Here's a video of a full rundown of Jeffrey Kunde's pedalboard. Check out a written description of the board at his blog: jeffreykunde.com Also check out: www.goodwoodaudio.com www.disasterareaamps.com www.veritascustomguitars.com
Jeffrey you have the best taste for tone, your ideas of how to set up your rig are one of the best I've seen, love your board, love the sound of that blue guitar you used in this demo, keep inspiring generations to serve God with excellence. God bless you and the guys of Jesus culture.
That pedal board is awesome. Love the bypass looper you've got and how they've synced up the timeline and bigsky - that's exactly the set-up I need right now. Great video Jeff, such a massive help. Thanks bro.
This is very complex, but the end result is amazing tone! And the wizardry from disaster area is just mind blowing. One day I'll have to build a rig with their tech.
hey!!!! I was in Sacramento in september 24 last year!!!!! while you was recording the video I was in US!!! !!! saludos desde Mexico.!!!! Dios te bendiga!!! GBY!
amazing demonstration here. Congrats on your fantastic board. I think it is amazing how much control you have and also the foresight for considering new pedals. I also wonder how in the midst of performance do you remember all of this? Thanks for posting.
Very cool, gave me a few ideas. I maintain a similar kind of pedal board with a lot of the same items (DPC-8EZ, Strymon Pedals) and a lot of MIDI programming.
this reminds me of me staying up all hours of the night in my bedroom messing with my setup..I wasted a lot of time in my room tho tbh...The pedalboard is cool but it looks like a FIRE just waiting to happen lol..
Another problem I see w/ this pedalboard and I have a question about it..are the 2 Disaster area switchers at the bottom of the board..well based on the adjustments you make on pedals such as the timeline , big sky are those settings set to the switchers?
I like how there's a smaller board in the background that I'd be absolutely blown away to own. I see JHS Panther Cub on there and some other goodness. Sweet.
Jeffrey, you should do a video of the little board behind you! I myself do not use a bunch of pedals, and I think it would be cool to see a minimal setup you use for worship!
hello jeffrey .... I live in Brazil and I want to start playing at the church. Would you recommend the line 6 helix? or pedals like yours, I find installation and adjustment difficult .. and the price too what do you think?
Yeah that's true the rc booster is a buffer but he had both before this pedalboard upgrade. This is definitely an easier way to switch effects in between songs especially since he has to do a long list most of the time.
So you can't use your volume pedal unless your drive pedal loop is engaged? But not on it's own loop that is just always on? So its after the out of bank 6 and before the input of bank 7 and you can't use it unless 6 and 7 are engaged?? I'm trying to figure out if I put it (and a NS2) on their own loop which will always be on or just put it before everything including the drive pedals...I mean, I don't as of yet have any use for fading in distortion but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want it and I get why a volume pedal is after the drive pedals...But I typically just use it on clean swells.
Hi Jeffrey, love the video and love your sound. I have a question regarding your ernie ball volume pedal. Have you ever had issues with causing white noise? I have been playing electric guitar for sometime now and I'm having a terrible time with hiss and all. I have tried and tried and tried to figure what's going on, but can seem to find any solution. I have even had the EB modded because I was told it splits the tuner out with the out jack. Had a buffer put on and it still creates hiss. Can you help? I've been to Guitar center, I've had techs look at my rig. It's tiresome. I want a clean sound.
Rich, in order to really figure out the hiss, start by taking everything away, just play your guitar into your amp. If there is hiss, you may have to check the pickups of your guitar, shield them, etc. If the signal is clean, start by adding back in one pedal/item at a time. When you start getting the hiss again, you should know what the offending pedal/item is. Don't change guitars or locations when you do this, keep all the variables the same, then you should be able to get to the bottom of the issue. Sorry you are having such a frustrating time! Good luck figuring it out.
@Jared Bobier &@Michael Navarro - Looking at the picture for his pedal board, it looks as if the junction box has a spot to daisy chain the power supply. Thats just my guess
Great informative video, but I too was wondering how all the pedals were being powered. Couldn't see too many distributors on the board if you were still using gig rig. Thanks again for taking time to do this!
Jeffrey, appears those looper switches are clickless? Any issues with a split second sound cut out when engaging them? Curious, I have a new Walrus Audio Transit looper that is clickless and it cuts out slightly when engaging. Walrus Audio said sorry, nothing we can do and that's how those switches just are? Thx, just curious.
Hey man, when I got the DPC8EZ it was doing the same thing so I contact Disaster Area and they called it their "automatic noise reduction" but on this looper you can either turn it on or off. Maybe the Walrus one doesn't have this feature? Anyway, on this one you can turn it off. Hope this helps.
+Juan Lopez The one that theGigRig sells... it brain is called the generator and there are a bunch of small modules that you add to it for various pedals etc.
In 20 years kids will laugh at how we stomped on pedals and made complicated rigs like this. It'll be like looking back at switchboard operators for phones.
Hello Jeffery thanks for the insight. I a guitarist in a small church in Aust. and wish to add testy sound to our worship. unfortunately I can't afford to buy all the needed gear now. I have Hall of fame reverb, a small delay pedal, vox VT20, compressor and a volume pedal. I have been planning on buying timeline Delay. but wondering if there is a more important pedal I can buy to improve our worship as a lead player.
anthony serrato nah there's a level control on the deep six so that's just the way he has it set it up. It's probably not exactly set up for how he plays live anyway
Good stuff for a (live recording album), it looks very complicated to memorize the presets for each song specially if you play different songs at church every Sunday, and I also think it takes time to program the presets of each song. I rather play live and experience with new sounds and combination of pedal effects on live performances.
There is a very good alternative to these Disaster Area controllers: Morningstar MC6. The things he described can easily be done with the MC6 right out of the box, plus it is smaller in size. Just saying ;)
This is a VERY good set-up, however it has its own problems. This seems very complicated, but hey this is his stuff, he can do whatever he wants. I have a pretty similar setup, but I got two good multi-effect pedals and two drive pedals. Right now I have the Line6 m13, digitech element xp, Boss sd-1 and tc-electronic Mojo Mojo. I like this setup because I can essentially do the same things as him but I believe it's wayyy cheaper (Still not at all cheap). My m13 basically holds all the comps., wet effects and pog like effects and everything, then the digitech is basically my Eq, and gives my guitar more color if it's a darker guitar. (Basically acts like the Rc booster). So keep pretty standard drive settings and swap through banks on the multi effect pedals. Down side of this setup is... if you don't choose your multi effects wisely, you might be able to get the tone you want. But check out the m13, it's an AWESOME pedal!! Hope this could possibly help give someone ideas for the pb setup :) God bless
dude your life would be WAY EASIER if you used the musicomlab for midi and looping then you could just hit one button it would let you choose whatever pedal you want with whatever preset on the timeline and bigsky so lets say you want like the comp, with specific timeline preset and bigsky preset you hit one button and it changes all them at once.
For me, it's too complicated , too many layers to negotiate. For you, I can see it is gig specific, to have specific settings for specific sets. Good on you for creating a custom rig for what you do.
If you're in your own band, or are in a band where the arrangements (or vocalist) are flexible, you can get away with that. In the hired gun world, it may not be your choice. Many pro gigs you are expected to reproduce the same song every song, every night.
