Love the simple setup. Most of the time if I ever played out with a bunch of pedals I always ended up only using 1 or 2 the whole time anyway.

Outstanding good Job mate

Nice…keeping it simple. Good points about how little was used when this music was recorded.

Great vid Adrian, my Rockabilly (and Blues) Rig for home is Gretsch G2420 > Boss TR 2 Tremolo > Boss DD-3 Digital Delay > Orange Crush 12 Amp which has an overdrive pedal built in. I tend to play songs where effects are always on or always off so no need to tap pedals or turn knobs mid song. Keep on rocking and Cheers from Portland, Maine USA

Love to get ahold of a version of the Ray Butts Amp with the built-in tape echo...

Dude I love my Mystery Brain!!

Solid video.

Great video homie, last months I havend used any pedal other than my tuner. Just the amp and the guitar.

Love the guitar, what Gretsch model is it. Thanks mate!

Love it. I'm all about simple setups. Hell I've rewired most of my guitars to have just a single volume and tone knob. If I ever build my dream guitar it will be like Setzer's hotrod, just a volume knob and selector switch. I would have never guessed that you didn't use reverb though- Pretty cool!

Subscribed, anyone whos into the X rays has got to be worth a follow

Another great video! I use a mystery brain for delay and a rumble seat for drive. That with a vox amp is a perfect combination for my ears

Adrian - great, informative video as usual. Thought you were a Strymon delay guy though?

After several pedals I've found my paradise with an old zoom G2 with a Blues Junior and a new Mustang Lt25 😁

Just turned on this video....the description is a lot of what I wanna hear about!

Simple is best. I absolutely loved my old boss compressor sustainer with the treble switch. I used it as a boost on my single 12 fender deluxe, with a Roland space echo. Superb sounds even on a Les Paul. Which I absolutely hate as a guitar player. Cheers from Mississippi.

Cheers from New Zealand, just subbed , would love to interview you

Hi Guys.. My 2-cents...Yes all Scotty Moore had was a clean Fender Champ in those early Sun records through his Gibson ES295 essentially a Gold es175...Sam Phillips added the slap back through his extra tape head...Nice one Sam...Although at the time of recording Mystery Train He had his newly purchased Super L400...it had Staple magnets p90s if I'm not mistaken so all along he used single coils in the early Elvis Presley Sun records but by that time was using or at least on Mystery Train flat wound strings and his prized Ray Butts Tube Amplifier with built-in tape eko....the tape being around strong speaker magnets and strong current along with tape lag also created a chours effect...But in the end all you need in my opinion is a good clean single coil sound hooked up to a fast single slap back eko and you have it...I use the cleanest amp setting with my favourite slap back pedal a vintage Analogue Ibanez ADL pedal...I have tried many many pedals all do the job...but my favourite one is the ADL because of its softness and no matter how you hear it it always never over does the slap back...set the ADL right ...and you'll think you were using tape...Also Scotty Moore in his last few years was actually seen using a Boss DD3 and a Boss Chours in his chain up to his light weight but useful Peavey Classic 30...Thanks for reading...Adrian thanks as always for your informative and entertaining videos...Cheers Frank "The Memphis Suns"

I’ve just bought my first Gretsch guitar as I’ve been into Rockabilly since my teens but never got into the tech side, so I’m still a novice there. My amp is a Fender Mustang V2 which gives me a little echo.. but I don’t think it’s enough, do you think I’d still need the delay pedal to brighten up that Rockabilly sound? Thanks in advance

Im thinking of getting an upright bass to play rockabilly, iv played bass for many years but fancy a new challenge, any advice on where to buy, what to look for, pickups? Tutors? Thanks ian

My guess is a delay...compressor...a tube screamer type overdrive and a trem pedal

Compressor. Dyno brain pre amp. tape echo. reverb tremolo

what about with Bass what are some good choices for Rockabilly

I run my guitar into my tuner, intk my comptessor, to my DDelay into my amp. Is thee a better arrangement. Spmetmes it sounds muddy

Nocturne Mistery Brain is the pedal you want

I knew there had to be a brain here somewhere!

What's in the box? Gwyneth Paltrow.

You need a really good chorus pedal, a lot of reverb and a hollow body at minimum.... if you're playing upright bass, you NEED a preamp and gut strings, there is NO SUBSTITUTE.

You missed the middle word in the X Ray Cat Trio song...

What's in the box? If it was an international tour I'd bet on a jar of vegemite

If you have a decent amp...you shouldn't need any pedals for Rockabilly.
