I've seen him NOT do that too! I'd be willing to bet he asks off camera before the cam rolls. I've had the same thought too!!!!!

bad manners.

i was thinking the exact same thing

Alternative Facts from Mason

Please, can I? Please, please...

You know if you have pedals going through your amp it's no longer a tube amp

I told Coco his solo on Have You Heard, was at the top of my list.

Coco is da man great rythmn section as well !

"...doesn't mean you get to charge boutique prices..." doesn't make one bit of sense. People will charge what they will.

For what it's worth (now that I'm somewhat caught up on the whole sordid ordeal), I meant a person sells their own product (not someone else's) at whatever price they choose. Apologies. 'scuse me while I wipe the egg off my face.

No need for apologies, I understood where you were coming from 👍

They did years ago.

Yeah these would be awfully dull without JB's enthusiasm. Plus, he is a very very good player in his own right

Andrew Westhoff weird right ? Even tho I do the same thing lol

Very weird. But whatever works!

My thoughts exactly.

I don't know, I wonder how much "preparation" this takes. After you watch a few of these -- other than amazing episodes like Peter Frampton -- they're all pretty much the same

Justin M John can play man. He's legit. Great rockabilly player

T.E. Witt I'm not disputing that necessarily. I just feel like the vibe is always so awkward when he does these things. I'm sure he is a great player. Just watch the facial expressions of the folks he interacts with. It's not a big deal just an observation.

We'd love your feedback on which pedals in our product line you feel are cheaply made, and at a price point above the market price for boutique pedals that are assembled in the USA.

Vertex Effects lol burnnnnnnnn

His cheap comment doesn't set that well with me either. Unless he's had hands on experience. But the "Conman" comment. What's that about?

haloskater244 - No disrespect was intended to downburst (I think you were just kidding around ya?). I just wanted to get clarification on his experience with the products. We're always making a concerted effort to improve the user experience of our products and if there's a legitimate issue, we want to know about it.

Hey greatvanzinni! Mason Marangella here, CEO/President of Vertex. The "conman" comment made by downburst is in reference to the Axis Wah product that I sold up until July of 2015, where I was purchasing Wah pedals directly from the BBE, re-branding them with Vertex aesthetics and doing some minor circuit changes, and re-selling at a substantial mark-up without disclosing the origins of the product, and publishing marketing material that said the product was made in-house when it was not. Although this wasn't representative of our other products, it called in to question all other pedals that we were legitimately manufacturing past, present, and future. All customers that purchased the Axis Wah, including dealers and international distributors were all issued a refunds, exchanges, credits, or rebates based on what was requested as restitution for each Axis Wah. You can learn more about the details on the The Gear Page here: www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/axis-wah-announcement-coming-clean.1477492 and on Reverb.com here: reverb.com/news/vertex-effects-after-the-axis-wah-scandal-a-conversation-with-mason-marangella .

I will. I'm glad they showed them on here.

Matt Brown do whatever you want homeboy no one gives a shit.

bluwng you clearly don't know the meaning of the word "homeboy", homeboy

Every item he gave the brand, some the name of the guy, so you have a huge list if that is your criteria. Welcome to making money in music today. What did you pay them to see this video anyway...?

TheDogpa I'm only complaining because this show is about what equipment the pros use. He doesn't even use Vertex effects. Only said he likes them and might use them in the future. It just seems covert and subversive to advertise this way. It's a trick. At least that's the way I see it. I've never seen this tactic used in any other Rig Rundown. I don't think I'm completely off base.

It sounds pretty genuine to me. He's just being his excited self. In my opinion.

Alex Gordon I think it might just be who he is. crazy hyped guy

Think of him as a lovable puppy - always on 10!

Look don't misunderstand me. I view the guy and his channel as invaluable. This is one of my favorite KZfaq channels and John is obviously an indispensable part of it... so technically he's one of my favorite people. Now, The first time I saw the channel, I'm looking at Chris... and he's this super low key soft spoken dude, and he just lets the artists talk. He knows what questions people are asking, He knows exactly what we want to know, and he's concise about asking, and let's us get to know our favorite musicians by being a little restrained. He's just the intermediary, and nothing more... and I liked that as an Audience member.... but John and perry are more enthusiastic and let more of their personalities shine through... which I dig, cuz they're obviously cool dudes....... but you don't get that until you follow the channel regularly, and I think it's easy for people to miss the interview quality cuz they're hit with the quirkiness of the interviewers so-cal stoned surfer vibe. Obviously, I don't mind cuz that's me.... as it is a lot of guys.... but it's not everyone, and it think it can come off distracting. But at the same time, he's John fuckin bohlinger, and he's the man, and we can either dig it or fuck off...... so in that sense, perhaps I contradict myself.

Alex Gordon what are you conscience are you part of his mind. What makes you think you know what he thinks, that's rhetorical so please don't come back with stupid opinionated response.
