I really liked the air trash solo. Wasn't expecting it to work so well for getting emotion across. Very lyrical, better than I expected from your description.

[@Fooma777]

I’m with you, I did too! Kinda made me think of Delicate Steve in some respects

[@gamesgearnthrash5338]

Reminded me a fuckton of Pink Floyd, specifically the solo from Time. Idk why.

[@homunculusSZN]

Wata from Boris uses it too!!

[@michanowak7060]

>Calls it Pedalboard of doom >Refuses to play doom Aside of that, perfect video

[@ilyatishchenkov6501]

I'd thought Paul Davids' pedalboard is unbeatable but than I heard this 8:00 and my heart sank

[@Heartwing37]

It sounds like wet farts….

[@821208RR]

@@Heartwing37 Was wandering when will we start with the fart jokes, but(t) XD I must say, I just like Samurai, his content is nice to watch :) Cheers mister Samurai!

[@bl4km4th]

I've never felt so...vanilla about my own pedals.

[@machomuchacho4280]

I’ve always wanted a board filled with uncontrollable weird guys. Pedals like these rearrange the guitar so it’s usually a one at a time game. An oddball board along with a standard fuzz/pitch>wah>D/OD>delay>verb board would be tons of fun for crazy solos since you could change not only your amount of crazy but also your type of crazy.

[@Dyezerify]

Wow, Sammy G. really pushing boundaries of the shoegaze today!

[@buckdancer421]

Building new board configurations is definitely a type of therapy for me!

[@webpunk808]

I would say the same but the access to pedals that he has make me jealous af

[@ericb.4313]

Not bad tones (yes, even the "all pedals activated" sound, I listen to a lot of noise rock). But if you want a pedal that will FYSU, the Catlinbred Anticthon will help you in that goal. It's a fuzz tremelo that makes it sound as if interdimensional dolphins are coming through your amp.

[@serrisdaylor1015]

Oh that pedal seems super fun

[@ericb.4313]

@@serrisdaylor1015 It is.

[@Mediumreginald]

I play in my own noise band and even I have trouble fitting that boy in

[@2002gamerboy]

The all pedals on would’ve been good for Zach hill to drum over. Very nick reinhart esque

[@TotinosOtherBoy]

All pedals tone would make for a good song to start off a song before transitioning into the actuall riffs

[@bobjordan69]

That ‘fffft fffft fffft’ sound when you expand the pedalboard is some serious Six Million Dollar Man shit

[@beveryofa2546]

I really dug the sound that you were getting around 7:40 with the Housekeepers, Seek Wah, Interstellar Orbiter and Pog, I've always been interested in a way to to get that old Moog synth of Fender Rhodes piano without going the MIDI route and that combo had some really 'synth driven' tone that would be fun to play around with given the time. :) Be safe, take care.

[@EarkEmo]

Not the "DOOM" that I expect but still love it!!

[@cpsbBXCX]

thought this would be a does it doom or fuzzlord effects video at first lmao

[@travisthornton1792]

Sounds like puking up a rainbow of hallucinogens and MD 20/20 on a carnival ride. Beautiful.

[@homunculusSZN]

That riff at 6:38 is pure dream pop

[@wilhemalmodovar8910]

As a drummer humbly learning his scales on bass and guitar, this looks really really cool.

[@marshxox5150]

I love that baby head pedal. Would love to own one, probably as a reverb instead of a distortion instead.

[@TheSquareOnes]

Honestly Simon seems like the kind of guy that would make you one if you asked (not sure how affordable it will be, of course), you could probably find contact info on his youtube channel and ask.

[@KevinT747]

The parts with the baby doll head sounded like they would have been at home in either the Earthworm Jim or Toejam & Earl games

[@vovka_-kr7rn]

That jam on 8:40 is something else

[@71tbomb]

Thanx Sammy. Lots o fun.

[@shaneharrington3655]

Ah, my favorite mental illness; "chirpy, happy, angel crows"

[@MrLanceDaily]

Fun additions could be an MXR Blue Box and/or EQD Rainbow Machine.

[@jonkerrmusic]

There are truly some EFX mad scientists out there. Wild board build, man!

[@experimetalfan8851]

I'm so glad you put the sounds of the separate pedals in the video too.

[@MachineGunAustin]

8:50 that’s the coolest solo ever!!!!!!

[@JDshabbos]

Dude, I absolutely love this! 😃 Keep experimenting, and having fun with it 👍 Love to see people with talent pushing the boundaries 😋💕

[@aspenv240]

Hey Sammy G. Thanks for all of the vids you’ve been making 🙏

[@ADayinWhite]

4:55 Nice job with the above-and-beyond A/V editing.

[@jacksmith3229]

Awesome video, I really liked the return of some of the older and weirder pedals.

[@Prance1992]

that micro pig was my go-to back when I was in high school. Such a great pedal, still on my board today 16 years later!

[@MrScrofulous]

I’m sorry, I have 6 EQD fuzz pedals (Black Ash, Erupter, Terminal, Acapulco Gold, Sunn O))))))) Life, Hizumitas)on my board as well as a Ghost Echo, Astral destiny, an Avalanche Run, a Spatial Delivery (step filter similar to the Seek wah) and a Night Wire. As well as a Zvex Fuzz Factory. Oh yeah, an Afterneath I am the Master of Doom. NO-one out-dooms the Scrofula.

[@Rustyjamesman]

That expandable pedal board is an amazing idea

[@Gusramosferreira]

I remembered the Miku pedal, if that is how it's called. Thought it could make the pedalboard. Great work

[@naikigutierrez4279]

The Korg Miku. It probably didn’t make it because IIRC it has a very noticeable latency that makes it hard to play, or so said Sammy G when he reviewed it.

[@Gusramosferreira]

@@naikigutierrez4279 Nice, thanks for clearing that up.

[@davida.corbala3279]

I love how it starts out and I'm thinking "Damn, That's way better than I thought it would be" then the G Chord comes out 🤮

[@hanreality.7266]

Actually I loved that noise! 😁

[@ZL1LoVeR]

Context matters… if it was a breakdown in asludge metal band it would have been “pleasant”

[@hanreality.7266]

I thought it was really interesting and entertaining!

[@theliberation9061]

I played that part five times now and it makes me die of laughter every time

[@basicforge]

It was great! In a so bad that it's good sort of way. Kinda.

[@samp4184]

I've had the AirTrash for two years now, I'm glad that it's finally starting to catch on with actually popular guitarists

[@rainbowkrampus]

That pedal board is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking about designing for myself since there isn't anything like it floating around. February's not that far off I guess.

[@ChrisLeeW00]

This is a good direction for your channel.

[@michaelyahner6695]

very rad. staying tuned for more doom!

[@Heartwing37]

Super enjoyable!

[@spacemissing]

That was FUN!

[@AMTunLimited]

I'm digging the 80's track "inquire the lonesome"

[@landonbailey]

that's a really cool pedal board. I just checked and D'Addario has merch, but no XPND pants; which is what many people may want after overeating this Xmas season. Maybe next year.

[@ShitNoiseOfficial]

7:05 The perfect Noise Rock tone!

[@bumblefritz]

I finally pulled the trigger on an XPND 2 pedalboard. Kind of spendy but I'm very glad I have it.

[@samarzaga2984]

Love this video! You always have a great imagination.

[@jeffbratteson7007]

All pedals on was spectacular.

[@ethelwulfmountbattenderoth2286]

Many good sounds

[@ruunstreur4901]

Sammy back with more content! Big ups

[@MachineGunAustin]

7:06 the sound my brain makes at work after I pull an all nighter lol

[@gregmerritt9366]

The pedals active at the 7:58 mark is what I imagine what an Atari 2600 with severe flatulence would sound like.

[@harrisontaylor5814]

9:37 had me dying of laughter 🤣😂

[@Kitcheneering]

I am totally astonished. Probably the best bit was the samurai socks.

[@opiumdennis7249]

WOW! Amazing stuff...

[@sathos]

That was fun!

[@michaela.friestbigmikesbas2508]

I'm psyched! We have the same color Coppersound telegraph switch. I love that thing but I keep it on my rig, not in my board because it's delicate and I'm a brute onstage.

[@humangarbagebin4183]

my favorite feature of this pedalboard is that it can open the gates of hell when you turn on all the pedals at once. very cool.

[@VitaEx]

Earthquaker makes some of my favorite pedals and sounds and they tend to go off the beaten path which I love I pretty much never take the nightwire trem off my board because of the attack controlling the rate feature

[@VitaEx]

Secret weapon #2 ( yet another feature I can’t live without) the Caroline kilobyte delay I think they call it a lo fi delay it lets you add distortion to just the repeats of its delay but even better has a momentary switch that automatically sets repeats to infinity as long as it’s pressed. You can start with a very quite or even barely any sound just hiss and make it ramp up to a loud rhythmic sound indispensable for washy shoegaze tones

[@MrScrofulous]

I think I have about a dozen EQD pedals, including a ton of fuzz and mot of their weird modulators. I sold the Data Corrupter, and don't have the rainbow machine, but i has most of the other weird shiz. It's totes fun.

[@MrScrofulous]

I have a tone of EQD too, including ing most of their weird shiz, totes fun.

[@VitaEx]

@@MrScrofulous somone once described the rainbow machine to me as somewhere between vomiting rainbows and having a seizure while watching the twilight zone …. And my thought was ok guess I have to grab one of those now

[@psychotogether5114]

Did not expect a Simon the Magpie construct to show up. Mint.

[@FallenDj122]

oh my god that air trash solo spoke to my soul broo

[@hobes9799]

The last Christmas track seemed out of some sort of horror based Christmas movie

[@MarkLumsley]

Such a wholesome intro hahaha "It's the pedalboard of doom! ^_^" :3

[@TheBawss90]

I would have been disappointed if you didn't include the last one in the list! Truly a Christmas classic

[@marzbitenhaussen]

beautiful

[@iamniveous5626]

MORE OF THIS....please.

[@JT96708]

I laughed out loud several times. I can’t wait for another installment of the PBOD.

[@SamueliglesiasP]

7:05 ahh, yes. The sound of my soul

[@allyourbasearebelongtous2191]

I really want that Count to 5 really bad. It's been on my list for a long long time.

[@gsbguitarsgsb679]

That is the most whacked out bunch o pedals I’ve ever seen in one place at the same time, lol… Pedalboards do evolve over time and it’s fun and exciting when you add or subtract from it as well… Thanks for the ride…

[@MK-1010]

Cool stuff! I especially liked the "Festive Holiday" bit, it reminded me of Yoko Ono's um... singing, but much less jarring. 😁

[@IntermezzoR]

Ofcourse the doll head is made by Simon the magpie, I should have known. He really makes awesome circuit bends.

[@dbfi01]

5:19 "and all this stuff should get me where I want to go". With that array of pedals it seems like you want to get lost. lol But then again, who wouldnt in this day and age tbh... But just like a boyscout, you found a way!!! Great video, great entertainment and it just made my day!

[@Big_Bag_of_Pus]

Some pedals I have (Marshmallow, Count To 5, The Woozy -- yay Champion Leccy, the POG2 instead of the more convenient microPOG, and I just got the Raster version 2) and some pedals I wish I had (Seek Wah and the Interstellar Orbiter). But I can't imagine a pedalboard like this not having the Red Panda Particle. Combining it with the Count To 5 in Mode 3 causes the destruction of the entire Universe. I know, because I've destroyed the entire Universe more than once that way.

[@theliberation9061]

As soon as you explained the concept I thought "AIRTRASH" and went "YES" when it showed up on screen

[@ZL1LoVeR]

Sammy G, I thought you were going full Mick Gordon! That would have been a sight to behold 🤘🏽 cool video

[@michaelsimons1489]

This is so cool

[@byronbailey500]

I have the Snarling Dogs Blues Bawlz Wah. Really fun pedals for sure! And they look amazing - I will die on that hill.

[@Wooda-qu8wj]

Great video. You had me laughing out loud several times.

[@bredbandit8374]

Finally someone else who has a Woozy! That thing is badass, glad it got mentioned by someone a little more mainstream. Champion Leccy has been doing some great work lately

[@41DegreesSouth]

That 4 part track made me feel like I was back in the 90s playing Golden Axe on a Sega

[@NikeaTiber]

I've never heard a flatulent robot be so musical.

[@jkrause365]

That was pretty hilarious. One of those combinations sounded like a sonic fart joke. I laughed out loud.

[@craigmantle5362]

Wow, I bet even Mick and Dan are jealous of this pedal board!

[@kingjbone1]

i want to see them make this board work with the band setup they been doing recently

[@dw7704]

Even if it’s not something I would use it was fun to watch & would be fun to try

[@brakeer7310]

This pedal board is often squishy, sometimes tinkly, and oddly enough, did actually produce a sound you would use at a "Church service..." At 6:40

[@TheNitsua59]

I thought I heard some Delicate Steve. Very enjoyable.

[@firewing38]

This video strangely reminds me of when I was a child and I would mess around with the odd tones and presets on my keyboard lol.

[@caleidonauta]

Omar Rodriguez's dream pedalboard

[@sethwyrzykowski9176]

When you turned all the pedals on at the same time it sounded like when at the local music shop I work at had someone bring in what we nickname the death cable that goes as follows: Wall outlet plug- exposed transformer that will shock the living shit outta you- quarter inch instrument plug. and when you plug it into the wall and into an amp it immediately will blow the speaker on it except for a ring gorilla amp that will not break no matter how much we try beside straight up drowning it

[@Deathofatiger1389]

@samuraiguitarist That Air Trash solo piece was Empyrean album Frusciante vibes, loved it

[@davidjairala69]

"Part 4" went haaaarrrrdddd

[@subhadeepchakrabarti]

The Polytonal FestiveFartsound 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@swagonometry9893]

I'm sorry but that "Sammy G pays his bills" blurb sends me

[@duard8652]

I would keep a bookmark on this as anti-GAS pill. Every time I will think I need more pedals, I will get to that fart sound, or last holiday track, and be content with what I have. (And I play bass in pop rock band, so there is negative 5 out of 10 usefullness)

[@Badlex727]

Yo that last holiday jam was so System of a Down

[@BeejayMorgan]

Now do this pedalboard with the Jellifish pick!

[@sirgawain8471]

Have to say that some of the sounds you were able to create, some, not to bad. Do like the fact when you were putting it together, you could see your "normal" pedal board in the background.

[@timwhite5562]

I remember a time when I could tell every pedal on a board from 100 yards. With the exception of the POG and Boss, I don't recognize a single one of the others.

[@tylerschott5387]

“Sammy g pays his attic repair time” LOL

[@aaronwilson9261]

Can't wait to hear some more noise from that thing.

[@Noone-of-your-Business]

8:10- That is the most convincing synthetic fart noise I have ever heard.
