[ WM ] What are you doing for amps … modeling or tubes?
[ Jemm ] All modelling with my Line 6 Helix and HX Stomp. I currently don’ t own any tube amps right now, but hopefully I will get some soon!
[ WM ] Over the years I have seen your pedalboards change quite a bit. What is your current mix of effect pedals on your touring rig?
[ Jemm ] On my touring rig, I have decided to use the Line 6 Helix floor as the main brain for this rig as the music requires a lot of quick changes and combinations of effects and sounds. For example, making my electric guitar sound like a nylon string acoustic in one setting and then into a fully fuzzed out rocking thick guitar sound! going into the Pinstripe Pedals MBFR Multi Buffer which goes into the first pedal in my chain which is my signature dual overdrive, the Vander Guitars Drive-Thru Midnight Edition, into the Mojo Hand FX Speakeasy which I use two of those drives as extra preamp boosts and they go into the input of the Line 6 Helix floor. Then in the FX loops of the Helix Floor, I have the MXR Joshua Delay going stereo in loop 1 and in loop 2 I have the Jet Pedals Revelation Reverb V3 stereo outputs going into the Pinstripe Pedals DISO +.
[ WM ] The Sidewalk Prophets have a Christmas tour coming up called“ The Great Big Family Christmas”. Tell us about that?
[ Jemm ] Every year, Sidewalk Prophets does“ The Great Big Family Christmas” Tour where we travel to different places to share the love and joy of Christmas which includes giveaways, stories and a whole production! It is super exciting, and I recommend anyone to come see it! It will be great fun for the whole family!
[ Jemm ] I know there will be an Elliott Tonemaster on the way right before the Christmas tour and hopefully some other new gear too, other than that, I’ m not too sure about some new music projects but hoping I get to be part of some projects soon!
[ WM ] Will I be seeing you at our Pre-NAMM HANG in Anaheim this new year?
[ Jemm ] ABSOLUTELY!
