I love fuzz pedals.

I love time altering pedals too. And fuzz.

I’ve 100 pedals but I only use three!

Sometimes I like it wet sometimes I like it dry

@@KRAZEEIZATION lol, yeah...yeah. I have about 30. I use a Rat, an SD1, maybe a compressor, and a reverb if the amp doesn't have it. The others just sit neatly in the box.

haha, exactly! classic quote

Not many can pull off the what comes after that.

@@mbudnick242 haha, good one!

George Thorogood said in Guitar Player magazine in the 70's, " all I need is Fender tweed amp on a folding chair and a good mic to the PA"!

you really don't them. just crank the hell out of your amp, so your power tubes are actually working and you'll get good tone.

Got the chops but he would definitely sound better with a few choice pedals.

I guess if you only clean and dirty that’s great. I don’t play only blues.

No. U don t need pedals period. A solid body and an ok amp is what it takes. A little fun on a wah funny sounds here and there. But if your placement s good. It just takes an amp and à guitar

​@@huntermediaphotography You should, then

he use to play in his garage on memorial day. that was until they had riots in huntington beach, kinda put an end to that.

Practice to play better and you'll find that the tone you've been chasing for so long is all in your fingers

"tone is in fingers" 😅

​@@joeblough261%100 Agree

@@joeblough261 No. It doesn’t work like that for 99.999999% of people. I’m a pretty damn good guitarist and there’s a ton of toneS that I’m ok with but one that sets me apart is still and may forever be a dream. It’s just reality.

Hahaha totally

I had a boogie mark IV combo it was only a 1x12 but good god it was so loud, on volume 4 out of 10, people down the street would go deaf. It also weighed about 85 pounds. Totally impractical for just about everything.

White things yellow with age; yellow things brown.

As he should

That's the truth! Roy's rig, '53 telecaster, Blackface Vibroverb, and a good guitar cord! Which Roy had the amp on 10 turned backwards, to get the overdrive sound for Purple Haze or Are You Experienced. Roy would throw some beer from his mug on the hot tubes! You think I'm kidding? I saw him do it!❤ RIP 🙏 Roy Buchanan

5.29.24. 🎸Trout®️….. is among the top echelon of Guitarist’s❗️ trying to determine who’s the best is like splitting atoms🎯 ….

pretty sure he used a dallas range master

You should try treble bleed circuit, the con is you will no longer be able to produce volume swells. That’s why I have 9 guitars.

Exactly! I love controlling a single channel non-master volume amp with my guitar volume knob. And tube screamers, I love those too!

I would probably agree if all pedals were only gain pedals, did you only ever have gain pedals? You can't get delay or phase or flange or chorus or a different kind or verb, or a practical usable wah or tremolo from your guitar knobs. Suit yourself tho,it's a free country.

​@@skepticalbystanderit can be done-there's a guy on YT who demonstrates how to get effects by purely manual means. It's a helluva lot of work though when you can just push a button..

@@georgerodrigues4638 do you know where I can check that out?

Amps are heavy..dude probably has roadie's...I'm at the age..I'm like Nah...and I've good world class amps

Or i have a laptop with audacity or another home studio recorder software and a good stereo to plug in. Why i need a amp or pedals?

Impulse Response pedals are where its at. I can bring one pedal to the studio that has every amp, guitar tone, effects and cab sims I would ever need. 1 pedal and a couple guitars to carry to record. Sold !

There are speakers and PA systems everywhere so better to just have the things compact. But if I had his amp&speaker I would want it to have inbuilt compressor at the end to make soft cleans and distorted volumes more in the same range.

I don't have crew, so...

What’s up dude! Love your channel!

After playing many overdrives I came to the conclusion that they pretty much all sound very very similar. Except the Tubescreamer…

You're correct. When I played in the 70's through the 90's, you could crank it up and let your amp and speakers do the work. I like a little reverb and sometimes maybe a Wah or distortion for a couple of songs. Sometime after the turn of the century, rules and people started to change. Nowadays, many clubs have a noise ordinance, and some won't even allow a hard drummer. That's why I've had to experiment with pedals to get the right sound and tone and lately, even modelers. I still love and prefer to crank up a tube amp when I can.

Playing at volumes that fit the room is what good musicians do.

I play drums and we have been told to turn it down plenty. Blues clubs tell me don't play drums so loud. Funny when I got off stage some guy told you need to play louder.

@@Stratmanable I've been asked to turn down the volume because people must speak and hear what they say -- nobody is interested in music anymore

@@maxduke1943 You misunderstand the role of the band in a bar or restaurant. The purpose of a band in these settings is to provide background atmosphere so that people can have their conversations and eat in comfort. Most venues for music aren't rock clubs or theaters. They're bars and restaurants. Bars and restaurants exist to serve customers, not your ego. And generally, good musicians should never play too loud for the size of the room. Or so loud they can't hear each other. "Crank it up!" is the mating call for guys with small dicks, and the insecurity surrounding the problem.

😂

And you wish you played like him in your dreams

@@brucegelman5582 seems you got your sense of humor from the same shop Walter gets his pedals...

@@conannanoc8768got em 😂😂😂

J. S. Bach wrote echoes into the music; so can you. E.g. listen to the Praeludio in E for violin, BWV 1006.

You don’t need pedals, you need rack effects. Have yet find a way to make a clean/dirty amp get delay, flange, echo, phaser, or tremolo with no rack efx or pedals. I mean there 100+ different amps out there that built in effects. So yeah you just use your with built in effects and you’re “not” using pedals.

@@huntermediaphotography I don't understand, you can easily 'make a clean/dirty amp get delay, flange, echo, phaser, or tremolo' with pedals. Even cheaper single unit multi-fx pedals.

@@huntermediaphotography if i had all my pedals and all the pedals i want in rack form, it would be as tall as the empire state building.

You're allowed.

@@guitarworld no shit

Pedals never made a crap player talented either .

Then Walter should have had the mask on, but ya that’s how people think you get the vaccine and all be okay 🤔

In that case, it should be Walter wearing the mask.

​@@TheNoncritical1When you visit Walter's place you play by his rules, check?

I assumed it was part of the “apocalypse” role playing.

Both should wear a mask if that's the case...

Back in the 1980s I came across a 1978 Marshall Bluesbreaker in a secondhand store. I had tried dozens of amps, taking my guitar with me to test them, and plugged into this one and wow, it just sounded perfect from the first note. Simple, like me and my brain, and - unlike Walter - I did use some pedals like a 1960s Maestro Phaser and a Boss OD2 (seeing as the Marshall didn't have a master volume/gain) but apart from that, for years until I stopped gigging and sold the amp, it was all I ever needed. Now I have about 40 pedals (not all at once), a Headrush MX5, a ToneX and enjoy a quieter life recording music for fun and joy. However, if I was young and about to go out on the road again, I would look for an amp like my old Bluesbreaker and keep it simple as possible. Do wish the bloody thing didn't weigh as much as a baby elephant with the massively optimistic single handle on the top lol. I got it flightcased pretty quick as it was a 2 man job, unless you were a local crew guy at Glasgow Barrowlands. They are the best and strongest crew I have ever met - superhuman monsters and lovely fellas :)

Valid point. Back in the day guitarists used Tone Bender or some variation on that fuzz type tone. Like at the 1st Led Zeppelin or Cream records. Amps didn’t really have effects back except reverb and possibly tremolo. Those records are great sounding with no real effects.

You imply thats his playing and sound is inferior tho, it isnt

I’ve had the good fortune to be able to see them both live in tiny venues from less than 5 feet and SRV was much more impressive to me. Music flowed through him like no one I’ve ever seen live. I’m not knocking Walter. He’s great with more traditional blues but he’s no SRV.

@@eristicfreethinker2098 luv the input - but as they say - its a difference of opinion that makes horse racing possible...

For me it was about 10-15ft from Santana. We just happened to be standing right there where his spot was. He sat down on this little thing and played. We were so close.

Well said about that. Bravo!!

"I don't want any of those nasty colors on my perfect fine paintbrush" ----no artist ever said

That's true unless you're using the effects loop.

that's cool, i would be lost without pedals... and i love my princeton reverb(ish)

Why not both? I just don't get the argument. Why not have two rigs for a gig, have a set that has songs that you can use effects and other songs where you could switch to the rig with no pedals??

I saw Walter decades ago in the Bierkeller at Bristol, my ears were ringing for a week afterwards.....SO LOUD!!!!

If you are playing an electric guitar live you kinda do need an amp though. Yes pedals are fun, but if you have more than a half dozen, and are using them more than half the time, you are either an expert level player in a very dynamic band, or are not working on your own tone enough. Nothing beats a tube amp turned up to 11....nothing.

We definitely do need amps. They're the part that produce the sound that electric guitars are built for.

Touche;;'

we don't really need anything besides food and water and protection from the elements... and yes, guitars and vintage tube amps and pedals and aftermarket pickups are fun.

@zhou_sei We need guitars if we want to play the guitar. The video wasn't a philosophical argument about what we need to live. It was about what is needed as a guitarist.

Schenker uses a wah and Angus uses a booster pedal …

Blackmore... uses an AIWA only...

@@castorprof I ran a google search that says he does not use pedals

Add Eddie Van Halen

Angus is a weak player. Kinda boring and overrated. Each track the same trick.

Well said about David and Hendrix...And Andy Summers belongs there. I love clean chorus and reverb because of him

Was there, free admission before 9. Those were the days

Me too! He had a banner behind the drums that read something like: ‘If it’s too loud, get the F Out!’ He played so dangerously - every note meant something! Seriously Great 👍 😮we are lucky to see him at Perqs! 🤠

Volume swells. Watch some Roy Buchanan videos. Start with The Messiah Will Come Again.

@@eristicfreethinker2098 I love Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton, two of my favourites.

Sounds like you've spent a lot of money on pedals, son.

Sounds like spring reverb from the amp to me.

Sounds like amp reverb.

When I play my broom, I don't need a dustpan.

DREAM...😁😂😂😂😂

play in a beautiful giant church and have your road crew run around with speakers?

that's the point, he doesn't

@@theuserthatishere In that case, there's no point. When you're playing with basically the same sound on everything you do, you'll use an amp that has what you need built in.

EVH, SRV and Angus Young never used a pedal, all different amps…

@@Ken0laEVH and SRV used pedals all the time. 😂

Literally, his first word in that sentence tells you HE prefers it that way. I agree with you though. To each his own. Takes all kinds to make a world.

I know I thought the same

The description states that this was in Covid and the interviewer came into Walter's home. Do some research on Walter's life threatening health problems and the appalling behaviour of American medical insurance companies that led thousands of his fans to contribute, via prize draws. benefit concerts, crowdfunding etc. to try and save his life.

It's obvious Walter has health vulnerability....think

Get over it. The air quality will be so bad soon you won’t be able to breathe without one.

I don’t know, but the fact that you are says a whole lot more about you than it does about masks or anyone wearing them.

@@scottbaxendale323you are dumb, those type of mask don’t filter any microns. It’s basically a splash protection for gross contamination and has no respiratory protection!
