Mincho is a genius. Tony Iommi is the riff master. Kanami is the mad scientist of riffage. Call the Burgermeister. She must be stopped as she is creating the most monstrous of riffs. She is the perfect example of why Internet searches are so important. And it is good The Pigeon knew how to hunt and peck on the keyboard to perform the search. Band-Maid would not be the same without Kanami. Every band needs a genius like her. 😍
Thank you Alan. One important point is that for Kanami, this huge board is used to add effects for each of the 3 channel settings set on the amp. So, this board and the Bogner amp must be considered together. The channels are switched via MIDI, and the parameters of each pedal are flexibly changed accordingly, controlling the presets together with the techs backstage. This alone is art...
Hi Alan, thanks for the multiple mentions. Really enjoyed your take on Kanami's pedal board and covering the basics of each pedal. I picked up the Vemuram Jan Ray last time I went to Japan. Got it for under $300 new. This pedal sounds amazing, very high quality. I used it to play Led Zeppelin's Kashimir at a Buddhist temple with taiko drums 🥁 I didn't know that wah pedal by Steve Vai has auto on off. I'd like to get that. My Dunlop crybaby requires extra push to turn it on or off
Alan, I'm not a musician, but thank you so much for this information. You are great for giving us non-musicians insight into the music that we love. You're awesome!!!!!
Thanks Alan. Having a guitar with a few effects I'm always interested in topics like this. Being a big fan of Mincho and her playing, this was fun to listen to.
Thank you Alan. I like listening to people who know what they are talking about nerding around and about tech in the back. That was a very good informative video - as Yoshi‘s was. Please more of it. And I know now, why I don’t get Kanami‘s tone right, I just didn’t invest enough money yet … but I also get the vague feeling this isn’t the only reason 😊
Investing is half the battle, playing style is a huge factor too. I have noticed player with a heavier hand use less pedals and player with a lighter hand use more pedals.
When they say you have to put in the work in order to get better, I didn't realize that working on your sound was just as important later on. Great video Alan, lots of great information. Thanks for putting in the time to do it.
Excellent video..! Thank you..!! I believe a huge, massive shout out should go to Daisuke.. Kanami's guitar tech.. if he didn't construct this pedalboard himself (which is an absolute work of art), he surely oversaw the construction, as well as consulting Kanami in her choices.. He's been an outstanding Tech, supporter and mentor to her over the years...
@@TheCyberMantis I've seen images from either shows or music videos where Kanami is using some kind of Marshall stack. Couldn't tell which one, but it looked like one of the more expensive head + cab sets.
I used to paint pictures, I bought lots of beautiful, high-quality colours, wonderful brushes, special fabrics... but then I saw Leonardo's self-portrait in sanguine, a simple red chalk, and you realise that it's talent... the rest doesn't matter.
Cool video! It's nice to have someone doing a rundown like this since I hardly see any in depth analysis on Kanami's gear. I'm very interested in recreating Kanami's tone, but I have to do it on a bit of a budget, so some of the pedals showcased here are off the table for me. What would be some more affordable alternatives for stuff like the Vemuram Jan Ray, Free The Tone Flight-Time, and Eventide Time Factor?
Amazingly complicated! No wonder there is a sound engineer to run this pedalboard. I am reminded of Keith Emerson's keyboard set ups from the 1970's. 🤣
I see. Being the SEAL Team 6 of Japanese Hard Rock, it's only natural Mincho gets only the best gear for their missions. Which they perform to perfection. Maybe Mincho has a name for each of her pedals, like Wah Wah-san, Let's Go Popo-san, Marry Me Saiki-san etc. My air guitar only requires beer for effects, the cheap kind. It sounds just like Kanami's guitar in my head. People around me headbang (it's weird because it's side headbang, left-right-left-right-left-right-sigh-...) when I play air guitar. I bet Misa would appreciate me😌
my friend told me tonight that he watched you video and looked up other stuff and said miku has or had a Line6 with a large volume peddle for her shoes. he plays on a line6 so loved that. is it true
Never understood the need for a ton of pedals. I have clean, rhythm distortion and lead distortion with a touch of reverb (if needed). All in amp. Only external is a volume pedal. Last thing I need to think about while playing is, did I hit the right button. How I play determines my sound not so much the effect.
Depends on the music you play and what sound you want from your instrument. Of course, if you play country or traditional blues then a guitar and an amplifier are enough, but Band-Maid is a different case. How do you, for example, play a solo with a wammy if you don't have a wammy?
@@fimasstet89 Bon Jovi once had Jeff Beck come in and add guitar to a song, not sure which song. He said Jeff came in with a guitar in a cardboard box, plugged into an amp with no pedals, and proceeded to drop jaws. Not saying effects don't come in handy, how you actually play can get you to the same place many times.
@@altonT I agree. But effect pedals are just as much a music creation tool as a guitar. If Kanami uses a huge pedalboard, then she needs it that way. I've seen a lot of live Maids and Kanami's sound (like the other members) has always been impeccable.
I think Kanami could have done it cheaper if she had asked her friend Shinji Wajima, the ``human chair''. Wajima makes his own pedals because he wants to create the "distortion" he likes.
oh I like this 👏👏 I saw Miyako , Hazuki , Hal-CA, Tomo Zo pedal boards , I like when you explain , if this video do well , I'd like to see more thanks ;))

For sure! I didn't want to jump down that rabbit whole yet, but yes that is a whole other topic to discuss. Wanted to keep this as simple as possible.

I have one for sale!

This is Awesome Alan! Very informative to me as a layman in this area!
Thanks Alan for doing this.. very interesting!
How many times did I say "Pedal" ?
It was like counting 🐑, I fell asleep at 77.😁 🖖❤
I got 127, including "pedals" (plural).
Do I win anything if I'm right? 😁

Yup, there are so many elements
I love this kind of video. At least you can learn and have what your favourite guitarist is using
True 🙏

She deserves it. She can play with anything she wants. She uses Bogner amps, which are also very expensive.
She uses multiple amp heads. Always changing. Same with Miku.
@@BAND-MAID-USA I seen Miku with a EVH 5150, and I seen Kanami with a Mesa Dual Rec. What other amps have they used?
@@TheCyberMantis They’ve used tons of amps. Even including a Fender Twin Reverb.

Loved this style of video man! Very cool and informative
Thank you!
So interesting. Cool post Alan
Thanks for the inside.
Great video--thanks for sharing!
MISA is incorporating Free the Tone pedals as well.
MISA review coming soon
Cool video, very informative! 👍
Thanks for this. Was never interested in this tech stuff until I discovered Kanami Tono lol.
Hope it was interesting for you 🙏

Thank you
did you include all the stuff behind the amp that is not infront of her?
Take a shot every time Alan says "pedal", lol
If you value your life, don't do that 😅
nah, lets go! shots shots shots lol

There’s less buttons, dials and switches in the cockpit of an airplane.😆
For real
I use a 300 dollar multi pedal. No wonder i don't sound anything like her 😂
What kind? The crazy part in is she uses Line 6 stomp in the backline also (another multi-effects pedal)
I think Kanami could have done it cheaper if she had asked her friend Shinji Wajima, the ``human chair''. Wajima makes his own pedals because he wants to create the "distortion" he likes.
Bad Horsey :)
Whatever it take she deserved every pennies
oh I like this 👏👏
I saw Miyako , Hazuki , Hal-CA, Tomo Zo pedal boards , I like when you explain , if this video do well , I'd like to see more thanks ;))
Those are all good suggestions! Do you know if they share picture of their pedal set ups
Choko is pronounced (Chalk-Oh), short for Chocolate, not Choke-Oh. A Chocolate Cornet is a kind of pastry.
That’s a lot of money to sound like an average garage band guitarist.
