Radiohead's Ed O'Brien - Second Pedalboard Build, That Pedal Show Special

[@lostcosmonautcreative8469]

"Yeah..." - Ed O'Brien

[@TheDaddyO44]

+Brandon Hackler lol!

[@kida4313]

Ok.

[@JimboDoomface]

I always thought he was singing "Eeeeeedd"

[@diegocontreras9332]

Out of joke I down to the comments really waiting for someone to post that, kjsksdkskd thank u c:

[@TheKiteMachineBand]

haha! He played a Radiohead riff in front of Ed. What a man.

[@jvdasz]

+TheKiteMachineBand which one is that? cheers

[@TheKiteMachineBand]

A tiny bit of The Bends at 18:10 haha, almost like he started then went "Oh shit, what have I done?" haha

[@AI3JeWelz]

+TheKiteMachineBand what pedal was he on there btw? loved that distortion tone

[@MindfulProgramming]

probably the Archer and the Custom Overlord, which are the two overdrives on Ed's board

[@gpeddino]

Ed's reaction when you played a bit of The Bends was so nice. He's a gentleman.

[@astroandyborgloh]

He s a legend. Thanks so much, that there is Radiohead.

[@white_chicken]

Yeah!

[@tippydripbumskeetr1745]

i cant believe how generous dan is with sharing this knowledge .... 20 yrs ago anything like this would be considered as top secret ...

[@intrsoul]

I've been watching The Pedal Show for a while now - great on its own merit - but discovering that you actually build 'boards for the pros (and my heroes) makes you a DEMIGOD. cheers

[@matthewedwards1089]

I have pretty much understood about 5% of what has been said. However, my eyes and mind are spinning at the sheer passion and enthusiasm Dan has. I've just sacked-off my next car and will instead be stashing cash for a fully loaded G2 made in house.

[@Tree_Strings]

+Matthew Edwards me too !

[@chunkystylemusic]

17:04 "There'll be plenty of that kind of riffing..." Priceless!

[@cabbycabby1770]

I could watch people fiddle with pedals and rigs all day. It's truly it's own hobby and art form. Great job, Dan!

[@BangoBean]

Damn straight he's a legend, and not a snooty one at that...

[@astroandyborgloh]

Ed is such an intelligent person, and such a great musician. It is so amazing!

[@tomquayleguitar]

You're a genius mate! I'm saving up as we speak! ;-)

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Ah, cheers Tom. Will be wonderful having you onboard :)

[@Iansdaboss]

onBOARD ;)

[@gitaarlessenamersfoort920]

+Daniel TheGigRig +Tom Quayle Would love to see that video :D

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Sounds like some pretty fast saving. Dollar count rising by the minute ...

[@SohamBhattacharya3105]

Ed O' Brian uses Mooer pedals. Now where are those guys who refuse to buy "Chinese made crap"?

[@stupidlogic2987]

They're all over in the good 'ole US of A.

[@Harvest_Neil_Young_tribute]

You have the best job in the world!!

[@TheParanoidAndroid79]

As a huge Radiohead fan (what's in a handle?), I have to say that I'm jealous... that Ed got to meet Daniel.

[@CardinalPhonics]

This video is why I bought the SDD-3000 and I couldn't be happier

[@indiansummer6324]

Same here, amazing pedal

[@CardinalPhonics]

Square wave pitch shifting a fifth up + modal riffs = Radiohead-worship band in like three seconds flat

[@alexcampion2461]

i don't exist without radiohead. i try to resist saying it so i can remain to appear cool and detached-but it's a total lie: without them, i'd float off into the stratosphere and be lost forever.

[@DelScully]

not the telesphere?

[@andrewtucker94]

this comment was like radiohead pretentious but quality

[@ripplebear]

With them, I float off into the stratosphere, I'd be lost if I was stranded on earth :) but I hear ya!

[@brianpatrick6102]

Ed is one lucky fellow. Any chance of making an in depth vid on ground loops (lift), phase issues and ISO boxes? Still havent found a resource that really explains this stuff well. Cool Gracie shirt, btw.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

+brian patrick cheers Brian, yes, I'll get it sorted ;)

[@Robstafarian]

+Daniel TheGigRig Are you a Jiu-Jitsu player?

[@influxxmedia]

brian patrick yeah same here. Did it ever get made?

[@mantashaft]

Finally had a chance to watch this installment. Such a treat to see an expert at work. That was truly fun.

[@ZenDriveSeven]

Ed sure seems like a super nice guy. So humble.

[@josuecintron7230]

Dan, you are the best of the best, Bob Bradshaw is good, but you are definitely BETTER !!! SINCE I AM HANDICAP AND CAN'T USE A BIG BOARD I WOULD LOVE TO BUILD A BOARD WITH LIKE 6 TO 8 MICRO PEDALS AND USE THE GIG RIG2 FOR COMBINATIONS OF ALL SORT. I WILL BE SAVING. I LOVE YOUR PRODUCTS, I LOVE TO SEE YOU AND MICK AND I LOVE HOW HUMBLE YOU ARE. GOD BLESS YOU, MICK AND YOUR FAMILIES ALWAYS. CHEERS MATE !!!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

+Josue Cintron ah, cheers J, but I'm not better the Bob, the guy is a legend and has been an inspiration for me. I love what he and Pete Cornish have done for guitar players. I think what I do is very different than those guys. I'm honoured to be mentioned in the same sentence as Bob though :)

[@oansun]

It's been almost 4 years so time for a third

[@supermusicgood]

badabing badaboom

[@oansun]

Lol, totally forgot about this. My skillz tho

[@metfed100]

So freaking cool, man! I love Radiohead and it's really cool to see how Ed's board gets assembled.. One day i'm getting you to set up a board for me. just have to get loads of money/more pedals and i'm on my way. ;)

[@DillonPadgette]

Next time, please let Ed play. Yea.

[@christianc9409]

Dillon Padgette yeah

[@firesinheaven]

Yeah

[@VarsityAthlete04]

Yeah

[@pablosalaices4459]

Yeah

[@PetrisonRocha]

I'm Brazilian, a pedal junkie and Radiohead is my favorite band. An EOB pedalboard video made by someone wearing a BJJ t-shirt is just too much.

[@rodolfolarrea8493]

remarcable video ... thank you again ... you are really an artist in the sound creation arena

[@GermanGallardoMusic]

Fantastic work Daniel TheGigRig , congratulations!

[@DelScully]

Ed is so down to earth its nuts.. You almost forget hes a living legend haha.

[@heliobluesrock]

Marvelous job and t-shirt, Daniel TheGigRig!!!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Cheers Helio. Oss!

[@watashiwanachodes]

Dan is amazing, Ed is amazing, Ed is nothing but Yeah yeah yeah yeah... and praises

[@tomigunn777]

Wow, this is a lot!

[@SamuelOceanMusic]

Inspiring as usual! Thanks for sharing this, Daniel TheGigRig! Cheers.

[@decmccallion]

Laughing aloud to myself, how cool was that...?! 'Here ya go Ed, I've just resurrected your tone from, The Bends, in case you were looking for it! There it is!!', I want to swear to emphasise how great this is but I won't...Oh go on then, Dan, once more, F@@king amazing job!! Me thinks I'm off to play the Euromillions!!;-)

[@jamesgrobertson8024]

Good work on that dude.

[@ehambright]

Addicted to your channel well done

[@todoroki]

I was expecting an "Holey Moley" or two from Ed but sadly it didn't materialise this time!

[@EddieHazel74]

+todoroki "oh its fantastic" "inspiriring" lol

[@kamchuenso7836]

Flatboard looks much beautiful

[@billyblunt63]

That custom shop tele is so sweet

[@mikeymislan-polilla3470]

You should do an update to see how this is being used on their live tour

[@JuddLofthouse]

Now that is impressive...great post

[@ethanhawk32]

You are such a boss for going through all of this. I can't wait to get into the gig rig gear down the road when finances agree :'(

[@diogobatista6844]

Great Job and great t-shirt!

[@makeahalo]

Such an amazing video! :)

[@hamburgerdan101]

I’ve never played with a pedal and only own an acoustic what am I doing here and why did I watch the whole video

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

To gain inspiration

[@lovecraftmusic8717]

You're getting g.a.s.

[@iexclipsei]

Same lmao

[@liam_fulton]

Wasn't expecting Ed to suddenly show up in this ahahah

[@TheInternetIsDeadToMe]

Love Ed. What a dude.

[@jsalmons84]

Sick build and genius gear. Zip ties though! :) Your product is so well thought out its scary. Cheers.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

+justin salmons thanks Justin. The zip ties do work really well ;)

[@jsalmons84]

+Daniel TheGigRig This reminded me to get more! I have 2 builds this week.

[@gnerd99]

Love this channel-very informative and Dan'z guitar face is priceless. Any chance you could do a vid on how to set up pedalboard power supplies. Issues with different types of pedals in terms of power supply, noise etc, batteries vs. mains etc?

[@lukeskywalk9773]

Awesome!

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

You have the most relaxing voice.

[@psklpt8412]

Yeah ! Daniel What is that red Vox ?! (great vid by the way !! )

[@yohannleicht7455]

yeah

[@Strabbs12345]

Is that a mooer electric lady I see under the shelf? Top pedal!

[@Eliguitar1]

sick! well done.

[@ilCapotasto]

Something's different. No Friedman in the background Dan! That hurt!

[@thedarkestmidnightindecemb77]

"those diamond geysers" favourite part of the video

[@EtcEtcAndEtc]

he obviously hates it

[@syrup-]

Oh, does he?

[@diegosaavedra3267]

Ed it's like "yeah"

[@TonyHawkTuah]

Yeah !

[@jackpops3613]

EHX. The man's got taste!

[@helmutschwab9979]

Wow! Incredible board, incredible gear.. for a incredible musician, made from a pedalboard/gear genius... I saw the first Video too and it blows my mind every time I watched it. Keep on doing that awesome stuff. Peace and Love from Vienna Ps.: whats the name of the Flanger? Sounded fantastic!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Helmut Schwab Ah, thanks so much. Thats the Electric Lady from Mooer. Very nice little pedal ;)

[@N-Coherent2]

Interesting that he replaced the Klon from the previous board construction with the Archer.

[@grantdyble3472]

Makes a lot of sense when you're putting together a touring rig and trying to be economical with space. Probably a big part of the reason he's using the e-lady as well.

[@stuartnarduzzo4868]

Would LOVE to just hang with you, talk gear and set up my board like this... too bad you aren't in Canada. I think a G2 will be in my future at some point.

[@ajleslie2]

What are the effects when you turn all 3 amps on? Maybe the best thing I’ve heard in my life. Would love to mimic it.

[@DelScully]

one day I am going to get a pedal board made by this modern day Einstein for pedalboards.

[@NNJ007]

FINALLY!

[@mariodriessen9740]

I'd kill for someone like you to build my board. I have the pedals and I know what I want with it, but I'm so f***ing clumsy. And there's more. One of the very best pedals I have is something that's very much like the Z-Vex Super Hard On with a couple of extra little things. Ever since I got it it's been on my board, it never came off and it always stays on because it cleans up every little bit of hum. I can use 15 different pedals on my board and without the SHO it'll sound like I switch on a vacuum cleaner. However, with the SHO switched ON, no matter howmany pedals I use, it'll sound like there's nothing in between my guitar and my amp. So you can understand why I am so glad with that 'Z-Vex'. It's the 'HOLY GRAIL' and it's MINE!!!!!! But now, since a couple of weeks ......, well I built a small pedal board for small venues. It's got like 8 small (you know these really small pedals nowadays), but really great sounding pedals on that board and the SHO is one of them and IT HUMS AND BUZZES LIKE HELL!!! And the worst part of this all is the fact that it's the SHO that causes it!!!! My favourite pedal, the secret of my great sound, is now the biggest pain in the ass!!! I'm broke, so this hurts. This hurts so much! :-(

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

+Mario Driessen have you changed how you power it? It's very sensitive to the way it's powered

[@joescott7500]

what to do if you want to use reverb. delay etc without an effects loop? Ive got a Blackstar Artisan and has two seperate channels similar to a vox AC30 and was going to use a ABY box to put my effects in one channel and the distortion in the other. Would this be a better way to do this than putting them straight into the front of the same channel. thanks Joe +Daniel TheGigRig

[@joshfowler8360]

nice martial arts shirt. if it wasnt for my pedal addiction i would never play my guitar it keeps me interested and keeps my hands on my guitar tps rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MarceloDurham]

Nice t-shirt! :) Brasil loves your videos ... hehe.. From Rio de Janeiro - Marcelo Durham

[@JonathanLabusch]

Duuuuuude that shirt. Awesome

[@THINCOVER]

Need a few more pedals before I think about the g2. I was looking at the quarter, that looks more like me for the moment.

[@theeng7]

is the quarter basically the same thing, with true isolation, and phase issues etc? I have the same issue - i run an eleven rack for most of my tones and really only have a few key pedals I use any more for OD and specialty stuff

[@white_chicken]

-YeahYeahYeah - Ed O'Brien =)

[@elijahs4785]

Do Jonny's rig next

[@mikeprice25]

Was that bit near the end your attempt at something like the Bends without trying to do the Bends? Great video and can't wait to see your one on the grounding that you mentioned below.

[@SevenTool07]

Really awesome video, but let Ed play the guitar and try his pedals, I mean, as a seller, you want to make the customer happy, so letting him play and showing him all the possibilities while he is doing it would let him even happier... just my opinion. As always, great video and great pedalboard!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Hi Diego. Ed didn't want to play, he just wanted to be taken through the board. Cheers

[@achodesign]

Awesome video and so inspiring! And I have a question: Did you power the SDD 3000 through an Isolator or Distributor? I have a small rig, (Tuner > Dist > Dist > SDD3000 > Blue Sky) and I have this high currency output issues. So I'm considering of buying a Generator, but I don't know if I need an Isolator or a Distributor. Thank you and looking forward to Ed's third pedalboard :)

[@kengibbens5059]

minus the pedals, what does a build like that generally cost?

[@WeepyProphet]

Hella

[@MagicPants647]

+Ken Gibbens lol 8k

[@MagicPants647]

lol whoops i miss read the post

[@justingarcia7722]

Ken Gibbens I imagine it's pretty complicated. A while back I contacted a builder in the states out of curiosity, and this was for a small build, his estimate was around 1200 - and that was accomplishing a small fraction of capability demonstrated here. It seems like a lot but one has to consider all the nuances: at the most basic level you are paying for cables, power (crucial, Dan has exact custom individual power to each pedal so each pedal will sound its absolute best), a true bypass loop system (id imagine this is the attraction most players have in the first place) - essentially means when a pedal, or combo of pedals, is on they are looped direct so you are always getting the highest fidelity of guitar/pedal/amp tone...this isn't easily accomplished at a professional level, so that'll cost you. Additionally, the gigrig can switch order or pedals without touching them, it works as a ABC box, it has buffers, phase switching, literally everything and anything you could want so whatever dream rig you want can be achieved. With that said, time/labor factored, its prob expensive but alas, this kind of system really isn't for someone using a handful of pedals or not needing to catalogue decades of tones and materials. I think Dan also offers a smaller more pedestrian loop system. With that said, this work is genius and well deserved whatever he charges!

[@mastasheo]

Justin Garcia

[@markolijus]

Dan , thats amazing just like the last one, but much more complicated! fantastic work man!!! can you tell me whats that mod done on Overlord pedal? is it completely different circut made by you? thanks keep up the good work!

[@gadajacaglowa]

Daniel... you're boss! :D

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

rain mode Ah, thanks ;)

[@TheRytteren]

Great video. Please keep 'em coming. What was the second overdrive pedal in the back, after the Archer? That pedal sounded really fat and saturated in a nice way.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Thomas Rytter My pleasure Thomas. The second OD is a very modded Dean Markley Overlord. Its only the box and valve base thats left from the original. :)

[@ukguitarnoodle]

how do you apply Velcro? /fix your pedals down? a video on how YOU do it would be great

[@ThePowersThatBeef]

E X C E L L E N T Loved every minute!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Cheers Pete, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@NotMarkKnopfler]

Hi Daniel. I have a number of stereo pedals on my current board. An ancient (and well loved) Arion Stereo Chorus (mono in, stereo out), then a flanger, phaser, uni-vibe clone, and delay. All of those pedals are stereo in, stereo out. I have the mono signal from the amp send go into the chorus, then out of that in stereo to the other pedals. Can the G2 support this many stereo pedals? If necessary, I can reduce to four stereo pedals (use a multi-fx pedal for the phase/flange) so I'd need 4 stereo loops. Have watched most of your videos and also subscribed. Wish you and your team every success for 2016.

[@remeiagullessimo1586]

Working on a project... AMSP?

[@MrJeppe313]

Probably his upcoming solo album

[@jugipesonen]

Dan, can you tell us a bit more about those pickups in that tele? It sounds soooooo good! Not so snappy and overly bright like most teles to me are.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

+Jukka Pesonen I've done a video on the guitar and go through the PU's in detail :)

[@naterciapsouza]

Cool video, incredible effects this pedalboard! Daniel is a very luck man to have been besides of virtouse Ed O' Brien! Oh God, I'd like to have been there too. ED is always so amazing, happy, a gentlemen. ED looks handsome, sexy and with beautiful hair! Thanks a lot to post it.

[@huskvarsm]

God man are there no limits to your skills I would love you to make me a board.......pure sonic genius.

[@denniskresser6428]

could you please tell me the brand of siignal cable you are using...couldnt make it out on the audio...thanks , Dennis K.

[@denniskresser6428]

Thanks Matthew, you have taught me much !!!

[@gibbo4deanz]

Hey dan, what flanger/comp was on the board? Very Intrigued, saving for a g2.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Hi Tom. Flanger is a smoker ElecLady and the comp is a Dinosaural OTC1 :)

[@basvredeling]

Nice pedalboard. That's still packing a lot of pedals. What's the patch cable brand / type? Btw, nasty moire on that middle grillcloth during the outro.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Cheers. These are SiS patch cables from Evidence Audio

[@basvredeling]

thanks

[@ejaymo6095]

Way to go Dan. Awesome work again on this project. Anyone know what is the 'mod' on the Vox A30? It sounds amazing.

[@1414matt1414]

I think it's an ef86 channel

[@outerloop]

Roots of fighting !

[@RandomHero12]

On that junction box, there are volume send/rtn jacks - is that for a volume pedal as and when Ed needs it? Board looks great by the way!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Adam Bourne HI Adam, yes, its a loop specifically for his volume pedal, he prefers it off the board. cheers ;)

[@frama7844]

A SDD3000 always GASed me ... still does

[@bruhdamartinasty3636]

Why would he use two delay pedals (Korg and Memory Man)? Also, what is the pedal at the top left corner (under the switcher board) with the red knobs?

[@stevelark9840]

I think that's a Dean Markley Overloard. It's a version of the TubeWorks realtube overdrive by B.K. Butler

[@ripplebear]

Multiple delays is just going to make it easier for him for the way he tweaks things live. And in the memory man's primitive form, he's probably very comfortable with the way it works and connected with the sounds he gets through it. They are definitely their own thing, too. But having separate delays ready to go, even though the Korg has presets, it's probably just second nature for him at this point. Most people wouldn't need multiple delays, but after all, this is Radiohead were talking about :)

[@RocketinExile]

Amazing pedal board. What Vox is that? Never seen one before? A modded AC30? Thanks

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

+Yul Vazquez its a Brian May RED Special AC30, we modded this one to include an EF86 channel. Sounds killer! ;)

[@MGJJ123]

BJJ shirt FTW!

[@d3rkd1zz]

Can anyone tell me what flanger is being used?

[@brianjordan4351]

+1... I'd really like to know as well.

[@d3rkd1zz]

+Brian Jordan I figured it out that day. It's the Mooer ElecLady. I ended up buying one, but I sold it right after because it ended up having a noticeable volume drop, and no way to turn it up. Great sound, terrible volume drop. I ended getting the larger MXR, and it's working great for what I do. :)

[@brianjordan4351]

+d3rkd1zz ... Thanks for info and the reply!! I'll keep that in mind and check out both pedals.

[@stilwel]

Dan, Is that a modified Brian May AC30? It sounds lovely.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

stilwel yes, but we've modded the bright channel to an EF86 input - KILLER!

[@SamuelOceanMusic]

Btw, what are you using at the very end of the board to connect the output to the 3 amps and where could I get one just like it? I love the size and simplicity of it. Also did I hear you say you've set it up so you can connect any additional effects if needed? How do you achieve that? Thanks in advance!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Hi Samual, it's called a Cinco Cinco patch bay. We sell here at our site TheGigRig

[@SamuelOceanMusic]

Thanks for your reply, Daniel. I'll go ahead and order one from your website! Cheers.
