    Good to hear people are trying out Royal Blood at gigs. We also play 'Little Monster' in Drop D (as I believe many of us are!)

    Had a night off and what was going to be a rejig of the pedalboard just became a jam session of various riffs, so I put together a few into the video below. It's a good laugh and definitely worth a go if you're in a small band/one guitarist band to really beef up the mix!

    Still waiting on that pedalboard video my man...

    Hey all,

    For those still interested, I recorded another Royal Blood cover, this time having a stab at 'Little Monster' as I've started playing it in one of the bands I work with.

    More of the same pedalboard, but also using the Boss PS-6 to thicken out the outro of the song. Let us know what you think!

    I think I need a diagram of that board, even if it's crude, just to get my head around it. I thought I was getting a decent sound out of just three of those pedals used but your has taken it to another level.

    Wow these guys have a great sound and songs.

    Just to ask a possibly silly question, are there any ways to recreate this sound on a budget? I know it wouldnt be a versatile, but are there any single pedals that could come close to this sound, just to play around with it?

    Single pedals, no. I'm slowly building this rig pedal by pedal. I got the MicroPOG instead of the POG2 (MicroPOG is the cheaper, smaller variant) and ran the effect line through a cheap distortion and the dry out into a bass amp. You wouldn't have control over cutting out the bass but you could get a cheap A/B box (which there are tonnes of barebones boxes on eBay) to cut the signal. I'd go from there. It's essentially what i'm doing.

    EDIT: The closest 'single-pedal' you could get to recreate this sound would be a Boss OC-3 Super Octave pedal. It has a build in distortion setting which works with an Octave setting. That's the closest you'll get to the sound through one pedal.

    Yo NOTJORDANWALKER, do you have any rough recordings or videos you can upload / send me? Be curious to see what this sounds like. It'll be way cheaper than buying the additional pedals I mentioned up there ^^^. Especially if theres no need for the EQ.

    Thanks man.

    I don't have the best recordings yet but I'll try and get something when I go at the end of this month. Got a session with a mate of mine. The sound was [b]enormous[/b] when we tried it out though.

  5. Sort of doing a similar thing which is why I was so adamant about identifying their pedal board earlier in the topic. Just bought a Micro POG, run that into a fuzz and have been using a Boss TU-3 as a killswitch for the bass. It's such a great and easy sound. I didn't really find a need for the EQ pedal yet. The guitar head seems to deal with the sound really well. The Bass head, I just crank the low end and gain to get a borderline Distorted Bass.

    He sets it so it cuts the lower octaves and only receives the two upper octaves giving it a fake guitar sound

    Ah, I didn't know the POG could go UP octaves. I thought that was why he had the Harmonists, to get the higher octave.

    By coincidence the black keys were on jools recently too - doesn't look like a 2 piece band for live work.
    [/quote]
    Oh, no. Royal Blood are 100% two piece. No guys in the background. That's why their pedal board is such a hot topic.

  8. I'm trying to figure out the need for the POGs. Running a bass through a pedal that added an octave down is going to produce a really low, bass. Can you shift the pog up an octave or is it just down like the Boss OC-3?

    Saw them last night. He had 2 Gretsch basses and a Fender Starcaster. Forget the basses though... that pedal setup and the sound he gets!! F**k me!

    Can anyone work out the pedals on this rig?

    I can see so far:[list]
    [*]2x Electro Harmonic POGs
    [*]2x Boss PS6s
    [*]Boss GE7
    [*]Boss TU3
    [*]Strymon Flint Tremelo & Reverb
    [/list]
    Any ideas on the huge green one and the small one in the bottom corner?
