Taylor Barefoot spent sometime in his studio demonstrating pedals from our Dunlop, Way Huge and MXR families. He set up 5 different “mini rigs”:

Rock @ 02:16
Classic @ 07:12
Country @ 11:50
Heavy @ 18:17

We start with an “Alternative” rig with a Two Rock Custom Reverb Signature II with a Gene Baker B3 Phoenix Tele. Taylor misspeaks at the beginning and says he’s using a DC-30 here, but he isn’t.

Then we move to a “Classic” rig with an original 1969 Marshall JMP and a ’59 RI Custom Shop Gibson Les Paul from 1996.

For a “Country” rig we use a ’94 Matchless DC-30 with a Linhof Special Telecaster.

And for the “Metal/Heavy” rig we used a ’78 Gibson RD and a Mesa Dual Rectifier Tremoverb.

For the “Bass” rig, we’re going direct with a Lakeland Jazz bass into an API3124 and a Distressor.

We also demonstrated the differences between the Phase 90, Phase 90 Script and Phase 45 Script, as well as the differences between the Dynacomp and Dynacomp Script Reissue.

A Marshall 50th Anniversary 4×12 was used for all guitar setups, with a Royer R-121 and a SM-57 on the cab. No room mic.

We used a Shadow Hills Gama 8 Preamp and a Lynx Aurora 16 to bring us into Protools HD.

All pedals were powered with a Dunlop DC Brick. Cables interconnecting the pedals are from Mulder Audio.

Camera shots were done with a Nikon D7000 with some alternate shots on Loose Ends done with an iPad 2′s rear camera.

Some knob positions on closeups pedals may not be 100% accurate since those were shot at the end of takes and some knobs may have been bumped.

“Loose Ends” is courtesy of Casey Desmond. Check her out. She’s awesome and Taylor plays guitar with her.
