The World's Largest Guitar Pedalboard (world record)

post rock be like: "yeah, just the essentials"

Me: has an overdrive button in my amp

And after hours of trying all of those pedals, he took the cheapest one home. Imagine how the sales person feels at the guitar store.

I love all the different manufacturers being confused over each others' pedals or straight up bullying them

When you build a pedal board so big that you summon Alex Lifeson

Yeah I’m in an 8 person band. I play guitar and the other 7 control my 319 pedals.

This pedal board is the embodiment of shoegaze. Thx Rob.

The final gig actually sounded really enchanting. The wide range of effects made it sound like we were going on an auditory adventure.

Stay tuned for Rob Scallions next video: The Worlds Largest Electric Bill.

You can really hear the guitar's tonewood through that chain.

alternate title: dude in a beanie teams up with 50 other people to try to summon kevin shields

"I'm running this through my tube amp. It just sounds better."

"And ... all of them on!" Well, now we all know what hell sounds like.

“I think you should mic every cab” Sound guy: explodes

There was an experiment where a large audience was given big cards of different colors to hold up or lay down. They spontaneously made complex, synchronized patterns. I wonder what would happen if a concert audience could all get a phone app and dynamically alter the music dynamically.

I love how after a certain point no more input is necessary. The sound becomes self-sustaining. It's like the signal chain achieves self awareness and is just screaming. Also: Somehow I doubt this is where they went with this... But if it were me and they have a physical storefront, I would line the floorboards with these pedals in the sales room so that customers could plug up and check any combination of effects they're interested in buying. Have some direct hands on demos to prompt sales. It's one thing to try a pedal in a vacuum, but to be able to say "well I already have X Y and Z pedals, how does the corporatron soundamajig box work with them?" that would lead to some inspiration and impulse buys.

its like a wine tasting, just like "oh yeah i can hear the synth pedal in there somewhere, and is there a hint of, dare i say... an octave shifter?

if you have the most pedals at once in the world, you will summon alex lifeson

I feel like Rob is one of the few people on YouTube who doesn't need to fake their thumbnails - no photoshop, just massive effort

The first time I watched this video I didn’t even realize they had a light show going. I was so awestruck by how many and how expensive it was. Watching it again and experience the whole thing it felt like going through a chill wormhole that slowly warps into something psychedelic. Then all of a sudden you are dropped down into a nightmarish hell scape of a dimension as your ears slowly adjust and hear all of the agony and screams of the tortured damned as you slowly go mad and the sound of hell changes ever so slightly. And then you suddenly burst awake with dreadful buzzing in your ear and you can’t tell what is going on but every time you close your eyes you see the nightmare you just woke up from and hear the congealed sound of pain, agony and hundreds of tortured souls lashing out. Was this all for real or just some kind of hell? This was an unforeseen future nestled somewhere in time, welcome, to the Twilight Zone.
