Was that Cali 76 compressor at the beginning of the pedal chain…?
Omg didn't think the patient would make it. Amazing life saving surgery!
Another successful, emergency surgery!
Great playing too man!
Watching again just for fun and realizing that people outside ware thinking. Damn, Scofield digs D'Angelo 10:10
Dayum! 50 minutes. On your knees. Incredibly low light. Soldering? Stripping short wires? That whole situation is more terrifying and claustrophobic to watch than a spelunker's GoGpro. Super nice job!
Would cost me a week!!
BEAST
Your The best Rig Doctor!!! Thank you for those amazing videos!
Rig Doctor 2020
You need to start selling branded tone-brushes!
You losed his pick (it was in guitar strings first fret) ????????♂️????
Mason, hope your back is ok after that excursion! Great work!!!
Good vid
I like your "tone brush", is it NOS?
Great playing!
Is the “tone brush” literally just a paint brush?????lol
I heard that sneaky D'angelo!
Great tips, can't wait to incorporate them on my board!!
Learning a lot from you regarding pedalboard maintenance. I have a big board with One Control OC10… have started to think the tone isn't as fantastic… I bet Deoxit D5 in all the inputs etc would do the job.
New sub! Saw the work you did with Rhett and my good friend Anthony and damn you truly have a passion and talent for what you do. Keep it up!
My dream is to send you my board… Got an ES-5, couple Strymons, drives, powered by a VL Digital and VL 2 plus and still have noise when engaging my timeline. I tried everything to fix the problem but I just can't figure it out…
Good video
Thank You
Which contact cleaner do you use?
I can imagine the pressure doing this right before a gig. Good job.
Very cool episode!! Thanks for showing us which Deoxit to buy! I always seem to have something going on with my pedalboard. This will help abundantly! Cheers!
Doing this right before a show? Lol I wouldn't do that.
All of this in the dark! This is like the extreme level of provicency! (Next time blindfolded? XD)
Can of compressed air per Silas. Good call.
I've even gone as far as resoldering everything that can be soldered from the guitar to the amp input. That makes a huge difference if you care to put in the time.
Canned air.
Great video Mason! We now have every pedal you've made in our studio… great stuff!
Scofield gets one of the BEST techs in the world fixing his board while he warms up/snacks back stage…. we get some drunk goober spilling beer & drool on our board—DURING a song!
Great tips….and I love the Tone Brush!
Hey, when my volume pedal is approaching full sweep I hear a lot of hum, any idea what the issues may be? It’s an Ernie Ball VpJr 250k
Tone Brush… Wait, is it made of Ash or Alder???
Dude your episodes are incredibly useful and good but the text interaction on the left, it's quite annoying and distracting ,it takes a lot from the experience of watching you & learning …
Love your videos! Quick question…regarding all the new custom solder-less cable kits…Roland has one and I believe D'Addario has one, Mogami does, found a generic one on Amazon for $39…any preference?
