This is one of the most underrated guitar players on the planet I think he belongs in the rock and roll hall of fame along with the rest of his band. Mike has had an incredible influence on my playing. Is incredible versatility, extraordinarily creative and killer tone and rhythm ability.

There is much more going on that what he is talking about and showing you, this is a simplified explanation. You can tell because he is not sure on what to really say. He could tell you there are 10k pots in some areas now that did not have them before, but most people would not understand. There are modifications done to probably all the pedals and gear. This means opening up the pedal or piece of equipment and removing parts and replacing them with different ones. It is common for guys of his nature to really know the insides of their tools. Changing capacitors and transistors can cause serious tone changes to pedals. Changing a wiring pattern on a guitar and other places also create different unique tones. There is also a "rig" which you do not see which houses the amps and other "rack mount" gear which is the other half of the guitar. Every aspect of his craft (and other instruments) is completely custom and everything he has can be modified extensively. Vintage parts and modern parts, 10s of thousands of dollars into his sound. Not just his but many many others as well. True audio engineers can design and create their own gear and do, he is one of them. Understanding basic circuitry is all you need to know.

Totally understand what you mean my friend. I just thought with the amount of pedals e uses and all the tap dancing during a song to change between effects, the bradshaw or the G force can still allow the programming of effects in patches for each of his songs and can switch the effects arrangements between various parts of the song. But hey it's all good, I'm not gonna question Mike E. as I'm a fan and at the end of the day it's his rig. Cheers!

Thanks! Now i end up with the same problem! I have two amps and i want to share effects between them and i use one for clean and the other for dirty tones, my problem is that for example if i use a delay on the clean amp and i change chanel to the dirty one, the delay passes on from the clean amp to the dirty one.. How do i solve this?
It would be nice if Mike did another video explaining how he orders his pedals and why. It looks to me like he is plugging straight into the Danelectro and that is boggling me. Lol. I was trying to follow the chain order but its impossible. It looks like the tone driver on the left side of the board is going off somewhere other than to any pedal near it...also, is there anything closer to the amps he didn't show us like a noise gate or something or is everything on the pedal board?

Hey Mike and incubus fans! Does anybody know what are those two black boxes just above the H&K rotosphere? on the left of the pedal power's? I can see that all pedals are connected into that and i think thats the "secret" of sharing the same fx's between two amps but i dont know if im right and how that works.. My problem is that i too use two amps and A/B them via a morley A/B switcher but my fx's "bleed" from one amp to the other.. Does anyone can help me? Also, sorry for my english! Thanks

FLyAgaric421 Last things first. No, it would not be impossible to tune the piano every single day. (Which you would have to do.) But, thats another guy you would have to hire on the road just to tune the thing. Plus, he probably only uses it on a song or two. So it makes more sense just to use the digital. The old piano case is just to look cool. Nothing looks more cheesy/unprofessional than a digital keyboard on an X stand. Having a guy on the road to tune a real piano every show just to play one song a night makes no sense to me.
