How To Set Up Your Pedalboard in 5 Minutes - Beginners Guide To Guitar Pedals

[@ADMcAllister]

This guy served me last time I was in the shop. I remember thinking, 'shit...the customer service here is excellent'.

[@taffboyslim]

A couple of years ago, I was on a city break with my wife and we'd only been in Newcastle for a couple of hours, we'd had "lunch" and were walking down to the quayside when my wife pointed out a guitar shop (I had somehow totally missed it). I went in looking to try out a Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster. Dagan showed me the selection they had and I mentioned that I'd always loved the look of a black Fender with a Maple neck.We both agreed that it was a good look and it was a shame there were none in the the shop. Then my wife pointed to one that was hanging up on a stand immediately behind Dagan (We had both somehow totally missed it). Half an hour later, I had purchased my first Fender Telecaster (Modern Player) as an early 50th birthday present. I've now done close to 100 gigs with it and every time I pick it up it brings back fond memories of a great visit.

[@alabastersmidge4692]

taffboyslim Great story! 👍

[@liferiot]

Sometimes it's the helpful genius at the music store who opens the door to music legends just by be being helpful to a shy beginner too afraid to admit he doesn't know how to rock yet.

[@RexyFan]

@@taffboyslim Moral of the story. Always take your wife shopping with you. She always finds things us males can never, even if it was right under our nose.

[@jamescbender43081]

I keep my wah/volume/expression pedals off the board and just put them on the floor. The reason is that my pedalboard is angled, and I think having those pedals on a flat surface makes them easier and more comfortable to use. Yeah, it adds a couple minutes to setup/teardown, but I think it's worth it. Just my $0.02

[@randysnewbiebluesrockguita7782]

I have mine on the edge of the board but I think I am gonna do what you are doing.

[@Al-Madhloom]

Totally agree with having wah off board on the side.

[@moncorp1]

I would never put it in the middle like that. It needs to be by itself.

[@iamshredder3587]

I do too lol. Except for one neat board ive got that's angled but has a slightly depressed section on the far right sized for a crybaby or under that is near level but slightly raised and I find it just fits me perfect when I'm sitting on a stool playing and working it. And stops my smaller thus annoyingly mobile pedals from becoming a wah-nana peel to slide ass up on)))

[@darkdoggo8181]

This guy so cool and all but can’t concentrate on what he’s saying I just see Russel Brand talking to me about guitar stuff

[@reverendg5937]

You mean it's Not Really Russel Brand?!?!?🤔

[@SEEKANDDESTROY717]

😂😂😂

[@Hoozer1984]

I see Russel Brand and Orlando Bloom 😄

[@hectorquinones5579]

Yesss, finally. In other videos were saying Jack Sparrow, but I see Russell Brand.

[@AudioDigitalMusic]

Lame, learn English

[@8terminusmaximus8]

Thank you for explaining all this quickly and practically

[@joshgreen4521]

I loved the tip of only putting velcro on the part of the pedals that actually touch the pedalboard in stead of covering the whole thing with velcro. It looks much better. However instead of only putting one part of the velcro on the pedal and the other part directly on the board I find it much easier to just put both parts under the pedal with the sticking part down and then carefully place the pedal where it should be on the board. 👍🏻

[@PaulFreemanTheTall]

Like the speed of this, better than those vids that toss about before getting down to it. Nice one.

[@liamblokerije9771]

I know this is an old video but i'm pretty new to pedals an i just bought some, thank you so much this video saved my life.

[@Tee-cm1pp]

this was probably the best video i have found on how to set up a pedal board

[@garethnewsam]

dude. I'm 4 years late but this video is sick. Thanks so much !

[@bradleybatt1401]

same lol

[@TheSupart91]

Sameee

[@Sands-32]

holy crap! it's Russell Brand!

[@budm.1450]

I've never used pedals before and I have two that I cannot get any sound from my guitar when hooked up. I have a 750 Looper and a Boss tuner. Can anyone explain how to connect these two pedals together so everything works properly, or perhaps point me to a web page that would show me? Thank you for any help.

[@sid35gb]

Bud M. The boss tuner will mute the signal when switched on using the output socket. As for the looper you’ll need to read the troubleshooting section of the manual for that if you don’t have it you should be able to find a copy online 😉

[@thebrooklyngardenclub225]

Thanks..helpful. I would appreciate seeing u actually plug it all in. especially so I could see how the power supply is rigged to each pedal.

[@marcus19629]

Hi Great video Where would you put a noise cancelling pedal?

[@leonardofogo]

Real life aldous snow!!! Legit!

[@fabricioalonzo8484]

Fogo B LOL, I have always thought the same.

[@geosept]

Can you make a video on how to gain stage the effect on a pedalbord instead of ? There are already plenty of video on KZbin on how to set up a pedalboard . Thanks

[@crystalneth994]

There's hundreds of videos on gain stages too, Daniel TheGigRig does a lot of good stuff

[@mothersmucker]

Yeah e

[@supervincemus]

I live in North America. I enjoy his videos. He’s my go to guy to learn. I hope to have tea with him one day at the NAMM show.

[@wesleyb_92]

I would put the fuzz before the tuner. Especially a boss tuner with buffer, but otherwise fairly solid info

[@onlyusernameleft2]

I counted 5 pedals before the Fuzz Face. Putting just the Boss tuner ahead of it is going to cause problems. Germanium fuzzes are impedance dependent and if they aren't getting signal directly from your guitar's pickups it's not going to sound like it's supposed to. That mistake will take way more than 5 minutes to troubleshoot if you aren't aware of how pedals actually work together in a signal chain.

[@guitareddy100]

Thanks for a great Review you told me all I needed to know especially how to daisy chain cheers👍😎

[@PMTVUK]

Cheers Eddy, make sure you subscribe for more! - kzbin.info

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

I have a Boss BCB-60 can fit six pedal in there, comes with power supply and is hard plastic. If I want more I can always buy another BCB-60. To be honest I think it's great.

[@wicksp335]

That was EXACTLY what I wanted to know and a bit more, thanks mate!

[@jeffkrauss7607]

I have a VERY similar pedal board myself. Is he saying that everything up til my flanger can be ON the amp input, then delay into looper into fx loop?? P.S. I’m trying to use a BOSS DD8 into effects loop on an Orange 35rt

[@goosenoodles37]

where should I put my boost pedal? After the overdrive?

[@gege9709]

Does anyone know what the instrumental is? It's so good! ^^

[@SuperDimeslime333]

Dude, all your vids are great. Hope to catch u sometime in the Cardiff store. Be pretty cool to meet u!

[@jamesgillespy4178]

The best peddle board presentation ever.

[@conorkmartshoppingexperien2739]

i cant get any of the velcro tape to stick to the rubber bit on the back of pedals

[@kaseyrigges2507]

Daren. I love your shows! You are awesome… keep it up please! I got a question as I am a newbie. Is there any advantage to plugging in the delay and reverb into the amp in its own loop? Or is it better to just keep them in series? Thanks

[@MarkTheTruckinBarber]

Thanks for under give mins. Wish there were more people like you on you tube lol

[@gruty3174]

for my bass, i have recently purchased a board with a tuner, sams amp di and a distortions, what order do you think i should have them

[@zacevans1683]

Tuner first, that is a must, then experiment after that and find the sound you like

[@Whitemoon379]

Where would you out a bass eq pedal, after tuner and compressor?

[@dagmerrie]

After tuner and compressor. But you can also try it at the end of the chain. Depends on what youre looking for

[@randysnewbiebluesrockguita7782]

Is there any specific reason to have the Wah in the middle in between other pedal's ?I have mine on the right edge of the board so I don't have other boxes in the way. Just wondering if I should re place it?

[@steakandwhisky4470]

wah is my first pedal too

[@kengur3403]

Hi, Is it ok to use one proper power board and to it add, connect a power brick that will power up three guitar pedals in total? I'm using Katana 50 amp and plan to get something like Boss noise suppressor, Revv G3, and a Korg tuner. Thanks 😁

[@mattmanley7118]

Dagan if I have been given a new voodoo lab X4 power supply do I need a pedal board to use the power supply itself? I only use 3 pedals no more no less so a pedal board seems like a waste of funds.

[@Flyguy29615]

Hello, I watched your video on the essential pedals to have. I have the: Cry Baby Wah, MXR Phase 90, Boss Blues Driver-BD2 and a Boss Distortion DS-1. I purchased a Donner power supply, with 8 nine volt outputs. In what order should I place that line-up of pedals? Thanks for your help!

[@darealzinlord]

In personal experience, I would place the distortion first, then the wah pedal, with the blues driver in third, and the phase finishing it off. But, that is just my opinion. You can experiment with your sound however you see fit to get the sound you want for your playing. Rock on brother 🤘

[@stefanos7724]

in my experience wahs always first, they dont tend to like getting fed distorted sounds. Then I would go for the distortion second and blues driver third (most people put overdrive before distortion but I like it this way). The phase can either go after the wah and before distortion, or after distortions. I prefer putting it before the distortion cause it sounds more like the records I have heard, but either works so you can try them out and see how it all sounds. (So my preferred order would be 1. wah 2.phase 3.distortion 4. drive ). Of course all of this is subjective so just experiment with all the different sounds. I know I'm a year late but hey, why not?

[@sivertSt02]

where would you put an eq pedal?

[@amelyalilyorme1247]

Big stivert depends what you want to do with it. If you’re correcting problem frequencies, put it just after whatever’s causing those frequencies, if you’re just using it to shape a sound, put it wherever sounds best, I’d suggest near the beginning, but that’s personal preference

[@TK2236]

Hi there. Can I use a pedalboard for controlling different functions on my pc? For example using push to talk on discord, playing a sound fx, changing a scene in OBS? Basically using it as a deck board? Cheers and have a nice day ^^

[@cheyn7213]

I dont think it will work with normal pedals but it might work with some special ones but i would just get a stremdeck for your purposes

[@Brad143]

Always confuse about ps6 before or after the Distortion?

[@PMTVUK]

Before. You’ll always want the cleanest signal hitting any kind of octave/harmonist pedal 👍

[@Brad143]

@@PMTVUK ok thanks 🤟

[@marlattmotos]

I just got 4 behringers in the mail (because they're cheap obviously, also have an ibanez ts9 that sounds good) but I can't get all 5 connected and still play...

[@edwinfox1475]

Why are these things so costly? It's really just about 6-8 thin pieces of metal screwed together with some foam/Velcro slapped on top. I've bought a weight bench complete with bar and 60kg of concrete filled weights for cheaper than these. Why not mention the prices in the videos? It's like you want people to go looking elsewhere (eBay, Amazon, Alexi, etc.) just to find the price of these things only to find cheaper. Great video as always but by golly pedals and pedal boards piss me off with their ridiculous prices.

[@CaptainPupu]

Omg wtf? Why do you need 50 pedals? What is the point of getting a distortion pedal if the amplifier already has distortion? Pitch pedal? Jesus, what happened with old school amplifier+ a guitar and play music? Just 1 pedal costs 30$ on Amazon. Imagine getting 10 of those plus the guitar and accessories plus cables etc. Wtf. I only need 1 single pedal that reduces the noise from overdrive that's it.
