Howdy Folks! The video you have all been waiting for is here: Cory Wong's Rig Doctor Appointment! Cory is one of the most influential guitarists of this decade. We were stoked to have him come in, hang, and melt our faces by means of funky rhythm guitar. Huge thanks to Cory for being so generous and kind throughout this whole process, and huge thanks to you (yeah, you) for watching!

Louis Rios seriously. Same here! He’s opened my mind to the importance and limitless possibilities that open up when you commit to becoming a human metronome, dude can play the weirdest, funkiest riff or lick, however syncopated and unorthodox it may seem, and when it ends, he’ll be right back, lock-step in time with everyone else, each member their own rhythm section and lead player.. they’re all truly remarkable musicians, and a rare treat for music and theory nerds, but still accessible enough for my 65 year old. mom to like them! But Cory is just that extra little cherry on top of the sexy sundae of sounds that is Vulfpeck.

I love Cory. And this pedalboard looks great. I saw it in a later video where he'd swapped in some different pedals, and it was still super clean. My only complaint... Cory, dude. When a doggo comes up to you with their favorite toy, you stop messing with the pedalboard and show the doggo some love. 😆

Hi! I heard that if you leave jacks plugged in to your pedals all the time there's a corrosion that builds and hurts the sound, is it true? Clearly not if you suggest leaving them in, but wanted to hear your thoughts! Thanks and great video!

@VertexEffectsInc

4 жыл бұрын

Oxidation and corrosion is inherent in most any connection on a pedal or pedalboard, plugged in or not. 1/4" jacks on pedals, and guitar patch cables, will need to have contacts cleaned periodically for best function. It's like the oil change for your pedals so to speak. You can check out some of our pedalboard maintenance tips on our channel, we've done a few episodes on this and link our favorites contact cleaners.

the tidy-ness of the board is so attractive, to me. i wonder what made you choose that type of board vs a metal frame one like a pedal train or similar? i also wonder how you come up with the placement? it doesn't seem to be entirely related to the order the signal goes thru them. also, i don't know that player, but he was bringin the funk that would have made wendy melvoin take notice. very cool
