The Orphan The Poet's David Eselgroth - GEAR MASTERS Ep. 212

[Applause] you hey everybody I'm David I sing and play guitar and the orphan the poet and I'm gonna walk you through my gear so the guitar I play is a mid-2000s American Fender Telecaster I played these for a while and it honestly is probably the first guitar I've ever fell in love with my backup is the exact same thing different color but still just an American fender and it's all stock fender doesn't right stock pickup stock pot stock everything so I do like the maple neck typically but other than that I can't go wrong with a with a tele and kind of the same way that I just kind of keep it down the middle with the stock guitar volume pot tone pot just wide open and I'm almost always on my bridge it's got a lot of bite it's got enough growl still to it so to me that's that's the sweet spot for what I do I play with them so but as far as strings ago I'm an Ernie Ball man I play the B fees for our color dependent people that's the yellow back that's what that's what I always use I've used this for years as well so I'm kind of like if it's not broken don't fix it type of guy so like I'm just yeah I love this guitar love love love as far as picks goes I think maybe I just have the propensity for yellow I think I'm on the the yellow turtles I call them the Jim Dunlop's 0.73 medium medium feeling but yeah and right and right here I have my my custom genus CAD we had Janis custom build these forests I don't know the exact year but he was fantastic I had previously owned and played through oranges forever and I love this cats I mean so I sat down with with with the guys over there I said I love I love the orange but I'm really interested in working with you guys what can we do so they what they did they they sat down with an orange cap figured out what made that thing tick and then gave me something that was orange e but still Janis through and through and so this is fantastic the Celestion vintage 30s in it which the probably my favorite speaker and I think what with wiring is 8 ohms just real basic but gets the job done and it looks big it obviously makes a statement on stage that's that's what you wanted ok so this is my super simple pedal setup I do sing so I try and keep any dancing on the pedal boards kind to a minimum first thing I hit is my line 6 g7 it is my Wireless on the strap of my guitar I'm not sure if and so I have a wireless pack that sends signal here then it hits my my tuner very important got it got to be in tune then after that the only effects I have on the board are the primary crybaby law that's just a fun thing just to mess around with and then this is actually a custom fuzz pedal that Jake gave me our bassist I don't know how old it is where where he he might have picked it up at a yard sale Island them now but he said hey try this out and I did and I loved it because really the tongue that I go for is I always have a bit of bite on the guitar but this just really lets it fuzz out and just be that big beefy just man of a tone that's you want you know so I said that's a that's a super cool pedal I wish I knew knew more about it but I kind of like that I don't it's the mystery you know it means it's that mystery piece missing knob like I'm never going going to fix that that's whatever these are all the racks we kind of conveniently kind of inconveniently put them on this big heavy case but I get to be a second bunk here and this is my egg Nader renegade I love this amp I'm pretty sure no matter what band I was in via this alternative rock band via the country band II the metal band this thing could take care of me it is insanely tweakable on honestly probably more tweetable get a guy like me even is is comfortable with like I'm kind of bare-bones set it and forget it tot type of guy and this thing handles me even if I put all these up and straight up and down buh-buh-buh sounds great I tweaked it a little bit depending on the room we're in you know if it's a little bass e I might roll this back or whatever depending on the stage but this thing is amazing I'm not sure if they're quite as coveted as some other amps because yeah you can you can walk into a store and buy one of these but it's it's awesome I cannot say enough about this and so ice I'm a I'm a double duty guy on stage I play guitar but then also I sing and so I tour with my handy dandy Sennheiser e8 35 Wireless it's cool it lets me dance around a little bit so the times that I'm not playing guitar I can kind of roam around I can do a dance and this is just a basic straight stand but I always carry my own like I don't know it's like a superstitious thing like I walk in this is my stand it just no one else is gonna mess with it and I can do with what what I want with it if I break it and kids I'll walk into a storm by now whatever but uh we I definitely like the freedom and just the kind of interaction that this puppy affords me being able to walk out you know mess with people in or or whatever but this is a this is a this is a fun time for me well hey once again I'm David with you or from the poet thank you guys so much for checking out my gear our new single still buzzing is out now you can you check it on Spotify and you might catch it on your local radio as well but yeah always reppin Fender Sennheiser they keep us happy and we love you
