The guitar shed pedalboard3/19/2023 But the most exciting thing about the neck for me is the shorter (Gibson rather than Fender) scale, which is more comfortable and allows me to switch from Gibson guitars without having to adjust. It (obviously!) has beautiful woods, and the neck has a 12 inch radius, big stainless steel frets, and a subtle finish which feels smooth and broken-in. It’s essentially a Tele shape, but it has a “tummy cut” which makes it more comfortable than a standard Tele. I told him everything I would love to have in a guitar, and he managed to get everything exactly how I like it, and somehow included an “X” factor, too, which makes this guitar hard to put down. It was made for me by Gerard Melancon in his shop in Thibodaux, LA.

I HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER INSTRUMENTSwhich don't get as much use, but which I enjoy playing and recording with from time to time. The Bludotone J-Rod 50 is basically the front end of a 50 watt Marshall Plexi circuit with a specially designed effects loop and master volume added. I sometimes use it with a THD power attenuator for lower level listening. The Bludo-Drive is a 100 watt channel switching amp with a separate tube driven effects loop buffer. This allows great overdrive amp sounds at much quieter listening levels, if needed. The Guytron is a 100 watt channel switching amp with an interesting twist: it has an intermediate power amp stage with two EL-84 tubes used for overdrive tone (located in the circuit before the quartet of EL-34 power amp tubes). Amps I play regularly include two Guytron GT-100 FVs, each with a closed back Guytron speaker cabinet containing two unmatched Celestion 12 inch speakers a Bludotone J-Rod 50 (custom designed for me) and a Bludotone Bludo-Drive amplifier with an open back cabinet containing two 12 inch Jensen speakers. I also play Fender Thinline Telecaster Gibson CS 336, Gibson SG, with Evertune bridge There is also an AMP A/B CHANNEL FOOTSWITCH on the board as well as a SATURNWORKS MICRO FAVORITES SWITCH to select a single saved setting on the Strymon Deco.Įlectric guitars I play frequently include a Melancon Classic Artist "T", an EastmanT-184X Thinline, a Wysocki Tele, a Gibson CS-336, a Fender Telecaster, a Gibson SG, a Gibson Les Paul Custom, and a Gibson Les Paul with p-90 pickups. BLUE LOOP (FX LOOP OF AMP): TECH 21 ROTOCHOIR > MXR TALK BOX > STRYMON DECO > BOSS DD3 DIGITAL DELAY > BOSS RV-5 REVERB > BACK INTO JUNCTION BOX (labeled blue in). Note that the BOSS TU-3S TUNER is not in the signal chain - it’s connected from a second volume pedal output, so it’s always getting a signal. RED LOOP (PRE AMP INPUT): DUNLOP WAH > RC BOOST > LEHLE VOLUME PEDAL > CREATION AUDIO LABS CLEAN BOOST MK423 > BBE TREMOR OPTICAL TREMOLO > BACK INTO JUNCTION BOX (labeled red in). The effects before the amp input are labeled 1 - 5 and the effects in the loop are labeled M1 - M5. On Jon's pedalboard some effects are in line before the amp input (red heat shrink) others are in the effects loop of the amp (blue heat shrink).
