The Lafayette Cr. shredders are clamoring for the story of how 80s rigs became a thing. The Birth of the Effects Rack? I would love a reason to research and talk more about Landau. 🤔
Thanks, Brant! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The players aren't as rock centric as the last one, but it's still interesting history on the gear side of things that hasn't been talked about too much.
Great video, really enjoyed the audio visualizer too. Very engaging throughout and my wife also enjoyed over my shoulder. So that should count as two views and likes!
Ha! Thank you both. I appreciate yall. Yeah the audio visualizer required a couple of After Effects tutorials but I got it in the tool bag now. It could come handy if you want to hire me for a lyric video down the road. 😜
They had LEDs in 1975? I was born in 1989 and don't remember ever seeing an LED anywhere until I was probably 10 years old. I had no idea they were on pedalboards back then.
After reading your comment, I had to Google when LEDs were invented. 😂 1962. It’s crazy that to have LEDs on your board back in ‘75 it was a custom job. Thanks for watching and leaving a fun comment.
@@tonecast1 Technology sometimes just hangs around until someone smart enough decides to utilize it. You know the whole "blue spike" issue with screens hurting your eyes? That was solved like 5 years ago. They're called tri-phospher LEDs. And the fact that tech companies haven't started using them is very odd. Maybe its a conspiracy -- screen keeps pumping out blue light > keeps user awake > engages with ads more > make more money
Didn’t know about tri-phosphorous LEDs. Interesting. It seems a majority of companies are primarily motivated by making money. If instituting a change doesn’t make (or save) the manufacturer money, it likely doesn’t happen.
Excellent follow up! I knew of most of these guys, but a couple are new to me. I didn't know Paul Rivera was big into building pedalboards that early. I am hoping for a follow up on the early 80's rigs next!!!
Did you know already know about the bassist? Buell Neidlinger? I thought you’d be intrigued by a bass player pedalboard from ‘76. An 80s pedalboard history that gets into Bob Bradshaw’s building would be a logical follow up. I haven’t done the research on that yet. I think that period of racks really intrigues a lot of players.
Given the Zappa connection, I thought you might've known about him. He was knew to me too. I've listened to a healthy amount of David Grisman so I may have heard him before but just didn't realize it was him on bass.
Jim has done it once again!! Keep it going! Give us the 80s!!!!

the "inline transformer" alone is worth a sub
Autobots roll out. 😜
Another great one! Cool to have a part two to this.

Really interesting, knowledgeable, well researched videos. Thank you!

@@tonecast1 you're hired, when can you start!? I'll even let you set your own hours 😉

Great video!! Enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Glad you enjoyed it, Carson! Gotta share what we learn. Looking forward to a Nordvang video from you soon!
