00:00Hello, I'm Jussi from Wheel, I'm the lead guitar player, and we're here in Chicago on

00:16our Charismatic Leaders tour.

00:20And yeah, that's our new album, go and check it out, Charismatic Leaders, really nice new

00:26music.

00:28And you guys are here to check out my gear.

00:32There's my pedalboard, here's my amp and the cabinet, and my guitars.

00:39Here's my precious tools.

00:43These are both made from Jarno Salo, Finnish luthier, lives really near me.

00:55Or he has a workshop in Järvenpää, near Helsinki, and he's a really talented guy.

01:02This is kind of a mixture of Telecaster and Gibson Firebird.

01:08And basically this is PAF humbuckers, these are also made from Jarno, so they are kind

01:14of custom made, but it's kind of low output stuff.

01:19Mainly I'm using the bridge pickup, but I also have a lot of stuff going on here in

01:27a neck pickup.

01:29And some of the things I also do, like this splits the coil so I get a kind of single

01:37coil sound there too.

01:38And I have the same thing in both guitars.

01:41These are basically identical, but I'm going to show the differences from the other one.

01:46I usually use my tone knobs, actually this has only one tone knob, this is kind of master

01:52tone.

01:53I usually have it full, but sometimes when I need a little bit of a darker tone, I dial

02:00it a little bit down.

02:02And this one is just a kill switch.

02:06It looks like a pot, but it's kind of a dead pot, but it has the kill switch thing going

02:10on.

02:11Basic switch for the pickups.

02:15The strings I'm using is D'Addario 11-50, but the thickest string is like 56.

02:30And yeah, that's D'Addario.

02:31And the tuning is low C, and the rest of it is like drop D. So this is low C, G, C, F,

02:41A and D strings.

02:45And that's pretty much how this is.

02:46I'm going to show you the other one.

02:48It's basically the same, but with a little bit differences.

02:53Here you go.

02:55It also has the kill switch here, tone, volumes.

02:59But it has the Bixby tailpiece, and it's semi-hollow, but otherwise it's pretty much the same.

03:06And this is my main guitar on this tour, this is what I've been mainly playing.

03:13And that's about the guitars.

03:17Then we move into the amp section.

03:23This is a Victory Travel Amp Kraken.

03:27I think it's 40-50 watts, I'm not pretty sure about the output, but let's say it's loud

03:33enough for basically anything.

03:37I use the both channels.

03:39First channel is dialed like a...

03:41It's almost clean.

03:42It has a little bit hair in it, but yeah.

03:46And the channel 2 is more distorted.

03:50That's how it's dialed.

03:52I have the...

03:53There's a...

03:54Back of the amp, there's a bass focus dial or whatever it is.

03:59It's pressed down, so it's a little bit tighter in the low end.

04:04It's really easy to use and simple, so it's...

04:09All you can see here, that's the amp basically.

04:12Then we have the Victory cabs.

04:17They are 2x12-inch speakers with, I think it's Celestion Vintage 30s in it.

04:28So that's also pretty basic, like hard rock or heavy metal stuff.

04:34We both...

04:35James also uses 2x12 on this tour, because we had little issues with fitting everything

04:42in the bus, but yeah.

04:46For practical reasons, 2x12s, but I also prefer 2x12s myself when playing in Europe and any

04:54case.

04:55I'm not 100% sure how the chain goes, but this is at least the first one on the chain

05:03It's the tuner.

05:07And it tunes the guitar.

05:11Then here, I think this is the first on the chain.

05:14It's the wah pedal and it's also an expression pedal.

05:20And you could use it also as a volume pedal, but I'm not using that volume pedal thing

05:25here.

05:26Only expression for this, because this has a kind of filter that I can adjust it with

05:32the expression and when I press it on, it becomes a wah pedal.

05:38Then we have whammy.

05:39I think it's before the distortion pedals.

05:43I use the octave down, octave up and also the dry signal goes through, so I can switch

05:52it between the octave down and octave up easily.

05:56And then I use the basic octave thing.

06:01That's only those two settings I use on that one.

06:07I think here it goes somewhere, I think the compressor is first.

06:13It's the Xotic SP compressor.

06:18I use it basically only on the clean sounds, just to even it a bit and give it a little

06:26bit more brightness and that chi-ching.

06:31Tonus basically does the same.

06:35The gain is basically off there and I give it a little push for the treble.

06:43Then here's, I think this is the jam pedals.

06:46It's basically there like a tube screamer, tube dreamer it's called.

06:54I just boost the distortion channel with it to get a little bit more midrange and more

07:01punch for some of the lead stuff.

07:06This pedal is really interesting, it's kind of a fuzz pedal and filter pedal.

07:11On this tour I'm not using the filter thing, but I do it in pervious, in the midsection

07:19when I put the filter down and I'm kind of playing alone and opening it slowly.

07:30But in Empire I use this on Versys, the Kangra pedal.

07:37It's really aggressive and punchy fuzz sound.

07:42Then I have the Octave fuzz which I use in a few of the solos and lead parts.

07:49It's kind of basic, basic Jimi Hendrix style octave fuzz and it gives that nice little

08:00dirty octave above the signal.

08:07This factory is here, I'm not using it on this tour, but it's a really wild pedal.

08:15Maybe I'm not going to tell about it more because I haven't used it a lot, but it's

08:19here on the board for the big coming tours and big coming recordings.

08:26Here's the M1, this is Walrus audio.

08:33It has a lot of different delay, like time-based, like chorus, flanger, phaser, that stuff,

08:45like modulation effects.

08:48I'm using vibrato and phaser mainly.

08:51This Kili trimrod is for the choruses and this stuff here is in the effects loop, so

08:58I have also the chorus pedal in the effects loop.

09:02Then I have a solo boost here in the effects loop, delay, which is Walrus audio ARP 87.

09:15Nice tap tempo stuff and I'm basically using the analog setting on it.

09:22And then I have this Hydra pedal, which is reverb and tremolo, and this expression pedal

09:29I use for adjusting the length of the reverbs or the kind of rate of the tremolo.

09:41We're all using in-ear monitors and this is my mic setup.

09:47Of course I have a 57, which is pretty much the standard, and then I have the AKG D4,

09:56I think it's for, because if we want to widen it, or I don't know what the mixing guy is

10:05really doing with it, but he's mixing those two mics together.

10:09Picks that I use are Dunlop Flow picks, 1.5mm I think, and only them, I like them, they

10:24are nice and firm.

10:28Hey so thanks for watching, this was Marik, and go to Spotify or whatever streaming platform

10:34to check out our new album, Charismatic Leaders, and see you on the gigs, and good luck!
