My Pedal Board is a Rock Organ

One subscriber expressed interest in knowing more about my gear, so here is a rundown of my pedal board, which consists (with the exception of the Boss DD-20) of the tonal core of a formerly much larger rig. I view it essentially as one big rock organ emulation pedal, and that's (for the most part) what I use it for in my home studio work.

As usual, this went on for much longer than I could reasonably expect anyone to invest in watching it, but I don't do jumpcuts or strive for short-format brevity. I make the kind of videos I like watching. Slow, leisurely, in-depth, and with occasional stories related to what is being discussed.

The chain:

1. Emma TransMORGrifier compressor
2. Akai Intelliphase P1
3. Visual Sound H2O Liquid Chorus & Echo
4. Boss DD-20 Giga Delay
5. Boss RT-20 Rotary Ensemble

If you are new to home audio production and would like to learn how you can begin making your own multi-track recordings at little to no start-up cost, my first tutorial series on the subject begins here:

On this channel, I hope to show those who are interested how to set up a basic home studio so that they can begin learning to record, mix, and master songs or any other audio projects of their choosing. As a former long-time abuser of alcohol, I wholeheartedly recommend this hobby, for those to whom it appeals, as an addiction replacement therapy. Tracking and mixing audio requires focus and presence of mind. You can't do it well, if at all, when you're impaired. Audio work has the added benefit of being both relaxing and goal-oriented. At the end of a project, you have a clear result that reflects all that you have learned and accomplished on the way to finishing it. Overcoming the many small challenges that you encounter along the way provides dopamine, and listening to a mix that you can feel proud of produces serotonin and other "feel-good" neurotransmitters that are sorely lacking in your brain and central nervous system when you are detoxing from long-term substance abuse. Audio work is also highly meditative. It sharpens focus, enhances mental clarity, and balances the emotions. Above all, it opens doors and pathways within yourself to discover and unleash creativity. Through audio work, you can speed up the process of healing your body, your mind, and your soul.

My lessons are deliberately slow and long-format. Learning new skills can be stressful. My goal for each lesson is to make it a relaxing and enjoyable experience for you, and above all to show you that with a little patience and persistence, you can achieve more than you might think possible in a reasonably short while.
