Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas

Used with Mutemath, according to the following sources.

Reddit, October 19, 2015, "We are MUTEMATH! Ask Us Anything!"

saturnzebra Roy - What did you use to get that "woody" overdriven guitar on Allies? What would you say your most essential piece of gear is? Do you prefer fruits or vegetables and why?

mutemathofficial Roy- JHS morning glory is essential, and helps get a lot of crucial tones we use. Equally excited about fruits and veggies.

And then I go into this Morning Glory, which has been one of my favorite pedals, maybe of all time. It sounds great on bass, it is all over the record. It's an overdrive, but it's really subtle, it adds over a great color. It's always on for bass and guitar.

Josh H. Scott I remember coming to a show after we had met and you guys, like Todd, I met Todd, he had filled in on guitar and had become the new member. I had come to some soundchecks and I walked up to your board and I believe it's this board. We're still speculating the year, but if you see the top left you have the crazy old unpainted ABY, Nick will remember those.

Nick Loux Oh yeah.

Josh H. Scott And then you have a stamped Morning Glory, with the bad stamp, the one that's like, not separated and that was, that was super interesting because I was just making pedals and surviving and building a company and that was the guitar pedal. That was a pedal I made for me to play my single coils through Bassmans and it just felt right to me and that's all I cared about and I walk up and I'm like, "This, like, bass player I love is using it on his bass?"

Throughout this video Roy can be seen with a T-40 with a maple neck and natural finish body

This is a video of Roy on tour with Mutemath at The Tabernacle Theatre in Atlanta, GA on November 6, 2009 during their fall 2009 Armistice tour.

According to Rig Rundown, body is from 1976 and the neck is from 1978. Original neck was switched because of some "problems". This bass was used to record "Armistice" and many other records. This guitar uses Ernie Ball Flatwound strings.

In the Premier Guitar "Rig Rundown" video, Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas of Mutemath discusses using the JHS Colour Box pedal, noting its placement at the end of his effects chain.

At 9:28 minute mark, Mitchell-Cardenas said that he used Fender Blues Deluxe on the last tour. He used it with combination of Palmer PDI-09. This amp broke at the end of the tour, and that was the time Mitchell decided to tour without pedals. According to Mitchell-Cardenas, that was 1957 Blues Deluxe.

In the rig rundown, at 9:28 minute mark, Mitchell-Cardenas explained how he used Palmer PDI-09 for the last tour, in combination with 1957 Fender Blues Deluxe.

At 11:22 minute mark, Mitchell-Cardenas shows the JHS Mini Foot Fuzz pedal.

In this Instagram, Mutemath posts a video clip of Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas playing the theme to The Munsters on his Galanti Grand Prix electric guitar. He also posts another photo where this same guitar can be seen. The Instagram is captioned:

"I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! Stay safe & eat lots of chocolate. Cheers! -Roy @mitchellcardenas by the way, this a quick stab at my favorite theme song: THE MUNSTERS"

In this rig rundown with Roy, he point out the Flashback after his rehoused DD-7, and says he uses presets, which gives him a lot of quick things to go to

In this Rig Rundown, Roy points out his Ibanez DE7 which he details as a "classic Mutemath pedal" and describes how he prefers the warmth of this particular pedal opposed to his Flashback and the DD7

Here Roy is seen on stage, before a show with his band 'Mutemath', being interviewed by JHS Pedals. He is standing next to the Moog Minimoog Voyager, which he uses to get deep synth bass for some of their songs. He talks about using the Moog when recording their third record 'Odd Soul' at 2:46 in this video. "I played bass and I played guitar and all that stuff, but the main sounds, especially in the riffs and verses, really come from this Moog"

At 12:34, Roy points out the OC-3 octave pedal by Boss. This was in the Rig Rundown conducted by Premier Guitar.

In this rig rundown, Roy points out the JHS pedal, which he keeps in loop 1 of his One Control

he can be seen changing the settings of his space echo during 9:36

Grand combo.

"This is from the Sublime Guitar Company in Tampa, FL. This is their Chieftain model and I got this maybe about 3 years ago..." According to Mitchell-Cardenas, this guitar was original blue, but it was later switched to collage art, some of that being the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mitchell-Cardenas's favourite artist.

Mitchell-Cardenas has 15 presets on Chamaeleo Tail Loop, and 5 loops. Loop 1 is JHS Twin Twelve, loop 2 is Boss OC-3 octave pedal, and the other three pedals are delays.

At 13:43 in this Rig Rundown, Roy's Hardwire RV-7 is seen after the DE7 in his chain.

he plays this bass on the song ''heavydirtysoul'' with twenty one pilots

Roy uses this guitar during the song ''ride''

“Amps?! We don’t need no stinking amps,” might be Roy’s calling card as he travels without a guitar or bass amp. He plugs straight into his board by way of the JHS Colour Box that gives the band’s FOH engineer a pure, clean signal. Other noisemakers include a Boss OC-3 Super Octave, a JHS Twin Twelve, a JHS Morning Glory, a JHS Mini Foot Fuzz, a Boss DD-7 Digital Delay rehoused in a custom-painted JHS enclosure, an Ibanez ToneLok DE7 Delay/Echo, a TC Electronic Flashback X4 Delay, and a DigiTech HardWire RV-7 Stereo Reverb. To switch between bass and guitar he employs a JHS Mini A/B box and powers his stomps with a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus.
