Coffee and Riffs, Part Sixty Four (Joel Korte, Knobs)

Time is a funny thing indeed. Share time with your loved ones yall.

Love this series, and the pedals. Envious of your scene. It’s great to come back to these things, or to discover the good stuff from only 5 years ago. Pointers to stuff to get into now. Hats off to ya.

Knobs is secretly nick reinheart

The day must come when pedals get off the floor. It’s entirely absurd that they’re in such a spot. Makes no sense. They’re only there because of a total lack of imagination by the manufacturers as to a proper interface with the player. Yeah, you might want to switch a pedal on by stomping on it but that leaves adjusting pedals on the fly uncomfortable and ridiculous. Remember the EMS Synthi HiFli? That’s how it should go. Pedals above and reachable on a stand with cables connecting remote floor switches would be the thing. Nothing is more insane then sitting on a hard floor cross legged and leaning over with a guitar in your lap trying to read tiny letters above tiny knobs and moving them about. And if it’s in dim lighting, even more insane. So many pedals are offering numerous control options that interfacing comfortably with the control surface is essential. Add illumination and you’re there. We need new interface designs in this industry to match the progress in amazing sonic potential that many pedals offer.

the guy of knobs is a fucking clown,come on,who the fuck are you dumbass?? a fbi agent?? jeez

Can anyone recommend music like the first 4 minutes of the video? Really fuzzed out drone, but not dark and dystopian like say early Earth or Sunn O))). Kind of euphoric. Any ideas?

Ray Parker Jr ?

Random and likely incorrect theory; Knobs is Mason Stoops, or vice versa

I always thought Knobs was black and fat.

I would want to do this every night.

knobs is actually gearmmandude

would love to see AMULETS on here doing some cool stuff with his tape loops

This is chock full of hipster. Flannel, dirty t-shirts, knit caps, beat up boots, facial hair, boutique coffee, cardigan sweaters, shaggy hair. This is straight out of Portlandia.

I can almost feel the baggy sweater sleeve muting the strings on accident. That kills me all the time, but they seem impervious to it. One more thing to be jealous of. Great stuff.

Very cool!

Another fantastic video, thanks dudes. May I ask which pedal is creating the granular-y stutter effect?

Great

Man I wish I had 10 friends who would want to go in a room and do nothing but fuck around with pedals.

I figured it out. KNOBS is Mason Stoops

Knobs is the wizard behind the curtain

this is so comfy

Heavy session, this.

Why did no one tell me this was going down

I work there and I'm confused

kalita wave 🌊 👌

Chase bliss, knobs, obne = the best sh1t ever :)

coffee, riff and artificial paradise.

My world has been made brighter reading that knobs is a friend of yours.

I just stumbled upon your channel. Good stuff!

I just love hearing Joel talk about pedals!

Really nice ! ... please tell me the company of the pedalboard !!!!! ... I want the same, it seems crazy ! Tks

I'm disappointed. In my mind's eye, Knobs always has a man-bun. :(

Fucking incredible series. One of my goals is to jam with you guys

so just noise ,ok

Any east coast ventures in the future?

Tupac is alive! And making story themed guitar demos

Donald Trump is Knobs.

Solid set, really felt the emotion in the music.

Needless to say, Joel Korte is a genius!

Beautiful.

Did you people know that the only pedal manufacturer that can play guitar AND build pedals is Kirk Hammett...

This is so legit! I love all of these people and the sounds!!!!

Is knobs Jack Black?

whats up with blur face? .. is he a Japanese pornstar? :-D

What camera did you guys use sorry if you answered this already
