Robert Russell: My Pedal Board For A Vintage Inspired Guitar Sound

In this video I go through the pedals in my custom made, stereo pedal board. I discuss delay settings as well as reverb, overdrive and other effects for a vintage or rockabilly inspired guitar sound. (With ability to tap speeds and turn on and off multiple effects easily)
Now, (of course) you don't need pedals to play perfectly traditional rockabilly music... but I'm not trying to do that. (Though I’m sure I’ll continue to get rockabilly-splained in the comments) …I'm just as influenced by huge cinematic bands like Pink Floyd and the Cure, as well as Indie Rock, Punk, Shoegaze, Surf Guitar, Jazz, Swing, and even singer songwriter stuff from multiple decades... so I'm just combining things I love and making my own thing out of it. Music does not have rules. The legends broke rules and used contemporary gear for their time... so in my opinion, it's fine to use whatever you want, and do whatever you want, as long as you are happy doing it.
Enjoying a style of music and incorporating it into your style does not mean you have reenact the past. (Though I do enjoy artists who do that too!)
Anyway:
I also discuss some basics for beginners, skip forward if you just wanna hear pedals.
Featured pedals include: Keely limiting amplifier, Keeley Memphis Sun, Strymon Blue Sky, Strymon Sunset Dual Overdrive, Tavo Vega Nocturne Atomic Brain, Mooer Red Truck, and the Shure GLD16 wireless and tuner. I use my Epiphone Sheraton 335 with Brian Setzer TV jones pickups, and a Bigsby. The amp is a Vox mini3.
I just use my board to record, and it allows quick changes with diverse and nuanced results.
...oh and it's fun.

Great sound man! I have to say that I noticed the little Vox sitting there and thought you may surprise us at the end but it sounded so good, I was like, nah... he must be playing through the Crate :-D I love how you have the little glue on "jewels" to help you keep your knobs and switches set to your favorite setting. I have not thought of that before but it's genius. I've previously used a pencil to put little dash markings but you can't really see those in poor lighting. My daughter has taken to putting stickers and some of these jewels on my pedals so maybe I'll have to just rearrange them.

Enjoyed this video a lot, thanks! Great to see what pedals other rockabilly players have found to play with, and it sounds great!! 😎👍 (A few negative replies here; weird; why is it hard to understand music is about having fun???! Robert couldn’t have been clearer about the context; lighten up folks!!!)

Thanks! And yeah, agreed. Making vids is almost not fun because it just sets you up to be attacked to some extent. Ha… there is even a mean spirited comment from a player that I sort of looked up to and learned from in a “how to” vid from 20 years ago… depressing. I was clear, but I don’t think some folks want that to matter, as much as they want to own and control something that can have neither. “…still a man hears what he wants to hear, And disregards the rest.” Anyway, comments like yours make it worth it. Thanks. Really! …and happy new year.

I think the Preamp pedal plays a lot into your sound. Ive been debating between getting the Atomic Brain Preamp or the whole Mystery Brain. I also want his Jr Barnyard. I like to play Rockabilly, Surf, Blues, and 50s RnR. My previous pedal board was all Boss: DD3 digital delay, TR2 tremolo, and RV6 reverb. For awhile I used just the JHS Milkman or Keeley Memphis Sun. My current board is TC Electronic Spark full size Boost used as a light overdrive, Lovepedal Echophonic tape delay, and Keeley TremoVerb tremolo and reverb. If I get the Mystery Brain and Jr Barnyard that will knock the Lovepedal and TC Electronic off the board. It's fun to go down the rabbit hole of chasing a sound.

Hey man been playing rockabilly guitar for the past few years now but only thorght about getting pedals to improve the sound the other day what would you recommend for the first 2 pedals cheers mate
@robertrussell2717
@robertrussell2717 4 года назад
Tough question! Pedals are such a secondary part of playing, and your sound is such a personal thing, it’s difficult to say what you should get. (What would be right for you) I’d start with looking at the songs you play and decide if you want something that accentuates parts like a tremolo, delay, or reverb. ...or do you want more of an overall effect like a compressor or boost? (More of an always on utility) ...The nocturne pedals are cool. (Tavo Vega) Like a lucky rabbits foot for rockabilly. The Keely limiting amplifier is pretty great... Perhaps a 3 in one pedal like the Analog Alien Rumble Seat Pedal would be a great way to start? It costs a lot, but it’s like a mini pedalboard in one box. ...or, just check out delay pedals that have tap function. I hope this is helpful. :)

hello robert greetings from argentina ... I love the sound you get, I wanted to know if in addition to the pedals you use some emulation program ... and if it is not like that ... I would like you to build some preset for guitar program .. It would be very helpful, I love your videos.

@robertrussell2717 5 лет назад
When recording scratch tracks in pro tools I use Amplitube, with fender style amps and their pedal selection. (And then CLA plugins to fatten things up) ...But I have not tried to use anything like that to play with a band or anything like that. I can't build an emulator... I dunno how. :)

If you do, I hope you like it! I’m really pushing my self to get better and that record is definitely a snapshot in time. I hope to make another album next year. All the experiments with cover songs since, plus now some actual training from an online guitar mastery course, it should be a better... I had never had any real lessons or a guitar mentor, so hopefully it makes difference. We’ll see. :)

There's a lot of pedals like that; demos good, maybe even initially sounds good by itself, but in a chain? NSM. The Keeley stuff is like that.I've tried a bunch of their product, but have kept nothing.If you dig the intended sound, highly recommend Oil Can delay, - Adineko and Black Fountain.

Do you use the mini board for the same kind of music? I'm on the hunt for a mini delay to give me the rockabilly sound. Haven't narrowed it down yet.
@robertrussell2717
@robertrussell2717 5 лет назад
Billy Chase: I do, except that once I had the big board, I pretty much stopped using the mini board. It’s sort of there if friends come over to play... If you have room, the echoplex seems cool. I want to get one. The mini pedals I have for that mini board are low budget, but get the job done. The CNZ tape echo and the Rowin analog delay have been used in that board. I don’t use them a lot so I’m not sure how much of a beating they can take or how long they last.

@@robertrussell2717 If you ever demo your mini board, I'd tune in. You make your pedals sound great. I've been reworking my board for some 50s and 60s tones with a swap out on my fuzz to do modern rock. I also decided to minimize my board to a Pedaltrain Nano. So I can have 4-5 pedals max. [Fuzzes: Wire Instruments Fuzz OR Catalinbread Fuzzbrite] > MXR Phase 95 > Keeley Rat > EHX Oceans 11 > Tone King Imperial amp. My tuner is the headstock Polytune. The Oceans 11 does a pretty convincing drippy spring reverb for surf music. Ideally, I am moving into surf, spaghetti western, 60s fuzz psych, with some rockabilly influence. Though I have a lot of woodshedding to do.
@robertrussell2717
@robertrussell2717 5 лет назад
That sounds awesome. Those tone king amps seem really cool. I’ve only seen RU-vid demos... I was considering getting a Mesaboogie California Tweed. I will do a vid for that mini pedal board. Good idea. ...I already feel the bug to make another board. :) Maybe with the alien analog rumble seat. I do want to keep going with tap controlled pedals and stereo signals. (Might get 2 California tweeds) ...Is oceans 11 a stereo pedal?
@inkeye1
@inkeye1 5 лет назад
@@robertrussell2717 The Oceans 11 is mono. I only use it for the Spring Reverb sound and drive the Rat into it. Pretty close to Dick Dale's Misirlou tone. The Rumble Seat pedal and the Mystery Brain pedal demos I've seen have been great (although out of my range since I'm not a dedicated rockabilly style player). Looking forward to your demo.

Thanks! It's a Crate Palomino. It was my brother in-laws. When he had a heart attack a few years back, my sister gave it to me. That little amp means a lot to me. I just sort of keep as part of my life. I don't really use it often. I'm moving on to using a Mesa California Tweed Combo now... In fact it arrives Tuesday. I'm excited about that.

I’ll try. The power switch in it failed a couple weeks ago, so I’d have to bypass it, or actually get it fixed. I was using it a bunch for a guitar mastery lesson series I’m taking... it’s just really straight forward though, except for the Moore Radar at the end... and I switched the boss wireless to a looper pedal at the front of the chain.

Mainly because I like to change things while the song is playing, and pedals make that easier, and I just enjoy them. They are fun in my opinion. I’m not trying to authentically recreate, I’m just influenced by lots of vintage guitar sounds, and I like to apply them in this way. It’s all tech... some is just more vintage than others. Even pedals are vintage now.

This wasn't about getting a rockabilly tone. You used this video just to show off your pedal board. After all, you make it clear that you don't need all those pedals at the beginning of the video and then you go on to show is all those pedals that aren't needed. GET TO THE POINT! I had to turn this off when I saw I was wasting my time watching it.
@robertrussell2717
@robertrussell2717 3 года назад
I’m going to agree... the vid is not paced well. It’s one of the first ones I did, and I’ve learned a bit since then. I’m not really making vids right now because I just spent the last 5 months focused on playing better, and taking music theory classes. I do love pedals, probably to a fault, and I’ll probably continue to annoy folks with more vintage inspired pedal vids... though perhaps much shorter and to the point. ...but they are clearly marked. This is my very modern pedal board that I layer up vintage inspired tones with. The title is not really a bait and switch. In any case... sorry to waste your time.
