[@MRrwmac]

Steve, Of course I’d like to see a demo! Especially the talk tube in action! I wonder if you can smile while using the tube - haha. Thanks for the great build video!

[@SteveCarmichael]

Hey Mac! I haven't tried the talk box yet. I'm just hoping I don't gag on the tube. lol Thanks!

[@finnesteban2313]

I guess I'm kind of randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch new movies online ?

[@mike_minnick]

Demo! Demo! Demo! Also i just want to say you are my favorite KZbinr. You are such a jolly fellow that even seeing your thumbnails makes me smile.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Hi Mike! Thank you very much, I appreciate it! That's good to hear. I already have a job, so this is what I do for fun.

[@LeviClay]

Killer results man! Nothing cooler than someone just making what they need.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Hey Levi! Thanks man! I just joined a band on bass, so of course I'm redoing this for just pedals I need for bass. Pedal boards are never finished. lol

[@brianharris7243]

Steve says "Hi"-I smile and settle in for a good project vid.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Thank you Brian! I appreciate it.

[@FilamentFriday]

I really don’t understand why your channel isn’t bigger (as in subs). You do a great job explaining your projects and woodworking is so popular on KZbin. Keep up the great content!

[@gawentaylor6838]

Best video on this subject I have seen yet, thank you Sir!

[@christofix]

I'm going to show this video to my brother. He has a lot of guitars and pedals and i think he can use a board like this. I know what my next project is going to be LOL! Thanks for another awsome video my friend!

[@SteveCarmichael]

Cool, it's a fun project, especially when all the pedals are set up on it.

[@DavidBishopinc]

Yes Steve. A demo of the pedal board project for sure. 👍🏼👁🤘🏼

[@billb825]

Yeah, SC, let's see and hear it in action.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Ok Bill, but don't forget, you asked for it. lol

[@robertevans6481]

Dude most definitely would like to see you play it...rock on Steve

[@SteveCarmichael]

Cool Robert! Thanks, I'll do a demo soon.

[@jgriff19861947]

Nice work and a happy wood worker

[@jeremy08410]

You’ve gotta do the talk box. Always been my favorite effect.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Hey Jeremy, me too! I tried making one back in the 80s and it kinda worked but not really. I just got that one used, so I need to disinfect the tube...ew...or just get a new one from HD.

[@MRrwmac]

Steve Carmichael Somebody was up late?! Haha

[@SteveCarmichael]

Uh, yes, and I was feeling it today. Can't stay up late like I used to. lol

[@ken1Lane]

Yes would love to see a demo video.

[@BookofIsaiah]

It would be great to see a video of you testing the pedal board out, Steve!!👍

[@SteveCarmichael]

Cool, will do!

[@ryanlaurence569]

Could even take this one step further and wrap it with Tolex. Also, yes, as a guitarist myself i'd love to hear you demo your rig!

[@SteveCarmichael]

That would be neat. I hesitate to spend more money on it because I might change it or outgrow it.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nice work Steve! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@SteveCarmichael]

Thanks Fred!

[@garethsharp4039]

Love your enthusiam! I'd love to see the pedals in action!

[@SteveCarmichael]

Thanks Gareth. Action coming soon.

[@PhilMoseleyMusic]

Awesome pedal board Steve! I love the EHV stripes tool drawers too!

[@thomaskelly1228]

Oh yeah a demo, Maybe with a split screen with you on the drums too. Nice build.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Hmm, that sounds like fun. I used to record all the parts for original songs, but I can't sing. Thanks!

[@dale8809]

Just wondering if this dude is a Van Halen fan haha. The red tool box with white and black strips is on point.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Hey Dale, yes VH is my band. That tool box was my fathers and it was really beat up and I knew I couldn't get it back to a factory finish. So, it was a perfect candidate to look like Eddie's beat up Frankie.

[@dale8809]

@@SteveCarmichael yeah it's pretty sweet. Can't wait to do mine like that. Thank you for the idea. I have a 5150 6L6 amp, evh phasor and evh guitar. I'm not a super fan but EVH makes good gear. The amp has a crap ton of gain!

[@wheezyjefferson9136]

Heck yeah, we wanna see a demo! I'm mostly an acoustic player, but this was a good project. Pedal boards can get pricey.

[@ASliceofWoodWorkshop]

That looks cool

[@SteveCarmichael]

Thanks Tim!

[@reforzar]

Cool stuff. Keep it up Steve!

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Steve's guitar gear demo? Yeah, I'd go for that!

[@SteveCarmichael]

Awesome Jim! Be careful what you ask for...lol

[@Farewelltokingz]

Great Video. I'm taking the easy way by just using a 17 by 9 Inch plywood board. (Slightly bigger than metro 16) And I'll probably just use some black electrical tape on the sides and back or something to make things prettier. I'll then add some velcro and eventually an ISO brick power supply, and I might make a video on it!

[@RaptorMachineToolCo]

Hey Steve, nice job.. those are some serious pedals for a home gamer.. lol and a nice amp as well !! hey, surprised you didnt paint it EVH colors.... thanks !

[@SteveCarmichael]

Well I did consider it, but thought the different color pedals would be enough color. Thanks!

[@jjcollins]

Hi, fantastic job with the board - very well done! I'm a new/recent subscriber, Looks like a great channel to be a part of! As soon as I saw the 5150 striped toolbox, and then saw you pedals, I'm like yep, this guys cool! : ) Btw, definitely do a demo of you playing...looks like you have a really nice guitar rig.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Hi JJ, thank you so much for watching and subscribing. Yeah, I like to do a lot of music related projects. Demo is coming as soon as I can practice a little. I finally got to spend a little more on some good stuff, which I could not do when I was younger. Really enjoying it.

[@19crofty86]

Would love a demo....Also....a cheeky demo of your drum kit would be nice too. What kit do you play? I play a Mapex Armoury with Zildjan cymbals 👍😎

[@SteveCarmichael]

Ooh wow, nice kit! I started gigging with a 7pc Gretsch Catalina Birch with two bass drums. Eventually, I scaled it back to a 4pc Tama Superstar. I have Zildjian A Custom Projection hats and cymbals. My son has taken over my drums with his band so I don't mess with his setup.

[@OspreyMomma]

👍🤚Steve nice build. YES DEMO DEMO thanks for sharing have a great day take care 💕

[@SteveCarmichael]

Cool, I'm going to have to practice before I start the camera on the demo video. lol A lot!

[@tannerhenry150]

I’d love to see you rock out for us!!! Nice video!!

[@SteveCarmichael]

Thanks! Well, since you are twisting my arm, I will do it for you Tanner! :)

[@RandomAudioGuys]

Simple but effective ;) Nice video as always bubba.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Ha ha, good one! Thanks! Looking forward to your new videos.

[@supadeluxe]

Looks good! Demo please!

[@SteveCarmichael]

Thanks Dale! I will shoot a demo this week. Should be funny, since I'm so rusty.

[@thesplinteredfinger]

I thought you were a drummer but if you are going to do a demo on the guitar, I would love to hear it! I am a huge music fan but never have taken a lesson and can’t play anything.

[@stevenkofoed1698]

I want to see a demo of the pedal board

[@SteveCarmichael]

All Right! I didn't know if anyone would be interested. I haven't even used the talk box yet, so that will be an experience.

[@sapelesteve]

Nicely done Steve! Yeah, why not do a demo, that would be cool to see......... :)

[@SteveCarmichael]

Awesome, will do, thanks Steve!

[@BrendaGsDesigns]

WOW! You can play your guitar for me anytime! Thumbs up Steve! xoxo

[@MegaTeddybear04]

Awesome job sir, I for one would like to see a demo of your pedal board skills. LOL

[@SteveCarmichael]

Awesome, I will do a demo soon after some hours of practice.

[@druchumley4571]

Does Eddie know that you have his toolbox? Excellent work there, sir.

[@SteveCarmichael]

I do wonder if he's seen it. Thanks!

[@Sea-Dog5496]

Hi Steve. Great build. I would love to bring my Gibson Les Paul Custom by and jam with you for a couple of hours. It would be great if you could demo each pedal for the sound it puts out. Kick Out The Jams.

[@harryragland7840]

Frampton comes alive! Ahh, the college years. Post Eagles Joe Walsh is good stuff too.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Yep, I love all that stuff. My favorite talk box song is Mindbender.

[@jlarts]

Nice, did you allow a spot for a power supply or are they all powered with a 9v battery?

[@SteveCarmichael]

Hey, the talkbox has its own adapter, and the white EVH flanger is 18v and has its own adapter too. The other pedals are powered by a Godlyke Power-All adapter with 5 leads. I just plug them all into a power strip near a wall outlet. I'm really pleased with the Power-All and it doesn't make any noise and powers the 5 small pedals just fine.

[@meosalami5180]

Steve, man, you don't have to ask because you know what we want ... Give us a demo! 😉

[@SteveCarmichael]

Ha ha, I had no idea so many people would want to see an old drummer try to play guitar. lol

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I always thought you were a drummer so go ahead and show your other stuff, Starving Youngun. And the grass is growing since it hasn't quite melted yet.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Ok, I'll try. It seems people want to see a mediocre guitar player try to play non copyrighted tunes. lol

[@lewiemcneely9143]

@@SteveCarmichael This might REALLY be your 15 minutes of fame!

[@00brandanrich]

DEMO!

[@SteveCarmichael]

YES!

[@chemcody5119]

What? No in line tuner? 😜 Of course we want to hear a demo Steve!

[@SteveCarmichael]

That's on my list. I keep going for the cool sounds over a tuner though.

[@caseyhiggins4981]

Super cool

[@SteveCarmichael]

Thanks!

[@FranklinWoodWorks2016]

So I gather you don't like Van Halen? Demo - YES!

[@SteveCarmichael]

Nah, not sure how I ended up with all this EVH stuff. lol

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

No shredding ?? Come on Steve you know you have to bring it now :-)

[@SteveCarmichael]

Oh I know, maybe I shouldn't have said anything about it. lol Makes me nervous.

[@secondlake]

Lets those bad boys demo for sure

[@SteveCarmichael]

Cool! I will put something together this weekend. I'm a bit rusty though.

[@stevecollins9450]

I'd like to see a demo, Steve.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Cool, thanks Steve.

[@dafud77]

from the Amp and pedal choices, i would say someone is a Van Halen fan :)

[@SteveCarmichael]

Yes, you got it! First saw them on the 1984 tour, then about every year after. Glad I got to see them with DLR.

Steve's Pedal Pushers.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Ha ha, yep!

[@maloryk]

Demo please!!!

[@escapefromtmrw]

Yes please demo your pedals

[@SteveCarmichael]

Ok, cool, will do!

[@AREA-sj4ec]

oh hell yeah lets hear some Eruption...

[@SteveCarmichael]

Ooh, I'd love to but the copyright police would get me. I could play a little something I wrote myself called "Disruption" though. ;)

[@xyzcreate]

@@SteveCarmichael Yes please!!!

[@dr600foottall]

Demo!!

[@SteveCarmichael]

YES! I was hoping people would be into it. Thanks Ryan!

Let's see what you got!!!

[@SteveCarmichael]

Ok, this should be interesting.

[@thadspates4062]

Demo! yes please! Can I make a request? Eruption???????

[@SteveCarmichael]

Ok, will do Thad! I don't think I should play Eruption because of the whole copyright thing, BUT there is nothing stopping me from making up an inspired solo called "Disruption"! lol

[@Exgar77]

Demo!!!!!

[@SteveCarmichael]

Ok, cool, thanks Edgar!!!

[@xyzcreate]

Oh no Steve! You are playing a very dangerous game if you get into collecting guitar pedals..........ask me how I know!

[@SteveCarmichael]

Oh I know. I used to have a lot, then sold all my guitar gear to join a band on drums, which I am much more confident at playing. There are so many more cool pedals now than there was in 1985.

[@giovannipetitti1588]

💯👏

Thanks for sharing Giovanni!

Please demo your pedals

[@SteveCarmichael]

Yes! Will do! Should be fun.

As a Cherokee grad, Sprayberry really doesn’t do it for me 😅😅😅 even though I used to live off of Post Oak Tritt 😝

[@SteveCarmichael]

That's cool, my Carmichael family goes back 6 generations in Cherokee county so lots of them have gone to Cherokee. Carmichael Crossroads at Union Hill Rd and E Cherokee in Hickory Flat is where my great great grandfathers farm was. There is an Avery school there now. My grandfather went to the original Avery school in early 1900s. So much history there. Nice telecaster in your pic!

@@SteveCarmichael , that’s my hand made. From the lumber yard to my work bench. My daughter went to Sprayberry for one year then we moved. Now we live the good life in Flarda.

[@summerswoodworking]

When you was describing your peddles I wish you would have spoke English. I didn’t understand a word you said except reverb ... 😂 😆 😝 Yeah I would like a demo on those.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Ha ha! Yeah Brian, I was wondering what that would sound like to a non-guitar player. I plan to explain it all in the demo video. Maybe you'll want some pedals after I'm done. :)
