Ed didn’t need to do this. He’s such a nice dude, he’s there supporting the technicians and designers that help make his sound. WHAT A LEGEND

@@xx05jurtossure, but there’s a thing called endorsement, it’s been a part of musical equipment sales for over a century. Any musician that says “I play this” sell more stuff. I’m highlighting Ed’s love of the equipment and people that make it, without him playing the endorsement pay cheque game, which many artists will do.

I look at it as nsm the number of pedals, but the number of knobs.If it has a digital read out, or has saved pre sets , I'm probably not going to use it, - outside of a studio, anyway. As far as portability goes, I discovered that several small boards are better than the monstrosities on several levels.From a purely logical viewpoint, it makes zero sense to cram all those sensitive electronics in one heavy space.The other upside is that you can insert volume pedals and wahs in between the boards,- again, both of which make no sense to put on the board.

Its almost as if the songs are the most important part 😂
Thanks for the reference to “I’m In Love With A German Film Star”. Nice to know it influenced you when you were 14! FYI it was recorded at Polydor Studios, Stratford Place, Oxford Street, London by in-house engineer Peter Wilson in late 1980. I used a ‘62 Fender Jaguar through a Roland Jazz Chorus 120 amp, Morley swell pedal and Maestro Echoplex unit. I multi-tracked it to 3 stereo channels. No other effects were used except for the amp’s inbuilt chorus and a vocoder triggered by the bass drum. The name of the band was The Passions and it went top 25 in February 1981. Cheers, Clive Timperley.

Brilliant!!!! I love and appreciate Ed sharing how he creates such a beautiful soundscape!!!! You can hear the passion in everything he says!!!! Thank you
I was in the same class as Dan, in year 6 when he was in Australia. Such a spin out to see him in the UK, working with one of my music heroes 42 years later!
Such a humble man, an absolute gift to have him share his time and knowledge with us thank you for making this happen again!!!
Ed seriously does bring on that aural ambience in Radiohead. That solo album of his is... wow. I'm extremally excited for the 2nd one. Awesome video.
The 3 of these(now) are gold for us Radiohead freaks who also are gear freaks as well. Ed’s such a great guy
I learn so much from the videos with Ed. Incredible knowledge.

Question: how many are there? I’ve seen the Pedal Show one and now two of these. Are there more? Thanks!
I've always admired Ed for being in one of the most popular and influential bands to ever exist, yet he seems like he could walk the streets and no one would bat an eyelid. You could imagine bumping into him on a dog walk and chatting as the dogs sniff each other, or shooting the breeze outside the school gates as you wait to pickup the kids. Even fans would probably rather hang out than rush straight into asking about string gauges and amp settings (I presume) because he might answer your questions, but you'll never hang out again. He gets the best of both worlds in that respect: on Tuesday he rocks out in Osaka to 60,000 fans screaming his songs, and on Wednesday he casually strolls round Iceland picking up Turkey Drummers and no one bothers him. He also seems like he's got change for the toilet, would let you go in front of him if you only had a few items and he had a trolley full, and gives way for drivers during rush hour.

I remember having a decent view of Ed's effects board when I saw Radiohead in 2018 and realized that half of his guitar parts memorization must've been focused on his feet rather than his hands.
Speak for yourself, Ed! I knew exactly what I was doing with my gear at age 25, back in 1993. I had a Rickenbacker 330, an Epiphone Emperor F, an Ampeg VH-140C stereo 2x12 combo, and a string of Boss pedals, the HM-2 Heavy Metal, EH-2 Enhancer, PN-2 Tremolo/Pan, CE-3 Chorus, PS-2 Digital Pitch Shifter/Delay, and RV-2 Digital Reverb. That was my rig for Dear Dark Head.
Yes, yes, absolutely , yes yes, definitely, totally, beautiful , yes, yes, I love that, yes, amazing, simply amazing, yes
I could listen to Ed for hours. Such a relaxed guy.
This is great because you are revealing to us what some of the pros use and how they are using it! If not for you, we wouldn't have this peek into Ed's or Noel's etc pedalboard processes and gear. Very interesting and inspiring! Thanks Dan!

I'm *guessing* it's because Dan likes to keep GigRig-heavy videos away from TPS to prevent it coming off as an advertisement. Surely, regular viewers wouldn't think twice about that being a conflict, but I get the sense that they're hesitant to mix the two out of abundance of caution! :)
Thank you both for the support - it means a great deal

@@nocode881increased demand and preorders for the 636P should allow us to invest in our manufacturing and develop a less expensive version (something we’ve wanted to do for a long time). Running a UK business employing 12 people and training a new generation of techs (and giving them time to develop new ideas) is expensive. I would much prefer to be in a position where we can charge less for our products and see them in more people’s hands.

I wonder if the Microcosm was the watershed moment where pedals, for the first time, did too much. We all bought them and revelled in that mosaic mode etc. but is it really your own music? Ed going back to basics with simple, functional pedals to make way for the player’s expression makes me wonder if many others are doing the same….

Always a pleasure listening to Ed talk about pedals
U2 were reassuringly loud. I also saw Radiohead in a pub in 1992 and then on Pablo Honey tour.They were nice and heavy. Stay loud.
I did not want this to end. Wonderful, friend!
Ed O’Brien is pure class. What a homie.
can't wait to hear it in action!
Beautiful build! I love watching these 😊
This is so excellent. Thank you to all involved.
This is really what i needed today. Thanks Ed!
Awesome! Great job Dan!!
Absolutely fantastic video guys, thank you, very much
Amazing work! And so generous of Ed to take the time to be a part of this! And wow what a board!
Never get bored of watching build rigs Dan.
My dream is to see an episode of TPS with The Edge 🙌🏻
Two legends right here. Loved this.
Best content I have seen in a very long time. Thanks for taking the time and care to put it out, Dan!
How cool to get to hear Ed giving an insight into his sound journey!
Really classy board love the vibe. Push those amps!
Killer board!!! Also always get excited when I have pedals he has chosen. 😮
I truly don't know how you keep your shit together talking to Ed (or any of his bandmates), what goes through your head when playing guitar in front of him? I'd burst 😁💥
Oh man this is cool. Listening to Ed is just epic.
Well... that was amazing!
Dan is a man of many hats, whether it be the Benson & Hendrix porkpie via TPS, or in this case, the trucker’s cap of sage sonic sorcery. 👍
Love this video Ed is a true master on his field
👍🏽👍🏽 Awesome Ed & Dan buddy looking forward to Ed’s studio with the board & the new solo project developing !
Somewhat surprised to see the DD-3 tucked away under the riser, as I would have assumed he'd be pretty hands-on with the knobs (and the glitchy hold function), less set-and-forget.
This was just a joy to watch. Seems like such a pleasant person. Great video and content.
Man I love Ed, seems like such a genuine down to earth guy!
Thank you for this, this was very inspiring. Ed is such a nice guy, as talented as he is modest.
OMG! One of my favorite guitarists! I'm so glad he did another video with you. So insightful into his gear and sound!
What an incredible video
Lovely fella and brilliant musician.
Ed is such a great guy. So this means another EOB album is in the works? Awesome. Fascinating video. What great work you guys do to help people explore new sounds.
Love this, fascinating stuff. Im a lifelong Radiohead fan, always loved Ed and Jonnys sounds live. Really cool to see and hear his take on how he crafts his sounds and pedalboard! =)
Always love seeing the both of you talking about gear, there is an obvious chemistry, you talk the same language. Can't wait for the next TPS episode with Ed !
Nice video. Radiohead definitely had/has the pedal sauce. More overheads tho. I know he's a star, but this one is about the pedals. It does have enough brief cutaways to see what's going on, but I really had to tweaze and pause the timeline to figure out which pedal versions you 2 had on the new and old boards Sidenote::--> Additionally, some commentary (even post interview if ed is limited on time) between the diff between the various belle epoch versions for example would help to understand why he went from deluxe to the mini and considerations between the delay features if we are thinking about using that as a delay (I suppose it comes down to being the smallest ep3 circuit available but I'm unclear whether he still uses the delay features because I like it as a delay). I watched your older long delay video that had 2 belle epoch versions so I may go back to that to help review. This is still a very good conversation to share and I appreciate the P3dal and gig rig shows for doing it.
idk how i haven’t seen this!!
These sounds…..man these sounds. Long time Perry fan and just picked up some Sly and the Family Stone lps….killer sounds. It’s got to be difficult to wrestle these sounds from arena to studio. It’s been genius to watch Ed tame the chaos that’s symphonic. Cheers to all the joy he has brought me; the inner emotions I’ve been allowed to feel .
I’ve watched and listened to a few things with Ed, really cool knowledgeable dude
great video as always! I just wish we got to hear ed play

Thanks Gents! Love both of you; love your synergy in this collaboration. Ed's work--all of it--mesmerizes. If you would please, carry on with the hard work that art requires. The both of you keep crushing it again and again. BTW, Ed's signature guitar sets the standard for SOTA design.
I had an Arion Tubulator but my very second pedal was the DD3- and it's still sitting on my shelf. My Dad bought it for me so hard to part with. This is where the similarities between myself and Ed end, of course.
This is so I good I can't wait to get home from work so I can grab my guitar and play. Ed, Dan, & Preamps for life :)

as a big radiohead fan, this video makes me really happy!
Two incredible men who add so much to the knowledge base of the international community. Bless you both, love the pedal selection. Where did you put the Matrix Mixer though? I assume it’s routed to the gigrig somehow, but I didn’t see how or where you were stashing it. To me this kind of routing is the most interesting thing about the build. It opens the board up to endless reamping possibilities for studio use
Nothing but respect for Ed
Great interview with Ed and so insightful of how he works, I’m so glad he explained about using less gear and then getting to know your gear you’re using inside out, which is what I’ve always done and think it’s essential if you want to be a great musician, songwriter, producer and a creative guitarist with their own individual guitar sound. Delving into the heart, body and brain of especially your amps and pedals for myself makes you understand, gives you the knowledge, creativeness and production skills to designing great sounds and gives you the knowledge, understanding and skills to know what you achieve if you fully understand how all the internal editing features and parameters of anything works and then how sounds and effects then react when linked with other pedals and gear. In my world this has always been a huge part of my music production, writing, designing your individual sounds, editing parameters and know what I’m doing, being so into sound synthesis and know how to achieve a desired sound cos you know how all your gear works so well for me is really satisfying. I do get really wound up by so many guitarist who just want & expect to plug directly into any instrument, amp, pedal, etc wanting it to sound amazing immediately and like their favourite guitarists without tweaking, editing and getting to know your gear inside out is laziness.
Fantastic insight in to Ed's playing and knowledge - also the mark of a real incredible live performer (which of course he is) clearly it allows him to intuitively have access to the detail of all his sound textures and guitar voicing - brilliant thanks so much

Absolutely amazing build and the news drop (to me anyway) of new EOB material was as welcome as a well structured Flake in my ice cream.
Such a nice video with Ed again daniel! You’re just a perfect man for doing such nice and clean individual pedalboard build for Ed with the G3, and of course the gear talk, i love it! What Ed said about amps is pretty the same i was going trough, but apart from his experience playing massiv venues, playing at a bar with an Ac30 is always way too loud 😂 Now playing an ac4tv amp with an build in Alnico gold speaker! Sounds like heaven. And just pushing it further with an xotic ep-booster. 🤯
Ed is the best, love this! Quick question, Ed talks about choosing the DD3 over the Oto 12-bit because he likes working the knobs in real time . . . why did you make it where the DD3 knobs are kind of hard to access?

Hey Dan, if you remember, what was going on at 27:00? Sounds fantastic.
There are so many pedal possibilities. I always find it interesting with these sorts of things in that I have almost 60 pedals yet the only one I have in common with Ed is the H90.
