1 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,520 Dude. You know, you should start the 2 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,960 episode just both of us tapping really bad. 3 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,920 I think we had about 3 seconds in there. 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,160 That was pretty nice. I think with that weird intro we 5 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,400 can get to the weird gear episode part. 2. 6 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,760 Part 2 We have had an honorable weird gear episode with Dweezil 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,320 Zappa. That was weird. 8 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,240 That was just weird guitars, primarily with a weird wasn't 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,400 really weird, just kind of awesome. 10 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,920 Amazing. Truly weird gear. 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,200 What it means to us. Totally unexpected victory and 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,760 success for the show. We. 13 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,640 Brought it up and and I thought in my mind I was like weird gear 14 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,320 and I said I'm into it. I said but is it that cool of an 15 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,560 idea? And by golly, was that one of 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,760 the funnest pods, don't you? Understand, my friend, that 17 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,240 weird gear is timeless. Weird gear is timeless and also 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,840 it's it reminds us of what's so fun about guitar. 19 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,600 Let's go into the C4 synth from Source Audio. 20 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,000 Nice. Let's hear this. 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,319 Yeah, OK. See that's. 22 00:01:11,890 --> 00:01:15,090 It's amazing. There is a lot of weird gear in 23 00:01:15,090 --> 00:01:17,730 this studio. Some of it we've already delved 24 00:01:17,730 --> 00:01:20,330 into in the last episode. Please go check that out. 25 00:01:20,330 --> 00:01:21,210 Yeah. Watch that first one. 26 00:01:21,250 --> 00:01:25,050 And if this is your first experience, get ready to maybe 27 00:01:25,050 --> 00:01:27,730 share a laugh, find out some tones that you didn't know you 28 00:01:27,730 --> 00:01:31,970 needed in your life, and watch us potentially struggle with 29 00:01:31,970 --> 00:01:34,800 great joy. Thing is, we spent like 45 30 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,320 minutes before we started these cameras trying to figure this 31 00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:40,520 piece of weird gear out. Should we just say what it is? 32 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,360 Because I don't know if we're going to have time. 33 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,840 We're waiting to hear back from our friends at Neural DSP who 34 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,640 have nothing to do with this product helping us. 35 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,480 It's like hilarious that they're the ones helping us. 36 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,880 Shout out to my friend Jamie over at Tone Central Station. 37 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,480 This guitar has Can you call it a guitar? 38 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,480 It's a guitar. This guitar has been sitting 39 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,600 there since I started going to a shop. 40 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,040 It's a 1988 Yamaha. Is it called AC 10? 41 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,160 That sounds correct. Let's show the people. 42 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,040 If nothing else, we can show our attempts to try and get it to 43 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,080 work before the episode ends. If we get a call from our friend 44 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,680 Max from Neural, we're trying to use the quad cortex. 45 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,520 We should just call Max. He's going to get there 46 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:26,440 Facetiming me. Max Legend, How are you, man? 47 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,720 What up dude? It's me and Jared. 48 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,600 What's up dude? So if you have MIDI through and 49 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:40,040 MIDI over USB on on the QC, open a MIDI channel on Logic and if 50 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,800 you set it to Omni, it'll see everything coming in. 51 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,600 You have my number? Like if if I answer, I'm awake 52 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,960 and I'm always happy to help. If I don't, I'm probably not. 53 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,560 Yeah, I got your number. Now you're screwed. 54 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,120 Same thing could be true, right? We're going to screw each other. 55 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,680 And that's why Neural is the best sponsor of any show ever. 56 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,680 Well, we love. Roswell Pro Audio and Neural 57 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,920 DSP, those are our two sponsors. Neural sponsoring this episode. 58 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,920 You can use no cover charge for a discount on any of their 59 00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:17,200 plugins, which now includes architect John Mayer X. 60 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:23,640 Oh yeah, got a quick ship Amazon package, and I think it's the 61 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:27,880 cable that we need, hopefully. Oh, look, there it is. 62 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,520 Quad Cortex. That's what we're looking for 63 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,840 with Max. I think it's as simple as that. 64 00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:35,240 Pick up that thing. You kind of got to get a little 65 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,200 close and plug in that oh cable. Is this is this your jam stick 66 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,280 cable? Yeah, that's the jam stick 67 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,400 cable. Dude, I'm telling you what, I'm 68 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,680 not going to be one of those guys, but all I'm going to say 69 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,880 is if I ever go to a gig, you're not my and I got to plug in my 70 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,320 USBC. All right, just turn out. 71 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,800 The ball. Whoa, dog. 72 00:04:13,410 --> 00:04:16,010 Hey, it's like when you're a kid at like the soccer game, you 73 00:04:16,010 --> 00:04:17,529 know? And like in Milwaukee, it was 74 00:04:17,529 --> 00:04:19,890 the Milwaukee wave or whatever. Be like, they're going for the 75 00:04:19,890 --> 00:04:26,730 goal, dude. That's kind of like when you 76 00:04:26,730 --> 00:04:30,120 fall. So this is a MIDI guitar in 77 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,600 2026. OK, It easily controls any patch 78 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,520 that I want. Let me show you another one. 79 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:51,760 That's cool, almost sounds. What's funny is like so clean, 80 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,720 like the actual no, it's you don't hear any guitar. 81 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,480 Like there's, you don't hear my fingers, you know? 82 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,600 Yeah. And you'll notice it's perfectly 83 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,080 in tune because it's mini. Oh, that's why I sound so good. 84 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,440 I'm perfectly in tune for once. This is the one time I'll ever 85 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:15,080 be in tune. Still sounds kind of funky and 86 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,440 it's a little funky too with like, I don't want to say 87 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,480 latency, but the way that I hear it compared to like how it comes 88 00:05:20,480 --> 00:06:01,080 out. This is like that, the weird 89 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,720 acid trip version of like, come to Jamaica. 90 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,000 Wow, great. This is awesome the. 91 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,240 Jam stick. Quite an innovation I would say. 92 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,480 Really, actually really cool. And it's also an electric 93 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,560 guitar. It's got an input I. 94 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,200 Was about to say, So it does, yeah. 95 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,360 You can plug this in just like a normal. 96 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,800 And this is the MIDI bit. That's cool, man. 97 00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:20,200 Pretty cool. Yeah, really cool. 98 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,120 In the 80s they didn't have a USBC. 99 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,200 Man, what did they do? How did they plug in their 100 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,320 iPhones? Yamaha G10C, We're going to try 101 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,640 and hook that up. So I haven't slept since since 102 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,000 we turned the cameras off. I went to your party. 103 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,600 I was still, I was still holding this G. 10 You know, it's funny 104 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,240 as you walked funny when you came in the party. 105 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,720 I feel like you had the G10 in your jacket G. 10 in my like, 106 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,440 hey man, it's like messing with it, but we figured it out. 107 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,400 It works. It's it's alive. 108 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,480 It's going to happen for us, I think. 109 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:54,840 I mean, if it doesn't then I'm going to I might destroy this 110 00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:56,800 computer. So just to put this out there, 111 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,680 man, when I saw this at my buddy Jamie, his shop town Central 112 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,520 Station, I saw it down there and I went whoa, like what is that? 113 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,680 That looks like something insane. 114 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,280 And like I was telling you, this one was supposedly in the back 115 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,920 of a music store, found the back of a music store in Johnson 116 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,960 City, TN And it was, it had never been even like out of the 117 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,600 case. And you can tell it's like it's 118 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,720 really clean. But what's funny is, you know, 119 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,440 now we live in the future. You used to think that you'd 120 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,960 find a 59 Les Paul in the case. Now you're going to find a 88. 121 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,600 TO88-G10 mini guitar. Dude, I found a vintage guitar. 122 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:33,520 Really. What'd you get? 123 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,800 This so much trial and tribulation trying to figure out 124 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,360 how to get it to work but. This is a broom. 125 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,240 I think I think the first patch will help us. 126 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,520 Me in your heart lookout there's a man do it. 127 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,920 No, no, no actions like that far. 128 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,120 Off. Dude this is pretty cool, though 129 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,560 you could do some ugly. You know what's funny? 130 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,000 As I'm hearing this which is just like. 131 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,880 It doesn't have any pitch. There's no pitch when you hear. 132 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,960 It's like one pitch. Dude, at least this thing really 133 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,880 sits inside your lap. I got a strap but you're going 134 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,280 to have to work on it I found. No, I'm good like this man. 135 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,880 Let's roll. This patch. 136 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,400 OK, so are we only using patches from? 137 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,799 This has a patch that's loaded and I have this synth like 138 00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:42,120 basically as the send, if that makes sense. 139 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,040 So it's just sending what's in here out of here, right? 140 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,400 Turn this one off. My heart just kicked a beat. 141 00:08:50,400 --> 00:09:30,960 I was like, what? like we could like put on an 80s 142 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,800 movie. Put it on mute. 143 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,520 We could easily. And literally just go. 144 00:09:34,520 --> 00:10:10,010 Score any Wow. 145 00:10:10,010 --> 00:10:12,210 And if you just hold it, it'll ring forever. 146 00:10:13,090 --> 00:10:15,770 Hold up. We found the infinite sustain. 147 00:10:15,770 --> 00:10:19,080 It is not. It is not a 59. 148 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,960 Let's fall.

He sent me this, I put it 187 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,960 together. There's an entire video on my 188 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,760 channel assembling this guitar with pretty much great ease. 189 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,880 This really slotted right into a DID. 190 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,200 You have to mess with like a lot of stuff right now. 191 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,000 No, I just adjusted the intonation slightly. 192 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,400 Wow. To pull it up a little bit. 193 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,840 OK, it's not going to play perfectly because I just set it 194 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,520 up last night, but it should get the job done, which I don't know 195 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,360 what the job is. With these days, I'm telling 196 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,840 you. Is it always in tune? 197 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,080 Is that the deal? I think so, but also like when I 198 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,400 look at this neck, if if none of you have played one of these 199 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,640 guitars like me, the first thing you go, is there something wrong 200 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,440 with my vision? Somebody's listening. 201 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,040 What could you describe these frets as? 202 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,600 Like you. Just honestly, my eyes are going 203 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,200 like like, it's like they're crossing. 204 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,880 It's so weird. It's like I'm looking at Van 205 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,280 Gogh fret board. It's like the melting clocks. 206 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,920 It's a Jackson Pollock fret board. 207 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,720 Is that who it was? Jackson Pollock was a melting 208 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,440 clock. One of those Who's the guy who 209 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,280 lost his ear? Van Gogh, Yeah, but no, Jackson 210 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,560 Pollock was like the it's like that. 211 00:12:57,560 --> 00:12:59,720 Like you're you're Satriani. I got you, remember? 212 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,240 Anyways, enough about the art what we're doing here for this 213 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,200 guitar. And it's a testament to this 214 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,000 neck, though it is a little piece of art. 215 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,440 I've picked seafoam green. I hope you like that. 216 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,800 Yeah, it really matches my my personality. 217 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,720 Should I just try and play it? Yeah, just see what happens, I 218 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,240 think. First, OK, First, it feels weird 219 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,200 on my hands because you know, like you're used to having like 220 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,400 the frets, you're used to having that, and right away it feels 221 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,680 like some spaghetti noodle frets. 222 00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:31,080 And the idea is that since a guitar neck is naturally out of 223 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,400 TuneIn certain areas. This one's going to tune. 224 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,200 This one, no matter what chord you play, wherever you are, it 225 00:13:37,200 --> 00:14:00,200 should be perfectly in tune. like. 226 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,840 It's like a big warm blanket. It's it's sterile in a good way. 227 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,640 Yeah. So like the thing I'm noticing 228 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,160 like we're just like tuning the strings because these are fresh 229 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,320 strings. So if it's out a little bit, 230 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,600 it's it's just me and the tuning. 231 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,280 But like the feel of it is really weird because and what's 232 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,440 cool about it is your fingers. It like it slides. 233 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,760 If you see where my fingers are, like when I make these chords, 234 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,800 it's almost like it's it's basically set up for the way 235 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,840 that my kind of. Stretching your fingers like you 236 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,520 normally wouldn't. Yes, exactly. 237 00:14:30,520 --> 00:15:24,400 Let me It just doesn't feel the same 238 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,120 because it's almost as if, like, the pressure's different. 239 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:29,800 Yeah, it's weird. Dude. 240 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:30,560 There. Give it a dance. 241 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,960 Try that thing out. Let's see how it does. 242 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:43,280 Let's see what she How's that feel? 243 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,760 It feels like I would never need to be in tune this well. 244 00:15:48,360 --> 00:16:00,240 Try and play like a lick on it. I keep, I keep kind of like 245 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,760 sliding into those little grooves like I won't play this. 246 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,440 This is definitely a tool. It's a tool for sure. 247 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:23,400 But a beautiful It's really weird. 248 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,960 Intonated. You notice too like and I'm 249 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,200 looking at the front board. It's always like right on that G 250 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,080 string where it's always like. They're purposefully making that 251 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,760 a little flatter, yeah, if that makes sense. 252 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,960 What's the Chili Peppers song? That everybody. 253 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:53,160 Yeah, I think that this would be 254 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,360 awesome to have in the studio as a tool. 255 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,280 Like you're laying down rhythm parts super like, especially 256 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,120 like close groupings, notes, you get that thing really cool. 257 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,880 Let me see that thing one time. I just want to RIP a fat lead 258 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,400 on. Plug in, plug in some hot licks, 259 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:18,119 will you? perfectly in tune that like I 260 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,480 crave the little out of tune This. 261 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,319 You're never in tune, is what we're learning. 262 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,000 I'm never in tune, so play again 1234. 263 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:28,000 Feel as we like to say that word feel constantly, constantly on 264 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,800 this podcast, but that could be due to the fact that we haven't 265 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,320 felt it too much before. Maybe we get used to it after we 266 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,240 play this thing for. 20 years, I can't cast it out because I know 267 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,680 that it's obviously incredible and the craftsmanship and the 268 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,280 engineering that went into it, incredible. 269 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,440 I think I would need to spend more time with that. 270 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,880 But weird gear? Absolutely. 271 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,240 That's what you got to do with weird gear. 272 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,760 You got to not dismiss it. You got to spend time with it. 273 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,760 Be critical. Make sure you know its 274 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,800 limitations and its value. And a total disclaimer, even 275 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,120 though I might be sitting here, we might be sitting here saying 276 00:18:58,120 --> 00:18:59,560 it like this thing's tough to use. 277 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,640 You got to try it. Try all this stuff. 278 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,440 If you can get your hands on it, try it. 279 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,800 Check out True Temperament here. I'll click that off your hands. 280 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,840 Gimme, what are you? What are you about to show me 281 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,320 now? Look buddy, I just everybody has 282 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,760 to try one of these once. It's not necessarily guitar 283 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,120 related. But what is this you? 284 00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:16,240 Play it like a guitar. Here you go. 285 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,720 Is this like a weird breathalyzer? 286 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,480 Yeah, just bend over and it's all right. 287 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,920 The Automatone. A weird gear essential for any 288 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,800 studio I must say. Oh, I was ready to. 289 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,680 Crank that volume, Sir. This is ridiculous. 290 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,160 Hold on, how do you hey play an A note? 291 00:19:41,720 --> 00:20:25,000 You're holding up to the mic. Dude, that's like the studio, 292 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,960 like the missing link where you're like, what do we need on 293 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,800 this track? This one, yeah. 294 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,680 Are you bringing me a pedal to try? 295 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,040 I got a pedal for you. What do you have? 296 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,120 This is a very weird fuzz. This is probably the most 297 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:40,000 offensive fuzz that I own. I'd like to hear that. 298 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,800 So I'm going to just go ahead and turn it on, kind of like a 299 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,000 squawk and angry. Oh dude, plug it in. 300 00:20:45,880 --> 00:21:05,920 Come on, plug it in. like a broken. 301 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,720 Like something's broken. OK. 302 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,440 And so the thing about this, it sounds like the law machine that 303 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,040 we did in the first Weird Gear episode. 304 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,160 Right. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I. 305 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,880 Think you were even playing something similar so. 306 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,720 Was that really. Oh, dude, I remember that. 307 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:28,000 Yeah, that's like my. So this also has a filter on it, 308 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,080 which is what makes it truly weird. 309 00:21:30,520 --> 00:23:11,080 Go ahead, That's weird. 310 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,880 So it's like a filtered or a filter? 311 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,480 Possible fuzz? Yes, a filter envelope. 312 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,520 Octover thing. It's got an envelope, which is 313 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,560 why I like it. There it is. 314 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,640 Oh, that's cool, man. That's the kangaroo. 315 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,080 I think it's really cool, yeah. I mean, that's like something I 316 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,640 I don't think I could ever use in a in a live scenario, but. 317 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,320 It's sort of the refrain for every single piece of weird gear 318 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,600 in both these episodes. I've never. 319 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,840 I'd probably never use. That here's the thing. 320 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,200 Here's the thing. In a tracking situation in a. 321 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,600 World. Dude, that's pretty funky. 322 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,320 Dude. There's a box of fun there. 323 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,600 Shout out to Jamie, my friend Jamie over at Tone Central 324 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,960 Station here in Nashville. I called him. 325 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,440 I said, Jamie, we're filming some weird gear, what do you 326 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,920 got? And he brought a box phone, 327 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,680 dude. OK, That's the first thing I 328 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,360 wanted to check out. It's a company he said called. 329 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,800 Open it up. Hello, Dial Tones. 330 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,640 That's the name of this company. Dial tone. 331 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,280 And from what I think I know is whoever this is, is taking old 332 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,240 phones and making pedals out of them, but we need to plug it in 333 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,640 just to see what it does all. Right, let's see what. 334 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:35,560 It does. So wait, Hello, hello. 335 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,160 We have to see if. I'd like to order a pizza. 336 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,960 So the inn, I guess it does. It has its own power. 337 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,480 I wonder if you can talk and do it. 338 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,960 I think that's what's going on here, right? 339 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,160 I don't know, but yeah, it's got the battery. 340 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,440 There's nowhere you can plug your guitar into it, I guess, 341 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,280 but this is. Wait a minute. 342 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,120 This just goes straight into the amp. 343 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,000 Oh really? Turn it up. 344 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,680 Say something.

Should. 347 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,040 I try the battery and if. It isn't for some reason. 348 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,680 We're going to just take out the phone. 349 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:17,760 Yeah, the actual handle. OK, 00. 350 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,680 Hello, I don't even think the phone or anything dude is this 351 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,000 supposed to stutter the signal? Oh, hold on. 352 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,160 So we need to. We need to put that into an amp 353 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,280 with some some gain dude. I'm trying to talk into the 354 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,520 phone to come out like, hey, So what are you doing next Tuesday? 355 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,680 I'm going through a flanger right now. 356 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,120 Yeah, hold on. Right. 357 00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:38,800 So yeah, we need to put this in the signal chain. 358 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,720 Put it in a chain, baby. Oh, potential. 359 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,960 Damn, see we got to get rid of these new phones and go back to 360 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:47,640 these old. Schools. 361 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,640 I mean, there's got to be a way to plug the guitar in. 362 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:55,880 Yeah. All right. 363 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:30,720 Now open it up, 'cause we can hear it? 364 00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:34,360 That's what it does. It it stutters your signal, 365 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,440 yeah. So what is the point of this? 366 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:43,600 I don't know. Is it for just controlling a 367 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,720 constant tone? I don't know dial tones like 368 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,960 without looking online and trying to find see this is we're 369 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,560 breaking our own rule. We're not doing the work and 370 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:59,240 figuring out how this works. What you get is not very, I 371 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,760 would say like it's not. In inventive. 372 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,760 You know, because you could have put another in. 373 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,680 For the phone, yeah, very, very, very poor quality. 374 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,040 OK. So yeah. 375 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,240 So yeah, a. Lot of people have problems with 376 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,240 dial tones, guitar products, but here's the thing, I can't get 377 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,800 enough of them. I got to find out what are the 378 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,240 releases. I will find out how. 379 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,080 Dial tones were coming for you, man. 380 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,240 We're going to figure out how to make this thing work. 381 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,120 Thanks for letting us use this in the thumbnail. 382 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,320 All right, so that's that. That's that, that's. 383 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,760 This is truly weird gear I. Haven't been stumped by gear in 384 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,520 a while like this. Grab that other pedal. 385 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,440 Yeah, grab that thing. What's this bad boy? 386 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,440 I don't know. So my friend Jamie, he said 387 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,920 that, he said I got this pedal and he goes, I can't get a 388 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,680 usable sound out of it. Oh, so is that weird gear or 389 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,680 not? Well, as long as the pedals 390 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,880 usable. I think that that's our main 391 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,160 parameter right now. So it's called the X7 high gain. 392 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,360 OK. It looks scary. 393 00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:03,880 It looks like it's going to be an insanely. 394 00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:07,920 The game's all the way up, OK? Dude, just you know what, I'm 395 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:08,920 sick of this. Just send it bro. 396 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:09,920 I'll send it. You ready? 397 00:28:10,040 --> 00:29:05,600 Go ahead.

I don't know if it fits on the 403 00:31:07,070 --> 00:31:09,710 weird gear episode. I don't think it does. 404 00:31:09,710 --> 00:31:12,710 Gathered a box of weird pedals and this one snuck in there I 405 00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:13,550 think.

But the vocabulary I do have 463 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,920 when I play kind of more rich harmonic chords or just 464 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,000 different types of chord progressions, dude, it's just 465 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,199 like a magical sound.
