hello i have a question that i am asking you bc you are The Guitar Guy to me. i want to start learning guitar but i have no idea where to begin in terms of even choosing a guitar to start with. i want to do a lot of rock/metal songs so i was thinking of getting electric but alot of articles are saying that i would need additional equipment?? so would i be better off getting an acoustic, learning from there, and then eventually switching over to electric? sorry if this is a lot, its just a very intimidating field to get into :( thank you in advance!!!

Get an electric! Trust me when I say it's waaay easier to learn. You will need extra stuff, but really only a cable and an amp. If being loud worries you most amps have a headphone jack! I highly recommend picking stuff up secondhand from good brands, and not trusting anything labelled as a "starter pack". Ibanez gio and Yamaha Pacifica are great starter guitars you can pick up for fairly inexpensive secondhand, and any Marshall, orange, fender, blackstar, or yamaha amp will be fine for a beginner. Then all you need is a standard jack cable and you're set! If you want advice about specific brands and things shoot me a DM! Facebook marketplace and eBay will be your best friends here

Jonny Greenwood’s Pedalboards for The Smile’s Nov-Dec 2022 Tour

A photo from Tom Skinner’s Instagram, showing Jonny during soundcheck for the first show of The Smile’s USA tour, at the 14th Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Providence, Rhode Island.

Another photo of Jonny during soundcheck in Providence, this one from The Smile’s official instagram.

Jonny’s Guitar Pedalboard

Like Thom’s pedalboards, Jonny’s guitar board seems to be made from black-painted plywood. On the May-July tour, Jonny was still using one of his flightcase pedalboards that was originally made for Radiohead touring. But it seems he needed a larger board for this tour. As has been the case since the early days of the band, the wooden pedalboards are most likely hand-built by the band’s guitar techs.

Jonny’s pedals are mostly identical to the ones he was using by the end of the last tour in July 2022 (you can read about his board at the start of that tour in this post). The big difference is that Jonny switched out his Boss RE-20 Space Echo pedal for the new Boss RE-202 Space Echo pedal! That means this will be the first time Jonny has toured without a RE-20 pedal since 2008 (he’s used one constantly with Radiohead, and even brought two on the  2016 Junun tour). If you’re curious about some minutia of these pedals, check out our recent post about Space Echo preamps and bypass.

Jonny started using the Tortenmann/Telenorida TK-23 Kompressor around the start of the summer tour. The tape on the pedal shows that it’s the same one time removed from his board at the same time, showing Jonny’s fondness for gear left behind by his bandmates.

If you’ve checked this page before, you know Jonny is a big fan of Boss and Electro-Harmonix pedals. But before playing with The Smile last year, Jonny had never performed with any pedals from Earthquaker Devices. I suspect Jonny was inspired to use those pedals by Stephen Malkmus, as discussed in this post.

It looks like there’s a Radial J48 Active DI Box near the expression pedals. Jonny always has a direct box to send his pre-amplifier guitar signal to the PA, so most likely this is used in the same way.

Jonny’s Bass Guitar Pedalboard

On The Smile’s May-July tour, Jonny’s only bass pedal was his Boss TU-3, so he kept it on his guitar pedalboard. For this tour, it seems he wanted more flexibility for bass. He now has a small pedalboard in front of his Ampeg SVT Classic bass amp and cabinet.

Jonny’s MIDI Pedals

Since The Smile’s first performance at Glastonbury in 2021 (full gear list here), Jonny has used a Studiologic MP-117 to play synth lines with his feet. The Studiologic is connected to a couple of synth modules. For synth bass, he uses am Oberheim SEM Pro module (Jonny actually has two SEM Pro modules on this tour, with on serving as a backup). On the May-July tour, he also had a Moog Mother-32 on a shelf in his rack case, but the Moog was removed or moved elsewhere on this tour.

Jonny has one Blackstar Live Logic foot controller resting by his laptop interface rack. That foot controller is used to record and trigger loops of Thom’s voice with a Max/MSP patch. Jonny uses the patch during A Hairdryer.

Jonny has a second Blackstar foot controller velcro’d to his Studiologic controller. This one could be used to control the Max/MSP looper, it could be used to choose which synth the Studiologic controls, or it could be used for both depending on the mode Jonny selects.

OK I JUST LISTENED TO THE SUBMISSION U SENT ME AND OHHMY HOD HAILS IT SOUNDS SO GOOD. the distortion on yr guitar is gorgeous + your tone is really good for just 4 chords!!! u are gonna be so good at guitar someday:)

OMG STOPPPP IT IM GONNA GET AN EGO. but yea i got the blackstar amp its so good for a tiny one but omg literally ily we should always talk more abt guitars

[daemonhxckergrrl]

ran my keys through an HT Club 40 for funsies and discovered a few things:

2x12"* speaker cab + Blackstar tone = enough lowend to be usable for keys

transient response of a Rhodes is just right for high gain guitar tone

keys signal hot enough to drive the clean channel way past basically to crunch

the multiple overly complex gain staging (volume pedal -> keys patch -> keys amp sim [treat as preamp/overdrive pedal] -> patch level -> master keys level -> clean channel input gain -> amp master level) offers a lot of tonal options but that kind of setup NEEDS a compressor pedal for sanity

hammond organ + rotary amp sim + a little drive + set the clean channel to have a bit point = fucking killer organ tone babeyyyyy

now I just need to figure out a sensible way of having access to this or similar live

#daemon.md #music stuff #i put my keyboard through a nice guitar amp like most of us do at some point

[danganronpa2]

i got a used blackstar mini amp for really cheap so now i can cosplay akira with my guitar at the next con >:^)

The Essential Role of Fishman Amps in Live Performances

A quick glance at Fishman Amps ratings confirms their popularity and acclaim among musicians worldwide. With consistently high ratings and positive reviews from both professionals and amateurs alike, Fishman Amps have established themselves as the go-to choice for live performances. While Blackstar Amps also enjoy a loyal following, they may not always receive the same level of praise and recognition as Fishman Amps, further cementing the latter’s status as an essential tool for live musicians.

Blackstar Amped 3 Overview (and How to Use it) - A True, Real Amp in a Pedal for Metal Guitarists

Everything you need to know about the new Blackstar Amped 3 for metal guitarists!

As a metal guitarist, there’s nothing like plugging into a tube amp and cranking it. Whether it’s a combo amp, 2×12, or 4×12 cabinet, you get this dominating sense of power when you start riffing. But it can get tiresome lugging around all that gear show after show. And it’s not always realistic to crank up a tube amp every time you want to record your guitar or just jam. This is where…

改造ランプ、あるいは改造アンプの部品選定

2022/08/03(Wed.)

　新作のランプ型アンプ（あるいはアンプ型ランプ）の制作のため100w級のトランジスタアンプを探しており、候補としてBlackstar ID:60 TVP-HとBogner Ecstasy MINI AMPの中古品を見つけました。どちらもヘッドアンプなので作りたいアンプへの組み込みが簡単そうな代わりに、キャビネット制作のためのスピーカーユニットも買い揃えなければならず、予算がオーバーしそうです。 　そこでコンボアンプに切り替えて選定したところ、70年代のヤマハのアンプが候補に出てきました。100Wでトランジスタなので滑琴の衝撃にも強く、価格も３万円台です。当時は10万円ちかくしたアンプだったようですが、確かにリターンなどもなくシンプルなアンプなので現代の環境には不要なのかな？とくかく用途にあったアンプが見つかりよかったです〜

Jonny’s May 2022 Pedalboard at  Amsterdam’s Paradiso

Jonny playing The Smoke at Amsterdam’s Paradiso (karindgr). Note the pedals resting on top of the Rhodes piano next to the Prophet 5 REV4 synthesizer: those are used with the Prophet.

Jonny experimented with some new pedals during The Smile’s rehearsals in late-2021 and early-2022, including a Strymon Timeline, a Nano POG, and a vintage Ibanez TS-808. But by the end of rehearsals, he had settled on a relatively concise setup with eight pedals for his guitar. He subsequently used that setup for The Smile’s three live-streamed shows at London’s Magazine in January.

However, it seems that Thom and Jonny are both using the Smile’s 2022 European tour to experiment with even more pedals! So far, Thom’s new Grand Orbiter pedal helped to inspire the new song Bodies Laughing. As for Jonny, probably the most notable addition is his new Earthquaker Devices Pyramids flanger, which seemingly helped to inspire the new song IT/Flangers.

Jonny’s guitar pedalboard has most of the pedals from the Magazine shows, and he’s started to use his DD-200 instead of his RE-20 on even more songs (including The Opposite)! He has stopped using his Demeter Tremulator (set as a 6db boost during Thin Thing at the Magazine shows) and his big box Electro-Harmonix Small Stone, but he’s added more than he’s taken away. His board at Amsterdam’s Paradiso includes an Earthquaker Pyramids, an Earthquaker Organizer, and one of Thom’s old Telenorida Kompressors! He also has a Boss LS-2, with cables connected to the A and B outputs, but not the main output.

The following is a list of Jonny’s pedals for The Smile’s performance in Amsterdam on May 27, 2022. However, Jonny continued to adjust his pedalboard during the tour, as we’ll see in a future post. The signal order is based on his setup for the Magazine and other past pedalboards.
