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 :)
Such a shame to see that despite all of Dan's beautiful work, the pedal board lid arrived with a dent in it. I can only guess that something with a sharp edge was dropped on the box during transit. I hope Paul wasn't disappointed. Otherwise, it looks like a fantastic board. I've never seen those small Isolator units before, are they a necessary item on all boards then?
Those isolator boxes (made by The Gig Rig) aren't cheap, but they're worth their weight in gold: you need the power supply for each pedal to be isolated from every other pedal, in order to reduce/eliminate noise - there are a couple of different brands that sell and all-in-one power supply unit, but The Gig Rig system is by far the best out of any I've used...
Nah, that would be the UPS guy and his baseball bat. As soon as I saw UPS I waited for something to go wrong, et voila, the inevitable dent. Fuck UPS. Really. Fuck em.
Every Schmidt Array I’ve bought - 4 now - has taken some amount of damage in shipping. It’s really frustrating. I wish they’d move to aluminum construction or something.
That seems to be the biggest weakness and is holding me back from a Schmidt Array. Then again there’s an option without lid, but does that then call for a Schmidt Array to begin with?
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.
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!
@@justinbouchard absolutely - I wasn't mocking it - I have spent a lot of money myself (though not 5k on a single pedal!). But with those pedals, you probably don't have a home-made Ikea board like mine!
@@justinbouchard all you really need is great clean sounding amp and great reverb 😄 . That is the most useful stuff. Of course, then you discover you need 2 or 3 overdrives, fuzz 😆 and soon you find out you want at least one great modulation effect , one great delay effect. And soon you want everything. But most of the time you can be so happy with just clean sound = your core tone and reverb. And maybe overdrive 🤣. If I had to choose just 3 pedals it would be reverb pedal, mild overdrive pedal and valve preamp. Most of the time I would use only clean preamp and reverb. And occassionally kick in some overdrive. Other pedals are only nice to have (for me).
I'm a fan of pre-dinged gear, as a certified clumsy schmuck, it takes all the pressure off me. Pristine gear gives me the willies. I find these pedalboard builds very calming, sadly my own effects smorgasbords look a lot more more like Paul's "before" scream inducing footage....
If you think building Paul Davids' pedal board is a challenge, spare a thought for Paul's mother. She has to knit Paul's extra fine jumpers to that nail that preppy, crisp Paul Davids look. She also has to trim his hair and beard to Paul's exacting requirements, or he bullies her and shouts loudly that he is tired of working with amateurs.
I doubt I'll ever be in a position to pick up the phone and say "ALL RIGHT DAN ME OLD FUCKER YOU WANNA COME BOARD ME 'TIL I'M NUMB", but I never frig around with my board without some bit of his advice and approach in the back of my mind. QMX all the way here, Gigrig was too much for me.
I'd really like to see how you did the midi in a bit more detail. Particularly, was it possible to connect the expression pedal to all the midi pedals via g3 and cc messages or was some other jiggery pockery needed? great to watch though :)
19:51 Actually looks like UPS or someone else along the way managed to put a small ding in the lid - no biggie but still - that first scratch or ding always hurts a bit :) Love the colour of that board though ... I believe thats the shade called "Ballsy Pink" ...
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 🙂
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.
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.
Hai Bro. I from Malaysia. Very good content. A lot I can learn from this video. Now I use 6 pedal plus 1 wah pedal. And, I 'm planning to add 2 more pedal. And definitely need to use pedal switcher.
Through the years I learned that spending money on utility, as unsexy it may seem, is the best thing you can do. At one point I just bit the bullet and got a CS12 as my power supply. It's big, heavy but it can handle everything I had thrown at it since. Hx Stomp - no problem, Whammy AC/DC 12V etc it just works. Same for tuners, noisegates, and everything that is best if you don't hear it.
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.
Came back to watch this only to notice the little dent when he opened it. Argh. I don't expect my gear to be perfect, but I want to be the one that does the wear and tear, shipping damage sucks.
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
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.
Fascinating, informative, and entertaining. But given that the board is almost too heavy to lift WTHOUT the pedals, and costs more than my car WITH them, I won't be emulating this project (it'd be hard to do anyway as I recently sold ALL my pedals and put the dosh into the Kemper/Helix/Fractal/Cortex range of goodies).
Just an idea for this shipping situation: to create cardboard boxes the size of each pedal and jab the plugs in the respective locations, prepared with small cut-out x-es. So the customer can easily replace each box by a pedal. I don’t know if it would survive the journey though.
Crazy board? Love the nod to Monty Python at the end! Can’t imagine having that much Sonic power at my disposal, or how long the learning curve would be? I’m sure Paul will put it to good use. Being able to isolate, create specific loops, change pedal order, and variably make signal path selections to my amps, without having to physically switch patch cables, is something I could definitely get behind…even with my ‘meager’ non-MIDI analog pedal collection! Though, again the learning curve scares me! 😳
Option paralysis, there's something cool about a good sounding guitar straight into a good sounding amp with some reverb. Multifx units - i just set them to one sound and forget about it, never mess around with it or even change sounds apart from clean vs drive.
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.
Would love to see a video talking about different pedal power requirements and solutions. From "standard" 9v to 18/24/120 etc and how to integrate them all into a single board. I have several vintage and boutique pedals with varying power requiremnets not only Voltage but current draw etc that a typical pedalboard PS doesnt always accomodate
How do you handle the power up procedure? By that I mean some pedals power up in bypass and some power up engaged. how do you account for this with out having to open the lid everytime
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..!
You should have tried to get that thinline tele back from Paul Dan! You had the best bargaining chip there! “Well I’ll build your board but it’s gonna cost you that Yellow Thinline beauty! 😜”
Hang on! Hey Paul ... what's that dent doing in the lid of the Schmidt Array (19:58)? This is too good a video to have that one reveal shot blemish it. Do you have another shot you could possibly insert? If not ... take another shot of just the hands lifting the lid. Post production. Everyone does it. Mebbe?
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.
Paul infuriates me. He plays impossibly difficult stuff on the guitar and it's obvious his heart rate never rises above like 20bpm. I try one of his "beginner exercises" and 15min later I'm down a guitar and have a new hole in my wall. I love the guy but damn, all these new holes... . Joking aside, bravo Dan! Bringing boards to the stars and the boardlesss.
The board itself is awesome! Well designed and well thought out. The completed project is quiet and clean with a dazzling pallet of sounds and is perfect for the studio, as intended. Hard to find anything wrong. However, Paul could buy an automobile for what it's going to cost him. But it's hard to put a price limit on acquiring the musical sounds you're looking for that free your mind from all technical concerns and allow you to be inspired to create great music.
Mick here. The implication is that an automobile is somehow 'better' or more worthy of the spend. Sure it's expensive, but cars are the biggest waste of money ever. Almost. :0)

Helix starts looking inexpensive. My used Pod Go looks crazy cheap! If I ever sell my camper I may build something approaching this. Well, maybe the camper and some more stuff.
12:01 Dan, what about Loctite blue on them? I've ridden enough single cylinder motorcycles in my life that I put a little bit of this in my mustache in the morning just to be sure my face doesn't come off.
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.
Super impressive! I've been doing pro audio/video and automation stuff for 30 years, and just thinking about wiring that board for 4 minutes gave me a headache! LOL!
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
20k pedalboard? dan, you have the patience of a saint, good on ya! ;) the most important pedal on my board is the 2" square loop switcher that bypass' everything straight to the amp.
Dan you'd have a fit with my board. It's got a raspberry pi with a USB to midi cable flopping about the place, some pedals aren't velcro'd. Oh and one of the feet fell off last week. Also one of the power plugs on the underside actually touches the floor.
Hey Dan!! I’ve been watching your show for quite a while. I’m just wondering what cable tie anchors you’d recommend? I’m planning a Schmidt Array Board and don’t want them all falling out. Thanks!
Dan, I think my System may be quite a bit more elaborate in that I'll need your help to figure out how to create and connect this in luxurious tonal complexity my Brother! CAN'T wait for the G3!! Let's talk. Blessings, Thomas Adams 11:11® CA USA
So Dan... Solder-less I'm personally a fan, as I'm an always changing stuff kinda peddle-boarder. but there's a certain breed of builder that regards them as less than professional and I wonder if you'd come in to bat for me here? The bone of contention is all about connections and I keep getting told that mechanical connection is inferior to solder.. I've been arguing the case that there are dozens if not hundreds of mechanical connections in any given setup. Pickup Selector. Jack/Socket. Foot-switch. Relays. PCB Socket/Plug. So the hand full of patch leads amounts to nothing in my mind. Is this correct? PS NASA uses both....

Case lid has a dent in it already. Money says that was the baggage handlers taking bets on how far they could throw it.
I spotted that. I thought maybe Paul paid extra to have it reliced. 😂
Oh yes!! what a nightmare. Bet it wasn't cheap either.
If it’s anything like (or as expensive as) a car, hopefully it can be pushed out

If you're wondering how much that Schmidt Array pedalboard costs, you definitely can't afford to have Dan build one for you.
If you have Klon, a KoT, and a load of Strymon & Chase Bliss, you're already probably moving in slightly different circles to us mortals...!

Okay, fine, I’ll pop every cable out and tighten them with pliers . WOW, those were lose! Thanks Dan!
the plane sounds took this video from an 11/10 to a 21/10
Hahahah
Helix starts looking inexpensive. My used Pod Go looks crazy cheap! If I ever sell my camper I may build something approaching this. Well, maybe the camper and some more stuff.
12:01 Dan, what about Loctite blue on them? I've ridden enough single cylinder motorcycles in my life that I put a little bit of this in my mustache in the morning just to be sure my face doesn't come off.
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 🤓🙏
Could have made cardboard models of each of the pedals… incredible board.
Super impressive! I've been doing pro audio/video and automation stuff for 30 years, and just thinking about wiring that board for 4 minutes gave me a headache! LOL!
How triggered was Dan when Paul showed him what he had on the floor??? I know I would be, my OCD fired up just seeing that!!!
On this build you speak of the number of midi pedals there are. Do you plan midi 'path / chain'? Thanks Mark
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
Dan's most complex assignment but only a 21 min long vid? ;)
Awesome as always! But also wondering how long the board actually took?
Paul & Dan. What a dream team, when combined with the world’s best pedal designers!! I feel lucky to observe this! Thanks for sharing.
20k pedalboard? dan, you have the patience of a saint, good on ya! ;) the most important pedal on my board is the 2" square loop switcher that bypass' everything straight to the amp.
Dan you'd have a fit with my board. It's got a raspberry pi with a USB to midi cable flopping about the place, some pedals aren't velcro'd. Oh and one of the feet fell off last week. Also one of the power plugs on the underside actually touches the floor.
Any recommendations for small DIN plugs? I know (and use) the switchcraft ones, but they are hard to get in Germany.
Warped Vinyl HiFi can do SO MANY THINGS. All analog goodness! A sleeper pedal for sure
Hey Dan!! I’ve been watching your show for quite a while. I’m just wondering what cable tie anchors you’d recommend? I’m planning a Schmidt Array Board and don’t want them all falling out. Thanks!
Dan, I think my System may be quite a bit more elaborate in that I'll need your help to figure out how to create and connect this in luxurious tonal complexity my Brother! CAN'T wait for the G3!! Let's talk. Blessings, Thomas Adams 11:11® CA USA
Great video folks..and if the part where the cartoon plane hits turbulence was a nod to the dent in the lid, I tip my hat to you.
So Dan... Solder-less
I'm personally a fan, as I'm an always changing stuff kinda peddle-boarder.
but there's a certain breed of builder that regards them as less than professional and I wonder if you'd come in to bat for me here?
The bone of contention is all about connections and I keep getting told that mechanical connection is inferior to solder..
I've been arguing the case that there are dozens if not hundreds of mechanical connections in any given setup.
Pickup Selector. Jack/Socket. Foot-switch. Relays. PCB Socket/Plug.
So the hand full of patch leads amounts to nothing in my mind.
Is this correct?
PS NASA uses both....
A pink Cadillac of pedalboards! Well done Dan!!
I haven't watched this video yet (I'm about to) but is it seriously even possible for this build to be more complex than Rabea's board build?
