I’ll never understand Isaiah using your services.
Mason! Finally building my dream pedal board and I’ve purchased all the overdrive pedals and the compressor on this build! By chance, do you remember the exact signal path? Any pedals that were considered “always on” by Sharkey? Did you recognize a preferred overdrive stack for his gain staging?
Can You build me a pedalboard?
Isaiah Sharkey's casual skill is intimidating AF. What a player.
Curious about the Nightshade – is it tubescreamer-ish? Great vid!
That intro is hilarious haha
Thanks to this video I learned about the existence of the neutrik powercon and the pedal risers from best tronics (in case it works for someone, i have used the micro module punched plate from temple audio). Nice video btw!!
How you choose which power supply would suit the best on a pedalboard? Like on this video you picked the zuma but on others the 1spot
Where can I listen to the song at 2:35 … so good
What kinda fuzz?
Nice. Isaiah is one of the nicest guitar players around
Is Rig Doctor's intro referencing to Nathan For You?
What was that little Marshall he was plugged into?
Hey Mason – What did you guys use to Extend the Rubber-feet on the Pedaltrain (for more ground clearance?) – I may need to do that? – to my little Pedaltrain Nano Acoustic board. Looks neat, clean and sounds fantastic.
I remember meeting him in PHX, back in August 2017, a day before Mayer's concert, I was in a guitar center looking for something, and I started going through some Mayer songs on a beautiful strat I saw, he heard me and came by, as he started asking me questions I couldn't help but think "why is he so familiar", as soon as I told him we were there for the concert, he told me "oh yeah I'm playing there" and I knew it, I had just begun listening to him, and it was amazing meeting him and hear him play, he's so humble and cool.
What’s the voltage did he choose on this Steel Strings, 9v or 18v?
Thanks!
What’s the amp? Thanks
El cable del wah pasa por abajo, malísimo che, pensar que a estos tipos le pagan para hacer estás burradas
Love Isaia's guitar! Tasty player, killer wah sound too
For what it's worth: On your banner, you misspelled a word.
It's Weekly, not "Weekley"
(Everything else about this channel is literally perfect)
killer …Nice Job…love it no Helix
Thanks for the great info but slow down those camera moves brother or get a little gimbal of some sort!
do you have a video about whats the best way to cram a pedalboard?
Is it the day before he play with david ryan harris? Cuz the outfit and the guitar is exactly the same
Great layout. Guitar type?
Wah after tuner?
Question…what can l BUY Tim Marco’s music??? He’s breaking my neck over here ????????????????????
We saw Isiah touring with John Mayer in 2019. Our seats were right in front of Isiah, five rows from the front. I was just blown away by his talent. He is awesome.
Nicely done! Best board I have seen in a while. Including TGP!!
Love ya Isaiah. Sorry about copping your licks!
gigrig power man. It's the best. It's versatile and small. Can always add to it. I would never go with another brand!
I normally would never a trust a rig built a day before a tour, but this is a whole other level. The speakon connector for the power supplies?? BRUH
Can anyone tell me what type of way pedal that is? WAs perfect.
Love Sharkey! He is so amazing in John Mayer's touring band
hey Rig Doctor: I think will be great to teach us how to attach a power supply to a flat board… at least for me… how to attach my zuma to my flat board! How to build those custom brackets… Thanks Rig Doctor… you rock !!!! Big hug from Colombia !
I need handles on my pedal board. So hard to get out of the case live, just grabbing onto the inside. With it being so fast, it’s torture.
Uncle Mason….I think the answer is 'yes' but will Dual Lock work with the velcro that comes with PT boards? I use the loop side on my PT's and would like to start using Dual Lock if possible.
I'm always astonished by Sharkey's playing, and I'm delighted to see his taste in pedals vibes with the kind of pedals I enjoy (big Chase Bliss fanboy over here, so I was stoked to see the Warped Vinyl and Tonal Recall on his setup…). If he uses them, maybe I'm on the right track! 😉
