Still can’t believe he’s not around anymore 😢 he was there right from the start, pushing boundaries til the end. I feel like he’s one of our last connections to that era, gone.

History goes that the first ever made Boss OD-1 prototype was given to Jeff Beck to test. It was not yellow but black and it was seen on stage with him. Probably it was late 70s.

great job, saw Jeff Beck many many times and his pedal set up was ever-changing. RIP Jeff Beck!

Man do I miss Jeff, I still can't believe it. He was the only guitarist in the last 55 years that was second to none, not even Jimi Hendrix or Allan Holdsworth.

My friend Kenny designed and made Jeff's Snarling Dog Pedals. We got Jeff to contact my bro and fellow *crip*, as he calls me, Jason Becker. Beck shunned the limelight (don't blame him), but dang, he was a kind man. My dad customized old cars; Beck was just a regular guy when it came to mixing in with that group of men and women in car clubs, around the US, anyway.

The last I saw Jeff ( June 22 in Cardiff) Jeff was using a CAE Wah into a Red MXR 78 Distortion pedal into the Archer JB model ( diodes are tuned to JBs preferences) The Grey Mxr Flanger, H&K Rotosphere and Mutron

Excellent video as always to a guitar legend like no other

As always, well prepared and very informative. Hats off Ramon. 👌🏽 Jeff was a legend and had the most unique style of his own. No one even came close this style. RIP Jeff.

He's often overlooked as innovative but he didn't even hold the pick like anyone else, he used his thumbnail and created hits with every type guitar imaginable. RIP Jeff

Right on brother.. another masterpiece for a master musician..you do the world a great service my friend.. fantastic work 🤘🎸🎶😁

The wooden pedal pictured at around 3:40 is a counterfeit Tone Bender, built by Music Ground (nowadays known as 'Hanks' and 'British Pedal Company'), and sold to a Japanese collector at some point in the last 15 years.

Incredibly good work, forensically identifying Jeff's gear

i saw jeff beck playing with jaun hammer ! = bloody fantastic show ! thanks Jeff .

Jeff didn’t come from a Delta Blues or a Chicago Blues tradition he came from a Rockabilly tradition like the Tridents! The Binson was made in Essex!

That was a great tour of Jeff's effects. I had no idea he used so many different things. In an interview that must have been much later he said he didnt use anything; though I would see him stomping different things, like overdrive for solos, an effect that sounded like a doubler of some kind and occasionally a wah petal. But mostly fingers- guitar- amp.

Never tired of the guvnor 😅😊🎉❤

Great history, lesson, explanation, and accompanying photos! Thank you so much!

Very interesting. If any guitarist could ever honestly say he didn't "need" pedals, it was Beck. But he was too creative and experimental not to try a heap of them. They are the spices in the sound recipes.

Thank you so much for the detail! I never had much luck with pedals , most of them broke down (60's 70"s). Vintage Fender tweeds gave enough overdrive. That being said, The Klon was in a class by itself. I do not use mine with a LP. But with a Strat, WOW. The notes are really defined with just enough sizzle and the harmonics native to a Strat come through. I have a KTR as well as the ARC clone. A must for those who love Strats! The KTR sells around 700 bucks used, the ARC is about 200. A must if you like Strats. Thanks again

I always loved the lush effect that Jeff used on the song 'Max's Tune'.

Brilliant Guitarist

Thank you very much for putting this video together. I have been a fan of the Gov'ner since the beginning. Yeah I'm old. I have been researching his rig for years and it's great to have my own findings confirmed. Great work. I even learned a few things as well. Great show. RIP Jeff. Cheers.

Wow, a super Informative video on the late Jeff Beck and pedal's he used, Thanks for Video

Nicely done, as usual. Great job, Ramon.

Thank you very much for this Ramon , amazing reasearch 🙏🎶

Amazing ! So many details, that are so important to get about his sound and his use of tech was quite huge to his playing as well

You do a tremendous job getting all the important information. Not just this video, all your video's. Thanks Goose!

Excellent video. Thanks.

Thanks bro, Jeff was my hero too.

I remember having my pedals on the floor, 40+ years ago. I used to put a loop of Gaffer tape on their backs to keep them still. We used instrument cables because patch cables didn’t exist.

I was fortunate enough to have seen JB 4X including ARMS concert in NYC. I saw him Oct 8 2022 with Johnny Depp- he was Spectacular. Sadly he only played 18 more shows. Hey thanx for this special on Guitar Pedals- I don't think anyone's done this before. So did Roger Mayer invent the Fuzz Box. I realize some people were getting a Fuzz Sound prior to the Fuzz Box. Readers??

Great video as always Ramon! It’s cool to hear about this stuff

Brilliant matey

Great video, thanks.

Killer episode!

Seeing Alvin Lee and Jeff Beck on the same stage playing would be awesome ❗️ 1)Jeff Beck 2) Alvin Lee 3) Robin Trower

Great job!

Nice work.

Amazing research

Great work there Ramon. So much detail 👌

A. very detailed over view of Beck's pedal choices. Thanks !

Great job!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. SIR BECK

Very good. Thank you.

Great detective work!

Thank you 👍🎸

Cool vid. ty and merry xmas all

In all actuality Heart Full of Soul was initially released in the UK on 4th June 1965 and 2nd July 1965 (US) whereas (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction was released 5th June 1965 (US) and 20 August 1965 (UK). So Americans assumes the Stones did the Fuzz thing first but it was in all factuality the Yardbirds who did it first.

Hey Bro . This is amazing . Thank you 🙏

Most awesome... thank you for posting the info :)

@8:00 the CryBaby was made under license owned by the Thomas Organ company. Dunlop did not own the brand name until many years later.

Thank you so much

The “large volume pedal” is a Tychobrathe Pedalflanger. He states that he had 2 in the 1980 GP cover article. Also he said he used an Ibanez booster.

Awesome 👍👍

Txs 4the information...Tone Beast.. guitar tone...like a finger print 🎉

What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend Ramon also Monday is my friends birthday also my birthday ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

Sonic examples of the gear presented would have been a nice touch...

Great story!

The proco rat pedal really is three types of distortion in one. Turn the dial to the left IT’s overdrive, twelve o clock is fuzz, to the right it becomes more distortion

After a concert in Philadelphia somewhere in the 1980's, i went to the stage before they took away his pedals and one was a Colorsound Treble Booster.

Nice show Jeff Beck one of the finest players ever he not using a pick I'm wondering if he couldn't find one lol I had that problem back in the day

I could be wrong on this, but didn’t Jeff also use an MXR Blue Box on Blow by Blow? Thelonious in particular.

Seems Jeff was way ahead of his time for effects. Maybe even before Hendrix, who was essentialy a R&B player before 1966. He must have caught the effect train arriving in London ? Maybe I'm wrong. But english guitarists seemed more avant guard in terms of experiminting with gear than their US counterparts (except for Les Paul obviously)

I've still got one of those Digitechs right here.

Rip Jeff

Hi Ramon. Great job as always. As a fan of the Yardbirds, I have a suggestion for a future video if it is possible. What about an interview with Chris Dreja, rhythm guitar and later bass player in the Yardbirds ? He played with Clapton, Beck and Page, he must have stories to tell ! Maybe he knows where Eric's red Telecaster is today...

Fantastic coverage - well done! Do we have any footage or audio of Jeff using his final board, more specifically, the Archer or Variac Fuzz?

I think there was an echoplex on "I aint superstitious"..I can get the lead tone perfectly with a really short delay time (set so it doubles) and one or two repeats on mode 1 of catlinbread belle epoch deluxe

I'm convinced the marshall supafuzz was the sound of jimi hendrix AYE..the larger input and output caps give it its sound over the tonebender

Carmine App-Ice LOL 🙄 Nicely researched pedal info though.

Jeff controlling feedback? See Shapes of Things. Absolute sonic perfection

Im looking for a history or time line on Jeff’s rugs!!! if only that thing could talk, the stories it could tell!!!

At 22:50. It's an Empress Tremolo, not a Diamond Phaser. Both are orange pedals from Canadian builders, but the Diamond has only one footswitch. Great video overall, though.

My mind is blown; I thought his setup was less complex.

I’m not addicted to my pedalboards but I can’t play an acoustic guitar anymore without feeling naked

What's the weird les paul copy Jeff was playing at 14:13 i checked and also saw he played his signature Greco Strat at the same gig

I just wanted to see the ProCo Rat and snarling dogs whine-o wah

ok

Who's Clive Tench????

What happened to Jeff's stolen fender amp? Lol very curious the story behind it

Jeff's hero was hank Marvin like all the rest of his age group.before he done his own thing

Don't see kr or rw using all the effects

Pronounced A- piece

I think Jeff said something about not using the wah pedal anymore after about 1975 so I take this show with a whole board of salt.

One of the most overrated "star guitarists" of the old generation - I don't know a single video of him where he would have played without all his sound tricks with effect devices, guitar mechanics, amp gimmicks etc., i.e. on an acoustic guitar! The rest was the usual blues/blusrock schemes, a few weird chords, slide technique, etc. His "genius" was more in how he used his sound effects and riffs rhythmically, but after decades of playing practice it wasn't magic. As a drummer and keyboarder I was much more impressed by other guitarists, especially since J.Beck wrote very few (well-known) songs of his own. 90% of his live concerts were partly ancient cover songs - and that's how he became a multimillionaire?!
