Two NEW Afford-A-Boards - ⚡️\\\METAL///⚡️& 🦋~A~M~B~I~E~N~T~ 🦋

[@nastamasterx]

You should do a SHOEGAZE AFFORD-A-BOARD!

[@Balandinis]

Zoom multistomp, zoom multistomp and if you have money another zoom multistomp /s

[@agarcoins2177]

SHOEGAZE

[@nastamasterx]

@@Balandinis you commented in the wrong place! Lol

[@Balandinis]

@@nastamasterx wdym

[@Balandinis]

The comment was a joke, but having a multistomp in a shoegaze pedalboard is pretty cool

[@jeffdward]

thanks for justifying all these cheap pedals I've been buying recently!

[@LuisEduardoBraschi]

I don't know what it is but it feels so nice when you have like 10~15 cheap pedals and a guy with a KZbin channel says "woah, it sounds great". It's like getting approval for buying magic beans.

[@MrScrofulous]

@@LuisEduardoBraschi Yeah, but I'm not quite ready to trade my sacred cows on them just yet. I see them as more like disposable entertainment. A meal out costs as much as these toys and does not last as long. I can get a whole two bug rolls at Rick Shores at Burleigh for the price of one of these little dudes, and that's just a snack.

[@andrewpattie3528]

For high gain I always stack an overdrive before any fuzz/distortion. You can use OD’s volume or Gain dial to push the other pedal further. Less likely to feedback. Also noise gate after drive but before Delay/Verb.

[@jordanmayer5932]

That metal afforda-board is fucking glorious. Seriously. Hats off. You nailed it. From sludge to doom to stoner to prog and beyond. I really enjoyed that.

[@gregorymackenzie1108]

I particularly like the ambient board. Interesting idea to cover boards by genre, or even artist.

[@joelypolely]

Your previous vids sold me on the twinote pi fuzz. It's awesome! Sleeper pedal if there ever was one. Glad it made it back to a board!

[@jpizzleforizzle]

Awesome video. I love cheap pedals! Suggestion1: set the fuzz to a lower gain and use the boost in front for 2 gain options. Suggestion 2 (my preference): first delay in the chain should have about 2 to 3 repeats, kinda fast, low mix. Then follow that with the trem. Then the tap delay, long repeats. End the chain with a verb. Anyway, great stuff as always!

[@tylerleerhuber1755]

I freaking love these videos I’ve been binge watching the whole series over the past couple days 🤣

[@GC-ji3ye]

Hey Ryan, I found a Mosky BB preamp clone on the cheap at the pawn a while back and I was impressed. This series inspired me to scoop up a few of these minis, a small power supply, and a board to build a travel rig for my work week. Gave my Bullet Mustang some TLC and fret work. Now to wait for them to come in. Keep it up! Cheers!

[@senterpoint]

This series is really enjoyable to watch. I do wish you would do "slightly effected" at some point during the vid as those settings seem valuable too. Ya know, just a touch of this and that. Thanks for all these comparisons and your opinion of each pedal. That's valuable!

[@djay6651]

I have the Azor analog delay and you can tweak it so you don't really hear a delay, but it fills out the tone and gives it some character.

[@JohnnyBeane]

Sounds great!

[@TheRisingoftheLights]

Loving the afford-a-board videos. Led to me adding the Kmise Phaser and Chorus to my options. Both of which I'm enjoying.

[@Briansgate]

LOVE that big red kill switch

[@eyeball226]

If it's a gate without a loop then it definitely goes before the gain. The dynamic range of the clean guitar helps the gate work better because the difference between the stuff you want and the stuff you don't want is much greater. If you put the gate after the gain then any quiet noises that you want to gate out will already have been boosted in volume. If the gate has a loop then it's a different story because you can have the detection before the gain and the gating after.

[@dragan4658]

These affordable pedals sound very good! Thanks Ryan, play safe and stay safe! 🙏🤟

[@Xxmeca421xX]

i used double side tape for some pedals with tall legs and because my board is painted wood, the velcro are from a roll of 10 thousand velcro ovals that have one roll for the backs and one roll for the hooks.. I bought it about 15 years ago and still have a few thousand left lmao. I've never used a vecro strip but i think i will one my next board. This will be my 3rd build, im putting locking roller wheels on the bottom so its easier to move and my custom designed power supply mount that will have plexi in the front for the leds to shine through.

[@bobbusby5058]

I lent my Fab Metal to my buddy before the quarantine started, have a suspicion I will never see it again. lol Great boards!

[@Smurf431]

I love the Azor pedals, the Leon & Noise are must haves IMHO....

[@MrScrofulous]

That Papaya drive sounds so good it's ridiculous. I love the "Stay Grounded" shirt design, I just bought one yesterday. It's a great motto too !!

[@stevel6986]

Love these videos!! Thank you for covering all these pedals!! U have a new subscriber!!

[@djay6651]

I love the metal, but I'd really like to see an early 70's hard rock afforda board, ala Mountain, Sabbath etc.

[@mcbrodz1663]

Cheap treble/clean boost, cheap fuzz mayeb

[@michaelw6277]

Man I think you just sold me a Bullet Mustang. What a cool little guitar.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

I and most people I know that use a noise gate for metal use the 4 cable method. So both before and after.

[@kalelxchugchug9469]

Absolutely perfect!💯💥🤟thanks,for i know now how to stack my extreme metal to get an amazing METAL TONALITY😍🤟

[@ronfalkoff]

Fun Series... Keep on pedaling Ryan!!!

[@ezcomusic7897]

Been loving your content

[@SrDeMaFp]

RE: Noise gates on pedalboard - I place mine first in line (after tuner and wah) and if the amp is too noisy I’ll put one in the effects loop too.

[@SrDeMaFp]

Philip Schlaepfer You’re right. I misspoke. Glad you caught that for me. I (90% of the time) use actives as well and meant to say that I put it BEFORE the wah, NOT after! I do have the tuner first in line, though.

[@Tim_Lambesis]

Look up the 4 cable method for noise gates. It runs first in line through the front of the amp and also first in line through the effects loop, so you effectively have 2 gates in 1.

[@johnnyguitar7921]

is it possible to use the noise gate of guitar pedals as an effect? im guessing not since the control parameters are very limited?

[@jonniefast]

im officially down the rabbithole lol uploads like this are underrated the song uses the board not the other way around good stuff

[@jonniefast]

my budget was $100 got 8x pedals will all needed cables etc 🥹

[@nellax8314]

love this checking out your affordaboard

[@ehdforlife]

I liked the Azor better than the Fab. It's a good metal pedal. Great video.

[@guitardreamgirl9312]

I miss this backdrop 10/10

[@wonderwomanguy]

Very much digging that dream board. I'm looking at my boxes thinking the same thing....

[@xRepoUKx]

The blue Kmise Crunch Distortion is an MI Audio Effects Crunch Box, a British (eh high gain Marshall) amp sound.

[@picksalot1]

The Metal Affordaboard sounds great! The Azor pedals are amazing. I think the Ambient Affordaboard needs a Looper pedal. It probably doesn't need a big fuzz pedal - takes up too much space. There must be a good small pedal option. A mini Wah/Volume pedal could also be a nice addition.

[@pmtxusa9946]

The Azor fuzz pedal is a phenomenal muff clone, but I think it would have made this looks like an Azor tribute board (which I practically have as my second board).

[@johnharris1846]

very cool Ryan! Thanks!

[@josephshmoesinsky8610]

This is the coolest guitar pedal review series.

[@j3ffn4v4rr0]

I like the sound of that Azor distortion pedal....is it an emulation of some classic well-known pedal?

[@donkrause]

#Affordaboard!!! Love this series!

[@dattoboy1]

Hey Ryan I'm really enjoying the affordaboard videos. I noticed you have a TC Tailspin on the shelf- Would you be able to do a comparison between the tailspin and the Kokko Vibrato pedal?

[@LuisEduardoBraschi]

Waiting for the Mooer afford-a-board. I have an octaver called Tender Octave that sounds pretty nice. In the package there is also an auto-wah, multi-modulation and other treats.

[@LuisEduardoBraschi]

And the Hotone Skyline series. 👌

[@glenkepic3208]

great vid. if I ever piss off anyone or whatever 10:30 or so is ground zero for me. Play, Don't Worry.

[@bobthreeton6976]

I lost it when you went all Top Gun on us!

[@garbo9251]

Love this series, have you reviewed the Caline CP-15 Tantrum? It's a metal distortion pedal around $25 on Amazon

[@KC-jb3me]

Awesome video man! It really helped me out decide what to buy . I'm still a newbie

[@the_nondrive_side]

I rather like Ambient Metal. Metal needs the Pπ. It's able to mid scoop or clean up mid boost with scoop positive side. But also fuzz π have loads of mods available. A noise gate can be part of a Fuzz. Like the Fuzz Factory has a gate. Pπ is the daddy up there A feedback loop with a wah on these rigs.. Something targeting a fuzz face before amp and tape delay fx loop Cuvave- chorus- Pπ- gate. Delay The Joyo 🐏 and it's variants need to be reconsidered. Lots of us are using a dirty amp. 23:50 it's like you almost did the National anthem The TwinNote stuff seems to be heavy weights in the afford a board game.

[@EpicStuffMan1000]

most gates in fuzz pedals aren't noise gates like you'd find in a noise gate pedal they're created by biaising one or more of the transistors so it takes a higher voltage to turn them on, which is a completely different sound and process to a normal noise gate. good shout though

[@the_nondrive_side]

@@EpicStuffMan1000 it's very similar in function. Absolutely your right it's not at all the same thing.

[@noname-ng6sj]

@@the_nondrive_side This is a really bad take

[@the_nondrive_side]

@@noname-ng6sj my comment or the video? Both are reaching for some stability. I only see one Afford-A-Board Variant. The Ambient Metal Shoegaze. $66 you can get a 3 loop switcher and make one a feedback with a pot and momentary.

[@raf.raf.]

I've been eyeing the joyo ram's head for some time now. Sounds killer

[@vincelicas2422]

been binge-watching your channel for a month. Love the channel. is there a link to the "official" affordaboard or is it always changing?

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

Ryan, thank you for the tip on just 2 pieces of Velcro. I’ve been wasting velcro for too many years!

[@60CycleHumcast]

think of all the velcro trees you will save.

[@davidlong5860]

I'd recommend the Ammoon Octa for a decent fairly cheap polyphonic octave pedal for either of these boards - it'll do an upper and lower octave, and for the price (about $60-$70), the upper octave sounds ok. The Guns & Guitars guy did a video on it, and I bought one soon after seeing that

[@GeneLLynch]

Two of my favorite genres

[@Mudheron]

Love your show.

[@tubularbill]

That board sounds great

[@GC-ji3ye]

Double Affordaboard weekend hype!!! Put all three boards on a shirt and sell it!

[@TheAtariCreep]

Both boards sound great but the ambient board is so sexy!

[@sassycat]

Ryan, I know you are a tall boy, but you've got to upgrade your shirt game. 😏 I would have liked to have heard the Lead III or the Nutter through the ambient board.

[@NoirEater]

Been rocking the Fan Chorus for almost a decade got it maybe a year after I started playing. It's not amazing but I like having it in my chain

[@sebastiancordero237]

the FAB is pretty impressive

[@BrandonOutside]

Two great boards! I wonder, would these work well together in a wet/dry setup?

[@no-rj5by]

Gonna second that request for a shoegaze board (oop, you already did it!)

[@mindset1768]

What guitar is that brown one left to the green one with 3 picku ups?

[@JohnKelly2]

How about a blues pedalboard or a Grunge pedalboard.

[@djay6651]

You gotta have the DOD FX69 Grunge for that grunge board.😝

[@imagzz4942]

Where can I find those TwinNote pedals?

[@johnnyguitar7921]

i stumbled upon a $33 dollar germanium fuzz,,, and it really sounds great,,, back in the day the "cheapest" pedals were the Danelectro ones and they were kind og ugly looking and sort of mediocre sounding,,, its like it was probably sort of forbidden to make cheap pedals sound good or look good,,, now its heaven

[@nitecreature01]

you should do a dreampop affordaboard

[@jasonverveer1385]

Volume pedal=AMBIENT swells , good reason to try out a cheap one.

[@wolffyward]

Still hoping to see a video for Ex eno pedals. Cant find a video for it if you already did it

[@ElohimJim]

Im sat here smoking a joint with my eyes closed just vibing and then you started playing the tune from Top Gun and I had the biggest grin on my face ever...

[@tepevan]

Where can I find that Azor Reverb pedal (the brown one)? Amazon, Ebay, Reverb, SweetWater and MusiciansFriend don't have it.

[@edpack4390]

I'm not a fan of some of the so called "boutique" pedals - especially with the crazy prices some are asking. Thankfully there are some reasonable options available.

[@Taallyn]

How much are the power supplies for these? Anything to be aware of when picking a power supply? Pedal newbie here, so no clue about building boards at all.

[@60CycleHumcast]

Craig Lee for most analog pedals on a small pedalboard a one spot style wall wart with a daisy chain will be fine. Drives and fuzzes typically take very little electricity. When you start incorporating higher power digital pedals things can start going sideways, and you will need more power or even a power supply with isolated power.

[@djay6651]

I bought the Donner DP-1 for like $30 on Amazon.

[@davisongeorge]

suggestion, blues affordaboard

[@pittuthead]

Cardboard Steve t-shirt!

[@joaquinlavin5877]

Hey man! Do you have any nice, cheap vibrato pedal recommendation??

[@pkeaton1]

The noise gate would probably work better first in the line up.

[@Sandman60077]

The Rowin Holy War is a cool hi-gain pedal

[@Al-mu4ff]

Ok, when are you going to publish your list of the pedals you have on your boards? I have 1200.00 bucks to spend...lol

[@OGREgaming420]

Good tones man. I need an afford a record. How to record the best times affordably. I'm broke but I can't keep recording through my phone.

[@sublimingmule6356]

I gate after distortion. Some people gate before and after

[@archielambert7418]

in Australia this video premiered at 3:00 in the morning

[@jorgegodoy1590]

What pickups do u have on that guitar??

[@Wildman9]

Put your noise gate at the end of the chain. And your tapping needs some work.Hahaha,Rockin out with the 👍cheapies.

[@BrandonBames]

Did you have a particular reason for putting chorus before dirt? I’ve always put mod pedals in the fx loop

[@drzontar]

I can't speak for Ryan, but I always put modulation pedals before dirt. It sound a lot more organic, juicy, and less "processed" to me. But it's all a matter of opinion. Do what sounds good to you.

[@darrellm3410]

Turn a couple pedals sideways. They will fit

[@artdawggy]

I'm not sure if you do this kind of thing but I'll ask anyway. I'm a blues player looking for an overdrive. I'm not into metal type distortions. What would you suggest?

[@djay6651]

An Ibanez Tube Screamer if you can afford it, but there are plenty of decent clones out there as well.

[@pavkamd]

CCM board time... Not that it won't be 90% ambient, but still...

[@sonicobsessions947]

Is that a bonsai scissors that worth a thousands

[@teknical100]

Thanks!

[@nicolashunter4131]

i think the caline snake bite is better than mosky spring for ambient

[@theWARMJET]

me too, but the mosky is just a reverb

[@seanhershey3390]

I thought you were going to break into Dead Kennedys " Police Truck" for a second.

[@davidpersonful]

Very late to the party. I just received an Azor chorus. While it is miles above the terrible yellow Behringer chorus in sound, there is an unbearable pop any time I turn on the pedal. What has been your experience with their customer service? Should I try to get them to send me another or just count this as a loss?

[@davidpersonful]

I suspect it may be the aggressively bright LED that is causing the pop. Those Azor pedal LEDs can be seen from space.

[@simonssparestrings8910]

Ryon can you please try the fat ox distortion pedal

[@zombiemontage]

On a side note, that digital delay sounds great on it's own. City and Colour vibe

[@gramsci420]

The high gain board needs a cost effective harmonizer

[@scottkieran4723]

where is the list of pedals?

[@riffraff6585]

Boost in front of the fuzz, distortions. Should sound better.

[@toadetteremotewithwiimotio3330]

Me (an Alternative) Let‘s mix them!

[@JaggieMoMo]

What's the price cap on affordabord pedals? like 50 bucks?

[@60CycleHumcast]

JaggieMusic when I buy them I try to keep it under $30, but a few have been under $50

[@Quentino808]

Bit too much fuzz and gain for my taste but still a fun board to play around with

[@alyster8520]

Please make a shoegaze affordaboard with pedals that has reverse reverb mode

[@jefmaslan1702]

Delays then reverbs for the record. Also, the Ambient board really should be called the "church board" because let's be honest, it sounded so pdub.

[@jefmaslan1702]

Also about ready to buy myself a copy of the ambient board.

[@noname-ng6sj]

That's absolutely not true.

[@Ottophil]

I play ambient metal
