Thanks for this awesome video dude! Also nice playing. And that Strat is just deliciously beautiful!

This show might be my favorite tone ever. Great job

One of my favorites as well, thanks

You really got a beautiful tone here! The gain-y tones are kind of easy, it just comes from the pedal, but the hardest part is getting that gorgeous, warm, fat, round clean amp tone that serves as the base of everything. And I must say you achieved that in spades!! Well done!! I actually used to have a Blues Deluxe but as my high school rock band back in the day kept getting louder and louder on stage, the Blues Deluxe just couldn't keep up anymore, so I sold the amp and upgraded to the Blues DeVille 4x10. Now that thing is a MONSTER!!

Thanks Josh! I can only imagine.what kind of beast the DeVille is. Can you even use that thing in a home setting?

Love the video! I Run 50's Mex Start into a Blues Jr with a Lenny & Ep Booster (cut micro switch for bass and treble) and it's magical. Can't wait to try the blues crab.

You did well. I have been chasing the Mayer tone for a long time. I have a Silver sky, dumble clone amp and some pedals. Sounds great and you have gotten really close. I'd say 70% of the tone is trying to capture the nuances in his playing. That gets super close but it's fun to chase.

What dumble clone do you have?

@Impractical_Engineer

@@maxmarchetti6562 The dumble clone I got was the VHT D-Fifty with a D'Lator type pedal running in the effects loop. I can push the amp pretty hard with moderate volumes for bedroom and still gets the nice mushy but bright amp sag. With the Silver sky you need a boost to get the sound close with the volume rolled off Suprisingly I can get pretty close with my PRS MT15 on the clean channel and a Joyo Taichi pedal. But doesn't have the 3d effect as the VHT does.

Thats awesome!

Spot on brother - both tone, the pedals you have used (and how you have used them). The Mooer Blues Crab is a ridiculously good pedal - I have A/B it with an original BB1 I used to own ... and ... sold the BB1! For that Continuum Gravity/Slow dancing tone, a BB1 (or clone like the Blues Crab) is what is at ... as you have clearly demonstrated in your video.

I knew the blues crab was great but its awesome to hear that it holds up 1v1 against the blues breaker. One of my overall favorite pedals - wish Mayer didn't drop it from his rig

awesome video! where do you usually set your volume on your amp for the mayer tone?

@maxmarchetti6562

2 жыл бұрын

I usually have it between 2 and 2.5. I'd say the louder the better while still clean, but for the videos I'm constrained to bedroom-ish levels

No mention of Keeley mod Blues Driver, which I'm fairly certain he used in most of the Trio album. I think TS into BD-2 was the core of the 'Who Did You Think I Was' tone, for example. Did he drop it completely in Where the Light Is?

@maxmarchetti6562

I agree Keeley modded BD2 was the main OD2 for the trio and he did use a bit on the continuum tour but I can't find anywhere 100% saying he used It for the where the light is concert (but I do know he used the BB for a fact)

If money was of no concern would you go Princeton reverb reissue, or still stick with the Hot Rod? Which one is better for apartment playing? Great video!

@maxmarchetti6562

For apartment volumes I think Princeton is the way to go (12 watts vs 40 watts in HRD). Aside from that its a tough call but I would stay with HRD because overall its more versatile

Also HRD does have something in the mids that you can't quite dial out so it'll never pull off that blackface tone completely if that's what you're going for

I also have the ibanez mini delay . Great pedal . How is your settings on the ibanez ? The small nobs ? ☺️

@maxmarchetti6562

It really is a great delay especially considering the cost. For the repeats, I have the knob almost all the way down which just does 1 repeat, and for blend I keep it low, around 30-40%. Also though keep in mind pot tolerances do vary so what is 30% for me could be 25% - 35% for you.

I have silver sky se, fender Princeton, blues crab, ts9, what’s should be my next pedal? Clean boost or delay?

@maxmarchetti6562

Жыл бұрын

Id say it depends on if you play live or not - for live I think the clean boost is a useful tool but if not then the delay is definitely more versatile. Also if you're just at home its easy to replicate the boost with any OD pedals's volume turned up to boost into the amp.

MAX, check out the new JHS screamer STRONG MOD, the strong mod has asymmetrical clipping which is very dynamic picking very sensitive its a major plus to the tube screamer. Make a video lesson about it

Definitely, you can for sure get the Mayer tone with one of those amps. Even alonee they would get you very very close, the steel singer will put you right there tho with the amp. Then the morning glory is a great BB clone
