Mini Tone City Pedalboard For Under £200 & Giant Pick Challenge

[@jim.missywyant.kennedy2334]

This world would be quite a bit less entertaining if Rob hadn't decided to do this "KZbin" thing. Thanks for continuing to bring awesomeness to this world and inspiring is all to do our thing. Peace!

[@Nj1498]

Giant plectrum at 15:30.

[@RickyYoungSongs]

Is it just me or does that strat look massive on Dave?

[@Zz0ne]

Ricky Young yeah... Wtf

[@FlesHBoX]

I was just noticing that and came down here to see if anyone else thought so... It reminds me of when I went to a concert and the little maybe 5 foot tall chick playing guitar was playing a huge 335, and it made her look like a child holding it, lol.

[@station2station544]

I thought the same thing but its camera distortion. Look how slim and tiny the maple neck looks at 13:46. It's just camera BS.

[@RickyYoungSongs]

Station 2Station True, definitely confused me at first though

[@RobChappers]

Dave is huge... in ability

[@rattusphere8699]

"You can't put batteries in the King Of Blues..." That sounds quite profound, in some strange sense.

[@andrewbailey7999]

This really shows off other sides of Rob's guitar playing! I like it!

[@stanislavmigra]

I was whole time expecting Dave to play Purple Haze, that cords just have that crazy Jimi's vibe ...

[@sjlacey65]

Dave has to be the the bassist with the most bad-ass guitar chops

[@patriciomontemayor4802]

Dave: “Do you have a strat?” Rob:”I don’t know m8 maybe” -pulls out a strat worth more than my house...

[@drutgat2]

Thank you for this. I really enjoyed seeing and hearing Dave - hope we can expect more of his presence, at least occasionally - and found the pedal board interesting.

[@JoshuaLTRyan]

I love the Rob and Dave videos.

[@johngraydon506]

Agree with travel stuff Chappers !

[@johngraydon506]

Can you use a tape machine on electro accoustic .

[@elonmush4793]

Dave.

[@edwardjons8684]

Nicely done Dave and Rob - and you gave a heads-up to the local scrotes wanting to nick a vanload of guitars too!

[@WilliamPayneNZ]

I must be honest that while I watch your videos I have never actually listened to your band. But you guys all seem to be such neat every day kind of people that if your tours ever end up in New Zealand I will definitely have to get to a show.

[@eliotjones4107]

Dave's playing is ace for demos, wonderfully informative and top tones 👍

[@Vypyr00]

Dang, I want more Dave on a six string! He's great!

[@RobChappers]

Caleb Chaffins You should hear him on the drums...

[@seanconnors654]

I can't wait for the new Dorje record!

[@ChrisArmstrong1310]

I’d love to see more Dave playing Bass Vids.

[@OlFoolish]

What country do you live in? Texas.

[@thenotsoguitarguy9429]

Lucas Valdez - anyone I've ever know from Texas will happily tell you Texas is its own country.

[@scrpin9445]

The NotSoGuitarGuy same

[@scrpin9445]

Lucas Valdez I moved from California to Texas and Jesus Christ Texans know nothing about the rest of the world

[@nathanmallen]

Texas is larger than most central European countries

[@CurrieNerd]

..but not much else..?

[@Irraanos]

The cool thing with this board is you can switch out the King of Blues for some other drive/distortion without changing anything else, and it'd be just as good for some other genre.

[@thehound2161]

Have at it with that pick and i just laughed at the idea of the guitar just falling apart. Good stuff guys.

[@olavjorvik94]

Please keep us updated on the three pedalboards you're building Rob! Really enjoy those videos! :D Cheers

[@haf816r]

I'm such a GIANT Rob Chapman fan I NEED a GIANT plectrum signed by Rob Chapman! Greetings from Michigan, US!

[@sliberty]

Great sounding board. Tone City pedals are a great value, and sound really good. The only thing I would change is the power supply - I prefer using a Volto type battery supply with a GigRig Isolator (if isolation is needed, GigRig Distributor if isolation is not needed). I don't actually use the Volto though - I use a mobile phone power bank (lower cost and higher capacity) with a 5v to 9v voltage converter box. It all fits under my PedalTrain Nano or Nano Plus, and it eliminates the AC cable when you are setting up and breaking down. Very convenient. If you use guitar wireless, its even better :-) Rob, if you ever want to try this, I would send you one of my voltage converters (I assemble them from inexpensive parts). Works great.

[@maxmustermann-hf7vw]

7:15 absolutly... best.....part....ever

[@1ktbell]

What are those Iron Maiden things on the left shelf Rob? Special edition CD's or something?

[@anraj_plahe]

Zaffre, how I’d love to own one like it, if I had the money P.S: Didn’t realise how good Dave is at guitar, real all rounder

[@Andrath]

Slap a few mooer preamps on there and you got a gig-ready rig for on the go. You only need either a separate external power amp or plug it into the return of the fx loop of any bigger amp.

[@Beschdinator]

i love how the strat almost matches daves outfit, it was made for him

[@ricksmith7370]

I love all your guitars Rob. I’m now trying to decide which one I’m going to buy.

[@canofuunaa9563]

ML3 Pro all the way.

[@Judgeh123]

In this video we learn that Rob can't tell the difference between a state and a country, neither Rob nor Dave can count and the tone city pedals can produce a decent sound when you plug an expensive guitar into them.

[@alex_the.mallett]

Ben Da_Judge Smith To be fair, Texas is bigger than some countries

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Alex Mallett There has been talk of secession, so...?

[@Stangil1]

Circa has to do with a date, eg 1962 AD.

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Stangil1 'Circa' means you're making an approximation, has nothing to do specifically with dates...

[@overdrivemejimmy6847]

That king of blues pedal was way to noisy for me way to much buzz in the background, all the other sounded fine to me ^^

[@joeysephy]

Jimmy Jonsson Probably due to the compressor? If it's still on then they do tend to boost the background noise quite a bit.

[@ReegusReever]

Haven't watched a recent Chapman video in a while. You're looking/sounding well!

[@thevoxofreason8468]

Rob, first I love "cheap" pedals. Second, I really dig the work you've had done on your arms. I have both of my upper arms covered in artwork and have known many others over the years who have as well, but the art you have appears quite unique. It's interesting. Nice. Can I ask what it all is?

[@jamesdalton7850]

Hi rob. Love your work. Massive fan from down under. Bad news though. I doubt you’ve heard but Phil Emmanuel passed away last night (24th May) and it’d mean a lot to the music community here if you could do a video in his honour, particularly in Australia. I was his live sound engineer for the last couple of years and I’d love to see something with your flavour uploaded. I showed him a bunch of your videos and he was very impressed with what he saw.

[@pistolgoo]

Could you make another video like this with Dave ? Maybe a hard rock pedal board for under £200.

[@RobChappers]

pistol goo Yeah sure man, not a bad idea :-)

[@Jim71]

The Tone City pedals are pretty good but something less than the custom shop strat was in order for this demo

[@simonwilliams9916]

Hi Rob, so what do you do with your guitars! Do they go in the hold or as hand Luggage? Great vids 🤘🏻👍🎸🤘🏻👍🎸

[@nsrfreak]

Dave your hair is looking great!

[@charliefoxtrotthe3rd335]

I love it except the small pedals don't allow for a battery. Lose that power supply and use external batteries or battery pedal and you could shrink that down even more. But then you got batteries to deal with. Always a trade off, no perfect solution. But this sounds great. Hotone pedals FTW anyone?

[@docgspot]

that one bit of music sounded like a part from the invaders tv show :-)

[@irrsinnrainer]

"Chappers and Dave" needs to become a regular thing ;)

[@BorkBorkDoggo]

Is that some Yngwie you were going for at 16:43 ? I can never pick up a strat without playing a bit of Yngwie.

[@Xenious]

For sure Texas is its own country! :)

[@iantbird]

Good video any tips on flying with your guitar.

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

'My mate, Dave!' - Ali G

[@christisgod3354]

That is the 2nd largest pick I have ever seen!

[@alexisalescio1562]

These pedals sound very well

[@alexcurling6958]

Great video love tone city!

[@BeardedBikerMT]

Hope to bump into you in Malta :)

[@FLORIDAERO]

Hey, carry on pedal board isn't an issue thru security ?

[@bastianbrandsma2490]

Hi Rob, huge fan! I just bought a lime 6 helix lt. And I saw a video of you using a regular one a while aho, just wondering if you advise two studio speakers, or a simple guitar amp, like the boss katana. Would be awesome if you could give some advise, I can't find anything on the internet about it.

[@stevenhow2632]

Hey rob glad to see you back!

[@AQArchMageA4S]

I just bought twenty Chapman guitars and a hybrid Toyota Auris.

[@4x4conqueror]

I haven't seen you used or demo'd a Dallas Rangemaster, do you own one, a cone maybe or have used one in the past?

[@jacobhodkinson4630]

Great video like always love your channel

[@karangurung1139]

I love these challenges videos.. 😎 🇳🇵

[@chain872005]

Nice to see a youngling upgrade to a full size.

[@Travis-pf3gt]

The giant pick LOL. Well you should be able to find it when you drop it at least.

[@zoom3232]

Arround 4:40 Solar Guitar. Tell us more Mr Chappers:)

[@JimmyTwoShoes94]

That strat is fucking gorgeous

[@EzyoMusic]

7:28 I swear I've heard that in an ad and I"m gonna facepalm when I figure out where I heard it.

[@CJLaw945]

I love how rob thinks the United States is full of separate country’s 😂

[@jonathanrodriguez5584]

Hey Rob what amp where you using!?

[@The1stMrJohn]

I dint recognise Dave until he spoke!

[@WaylonMorley]

I'm still used to Dave's dreads... lol

[@jamesortiz5388]

Where do I get the giant pick?

[@haf816r]

James Ortiz tight?! I need one too!

[@grahamcox5220]

Dave looks so tiny, the guitar looks massive on him so it was almost like you just passed him a normal sized pick

[@jeffreyallison771]

Did you consider the Keeley Tone and Delay Workstations?

[@MykeD913]

Is it just me or does that Strat look HUGE!!

[@daicon2k6]

Even if Minnesota had been this year, it's in the same country as Texas, Rob.

[@daicon2k6]

And if someone did that you'd be right to correct them.

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

So you're building a... Blues Traveller...?😂😂😂

[@ryansmloh3400]

Whatever happened at 10m 45s and onwards, can we please have some sort of tab for it so I can blues it up :)

[@TheRealZookness]

Will it Blues Traveler pedalboard challenge!

[@ustinkdave3405]

what were you doing in Singapore Mr Chapman?

[@stanislavmigra]

Rob! How could you forget about Zaphre?

[@dartin9145]

Rob in which part in Malta are you going to be.

[@johninama585]

You should do a storage clearance auction of your guitars. Maybe for charity?

[@scarfacedpr]

Hmm.. Wonder what Dave said at 14:48 since it was censored. JK probably size. Fill in the blank: "It's like the ________ of my head"

[@tomlewis3342]

So, this board is a Blues... Traveler.

[@tuckerloral2034]

I’m debating wether I should buy a PRS SE or a Cap-10 America

[@pistolgoo]

Tucker Loral go CAP10 out of the two. I feel prs se are made to a slightly lesser quality on purpose to remind you that there is a better one for triple the price. The CAP10 is a great guitar I played the old one with Duncans in Andertons. Prs are also pretty boring imo so you'd have a more unique guitar if u went with the CAP10.

[@MS-hj3ox]

Both made in the same factory. I recommend PRS SE, but make sure u don’t get one with a “wide-thin” neck

[@salmonline]

What's the opposite of "expounding"?

[@alex_the.mallett]

When will the Rob Chapman Band be on iTunes??

[@RobChappers]

Alex Mallett July :-)

Just the eight countries, including New York, California, etc...

[@mikesmithg0rfd356]

can we have more dave bass action please..

[@geecen]

If you like giant picks you should get hold a shamisen

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

Does Dave have a history or guitar playing? Guy’s got chops

[@fourkray4825]

D A V E

[@rollinas1]

Where do you play in Malta??

[@AntonisKoumpari]

where can i buy tonecity pedals in europe?

[@patrickjaroch5084]

carolina blues

[@danoeb-g418]

Will it blues traveller?

[@timfletch]

Chappers is so mean, keeps telling Dave hes got a "Bad Rock Tone" !!!

[@gamerlegacy]

It's official Rob, you have too many guitars. I'm currently accepting donations.

[@bermudezk12345]

I saw that solar hiding in there...

[@marcionobrega5117]

Vocês já conhecem o Brasil?

[@kennynordieker5653]

What kinda pickups are in that strat?

So, not under £200, then. Comp Engine £39.99 King of Blues £69.99 Tape Machine £49.99 Tiny Spring £49.99 £209.96, then there's the board (£42.99), patch cables (call it a score) and if you want one, a Fuel Tank £91.00. Or just scraping under the £200 mark at £363.95. Thankfully, your counting is done with music, not as my bookkeeper. Keep up the good work. Dave.

[@alansturgess1324]

two or three hundred guitars. I bet he shreds on them all and sounds the bloody same.

[@Rafael-oo8wh]

When you're tired of losing picks.....

[@sandramaher5579]

anybody know whos signature that guitar is its beautimus

[@CoolspyGaming]

When I saw this video in the subscriptions tab it ended with "& Pick...". I was expecting a huge picknick but this wasn't the case. :(
