My dream pedalboard

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ส.ค. 2024
- Three years and hundreds of effects pedals later, I finally built the perfect pedalboard for my harps!
Russ and I have been working on this pedalboard build for MONTHS. So much time, research, trials, and troubleshooting went into this build, and I'm really happy with the results!
This video isn't intended to be a big flex or anything, like "oh look at my expensive board that you don't have!!111one" .. This board includes all of my favorite pedal combinations in one place, and I'm hoping it can be a really helpful resource for anyone who finds inspiration in any of the ideas or elements within it.
I designed this pedalboard around both of my harps -- my Camac pedal harp and Dusty Strings lever harp -- so that it can be used interchangeably with either harp.
Thank you so much to Perfect Circuit for sponsoring this video, and for sending me the Red Panda Mixer & Strymon Zuma! Check out more gear available now at Perfect Circuit!

As a doom and black metal guy, this board is pretty intimidating lol but it is set up amazingly! What you guys do is incredible! The board is almost an instrument in itself and that is so cool to me! Keep it up!
If you like this, the band Godspeed you! Black emperor has sounds similar to this..
You should integrate some of these pedals into your doom stuff. You’d probably be into post-metal stuff too.
Check out the 1312 pedal from black mass electronics
Why? Alot of doom artists have huge boards look at boris lol
That escalated quickly! Lovely board.
Thanks so much Hainbach!!! That means so much coming from you 😊
Emily Hopkins / Hainbach collaboration, when? That would be one of the greatest collaborations of all time.
Wonderful to see you here too!
Honestly - creator crossovers bring me not only joy, but also hope that given a chance - so many amazing things are not only possible, but inevitable!
Yes, i did discover your channel thanks to Hainbach. But the use of traditional instruments to do amazing effects is just what i always wanted. i'll probably still record through soviet spy recorders sometimes though.
I am musically illiterate, but deeply enjoyed this entire video. The detail, the breakdown of everything, the way you talked about it made a technical topic very easy to enjoy! Also I love the way you make sounds wiggle like they're moving underwater or through space or between time. It's very floaty and relaxing 💕
I could legit just listen to hours of harp play with these pedals... It's just a beautiful ambient sound
Oh my god from the 5:00 it sound so mesmerizing and beautiful. Something touched my heart at this moment and I remember as I listened Andreas Vollenweider for the first time as a child...
Hey Emily Hopkins and Russ! Thanks Russ for the clear description of the pedals and layout on that board! Thanks Emily for the nice audio! It's soothing like sonic meditation! Ride ride ride!
Ride Ride Ride!!!! Thanks for being so great, Eric M! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
i love how in depth this is, you two are a great duo
Thank you SO much!! I really appreciate it haha we have a ton of fun making these videos
Thank you so much for explaining the signal path, the reasons why, and also explaining exactly what you're doing when you're tweaking! Some of these pedals are so complex (I have the microcosm, and Dark Star) and it's a science to even understand how to GET the sound we hear in our head! Great video, thank you!
oh hot damn, this is a very good board! Both the actual thing, the pedals on it, the tidy wiring, all so satisfying!
Been watching a lot of your vids/shorts and this piece was my favorite!
At one point I just closed my eyes and enjoyed the music. Really touching.
That really makes me smile, Vinicius!! Thanks so much for being here :)
Awesome setup. I love it when people share their gear
Thanks so much!!!
Holy moly that improv section was amazing you two. So beautiful and fun.
I've watched a lot of effects YT videos over the past year, and this is the best setup I've seen. Appreciate the level of detail and clear labelling/directions in your demos.
thank you so much, Mark!!! We try our best to make everything as clear as possible, and I'm so glad it comes across that way!!! :)
yeah i've watched ages & eons of YT vids too n i've never found such a stellar setup
Absolutely fascinating. In awe of how you used the pedals and the music and soundscape you made. Wow
I feel so excited for you! We all love getting new toys :) This is SO awesome, Emily. You sound amazing as always!! Very cool that Russ goes through and maps out the pedal routing for us.
Hey Pig in Boots!!! It's always so nice to hear from you :) I hope you're well! This was so much work but it's maybe the most rewarding video for us!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
dumb 😒
Amazing, I’ve been searching for a long time to find usefull vids regurding pedal setups and workflow. Thank you so much and make more vids like this please. 😍💜✌
Too cool for words. The vibe alone on this board is amazing, and the sounds you create from it are out of this world. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much, Liam!!! I really appreciate it. A TON of work went into this board, and it really paid off!!
Pretty amazing effects! It all sounds so beautiful! Thank you!
Wow, that is nuts. Appreciate Russ' deep dive and explanation for each pedal and why it's included. It's clear that this board has been put together after much careful thought to its use-case. It has everything you need and nothing that you don't. Having said that, I have a feeling that this will not be the last iteration - or indeed the last board you put together. There's always scope for a smaller, more manageable board for additional / alternative effects. Nice job!
Wow, this board is an absolute dream! Very well thought out and it sounds incredible. And shoutout to Russ for the rundown, that was fun!
Thanks so much!!! It was a ton of work to make, but I’m so happy with the result!!! Russ is a mad scientist 😂
Wow. What a beautiful tapestry of sound you weave. Such a lovely dreamscape.
Thanks so much Garth!
Also, that looks and sounds amazing. I don't play harp but I love your music and how you use effects.
Awesome video, nice explanation of why everything is routed the way it is too!!!
Wow! Much harp! Such pedal! That's really well put together! Both the pedal board and the video.
'Gratz on the stuff! Wonderful to see this channel grow, and wonderful to be along for the ride!
Thanks so much for being here!!! It means so much you've been hanging on the channel for so long!!! ❤🙂
So awesome. Congratulations on your first pedalboard build!
Thanks so much!!! It was a ton of work, but SO worth it!!
Honest to god got goosebumps when the Dark Star kicked in. Wow. Sounds glorious!
Excellent sounds, video and great explanation of the pedals!!!!
Your personality is so Awesome. It’s so cool to see you be yourself and not try to be someone else. So refreshing. And lastly, your also an amazing harp playrr
Thanks SO much Matthew! I really appreciate you!
Who knew harp players used pedalboards ?! I have be enlightened ! Thank you for sharing Emily - congrats on the new fun gear !
Today I fell in love. The music that she improvises from 4:25 on is breathtaking. It's been a long time since I heard something so beautiful and also one of the most mesmerising things I have ever heard.
And so much emotion. This was something from another world. Wow.
Woah the board itself is super beautiful. Love the wood of it and all that.
Really beautiful board (love the pistons!) and such clean explanation for routing. Russ' finger-pointing game is on point because it helped me understand the routing perfectly haha
Thanks so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed this haha thanks for being here on the channel!
✨✨✨Woah !! Thank you so much for the hard work//inspiration✨✨✨
Cool video and pedalboard! Thanks for turning me into the Red Panda Mixer
Awesome board! The tunes played are gorgeous.
My brother surprise visited me and he's watching with me! He's loving it. My brain needed these sounds. And it was a awesome to be share it with my brother.
OMG YESSSS have fun with your bro!!! Thanks to both of you for watching; you guys are the best!! 🥰💖
@@emilyharpist I'm always excited for a new video! Icing on the cake that I get to hang out with my brother. Love you guys!
Beautiful improvisation! Congrats on the new board! Cheers!
Thank you so much!!! 😊 cheers
emily's playing & russ' voice have instantly cured my insomnia thank you this is the best pedalboard rundown
This is my Favorite Emily video! You both are amazing! Your music makes me feel good! Bless you!
Thanks so much! 😊
Excellent selection of quality effects! Truly a modern board. You should probably get a mini phase 95. This stuff does subtle magic and does not take a lot of space (or mA). Cheers!
My new favorite TH-cam channel. So cool!!
A beautiful well thought out board. Love the reverb on the plus pedal loop, and the red panda mixer is genius.
Thanks so much!! So much time and trials went into it and I’m so glad that it came out so good!!
wow you've got a great persona for these types of review videos - very authentic! Nice! Also a big fan of the avalanche run
Thanks so much! Avalanche Run is AMAZING
One of best of so many excellent videos. This is essentially a how to perfectly ambient with today’s pedals. Fuzzy bass notes on outro are heavenly.
Thank you so, so much!!
Wow... I am brazillian, and didn't know about this board. Nice to know.
Thanks Emily and Russ for all your hard work,sure is helpful for harp players,,also, my friend, the owner of Dusty Strings harps told me he liked the whammy bar on a harp idea that you had..lol...I said Ouch for the Dusty Crew watching it!! Big Hugs from Canada.. TuxedoDeb
This is awesome. That cable routing work is Herculean in itself. You're my favorite NASCAR drivers.
Wow,thanks you'll for starting my morning beautifully.👍
Those sounds made my brain so damn happy. Beautiful.
thanks for putting the pedal list in the description! cheers :)
This is an incredible setup. I have massive pedal envy.
Very educational. Thanks for the awesome walkthrough
Crazy sounds! Really love the Microcosm Hologram. ♥️
Thanks!!! The Microcosm is SO GOOD!!
bringing the harp into the 21st century with style sheesh awesome
That is the coolest board I've seen in a while, quite possibly ever (beside my own maybe).😄
Unbelievably beautiful music, i could get absolutely lost listening to this! Well done!
Thanks Jeff!
Wow...just a short while ago u were trying your first pedals on harp...look at u go now girl...!🤘😁🎸🎶☮️❤️....love it..my board is gigantic too ..full and a cabinet full of sonic inspiration to play around with..always adding to my collection....time I start subtracting though..lol..😂.. awesome board sounds amazing
Emily, it never ends! LOL My board right now is very good for what I do musically for now, but who knows! Well I also have a Line 6 DL4 mk 1 I know that's getting replaced with the Mk2! Aww catching up on your videos again, been writing a lot for a new project. This looks like a great set up! Russ seeing your hands manipulating pedals! This is amazing!
Not even 1/5 into the video, I had a laugh and a chuccle, had a really bad day, thx for straightening my head out. - all you need is sound/vibarion. I love you guys
Beautiful. ...love the walkthrough at the end.
WoW - such talented people !!!
Best of wishes .
I made my board. I love your channel. Been telling all my students to visit.
Ahh this is so incredible!! I love how your board turned out!
Thank you so much, Nicole!!!
Very cool, guys. Have fun 😁
I’ve been watching your pedal videos for awhile now, listening to your explorations of sound, and can understand your choices for a board. Yes, too many pedals can paralyse creativity. What’s on this board could keep you going for a lifetime …. I have just started selling off my excess pedals, so when I get to the point of unbearable loss, I shall stop and make my final board for playing through.
I love your videos because the harp through a pedal sounds to me closer than an electric guitar to what an acoustic guitar would sound like. And hearing your pedal board while I'm putting the finishing touches on my own is serendipitous timing indeed. Finally, Perfect Circuit is the best! I've bought many, if not most, of my pedals there. They have an awesome selection, always give great advice, and are completely deserving of all the business they can get.
WOW. you're incredible. A friend just introduced me to your channel...where have you been all my life haha. I'm a piano/synth player who uses pedal boards for this kind of stuff... I have the micro (plus half a dozen others not on here), but SO KEEN to look into that Enzo. Meris have amazing stuff. Such a lovely board - well done!
"It's got internal power. It's got jacks on the side. It's got boots with the fur. It's got everything" 🤣
So happy to have found you through Rob Scallon! I'm a big fan of experimental music.
You rock dude!
Hi Ms Emily ☺😘💖 That is a True World of Wonder There.. Awesome Board and Effects Choices and Your Playing is Superb as Always and Excellent Demo Congrats and Enjoy ☺☺😎💯💖
Yay more Emily love your videos ,plus the one you have so much fun doing , lol just keep making colorful music sound scapes to take me away on Friday nites love ya ❤️
you know what i stumbled across one of your videos a few days ago, never seen you before. and i swear i heard the characteristics of the old blood noise endeavours dark star. i absolutely love it aye, you just know when it's in the chain even if you don't see it - it's got this compressed ambience i couldn't recreate with any amount of verbs in a chain. one of a kind
Truly hypnotizing sounds from that board!
Thanks!!!
Not sure how I happened across you, but I’m sure glad I did. You are absolutely delightful 😊
Oooh what a board!!! It is not only a Pedalboard it is somehow a" passive Instrument". Amazing!
That’s a really great way to put it!! Thanks so much 😊
Pretty sweet stuff. Nice run through, too!
Wow… I absolutely love this board
My wife and I have been doing your ‘you tube pedal comment guy’ voice at each other for no joke 3 full days now. What a gift.
HAHAH omg thank you so much for telling me this Darren because you seriously made my week!!! 😂❤️ Russ and I were cracking up reading this comment because we do the same stuff and have the weirdest, most niche inside jokes
Watching you go through the process of 'playing' the pedal board makes me quite emotional.
Beautiful sounds Emily, and masterful control of this rather extraordinary (and enviable) collection of pedals.
It's so wonderful to see and hear a Harp put through a board like this when 90% of pedal demos are done by men with guitars. As a pedal loving Cellist, I'll definitely be saving my pennies to get some of this gear.
Wonderful stuff. x
now that is what i call a custom neon sign
🤣
Congratulations on the new board! I've been working on a "studio overdub" board the past week or so. My band is booked to do some recording soon so I'm trying to put together a board that compliments the tones of my main rig for the double/triple/quadruple tracking of the rhythm guitars and also achieves some white hot/molten lava type lead tones. The last time we were in the studio I felt like I didn't bring enough pedals so I'm working on rectifying that situation. 😀
Wow the run down is sweet. I can tell y’all have thought it through and really understand how the pedals play together. I’m still working on getting my pedals to play well together
WOW look at that blue concert harp ! it is so beautiful !...My former partner Amy ( Sabine Silver ) plays her harp through effects , she gets a psychedelic soundscape similar to Emilys . Thankyou for this post , very cool.
That is such a cool way to use the Plus pedal…I have to look into that. I have a giant mega board that I have set up for various instrument inputs going through crazy effects but I need to add in a switcher system since I don’t have a Russ! 🎶
Powerfull and beautiful, thank you for this experience of sound 👽
Your attitude to pedalboards is not only very exciting, but also very encouraging, (said as an average guitarist building a gigantic pedalboard). I love that you use effects with what's generally considered a very traditional instrument. Total kudos to you! Goodonya!!
Empress compressor is AWESOME😍
Wow! So nice...Thanks Emily.
Thanks so much!!
I love Perfect Circuit! I get some of my modular synth gear from there. I'll have to use your link next time I get something from there.
That is a very visually AND aurally pleasing board congrats! I think yall could team up with animators to make fun content because both you and Russ got great cartoon voices you bust out occasionally!
Can't wait to start making something like this with the new board I ordered
Love that "Custom Neon Sign" almost as much as the ones that say "REPAIR" in the shape of a shoe.
You've entered my top all time fave channels along with Friesian Horses, Nile Wilson & Rick Beato.
I liked the one that you made at the intro. Please make more soundscapes like that
I will definitely try! The full intro track is up on my bandcamp!
beautiful pedal board to match such beautiful instruments
Beautiful sounds and ambient feeling
Thank you !!!!
No Boss Metal Zone??
Haha, seriously that sounded amazing. Listening to you play was a beautiful way to start Good Friday!
Like plugging a harp into a modular synth. What an Awesome board!
Yes!!! I’m doing some modular stuff soon!!!
