What started out as a picture on Instagram has now turned into a video documenting the sounds inspired by mu current pedalboard. I built this board to be an ambient/post-rock powerhouse and synthy dream machine, and I think it ticks all the boxes. So without further ado, here's 7 sounds inspired by my own pedalboard.
It would mean the world to me if you followed my social channels:

This video changed my life as a musician. It's been a year since I saw it. I completely changed my pedalboard in an attempt to achieve the same result and started playing different music. Thank you, Stefan.
Let´s go a step further than saying you´re one of the absolutely best, most creative and most audiophil pedal reviewer on TH-cam, but you´re also a cool, awesome and inspiring guy, which we would surely like to drink a beer with. And this is absolutely not standard for the people we watch on TH-cam.
Agreed 110%
I'm just happy he doesn't play blues licks
stefan is awesome! best pedal channel ever!
What about knobs?
Truly hope you enjoy this video. Probably some of the most fun I've ever had making a video. I was truly blown away by the potential of these pedals when combined. Please let me know what your favorite sound from the video was. And if you have the time, please consider leaving a like or share the video with your friends. Every tiny action goes such a long way, and word of mouth is especially powerful. Thank you for being awesome! - Stefan
Hard to chose as everything sounds gorgeous and you play so well so my heart can't chose. But my brain was particularly fascinated by what you did with only three notes. This as not only do you show how a pedalboard is close to eurorack, but that, as some of your pedals really are synthesisers, this is not only close to but actually is modular. And what you do here is also much in the same spirit as eurorack as we often start with something simple like a sawtooth wave and then through a chain of modules make melodies and rhythms that sounds like a big orchestra or a sweet ambient soundscape. Only thing missing really, from being eurorack is the multi coloured spaghetti.
Being into eurorack myself I got one, and want several more send and return modules in my rack because even though I can't modulate pedals with cv as easily and much as you can with effects modules, pedals are often better and usually cheaper than their equivalent counterparts in modules.
Two pedals I thin I remember seeing in your videos and will get at some point and that makes a pedalboard even more modular is Old Blood Noise Signal Blender and the Expression slider.
Yes I hope to see a pedalboard band one day without any guitar or other instruments. Just using some noise and feedback from the circuits or mixer to start building up stuff, and then sending sounds back and forth between the boards for further mangeling and evolution of melodies and beats.
On a final note, This guy who also demo pedals need more attention I think. He does not explain much but his melodies are usually really good and sweet:
Ambient Endeavours

because of you i do love meris pedals ... can't recall i ever saw/heard a microcosm ... that has a lot of potential as well ... i never liked fuzz and i still don't ;) thank you stefan
I love everything you do, Stefan. My favourite part was anything with Microcosm in it, as well as the Hedra. By the way, what's your take on virtual pedalboard stompboxes like the Mod Duo X? I love so many standalone effects, but the fact that you can get get an endless rig for the price of just two expensive stompboxes is amazing, I think. What's your opinion? As always, thanks for the amazing content!
Stephan, love this video and the sounds. I commented and asked above, but I really wanted to know what module you used in this video in the Jackson Audio Fuzz?
I never cease to be amazed at how you make a guitar much more than just a guitar, through the judicious use and the right combination of pedals. Synth territory, for sure. I always look forward to your next video.
You are a kick ass synth guitarist. Your music sounds like if Vangelis was a Post Rock guitarist
This is probably one of the best comments I've ever received. Vangelis as a Post-Rock guitarist. Yes please!! THANK YOU ❤
Unbelievable how powerful this is Stephan! I'm almost speechless after watching this over morning coffee. Thanks for making this!
Awwww! Cheers, bud. Really happy you liked it, and great that it could be the soundtrack to your morning coffee ☺
Yeah the pedals are cool and all, but the real reason everyone comes to watch these videos is for your playing, these sounds were genius. I could listen to you for hours. Thanks for always making such amazing content.
I didn't know how badly I needed an Enzo in my life.
Enzo is life! :)
Dude, you seriously need to just make an album, whether it's ambient, or more traditionally-structured songs. I'd play this stuff while trying to go to sleep, or doing story writing. It's really, REALLY that good.
Loved all the demos you made up, but 5 and 7 are probably my favs!
You are beyond kind, good sir. THANK YOU! ❤
@@thepedalzone He is right, Stefan. I and many others would gladly buy an album of yours, without hesitation.
That Hedra and Enzo combo was mesmerizing
Yeah, it's such a sonic dream team. Happy you enjoyed it!
He’s becoming the Mr. Rodgers of pedal demonstrators.
Yes Stefan, I will be your neighbor.
Sweet! Let's hang and jam!
you got the right idea...start a pedal effects channel to fullfill your dreams. You got ALL the killer effects.
A year later, this video is still on regular rotation. Very inspiring

Dude, you really need to release these mini compositions as an album/compilation!
Mate, when are you going to put out an album? We are all waiting.
No idea if it'll ever happen. I feel more than content with using my creativity for these videos. I'm honored you would want to listen though, if a solo album existed
@@thepedalzone Booo!!!! Do it! You inspire the creators, it would be well received
First track: "I hope you think this picture smells great" lol
@@thepedalzone Just marry the 2 - just take all those beautiful demos and edit them into 20 min blocks. I'd totally zone out to a playlist like that
Also awaiting something you put out! Between your playing and sound creation, I'd have a new favorite artist 🍻
Tienes calidad de sobra!
I'm criminally late to this video and your channel, but I just wanted to join the other users who already commented in saying this may be one of the most eye-opening music related experiences I've ever had. You just completely changed my perspective on guitar and what can be achieved with it and I can't thank you enough for that. I was honestly moved to tears by sound 3 especially, it's definitely changing my plans for how to upgrade my board. Cheers!
So unbelievably inspiring. If I ever start to feel bored with guitar, all I need to do is watch one of your videos, and I'm instantly ready to start creating again!
Those magical machines would be nothing without a Wizard..
So inspiring, thank you!
Really kind of you! Thank you 🙏
Sound 3 composition is magical!
Gosh! Thank you so much ❤️
I especially like how you bring in each pedal individually to show your viewing/listening audience the effect each pedal has in creating the overall sound. This is but one reason why you have such a great channel. Onward to 100k subscribers!
This is amazing work! Thankyou!
Always excited to see one of your videos pop up! And another great one as always!
A new video from you is always rewarding. I truly appreciate the passion you put in these melodies and sounds. And this board is hell of a great playground! :)
8:38 - Incredible progression, reminding of such bands as "HRVRD" and early "U2"! Big up and all the possible respects from me for such level of playing/pedalboard tweaking!!!!!!!
Great demo of awesome pedals. You make everything sound very special! 👋👋
That stereo tremolo caught me offguard haha HOW COOL
You are becoming my favorite pedal channel mate. Keep up the fantastic work. This setup is killer. Love your use of these fairly complex effects units. Very very musical.
WOW! What a brilliant video!!!! I found it fascinating and learned a HUGE amount. I loved it when you 'played' the Hedra, pedalboards as instruments. Love it. Your guitar playing just gets better and better too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow… stunning. These pedals are amazing, but it takes a player to draw out the music. And you do that so well Stefan, every time. Amazing!
Oh boy! Thank you so much. Your kindness warms my heart ❤
Stefan, some great sounds there. 🤟 You definitely sparked my ambient Curiosity with the Microcosm. Definitely going to do some digging on that pedal. Also, congrats on 50K! That’s massive!
Love your videos, and thank you so much for your pedal reviews and experimenting with sounds, it helps me a lot with finding the tone for my upcoming album! Have a great day!!! 💙💙💙
Amazing. Sound #7 is like music from the opening of an epic sci-fi film, something like Blade Runner. Can see a flying car travelling through some rainy neon-drenched futuristic cityscape. Gonna land for some ramen before hunting android fugitives. :)
These videos are actual pieces of art! ❤️
About friggin time you use your rig. An inspiration as always 🤘🏾
Superb! You are a genius when it comes to creating immense soundscapes with these machines. Sound 3 has really given me some new ideas for Hedra and Enzo - thanks so much for sharing this.
Oh my. So difficult to pick a favourite because they are all so beautiful. 7 was in particular. I really love the contrasting drift and percussion you created using the Microcosm. So lovely to hear what you do with that board. Soaring soundscapes and, most important to my ear, amazing melodic harmonies. Just beautiful Stefan ❤
Another spectacular video! I have Microcosm and the Enzo is being delivered today. Thank you for your channel and information on your pedalboard. Cheers from Chicago!
Stefan. Holy moly! I loved all the sounds. Number 7 is a work of genius - or several geniuses, including the various pedal designers/engineers.
A couple things stand out for me - I'm 66 and learning ambient styles.
First - your playing is so spot-on. It might go unnoticed in the amazing sounds you create. But man! You are a gifted player.
Second - your comnent about modular synthesis really hit home for me.
The guitar us an instrument. But a pedalboard is also an instrument. I'm thinking differently about my own modest pedalboard.
Thank you for the illumination.
This sounds absolutely AMAZING. So well done, as always!
Thanks a ton!
This is probably my most favorite video from you! Love how you really showed all the ways you use these individual effects! I'm definitely wanting a microcosm more than ever. And now I miss the Enzo and Hedra.
But dang, never thought I'd want a fuzz so bad - that one is amazing!
Oh maan those octa fuzz and Enzo entries on sound 5 and 7 are so epic!!
Welcome to the future, i love your music bro! For a drummer like me just starting the immersion into (melodic) experimental music with synths and pedals your channel is such a goldmine of sonic inspirations, thank you so much for sharing your intimate words like this!
And please do more experimentations like this one (one's a month?!), watched it two times straight, so beautiful and magic!
Hoping that someday we will come to see YOU in a full concert with a drummer and only pedals, guitar and synth, would be awesome, future is coming!!
'Tonal Teamworks' are one of my favourite clicks on YT. Another great addition to the series. The microcosm is such a versatile pedal, seems to hold a different space than the blooper.
Enzo, Hedra & Microcosm is just a match made in heaven! 🥰🚀
Sure is! Happy you liked it 😊
I was on my way to comment the exact same thing. Awesome!
Those Enzo swells are amazing!
Agreed. I have the Polymoon and the Mercury 7 (and absolutely love them), but need the Enzo and the Hedra (and the Microcosm) in my life.
You're the best man! Love all your vids
Thanks a ton!
So good man, that last jam brought all the Bladerunner vibes. Imagine just getting up on stage and blasting that out, one dude and a guitar! Crazy. I'd buy tickets for sure. Thanks for another classic.
I'm really looking forward to your top pedals of the year video, I hope you had a good 2021.
Great video as always, man. Thanks for sharing and inspiring :)
Really glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! What you can do with 2 or 3 pedals is incredible. You know exactly what to do with them to get the most out of them. Some EPIC sounds there Stefan and some real inspiration for me. As ever, thanks for all you do.
I would love to listen an entire album only made with sounds 5 & 7. You step up your game in every video yo do. Congratulations and thanks to share your ideas, sounds and “how-to”s!
Dude this is so captivating. That last one...wow.
Agree with others, ease put some of your ambient work together for us to enjoy! It's a lot of work but it would surely be worth it. Thanks for the video, super inspiring.
so great!!
Thank you!
Damn that enzo mono synth sounds nice! I agree with what you said about modulars and pedals. I use both and have all kinds of ideas for pedals inspired from using guitar with my modular and knowing about all the different modules. I want to see more pedals with CV and pedals that are designed in modular ways.
My pedalboard looks back at me and it seems so prehistoric. Beautiful man!!
Awesome as always!
Thaaaaaanks! 😊
DUDE. Gorgeous sounds as always-using the Enzo trails as a sort of set-and-forget sound source is one of my new favorite things!
Thanks, buddy! Means a lot 🙏 Enzo is just such a glorious machine. I've had it since the day it hit the market (actually a bit before, since I got an early demo unit), and still I feel like every day with it is fresh and new. There's just so much stuff to explore in it. It's one of the few pedals where I actually feel you get access to actual new instruments through it. It's like getting at least 4 new instruments when you place that golden wonder on your board 😊
@ThePedalZone Hope you finally make an album, I'd love to listen it.. you do not imagine how much inspired I got and how much my guitar and band's sound improved by watching your videos. Your sound and playing are amazing. Not many gear youtube channels are as much creative as you are and this is something to acknowledge and thank. Congrats from Spain!!!!
Thankyou Stefan. You are such a beautiful human...you're music fills my heart with such joy that I sometimes avoid watching just so I can delay the pleasure a little longer. Like a walk on a beautiful sunny winters day or the kiss of long lost lover. Do whatever it is that brings you joy my friend, the sounds you create will live in my memory forever.
It's crazy what you did using these pedals. I'm speechless. The first sound is supperb.
im not exaggerating when i say that after every one of your videos i plug in my pedalboard and start exploring new sounds. your videos and music have inspired me so much when it comes to making music, and they continue to blow my mind every time i watch
Every video is full of new ideas and wonderful sounds.
So much fun! Thank you for the inspiration.
You are so welcome! Just makes me happy to hear you find the videos helpful and inspiring. Makes it all worth it 🙏
That was an awesome demo! 🔥🚀
And that Jackson audio fuzz makes me drool.
Thanks, bud! The Jackson Fuzz is really rad.
Sound 1 was amazing! the self oscilation was a nice touch.
A truly favorite gear geek of the internets you are sir. You have many videos which last many rewatchings and this one surely is now among them. Inspiring stuff.
Buddy! THANK YOU!
Wow! Epic!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you, that was wonderful.
Thanks for watching, listening and commenting. Means a lot ❤
I want all of them!!! Your sounds are brilliant!!!! Don't stop)
Extremely kind of you. Thank you!
I'll take two of each please! Man, you're gifted when it comes to getting the best out of pedals - truly you're in the place you're supposed to be.
You deserve way more views - not just for demonstrating pedals but for the amazing soundscapes you create. You could be hired for movie soundtracks
Incredible
Thank you!!
You're the man!!
You're too kind ❤
Thank you. You are a Master. Live long and prosper. I hope you make a video of that Fuzz pedal and your settings it sounded awesome with the Hedra.
Love every bit of this! Awesome and inspiring compositions! \m/\m/
Thanks, man! That means a lot!
I’ve seen enough videos on the Microcosm, Enzo and Hedra to expect them to sound amazing, but DAMN that fuzz really surprised me. It sounded so articulate and the octave sound on it sounded like it tracked well. That pedal is definitely on my radar now!
Absolutely breathtaking! Thank you for not just inspiring, but also sharing and being so humble! Salute!
Oh boy! Thank you so much for your kind words. Goes straight to heart
OMG the tonez. Love it!
Thank you! Really happy you enjoyed the tones and tunes 😊
"pictures full of dreams and ideas" - that's cool bro! Sweet tones too. thanks for sharing with the world - we are listening
I loved every sound!😍
Thank you! That makes me really happy to hear ☺
Yeah!!! My dream become true
Awwww, man! Thank you so much. Means the world to me 🙏
The sounds gotten here are freak'n amazing!! Stefan is a Wizard!!
Thank you SO MUCH, Eric ❤
Again Stefan thank you for such a lush (your favourite word !) demo, again it's so creative, you should team up with the Novelller, she's from the same world of sound as you !
My pedalboard envy is almost as MASSIVE as your tones!!
That last sound was just something ethereal. Thank you for this so much.
Thank you for watching and commenting. Your kindness made my day ❤
Sounds great man! It's inspiring how you can mix all of these ambient and/or idiosyncratic effects into a sound that is still clear and musical. Cheers!
Thank you so much! Really means a lot to me 🙏
Superb Stefan, quality content every time.
Awwww! Thank you 🙏
I love your channel. As someone just getting back into playing after about 14 years, seeing the massive array of really clever and brain melting pedals on offer has been a revelation but very confusing. Your channel is great because of videos like this which show what can be achieved with just a few choice pedals. Thanks!
Also, my dog absolutely conked out listening to this. He is in a deeeeeep sleep. 🤘
What a fenomenal video...damnnn!!!...love all the sounds you made...but sound 3...6 and 7 OMG!! my favourites! F*ckin' amazing work there! 🙌🏻👊🏻👏🏻💜💜💜 Greetings from Portugal!
Oh boy! Thank you so much for the sweet words ❤
Absolutely loved this video. This is where your creativity really shines through
Thank you so much! Definitely had a blast making this video ❤
Inspiring! Thanks for the video. Well made and played.
Hey, thanks! Means a lot to me ❤
Amazing sounds and tasteful playing as usual.
Thank you kindly!
Wonderful
Thank you!!
You’re a master , i totally escape from reality with your landscape sounds!
Oh wow! Thank you so much! Honored to hear that my videos are able to provide you with moments of zen 😊🙏
I am absolutely blown away by your riffs. Super inspiring! I seriously hope that you realize how talented of a guitarist you are. Amazing tones as well.
Awwwww! Thank you. Truly warms my heart ❤
This was freaking beautiful man!
THANK YOU!
Quite a palette of knobs to paint with! ...Always an inspiring experience here!
Thank you so much 😀
Good sharing! Thanks man
Cheers!
Such a cool video. Reminded me why I love the Thermae and regret selling it. Heck all of those pedals were awesome in their own way.
That is a great little board!
Cheers, man!
I’m loving that pedal board!!
Thanks!
sound 7 is straight out of DARK
Rad! I love that show so much!
The cosmic power created with your skill of altering sounds is mesmerizing. The ambiance worthy of soundtracking any game or movie with a suitable theme. Great work, and thank you for sharing.
Wow, thank you! Really means a lot. Help making a soundtrack for a game would be a dream come true 😊
That synth sounds... Gorgeous!
Cheers! Enzo is a wonderful synth machine
