Is not the tone he shows that I liked, is the way he thought about his sounds. And I’m happy to see that is exactly my same approach to a sound, whether is a good or bad! Three, maybe nothing more than 4 stages and your gig is done!❤ and probably a Bacci Baritone guitar and his hands!😂

Most of social media is meant to sell you more things, but Mark is showing you with a couple basic pedals you can get enough to do anything you need. Refreshing. And true. Reverb, drive, boost, tuner, guitar, amp. Already a lot
Behringer sells pedals that work very well, I have 6 and haven't had a problem with any of them... for about $30.oo bucks a piece. One can't play the headstock on a guitar and name brands aren't always better than the originals. That myth has been busted by the influx of Indonesian built instruments. Fight against guitar snobbery. The idea is to Play Music. haha
Ambient tones my fave. Love that red color with no pickguard. There's just something visually natural and pleasing without a pickguard. Nice Mark .. thank you.
This beautiful candy red PRS Fiore has a MusicMan scratch plate less look to it. Gosh, what an easy going and happy player Mark is. His instruction is on point and flavored with his joy of guitar. Thanks, GC for putting on these series of great musicians.
I have PRS Fiore guitar and I can say that's very universal instrument with 11 pickup combinations. Mark with Paul designed fantastic guitar with very clean sound and great sustain.
Great video. Mark is a killer player and a nice guy. I met him in Dallas after a gig. This was a fun and very enjoyable video. Stacking pedals is a a great way to get your own tone.
Mark Lettieri is the man! Loved this guy ever since seeing his super cool looping videos years ago and obviously love all his Snarky Pup, FF and solo stuff. Killer player and all around good guy
I bought an HDRX 20 over a year ago and then the other day I'm watching a Mark Lettieri Group video and noticed he was using the same amp and lo and behold, here it is again! I can't say enough about how amazing this amp is. If you really crank it, it breaks up sooo nicely but it also has the most amazing cleans and I love the extra tone options. If you're looking for an amazing tube amp, get the HDRX 20.
i am indeed searching for an amp, can you play like at a bedroom level witch this amp ? i like the sound of this amp but i'm scared that it will be too loud ? Can u maybe give me your exeprience on that point ?
I really dig the mid-gain tone here and how the playing dynamics change the sound substantially. I’m not a guitarist, but could understand his explanations well. I saw Mark with Snarky Puppy about a year ago and wow what a great show. 10 guys packed on a small stage and everything was clean, tight, and sounded great.
Mark, I have been trying to reach the edge of break up which you have shown me so easily how to do. Many thanks I have it. Les Paul + Fender Delux reverb and tube screamer with Wampler echo. It is now exactly what I've wanted due to you.
Thank you Mark, your playing and knowledge is very impressive and inspiring... you're really doing the thing in the music business, wow. Humble and funny too, loved it.
I discovered Mark on Martin Miller's channel...the Purple Rain cover. Incredible talent! I enjoy his playing. Glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.
Wow, he’s a great guy, very nice and colloquial, he reveals all his Italian roots, which I love it. Useless to say, he’s also an unbelievable player and composer, go check “The Baritone Session Vol. II”, it’s an incredible album!❤❤❤❤
Love Mark’s work with Snarky Puppy. Fisrt time I’ve really heard the PRS Fiore in depth. Different from my PRS (US Silver Sky ahd a SC594) - reminds me more of my 1985 Fender HSS strat a lot
So signal chain also will make a big difference. What is in the effects loop versus what is in front of the amps pre amp, for instance. Although it isn’t obvious, the signal from the guitar seems to be: ML EQ drive -> HRM drive -> Halo delay -> Hall of Fame reverb to the PRS HDRX. There are a lot of colors in there that could come differently with an alternative pathway.
It takes training your ears like a chef has trained his palette. The chef knows his ingredients applicability as a player should know what his boxes and knobs do. The chef has a vision on how his dish should taste and changes his ingredients accordingly as ingredient quality varies from place to place, kitchen to kitchen. A player also plays in different environments from bedrooms to clubs and its going to take different tweaks to get that sound you’re striving for in different settings. All of this comes from trial and error and knowledge of your boxes, amp and guitar settings.
I recently bought an H90 and an HX Stomp, but I still prefer my OG TCE Hall of Fame's reverbs. The only Toneprint I ever loaded on it, was one by Paul Gilbert - for a Van Halen type sound. Definitely one of the best pedals I've ever bought, and I have many. It's just so easy to dial in, and super versatile.
Hmm . . . nothing bad here, but nothing new either. I'd really enjoy seeing someone at Mark's level of musical proficiency doing a deep dive in to something like the Roland GR-55. That machine still has sounds in it that no one has ever heard yet.
Great video. Thank you. What I see and hear in the tone of any blues player, is a fat mid-rangy and sometimes a nasal dark tune screamerish and dumbly sound. One thing that I noticed in 80's music, that in my opinion is the peak of electric guitar era, is the tones were very mid-scooped marshally sound that you can find in many iconic tracks. It was not bad if the gentleman was touch basing to that subject as well.
Very much appreciate all the hard work and information. But why all the random camera cuts. Distracting from what you are saying. Just hold a shot. Especially when showing the pedals.
His tube amp is set so clean that the difference is probably negligible. The beauty of a "clean pedal platform" is that setting up your rig quickly is a piece of cake. Two cords, done.
2 questions: has PRS fixed the design fail on you sig. model where the pickup switch chips away the finish when flipped all the way in either direction? And am I seeing this correctly? Do you have your dirt boxes AFTER your verb & delay boxes? I know of almost no players who do that. I had a pair of red Chuck's back in the late '80s. People take me more seriously in the gray pair I have now.
@@WhereSilenceDies It looks just the opposite . He even says "i start with the reverb." I know he meant to shape the sound, but .... Color me confused, too.
@@ZzzzzzzxxxzzzYZ4 it is a little confusing, but looking at the cables and where the in and output on these pedals are you will find it is guitar to drives and then to delay and reverb.

Which of the tones that Mark demonstrated was your favorite? Let us know in the comments! 🎸🤘
all of this, I'd drink out of this mans boots if I could sound like him on guitar
All four
"The age of breakup" hahaha. The edge of breakup is a sound I've been working on for a while. Love it...

Edge a breakup is the way to go! ❤
Mark Lettieri, legendary guitarist and, apparently, the only man to match his wedding ring to his shoes and guitar. Extra cool!
He’s let himself down with only one red pedal though 😆
I got guitar with ring lol. Now I just need Hawaiian Koa shoes
Mark has slowly become my favorite current guitarist. I need a fiore now
100% I have a few "new" heroes and Mark is in the list... at age 50+ I don't add new players lightly
Larnell was a young student in a computer graphics class i taught,
I also taught Math.
At 16 years of age our school Bandleader - now deceased-told me Larnell is The One. He won first place in 3 Jazziz magazine world wide competitions. Oh yes, Did Not enter the one for drumming.
School bandleader recorded and toured with the Beach Boys. Was also in Buddy Rich’s band. some great stories.
He told me in his music career Maybe just Maybe a student of this caliber comes around once in ten years.
I occasionally jammed with Larnell. He often played..piano!!!!
His brother records with the world’s biggest pop star.
The Weeknd😊
I bought a Fiore from Guitar Center OKC and I love it! I even got Mark to jam on it in my office!

That guy is one hell of a guitarist, everything he plays always sound great and original.
Ambient tones my fave. Love that red color with no pickguard. There's just something visually natural and pleasing without a pickguard. Nice Mark .. thank you.
Agree on the missing pickguard
I have one of these. It's a great playing and sounding guitar as well.
Mark is such an incredible musician. Great showman, too. And a radly good dude
Mark Lettieri is an amazing player/composer. Fearless Flyers are fantastic, and Mark's baritone albums are great.
This beautiful candy red PRS Fiore has a MusicMan scratch plate less look to it.
Gosh, what an easy going and happy player Mark is. His instruction is on point and flavored with his joy of guitar.
Thanks, GC for putting on these series of great musicians.
One of the finest musicians and a super nice gent too!!! Great demo!!!
Everything explains so simple and effective. Right to the point, thanks so much
Mark stays busy because he knows how to get alot of tone from the tools he uses. Very smart, very practical, and a fantastic artist.
He is so good. Such tasty licks, no matter if they are shreddy or bluesy.
Great business from PRS and GC rolling with Mark, he's one of the very best guitar players who'll put a silver bullet between your eyes ...G...
I have PRS Fiore guitar and I can say that's very universal instrument with 11 pickup combinations. Mark with Paul designed fantastic guitar with very clean sound and great sustain.
the high gain tone is nice; my favourite tone is the santana voice;
Great video. Mark is a killer player and a nice guy. I met him in Dallas after a gig. This was a fun and very enjoyable video. Stacking pedals is a a great way to get your own tone.
Mark is an incredible musician and a really cool dude!!! I thought every one of the tones were stellar! Thanks Mark!
I think the way you play, the quality of the guitar and amp is what make good sounding tones
loving the Halo! Andy Wood turned me onto that one made by Keeley and Andy Timmons
Thank you sir!
Mark Lettieri is the man! Loved this guy ever since seeing his super cool looping videos years ago and obviously love all his Snarky Pup, FF and solo stuff. Killer player and all around good guy

Been my favorite guitar player for at least 10 years! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Shook his hand in appreciation of his skill at NAMM some year ago, a very pleasant individual!
Great advice, great playing! Mark is a very cool guy as well. Thanks
Mark, I have been trying to reach the edge of break up which you have shown me so easily how to do. Many thanks I have it. Les Paul + Fender Delux reverb and tube screamer with Wampler echo. It is now exactly what I've wanted due to you.
Love that tone he’s getting with the HRM high gain.
Mark is a treasure, man. He’s achieved guitar hero status.
Thank you Mark, your playing and knowledge is very impressive and inspiring... you're really doing the thing in the music business, wow. Humble and funny too, loved it.
My favorite guitar player for a long time. Great personality and I really like his PRS Fiore better that the other ;-)
What a cool dude AND a great picker!!
Really cool to hear him speak volumes.
I discovered Mark on Martin Miller's channel...the Purple Rain cover. Incredible talent! I enjoy his playing. Glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.
Oooo, I want more of these from killer artists
LOVE the red Chuck Taylor’s …
Wow, he’s a great guy, very nice and colloquial, he reveals all his Italian roots, which I love it. Useless to say, he’s also an unbelievable player and composer, go check “The Baritone Session Vol. II”, it’s an incredible album!❤❤❤❤
Wow, really usefull video. I think every electric guitar players need to watch it!
Thank you!

Is this chef a… painter?
Stellar tones!!! 🎉Edge of breakup was killer!
This makes me feel good about my OG hall of fame.

@@shawnhedrick3570 i got mine used with a mateus asato preset, sounds killer. Will look for that gilbert one
He's such a happy dude
Excellent info! Very practical and explained clearly. Thanks!
Nice licks. I heard some Frampton and Jeff Beck sounds.
Great tone
Great tones man!
"Edge of Breakup", ... my wife would definitely watch that movie on the Hallmark Channel. Seriously.
That fiore is enticing
A great guitar player. Big influence for me. Nice and clean tips. Thanks, Mark
Nice tones ! My favorites are the High gain lead tone and the Ambiant tone ! 🤘
I've been practicing that clean part he was playing.
Fantatisc video, thanks for sharing with us!
Perfectly tuned guitar!
Really great tutorial
This guy looks like John Mayer finished Berklee
Love the demo
I think it sounds amazing
What a nice person!
deep tone !
God I love my PRS Fiore
me too!
Three tones!…. Then demonstrates like ten different tones.
Nice sounds sir. I want an HRM bad!
Mark is a master but I just never could get into how PRS guitars sound
PMS..... Where's the Beef?
They're all hat, no cattle....🐂
Hmm . . . nothing bad here, but nothing new either. I'd really enjoy seeing someone at Mark's level of musical proficiency doing a deep dive in to something like the Roland GR-55. That machine still has sounds in it that no one has ever heard yet.

Need some HRM pedals now 😅😅
The tone at 4:26 is nice!
Surely you're joking?
Hearing a lot of Lukather in Marks playing here, in his tone too
Very much appreciate all the hard work and information. But why all the random camera cuts. Distracting from what you are saying. Just hold a shot. Especially when showing the pedals.
having the delay and reverb in the effect loop would give a slightly better tone... especially if you start using some preamp gain...
His tube amp is set so clean that the difference is probably negligible. The beauty of a "clean pedal platform" is that setting up your rig quickly is a piece of cake. Two cords, done.

The delay and verb is after the drives here
@@WhereSilenceDies It looks just the opposite . He even says "i start with the reverb." I know he meant to shape the sound, but .... Color me confused, too.
@@ZzzzzzzxxxzzzYZ4 it is a little confusing, but looking at the cables and where the in and output on these pedals are you will find it is guitar to drives and then to delay and reverb.
He's got the Hall of Fame not because of the Reverb....But because it's RED
Pretty silly that guitar center picked a hall of fame but the don't sell them new (or any tc electronic products) and its the best pedal in the video
When is Fender coming back with the weekly shows
🤘
So, if I got the concept correctly, one should have a 2:1 ratio of drive and non-drive pedals on the pedalboard? 😀
Do you select your different tones with some kind of midi pedal to reset the various settings for each tone?
Does anyone know what that console at 6:50 is?
Are all of these pedals going through the front of the amp or was he using an effects loop (for example) for the delay pedal? Thanks!
No effects loop on this amp so it's all in front
playing: fantastic. tone? just ok. i would like it to be a lot fuller with a badass 'x' factor to it
Are all the pedals in front of the amp ?
Which PRS is Mark using as well as the cab ( a 112 or a 212) ? Thank you

His edge of breakup tone is way beyond broken up
Whats going on with the flickering of the Halo?
Probably a camera related thing.
That's the rate of delay
It's a distant Quasar....❇️
千鳥のノブ、こんなにギター巧かったのか。
芸達者だな。
My guitar's volume only turns the volume down LOL.
I really admire Mark's skills and his beautiful tone but I cannot help to say that Mark's shoes complement his guitar color.
Is it just me if does the HRM sound a bit like a Hot Rodded Marshall 😅
It's too bad you weren't running in stereo with those two big beautiful stacks on each side? The hall of fame is obviously stereo out.
HRM means a hot rodded Marshall. I think so......
It stands for Hot Rubber Monkey, and is inspired by the sound of a Dumble-style amp with the HRM EQ mod.
i've followed mark for years. just now realized he could be the twin brother to jenny slate. google her, tell me i'm wrong.
Mark looks like Nick bromhall
It's like James brown and Joe Satriani had a musical baby....
3 essential tones. Jimmy Page, Paul Kossoff, Clapton "woman". There you go!
who is this guy?
Just some dude…
@@mjlettieri AWESOME dude. Love your records!
.... coming from myself who wants some real gear, BADLY.
