“All the pedals… they’re right out of the box”: John 5’s super-simple pedalboard, according to his guitar tech
“Fans ask all the time, and I’m like, ‘No, those are just stock pedals,’” says David Vela.
The pedalboard of Mötley Crüe guitarist John 5 is as simple as it gets, according to his guitar tech David Vela.
Speaking about John 5’s live rig in a new interview with American Music Supply, Vela explains “Essentially, he has four pedals on that thing. You’re looking at six, actually. One of the pedals is doubled up, the Super Overdrive [Boss SD-1]. He doubles up on the Super Overdrive because when he wants really high-gain pinch squeals and
“He’s got that, a delay, a reverb, and a chorus. And the noise suppression, but you don’t really hear anything from the noise suppression.”
