haha Great point! Watching this in 2020 made me think "what!? They've been out there for so long there's even a bunch of already discontinued pedals I'm having to look for clones of!" then I realised how long it has been.

@@gabrielalbo6911 I think they’re one of the best companies out there. They have full documentaries on the company, featuring the shop and how they build pedals. Earthquaker also has such an awesome selection of effects, from the basics to ambient stuff, and then multiple pedals that will work for any genre, style and/or synth, DJs and keyboard players.

Knowing the mic isn't plugged in makes watching this whole video hilarious. Much love Juan

He held the mic 2 inches from his lips at all times that’s all that matters

I love this rundown because the musician actually plays their instrument while explaining everything, as opposed to the others where it is just technical data.

finally...... a bass rig rundown that is given the same length as a guitar one. about time to!!!

Funny seeing Juan having to introduce the Earthquaker pedal, considering how massive the company is now.

it seems like all the members of The Mars Volta seem so chill and humble and down to earth, mustve been so cool to interview them

Never heard a man play bass like this man before

This was an awesome rig rundown!!! More bass rundowns please!!!

Amazing sounds!

It's nice to see someone play during one of these rig rundown

One of the best bass players I've ever seen

Juan is sooooo calm and soooo enthusiastic!

The runtime of this video is 2112.

That trick with the killswitch was amazing. I totally listening to the Mars Volta now.

Amazing bass rundown!!

This is such an awesome video!

My favourite Rig Rundown so far!

I've never been so enthrall with something I know nothing about, but its awesome to get an idea of how they get some of those amazing sound effects.

I got one of those Stars Guitars brass bridges on my 1975 J-Bass. The DiMarzio J pups, and the bridge were purchased new, and installed by the previous owner of the '75 Jazz. Those really early production DiMarzio pickups are highly coveted by me. Every single early DiMarzio bass pup that I've ran across since the mid-late 80's, I've bought them. I have 2 drawers full. I love the really early EMG Bass pups, too.

+Steve Mills I've tried a handful of nice pickups, but found a set of used Model Js for cheap and fell in love with them. I recall Juan saying how he loves how DiMarzio hasn't changed their design in forever. This is when I realized that the hot trendy new gear doesn't always beat out the older stuff. The DiMarzio really is my favorite pickup, even if they're less expensive.

Oh man, that's such a sweet bass and bass sound. Tons of respect for Juan!

love the PJ fretless bass

@Tonyisnt Those are 2 Ampeg PF-500 (Portaflex Series). 500W of solid state MOSFET power. Interesting to see him not use his usual full tube amp! The cabs he has are also portaflex: 2 115HE and 2 210HE.

okay guys juan is a legend he's just showing the basic effects of his pedals I'd like to see any bassist on here or guitarist outplay him stop hating and you might learn a thing or too

yes! just ordered my multi-play today!

thanks - I just learned so much.

you have to plug in the external mic into the camera for it to work :)))

nice interview juan is awesome. he really enjoy the interview.

It really is. Did you have a peek at that little box of noise he uses with the knobs and little keys? It's awesome! And the way he uses the iPad to fill in the rest of the music.

Excellent! Thank you.

I saw this in my subscription box and was thrilled. awesome bassist, awesome rig, awesome video. one needs to be done for Armistead Burwell Smith IV of Pinback

I like this vid because he not only shows us his guitars, but he shows us all the sounds he gets from pedals instead of just talking about it

14:35 CEDRIC!

sound of that groove loop starting at 14:40 is pretty badass

I saw him with Big Sir last night and he's awesome isn't he? Such a great musician with a really unique tone. Really down to earth and mega talented. :D

Juan is a OG . salute

www.gofundme.com/f/fundraiser-juan-alderete-brain-injury Juan Alderete - beloved husband, son, brother, uncle, friend, bandmate and cat dad - has had the privilege of connecting with music lovers around the world through his remarkable talent as the bassist in Marilyn Manson, The Mars Volta, Big Sir, Deltron 3030, Dr. Octagon, Vato Negro, Halo Orbit and Racer X in addition to lending his bass lines to music by Lil Peep, Jonwayne, Juliette Lewis, B'z and many more. On January 13, 2020, Juan was involved in a bicycle accident that-despite wearing a helmet and protective gear-left him with a serious type of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) known as Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI). He also suffered a fractured clavicle and spinal fracture. And as many of you fellow musicians and artists understand, there is no paid time off or sick time for this type of work. The journey Juan and his family are about to embark on is a marathon, not a sprint; it is a long road and we want to be able to tap some of the best and most passionate medical professionals who are experts on TBI patients and their potential for recovery. Physical, occupational and cognitive therapies are just some of what we'll need to pay for in the coming weeks and months. In-patient care and therapy, special medical equipment and assistance are other expenses we anticipate in the longer term. And while we help Juan focus on recovering, he will not be able to work but of course the goal is to get him back to playing music, and talking pedals on Pedals and Effects with his partner in crime, Nick. Because the world needs Juan on bass just as much as Juan needs to play bass.

You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this bass porn

Fantastic rundown - I love how musical Juan is, even whilst manipulating all those freak monster sounds he conjures up :-) What a player and what a band!

I would love a rundown of Jonathan Hischke of Hella, Broken Bells, Dot Hacker, and Le Butcherettes bass gear.

Cool to hear a plug for Eric’s Guitar shop in Van Nuys

@Tonyisnt Yeah, VRs are the classic tube tone. But those Pf-500s are not as expensive! And they pack a lot of power too! They go around $400 new. Light weight, great sounding and small.

mad respect for such a good bass player

If he and Mike Einziger ever form a band, it'll be like watching a tap dancing duo on stage.

I had an uncle who's name was Juan Alderete, in Albuquerque, NM

@utubedestroysmytime Hipshot D tuner. It's a lever you can install on your E string tuning key and at the flip of a switch you can go from E to drop D

❤ you and 🙏 for you Juan

Juan Alderete is my newest inspiration. Cool!

Thank you! After looking through Boss's tremolos I found out it's a PN-2, for anyone else who was curious.

Killer extreme modulated Delay with an old Digitech Multiplay PDS-20/20 !!!

I just want to know if Juan applied the famous epoxy coating to his fretless neck?? Since i believe he uses roundwounds with it.

What a great dude!

I almost went to see them at the forum on this tour..bummed that I didn't

"Theyre named Earthquaker Devices, dont know if youve heard of em" EQD is a mainstay on my pedal board.

PDS-20/20 and it's a Delay

Digitech 20/20 pedal that he is using has an infinite looping setting in it which he is using I think. Hope this helps.

The only rig rundown that I've heard a "TV bleep". Rad

For the love of GAWD hold the camera steady, I feel like I am watching an old episode of Hill Street Blues or something.

one of the most under rated bass players in the world right here, folks.

Yes, what was the last pedal he demo'd? Looked like maybe an old digitech?

I love you Juan!!!!!

The black Bass just sounds KILLER! Could not believe my ears!

I need one of those vibrato pedals.. and the octave/sub pedal! Nice! Anyone know what pedal will do the original Mu-Tron justice?

muy buena onda Juan!

I'm loving the video, but was the interview mic not connected or something? Maybe the editor forgot about that audio track? Really annoying to have to change my volume every time some one talks or plays. Still, awesome video!

what's that pedal on the bottom left?

What's the green Boss pedal ontop of his power supply?

That bass tone at 17:40. Good God 🤘

Release the album goddamnit!!!

Whats the Red and the Green Effect called? I didn't get it 😬 can anyone Help?

Did he say what that greeny/blue stombox at the top was? Does anyone know?

Where can Ibuy the atomic amps studio devil? Id appreciate any help!

Somebody please tell me what is that bass overdrive or distortion he's using!

gotta love those vintage fenders

yeah i totally agree. ive been playing guitar for a long time and i find that if i dont play for a few days i have to spend some time getting back lol

Juan's my effing hero.

@Tonyisnt He's got two PF-500s.

The brown one is almost my dream bass

Beast mode incarnate!

Because he's been playing fretless for along time. Contrary to popular opinion, practicing does help. I suck at playing fretless, but I notice that it gets better already whenever I play fretless a couple of days in a row.

9minute mark is so cool. very envious

He's also the bassist for Racer X....

You da man, Juan...now...NEW RACERX CD!

Also worth noting about his fretless is that his fretboard is epoxied. Just so y'all know :)

What's the green dirt pedal?

Juan seems like a chill guy.
