Fuckin hell...I wouldn't even be able to afford all the cables he must have running through that beast of a rig. Really did not expect him to be running such a extravagant rig. Assumed he must just be running an axe.
+undermybed1 context is a fine thing. I imagine he means $1000 AUD, which is likely to be 700-800-ish USD. Plus, he's used to USA guitars, so an Indonesian guitar is definitely a step down price wise.
+The Trendkiller He seems to have a lot of pointless wiring and weird shit he probably doesnt need. I mean I realise he needs a lot of different delay tempos and all that but fuck. If Tom Morello can manage with like 4 pedals...
+The Trendkiller +WillyT The entire setup sure looks complex, but in the end almost half of the stuff on there is there to create more control or make Josh's life easier. Noise gate, wireless, tap-tempo, midi-controllers, tuner, volume pedal, input selector, DI-box, line mixer, power supply, ... All this stuff doesn't affect his tone but make's switching tones just a lot easier and controlled. Playing all around the world also requires adjustments to your board so you're sure it will behave the same way whichever country/continent you play in. Also, we've met loads of guitarist with the same amount of pedals but who leave a lot of those off stage or near the amp. Josh just prefers to have them in front of him so he has full controll.
+Tune Up +Tune Up Thanks a lot! You are 100% right. I see a lot of guitarists using the Kemper but have it off stage. And after a better look at it, whilst it isn't actually a necessity, what he has would certainly make stuff a lot easier. I'm old fashioned I suppose, I like clicking pedals in between songs and fiddling a bit. But I suppose were I In his position I'd prefer something like what he has.
Honestly I think this is a great implementation of a Kemper/modelling amp. Really utilizing the full breadth of capabilities with such a versatile piece of kit
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, and it was a bit sad to read but Tom of Architects passed away from cancer.. a few days before you replied to this comment actually 'Tune Up'... It would be awesome to have Adam or someone break down Tom's gear to continue his sound but yeah, didn't wanna see this comment thread keep going if you guys didn't know..
+kyleweeksy Hi Kyle. We heard the sad news about Tom Searle passing away. We're devastated. Architects is one of the prime reasons we at Tune Up listen to the music we listen to. They're an amazing band and have shifted the approach to modern metal and music in general. He will be missed but remembered. Our hearts go out to Tom's family, friends, loved ones, ... ps.: Not that it mathers at all, but we posted that reply 5 days before Tom passed away. Sorry of it caused any confusion or misunderstanding.
he really knows his shit man i got lost after the first pedal board i really wanna learn this stuff but its just way too expensive for me at the moment i cant mess with it, i only have a zoom G1Xon pedal & to be honest it does a fair job but it could sound better
Check out some of Joyo's stuff. See if there's anything that interests you. Good pedals for budget players. Just make sure to do your research on the pedals!
Saw them live, Josh walks on notices something doesn't work, takes his tech 6 songs to fix it. I asked Josh afterwards and he said it was just his wireless
+Joel Moore yeah, it's easier to deny the authenticity of another poster, than to simply realize that you misheard what Josh said in the video(probably due to his thick accent). You do know the TSA does randomly check any "checked" luggage, and they will leave you a note saying they did so. So they checked this guitar case, and then didn't take any care to secure the guitar back in place. This is not uncommon.
+Ben Ferguson Thanks a lot Ben! We've interviewed Jon and Alex as well. Their episode will air later in the series. Hope you like the rest of our videos!
Aaaaaaand this is why I use a POD HD500 for my effects hahaha. The white is a SLATHX. I was thinking about it but opted for the Jackson DKA7. Bolt-ons, planet waves locking, and Dimarzios.
@Tune Up Do you know if they use any kind of compression on their live rigs? As far as I've seen they don't use any compression pedals, but what's happening in the kemper? It would be great if you could answer this! :)
+Tune Up i think ego kills guitar playing sure theyre great. but if you cant sound good straight into a head with nothing else then this is a waste of time. you really dont need that many pedals to make the sounds he does
