Home 2017 October Daniel Ash – POPTONE Pedal Board – Update

Daniel Ash – POPTONE Pedal Board – Update

A couple of months ago I saw an Instagram post from POPTONE showing Daniel Ash’s pedalboard. For those of you not familiar, Daniel Ash is one of my favorite guitarists out there emerging from the late 70s post-punk/goth bands – Bauhaus, Tones on Tail and Love and Rockets. Tones on Tail has always been one of my favorite bands, and had such a short run and always flies under the radar. POPTONE is Daniel Ash, Kevin Haskins and Diva (Haskins’ daughter) performing Tones on Tail (along other songs) and are currently on tour now. I’m really hoping to catch a show at some point….

Anyway, a couple of months ago, I took a stab at identifying the pedals, and recently I was just notified about a video where you can see things much clearer. I was close, but wrong on a few. Here is the video…

So here, is a better list of what’s going on..

    Just love this. Saw Poptone in September ’17 and have been a fan of Ash since discovering L&R and branching backwards in 1989 (and forward ever since). Myself also a fan of pedal set-ups devoted to a sole manufacturer (I have my own EHX-only board), this is thrilling. I already have a couple of these and plan to try to recreate the entire thing over the next few months just for fun. What I find absolutely fascinating right off the bat, though, is the apparent placement of the distortion and chorus at the absolute end of the chain (at least to my eyes) compared to the time-based effects. I’ve never much veered from the tried-and-true ordering and, even before I get to the dials, expect this kind of out-of-the-box experimentation is going to be key to some new sounds (even if I can never attain Ash-ness). Thanks so much for pursuing these posts. Yours is the only blog I have seen diving into the deceptively “simple” setup of one of the most intriguing tones in Rock and Roll.

    This is great.

    I’ve been an Ash fan since Bauhaus.
    Spent hours copying his look and guitar playing.

    I would love to know his pedal board from his Bauhaus days. Putting overdrive or distortion after chorus and flanger gets me almost there but I’m missing something.

    She’s in Parties and Dark Entries are great fun to play but it’s never the same unless the distorted,modulating,feedback is right.

    There’s a challenge, what was Ash’s board set up during Bauhaus?

    “It’s not brain surgery. A bit of echo and an e-bow and it doesn’t sound like guitar. Mick Ronson said he didn’t use any effects. He only used a wah-wah pedal. What’s much more important than using lots of different “wobble boxes,” as I call them, is using your imagination. Having said that, I’ve got about eight pedals in front of me for the gig. They’re the same eight pedals I’ve used since 1979.”

    What do you like to use?
    “I always use a chorus at full-speed. A good old fashioned fuzz box. Boss do a great fuzz pedal. That orange one? You know it? I really don’t like the heavy metal ones. They just sound ridiculous to me. They sound like sawdust. It’s a real thin sound while this [orange] one has some balls to it.”
