saturn Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Does look pretty fun to play with. I'm not sure I would have much use for it other than goofing off. One of my bandmate's son works for Jack. Maybe he can get me deal on one. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I think Jack White goes out of his way to play cheap guitars that sound terrible. Never dug that guy or the White Stripes. Why he was in that movie with Page is beyond me. The Edge too. Why was he there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle fester Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'm not really a Jack White fan boy - but appreciated his music and what he does with an instrument. I really liked the white stripes, and the raconteurs are a real rock band in today's world of techno rap be bop hibidy dibidy dooo. I agree though, feel he's kind of a poser, and also don't understand why he was in the video w jimmy page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Unlike most of the other replies, I like it, but... It's too complicated for me. I have enough problems trying to lock in my sound for other purposes, tones, textures, and dynamics. And I don't need a 135 page book documenting the development of this pedal.

Rabs Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Yeah, I am not fanboy either but I do think hes one of the most original guitar players that has come along in many many years. He has been in three bands at once, he has his own sucesful record label and he has saved a vast amount of old blues recordings from being destroyed and is just a really hard worker. I do agree he comes across as a bit of an Art Student type but if thats the worst anyone can say about him, thats not bad really.. He absolutely deserved to be in that documentary as far as I am concerned. Certainly more that The Edge who is a mediocre guitar player at best in one of the most over hyped bands ever. As for the pedal.. I would have no real use for it but it does look like something I would enjoy messing around with, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the Stripes in about 2001 when they played with Jeff Beck in the Yardbirds bit of his live show. Bloody good too. I get Jack White totally though don't buy his stuff. The film was a missed opportunity I thought. It didn't get loud at all really. The pedal latching/momentary feature is good.

saturn Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Funny. I had a gig last Saturday night and brought this pedal up to my buddy who's son is Jack's manager. He said yeah for like $400. Then he told me the story (apparently it was in news but I hadn't heard) of how his son was called at the last minute to see if Jack could play SNL that night The original musical guest was fired by Lorne G. He had to fly from L.A. to Nashville and meet Jack and drummer and then they took private jet to NY and had to take Covid test and fill out a bunch of questionnaires about where they've been and who they had contact with etc before they could enter the studio. Paul Simon was going to also participate but that couldn't be organized in time. Our gig ended early enough that I got home in time to watch his performance. It certainly was different, and I liked it more than the electronic, choreographed, auto tuned stuff they usually have as "music" on SNL. Not exactly on topic, but thought it was worth sharing.

Sgt. Pepper Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) I watched Jack on SNL last weekend, and the one thing I will say was in the second song he was dressed nice, but other than that he did what he does and its not for me. I think in the first song he used a Fender Tele. Not his usual choice of a $49 Korean made obscure no name brand made with $25 worth of parts. Edited October 15, 2020 by Sgt.

My folks always suggested that if I don't have anything nice to say, I shouldn't say anything, so I'll go on the limb here.. I don't quite get this guy. I've watched enough of his performances, I'm left wondering what I'm missing that everyone else seems to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my friend loaning me a White Stripes CD a while back. It is the one with Yorba Hotel and I Think I Smell A Rat on it. After about 5 songs I took it out of the CD player and I had enough of whatever they were calling the noise they were making. Edited October 15, 2020 by Sgt.

Sgt. Pepper Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Oh no not mellower than mellow Jack Johnson. He is another one who bores me to tears. John Mayer and Jack Johnson's baby would be a surfing pretty-boy who plays mellow guitar and cheats on all his girlfriends, but he did bang Taylor Swift and Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Love Huge-titts and Jessica Simpson and Cameron Diaz and slew of others that dug his man meat and charm.

Regarding the pedal in the OP: it is definitely a niche thing. The White Stripes consisted of Jack and his sister on drums. Since there was no bass player, he was able to use octave effects more heavily to fill the space. Now here's one for the peanut gallery: Name any other rock band with just 2 members who were as successful as the W. S. without using additional musicians for live concerts? I thought Meg was really his wife and that they just told everyone they were a bro and sis combo. Not sure if the Black Keys ever did live shows with just them two. The original T-Rex before the bongo player left and it was just Marc and whoever. I think the Flat Duo Jets do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say they were as successful at the White Stripes? I would not. Yep, you are right - Meg was his wife. I have no clue who is popular anymore. I buy the albums of the groups I want to hear. I rarely listen to radio. Its all just either garbage country (and I am using the term "country" loosely) stations or classic rock. I own Led - Zeppelin IV on album so if I want to hear Stairway To Heaven I can put it on anytime I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
