My dream pedalboard
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 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.
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...
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
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 :)
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!
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 :)
oh hot damn, this is a very good board! Both the actual thing, the pedals on it, the tidy wiring, all so satisfying!
Absolutely fascinating. In awe of how you used the pedals and the music and soundscape you made. Wow
Holy moly that improv section was amazing you two. So beautiful and fun.
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 😂
So awesome. Congratulations on your first pedalboard build!
Thanks so much!!! It was a ton of work, but SO worth it!!
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
now that is what i call a custom neon sign
🤣
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!
Awesome setup. I love it when people share their gear
Thanks so much!!!
Wow... I am brazillian, and didn't know about this board. Nice to know.
Pretty amazing effects! It all sounds so beautiful! Thank you!
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!!
Wow. What a beautiful tapestry of sound you weave. Such a lovely dreamscape.
Thanks so much Garth!
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. 😍💜✌
'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!!! ❤🙂
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!
Also, that looks and sounds amazing. I don't play harp but I love your music and how you use effects.
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!
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 😒
Beautiful improvisation! Congrats on the new board! Cheers!
Thank you so much!!! 😊 cheers
Awesome video, nice explanation of why everything is routed the way it is too!!!
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!
Who knew harp players used pedalboards ?! I have be enlightened ! Thank you for sharing Emily - congrats on the new fun gear !
Been watching a lot of your vids/shorts and this piece was my favorite!
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.
Wow! Much harp! Such pedal! That's really well put together! Both the pedal board and the video.
Excellent sounds, video and great explanation of the pedals!!!!
Honest to god got goosebumps when the Dark Star kicked in. Wow. Sounds glorious!
Crazy sounds! Really love the Microcosm Hologram. ♥️
Thanks!!! The Microcosm is 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
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. 😀
This is my Favorite Emily video! You both are amazing! Your music makes me feel good! Bless you!
Thanks so much! 😊
Woah the board itself is super beautiful. Love the wood of it and all that.
bringing the harp into the 21st century with style sheesh awesome
Awesome board! The tunes played are gorgeous.
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!!
Truly hypnotizing sounds from that board!
Thanks!!!
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!
"It's got internal power. It's got jacks on the side. It's got boots with the fur. It's got everything" 🤣
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
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
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.
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 😊
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! 🎶
Ahh this is so incredible!! I love how your board turned out!
Thank you so much, Nicole!!!
✨✨✨Woah !! Thank you so much for the hard work//inspiration✨✨✨
This is an incredible setup. I have massive pedal envy.
Very educational. Thanks for the awesome walkthrough
Very cool, guys. Have fun 😁
This is awesome. That cable routing work is Herculean in itself. You're my favorite NASCAR drivers.
Empress compressor is AWESOME😍
Cool video and pedalboard! Thanks for turning me into the Red Panda Mixer
thanks for putting the pedal list in the description! cheers :)
Like plugging a harp into a modular synth. What an Awesome board!
Yes!!! I’m doing some modular stuff soon!!!
Those sounds made my brain so damn happy. Beautiful.
Unbelievably beautiful music, i could get absolutely lost listening to this! Well done!
Thanks Jeff!
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.
Wow,thanks you'll for starting my morning beautifully.👍
That is the coolest board I've seen in a while, quite possibly ever (beside my own maybe).😄
So happy to have found you through Rob Scallon! I'm a big fan of experimental music.
You rock dude!
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
emily's playing & russ' voice have instantly cured my insomnia thank you this is the best pedalboard rundown
My new favorite RUclips channel. So cool!!
Thats an amazing pedalboard! Great walkthru too!
Thanks so much, Andrew!!
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!
Chase bliss mood could be a great addition to that microcosm! Love the board
I love mood! I have a lot of fun with that one!
beautiful pedal board to match such beautiful instruments
Been following you folks since Emily started posting on fb guitar pedal groups, in hindsight a genius move! So delighted to see you and Emily getting traction online and now also getting some welcome corporate support I am sure! This was a terrific pedalboard rundown, regardless of instrument. Clearly, you both spent a lot of time and effort to get the results you wanted and it shows. Especially love the explanations and rationales for your choices as well as how you plan to manipulate the pedals.
One question though - prior to this gear notoriety, exactly what were you and Emily using in terms of gear to achieve the sounds you wanted? Or is this a completely new phase in Emily's musical journey, discovering how to leverage pedals normally considered as guitar tools?
Cheers and congrats!
Beautiful. ...love the walkthrough at the end.
The commenter voice 😆
What a lovely palette of colors to paint with!
Big fan of the staging (and not just gain staging), from the sequencing of Enzo, Thermae, and Microcosm, to how everything is mixed pretty low after When The Sun Explodes to avoid being overpowered. The always-on reverse setup is ingenious, as is the always-ready bass fuzz channel. And you touched on an interesting point which is that your favorite pedals may not be the ones that always work the best together to make a cohesive pedalboard instrument
oh my god, she does have the boots with the fur.
Lmfao you’re the best Noyd! The first one to catch the boots with the fur Easter egg 😂 thanks for your insightful comments on my videos, they mean a lot! And I can’t understate the importance of finding pedals that work well together, not just a big pile ‘o favorites!!! This video and the board took a TON of effort. Thanks for being here!!
Beautiful sounds and ambient feeling
Thank you !!!!
I made my board. I love your channel. Been telling all my students to visit.
Wow! So nice...Thanks Emily.
Thanks so much!!
That is one hellacious board. I'm loving the abundance of expression pedals y'all have there. It looks intimidating Russ did a good job explaining. Still scary to take it all in though.
Thanks Bailey!!! The expression roller in particular is so much fun!! It's all definitely intimidating, though, even for us sometimes!! hahaha
Wow… I absolutely love this board
08:12 I see that OG Nintendo Gameboy tucked up there. Lovely little pal.
It’s the best!!! I actually use it in my latest video hahah
WoW - such talented people !!!
Best of wishes .
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 board is mind bendingly amazing!
Thanks so much Alex!!
Ohhhh meu Deus, que fantástico!! I live in Brazil
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!!
hey Emily, I think I have just about built my dream board too and I just want to say, I loved this and the harp is my favourite instrument... REALLY PLEASED i CAUGHT THIS. Im subscribing X
Hey Michael!!! Building your dream board is such a good feeling!!! So much work went into mine, I’m sure the same went for yours too!!! 😊 thanks so much for being here on the channel!!!
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
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 ☺☺😎💯💖
Pretty sweet stuff. Nice run through, too!
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
So awesome. Great tones!
Thanks Cam!!
Interesting with the Red Panda mixer. You have some cool effects to blend together. I use the EHX Tri-Parallel Mixer to put all my modulation and sometimes random OD on to blend with my main signal. You look to be doing a similar pedal route just not in a loop setup, more like 3 chains+dry blended into one. SWEET!!
Not sure how I happened across you, but I’m sure glad I did. You are absolutely delightful 😊
Can't wait to start making something like this with the new board I ordered
