Pedalboard Nov 2012 

Burgs... IMHO this is one of the best sounding "compilations" you've made so far! You always do good though... so probably I feel a boost of appreciation coming also from the couple Stratocaster-Supersonic. They are a personal fav. of mine.

Wow that Rockett Blue note sounds phenomenal! Great rig, thanks for the demo!

I like how your Board has evolved over the years.

Brett, question for you. Are you running your Elements at 9 or 18 volts. I have one too, and I've never been able to get it sounding even remotely close to what yours sounds like. I love the tone you get with it, but I can't quite get there. Curious what voltage you're at. Thanks!

The Chrono, Compressor and WH-1 all run off the 12V feed with a daisy chain. Everything else draws minimal current so they're daisy chained with a Diago PS02 daisy chain. The Elements runs off the 18V feed. I made a spread sheet detailing the current draw of each pedal before I put it together so I could economise and get it right. It worked!

Awesome. Thanks. I was hoping that was the case. Thanks for the fast response. I really enjoy your videos.

That sound is nice! Sparkly! The pedals sound nice with it and the colors are pretty. I just ordered a 22W Supersonic and I can't wait until it arrives. I have been using a Silverface Twin, but I have to abuse it using a distortion. The Supersonic with the clean/burn channel + effects loop will change my set up. Your pedals sound great in this amp. Are you using the effects loop for any of them? How do you like that little what pedal? Is it easy to use? A pedal you might like, the Pickle Vibe

Hey Brett, what sized pedaltrains is this? I want to know because I'm about to order one and I just have a few more pedals that I use live than you do and see if I can acquire the appropriate size up.

Killer board, I really love what you did with that Maxon AF-9 Auto Filter

Nice demo as always pal - lots of great useable sounds in there - especially loved the clean tone with comp, wamp and delay - sweet. Hope you have a great Christmas pal, best wishes to you the missus and of course the ever brilliant suds - cheers S.P.

Hey Burgs, how are you running all of those pedals off of the one power supply? And if you're daisy chaining, what cable are you using for that?

Hi Tim, it's a Japanese one-of built by Kohei Murakami. I've amended the description notes beneath the video to give you some leads. Cheers, B.

Brett--what are your thoughts on a loop switcher? I have the same board (a PT-2, right?) and I thought it might be much easier to incorporate a switcher and do less tap dancing.

A slightly more esoteric spread, nice! GAS - welcome back old friend.

Hi Burt, For high gain applications would you keep in your board The elements or the Knebworth II? Best

Thanks! NZ on 18 Jan, I believe. Day On The Green with Elvis Costello and some shifty locals. Cheers, B.

Wow, Great sound! Do you still have the Giggity and Sparkle Drive Mod? I'm interested in hearing them through the Supersonic 22!

Brett that auto filter sounds amazing - better than my Meatball which says a lot!

don't know if I can justify spending $250 on a compressor, but those indicator lights are pretty sweet!

How are you powering all of these off of one Iso-5? splitting the outlets?

Brett. where did that CER pedal come from? I cant find it on the planet... Take care TC

That's a beauty power supply man. I see it's been a while since you've posted this but I thought I throw a question at ya. NOISE! I have been struggling with pedal noise forever so I bought a Godlyke Powerall. Supposed to be the cat's ass so I thought but I can't even power my Boss RC-3 without major noise/hiss. My guitar is completely quiet and so is my amp. Would it make a difference if I got a Pedal Power instead? I don't want to waste my time or money but nobody seems to have the answer. thx

Hello. Can you tell us how you have distributed power supply ISO 5 on the pedal. Thanks

Apparently they had the same effect on Puma's customers. Hence the bargain bin. Most unusual for a Philippe Starck design. Comfy, though.

No joke, I've been playing that riff you do at the start of the video when you engage the compressor since you did that Johnson J-Station video :P

Brett, ever since I heard your (one off CER Drive), I've just got to have one. Can you recommend a pedal that gets close to it or just sell me yours? Please!!!!!

I would love to have the Blue Note, it has the sound that I'm looking for so many years.

I just saw James Reyne's "Hammerhead" video on Rage (Aus TV) & went looking in the background to see if you might be in the vid....Not sure? Years ago & lots of hairstyles later!

Sounds awesome Burgs. Where in NZ are you visiting? Would be keen to check your band out :)

HI Brett and the Kingman family welcome to 2013, Brett what songs did you play with this pedal board setup. If that's ok. Regards Grant.

Spot on. It's fun to watch, though. :) Cheers, B.

The Giggity has been adopted by Mr Shaun Klinger. I'll probably never see it again..! The Sparkle Drive is still with me and waiting patiently for a demo (along with many others.. sorry!) Thanks for the kind words. :) B

The Klon has a 'voice' as well, so that comparison is a little odd. The Rook and Tim would be a better comparison.

Holy Auto Filter to Elements to Delay Brettman! That is a beefy sound.

Good video. I had to laugh when the camera panned out to the wide room shot with all your gear. LOL I bet your Wife doesn't even go in there, or she say's "How cann you walk in here" ;-) You like the Blue Note or the Rook better?

That's exactly what she says, too. Drives her nuts (and me). The Rook and Blue Note can't be compared because the Rook is "transparent" while the Blue Note unabashedly adds something (in my opinion). I go for the Blue Note's voice.

Sure thing. I'd like to experiment with one for a little longer. Again, expense, accessibility... Greetings from Australia! :)

They do one, it's called the Little Loudmouth. I named it! :)

Burgs. Do you think the Kemper profiling amp will change the industry LOTS, like TOTALLY?

How do you like the Super Sonics Brett ? Thanks

Thanks I'll check that out. I appreciate the response.

One ISO-5, two daisy chains, two other feeds to separate pedals (Elements and Tuner)

hey brett! you should check out the warm drive by nx generation.. not by any means an expensive pedal, but sounds amazing! i showed it to a couple of boutique pedal geeks and they love it too

...and 5:40-47 was a glimpse of paradise!

I can see that. But the machine IS very capable... We'll talk in 3 years. Greetings from Berlin!

Probably a daisy chain, a pedal power has sufficient current to power more than a few pedals from one outlet ;-)

That Nirvana Chorus must be perfect for those Hammerhead tones, Burgs

Totally agree. Keep it up. Always looking for great tone, even if ill always sound like me.

is it the Pedaltrain 2 ?

personally I'd put the trem after the delay . . . but then again, what do i know

Nope, wah and phaser before dirt; trem, chorus and delay after. There are no rules anyway.

18V for the Elements. Settings as shown. :)

that wah is TINAAAYYYY

What a weird sequence. Mods before dirt?

Yes.

Good playing.

Yep, I've yet to hear a better auto-filter. And I've tried many. Classic old-school clout.

No, hardly at all. It's still inaccessible and a pain in the ass for many. That said, I haven't tried one for longer than 10 minutes at a trade show.

That must be why people compare the Rook to the Klon Klones out there.

Those space boots made me feel ill....

Shit You also got the ESP Stephen Carpenter Tele!!!! (5:43) :)

Agree the boots are better than bare feet! I hate pedal demos done barefoot!

There is a funny thing about all these gear review videos. Weather its Bret or Gearmandude or Rob Chappers or Andy at proguitarshop, they always sound like themselves. Maybe people should just find gear that sounds good and write songs. It seems like no matter how hard you try you always end up sounding like your self. Trey anastasio has a crazy touring rig. But on all the Letterman videos on youtbe he always sounds like trey even though he is playing through some shit amp.
