It's great to see Billy Bob Thornton out there interviewing Guitar players.
I feel better now hearing Tim Pierce changes his pedalboard constantly like I do. Especially my Overdrives. I like transparant Overdrives, so of course I have three of them. Right now, I'm stacking all three of them together. I first go into a Blues Driver (Waza version), then an Octonaut Hyperdrive (which I currently like better than the BD-2w), then it goes into a Wampler Tumnus Deluxe. I keep the Tumnus always ON, using it more for it's EQ capabilities than for it's Overdrive (but it does nicely take a low volume setting on my Princeton amp to the edge of break-up). Then my main Overdive grit comes from the Octonaut (which is my newest and current favorite). The BD-2w I now use as a final extra Boost for lead only. And this current set-up has two other Overdrives staying on the shelf for now: a Tube Screamer and a TC Electronics Mojo-Mojo (which were working just great, I thought, a few months ago combined with the Wampler Tumnus). Then some nights playing out I go to just stacking two transparant overdrives, and in place of the third I put a Keeley compressor at the front of the chain and I think that's the best set-up for my tone (until the next gig). But everytime I hear it lately, I wish I had my friend Chuck's Suhr Shiba Drive on my pedalboard, and keep eyeing those Andy Timmons signature overdrives (like the AT@+). I'm obsessed with trying to find the perfect tone, and never being satisfied with what I have for very long.
It's fun to try the different combinations, in different orders. But it's so damn frustrating at the same time that I'm never satisfied with my set-up for very long. Anyway, hearing a real Pro like Tim Pierce having the same obsessive-compulsive disorder is a perhaps a good sign that maybe I'm not that crazy after all (or perhaps we both are, IDK)!
Where is the Tim Pierce signature pedal by Rockett?
Lean on the OD pedals! No AT+
so regarding the cool expression trick… where are your trails? the steep cutoff sounds a little unnatural for recording use.
One time I met this cat at a Holiday Inn Express. I told him I was a huge fan. He was very nice and we were at a vending machine, and he bought me a tuna fish sandwich. He asked me, what is the difference between a piano and a fish? I said, I don't know? He said. "You can't tune-a-fish."
Edge of seasick! ????
I love the dingbat… I’ve used one for years. It has been a work horse
Tim is a wizard.
And yeah, guitarists are never happy with their rigs. They are always changing it. Until the day they die.
Was hoping to see the King Tone Mini Fuzz on there…
Fairfield Circuitry makes a great compressor too (the Accountant). Just a volume knob and a couple 3 position toggle switches. Perfect compressor for those of us who don't fully understand compressors.
I daydream about having Premier Guitar interviewing me about my pedalboard. Maybe one day.
He is a great guitar player but personally i'm not a fan of his sound here. It's buried in too much delay and reverb.
I am pretty sure companies pay him for spots on his board.
awesome man, awesome guitar, awesome pedalboard, I don't believe ????????????????????✌✌????
I don't play out at this time. So my board has been the same going on 2 yrs. Don't actually have another board but do sometimes set up pedals and pwr unit just to goof with in my jam room. Now that will change sometimes for each song. I'm not saying that I got the best pedals or there is nothing better but having a pretty cool board, now I just want to learn to play these pedals the way and sound I want. To help the situation I use a AKG wireless bug into board. It's a battery powered receiver that hooks to my board and coming out to amp is a Getaria 5.8 rechargeable wireless system. So I pick up board and set on desk to turn knobs in easy reach. Write down settings and really get to know where each sound is exactly.
Sounds amazing!
