The first video I ever did was for Black Summer. Back then I had no idea what kinda pedals John was using for the recording of this song. Right now there are a few pictures of John's pedalboard where you can see the settings very well so I thought it would be nice to revisit Black Summer and show you the pedals and settings of each part of the song.
This is the order of my signal chain:
1. MXR Dyna Comp
2. Boss SD-1
3. Boss DS-2
4. MXR Variac Fuzz
5. Triungulo Lab JF Fuzz
6. EHX Big Muff
7. MXR Micro Amp
8. MXR Phase 90
9. MXR Flanger
10. Line 6 FM4
11. Echoplex Delay
12. MXR Carbon Copy
13. Boss DD-7
14. Ibanez WH-10
15. MXR Reverb
16. Boss CE-1
Amp settings:
Marshall Super Lead
Presence: 6
Bass: 10
Middle: 5
Treble: 5
Volume I: 1,5
Volume II: 3
Marshall Silver Jubilee
Presence: 5
Bass: 10
Middle: 7
Treble: 1
Output Master: 7
Lead Master: X
Input Gain: 7

@PR15440 Год назад

Thank you for this and all of the great content on this channel! Amazing to watch and I am a huge fan. Could you please describe the remainder of your signal chain (i.e., from the stereo output of the Boss CE-1 to the end)? I am curious to know how you route the signal through the Triage and to the amps. Do you use any other pedals (noise suppression anywhere)? Thank you, again!

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

The first output of the CE-1 goes to the Triage (ground lift) and then to the Plexi. The second output of the CE-1 goes straight to the Silver Jubilee. No noise suppressor or anything.

@zrobertez Год назад

The MXR flanger can't be beat. I've tried some others because mine is so noisy and I'd like more range but everything else has just been dull/boring. My last thought is a BF-2, but Ive mostly accepted my MXR is here to stay. I've had it for over 10 years now. I think my noise problem might be related to the charge pump I added when I first bought it because 18v is a pain. Nowadays, I have a power supply that supports 18v so I'm not carrying around extra plugs

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

Mine isn’t noisy at all. Maybe because it’s a new one?

@jebusgod Год назад

video is awesome, and can I just say its one thing to say John Frusciante uses this pedal and this amp, its another thing to demo the whole song and walk it through. Unlike some other shitty channels with Instagram posers (Justin Jeske) who can play a lick to save their lives or as I like to say all the gear no idea.

@LuisRFeliu Год назад

damn that's a lot of dancing turning on and off pedals. John does all those changes live?? Great Video!

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

Yes and no. He does all the changes himself but there are a lot of moments in the set where he doesn’t use an effect that is on the record (and on his pedalboard). For instance, he doesn’t use the Flanger and the Dyna Comp for Black Summer when he plays it live.

@zekuaran9634 Год назад

I need your help again. I want to buy my first fuzz pedal but can’t decide between the classic Big Muff, the new Variac fuzz or even another alternative that you use in other videos. Could you give me some thoughts on which one is better or at least versatile? Thanks in advice!

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

If I had to choose one fuzz I would go for the MXR variac fuzz. I think it sounds more aggressive than the Big Muff. The Big Muff is really smooth sounding kinda like a distortion pedal.

@zekuaran9634 Год назад

@@RedHotChiliRiffs in addition, John now uses the variac for the solo of songs like Wet Sand, where the Big Muff was used in SA era. No more words neede, I'm getting the variac. Huge thanks again! :)

@xBamf4Lifex Год назад

@faboupalmeraie Год назад

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

No definitely not. He’s not stepping on any pedal for that part when they’re playing Black Summer live.

@faboupalmeraie Год назад

@@RedHotChiliRiffs thanks

@leopleyer4400 10 месяцев назад

One question why did you place the reverb before the ce-1?

@RedHotChiliRiffs 10 месяцев назад

Because John put his MXR reverb in front of the CE-1 as well. He used to put the Holy Grail reverb after the CE-1 but since Unlimited Love he puts the reverb before the CE-1.

@kikius2003 Год назад

How did you solve the volume jump on the DS-2 I'm curious about that

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

I never max out the volume on the DS-2 so I don’t have a volume jump when I engage it.

@@RedHotChiliRiffs Thank you for your reply I'm always enjoying it!

@beebear4541 Год назад

Is the variac fuzz going into sd1?

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

No, first the SD-1 and then the Variac Fuzz. You can find the order of the entire pedalboard in the description of the video.

@ascosta Год назад

Hey, that CE-1 in vibrato mode... Do you think that's the same effect he uses in This Is The Place from the By The Way album? I always thought that was a chorus effect. Well.. The CE-1 is technically a chorus pedal, but is the vibrato mode a classic vibrato effect only, or a "chorus'd vibrato"?

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

I think it is. John is using two amps (one clean and one with vibrato) so the vibrato becomes a chorus at high rate. Chorus is basically vibrato and clean signal blended together.

@jorge.az07 Год назад

In This is The Place John used the Electric Mistress Flanger, i think

@ascosta Год назад

@@jorge.az07 you're right.. There's a flanger going on for sure in the background, but the chords he lets ring during the verse has this wobbly sound that seems to be the CE-1 in vibrato mode m

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

It’s a combination of the flanger and the vibrato

Is that actual board itself your using a pedal train terra 42?

@jonathanramiscarranza9195 Год назад

I have a question about the CE1, you use chorus or vibrato?

For Black Summer it’s on the Vibrato setting. For a lot of other songs it’s on chorus.

Damm I just love ur tone, Its sounds just like on record! But I was wondering if u could also do one for bass as well. Im pretty new at bass and struggling to get Flea's unlimited love tone :/

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

Flea used his passive Fender Jazz Bass for the majority of Unlimited Love and Dream Canteen. His sound is a blend of 50% DI and 50% amp.

@AllenP12 Год назад

@@RedHotChiliRiffs Thank you!! And if u could help me with the amp setting, how do u usually set it?

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

You can find the amp settings for (almost) every song I did in the description of the video.

@AllenP12 Год назад

@@RedHotChiliRiffs Oh right Ive just saw that. Thank you very much! Also do u know why flea would use jazz bass for recording while hes mainly using bass with humbuckers like modulus or stingray on live? Just bit confusing

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

Because the active basses are more modern and are easier to play. He also like the more aggressive active tone for old songs like Nobody Weird Like Me. He did use his passive basses for their last performance so who knows what he will use in 2023….

@blackwolf4653 Год назад

do you need the MXR-Recerb, when you already have a Line 6 DL4.?

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

The reverb is just a small detail to add a little room sound. That being said reverb and delay are two very different things so you can’t replace the MXR reverb with the Line 6 DL4.

@blackwolf4653 Год назад

@@RedHotChiliRiffs wow thanks for the fast Reply Sir. Im starting to build my own Frusciante inspired Pedal Board. So far i got the Jackhammer, Past FX Chorus, WH10Ibanez wah, Bigg Muff, DS2 and the Line 6 DL4. I wanna add the mxr micro Amp, MXR Dyna Comp, MXR phase 90, Variac Fuzz, MXR 117 Flanger, MXR Reverb, Boss SD-1 Overdrive and the Line 6 FM4 modeler. My AMP is a Boss Katana 50. Do you think if i got all of that im oretty close to John‘s tone.? Again thanks for replying. I Love your Videos and already learned alot from them. Keep Going 🙏🏼

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

You’ve got a nice setup already! My advice is to go for the SD-1 next. John used it a lot on the new albums and it’s not very expensive. The Variac Fuzz is a nice one as well. I don’t think the Flanger, Phase 90, and the FM4 are very important. John uses those pedals for one or two songs only.

@ugopaleni2131 Год назад

You nailed it my friend. I have two questions, are the pickups in the squier stock? And how much of it all do you attribute to the jubilee/plexi. Just would be interesting to know what are the most replaceable items if that makes sense

@RedHotChiliRiffs Год назад

The pickups in my Squier are not the stock pickups. I replaced them with Fender USA standard Stratocaster pickups. It’s really a sum of the parts. If you’re gonna play a shitty guitar through those pedals and amps it’s not gonna sound great. That being said I think Squiers are pretty good guitars…
