Brent Hinds

Hey everyone, it’s your boy bHinds here with a special announcement. With the help of some talented people, we are rolling out the “Dirty B Hinds” brand with our first product the “Mastodrive” pedal, with art by the wizard himself @lurklovesyou aka Russ. We've only made 250 of these bad boys and each comes with a signed certificate by yours truly. Time to jump on the rad train to rockville and grab one of these from the link in my bio before they are gone.

At 3:30, Brent explains why he uses this pedal, made for bass guitars, saying, "I use the bass wah because the envelope is way more dramatic and you don't have to click it...it really gets a dramatic effect out of it."

Did you achieve the soaring, fuzzy, echoed-out solo on “The Sparrow” by doubling it with a synth?

Hinds: "That’s a Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octavio pedal through an Ibanez Tube Screamer over a Monster Effects Mastortion pedal into a Fender Princeton Reverb. It sounds doubled, but it’s not."

An MXR GT-OD can be seen on Brent's pedalboard at 3:02 in this video, and he says, "It has gain on it, but the gains rolled down pretty considerable, but i just use it as a boost."

In this post from KHDK Electronics, you can see Brent Hinds holding the Unicorn Blood II in this last photo of this post.

Behold... here are some behind the scenes photos snapped by @justinmohlman catching Brent and Matt in the wild jamming on the mythical and elusive “Unicorn Blood” guitar pedal. Legend has it that simply playing this pedal will give the player the strength of 1,000 Unicorns fueled with Dark Matter Coffee. © 2020 @darkmattercoffee @bhinds @akmoceretattooer @mastodonrocks @highonfireband #unicornblood2 #guitarpedals #unicornblood #highonfire #mastodon #brenthinds #mattpike #leica

At 2:58 in this video, Brent talks about one of his pedal boards. In the associated article Steve Cook writes "The second pedalboard helps Hinds shape his lap steel tones, and it’s more spartan than his main board. He starts this signal chain with a Boss TU-3 tuner, which then leads to another Ernie Ball volume pedal, an unmarked drive stompbox, and then a Boss DD-7 delay. The whole shooting match is powered by a Dunlop Brick power supply".
