Every time I go on tour I'm always surrounded by gear enthusiasts like me, it's a great environment for creativity but a bad environment for your wallet! Every stop on tour I check the local music shops and craigslist pages. Whether its Deltron 3030, or Juliette Lewis myself and all the other musicians on tour are always scouring each stop for great gear and hidden gems.
Read MoreNick Reinhart here, checking in with the pedal world. Today we're jamming the Devi Ever (but sort of Dwarfcraft) Super Soda Meiser fuzz pedal. I think i go over the details in the video below, but just in case you wanna skip over our banter (why would you wanna do that?) here's the deal with this guy- one day Ben Hinz, of Dwarfcraft, surprised me with a custom, one-off pedal with my name printed across the front. This was pretty mind blowing. Little did I know, that it would turn into a full on collaboration.
Read MoreNick Reinhart comes swinging for the fences with the new Digitech Whammy Ricochet! Tom Cram at Digitech continues to amaze and give us musicians amazing tools to play music with. This is a really cool pedal to pitch shift with but as a bonus, there are a number of other cool things you can do too. Best thing...its way smaller than the Whammy pedal, which doesn't necessarily always make the pedalboard because of its large size.
Read MoreI think it's safe to say that nearly every pedal company makes a great delay, and they are readily available in any music store. The main difference in delay pedals these days comes down to functionality. The Endangered Audio AD4096 is probably one of the most ambitious and most musical delays I have ever played.
Read MoreHaving literally just arrived from the Warwick Bass camp in Germany, I'm already getting ready to hit the road again with Juliette Lewis. While I have some brief time back at home, I wanted to walk you guys through how I put together a road friendly pedalboard.
Read MoreWhen I first started playing bass in the late 70’s, I was obsessed with John Entwistle’s famous bass solo on The Who’s “My Generation.” I was such a fan of John’s work that I relentlessly investigated how he got his bass tone. I remember constantly trying to replicate that round, metallic, bright sound that resembled that of the low end strings of a piano.
Read MoreWe’re back with Show Me Your Pedalboard, where I call on the Pedals And Effects community to send in a picture of their boards for an open discussion. Admar sent his picture of a very neatly organized pedalboard, chained much differently than what we’ve seen before.
Read MoreWe want to once again thank Justin Pearson for joining us. We all spoke for hours upon hours about music, gear, effects, touring, life and what we recorded only captures a fraction of the entire experience. Justin is an incredibly ambitious musician and his work ethic, and creative output is a clear indication of his drive.
Read MoreHey hey, it's Jonathan Hischke back for Pedals & Effects, here to present round two of my interview with Justin Pearson- (or JP)- of the Locust, Head Wound City, Dead Cross and many more. If these little episodes had titles or themes, I think this one could be called 'Accidents'. As we all know, both happy accidents and not so happy ones are often what lead us to new breakthroughs, interesting creations and fresh approaches to the things we do....and JP is no exception.
Read MoreGodlyke's Kevin Bolembach is a huge supporter of myself and Pedals And Effects. He has always come through for me and I wanted to take a look back at a video he shot at a Deltron 3030 soundcheck on a tour stop late 2013.
Read MoreHi everyone! Just a friendly heads up that Juan will be at the 5th annual Warwick Bass Camp later this month in Germany. Juan, along with other bass superstars will be conducting clinics in addition to celebrating all things bass!
