Steve Lukather's NEW Pedalboard-RACKSYSTEMS

[RACKSYSTEMS]

I do both kind of boards. We used his old board and case. Also some people prefer the flat boards for wah pedals and such. As far as pricing it's best to email me a list of your stuff for a price.

Steves one of my favorites. He's had lots of different amps. I saw him in Temecula once. I heckled him. Then I asked him if they were going to do "longest night of the year" then it is was all good. Invited me up on the stage, he was using the knucklehead Rivera thing then.

 

[Greg Riley]

Awesome board! Isn't that the new Joe Bonamassa wah? If so, did you try it out Mark?

 

[stewboy]

One day I will have a Friedman pedalboard....oh yes it will be mine!

Yes you will

Mark

did you play the rig mark?
and more importantly, did you get some vid of luke wailing on it?

I did play the rig. It's sounds great. The Hardwires are amazing. Very fat sounding. He uses the Flashback for a snapback delay only. The Hardwires are reminiscent of old Lexicons or SDE3000's. They never get in the way of the notes, they even sound great in front of the amp. These are KILLER and the fact that they are about $150 new is just crazy.

I didn't want to push my boundaries by asking if I could video some stuff

Delay even sounds good infront of the dirty channel?

 

[RACKSYSTEMS]

Delays are all in the loop.

Awesome work Dave, super clean wiring and nice layout!

So those Hardwire delays have that old school SDE-3000/PCM-41 style tone? Can you adjust the Modulation on them?

 

[reverymike]

Mark/Dave, do you make the snake of cables that go from the board to the amps? (cable to the amp input, and effects loop)? I've always stayed away from running anything on my pedalboard in the loop of my amp (I always tend to use rack units for loop effects). I just never wanted the mess of cables (I guess it's not that bad in reality though). Maybe these Hardwire Delays are the way to go for that layered delays sound.

 

[RACKSYSTEMS]

Yeah it's not bad with it snaked together right. Mike you would like the Hardwires for sure.

 

[mentoneman]

i checked out the hardwire delay the day i picked up the flashback.
it's good but i am really into the tape delay sounds the flashback does.

i was really impressed by the hardwire tremolo/rotary pedal at namm though

Very nice board Dave. Luke is at the top of my top 5. Glad to hear that Toto is back together. One of these days I'm going to get your to do my board.

 

[Badronald]

Very nice! It's about time some of these big name players got on board with the slick boards like a lot of the Rig Talk guys!

Robben Ford? Lukather? Who's next?!

 

[bigangryguitar]

Nice, clean layout. twins of one of the baddest amps ever devised and for one of the best guitarist ever imho! Nice!

Dave will the rjm buffer be you buffer of choice moving forward? I'm looking for one and noticed this is new

 

[RACKSYSTEMS]

Well yes it is my buffer they are using.

 

[Rockjunky]

Dave who makes the enclosures you used for the channel switcher and delay mutes? Is there a part number or link?

Killer board!

[RACKSYSTEMS]

Those are old bogner shiva footswitch enclosures that we had around the shop.

Beautiful board, beautiful work as all yours appear to be..
I'm not so much a fan of Luke's playing since he focussed on trying to outshred the youngsters.
His playing in Toto was simply beautiful.
I still can't work out how he got his tone in this song and his Wah control and vibrato leave me speechless every time.
