My suggestion: Micro Q tron-$95.80 Keeley tone workstation-$299.00 JRAD archer-$199.00 TC Alter Ego-$169.99 Boss TU-3-$99.99 Final Cost $863.78 Masons suggestion: Vertex steel string-$199.99 JRAD archer-$199.00 Ibanez TS-Mini-$79.99 Xotic EP boost-$120.00 Ibanez analog delay mini-$119.99 Boss TU-3-$99.99 Final cost $818.96 Cost difference-$44.82 more for my suggestion Some additional points: - For an extra $45 you get much closer to the overdrives and boosts John Mayer actually uses, as the Tone workstation was based on John Mayer’s tonal needs and includes a comp as well as a bluesbreaker/katana boost that are excluded in Masons board, yet are much more central to Mayer’s tone than a Dumble OD and certainly an EP boost which I’m pretty sure he doesn’t really use often/at all. - Moreover, Mayer has used analog delays, tape delays, and digital tape delay emulations, so digital tape echo emulation pedal, would be a much better alternative as it can handle much more of the delay tones of John Mayer. - My suggestion includes an envelope filter which John Mayer is famous for using. - As a final point, if use the same power supply as Mason does in this video (Truetone CS6) you can always one more pedal, as my board concept leaves one free adapter for one more pedal. You can add a wah pedal, Dumble style OD, Boss BD-2 or octave fuzz of your choice to include one of his less frequently used effects.

Ben, I think you make some good points here. A few things to remember, it needed to fit on a Metro 16. You suggestions are larger pedals, this would be problematic to sell the "mini rig" concept of the giveaway pedalboard, nor would they fit with this board platform. Secondly, this giveaway was sponsored by Sweetwater and done in collaboration with them, meaning we had to use pedals that were in stock and available through Sweetwater. I don't see the Keeley Workstation, Alter Ego, or the Micro Q Tron in their inventory or in stock. I think there a lot of way to "Skin The Mayer Cat", I tend to go for more of the Continuum era stuff, and Trio era since that's more of the iconic tone to my ears. These were much more scaled back rigs compared to what's being used now, and pre-dates the use of the filter effects, or any compressor use. In any case, I appreciate your feedback, and certainly if the only criteria was getting there at the lowest cost there would be lot of pivot options to make, differently from what I did with Sweetwater.

Great build! When I use dual lock it always comes off of either the board or the pedal if I try to remove a pedal. Once it comes off it will not stick again. Doesn't seem to matter if I just put the tape on or if it's been on for months.
@VertexEffectsInc 3 жыл бұрын
If it’s coming off it’s for two reasons, first reason is you didn’t clean the surface before you applied to dual lock. Second reason would be, it’s supposed to remain sedentary for about 12 to 24 hours before you really start pulling things on and off, almost like a curing of the adhesive. If I follow those steps I’ve yet to have a problem in over a decade
@frankstabler1920 3 жыл бұрын
I did let it sit for 24 hours. Maybe it's not cleaning the surface well enough. I'll try that next time. I really liked the tip about flipping the bottom of the one pedal over to get a clean surface.

I never owned a pedal in my life. Always had to borrow or rent. I don't even own an amp. Got an old electric guitar from my uncle and have been inspired to play since then. I go to my neighbourhood church's music room to play. And winning this pedal board would just be a blessing to me. Because I'll atleast have an electric guitar and a pedal board of my own even though I don't have an amp. I will literally be the happiest person on earth if I actually won it.

Hi Mason, I’ve seen you solder the patch cables with the outer SHIELD wire to the inner connector of the SP500’s. Then you solder the inner SIGNAL wire to the outer connector of the SP 500’s is there a reason why you do that? Shouldn’t the shield wire shield the signal wire always? Thanks! Ray
@VertexEffectsInc 3 жыл бұрын
The shield will always go to the sleeve, the center conductor will always go to the tip. I've not wired it differently than that or shown any other way to do it. You can check out our videos on how to wire SquarePlugs if you're interested in how to do it properly. These plugs in this video are a Switchcraft style plug, a little different than the SquarePlugs in terms of where the lugs line up with the tip and sleeve.

If you’re treating the Steel String Pedal like an amplifier, it would make more sense to put it after the TS9.

@@VertexEffectsInc Thank you! It's a great pedal and adds a huge amount of head room to my Fender Bassbreaker 15W. When I hit the TS9, the OCD, and Vertex together on a lower gain setting It's absolutely incredible. I tend to run the Xotic EP by itself. When I just want some color and more valume with modulation.

@@VertexEffectsInc Currently I have the Vertex, TS9, OCD stacked running in to a clean Fender amp. I'll put the Vertex in back of the OCD. So the TS9 & OCD are hitting it.

Hi. Any more insight why you place the steel string on that position?
@VertexEffectsInc 3 жыл бұрын
It's after the overdrives like I normally recommend, treating it more like an "amp" with the pedals running into it.

It's emulating an amp tone of a Dumble, normally you'd run your drives into the amp, not after it.

Guitar Life wouldn’t do that if you went that size. 14 AWG is usually what’s in the wall, but I’ve seen some cheap cables from China come with 16+. Ideally the thicker the better to be safe but I don’t think you’ll have an issue.

@VertexEffectsInc 3 жыл бұрын
@@davidtoth1 1M is what 99% of guitar amps have on the input Z, so no real change there, maybe if it were higher, like 2.2+ maybe you'd get some more of that unloaded pickup sound. The output impedance of the TU-3 is pretty bad, 1K - plus it's a BJT so not particularly efficient line driver. Also, it's hitting a Tube Screamer and Klon in sequence following it, so at best it's really only impacting the pickup loading and controlling that, and the output buffer is only doing anything for about 6-8" of cable before hitting another buffer which takes over at that point.
