Caught them at Summerfest in Milwaukee. They blew me away! Sounded better live then the recordings. I have already got my tickets for the tour with The National. Can't wait!
I love to see someone like me continue to try out new pedals all the time. I try to keep my board as small as possible but there is just to many good pedals out there!
Adam is a super down-to-earth person. This rig is kinda ridiculous, but I take it as a sign that he’s obsessed with, and lost in, what he does. It seems like he could probably simplify this and get near-identical results. But why? The lesson is not that home musicians should have a board like this. But it’s fun to see what happens if you just get totally lost in the dream of pedals and sound and gear.
According to a forum on the Bun Runner: "It’s Tonebender (I don’t remember which version) on one side and a clone of the Devi Ever Hyperion on the other."
The great thing about this rig is that he can just pick his stuff and be on his way within a minute or two. And it doesn't require much time on stage for setting up and soundcheck. And lastly, this is not something you could all do easily with a laptop and an interface nowadays.
Awesome. A lot of ignorant comments in this section. This dude is a aural craftsman. Whether you enjoy their music or not, there is artistry in tone, which is as important as the song in 2023 and beyond. We are evolving, and soundwriting is a thing.
@@a.wyattmann4370 I have a huge, $9-10k chad pedalboard, moro n. Lot of strymon. This dude sucks he doesnt even know his pedals his tech put this together. His war with drugs... the drugs won.
I think we finally found the guy who can give Thomas Mcrocklin a run for his money for most outrageous and biggest paddleboard, that being said, I wouldn’t know what to do with half of that. I have my fender amp set up with five or six Boss pedals, but you can never have too many Boss pedals 🤘🏻🎸🎶
I've seen this band live and they sounded amazing. I think some people get a little carried away with pedals though. I'd hate to be the one to set that up and trouble shoot it.
Sadly I'm just an amateur player but I dream big too . 😂... awesome workstation man..got the works covered in thinking..if I used all of my effects to build a single board it'd be 3 times this size.. however even though I could I don't..I usually stack up a5-8 pedal set-up and tweak and play..lotta fun man
There are two mics next to his mic stand. One is pointed at the audience, that could be an ambience mic. But the other one is pointed at the stage, I wonder, what that one is doing.
Here I sit trying to minimize my rig so that it might fit on a Boss BCB-1000 and a small board for vocals bc I dont want to carry all of that dead weight around and then I see this🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please try to geht the Arctic Monkeys doing a video like this. :) Would be so interesting cause their rarely asked about what gear their use. It’s sure a lot simpler than this haha
I have got to go and listen to them now. Anyone who needs a rainbow of tools to inspire them must create some magical sounds! Talks like a real artist, my expectations are high!
Oh man, listen to disappearing (awesome) and under the pressure (amazing song and the outro is nuts) Basically, you cant go wrong with Lost in the dream (the album)
It might be hard because they're a band that does a lot of extended jams and night-to-night changes. They're not really a band where "the show" can be pre-programed in.
@@Tim85-y2q that defiantly makes sense. I just brought that up because there are some big touring guitarist that don't want any pedals on stage and have their tech do the switching off stage. what may seem complicated to me might be easy for somebody else. maybe that pedal rig is easy for him to operate while performing and singing 😄
@@Joshua_Ott That's usually the better way to go if they're playing the same show every night and everything has to be perfectly synched to other elements of a massive production. That's why you see that on a lot of big tours. If you've ever seen Drugs play live, Adam spends a lot of time fiddling with his pedals to create a soundscape. They're a bit jam-bandy in that respect.
i'm sorry but Adam literally is sounding like an extremely rich hipster dood with far too much gear....i get that they've actually musicalized all these pedals in some way, they all serve something musically, but this guy literally has like 8 flangers and 5 boost pedals, like what the hell hahahah i love WOD though
Poor guy can only afford a few pedals? Comparison is the thief of joy why be such a wanker if you actually listen to the band his pedal board makes a lot of sense
This rundown makes my brain hurt. I can also say that I barely hear anything unique this rig brings to the table, other than a journey in....toy collecting. Not my jam I guess.
