Vulfpeck's Cory Wong 'Travel Size' Pedalboard Build

Today on the Rig Doctor, we go round two with Cory Wong, building him a more compact rig for his upcoming Europe tour! Cory consolidated to a single overdrive and added the Line 6 HX Stomp to make this one of the most compact and powerful boards out there. We are extremely excited to have worked with Cory again— let us know what you think in the comments below! If you have any questions about this build, leave those in the comments as well!

MUSIC:

My favorite thing about this video is when Cory plays his awesome compressed and palm-muted riffs, the subtitles say ‘applause’

[melihkaleciklioglu]

These small boards are so satisfiying.

[Sam-vlsl]

Saw Cory this monday here in Mannheim, Germany and loved the whole show, the whole band's and especially his tone was unreal! So thank you, rig doctor, I guess :)

[reedmillermusic]

Cory is such a human metronome. Love the new compact rig!

[AndreaGiovanniniBZ]

Saw him tonight live in Italy. The guitar sound was incredible, that compressor works really well with cleans

[johnlucus]

that ladies and gentlemen is why everyone should own a Wampler Ego. Great job on another killer board Mason! Massive amount of options in a small package!

Man. Thanks for showing a lot of small/travel builds. I play on a lot of small stages and/or places where I'd catch hell if I showed up with a massive board (blues joints/French Quarter bars). In an era of GAS overdoses at an all-time high (except for maybe the early 80's), the "do it with less" approach is shining through. I'm doing a Crunchy Frog, Keeley Supermod, Avalanche run with tuner and wah and I don't think I've felt more creative in a long time.

[AZFunk]

Damn, that's a mighty nice tight board. Definitely feeling that H9-Stomp combo...I think that Stomp is going on the "Christmas list" (although might give the Iridium a look too...I kinda like it's simplicity). Mason, if you did a form factor like the Keeley 2 pedal stuff for the SS and Ultraphonix, that would be a nice little pedalboard fit.

Honestly one of my favorite intros of any youtube channel

[TheDpthawt]

Great post, love Mr.Wongs guitfiddle work, and I geek out on your pedal board builds, thanks for all the details and links. Ok that said, that Dumble sounds amazing! The audio on this demo was among the best captures of a Dumble ODS clean I’ve heard on YouTube, I could almost feel the strings under my fingers, and oh so juicy! Thank you sir!

[NIZKIZ]

Hi! Thank you for the vid. Maybe it was asked billions of times, but where can I get those caps that you put on hxstomp buttons?

[joaolucianodinizcosta]

When you have a technician god to build your pedalboard, a guitar god to play with it, the best amp in the world and an UltraPhonix as your main overdrive. How many of us thought this would be a bad video?

[adamkorner]

Came here for the Cory Wong, stayed for the Doctor

[tommystratpaul]

I flippin love his playin, but his right hand is freaking me out haha

[markwlv]

I was at the Troubador show - sounded great!

[Thurston]

I’m more into the smaller simpler rigs! So I found this ep Fascinating!

[TheSprayking]

you can also use a butter knife to slip under your pedals to get them off..works great. just slip betwenn velcros and dislodge... if you cant find upholstery thing...

[Braxton]

Love these build videos you do Mason. They have been a huge help with my own build. Also really love the square plugs with smaller mogami wire .... Thanks for doing these.

[adigitalalex]

Steel string/ultraphonix combo? TAKE MY MONEY. I would love to open up a spare spot on my board.

[prsfan]

A great idea in combining the 2 "D" style pedals into a combo pedal... put me on the list for one also!!! (even though I already have both in single form.)
