Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

Adorable!

Holy hell Stone has long fingers. I guess that’s why he’s the riff master.

This was probably already posted but Boom was in the room with the guys yesterday morning. You can see him at the 0:38 mark:

He’s probably been squatting there for years, and this is the first time in two decades anyone’s shown up to the space before noon. Boom busted.

I just wanted to say I enjoyed this post.

[DeeDee]

Boom actually plays in YL.

Whoa. E.T. phone home!

Niche subset of this Howard Stern post, specifically the Yellow Ledbetter video:

Close-ups of Mike's pedal board. I can identify the MXR flanger, script logo Phase 90, and UniVibe, and Carbon Copy delay (a surprising amount of MXR -- for a guy who could get any hand-built boutique thing in the world, he has a pedal board you could put together at Guitar Center for like $800 plus that big switcher). I also see a Line 6 delay (hard to miss) and a Boss Vibrato. Can't make out what the golden pedal is or the one to the left of that (black with white writing). And obviously a wah though I don't recognize the logo.

I know there used to be a place to talk gear but it seems to have disappeared. Anyone else geek out to this stuff and have insight on the right half of Mike's board?

I was actually quite pleased to the see the carbon copy delay. i thought he had just been utilizing the digital line 6 for so long now. The carbon copy is one of the best/most affordable delay pedals and i absolutely love mine. It seems to be at the top of most players lists for best all around.

I cant pick out what overdrive he is using though.

To my eyes, the beginning of the chain looks like a Mission expression pedal, a barely visible gold pedal (overdrive?) followed by an EHX Stereo Electric Mistress - and then the MXR Flanger, Phase 90, etc.

Mission make (or used to make) a wah but it's purple, so I'm leaning towards it being an expression controller instead, which means Mike could be relying on a digital wah from the switcher/multi-effect.

Mystery gold pedal could be the MXR Custom Badass Modified Overdrive.

Back to the drawing board, it can't be the MXR.

The switch is placed too close to the bottom of the enclosure and, unlike the MXR, there's no text in that spot.

[EJ]

[Jaeti]

Adorable!

It was!

The performances of Daughter and YL were lovely and intimate... but after listening to SOF again, how do we convince them to give us 4-5 new songs live from the warehouse?

yeah, would love that. so nice to be able to hear the drums on SOF. really elevated versus the studio version.

When stone goes over there and hits that, what looks like a mission expression pedal, it certainly sounded like a wah to me......so im confused!

I think that switcher also has effects, so I'm presuming he has it set-up to act like a wah.

I’m sure this was answered 100 pages ago, but anyone know who “PO” is? Album dedication.

His board now stresses me out. Time for a rig rundown!

This was my guess a few pages back (and forgive my phone-posting spelling of "Hawaiian"):

Is “Po” a Hawaiin reference, e.g. Po and 4 Fathers?

You know I'm not suggesting Ed dedicated the album to Boom's side project, right?
