- To put it simply, these Mudhoney guys have played together for a very long time. Their demeanor with each other is as natural as it gets. Lucky for us, Mark and Steve decided to sit down and divulge pedal set-ups for this episode of Board To Death! Classic circuits that were around when they started their first bands are still in the mix, but modern updates promoting reliability definitely don’t hurt. Bit Commander pops up early in Mark’s chain, followed by a mystery box that is used quite often along with the Park Fuzz Sound. You are going have to watch the whole thing to find out what else they use because two dudes’ worth of pedals is a lot, and there is no way anything typed here will illustrate how funny these guys are.

most underrated guys. i love them. i fully understand why they were cobains heroes.
Mark Arm casually mentions that the SuperFuzz became hard to find, as if he has no idea that Mudhoney popularized them.
Where does the pedal chain start?
Stevie: "Amp!"
Marky: "Guitar!"
Stevie: "Amp!"
Marky: "Guitar!"
Mark's amp: ''iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii''
I love the fact these guys are still playing together, making music, playing clubs.
Only Mark Arm would have 5 fuzz pedals on his board.
Jon's Record Rack I’ve got three fuzz pedals and a high gain distortion
Matt Pike: Hold my weed.
I'm currently using 6 on my big board. But I have a fuzz problem, so....
@@imammuhammad3546 J Mascis: Hold my...mumble mumble...
j mascis too possibly
Mark Arm and Steve Turner look like Trey Parker and Matt Stone in disguise.
Once it has been seen, it cannot be unseen
Oh shit! That's funny because it's true!
I have never seen an interview with them separated! lol They are like an old couple. The one thing I have noticed in every interview is when Steve laughs he looks at Mark. lol
Absolutely!
@@freddiegrace3770 just like in That Pedal Show eh?
Sitting here watching Mudhoney with a homemade cup of hot cocoa in my Mudhoney-Big-Muff t-shirt and some sweatpants. Slacker life dosen't get any better than that. :)
haha totally
@@satanicritesofdrugula3893 ass
I just ordered myself a SF BM shirt 🫡✌🏽🎸
@@CryptoAceI just did as well. This band kicks fuckin ass.
Mark and Steve....legends. Long live Mudhoney 🤘
I love these guys.. and i'll love em till the end of the days
I remember seeing them live and they were singing acetone. I can't help but remember the sweat dripping off of Mark Arm's arms.
I've waited many years for a mark arm arm story. Thank you.
Theyre very humble, down to earth, normal and funny.
Shame they only have about 130 good songs
I laughed when Mark mentioned (and mimicked) the sound his first distortion pedals made, I got out an old danelectro distortion I had when I started, had been in the loft nearing 15 years and that’s the exact sound 🤣
Got to meet mudhoney while travelling Australia....was on my own and i dropped acid...was mental ...meeting your heros tripping ...man that night ill never forget...blew my mind...great experience. Lsd plus mudhoney....works a treat
So glad these guys still do what they do.
fuck yeah
They are one my first favorite bands that got me into Fuzz and Grunge sounds. I still remember hearing Mard Arm bellowing on the intro of Touch Me I'm Sick and being like , "Oh hell yes I want to hear more of this"
All these years later - still pals. Love that
November 30, 1993 at the Aladdin Theatre in Las Vegas, Nevada, I watched Urge Overkill, Mudhoney and Pearl Jam play a great concert! Man, that was so fun!!! Pearl Jam and Mudhoney jammed at the end of the concert - a sort of Green River reunion jam. SO GOOD!!!! I love these guys. So happy to see them still doing stuff.
Some of my favorite guitar tones ever. That's really saying a lot.
Clicked instantly. Freaking love Mudhoney. Seen them live , spiritual experience!
Just saw Mudhoney play tonight in little ol’ Margaret River Western Australia…..fkn fantastic!
When I see these guys I still recall that scene from "Hype " movie when Steve was sayin' to Mark:"...my mom used to tell me that i am not a loser..."
Gsus...i.am old...
ha yeah
Damn nice down to earth and fun guys, awesome!
I love how jolly these lads are after all these years, Rock on! \m/
I loved seeing their chemistry leak through. Great vid, guys!
I love that Mark has the Ibanez 60's Fuzz. That plastic Soundtank pedal was key to my sound back in the grunge era, too. Just got an Ibanez Overdrive reissue, which is the same muff-derived circuit. Sounds killer.
I had both of those pedals till quite recently...the soundtank was a metal casing first run one...I found I much preferred the OD850 "Overdrive" reissue. Great pedal. Only sold it because I got hold of an original.
pfff, The original metal case one is the one to own - better acoustics than those fugly plastic cases!
Loved their Detroit show back in October last year. Best concert ever. No talking between songs, just rolling from track to track.
I love Mudhoney! Thanks for having Steve and Mark sit down and talk about their stuff.
saw them in San Jose a few months before this was posted. The guys rock!
I watched this a hundred times. 👀🎸
Fucking loves these guys and mudhoney.
Just loving this series. Thanks as always EQD and Mudhoney!
thanks so very much for watching!
Arm and Turner were my best friend and my Jagger/Richards when I was 17 in 2004. We had graduated from Nirvana and classic rock to Sonic Youth and Minute Men and Mudhoney were the band that made it all make sense.
Saw Mark using that Ibanez Soundtank Fuzz back in the early 2000's. Sounded great!
Awesome guys and I couldn't love more their musical path and history :) Great episode guys! Keep them coming please ;)
Love to see these guys are still great friends after all these years!!!
If there was any justice in the world, Mudhoney would’ve been MASSIVE!,! Superfuzzbigbuff is loaded with classics
They’re happy they didn’t end up too huge look what happened to every single other band in their scene that blew up
True. Although Pearl Jam would be the main big exception.
They were THE band of the early SubPop era that made people excited about what was going on in Seattle. Nirvana was the band on the roster with some catchy tunes and melodies.
@@marcopervo Don't forget TAD.
I remember being at a mudhoney show at the Metro in Chicago. Drunk and taking a wiz. This was when PJ's "Evenflow" came on. I remember having a brief convo with the guy next to me about how I thought that song wasn't that good. I contend PJ is soooo overrated.
These guys are my real inspiration since middle school 🐣
I used to went crazy playing over their first two records when a teenager back in 90s. Barre chords and relative affordable licks and leads, my first . Then my gear was crap, recently doing the same again now with real vintage BigMuffs, Fender amps and offset guitars....another level of pleasure! going back to that hobby, since I can't have a band and I'm so dummy to be productive home recording, composing or whatever...
You should take a grammar class while you're at it.
@@Jamesjimjimmy Mate, I get what your saying but online we all type how we speak these days!
(did you see what I did they're?)
Absolute bloody legends.
Glad to see they're still getting the gigs in.
These Guys are Sweethearts and I love em .
One of my favourite vids of your series Board to Death !!
Thank you so much... I have been waiting years for someone to get these guys to sit down and talk gear with them.
Cheers.
thanks for checking it out!
Pure love❤️
As a Mudhoney fan and an owner of several EQD pedals, I'm baffled how the algorithm took 3 years to show me this.
Love the mud!! Their music and Mark’s unique vocals captured me a long time ago.
An inspiration since I found you in 1990. Thanks boys. Your last show in San Jose was epic. Hope to see you again soon.
I've long been a fan of the EarthQuaker Dispatch Master V3 Delay and Reverb pedal. Funny, Mark used to be a neighbor of mine, still see him around now and again. I always thought he was more of a "whatever's cheap at the pawnshop" kinda guy. Now I'll be tempted to chat him up about EarthQuaker pedals next time we cross paths.
Good one, thanks! I need more fuzz
Likable guys. Down to earth. Still doing it for the love of Music/Noise.Fun stuff.
those Ibanez 60's Fuzz Soundtanks were so great,
I wish I had've known you could put the guts of pedals in better enclosures in the 90s.
Maybe I would still have one of the 4 or 5 I had and destroyed.
I was in the background when they were filming this
Lucky
Mark and Steve are the founders of grunge!!! I love mudhoney!!!!!
Excellent.
Best fkin band‼️‼️‼️😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🚀🚀🙏🏻🙏🏻🏆🏆🏆🙌🙌🤓🤓🤓😘🇨🇦☝️☝
No time like the present to get ripped apart!
You guys are legends
Rad! So perfect.
What a wholesome interview! 😂
Just seeing this some years later. Y'all rule!
SuperfuzzBigmuff is the album that started my gear obsession. Thank you for this video!!
That was brilliant!
funny that Mark mentions Hendrix and MXR distortion + right outta the gate... I use a dunlop gypsy fuzz and an '82 distortion + in my rig as my foundation sounds!
legends
Eye for a eye!
I have a Park Fuzz that I absolutely adore and a Nightwire (#006). I've got the Nightwire dialed in as a kind of always on pedal for me. I love your guys' stuff. Need to look into that Organizer or the Spatial Delivery.
thank you for being a buddy.
So..that's how you bring the "FUZZ!!"⁉️
The chain starts with a guitar no the app no the guitar priceless
This was a great show. You can even see me in it kind of
thanks for watching our videos!
Very cool individuals
I wish Nirvana had stayed at this level .Brilliance always from Mudhoney.
God damn me for pawning my Expandoras.....All three.
Legends. Punk's not dead
I had an ampeg distortion I loved, but it was a gift. It died at some point. Then I bought a boss overdrive, which was ok. It worked well with the Cry-Baby wah my mother brought back for me as a gift from Florida.
Great as always!
Hey EQD, any chance of getting Ian Williams of battles on the show?
ya never know what's next. Stay tuned, we have a lot up our sleeve for 2020
With Green River, I learned about MH many years before Nirvana or Soundgarden.Call it Grunge or whatever, but these guys are the original Northwest sound.
Ah the grog shop, home home home
Everybody in the comments seems to know their gear so lemme just say, Must have a Big Muff. Too much fun. Also totally recommend the Ibanez Tube Screamer. It doesn't overwhelm the natural tone of your guitar. Love it. EDIT: MUDHONEY RULES!
Best alternative rock band ever
These two guys created the grunge sound.
Seattle!!!!
Seattle!
Ok so does the chain start with the amp or guitar?…🤔
I don't know what they're talking about but these guys are cool. I'll ✓it out.
Well done guys. Like it or not this type of reviewing pedals is essential. All the pedals have there own sound. But when you perform in a club or wherever, all those intense sounds get lost you m the band, room and audience. Sure they sound incredible played alone or showcased with a drum machine and mixed perfectly in a studio, but crank that amp up and and battle a heavy handed drummer and the other monkeys trying to be heard, suddenly that 299$ - 499$ pedals is lost in the mix and the listener doesn’t even notice.
Anyway, I doubt that was the message you we’re giving, but I personally would love to see pedal reviews show more practical sound checks like this.
Well...what I meant to say was thank you for this video. I enjoyed it. Cheers
I get it! Thanks for watching and we are very happy that you enjoyed it!
Suprise cameo by @Rhinegeist Brewery
Is there a more iconic pedal for shredders then the Ibanez tube screamer personally I like my noisekick fx Reagan fuzz for when I want to go doom or drone super heavy dirty low end muff like cheap brothel dirty muff, just nasty, not for everyone but that graphic is so cool easily my fave design next to evil bob ross pedal housings nothing quite like it though, lets Make America Fuzz Again
I don’t understand why you need pedals and are they using all of these during one performance?
You can easily add different textures to your music in real time very easily just by stepping down. Some people use every pedal for every performance, and some don't use most of them for any performance. Some are used just for specific parts of songs. It just depends on the individual and how they choose to express themselves. Thanks for watching and being here!
90s ibanez fuzz that needed a rehousing, could that be a Soundtank fuzz?
keegan connor yep 60s fuzz sound tank
Fucking gents.
Is this where I win a plume? I'm so confused.
@1:33
Name of the song? 7:25
Grungehoney
Mark arm looks like he could be Michael cera’s dad.
They're really nice guys
Super nice! Mark put my buddy on the guest list in Toronto years ago ( because I told him he didn’t have a ticket ; we listened to them since 93’)… was fucking so kool! Walked right in with Mark Arm haha! … also got selfies a few years later with Mark & Danny !! ❤❤❤
Lol nerds
Mudhoney is way better then green river ever was!!!!
Where Kurt Cobian stole alot of his style and music..lol yup..
are they married girlfriends or what? or are they shadows for one another?
These guys only claim to fame is that they knew cobain
What? Go back to school son.
my dude. Mudhoney (or Green River which was basically proto-Mudhoney together with some soon-to-be Pearl Jam members) were basically the firsg Grunge bands.
these two guys here could be called the godfathers of grunge and even if it wouldn;t be accurate it would still be somewhat technically correct.
Nirvana brought grunge to the mainstream, but mudhoney arguably brought it to existence.
Genios!!!! todo mi amor y admiración desde Argentina!!!
