good vid, small tip: on my monitors I hear this really low bass rumble while you're talking, not loud, but noticeable, maybe from the room, not sure, but a quick high-pass on export will get rid of that, either that or my speakers are crap 😕, not impossible, if so, don't mind me - but great video guys!
OC-3 is so underrated. That polyphonic mode with selectable range is a MUST HAVE for my one-man-band sound. I split the signal straight into the mixer, though. I run a wet dry rig as well. Wet ino mixer, dry into an amp. Sounds fantastic and people always wonder who is playing the bass. 🤣
In less than 1 month from today. About 1 hour south of me in Albany NY. John Mayer will begin a tour. I assume David will be with him. When John played his first show ever with Dead and Company, they used the same arena as rehearsal for a week before the tour opener. It's now called MVP arena but will always be the Knickerbocker Arena. Per Davids website he has some shows booked for May 22 so maybe private show or two in Nash before Mayer tour. Soon as I hit that damn lottery, I'm coming to talk to ya Doc. Another beautiful build.
had the pleasure of seeing this board up close at a gig in Dublin :) the SSS SRV in particular was great! i noticed he was also using some sort of foot drum? I was wondering if yous would know what he uses for that?
Hi Mason. Nice job as always! There's kind of very light beautiful vibrato (or trem) in the first sound he plays. Can you tell me where this tone comes from? I'm wondering if it's from the Flint (and I loved it!). Tks! * Edition: Just found it through the video (11:24). Tks again!
Great build as usual! I didnt know about the DOD mixer until watching this video. I actually had to stop the video and look one up on reverb and found a brand new old stock one for 49 bucks and pulled the trigger on buying it. I have no clue how i want to set it up yet, but i will figure something out when i get there, just happy i will have one to mess around with. And definitely thinking about going the preamp pedal with a Two Notes CAB route. Ive been trying to find a new amp lately, but im really liking the tone of that SSS into the Two Notes and love how its a direct solution as well. Definitely going to look more into that concept. Edit: I completely forgot that i wanted to ask u Mason if the DOD AC-240 Resistance Mixer has any noticeable tone suck due to its passive design?
Thermion Zero Dynamic Hybrid Amplifier has reproduced the tube amps transformers harmonics. I'm not sure if two notes has SRV cabinet IR patches because SRV used certain type of wood added to the back of his fender cabinets and changes the speakers to ceramic magnets. Its hard finding a power amplifier pedal that has those transformer harmonics because it would be nice to have a dumble guitar pedal that has those transformer harmonics. They make overdrive guitar pedals that you can saturate an audio transformer to get those harmonics which you can place after a dumble guitar pedal to drive the transformer to create harmonics before the two note cab sim. Vertex needs to come out with a dumble audio transformer guitar pedal to create those special transformer harmonics. The Fender Level Set Buffer has a Hi Freq adjustment which adds presence like a negative feedback of harmonics added into your guitar which I like a lot for a buffer pedal. Most buffer pedals don't have a presence control to add negative feedback harmonics.
Id say modulation. You can place it very early on in the signal chain, but its all subjective. The closer to the guitar, the better tracking it should have!
The A/B allow you to leave on the OC-3 the entire time and the A/B selects whether it's printed to the looper or not while always remaining the same while the loop is being created with the OC-3 always on.
@@earthboy1310 Took me a bit to wrap my head around too. The A/B after the OC3 gives him two options while the OC-3 is engaged a) Clean guitar and OC3Bass, both get looped. b) Clean guitar and OC3Bass goes to audience, but only the guitar part is looped. The OC3Bass never hits the ditto. and then a 3rd option which is to turn the OC3 off all together.
I’m confused why the octave needs the a/b, does this allow him to record a loop then add or remove octave to the loop while also deciding if he wants octave on the active playing that’s non loop? Or when multi layered loops have octave on certain ones? I’m not understand how it’s different then just turning on or off the octave when desired? 🤔
This allows you to record while the octave is on, but not have it printed to the looped track. Otherwise you'd loose the octave while you record without it on, then have to re-engage it. For real time looping this is key.
Shoegazers do it all the time it's a cool effect .I'm building a new board with a musicomlab switcher just to be able to switch signal routes .I see a lot of people throwing modulation before as well .Like phaser ,and vibe .
@@STRATMAN1969 hell yeah, man. I'm more of a computers+synths guy, so my pedals are more ancillary, but in software I often use a straight up patch matrix, so I can basically send anything anywhere, including feeding it back into itself. it's like, the best thing ever, and... risky... ; )
He's a master builder .Most people watching aren't professional musicians ,but just like learning behind the scene stuff .Besides anyone can zip tie a pedal to a shipping pallet : )
@@Frostylyxxx we're basically seeing endgame rigs, which are like, the step just before the giant "cabinets of pedals remote controlled from stage" behemoths. It's not supposed to be "average" in that sense. But the inspiration it gives me is free and amazing. But rig perfection did get me to buy those angled Neutrik XLR connectors at 7 bucks a pop...
@Frostylyxx, if you're familiar with the channel generally, you'll see that we provide free DIY resources to show you how to solder your own cables using the same materials that we use in this video along with all the resources for plugs, cables, etc. Furthermore, we provide tutorial videos showing how to do neat cable assembly, along with the resources to purchase your own zip ties, tie down mounts, etc. from Amazon and other readily available stores. This also goes for custom power cables - we have DIY tutorials showing you how to make your own and where to get the materials to do so. In other words, we offer an alternative to almost anything we sell in a DIY option that puts you directly in touch with a supplier which we have no connect to, nor profit from (and in the cases we do it would be via affiliate link and indicated in the video links). So yes, our cables are expensive. This is what it costs to make them in California, and providing a living wage make custom lengths and plug orientations as one-offs, which include a lifetime warranty. If that's unreasonable for you, again we provide a DIY tutorial showing how to make the exact same cable. I'm unaware of any other cable company that would offer this out as an alternative - that's about as democratic as I can make it.

Man what a Great tone - those direct sounds are so good!
Cab M and SSS are pretty great!!!

I love his playing!
Yes, he's great!
Love this setup!!!
Yes! Compact and ampless...pretty cool for his context.
Wow very cool set up!
Heck yea! DRH is the best!
Cool. I don’t think I could drive anything like this but awesome sounds and looks soo tidy.
Glad you dig it!
Hi Mason.
Nice job as always!
There's kind of very light beautiful vibrato (or trem) in the first sound he plays. Can you tell me where this tone comes from?
I'm wondering if it's from the Flint (and I loved it!).
Tks!
* Edition: Just found it through the video (11:24).
Tks again!
Vibrato is from the Flint.
I couldn't wait for the doc to show off the work done with this gorgeous pedalboard! Does anyone know of a mixer that is similar to the dod 240?
Rolls makes a smaller one.
Great build as usual! I didnt know about the DOD mixer until watching this video.

Thanks Brady, everything worked out wonderfully! Nice and small board with great tonal options!
I can hear compression, is that the 'amp' pedal?
Great video! Will the dumble IR work with a strymon Iridium?
As well as any IR would loaded into the iridium.
@@VertexEffectsInc Just tried to upload them to the Iridium and alas, they are the wrong bit rate and resolution and don't work with it
@@jonathanhornemusic what's the resolution you need? I might have another copy.
@@VertexEffectsInc it needs 24 bit, 96kHz files (at 500 ms)
This might be a dumb question, but are most patch cables you buy, are the soldered?
Most that you get pre-made are soldered or molded with (hopefully) soldered connections.
@@VertexEffectsInc thank you! Good to know!
What food group is a ring modulator in? Where do you recommend placing it?
Id say modulation. You can place it very early on in the signal chain, but its all subjective. The closer to the guitar, the better tracking it should have!
Hey doc, i still dont get the reason for a/b after oc3. Since its going thru the ditto and with loopers you can play over it?
The A/B allow you to leave on the OC-3 the entire time and the A/B selects whether it's printed to the looper or not while always remaining the same while the loop is being created with the OC-3 always on.
@@VertexEffectsInc is this also done to seperate the oc-3 from the guitar loop pedals ?
@@earthboy1310 Took me a bit to wrap my head around too. The A/B after the OC3 gives him two options while the OC-3 is engaged
a) Clean guitar and OC3Bass, both get looped.

@@Khaospenguiny yeah thanks m8, i figured out that its more on being able to do stuff more easily with less thinking and more playing !
😳😳😳ummmm I need one
Yes!
Do you like planet Waves solderless patch cabels? Morgan
Thanks for watching Morgan. Not a big fan of solderless cables. Soldered cables are the way to go and the strongest connection.
I see. Rockboards space saving patch Cable? For exempel Bender? Really tight fitting. Thanks Morgan Sweden
Marketing is sooo amazing, I love studying it
I agree Dumb-A$$es should study more .

where is the 29 pedals Euna!?
Thanks for watching Jorge! That one is on his studio pedal board, this build was meant for his solo shows!
@@VertexEffectsInc Thanks for your reply Jason, btw can you tell me what you think about this pedal Euna from 29 Pedals!?

He's treating the Ultraphonix as amp in itself. Or with the Flint reverb can be after!

the problem with this board is it's full of Vertex pedals.
🤑
There are only two of our pedals on the board.
@@VertexEffectsInc exactly. 2 too many = full.
The materials used on most of these pedal board builds are not for the average worker. Lol. $33 for a single Mogami patch cable.
Paying a premium for convenience and labor essentially. Buy the cable and connectors in bulk at best tronics and make cables all day.
