Buzz's Guitar Setup

[Gladmarr]

Hey, I figured I get all geeky about that stuff anyway, and when I saw there was a thread for it (kinda), I felt all too obliged to chime in....

Buzz is the first guitar player I see that places the pedal board behind him instead of in front of him, strange... not bad but just strange.

[anaconda]

kevin did the same thing too, i think its to be
a bit more loose on stage, you can improvise a
new patch and hear it better if you face the amp,
if it sucks you can stomp off it to something else
quicker

I play with my pedals in front of the amp somply because most shows I've played there was no stage and thats when people start tripping on your shit and turning things on and off.

I guess i'll be the the first to ask a drum question: i've noticed that Coady used a very generic looking snare in some earlier photos of Big Business. It's like aflat gray snare with some big gold lugs. Anybody know what make it is?

[FartLips]

probably just the snare that came with the kit.

Hey guitar geeks!!  I just bought a Boss DS1 distortion and a Boss SD1 Super Overdrive today. Anyone have experience with these, and how do they go in my pedal string. Do I put the overdrive first (guitar, overdrive, distortion, amp) or second behind the distortion? I don't remember. Also, is that an SD1 Overdrive that Buzz has in his pedal setup this tour?

I dont remember Exactly what yellow od pedal he was using, but it definitely had 4 knobs.

As for the ds1, congrats on getting one of the best and cheapest pedals around. I use my ds1 second in line, right after my chorus. I set the distortion all the way up, wit htone around 12-2 oclock, level all the way up most of the time. Ill post my "rig" pic, if you cant call a 120 watt combo a rig

I use an SD2 Dual Overdrive and a DS1. I have the overdrive before  the distorion (tuner, overdrive, flanger, distortion, acoustic simulator).  I don't really use the flanger or acoustic simulator though.

Cool. I have my MXR chorus after my distortion. Is there any rule for this? Maybe I'll switch stuff around and see what difference it makes. Got the DS1 new for $38 at the local music store. Not a bad deal.

Its all a matter of taste man. Whatever you think sounds best, is best.

Ok, walmart screwed me. Buzz let me get reallyy good pics of his rig, he let me jump on stage during soundcheck and snap a few, but for some reason I dont have the pedal board pic. but I did get what they were going through on my phone.

Buzz had his Black Les Paul custom, going into a boss chromatic tuner, a boss overdrive most likely an os-2, a boss delay, and a proco turbo rat into an orange head and a hiwatt cab.
He didnt use the delay much, I think it was mostly for dale when he played with business.


He used the overdrive for a crunchy sound, and the boss and rat together for the sound I call "really fuckin awesome" /

Are you sure it was a Turbo Rat, or was it a Rat 2??

[Dead Cowboy]

Im pretty sure it was a turbo. Did you have to wait this long to ask my memory is really fuzzy.

It was definitely a Turbo Rat when I saw them.

Toshi has a Rig too!
