criteria was getting there at the lowest cost there would be lot of pivot options to make, differently from what I did with Sweetwater.

    Great build! When I use dual lock it always comes off of either the board or the pedal if I try to remove a pedal. Once it comes off it will not stick again. Doesn't seem to matter if I just put the tape on or if it's been on for months.

  • @VertexEffectsInc

    @VertexEffectsInc

    3 жыл бұрын

    If it’s coming off it’s for two reasons, first reason is you didn’t clean the surface before you applied to dual lock. Second reason would be, it’s supposed to remain sedentary for about 12 to 24 hours before you really start pulling things on and off, almost like a curing of the adhesive. If I follow those steps I’ve yet to have a problem in over a decade

    It's not a universal thing on all Boss pedals, and I'm attempting to generalize this technique no matter the Boss pedal. Many of the Boss pedals won't allow this because the mezzanine board with the pots push the main board right to the edge of the enclosure, where the tuners don't have any pots to deal with so there is more space inside.
