I 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!
Read MoreEveryone's tastes change and that goes for everyone, including guys like Nick and myself. However, today's episode is is about a Nick Reinhart epiphany! Nick breaks down how he came to love the Earthquaker Devices Arrows and burger flips at McDonald's.
Read MoreKicking off your Monday, Pedals And Effects style! While on tour with Deltron 3030 during our Portland, Oregon stop I had to stop by Old Town Music. Old Town Music is one of the best music stores in the country, so of course I had to drop in. During this particular visit they had an 80’s Ibanez DUE300 Multi-Effects pedal at a steal of a price of $75.00! This multi effects unit is great for several reasons but I would have to say the most unique thing is the delay hold button on the board gives you 2.2 seconds of hold time! Back then, that must have seemed like eternity.
Read MoreMusic production is evolving at lightning speed, and, as a bassist, I ask myself all the time if technology is helping or compromising me as a musician. When I first started professionally in the mid 80’s, records, like Racer X’s Street Lethal, were still being released on vinyl. Shortly thereafter, CD's were the norm; then MP3's and now streaming. Music technology has changed just as much as music itself has and although I’ve kept some of my gear from the early days, I always try to stay informed on the latest technology to see how it can enhance my skills and sound as a musician.
