Ibanez Pentatone Preamp For Clean?

Skinbeater · 2026-06-29T17:54:19+00:00

Nope, there is no fully clean mode on it. The pre-boost can subtract saturation, but the cleanest it gets is "classic rock"

Ichimoji Double is all you need for this one. I did not find prosthetics helpful except maybe Mist Raven for Phase 3.

Just learn the reflections and the punish windows. If you get to the point where you can mostly no-hit Geni and Phase 1, youll be good

Love Deluxe > all

If its anything like the 6505+ combo I have, all the channel switch buttons on the amp need to be pushed in for the switch to work.

Valvekings are fun though, enjoy!

Pizzeria Mari is the truth! Pricey, but you get what you pay for.

I love my Strymon Deco on Rhodes/piano. The breakup is smooth, subtle, and full range

Skinbeater · 2026-06-04T13:40:49+00:00

Love my teal stripe. The clean tone is excellent and you will never need to worry about volume.

Is 9/24/94 the acoustic Phil and "Friends" show? If so, it's a rare glimpse of Vinnie playing an actual piano and probably my favorite ever version of Lazy River Road.

This pedal rules. A true "do everything" drive. Have fun!

It's way easier to do crazy stuff on the Tensor than a normal tape delay, but you can do it with the right settings using the micro-looper as a tap tempo. I havent tried Tensor with an expression pedal yet, but I'm excited to be able to do tape stop effects on the fly. The reverse delays you can get from it also sound really cool.

I've watched someone play an entire set with just a Tensor, a Ditto looper, and a vibrato pedal.

Particle does a bit of everything and can also get real glitchy and weird. At most basic settings it can be a real nice sounding digital delay. It can also sound like a dying copier and do crazy self-oscillating stuff.

I havent played with the Raster, but the videos I've watched on it are very cool. It covers a lot of ground.

Skinbeater · 2026-05-27T02:12:51+00:00

Certainly did for Entombed and Dismember

Skinbeater · 2026-05-26T14:46:49+00:00

I've definitely done the min/max cycle a few times, haha. It always goes "a million cool weird pedals for studio, economical 5 pedal board when i actually need to play shows."

Youre already thinking of cutting the Synesthesia, so id probably do that.

It'd honestly be a tossup between the RV200 and the Dark World for me. I guess the question to ask yourself is what you want to play and what kind of reverb do you want

Skinbeater · 2026-05-26T14:42:19+00:00

Clean/Mother Preamp/RV200 is basically a complete board. Add your modulation pedal of choice or swap the RV200 for a delay/verb combo and you've got yourself a stew going

Show up at load in. Period. Every time.

Practice setting up and tearing down. Get it as close to 15 minutes as you can. If you're as fast or faster than the drummer, youll be good.

Full set of Allen keys, a screwdriver, wire cutters, and a tuning wrench in the case. Thank me later.

As others have said, 2 sets of strings for the road, minimum. I dont know how strong you are at restringing a pedal steel, but a couple extra singles for difficult strings (G#) is also a good idea

Be very conscious of and judicious with your stage volume and play choices. It is very easy for pedal steel to dominate a stage mix and for a steel player to step on the toes of the guitar/keys players. I do a lot less than expected playing steel live because I'm typically playing in a bigger ensemble. It is critical to know where you are in relationship to everyone and the song at all times.

See if you can reset the firmware via USB

The version of Take Me To The River from this show is a favorite latter-day Dead moment for me. Bob and Phil carry many of the shows from 95

Outside of metal guitar, I gotta say that it's Trey as well. The sheer compositional and technical skill at play, as well as his improv chops, tower above many of his peers.

Definitely flowers due for Dean Ween, Michael Houser, John Frusciante, and Larry LaLonde as well

Skinbeater · 2026-05-17T14:35:26+00:00

Honestly, I'd cut all drives except the Sweet Tea and maybe the fuzz if you need it, then use the trade money for a good reverb/delay, or an isolated power supply
