Devin Townsend Blows Our Tiny Minds - That Pedal Show
Рет қаралды 456,943
Go on, pinch us! Daniel recently had the great honour of building Devin Townsend’s new pedalboard. It’s quite the task given Dev’s immense creative ambition and ability - check out www.hevydevy.com/ for a small insight into his world.
We travelled to Monnow Valley Studios in Wales to deliver the board as Dev was tracking his upcoming record. He took some time out to chat and run through his signature Mooer Ocean Machine pedal among other golden insights.
It goes without saying that we have massive respect for Devin’s artistic and creative compulsion, not to mention his undoubted skill and dedication in getting it to the world. It’s an honour and pleasure to get to hang with him. Enjoy the video…
A note on the audio and what you’re hearing
Devin is using a wet-dry-wet rig. The dry/centre is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe combo, while the wet stereo runs from a Fractal Axe FX II XL+ into two JBL full range monitors (purely for monitoring). The recorded sound is a mic on the Hot Rod Deluxe and a direct stereo feed from the Axe FX.
Dev also uses Ableton Live for live performance which he integrates with his rig, as explained in the video. I’m on thin ice now - Mick here - so I’ll stop talking about things I don’t understand. Maybe Dan can add more if we get lots of questions.

Okay I've heard the name dropped before but have never really taken the time to look up any of Mr. Townsend's content and HOLY BALLS how have I even made it this far in life without knowing of this man!? I've got my day planned out already, I'm finishing this video then going back to older videos and looking up every single artist that has ever been honked or mentioned on this show.

Listening to this interview I now see why Devy and Vai got along well enough to make music together. They both seem like not just titanic musicians but also lovely human beings.

The ability to compose between every music genre while creating a new ones, is truly amazing. Really grounded fella, a "Mozart" of modern times in my mind, Devin Townsend. :)

When he brought up that he sees sounds as colors, that hit hard... I couldn't tell you what an A sounds like, but I know what it looks like and what it feels like in my head... The palette he uses is wonderful... I didn't know who he was before I watched this. Thank you guys, this was good and exciting to me. :)

Devin's approach to his delay/reverb pedal is veeeery similar to what is done in the world of modular synthesis. That is a very hands-on approach, and a vast realm of sonic possibilities. A great man, with great ideas, and a great heart

Love Devin, he is a brilliant musician, covers so many genres with his playing, amazing performer live, and the guys is so down to earth and approachable, i just love his music, he truly is an underrated guitaist and composer.

Wow... I’m such a massive Devy fan and now his incredible talent makes so much more sense... he has synesthesia! Holy crap... of course he does... he can visualize his music and emotion in a way that others don’t, that’s why he can create such masterpieces and evoke so much emotion with out the more formal music theory training. He’s combined natural gifts with incredible hard work and dedication and has just mastered his craft, what a treasure.
