Buddy Miller: pedalboard?

There's a photo from 2005 of his board on the interwebs but wondered if anyone had a rundown of this year. Saw him with Emmylou last week and his sound was fat!

Fulltone Fulldrive II, Prescription Electronics Dual Tone, BOSS VB-2 Vibrato, Fulltone Supa-Trem, Carl Martin compressor, BOSS TU-2 tuner, and Line 6 DL-4 delay.

From 05:

This is all I could find... :confused:


2009
Buddy uses the Diamond Memory Lane 2, Compressor, Halo Chorus and Vibrato for touring and recording.

Buddy Miller got a KoT in 2009 and said he was taking it on the road along with his Bicomp after he recovered from his heart surgery.

We saw him in Nashville at the Americana Conference. Didn't get a good look at the board, but he had what looked like an old tape delay sitting on a chair next to him. Didn't notice the effect when he played, though. Might have been something else, but it was big and "analog" looking.

Buddy's a gear freak. To my knowledge, the staples have been the BOSS Vibrato and the Prescription Electronics Dual Tone. When I opened a show for he and Julie a few years back, he was using a Line 6 DL-4, the BOSS vibrato, the Dual Tone, a Fulldrive II, BOSS tuner, Fulltone Supa-Trem, and a Carl Martin compressor. I know that he used the Toneczar Echoczar for a while, but has since settled in with the Diamond delay. That's all I know.

His main guitar is Telecaster ? Let me try those settings out of the Diamond Compressor. It should mimick the sound of a fat hot humbucker ...

Buddy's tone is amazing. However, his main guitar is an Italian-made Wandre that sat unsold for more than 10 years in a Boulder pawn shop until he rescued it.

His playing absolutely blows my mind every time I listen to him

...and he's one of the nicest people to meet. Christina had known him in LA way back when, they had lots of mutual friends.

Fast forward to 2008, and we heard him in an Americana Music Conference listening room with some other writers, said hi, and moved on. A while later I was sitting on the edge of the stage, Buddy came over to pick up his pedals and just started talking about playing small rooms; how the more things change, the more they stay the same...just being conversational and genuine.

He's truly a great player, very understated, but he always plays the perfect lick for the song.

Dude needs some velcro lol

Yeah, Buddy's a super nice cat, and his wife is a sweetheart as well.

What's the chrome ped in the upper left corner of the board pic? Looks like one of Ed Rembold's Toneczar designs.

Also, Buddy's a trem freak, but I don't see a dedicated trem ped in that pic (there's the VB-2, but he's also usually incorporated a trem). The chrome pedal isn't configured anything at all like my Toneczar Power Glide trem. I wonder if he was using the VB-2 exclusively for extreme wiggle during use of this incarnation of his board.

Buddy Miller is the only guy that I've heard get consistently great sounds out of a Presciption Electronics Dual Tone ped. At the gig I played with him, we were both playing VOX AC30's. I'm generally a fan of P.E. boxes, and after the gig, I decided to try that ped. After several attempts at jobs, I couldn't get useful tones from it with an AC30 to save my life, but Buddy seems to dig it. Maybe it's in the hands.

I need one of those Diamond Memory Lane 2 peds. I don't want one, I need one.

Buddy's tone is amazing.

Right. And he's often one of the first guys I reference when folks wax on about how you can't get great roots music tone unless you plug straight into an amp exclusively, and all that ill-informed nonsense.

You're most welcome. I had heard the short version in some print interviews, but had never heard Buddy talking about it himself.
