This is funny!!! they talk like its going to be ACDC onstage? incase anything will go wrong, we can switch to another laptop! he's got a big looper!! he has 1000 units! incase this goes wrong? why do they keep talking about things going wrong??? how many channels goes a damn acoustic player need??? does he have 500 mics on stand-by incase they cut out? and the mention of dealing with a challenge!! yeah!! we all focus on one guy?????? its like setting up an Iron Maiden gig mate! :)

@integer22 4 года назад

@@Gibson1976uk with a full band there's more stuff to hide behind if anything goes wrong. with one guy and a guitar, if anything goes wrong, everyone notices. therefore makes total sense to have this level of redundancy at every level. their ableton tech says there's 8 channels of RF inputs...so that might be main vocal mic, loop mic, spares for both those, and 4 guitars...not that ridiculous for a stadium show

Love the modified pedal to send a tone to the console to gate the guitar for mute tuning. Nice job. Will have to build one for my so the artist can mute for tuning.

@fabianvasquezjr8852 3 года назад

So if the looper goes down shows over? Hope they got redundant backups of his board. What a easy job of FOH, only have one vocal and two left right channels from the loop board interface & TB channel.I would fall asleep at the wheel mixing that show!

@fatboyslimdusty 4 года назад

I'm wondering - if at some point during the set, let's say between songs, Ed strums his guitar and nothing comes out but his vocals are still fine - in the heat of the moment, what's the decision making process that would lead you to hit the 'backup' option and route everything through the backup rack - given that he could have simply pressed the wrong button on his stomp box?

@josephdoran64 4 года назад

Silence from the guitar isn't what they're talking about when they mention switching between the racks. The back up option is there just incase the laptop crashes, overheats, drops out, CPU gets overloaded, etc. It could manifest as cracks/pops/stutters/slow mo audio/computer locks up. It actually happened when Ed was at Wembley in 2015 and I'm assuming this was the solution they came up with to stop it ever happening again.

@bustedfender Год назад

The guitar goes in this one. This one’s for the microphone. These turn it up louder.

@ZipSnipe 4 года назад

I just wanna know what the tire is used for at 2:08 ?

@faltaverso 7 месяцев назад

The Chewie II sacrifices 5 twin pedal RC20 to give Ed the same feeling he used to get when he stepped on a Boss RC20XL. By the way, Boss Footswitch is the best. Sadly, Boss has changed to generic small Footswitches in their most recent loop pedal line.

@ibec69 2 года назад

So what does the tire do?

@cyfenphoenix3830 4 года назад

so with massive set-up like this which type of speaker system is advisable to use. Active or passive cabinets

@totallypixelated 4 года назад

Depends on preference. Both have advantages and disadvantages. The Meyer Sound rig in this case is all active speakers. Many shows of this size also tour with passive speakers, for example, d&b.

@JoseAngel-iv5eu 4 года назад

I want to know how many amplifiers has to power the system, how many amps the bass system used to run the low frecuency

@totallypixelated 4 года назад

Meyer Sound speakers are active speakers, so each speaker box has its own amplifier built in. From 0:30 he goes through all the speakers he is using. You can count from that!

@teweone Год назад

nice

@benardlorrabellanosa Год назад

Men such a complex set up and its a great set of gear.., I just wonder if Ed Would consider having a back up band with him rather than going solo.. It must be nicer to have that kind of set of gigs rather than all loops and all that but still he did a great job and the crew with the sound engineer

@josephdoran64 4 года назад

The software they're using to host the loop station (Mobius looper) has a resync option built in that detects when the drift is greater than a set amount. For example, if the drift is out by 2048 frames, the master (or slave, depending on the setting) will realign itself to bring them back into sync.

Like he said, he wanted that tuner and if you are Ed Sheeran you probably have the money to get that integrated. Considering that the boss chromatic tuner was probably his first ever bought pedal, i can understand why he wanted to keep it. So it's not about the ability to put a tuner in that custom looper, rather a choice of preference :)
