AFFORD-A-BOARD! You've been gone too long, my friend.

[@SuperSteeda]

I’m so glad this series is back. Still holding out hope for the shoegaze Afford-A-Board.

[@dylacious92]

Ryan's made one before. Just search for the video; it's a good one. If you mean you're hoping he'll come back to it, I kinda doubt it. I'm pretty sure there was another video where he said he didn't want to pursue making a ton of different genre specific boards.

[@colinbanning9416]

How affordable are you looking? I just made one for myself, both a cheap version and a more mid version off Kijiji/Marketplace. Clean OD into Fuzz into Reverse Reverb is, like, your milk AND your honey. I would argue that if you need to eat a single bullet, you get Oceans 11/12 because they whole game hinges on how good your Reverb is. But Fuzz? Behringer, or Azor, or anything. I haven't heard a Donner fuzz, but I bet it'd do, cause Fuzz is impossible to screw up too badly. Clean OD, get like. The Joyo Taurus does the job well enough at a great price point. This delay that was demoed in this video is excellent for a cheap delay pedal, and again, Behringer is a $20 pedal that does the job. Any other modulation can come off of a cheap Line 6 multiFX board, as well as a little extra room reverb to add into the mix since you'll use the main reverb for reverse. TLDR: You could do it for very little, but your uses for it will be limited entirely by your main reverb pedal

[@SuperSteeda]

@dylacious92 Ryan mentioned in the Sonicake Sonic Ambiance video that he might revisit the shoegaze Afford-A-Board. (I bought a Sonic Ambiance pedal after watching that video) @colinbranning9416 I have a pretty good all genres board right now (line 6 m5 filling in the gaps) but I send these videos with my band mates that don’t have quite as much gear that I have.

[@PedalChainsAddiction]

Love the affordaboard series. What a great resource for beginning or budget guitar players to get great textures. Keep up the great work!

[@colinbanning9416]

There is also a lot to be said, that there are NO bad pedals if you're using them all. Oh, this fuzz sounds weird and unlike another fuzz you've sound? Use that. I want to have one of those rooms where I have every cheap weird broken pedal possible so I can mix and match to make tones that are hard to reproduce.

[@Simplertous]

Ryannnn! Please keep doing Afford-A-Board forever lol. You are the king of affordable pedal content!

[@WilliamHaisch]

“You have failed me for the last time, reverb.” -Darth Ryan, probably 😂

[@hotrod54chevy]

I enjoy that the "Horse" pedal has a unicorn on it.

[@eburns-nc]

I love it when these less expensive brands pay literally any attention to names and art and branding. It's depressingly rare. These presentation of these pedals isn't perfect but it's at least fun and attention getting.

[@craigbragg2842]

Always love the afford-a-board series! It is strange that Donner got rid of the Island, as well as the Fuzz Seeker. Both punched way above their weight for the price.

[@-jank-willson]

And if you convert an old fashioned dial telephone from a thrift store into a microphone with a few easy sodders, and use it to record your amps, its an instant lofi sound. And If you buy an old transistor radio from a thrift store, and convert it to an amp with a few easy mods, you have an instant amp with a gritty voice.

[@leob4403]

​@@-jank-willsonwhats your point?

[@-jank-willson]

@@leob4403 expensive sounds for cheap

[@periurban]

Great to see this back. I was just getting into pedals at the height of the affordaboard so it was a perfect fit.

[@LarsonGuitarPlayer]

Oh yes! I've missed the affordaboard. Want more! Love it how you tweak the pedals with no mercy! (And watched the whole video!)

[@benjaminprivitt9530]

I love the afford-a-board. You inspired me to explore the Island-it didnt stay on the board but moved me on to better delay and looper pedals. Great series, eager to see where you take it!

[@stuartchapman5171]

I have the Island. It has a few issues but there's such a wide selection of sound that I'm keeping it for those wild experimental samples. The Vintaverb has a couple of really great reverb on it as well, if not dimed, like the plate and Modulation.

[@mykhedelic6471]

I've been slowly making my way through your chat with Andy and it's been a great ep, but I had to click on Afford-a-board as soon as it showed up. Got about 20 minutes left of beach bungalow bash to go. It's a good video.

[@FrKyleSanders]

Love the Afford-a-board series. Don’t know if there are new pedals, but it always fun to hear new things at super accessible prices.

[@walkingtruck]

The Afford-a-Board series is one of my favorite things on KZbin. Welcome back!

[@LarryDavis2099]

This series was what got me to start watching your channel, since I just started guitar not too long ago and was looking for good cheap pedals to try out

[@tubularbill]

Still nothing beats the golf ole Cuvave Fuzz!

[@dalejones9459]

Yes!!! Love the affordaboard. And I love that Leon drive. The Leon and the chicken stacked sounded amazing

[@bthalko]

Always a good time when the Starcaster comes out.

[@printpanzee]

Yes, yes, YES!!! More afford-a-board please! 😁

[@blairmichaelhogan4502]

I missed this series more than I care to fully understand.

[@atomicmole6820]

Keep doing these. It’s helpful and highly entertaining 😃👍🏻

[@spacelab7135]

I want the Dragon reverb just because it has dragon balls on it 🤩

[@sassycat]

I hope no one tells Shueisha or Toei about it...might need to go ahead and buy one to be safe.

[@patrickkeenan6331]

Made it all the way through. With ease; this is a good video!

[@skylerbrooks4082]

Definitely bring back the affordaboard it's an awesome series

[@everynotecountsofficial]

Let’s work on that intro song lol. Love that this series is back!

[@trenthawkes4126]

I like the afford-a board vids you do ,, I’m sad that one pedal is no longer sold ,, I should have bought one 3 years ago .

[@Snarkyone1965]

I hate the fact that I missed this when it dropped, as I always enjoy commenting. On the bright side I was cranking out some Mississippi Queen at the time it dropped and having a blast using my new Boss SD-1. Welcome back from Snake Island Ryan.

[@ascw1991]

These are probably the most interesting pedals I've seen in your channel. That weird digital reverb is right up my alley lol

[@billyparham630]

that delay was as if unintentionally original and fun! loved it

[@FraterAlex]

Ryan, The Afford-A -Board, is Your thing! Keep it up!

[@devilsdoorbell]

I hope the afford-a-board keeps going. It's good to hear about the < $100 pedals that have character and build quality. I'm not a very big fan of reverb, but liked the modulated sound on the reverb here. It gave a vanilla pedal a notch of personality for a low price.

[@colinbanning9416]

I'm not trying to start a fight, but a philosophical discussion. I buy a lot of gear second hand off various marketplaces, and whenever people are like. I don't really like reverb, I'm always dumbfounded and like. You mean the single best pedal on your board? I have THREE of them in my chain

[@mattdoliver1984]

They sound pretty good, dig the artwork

[@LuisRFeliu]

YESSSS the kind of content that got me first hooked to this channel

[@BrentAdams]

Ryan, I almost always watch your videos....... All the friggin' way through Buddy!

[@KFitzG35competitor]

Just ordered a Starcaster myself, can't wait to get it!

[@aronlange1977]

Loved the intro song! ❤

[@waynegram8907]

The Chorus has that nirvana type of chorus which has that frequency tone to it plus a punchy LFO throb, sounds good

[@colinbanning9416]

For a pedal I use all the time, it's really hard to name another song that uses Chorus in a dominant way. It's just like, sure, right. The Come As You Are sound.

[@DGGriffinMusic]

Why do I love this cheeky branding?

[@sublimingmule6356]

I really like that reverb! Almost like a tame shimmerverb

[@mr.champlinssciencechannel906]

Def upping their game with the artwork!

[@murfmurphy6212]

Great to see this series back. Pease do a bigger affordaboard on the bigger nomad board

[@quadrogong1111]

New cattle fuzz is very nice!

[@nickd3895]

You get a LIKE for the Squier! Heck yeah dude! Love it

[@tahoemike5828]

I keep coming back to these. If there is new stuff to check out, please do.

[@marknason4572]

In my opinion, The Chicken has the most fun artwork

[@ColeWheeler4Lyfe]

The Mouse is a keeper. ❤

[@leehodgkiss15]

Awesome channel, only just discovered you! Definitely do more affordaboard videos. Would love to see demon fx and Biyang, especially ripple tide and tap delay

[@djay6651]

Cattle is probably a Metal Muff. That Chicken is a winner. The Snake would be a keeper outside of the static.

[@KieranThomasSmith]

I discovered this channel from the afford a board videos, it's great for us who can't afford expensive pedals

[@tmbgfan1234]

Afford-a-board forever!

[@OriginalBadRobotz]

I like watching this It gives me inspiration for what settings to change on my katana lol

[@johnadams2624]

I’m all for more affordaboard videos. I wonder how many weirdos like myself have a pedal board that is filled with stuff from these videos. I’m always seeing new cheapo pedals on amazon that I think need to be reviewed by someone I trust to tell me the truth. I’ve bought over a dozen pedals by yer recommendation and I haven’t been lead astray yet. Thanks!

[@AbsurdTV1]

I love your vids. Educational. 🎉🎉🎉

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

I got the Muff. What I like about it is it really sounds like a real Electro-Harmonic Muff instead of just being in the ball park up in the grey seats.

[@Nizodizo]

The delay sounds fantastic.

[@gtmuse329A]

I’ve tried a few afford-a-board pedals over the years but the only one that has stayed in rotation is the good old Cuvave Fuzz. 🎸👍

[@gingthedigger5046]

You should definitely bring the afford a board back that's what initially brought me to your channel when I first started buying pedals looking for affordable pedal demos and came across your series bought quite a few of them from seeing them here

[@BillHaleyInTheComments]

That horse looks suspiciously unicorn-like...

[@jpizzleforizzle]

Yeet! I saw the pretty colors and HAD to watch! Plus, your ad lib intro song was brilliant. . Auto tune it.

[@niclastname]

I love the affordaboard so I say do more! Thanks for reopening my Island Delay wound :( I really really wanted one of those but they were already gone when I went to buy one, and they said they didn't plan on making more when I emailed them.

[@SecretNatureChannel]

So bizarre. Seems like the demand would be there. I wonder if they can’t get the parts anymore.

[@jennoscura2381]

That delay is awesome! I do electronic music. The sound you had at the end when you set the guitar down was awesome. Add a drum machine to that and you have the foundation for an EDM track. Yep I think I need that delay for the digital bloopy sound. I bet that would be great with a bass synth. A nice FM bass. Thanks for doing more afordaboard pedals.

[@ColeWheeler4Lyfe]

Spot on. They’re good. I got 2 in case one breaks.

[@weedyguitarstudio1715]

Even though they are very affordable that's good for a lot of people on a small budget watching in full,😎💯🤘

[@gyslainbeauchamp9241]

Ryan good job as usual, Nice review,,,🤗

[@emossg]

I haven't even listened to these pedals yet but I would get one or two just for the art!

[@onefatstratcat]

A mountain of pedals!! :)

[@robertthornton1657]

The Meters! You & I dig the same vibes. 😊

[@garretazonsa]

MORE LIKE, AZOR-A-BOARD

[@jonnw]

More-Afford-A-Board-!!!

[@DrJeebles]

Thanks for the video, Ryan. Great stuff, as always. I may consider the monkey overdrive, the tuner and the compressor. It really depends. If they were still $25 each, I would jump on it. It looks like they went up to $40 with the new designs. I have the old grey Azor Big Muff style fuzz. It's not great, but at $15 second-hand I'm definitely not complaining.

[@mykhedelic6471]

Truly unprecedented 5th comment. To sum up, now that I've circled back: that delay produced some surprisingly Atari glitchiness goodness and needs to be issued with a twisty foot switch like a disc that can be manipulated hands free, Dog distortion can hump a leg, Cuvave is golden but Musiclily is rusted golden-- very tough call, Island is a great delay (but must go due to inavailability) and the White Tape was glorious until recently when something changed on it, that iSet Flanger is killer-- just simply delicious and just WORKS, octaver vote all day, everyday, all year. Return of Afford-a-Board gets a big vote. Afford-a-Board shirt for the rest of us.

[@upthepunx7178]

That dip into Smashing Pumpkins seemed almost instinctual

[@jacobbockover1628]

I like the look of those

[@Savageronin506]

Def make more vids. Awesome content

[@flynnsontide]

It’s a good time for more afford-a-board

[@nuclearbeige3038]

These are probably some of the prettiest afford a board pedals we've seen yet. Gahd damn so pretty. In the words of Glenn fricker if it's shiny I want it

[@mcstabba]

Yeah it's usually hardly any artwork, just one color and a name... I kind of want to pick a few of these up partly because of the fun colorful artwork on them.

[@nuclearbeige3038]

@@mcstabba hell I wouldn't mind the whole set! How often do you get the Chinese zodiac in an entire pack of pedals? They're like Pokemon I got to catch them all

[@mcstabba]

@@nuclearbeige3038 Haha, yeah, hard to resist getting them all. I settled for two though... for now at least. Got the Cattle and the Chicken coming my way.

[@janbeille]

That mouse delay is reallly coooooool

[@riskmandel1]

I love the afford a board!

[@mattjones8523]

I had to give a like JUST for the beginning of this video!

[@ForSquirel]

I would totally take a Unicorn Overdrive, cuz Unicorn!

[@klopfer_im_baellebad]

[@OrthodoxReview]

That delay oscillating gave me serious Castlevania IV vibes.

[@jake5952]

I want them all!

[@theWARMJET]

Hahahahaha me too😆

[@ck-ck]

Great to see a new affordaboard develop, always love those video’s! Hopefully anaffordaamp will be there too, because for what else would one be interested in an affordaboard? P.S. can’t believe those Azor guy’s skipped the year of the Rat in this new series ..

[@thirteenthnile3536]

Apparently, the word used in everyday Chinese can mean either rat or mouse. I don't know if there's a particular reason for "rat" becoming the conventional translation.

[@MrMont-ue8kh]

Ryan - glad to see the afford-a-board return. Thanks! Why don't people watch your videos longer than 10 min?? I wonder if it's because you spend more time than most channels noodling and messing around. I love that about your videos, but perhaps others don't...? I think most other channels have a repertoire of 30 second snippets of particular styles that they select from. You do that somewhat, but have a lot of fun in between. I feel like that's an integral part of your thing, so I'm not sure you should change it, but that's what I notice. Thanks again!!

[@60CycleHumcast]

So far the average watch time on this video is 13:45. Which is a little above average for me. Most people don't stick around for whole videos, it just part of how people use youtube.

[@sassycat]

Making 12 separate 5-10 minute videos, while probably helping the algorithm, would be a nightmare to make and produce.

[@ShuckCreations]

Yay, love these! I agree, the Chicken was by far the winner of the bunch. I suggest you check out Landlord FX pedals. I got the Whiskey Chaser distortion pedal for around $40, and it sounds great! You can get them from Anderton's in the UK.

[@DougMen1]

Those are just rebranded Rowin pedals, as are Stax, Outlaw Effects, and several others. You can get the original Rowin pedals for less money. The only difference is that the others have fancier graphics, but they have Rowin boards inside them.

[@CMTT]

Long live The Afford-A-Board!

[@celticwolff5429]

Ryan, could you do a series of videos with affordable pedals for people who want a specific sound? Not full boards but 1-4 pedals. Surf, rockabilly, classic rock, 70s metal, 90s grunge, etc. PSA: The Azor pedals site has their pedals & Calines on sale for a few dollars cheaper than Amazon.

[@onerandombruh]

Holy shit man, that's a good idea.

[@60CycleHumcast]

I did a shoegaze affordaboard video like that years back, i need to revisit the concept

[@feeltripforever]

@42:35 straight up modem sounds. @42:53 big yes from me. Hell yes.

[@blairmichaelhogan4502]

The Chicken is almost certainly a rebadge of their earlier Pure Sky (Timmy clone)It has that same open grainy-ness and the treble and bass knobs are a pretty big giveaway.

[@jpizzleforizzle]

Spot on. It's a Timmy.

[@DougMen1]

It could be an Orange Burst, because the earlier light blue Azor with bass and treble didn't have the more scooped mids of a Pure Sky, but sounds more like a TS with bass and treble controls with boosted mids, which is what the Orange Burst is, being a BB Preamo clone, and that's what a BB is. We all assumed the light blue Azor was a Pure Sky/Timmy type, because of the color, but that's not what it sounds like, so this one could also be either of them.

[@quadrogong1111]

That muff is unreal for the price , artwork is even nicer than EHX

[@hondoc13]

Missed this videos

[@grahamtyler5382]

The Tiger is the one that grabbed my attention. I'd like to hear it with a Telecaster.

[@couryswan2448]

DONNER YELLOW FALL. That's a good analogy delay. No tap tempo though.... Real smooth sound. You can get the spaceship sounds with ease

[@mark.guitar]

7:30 Ryan gurns through the maxed out tone so that we don't have to. Cheers Ryan!

[@WhatsUpWhitey]

Yes!!!

[@ChristianSamsel]

Intro singing were the longest 37 seconds of my life

[@-processdrone-]

I saw Andys #AffordTheBoard video recently and suddenly realised how much I've missed this accessible end of youtube video content. Now; either you get right on reviving the series, or I/we encourage Andy to develop a series from his first example. Which way do you want it? You pioneered the genre after all, go ahead and have your say. 🤷‍♂

[@devinftf]

That song at the beginning is basically the same as the one that Fred sings in Big Hero 6 about “Fred’s Angels” and they find and amulet with powers they find in the attic. 😂😂😂

[@Durkhead]

The song you were playing with the delay sounded like we have tool at home 🏡
