- Loads of pedals, a top-flight switcher and seven MIDI pedals on one board?! You bet…
Life too short for long TH-cam videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
Welcome to the video, Dan here, hello!
We were lucky enough to meet and hang out with the awesomely talented and charismatic Paul Davids at Thomann Gear University in 2019. If you're not familiar with Paul's work, please a visit here and get learned! / @pauldavids
Anyhoo, back there in Germany we began a conversation that culminated in this monster of a pedalboard build. Regular viewers will know that working with artists' rigs and pedalboards is central to everything I do in my main job at TheGigRig, and this was an opportunity to put all that experience to work.
Paul will follow up with a video on his own channel in due course, walking you through some of the sounds and his experiences so far. Please watch that space for more.
Meanwhile, enjoy this video!

Wow Dan, you've 100% pulled it off! I can not express how great it is to play with this board. The first time I turned it on I thought it wasn't working because it's so ridiculously clean sounding. It is so versatile that it's gonna take me some time to fully grasp all the possibilities I now have under my feet. G3 keeps on amazing me the more I dive in it, and it feels like my imagination is the limit - which is EXACTLY what I wanted. Thanks for the build Dan, there will be a video from my part as soon as I feel like I mastered the board. This isn't something I want to rush :)
That’s awesome mate, sooo glad you’re happy 👍😊 👍 hope to see you soon
Looking forward to the build and test video
19:48 is that ding?
Can’t wait to hear it Paul 🧐👌
@@smoochie3331 i know you saw it right?? a dent!!
As a UX (user experience) designer, 99% of this video could apply to almost any project. Brilliant job, Dan.
Cheers BK 🙏
I will NEVER. Never. NEVER. Grow tired of pedalboard builds. They're simply infinitely interesting. I must be delusional. I'm OK w/ that. I'd say this was your best board build video yet Dan!
Watching something like this, really tells us how hard you have worked on your craft Dan. It’s really quite impressive, should be very proud of all the hard work you’ve put in, this journey you’ve been on/are still on must be so fun and gratifying.
Thanks so much 🙏
This imitation of an airplane could have been featured in a Monthy Python sketch! I will never get bored of British sense of humor.
Every time I see Paul and you guys together, it makes my day. It's like when superheroes used to cross over in comics. Thank you, ill watch this many times and hope all of you and your families are doing great.
Cheers matey 🤓🙏
That entire rig is the best of the best, good for Paul for getting to a place in his life that he could build something like this. My favourite Uber board I have seen so far. Some people buy jewelry or cars but this is a guitar players dream.
Solderless cables are manifestly not 'the best of the best'.
I am fascinated by the way in which guitar youtubers relate to one another (socially, professionally, thematically, etc). As a fan, I just love the sense of community and connection across the different channels.
I believe the camaraderie can be felt, promoted and nurtured by anyone who has similar interests. It can be any kind of work or topic, but musicians seem to have an extra dose of it. Excellent observation, sir and thank you for making it even better.
its called marketing
@@abheceshabemuskk3531 cross-marketing AND entertaining!
You have no idea what *really* goes on. Vicious, ruthless.
I just love the sarcasm, cutting jibes and scathing abuse...
Just want to say that this video is perfect. The topic, pace, delivery, mood, build, detail, playing, editing, everything. It was a literal joy to watch, I escaped reality for a whole 21:42 in the same way I might have got lost in a good book.
Thanks so much 🤓🙏
Ah brilliant, more board build vids, it’s great watching a master at his trade at work, Dan you are a legend
You’re too kind 🙏
That Pedal Show Just the truth..!
Amazing! 2 people I love to watch and learn things from in the same place! I bet Pauls super excited for the amazing board he’s getting.
Paul & Dan. What a dream team, when combined with the world’s best pedal designers!! I feel lucky to observe this! Thanks for sharing.
This was amazing. I don’t typically watch Paul’s content but I can tell from this alone that all the work needed for this to be perfect for him was definitely done. I’m working on helping my wife get the things she needs to set up her pedalboard atm and you guys have been great help
Loving these pedal board builds. Wishing it was twice as long though.
I thought the same, but everything was covered and explained perfectly. If the video was longer it might have been filled with needless faff. Always leave them wanting more 🙂
@@tallalexander I hear ya but that's just me being greedy, plus I could listen to their faff all day long lol
Haven't even watched it yet and I feel cheated. How much rambling can ye do in 25mins?!?!
Maybe he hasn’t got the room for a longer board... 🙃
@@chrishepburn1503 - I could as well. I haven’t had chance to watch the last 5 episodes so I envisage a afternoon binge watching soon 😏
I love watching TPS pedalboard build videos! They always make me appreciate how truly simple my board is to put together and change up! 😄👍
Paul is incredible! Love the collaboration with TPS. 👍🏼👍🏼
Two of my favourite personalities on one video together!!! Two very inspiring people. Thanks for sharing this!!!!
I found Paul’s channel during lockdown. Love his videos. Very talented, funny and well produced. Cool to see this
I love the fact that dan and mick had nearly all the pedals Paul wanted. They probably have all the pedals ever.
No, that's Josh Scott.
@@samuelxavier2473 And he has the box :)
The board looks so good when loaded, all the pedals are awesome. Set up superbly , by Dan.
It makes me feel better to know that Paul does the same thing I do - get a new pedal and press all the buttons just for fun!
Cheers fellas. I love watching Dan do board builds like this. So much fun to watch him put everything together. More please.
Just beautiful work - can't wait to hear what Paul does with it!
I LOVE the pedalboard build videos!
Great job Dan!
My favorite show!!!! Thanks for the awesome content fellas.
Absolutely amazing !!
Dans jamming on the board once it’s “done” is my favorite playing of his I’ve ever seen. Admittedly I haven’t seen all of TPS, but I’ve seen enough to think, ”Damn, he’s exceptional here.”
That’s very kind, thank you 🙏 🤓
Paul is one of the true gentlemen of the community. I knew he had a big brain when it came to music, I guess he also understands tech as well.
Paul is one my favorite Guitar Players, Guitar Teacher extraordinaire, Video Image Whisperer, and his tones/melodies are among the best. Dan and Mick are also my favorite Guitarists, Tone Gurus and Teachers. Keep rocking to all. Live long and Prosper.
One of my favorite videos of y’all! Gotta love that Paul David’s Pink! 💖
This is like amazing. I’ve got a Friedman board waiting in the box,and tons of weird pedals. Thanks from the states😊👍🏿
I’ve built myself quite a few boards in my years and have a good knowledge of the subject. This is something unreal. Just doing everything through the G3 with the infinite amount of options, would stop me dead in my tracks. 7 midi pedals? And the G3? It’d probably take me at least a month to figure out the programming alone. And after watching Paul’s video of him using this board, I realized how insane the routing through the G3 actually is. Unreal board and in my top 3 boards I’ve ever heard. The sound that he gets is absolutely stunning. This is an expert X’s 20 build.
Good show, love it. Cool, thanks!!!
A glorious thing for sure!
Mind truly blown. Completely inspiring and logistically so NOW.
This was a lot of fun to watch!
Looking forward to Paul's video 🤘
My gosh what a great piece of work
Brilliant build and video. You guys (and Paul!) are great. Cheers.
The plane's engine failure had me shook!!
Vids like this are what i love about this channel!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸
love all mentioned in this video..Paul Davids, TPS, gigrig, holland, schmidt array, the pedal selection is like a marvel land...and who better to talk to you about a pedal board build than Dan?!?..thank you for this video..!
Ah, cheers Juro, you’re most welcome 🙏
Wow! I love this guy!!
This was great. I look forward to part 2.
Really cool to see a pedalboard bild again !! It would be soooo great to have a detailed explanation of how you set all the midi's in that board. That board is just awesome
Board looks and sounds amazing!
Great build Dan, looking forward to Paul’s reassembly !
These board builds are my ASMR videos! Great stuff as always.
A pink Cadillac of pedalboards! Well done Dan!!
Wow, that reverb is amazing!
Love the show, thanks for sharing! I have been struggling because I want one pedalboard to rule them all!
Loved the airplane bit… “And now for something completely different!”… brilliant!!
Loved it! Good job.
Gorgeous board, blown away 👍🏻
the plane sounds took this video from an 11/10 to a 21/10
Hahahah
Dan’s genius at it’s best here… Amazingly awesome!!!
Cheers mate 🙏
I love the TH-cam guitar community and how you all interact.
Great stuff👍
Cheers mate 🤓🙏
Fantastic. Top geezer.
What a beautiful job!!
Videos like this are like crack for me. Well done. Genius build, genius player, genius all around.
I'm always impressed by the quality of workmanship on your builds, Dan. Even if you put it on scrap lumber, your stuff would still be miles ahead of pretty much anybody else's.
Cheers mate 🤓🙏
That plane bit was hilarious, thank you!
Inspired tones and playing! Great episode! 😀
Dan got the best rig build philosophy 💯⚡🧡
Loved the pedalboard airship!
Paul's ''setup's'' cable routing makes the baby Fluff cry.
Looking forward to Pauls video so we can hear him play it. Great work Dan.
What an incredibly detailed well filmed informative clip.
Great episode. Thanks for the inspiration. Because Tone!!!
Cheers mate 🤓🙏
Work. Of. Art!!!
🤓🙏
This is very similar to what i want my board to eventually look like ,so nice to have a visuial
Wonderful work Dan! After many years of watching your (and Mick's and all TPS crew) videos, using G/R gear I always learn something new with each video. Thank you. BTW I'm loving your hats :)
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEDAL BOARD IN SOUND ..! GOD BLESS YOU! I REALY LIKE!IT
Okay, fine, I’ll pop every cable out and tighten them with pliers . WOW, those were lose! Thanks Dan!
OH NO! When Paul opened the lid..... There was a ding in the top of the lid!!!!!! AARRGGGH. THE BOARD is BEAUTIFUL though and I LOVE IT. Dan does amazing work. I just got a Schmidt Array myself and I LOVE it.
I can't speak for anyone else but Gigrig did a fantastic job on SA board build, can't thank Jake and the lads enough ! Worth every penny
Looking foreward to Pauls video with his new board!
The airplane sound effects made my night 😄
1. Great vid. Well done
2. Way more board than most of us will ever need.
2. Numbers are insanely hard.
Love board build vids!!! And that pink board 🎉🎉🎉
Currently planning my long term big board as well as a secondary smaller jam night board!!
Absolutely killer!
Thanks Ricardo 🤓🙏
Life goals.
You are using your most soothing voice for this tutorial.
Paul deeeefinitly got that TH-cam money! This is SICK
The MIDI side of this is pretty sick!!
Excellent video!
Really informative video Dan, thanks!
🤓🙏
Awesome pedals guys
I think all the gents in "It Might Get Loud" would enjoy this board.
As someone whos been building, modding and of course using guitars, amps and guitar pedals for a long time ive got quite a few pedals that i want to FINALLY put on a couple boards. One board for the front of amp stuff and one for the Fx Loop stuff. I whole heartedly can appreciate the importance of planning these boards out. Ive gotten away with just bringing along a few pedals when i go jam outside my house but at home im constantly zip tying cables in order to keep my 15 or so "in the signal chain" pedals still (a horrible practice but im good at a few things which make poor cable management....er.... managable. Those things are soldering, finding faults and when those two skills fail, hiding new patch cable purchases from my girlfriend). But its time i grew up and did this thing the right way. Ive got the skills and the drive, im just waiting for *the time* and *the money* to catch up lol. But in all seriousness i just finished a Chasm Reverb build and im almost done with the enclosure so as soon as thats done the next project is the pedal boards. Great board and tips as always Dan!
This is a GREAT pedalboard, but definitely not an affordaboard! LOL
19:49 Looks like the cover took a hit on the top (right side)
Great video and job, thank you for sharing.
The airplane simulation was incredible!
looking forward to Paul's assembly video
Judgning by the flight animation, I think I've flown on Pedalboard Airlines before.
Nicely done! Maybe one day I'll try out a M1D1 board, it seems like the way to go!
Definitely had fun with the animations on this one...
Definitely a bucket list things is to have you build one my boards.
SAME
Awesome cameo from @petecottrell as an UPS guy at 19:08!!
More vids like this, please! Never saw one of those boards where the cover wasn't dented.
This great, but too short! I love a good one hour episode on the weekend.
