I was actively looking for an excuse to procrastinate in my office instead of working. Thank you and well done as always, JJ!

For me, its more about how the delay makes your playing feel than sound. That's probably why we have a hard time hearing it live, but John still engages it.

Justin, this is such a great idea to start making videos of. Much appreciated as well.

Thank you for the information! Can you do a similar video about his use of overdrives - the settings on each and the various ways he stacks them (TS10 > Klon, or vice versa) plus his addition of the third overdrive (Bluesbreaker, etc.).

Problem with overdrives is it gets really complicated. Not just the usual variance in pot values, but you add in the importance or pickup output (including heights), how hard or soft you pick, what gauge strings you use, what amp you're running into, how loud you're playing and even what the eq of your actual physical guitar is.... So while you can copy John's settings, you probably won't get the same tone.

Haha so funny you uploaded this video because literally last night I was struggling trying to get my friends Aqua-Puss to sound like JM. Thanks for the tips 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks for the information! I always ran the feedback just slightly above off because I didn’t know that it still worked when it was all the way down. Thanks!

Great video dude. Enjoying all your stuff. Would love to see a video on the providence chrono settings.

Exactly. Nail on the head. Bravo, Justin. You've confirmed my curiosity in spades. Thank you.

GREAT vide as always. I’d also be curious about his drive settings along with how he may have used the BB back in the day.

Great vid! Such a simple, but effective effect! No pun intended....

Great video, tips and sounds! This also goes for the CE2 video and the ts10 video. I would love to see you do one on the providence chrono delay. What sounds do you get out of that delay? Maybe compared to the delay 80’s. Thanks for your channel!

Next video request: QTron settings for IDTMWLY, Rosie and other uses

awesome video! Would love to hear cover of bold as love, lenny, gravity through your awesome rig! Also, through my speakers I was hearing lotta clipping when you were doing solo to waiting on the world to change. I am guessing its coz the signal is too loud before it reaches the compressor plugin in UAD ox box. Thats why in your DAW i don't see the signal hitting red, but in my speakers i can hear it and see that its clipping. :) worth looking into.

Interesting analysis! :)

Hey guys, does anyone know what are the settings on Edge of Desire??? Thank you!

You should do a video on blue chip picks vs regular picks. John uses those picks And would be interesting to hear the differences

it changes nothing in terms of sound but Blue chips "feel" amazing when you use them. I had mine for 2 years and no sign of use. It's best to pick one when you are sure about what your favourite pick is like

It’s a freaking pick…. Just practice you will get there

Very good explanation, thanks , you done good

What these have going for them is true bypass. True bypass isn't just a gimmick, it ensures volumes are equal if your effects loop is on or off.

Once is not clear if he uses mk1 or mk2. And the mk1 is difdicult to find. Do you think a dm2w can do the job?

Great info! long delay next! providence chrono and delays 80s!

Couldn’t you dial in those settings on any delay?

Once its difficult to find the mk1. Do you recomenda dm2w or carbon copy?

Does John use a compressor?

The day that you extrapolate how he uses his monitors on stage, in conjunction with his P.A and amps...well that will be a great day.

Great video!! I'm now trying to match this tone using my Future Factory... Lol

Hi. I've just bought a second aqua puss as I'm tired of swapping the one have between two boards. Just noticed though that below the foot switch the text on one simply says WAY HUGE ELECTRONICS and the other sats WAY HUGE by GEORGE TRIPP. Do you know if there is an difference or is it just cosmetic?

@JustinJeske

It’s just cosmetic, the earlier ones never said “by George” on them!

Can you do the same with is second delay pedal like the T Rex Replica or replay box ?

love the aqua puss but I use my Line 6 M9 and I don't miss it now

Justin, do you have a video that covers the Origin Effects SlideRig?

@JustinJeske

11 ай бұрын

I have been trying to make one, but there isn't a ton of footage of John actually using it. It's on my list to keep working on it so hopefully I can make something happen!

actually, the video you linked shows how MKIII really is similar to the MKI and It doesn't bash the latest reissue

@JustinJeske

2 жыл бұрын

That’s why I suggested you guys all go watch it! The MK3 is closer to the original than the MK2 but John prefers the MK2 as his reissue of choice for some reason. It was a great demonstration of all 3

Thanks for the fantastic tips! Cool vid as always. One question, though: Is it possible to get the Way Huge Supa-Puss in the same ballpark as the Aqua Puss for the John Mayer effect? I currently only own that pedal, since I use that one for all sorts of songs that I play with my band.

@JustinJeske

2 жыл бұрын

I’m honestly not sure since I’ve never played one! If you can isolate it to just one repeat and at that ball park slapback time and blend, it should work just fine!

Do you know what songs John uses this on for WTLI?

Do you have opinions about other analog delay? I like the sound of boss DM2W, but not sure it is better slapback delay than AP.

@JustinJeske

Dude you gotta check out the Supro Delay. It is a better AP1/2 clone than the MK2 and MK3 are lol

Nice!

How is the setting on your amp EQ for a good mayer tone ? Thanks

@JustinJeske

2 жыл бұрын

I don't generally show my amp settings cause unless you have a Two Rock Trad Clean they don't really matter. Every amp is different so there is no one magic way to set you EQ. You gotta use your ear and just balance it out to that sound!

I wonder the difference between Crystal VS TC

Btw, you got a True Classic or a Fresh Clean T on? Lol, guns are poppin dude!

The lesson here is learn to use any analog delay and you can figure out how to mimic John Mayer’s sound. It just takes knowing what to listen for.

Argh! Mk is short for "Mark". They're Mark 2, and Mark 3, not Em-kay 2 and Em-kay 3! Great video otherwise, but that grates every time I hear it!

Saying “M K” instead of “Mark” is like saying “V” instead of “Version”. Means the same thing. Lol. But thanks!

No offense to anyone, but I’m figuring out that way too much emphasis is put on obsessing over minuscule nuances of an artists tone. It’s time waisted when one could be improving their chops. Some basic pedals can get you there. Just play. I’m opting to get away from these sorts of videos..Tone, settings, etc, are subjective.

Give credit where credit is due.John Mayer has not earned the respect to name one of his songs without mentioning his name in front of it first. He is only known to the yuppie new society of music.The Berkeley scene ,the new age music, the guitar center geeks the pedal geeks , the followers that don't write there own music. Were not talking about The Beatles ware you can just name a song from " The Sargent Peppers album without mentioning The Beatles and have it be known. Many of the greats have no idea of those songs your playing except for the followers themselves.

For 30 something year old guitar players John Mayer is equivalent to the Beatles. I would process "slow dancing" as being a Mayer track quicker than 'I saw her standing there" as a Beatles track. It's so weird how people cannot process, internalize and then accept this. The guy has been killing it for 20+ years. The Beatles were together for less than 10.... And no, I'm not arguing he's bigger than or better than. It's just that time moves on and new musical heroes rise up. It's the way of the world!
