- I know what you'll say... this much money for a pedal board is insane and you'd be fully correct! However, these boards as as good as it gets and they are handmade in Germany and if you want one, that's what you have to pay for one... and I know you want one!

![Building A Pedalboard For Paul Davids [The Most Complex I've Ever Done?]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_UOUhHHYzE8/mqdefault.jpg)
For that price id expect to see midi controllable, rotating platforms like a 6 CD changer or some shit. Also an ice maker
100% right on!
Coffee machine and serving wench?
All in good time. I have a plan. This message will make more sense in a few months
My "dream pedal board" is made of 2x2, 2x3, 1x12 pine construction adhesive, deck screws and velcro.
The best thing about it is that it is totally modular. I can add a smaller board on each side attached with screws. They will consist of an espresso machine on one side and a mini bar on the other.
It looks like my mom's old typewriter. Same color too.
With the lid, it looks like a bbq grill
The person who designed this was visionary. Travel in style.
I also own a Schmidt array and I never looked back. Great Quality and superb service if something happens. Yes, its pricy. Yes, you spend this Kind of money on alot of other things. But its really worth it. Its build like a tank and well engineered.
Looks like a typewriter or Enigma machine
For some reason Schmidt Array pedalboards always remind me of accordions hard cases, great stuff
Sometimes I'm really proud of my country. Who else would overengineer the n-tieth degree shit out of a problem that is essentially solved with a Euro-pallet?
show me your euro pallet that can do what this does, travels like it, protects like it…
I put 4500 Euro worth of products on this board…. so you really want to put that kind of investment on a Euro pallet?
@@EytschPi42 I don't know what you're trying to argue about? For that price it bloody well should be better than a Euro-pallet. I just find it fascinating that you could just throw everything on a Euro-pallet and call it a day. Or...you could try to solve every little problem that is solvable on a pedalboard. That is all.
Too bad for me, i own only 3 pedals
This is not for you poor man.
Noodle camouflaged so well.
the perfect pedalboard for the dentist/laywer :)
Well done. Stereotype box ticked.
looks very well built and all, but all I can think of as you start to try and place that mix of pedals is that I'm really glad I just have a line 6 helix.1 item, no wires, no faff, infinite configuration. I don't think I could get ever get back into the individual pedals thing.
For that kind of money you can buy a quality standard style board, power supply and road case. Hard pass for me.
but there is nothing as good as Schmidt Array, the two decks are Kick Ass 👌🏻
id rather buy a pedal train for 100 and have a 900 left for pedals
That is sooooo nice! I will never pay for that much for a pedal board but for those of you who can, this is great! That USB chargeable light... I love my used Voodoo Pedal board that I bought super cheap and had to clean it for hours. lol
I love it!
I bought one too - the SA450DXM; I agree with you about the quality & investment. Can’t wait for your follow up video about setting up your pedalboard. Happy 4th!
I was skeptical, but after seeing this video this board is definitely worth the price!!! 👍🏾💯
Oh yes 😊
Legit question. Which advantages does this pedalboard have over say a "typical" Harley Benton pedalboard which costs 50/70€ and has a 3 year-warranty?
I mean it is handmade, it is pretty obviously deluxe...but this (at least to me) doesn't seem so special.
Legit answer. A Lamborghini and a Toyota are both cars. And that’s where the similarities end.
@@baseboardmatt Yeah, I totally agree with you. But who really needs a Lamborghini?
@@A_d_e_k And you still get stuck in rush hour.
@@baseboardmatt The Schmidt array is the garage for the Lamborghini. So the comparison is wrong.
Someone doesn't understand cars.
For less than that you can get a Fractal Audio FM3. You save the headache and the money of purchasing pedal effects, and you can even save the pain of having to carry heavy amplifiers and CABs :-D
But you DO understand that it just isn't the same, right?
Yes, I do understand that this is just a pedalboard without pedals :-D
Love the pillows not seen them before! I hope you're all well and enjoying the summer. Annoyingly I'm stuck @home because a house member hasn't been fully vaccinated, when I should have been in London @Trans Pride.
I’m not worthy of such a pedal board. I’ll have to stick to my wooden plank.
The Thorpy buffer is the coolest thing I think I've ever seen on a pedalboard
Only 15 seconds into the video I could see the coffee going over brother….. 😂🇬🇧
Seems totally worth it. I'm actually surprised how cheap it is considering the quality and time that must have gone into it 🤘I typically just stick things to a peace of scrap wood 😂
I love mine.
What is that Octave Fuzz in the video? Love this board!
Will you do any Cort guitar reviews?
hello goodnight. The pedalboard is very beautiful.
I would like to know: does the bottom (floor) of the pedalboard have a slight upward slope, in relation to the front and back? or is it flat? thanks.
I think it is flat
This pedalboard is cool.
How will the bag fit over the pedals on top? I bought the Pedal Train with the suitcase. It sucks. Had to cut out the foam to fit the pedals at the top of the board. The case partially pulls open at the handle.
with with the big Chase Bliss Pedals, the lid closes just fine
@@EytschPi42 Yes it does. What about the pedals on top of it? I’ll have to look it up.
I think I've seen Josh Smith with one of these and I think the designers name is Smith too but he called it Schmidt because it sounds german and reliable :D
The Schmidt army knife
Ooo good lord I like big boards they make a giantamous one too right!
17:03 title of your….
Eeouch I looked in it!
99!
€1,169 ($1,400) for a pedalboard it’s just ridiculous. Sure it look nice and it’s got “quality” parts...but come on it’s just a pedalboard alone and none of its components enhances sound.
I’ll stick with the temple board with the plates, interface, and bag for $400 and use the extra $1000 to buy a few pedals.
Not a good start with those solderless cables...unless you just play at one place and setup and forget. If you start to change pedals and move around they will fail.
Nice board and nice pedal? Are you in a band or just a bedroom player?
I am neither, I am guitar influencer and I make videos every day!
@@EytschPi42 making videos everyday is a good way to practice! Keep going!
Holy shit that nowbody needs.
So I spend my Money in pedals and a cheap pedal board.
Can‘t wait to get my 550 board for a bigger Gigrig setup. It was ordered 3 weeks ago
I was pretty impressed by these boards but they are very expensive so I just build on myself out of plywood an adapted it to my needs in sizes. Works perfectly for me and just costs the price for the wood and all the electronic parts for the patch box. All in all under 50€ if you are able to solder and do a little bit of woodworking.
I need to see that
Honestly they lost me at charging an extra $400 for the lid of the pedalboard.
The cheek of it.
Yet most professional touring musicians still use a flat pedal board in a flight case. Far better when customs come snooping.
All the effects included in the price? That's a bargain!
the whole board is 5400 Euro
Cool. Room for like 3 pedals and not wide enough for a proper switcher. And no jacks on the left side.. Genius! Also you know which power supplies need a vent/grill like that to stay cool? None of them.
If you have a larger switcher you can buy a larger board. As he said in the video you can put jacks on the left side, back or right side. It’s all customizable.
He said it multiple times in the first few minutes, everything is custom!
But the price is extreme of course, if it would be the base price for everything I'd say alright, that's understandable but twice that, I don't know.
Musik Produktiv in Ibbenbüren stocks them
oh... i was expecting an actual set of pedals (pre configured?)... but this is JUST a board. I'm such a peasant, why am I even watching this?
Ugh. I was already fighting G.A.S. over the Boss ES-8 and one of the Schmidt Array XDM boards. Why did you have to post this? 🤣
Got bossed up by packing material :-)
Cool but I prefer a wallet-saving method, so I chose building my own with plywoods..
You can get a huge pedaltrain and a hardcase for a lot less money and it's also so much better and more practical than this.
go go gadgetto pedalboard 🤓
I assumed the price included the pedals you were going to use. Sheesh. :/
its look like an old typewriter case
Man! Flula has seen better days. What the heck happened to him here? Oh, yeah, nice board, too.
Flula?
@@EytschPi42 Flula Borg. Bad joke/harrassment. Sorry.
Heh, look at everyone bitching about the board because of the price and whatever stupid reason ("not practical", "I could get a bigger board for much less", yadda yadda and so on).
I can't afford it too, but I have understood that this board is The Shit, if you want the top of the class pedalboard.
I see countless of people with a Schmidt Array board, and if so many people, pro guitarists, session players have it than it can't be shit
It’s not shit it’s overpriced hugely!
And it's far too heavy
@@ianthomas4568 how is it over priced? Labor plus materials. The 2k paint finish alone is a 4-5 step process. You know nothing about the production process or costs. Your statement is utterly ridiculous. Maybe the words you are looking for are, “It’s not in my budget or I dont see the value in it for myself”
come on henning... an hour ago i finished my own first real pedalboard. an now? that....
I feel your pain.....
I would just Velcro stuff to the top of it and throw it away.
Funny how some people are still surprised that stuff made by craftsmen is pretty expensive. Then again I lie to my wife about how much my shotgun cost… hmm
Were you super sad that this year's Fyre Festival, like every Fyre Festival, was cancelled? Well, no worries, have we got a product that will take a nice chunk of that money away. Only this time you'll actually be able to Lord it over other people that you've spent stupid money on a product.
Invalid, i do not have to pay for one when i can ask someone who works with metal to do one for me for 250 euros more or less. Cause do you know how they made that pedalboard? With metal, and with someone who knows how to work metal and print and cut parts. Easy. Is just difficult for someone who knows nothing. When you do not have money easy ways to get things suddenly apears.
Hahahahaha
Holy shit, ridiculous shit, amazing shit, it should be called the Shit Array
worth it if you dont pay for it. not to mention you got 200 bucks in cables handed to you. 🙄
Trying to sell expansive stuffs to guitar players? Lol...
A pedalboord for rich lunatic people? Are you out of your freakin' mind???
Another ££££s to cut out for a wah, also the lid will not fit with some pedals sooo not that great really
Too expensive, and I hate boards that are pre-velcro'd for me, I have a velcro preference so this is just more work for me in the long run, maybe someone will love it, not at all my bag though.
$1,400, must be a joke
We see these with touring pros? Um no we don't lol. Pros use basic flat boards and hard road cases. The only people we see with these are youtubers. This board should not only have a hard road case included but that nice soft case as well
Hm, your chanel starts to be like TV homehopping. "Dauerwerbesendung" we call it in Germany 🙄
it has always been ads for products, from day one! But they are honest ads with real reviews and critique…. what else did you think it was?
What do you think other channels are? Even the ones that don’t label it “paid advertising” should label it and actually break the law by not doing so. I am just honest about it.
to avoid any misunderstanding, I do respect your honesty concerning making clear that your clips contain paid avertising. And I like for example your review about Digitech Trio + because of all the helpful information.
But I don't like this exuberant way of presenting, it reminds me of advertisement of the "nicer dicer"
And in my eyes it should be called "paid advertising" and not "contains paid advertising" .
Fine but important difference!
A little more stile and objectivity would be believable. 😉
@@EytschPi42 sadly, I completely agree with Oli-Oli, even though Henning makes several valid points. And this is my first “critical” comment on TH-cam in like 10 years. I usually like your videos a lot and appreciate your honest opinions. But this episode just seems way over the top. It is very easy to be super thrilled about a 1200€ pedalboard you got for free, and presumably most of your viewers can’t afford. I always took your videos as “payed honest and independent reviews”, this video came across like a flat out paid advertising on TV. I know the boards are top quality and super nice, but they are ridiculously overpriced… for what they do. Just my opinion…
Ridiculous
Way overpriced for something that's just plastic and metal. Only "furniture" worth over $200 is hard wood. What a rip off. You can get plenty fine boards for under 100. You not only can get a better pedalboard for less you could also get a road case and a few other things
B sheet...not practical and 2 expensive. 100% marketing. And finally the audience will give a fk if you play on that with expensive tube amp or a modeler
total rip off, its sprayed MDF and some basic non expensive electrics.
No it isn't. It is birch ply and stainless steel. I have one with a polished wood finish, so the wood grain is there for all to see. As for the price, I used to smoke 40+ cigarettes a day, average UK price £12.10 for 20 which works out at six weeks of smoking, now that's what I call a rip off, and I know what I'd rather spend my money on.
Yes I agree that it's expensive, and given the time, skill and money for the CNC machine, the spray booth, compressor and spray gun I could come up with a comparable product, but I didn't want to. I'm well pleased with my board, safe in the knowledge that it will outlast me!
@@harrysaunders6180 Birch ply isn't an expensive product, neither is stainless steel, see any cutlery drawer for that and any boxing in of pipes for the ply. it is a nice looking product but I maintain it is still a rip off amount they want for it. lets agree to disagree and move on.
Go on and now add your mums mate can make one for 25 bucks and it’ll be twice as strong and lighter and give you a reach around while you play wonderballs on stage in your bedroom.
@@JJohnson1340 well you didn't debunk how relatively cheap this is to make, my mother died 20 years ago andive made 3 full albums in the last 8 years, recorded in a pro studio with a producer. you can listen on Spotify, iTunes etc. I can send you a link. oh and we've been playing live for over 20 years, all original music too. my pedal board has a boost pedal, wah wah and a foot switch for my amp.
expensive shit !
