Home 2012 March Brent Hinds – Mastodon – Pedal Board

Brent Hinds – Mastodon – Pedal Board

The other day I saw a nice article by Total Guitar where they had a chance to talk gear with Mastodon. I know a few of you are big fans of the band, and in particular with Brent Hinds, so thought I would post his pedal board today. If you’re interested in the article by Total Guitar, please go here – “Mastodon Rig Tour: Brent and Bill’s gear“.

Brent has a pretty classic board with a few interesting pieces. The first item was the hair dryer. Thought that was interesting. Curious if that effects his signal chain at all. I would assume that it would generate a magnetic field. Also, there is a Orange footswitch in the signal line as well. I’m not 100% sure what this a all about either (possible true bypass loop?).  Looks like he’s had to deal with some noise as well – noticed the Boss NS-2 and Ebtech Hum Eliminator.

    Thanks for posting Brent’s board. There’s two things I noticed, that you didn’t have listed on the breakdown of the board.

    1. There’s a humbucker that is wired to something(?) directly below the DL-4. Maybe this humbucker has something to do with the hair dryer???

    2. There’s a MIDI merger pedal below the Boss EQ and next to the volume pedal. It might be used, so that his tech can switch a pedal if Brent isn’t close to his board?

    Thanks again for the post.

    The Orange footswitch is simply for changing channels on his Orange amp. He states in the Total Guitar article that the hairdryer as a heater…in case he gets cold while playing Lol!

    I’m not sure about the Orange Footswitch. You can see it’s inline between the morpheus and tubescreamer. If it’s an channel switcher, it wouldn’t be in the signal chain. I personally think it’s mod’d to be a true bypass loop switch. If you look at the Orange FS-1, there is only a single jack on the unit. The photo of Brent’s … appears to have 4 jacks. 2 side jacks and 2 jacks on the top.

    The Orange footswitch is called a V-Drive pedal, it was made by Brents guitar tech V-Man.
