Is not the tone he shows that I liked, is the way he thought about his sounds. And I’m happy to see that is exactly my same approach to a sound, whether is a good or bad! Three, maybe nothing more than 4 stages and your gig is done!❤ and probably a Bacci Baritone guitar and his hands!😂
Larnell was a young student in a computer graphics class i taught, I also taught Math. At 16 years of age our school Bandleader - now deceased-told me Larnell is The One. He won first place in 3 Jazziz magazine world wide competitions. Oh yes, Did Not enter the one for drumming. School bandleader recorded and toured with the Beach Boys. Was also in Buddy Rich’s band. some great stories. He told me in his music career Maybe just Maybe a student of this caliber comes around once in ten years. I occasionally jammed with Larnell. He often played..piano!!!! His brother records with the world’s biggest pop star. The Weeknd😊
Most of social media is meant to sell you more things, but Mark is showing you with a couple basic pedals you can get enough to do anything you need. Refreshing. And true. Reverb, drive, boost, tuner, guitar, amp. Already a lot
Behringer sells pedals that work very well, I have 6 and haven't had a problem with any of them... for about $30.oo bucks a piece. One can't play the headstock on a guitar and name brands aren't always better than the originals. That myth has been busted by the influx of Indonesian built instruments. Fight against guitar snobbery. The idea is to Play Music. haha
Ambient tones my fave. Love that red color with no pickguard. There's just something visually natural and pleasing without a pickguard. Nice Mark .. thank you.
This beautiful candy red PRS Fiore has a MusicMan scratch plate less look to it. Gosh, what an easy going and happy player Mark is. His instruction is on point and flavored with his joy of guitar. Thanks, GC for putting on these series of great musicians.
Mark Lettieri is the man! Loved this guy ever since seeing his super cool looping videos years ago and obviously love all his Snarky Pup, FF and solo stuff. Killer player and all around good guy
Great video. Mark is a killer player and a nice guy. I met him in Dallas after a gig. This was a fun and very enjoyable video. Stacking pedals is a a great way to get your own tone.
I really dig the mid-gain tone here and how the playing dynamics change the sound substantially. I’m not a guitarist, but could understand his explanations well. I saw Mark with Snarky Puppy about a year ago and wow what a great show. 10 guys packed on a small stage and everything was clean, tight, and sounded great.
Thank you Mark, your playing and knowledge is very impressive and inspiring... you're really doing the thing in the music business, wow. Humble and funny too, loved it.
I have PRS Fiore guitar and I can say that's very universal instrument with 11 pickup combinations. Mark with Paul designed fantastic guitar with very clean sound and great sustain.
Mark, I have been trying to reach the edge of break up which you have shown me so easily how to do. Many thanks I have it. Les Paul + Fender Delux reverb and tube screamer with Wampler echo. It is now exactly what I've wanted due to you.
I bought an HDRX 20 over a year ago and then the other day I'm watching a Mark Lettieri Group video and noticed he was using the same amp and lo and behold, here it is again! I can't say enough about how amazing this amp is. If you really crank it, it breaks up sooo nicely but it also has the most amazing cleans and I love the extra tone options. If you're looking for an amazing tube amp, get the HDRX 20.
i am indeed searching for an amp, can you play like at a bedroom level witch this amp ? i like the sound of this amp but i'm scared that it will be too loud ? Can u maybe give me your exeprience on that point ?
So signal chain also will make a big difference. What is in the effects loop versus what is in front of the amps pre amp, for instance. Although it isn’t obvious, the signal from the guitar seems to be: ML EQ drive -> HRM drive -> Halo delay -> Hall of Fame reverb to the PRS HDRX. There are a lot of colors in there that could come differently with an alternative pathway.
Love Mark’s work with Snarky Puppy. Fisrt time I’ve really heard the PRS Fiore in depth. Different from my PRS (US Silver Sky ahd a SC594) - reminds me more of my 1985 Fender HSS strat a lot
Wow, he’s a great guy, very nice and colloquial, he reveals all his Italian roots, which I love it. Useless to say, he’s also an unbelievable player and composer, go check “The Baritone Session Vol. II”, it’s an incredible album!❤❤❤❤
I recently bought an H90 and an HX Stomp, but I still prefer my OG TCE Hall of Fame's reverbs. The only Toneprint I ever loaded on it, was one by Paul Gilbert - for a Van Halen type sound. Definitely one of the best pedals I've ever bought, and I have many. It's just so easy to dial in, and super versatile.
It takes training your ears like a chef has trained his palette. The chef knows his ingredients applicability as a player should know what his boxes and knobs do. The chef has a vision on how his dish should taste and changes his ingredients accordingly as ingredient quality varies from place to place, kitchen to kitchen. A player also plays in different environments from bedrooms to clubs and its going to take different tweaks to get that sound you’re striving for in different settings. All of this comes from trial and error and knowledge of your boxes, amp and guitar settings.
Hmm . . . nothing bad here, but nothing new either. I'd really enjoy seeing someone at Mark's level of musical proficiency doing a deep dive in to something like the Roland GR-55. That machine still has sounds in it that no one has ever heard yet.
Great video. Thank you. What I see and hear in the tone of any blues player, is a fat mid-rangy and sometimes a nasal dark tune screamerish and dumbly sound. One thing that I noticed in 80's music, that in my opinion is the peak of electric guitar era, is the tones were very mid-scooped marshally sound that you can find in many iconic tracks. It was not bad if the gentleman was touch basing to that subject as well.
2 questions: has PRS fixed the design fail on you sig. model where the pickup switch chips away the finish when flipped all the way in either direction? And am I seeing this correctly? Do you have your dirt boxes AFTER your verb & delay boxes? I know of almost no players who do that. I had a pair of red Chuck's back in the late '80s. People take me more seriously in the gray pair I have now.
@@WhereSilenceDies It looks just the opposite . He even says "i start with the reverb." I know he meant to shape the sound, but .... Color me confused, too.
@@ZzzzzzzxxxzzzYZ4 it is a little confusing, but looking at the cables and where the in and output on these pedals are you will find it is guitar to drives and then to delay and reverb.
His tube amp is set so clean that the difference is probably negligible. The beauty of a "clean pedal platform" is that setting up your rig quickly is a piece of cake. Two cords, done.
Very much appreciate all the hard work and information. But why all the random camera cuts. Distracting from what you are saying. Just hold a shot. Especially when showing the pedals.

I mean, this guy is a pro and a legend and who the fuck am I, really? BUT, if I use that much ambience (delay AND reverb) with my high-gain sound, it turns into a mushy mess in a live band. For me, just a hair of reverb is enough.
