I’ll always prefer the original lineup but this dude really held the band together for the last 18 years. I think it’s great that he is still on board even with James being back in. The current lineup is amazing.
I'm gonna miss this guy. I'm sure Kiki will be great but this guy was a key member that helped keep the band alive and bring them back into their prime again in the last few years. He contributed so many cool soundscapes and effects added to their songs that add so much atmosphere during live shows that really added to the thrill of them.
for those of us studying this rig thinking we have what it takes to land this gig in 2024 that instantly realized what a hole this is to fill. Man, what a setup. Jeff is clearly a true pro
Mark Lugg That’s true. And I know she’s got major issues and it’s probably her fault but I really feel that she was the musical soul of the band besides Billy and he doesn’t want to admit it. I saw an interview where he was explaining how he chose songs and the direction of them musically, especially the ones that were gonna be on Melancholy and she basically sent the Pumpkins in a direction that obviously can’t be reproduced as well anymore
This group was my favorite band when I was in Highschool in the 90s. It is still my favorite band - even with the drama between members, etc. This is all about the music. Great stuff. Seeing this interview is just so super awesome.
@@BrendanThompson Exactly. Before becoming a 'pumpkin', he used to play in a shoegazing band called The Lassie Foundation. They were pretty good. He should definitely check them out.
I've been a hobbiest guitar player for over 20 years now and it still surprises me at how much these pros know. I have like 2 distortion pedals and these guys have super effects computers. It's pretty freaking amazing.
Lol... pretty sure I didn't understand anything in this video, but still watched the entire thing and have a greater appreciation than ever for artists Cheers!
I've got the cheapest model in the Revstar line and I love it. I prefer it over my dad's american strat and tele even. They're fantastic guitars for the money.
@@kidamnesiac6823 And that proves how little you know about music, because sound is totally subjective, there is no such thing as "good" or "better". Most top level guitarists have had the time to dial in their own perfect sound, and guess what? they are all different. There is no "better".
I would just get lost in all of that gear. It's impressive, don't get me wrong. I think it's just too complicated for me. It's crazy how far the pumpkins have come with all of this stuff. Wasn't all that early stuff mainly JCM800s and Big Muffs?
as time goes one, they experimented with stuff, and now theyre essentially touring their hits from those eras. They need all of this stuff to properly emulate all the seperate SP eras.
the first album is a JCM800 with KT88 tubes cranked to hell and back, boosted and EQ’d with an A/DA MP1 Preamp. Siamese Dream is the same JCM800, set to clean, with an Op Amp Big Muff set to destroy. Both albums have an insane amount of layering (at least 6 rhythm tracks per guitar, so 12 total, and then more for colouration), but that’s the core sound.
That thing of saying this person who looks vaguely like that other one is whatever whatever is Super tired. Let it go. Plus know one knows who Mr yap is
Very under rated, at least was......................The kind of real guitarist that gets noticed without the business end of it, but with his playing. I would like to hear him in.... A perfect Circle........Lol, for real !
It's funny to see people who have all this rack equipment and all these settings and then you have people like Tom Morello who've used the same 1 amp, 2 guitars, and 5 pedals his whole career
whatever gets you to where you need to be. Corgan’s dead set on the Pumpkins having a lot of versatility, and along with that you’d need a lot of tones. If the Pumpkins stuck to sounding like Gish/Siamese Dream all the time, all you’d need is a big muff, some modulation and a delay (for rhythm and clean stuff, solos are a different story).
infant annihilator I think he could do most if not all of what he’s doing there on the kemper, he Could even profile all his cool little preamp modules and leave those at home. To be fair he has a simple setup really. Not a ton of stuff going on.
I wish I could agree with the idea that having 1,000 different sounds is a positive thing. To me it only seems to get in the way of songwriting. If your purpose is to make the guitar sound like the wind howling on a distant planet in space then I guess this is your thing. But if your purpose is to write songs all of this extra sound is just a distraction.

Dude brings the Pumpkins to another level. Billy scored when he found Jeff.
@HULK HOGAN Every other Pumpkin is a yes man/woman

He came to the band in 2007. When you made this comment he’d been with them for 12 years….
he left 😢 october 24th

We are happy to see our preamps in current Billy's and Jeff's rig.
I was actually wondering what those preamps are. I'll have to check them out! 😁
Do you make the JCM 800 preamp?
He didn't ask you dickhead

*@queen_peaks* n0 biig deaL
Just saw Jeff on the Pumpkins 2018 tour, he tore it up
I was really surprised and impressed by his playing. The guy is a beast!
Jeff offered a ton of insight into his rig. It's a bit too complicated for me to understand, but he really does have a lot going on!
Cavenue same here. Its just me and my trusted orange distortion
I think this is the most i seen this guy talk
Edward M that’s cause billy never stops talking! Lol
Always nice to see a rig rundown with a guitarist who knows his stuff very well indeed. This was a good one!
I actually submitted for the open guitarist spot. After watching this, I feel like a toddler volunteering to fill in for Christian McCaffery.
Jeff absolutely killed it live when I saw the them in August. This a great interview too. Nice to know he’s a Helix user like me.
Jeff Schroeder
Other Aliases:
Jeff Shredder, General Shrederalisimo, The Federer of Shrederer, "Judge Shred" Jeffricus Maximus Shredhemus(t)...
That high gain mode sounds absolutely sick. Fantastic tone.
feels like listening to a very tired andrew huang
Wtf your so right lol
Watched Jeff Shredder play for the Violet Burning, all the way back to the early 90s in clubs. Amazing musician
for those of us studying this rig thinking we have what it takes to land this gig in 2024 that instantly realized what a hole this is to fill. Man, what a setup. Jeff is clearly a true pro
3:25 he goes shreddy mode!!! Jeff Shredder rips
I don't care what anybody says this guy is a pumpkin
Agreed. Let's face it - band members change. No sense in getting upset about it or not "accepting" the new guy.
Mark Lugg Yeah but the elephant in the room....is most of us miss Darcy
@@DuggieDug111 I suppose, but it's never happening again. People need to move on.
Mark Lugg That’s true. And I know she’s got major issues and it’s probably her fault but I really feel that she was the musical soul of the band besides Billy and he doesn’t want to admit it.

Jeff is underrated
Love that Revstar
Eventide9 is one of the most important pedals in Siamese Dream sound.
Not even halfway trhough it but already wondering if Mr. Schroeder comes from a guitar tech background. Wow on the information. Well done.
nah but he's a shoegazer = pedal fiend
@@BrendanThompson Exactly.
Before becoming a 'pumpkin', he used to play in a shoegazing band called The Lassie Foundation.
They were pretty good.
He should definitely check them out.
James Iha next please!

Don’t forget that they have rig technicians who do the heavy lifting. Nothing in this interview was overly complicated tech stuff anyway.
@@JJ-ze6vbok?
Lol... pretty sure I didn't understand anything in this video, but still watched the entire thing and have a greater appreciation than ever for artists
Cheers!
That's my clean sound... Classic rock crunch. Lol
very impressive
I wish you a nice Sunday evening
all the best Frank
such an amazing guitar player.....
I have that same guitar & I love it. I didn't even know Jeff or Chino from Deftones used one as well!
I love that he's using that guitar. It's a very cheap one, brilliantly made. Exactly what a guitar should be.
I've got the cheapest model in the Revstar line and I love it. I prefer it over my dad's american strat and tele even. They're fantastic guitars for the money.
He has the expensive one in that line though. Around the same price of an american standard strat.
An amazing man. Thank you Jeff
Not ever a pumpkin fan But this guy is an Awesome guitarist! Thanks❤
Man, you have *the best* guitar sounds I’ve ever heard! 😮
I did think of taking notes, but then I saw your rig and realised that would be pointless 😃
then you literally have no taste in good sound, amp gain is better and the rig is a lot better than what most dudes use, it’s pointless
@@kidamnesiac6823 And that proves how little you know about music, because sound is totally subjective, there is no such thing as "good" or "better". Most top level guitarists have had the time to dial in their own perfect sound, and guess what? they are all different. There is no "better".
Great vid!!
Just bought that Helix rack...just the presets sounds amazing...the tones u can make are endless!!! No more pedals for me!!!
Had no idea Jeremy Piven's brother was in SP...
"It took me a second to wrap my head around all the capabilities" (As I think.. wtf has he been talking about for the last 7 minutes? :) )
Jeff Schroeder? More like Jeff Shredder Huh!
Matt Taylor it’s such a good nickname. He’s earned it though
I would just get lost in all of that gear. It's impressive, don't get me wrong. I think it's just too complicated for me. It's crazy how far the pumpkins have come with all of this stuff. Wasn't all that early stuff mainly JCM800s and Big Muffs?
The early stuff was about 250 guitars layered! Lol..

And Fender Blender. Shin-E Fuzz

Hey Jeff! We met a while back and hung out in Corpus. Just saying HI!
6:19-6:28
Dang, that sounds really nice.
Those Rail Hammers ❤😮😢
Why to keep 3 well skilled guitarists?
I knew Dr Yap was a guitar player but I didn't know he joined the pumpkins.
That thing of saying this person who looks vaguely like that other one is whatever whatever is Super tired. Let it go. Plus know one knows who Mr yap is
@@dougcameron6609 cool
Helix!❤
Revstars are great value for money.
A guitarist in 2018
"yeah it sounds good"
Nothing like the older YAMAHA SGs
🙌🎸🙌Inspiration🙌♥️🙌
Billy Corgan would love to hang out with this kid 😋 angels save nerds 😇
After watching you play your guitar in Seattle yesterday, it left me memorized… beautifully played.
dam that's sick
Very under rated, at least was......................The kind of real guitarist that gets noticed without the business end of it, but with his playing. I would like to hear him in.... A perfect Circle........Lol, for real !
Big shoes to fill but Jeff does just fine great guitar player
This is a great helix commercial.
I truly hope I understand what he’s talking. The numbers and the alphabets. Cool
This guy looks like my orthodontist.
Dr. Yap?
where is the Yamaha Pacifica he was gushing over?
Schroeder!
What kind of effect uses Jeff an 6:18? Chorus and compression? No gain?
Somebody blow this guy! Fuckin legend
What kind of rack mount is he using for the half rack preamps? Anyone?
hey jeff Schroeder, y'got 'nuff gear(?)...(*they don't call him a shoegazer for nothin'
So how much you reckon all that equipment costs?
Just in those amp clone pre amps is $3000. I would guess, and I'm no expert, but $7-10,000?? But like I said, just a guess.
Revstars aren't pricey
@@mattgilbert7347 yeah, I was just speculating about the gear, the guitar wasn't even in the equation.
So much he could only afford the yamaha guitar after he was done. jk the yamaha is actually a nice guitar
Synth 9 all the way!
What exactly is the Helix actually doing for you?
No wonder Billy picked him.. He's also technical like the guy, probably not as crazy like him
Tryin' to thro ah little Jimmy in der, ain't ya?
Whoa.lol 1st axe i played with ..
Can I get one Spicy Pumpkin Asian Dolce Latte please?
Anyone know what brand/model strap, Jeff is using?
Stu Burton I remember he was using some of the straps from planet waves, not sure if this one though.
@@sssayooo many thanks for that, will have a look at the range.
That’s a super expensive setup right there!
Good god. When i was playing i wish i knew 5 percent of this stuff.
I get good guy vibes from him
Poor Joe Bonamassa... makes one silly comment, and will forevermore be the source of uncomfortable laughter in relation to his pedals, hahaha!
Does Billy go looking for Asian guitarists on purpose?
James and Jeff have been a part of the lineup for about the same time 15 years now, so…
Sadly the pumpkins have not written any masterpieces since the 90s. So there’s that.
Nice setup but it would of been nice to see a few riffs
David Johnson *would HAVE and he did play a little.
what? where's james?
livio1396 in A Perfect Circle last thing I heard
It's funny to see people who have all this rack equipment and all these settings and then you have people like Tom Morello who've used the same 1 amp, 2 guitars, and 5 pedals his whole career
same 5 riffs his whole career too

Quién es este chino??
dang so complex
Jesus, how many effects are necessary to sound good?
i miss he's dope face
He should ditch all that and get a Kemper.
too basic🙄
infant annihilator I think he could do most if not all of what he’s doing there on the kemper, he Could even profile all his cool little preamp modules and leave those at home. To be fair he has a simple setup really. Not a ton of stuff going on.
Didn't understand most of it.
I hate watching these videos because they use such high Gain and get no buzz/crackling from their amps
noise gates
I have an orange amp a fender Strat with a humbucker and a ds1 pedal so he’s jelous

ouch
Es el tipo de rig que quita las ganas de tocar la guitarra.... 😞
Christ!
I just plug straight into my Orange with a noise gate in the loop.
Jesus!
you're not as rich/famous as the smashing pumpkins.
Lord!
Correct.
What?😀
This guy does not look like a guitar player. More like an accountant
well, he did graduate from UCLA
In Pharmaceuticals of all things.
Tanta mamada para que solo escuchemos distorsión, delay y choru... fin.
I am sorry. James Iha more......
That’s annoying and I’ve been playing guitar for 30 years
That set up is the pro-est, prowess 🫒🕎😋
