My ULTIMATE PEDALBOARD (it blew my mind 🤯)

[@ThatPedalShow]

Hey mate, Dan here. What an incredible moment to hear you play through that rig, you truly sound incredible mate. I’m SO happy we were finally able to get it done, it’s been a genuine honour 🤓🙏

[@pantera6]

yes dan!!!

[@jeramym9506]

Loved the video you put together too, Dan. Great work!

[@collinsmith6565]

[@justinguitarcia]

Dan’s work is really the best

[@sergedenovo2389]

The money made it worthwhile though didn't? ;)

[@RobertNolan]

From Hendrix, to Gilmore, to Frusciante, to Johnston and quite literally everywhere in between, this board looks like it can do it all. Bravo.

[@docwill184]

We know you didn't mean it this way but that board is a nightmare if the player doesn't know what he's doing, esp. 'sitting in that mix'

[@hesch-tag]

@@docwill184 Yes, it would be so lost on me.

[@KarstenJohansson]

I can't get over those sexy "parallel" pads he can make. It would take me SOOO long to set this thing up haha. Thankfully it has a *lot* of presets because it's a job that probably never quite gets finished. Even in this vid Paul was fiddling with the pedals that were already being controlled by MIDI. 🤣

[@RobertNolan]

@@docwill184 yeah. don't design a board like this if you're not going to attempt to figure it out.

[@rishirv2325]

Hiding a Centaur pedal instead of showing it at the forefront is probably the most subtle flex Paul has done recently. Anyway, can't wait to hear you create art with this setup!!!!

[@celestxl835]

Who knows maybe it’s the rip off one and he’s hiding it so we don’t notice :)

[@beaumowery5610]

Keeping it covered keeps it in better condition

[@Madshadowgolem]

99% less likely to get stolen too.

[@PendelSteven]

It's practical though: it's a large pedal that takes up a lot of space. So rather hide it. Makes sense to me and I'm also Dutch? I mean, I am Dutch, but well you get what I mean, right?

[@njsteere]

I was like “where’s all the dirt OH SHII”

This is a very high calibre KZbin collaboration. Amazing stuff and thanks to you both for the inspiration.

A minute and a half into the video and I’ve nearly forgotten about learning about the rig....just literally blown away with your playing. Simply beautiful - hope we get to hear more!

[@metroecco7908]

The fact that that pedal show doesn’t have at least a million subs is crazy been watching them for a while now and they just don’t talk about pedals. That channel is amazing

[@Zool2107]

If you like blues and/or dad-rock then yeah, they're good. Otherwise, they're just annoying gear snobs...

[@PureJadeKid]

Some think they are snobs and they are up front about their opinions, not all of which anyone must agree with, but they are very open to teaching and sharing knowledge, and they have a lot of knowledge to share. And they are funny, and poke fun at themselves all the time, etc. They know their limitations which is why they invite guests on to rock the high gain stuff, etc.

[@Chadderbox]

"Image a pedalboard so versatile the only limitation is your imagination" Nope, the limitation is certainly me.

I play a little bit of guitar and i dont have a clue how to properly use a pedal board. What i do know is that i can listen to you playing with the different sounds forever. It sounds so awesome!

[@EvanBouche]

There are so many pedals on here I've dreamed of using for years. Its so cool to see someone collectively praising their masterful design

[@NullFragment]

For those who keep asking about the prices: Analog Man - King of Tone (retail price): $265 Chase Bliss Audio - Blooper: $500 Chase Bliss Audio - CXM 1978: $900 Chase Bliss Audio - Midi Box (control ports): $60 Chase Bliss Audio - Mood: $349 Chase Bliss Audio - Preamp MKII: $750 Cornerstone - Gladio: $400 Hologram Electronics - Microcosm: $450 Klon - Centaur: $5000 Mission Engineering - EP-1: $140 Mythos - Golden Fleece: $140 Schmidt Array - SA750XDM_wx: $915 Source Audio - Collider: $350 Strymon - Mobius: $450 Strymon - Volante: $400 The Gig Rig - G3: $1200 The Gig Rig - Power (Base Pack 2 + 9x Timelord +2x Isolator): $1135 --------- Total: ~$13,400 excluding taxes/shipping/etc. Obviously the Klon and King of Tone are the biggest variables here because of the KOT waitlist and the Klon's insane price that could've been more than double the cost of the whole board. Only Paul knows that. Edit: Found the board price.

thanks! i might share also my pedals/prices here for comparison: . - boss ds1: €45 from a small store in dublin. - no brand chorus: €20 from some guy in porto. - fab distortion: €23 used, found on internet. - zoom 505: €45 shipping included from a seller on reverb from japan. - cuvave fuzz: +-€20 from a chinese ebay seller. - tremolo no brand: €0 built and gifted by a friend. . ...not to mention the board itself: the floor. . i do admit that this is not as sofisticated as the set up from the youtuber above, but it suits perfectly the needs of some musicians.

Dan is a genius, sounds incredible. The dent in the lid is quite upsetting though ha.

Happend when shipping :) Schmidt Array reached out and offered to replace it, they where really great. In the end I didn't feel the need to swap it, since I'm more interested in what happens when the lid comes off.

[@billsstudio2528]

Very interesting board. I love the pursuit of making these pedalboards! Just finished my umpteenth one! Not as killuh as Dan's iteration here, but actually it came out pretty good. I've learned a few things this time around. 1. Most (90%) of 'programmable OD pedals suck' ....there is a reason analog old school OD's are still popular 2. I like the totally auto, push one button and your whole tone comes up, but usually knob tweaking is more musical 3. stereo does sound cool, especially real amps 4. ability to go mono is important also, as wall of sound with washed out drop D shit gets old 5. If you have one or two (stereo) really good tube amps, it is hard to get a crappy tone....reverse this for digital. 6. Midi programming can be addicive. I love the new Morningstar MC6PRO. Midi automation with an analog mix (real amps and regualr OD's) is my fav setup so far. Lastly, excellent video and again, pedalbuild by Dan.

[@mgbaron]

I made a board like this a year ago... schmidt array, midi switcher, custom cabling... the whole deal. I ended up breaking it down 6 months later. There were a number of things I didn't end up liking about it: 1. I'm too much of a pedal swapper. I like to try new things and this format was too rigid. 2. It was insanely heavy which limited my use. 3. It was too complicated. I found myself spending too much time tweaking the board and not playing. 4. I like to play different guitars and amps and I find it hard to get presets that work with all of them. Now I use an acclam board which allows for easy swapping. I try not too have too many on it at once.

[@Techo1329]

I understand that perspective completely. As cool as Paul's setup is I'd be forever fidgeting with it. I'm 12 months into a small board built around a GT-1000 Core and I'm still constantly tweaking. Endless possibilities can be difficult to manage.

[@JambonDeluxe]

Dan needs to come over and realign those crooked pedals!

[@GrahamBellMusician]

Fantastic! So great to be able to do everything on the fly, leaving the most room for creativity! Switchers and midi are such an amazing revelation. You should also try hooking it up to your computer and start sending midi messages with the gigrig to Ableton for looping! The ultimate handsfree looping device! Syncing tap tempos, trigging loops, recording, expression pedal to control filters/faders/tempos... like you said, only your imagination is the limit. Takes a little setting up, but it's worth it! Plus you can always keep that on a separate bank, leaving the triggering and recording buttons separate to all your effects. Anyway, congrats - sounds like so much fun!

[@TonGregorio]

Congrats on the amazing board! great collab with Dan of That Pedal Show! Nice use of the expression pedal as a wah with the automatone preamp mkii! Genius! 🤘🏽😎
