Welcome to That Pedal Show! Please subscribe to our channel and visit our store www.thatpedalshowstore.com
We often get asked about our personal guitars and amps that crop up on That Pedal Show, so this series/playlist seeks to answer some of the more common questions.
In this video Dan talks about a relatively recent (2017) addition to the Steinhardt Guitar Family, the Fender Ed O’Brien EOB Sustainer Stratocaster. Ed is of course one of the guitar players in legendary/pioneering/uber famous band, Radiohead, within which he creates incredible sonic textures that are fundamental to their often otherworldly, ethereal sound. (And yes, Dan builds Ed's pedalboard and consults on his rig).
We’d strongly urge you to also watch Fender’s awesome video on Ed and the guitar, as much for the info and insight as the inspiring cinematography. Go here for that… • The Ed O'Brien Sustain...
Dan is playing through a 1961 Vox AC30 (Celestion Alnico Blue speakers) and a Marshall 1987x 50-watt Plexi reissue (Celestion G12H Anniversary speakers), running together.

"Ed is THE guitar player in Radiohead". Haha, well that's kind of nice to hear since Jonny and Thom do seem to get all the attention ;)

@AngelicusImmortus 4 жыл бұрын

Micah Buzan Ed is the out and out guitar player. Thom plays piano, guitar, electronics and writes the songs - Ed’s own words. Jonny does the emphasis parts on guitar, plays keyboards, electrics and does the orchestration on the tracks. You need to hear Thom play Clocks solo to hear how good he is. - on stage he adds the acoustic elements. Ed is awesome. One key that gets missed about it being a Mexican body etc was because ED wanted it to be cheaper so it wasn’t as restrictive a price range for younger, less well of players. He basically told Fender I want it affordable, so he pegged it personally to the £1000 mark. Signature models for all others add about £1000 just because of the name

Very interesting strat!!!!!!!!!! Daniel Lanois talked about the invention of the sustainer many years ago. He had the two prototypes and gave one of them to the edge.They called it the "inifinate guitar". The result was the song "with or without you". In the song there is a nice combination of sustainer and shimmer. The Edge now uses the Ed O'Brian strat, too.

I just tried one and I loved it! Extra amazing that yours was a gift from Ed himself! You mentioned that it ships with 9 gauge strings- and that you swapped them for 11's- what (apart from the normal set-up- intonation, etc.) needs to be changed to properly accommodate 11's (which is what I also play). Does the nut need to be changed?

Way to go Daniel - did you at least have Ed sign it "for real" on the headstock? I agree about strings, after your program about strings I decided to go to 9's on my 25.5" scale guitars and should have done 10 years ago. I have arthritis as I get older and now my hands don't ache all night after playing, and they are way twangy too - LOVE IT!

This looks to be a very versatile guitar. I’m a church musician and today we are basically cover bands; we might do a hymn and I️ pick up my classical, then strum on an acoustic if there are parts, and recently many uses for ambient electric sounds, I️ think inspired by Radiohead, are popping up - and yes that Guitar might be my next. But taking versatility in another direction, you might guess I️ really would jump at an excellent acoustic simulation and the question of 12 string electric, piezo, or pedals to get me there. I’m not all that good so the pretension of getting 3 guitars on stands seems out of place. Of course I️ went down the dark road of digital but learned I️ seek a more dynamic sound. This program has been huge for me, so thanks. But maybe you can think to deal with the acoustic electric switcheroo I️ do every Sunday.

Hey Dan, I recently bought a EOB Strat. Loving it! My quetion is about batteries. Mine drain quite quickly. I was wondering if you have played with the strength of the sustainer pickup for better battery life? Currently I do use rechargeable 9v batteries, but they still go quickly.....Any suggestions?? Or does all that tone simply come at a price?

@AndrewAviles 5 жыл бұрын

Hope you figured it out, but you likely need to unplug the guitar, at least that's the case with active pickups. If not, may just need to remove the battery after sessions

Arthur & Pippa's Vlogs the sustainer uses the bridge and neck pickups to create a magnetic field that keeps whatever notes you’re playing ringing out. The switches are on/off, and fundamental/harmonic/blend. The rear tone knob on the strat is replaced by a sustainer intensity knob.
