The musical multi-instrumentalist chronicles his pedal choices for MMJ and then shows off key sounds he needs onstage.
My Morning Jacket’s Is, their 10th album, released on March 21, and as we reported in our feature on the band in our May print issue, it showcased a band exercising their classic strengths as well as newfound vision and curiosity. Helmed by superstar producer Brendan O’Brien, Is finds MMJ at their anthemic, psychedelic best.
We caught up with Carl Broemel for a Rig Rundown back in 2015, but on this year’s tour, PG’s John Bohlinger checked in with all three axemen—Jim James, Broemel, and bassist Tom Blankenship—to hear about their road rigs. In Broemel’s estimation, they’re lazy—they just like to bring everything.

Not sure if he knows, or if XTS informed him, but the Origin pedal already has a high quality buffer. I wouldn’t imagine he would need a buffer before another buffer in front.
I saw Carl years ago as a solo act. He was incredibly humble and thanked the venue management for having coffee/food ready for them. Really made an impression on me as to what kind of guy he is.
His set ripped! He played an amazing version of Santo & Johnny’s “Sleepwalk”.
People are hating on this dude's rig being too complicated but that's a sick ass pedalboard.
Totally right about the phasers. Every time I try to use a digital phaser it never sounds as good as my phase 90.
Not to pick on this guy in particular but—— Imagine if today’s music was as interesting, creative and complex as the boards musicians’ so carefully and intricately put together?
This is a "I won the lottery" type board.
this guy must be plugged in to all the guitar pedal shows on youtube.. takes one to know one 😀
This guy just needs to plug straight into an amp.
The necessary is often overlooked in search for the novel.
Utterly dimed out That Pedal Show fan board lolz
