Nashville's Favorite Guitar Pedals

Музыка

Some of the best guitarists in the world gravitate to Nashville, Tennessee. While no two guitarists in the city sound the same, there are several effects pedals that consistently show up on the boards of Nashville’s finest.
Today, I’m walking you through guitar pedals that have been canonized by Nashville’s top players and explaining the specific role each one of them plays.

    All the pedals look easily accessible which is cool. I think you could add a bunch of pedals to the list but these are pretty much what I think of from Nashville session guys except maybe the light speed is pretty popular. And you already explained how the m9 is popular. So looks good.

Also the Hughes and Kettner Rotosphere had its time until the Strymon Lex arrived.

Still getting my head around the Bakersfield sound - a clean Tele tone that was bigger than a Les Paul into a Marshall! Thanks for another informative video Mason. I use a lot less gain these days and found a secondhand Fulldrive 2 and love the way it stacks. Will have a play with my Nobels Mini and a good boost.

    Nice video and demos. I play in a UK-based country originals band and tend to use 4 x OD pedals all set to sweet spots and pushing each other, having watched many Bukovac and Pierce videos. My signal chain runs - Musicman guitars > Tuner > Wampler EGO Compressor on about 55% blend > J Rockett Archer Rockaway EQ/OD, (barely any gain but adds lots of elasticity) > Mad Professor Sweet Honey OD > J Rockett Tim Pierce OD (my main gain pedal set quite low gain) > J Rockett Dude (boosted for solos). MXR Reverb > Wampler Faux Tape Echo) in the loop. I've got the Ego, Rockaway and Tim Price OD are turned on most of the time, the Sweet Honey adds a beefier push for lead lines better than any Xotic pedal I've tried, the Dude for solos. I sing a lot of harmonies, so this combination helps me jump guitar layers live to exactly where I need my sound with the minimum distraction, especially as I'm hopeless with volume & wah pedals. Quite a few other pedals have come and gone

    I just got a EHX canyon for a smaller board build ,that I wanted to make more versatile by adding some ambient tones. The board had phase, chorus, delay, tremolo .I looked, and looked for a solution to get some reverb on there . I only had room for 4 pedals on my Vertex riser ,and they could only be 2" high so the lid would still fit. I definitely looked at the Dispatch Master ,and the Wampler Ethereal .Both were to tall .In the end I'm really happy with the canyon for this build. I also researched some trem-verb pedals ,but in the end chose to go with a delay-verb .

    Nobles are amazing pedals even though I still love a good TS-808 and always have. Maybe because it was my first pedal, after a Vox Wah, that I bought 20 years ago and truly loved and really felt enhanced my playing. I always thought the TS-808 was many pedals in one. A light overdrive, a boost as in mid-boost, an amp pushing distortion, and best of all, a pedal that made all the harmonics pop like no other pedal

    Great one Mason! Really fantastic tones throughout. I dig the way you solo'd the pedals and then put them in the context of a mix. And thanks for using the M9 and Fender. Perfect baseline reference points for me. Curious about which FX you were using in the M9. I use, or have used most of the pedals here, sans mods. The only one I haven't had a chance to play is a Mostortion. Cheers

    Thank you for that explanation - I currently play in a country band and finally decided I simply didn’t like using a compressor pedal; currently attempting to use OD in place of a comp pedal……. Gives me a sound that is reminiscent of Marty Stuart. Hopefully this will work out, but my gut keeps telling me that comp pedals don’t work for my style.

    Go with your gut and ear for pedals i run a ts808 for a little dirt on my clean channel and it smooths out the distortion channel on my amp nicely. I use a keeley caverns for delay and modulated reverb and a hall of fame for a bigger reverb. Blx mini phaser, EHX POG octave up, walrus Juliav2 chorus, and a calico fugly v2 fuzz (tonebender copy)

I use is as an always on pedal early in the chain. I'm also a fan of expression pedals. I've been using the earnieball ambient delay. I just rock on it as needed.

I spent 3 hours comparing with the 2x12 model, they were completely different amps. A few years later I recorded the Doors live DVD only to find Robbie used a pair of them and nothing else. Happiness. 👍🏽

    @vertex effects - you asked what songs,. Many that I can think of have some sort of synth bass tone to it. PYT from MJ and Flashlight from PF. So we are talking envelope filter, octave divider, and a multitude of modulation/time, commonly chorus and delay. Then you have Justin Chancellor of Tool who heavily favors Tremolo, Whammy, Expression Wah, and OD/Distortion. He will then add a combo of Chorus and Flanger and Octave Divider. Songs like Jambi, 46&2, Lateralus, The Pot, Schism. The rest of the examples are more live rig sounds, like John Entwistle, say circa 2000. He had a bi-amp signal, 3 channels, wet/dry effects. Dry signal in one channel, Chorus/Flanger/Delay/reverb in another channel, and dirty overdrive distortion channel, all blended together. Basically everything but the kitchen sink thrown at what a bass vocabulary includes.

    @@VertexEffectsInc that's the part I was having trouble finding a good example of a song with layered studio bass tracks. PYT is essentially a straight synth track using a multitude of effects but it is not overdubbed/layered. They're likely isn't very many until you start looking at solo bass players with looping pedals taking place of the other instruments that normally the bass would not do. I'll have to give this more thought and get back to you.

I am a full time solo performer over 3700 shows of 23 years. I use a Rick Turner RS-6 and on the Lead side of my pedal-board xotic SP compressor into a Tech 21 GT4 into a Boss DD-3 Delay and into a Behringer Active DI right into my Power amp. Pretty good sound but as a guitarist always looking for better tone. Thanks again for your videos.

Also just for me personally the Ibanez MSL Metal Screamer has a great tone for this style, can easily be substituted in place of the Nobels Odr if you're looking to switch it up.

The Nobles in my my opinon sounds better than any nobles copy of of which I gave away. The Wampler Hotwire is very good for a strat less for a tele. My Vox AC 30 s1 sounds tremendous with the Dano.
