The man behind every other Rig Rundown since the dawn of time!

Bob Bradshaw is so awesome. He isn't a gear snob, He doesn't think his ideas are better than anyone else's... His attitude is: if it's good then it's good regardless of cost... even though his systems are incredibly high cost it's nice that he doesn't have a snobby attitude .

this is great! for those of us who cant afford them, its awesome to see how the pros work!

The whole idea of building and/or programming one of these things is a total mindfuck. Kudos to Bob Bradshaw.

"The Big RIgbowski"

The Guy is A Genius..Period. Look at his track record. Him and Pete Cornish both.

Cornish sells overpriced pedals

Thanks for this! I've been waiting so long to watch some good interview like that with mr. Bradshaw! Thanks, PG!

Fascinating insight into the world of Bob. Thanks very much for shooting this!

That was really informative. Very cool behind-the-scenes with a living legend. Thank you.

This is so simple. To the people making fun of the rig. Get a gig as big as Luke 1st of all. Then you get to hire a guitar tech for the road because you made it. Then you get a guy like Bradshaw that pioneered it. It's that simple. Oh yeah, you take your buds out on the road and everyone gets paid. Friends and all.

Feed Mill dig a little further back in time and you will discover Pete Cornish - probably the REAL pioneer of both pedalboards and racks (not to mention full power regulation) for major international touring bands beginning at the end of the 60s.

@@nonahyobusiness8063 that doesn't make Bob any less relevant. The way I looked at it was that Cornish did a lot of UK stuff like Maiden & Priest, Pink Floyd etc while Bradshaw was the US guy.

I could listen to him talking about all that stuff for hours

Great rundown - So cool to get a peak in this legend’s process 👍

oh wow.this is great.love interviews with bob bradshaw.brilliant and down to earth guy.seems to really love his work.nice to see thanks

Lovely to get a personal shop tour of a place where most home guitarists will never tread! Bradshaw has worked on the sound of many of the best electric guitarists of the past thirty years, so seeing how he goes about achieving this is a valuable insight in to the world of commercial touring/recording musicians. Thanks, PG!

Bob, what a cool guy. No wonder every artist seems to use his systems, I would die for a chance to design a pedal board with him to my specifications....and then have a few beers after! Thanks for sharing all that with us Bob.

Love Bob's work ever since his RockTron days.

Bob is an amazing man,I could listen to him for days..

More of this kind of video please! Great informative!

That was so awesome. Bob is a legend.

The Bradshaw MXR pedals are fantastic.

This guy's like the Jeff Bridges of rig-building.

You can tell he's been programming boards for a long time! That man has a rhythm!

My thought exactly. I played in Van Halen tribute band and our guitarist is attempting to VH with just barebones plugged directly into his 5150iii head. That's it! I have to admit it sounds not too bad.

Thank you for this PG.

More of these please!

Excellent content, Bob, cool guy/genius/visionary! 👏👏👏🎶

Super cool and love it and use to build rigs like that. Fun. TODAY? Fractal Axe Fx 3. Been using them since 2009 and love them. So easy with modelers to get a crazy good sound, especially these days with the offerings

10:26 Bob’s footswitch solo 🥁

What a cool guy! Great to see the New Zealand made 'Hotcake" double drive pedal in there. Just been rebuilding my board, great inspiration!

Great interview

Guys..love the videos but, change the mics!

man I wish I could afford one of those, that's a really amazing and intuitive system.

Coolest PG video ever. Thanks.

Bob Bradshaw is a real legend and a great guy.

one of the most revered tech gurus out there.

this guy is awesome... what knowledge he has is incredible. for guys like me who are average guitar players. Its a cool way to be involved without playing music.

This video was a very outside the box thinking. Thanks for doing that.

I agree. I have one and they are great.

Bob is a legend.

we need the upgraded version of this immediately.

"This board really ties the rig together,"

I wish I had the know how to do his job. Cool job to have.

i always thought this guy was called Brad Shaw when i heard his name in rig rundowns

my hero

What a dude!

my good buddy got a board from bob about a year and a half ago.....he loves it said bob was great to him. i've emailed him a few times but buikt my own rig and realized wtf do i have this rack rig when i don;t tour so i wen back to my old school pedal board but he is great

22:04 "HEH"

Here's my rig rundown: Guitar (Les Paul Std or Fender Strat) - Cable - Marshall JCM 800 2210 - Marshall 4x12 Cab. Never failed me. No tech required ;-)

Thanks, but it's the MIDI controlled volume pedal I'm interested in, the one with the funky lights on it, as opposed to the foot controller.

Anyone notice one of his tatts is the Custom Audio logo. Pretty cool.

I keep on seeing that source audio preset saver :D

That seems so complicated, convoluted. I watch videos like this for fun, then I look at my setup and pat myself on the back for just using a guitar and an amp. LOL:)

Autolux is awesome

is he using the EP Booster as a buffer on that second pedal board with the switching system? Is that why its in the beginning and doesn't go into the loops?

Lukather and Clapton have had Bradshaw rigs!

Do one for Pete Cornish

Bob Bradshaw is a god.

Do you have a device that can control the EVENTIDE Harmonizer( which takes 3 to 4 control patterns: push, turn, push and sometimes push bypass).

Great video! Does anyone have any idea how much cost a job like that ?

Haha. I was about to comment something along those lines.

I love the Buffalo Springfield shirt

His voice is like Neil Young's :-)

So in your case Bob could make you a rack that had one unit for your flanging, one for your chorus, one for your reverb, one for your delay, and a rackmount wah. Rackmount your amp/ amps and set you up with a pedal board out front with individual fx and amp channel switching, etc. You carry one rack to the gig, set up one pedalboard with one cable and you're good to go. Same setup you'd normally run, but now it's ready for a big tour for easy setup/teardown. THAT is what rigs like these are for.

@Pete Cockcroft That toddler is 11 now. Thanks for your timely contribution.

Its "The Dude"!

Or "The Rig Lebowski".

What are those types of cables for the pedalboard? They dont take up much space at all...

That's exactly the point of this system. You only have all the stuff in line when you actually need it, so that way there is only as few as possible things between guitar and amp

Any idea what the MIDI controlled volume pedal is? Cheers.

How do you wire the amp heads in with this rig?

34:46 Entering heaven.

Really amazing!!... but, please, the camera.... i get seasick...

In my heart I agree with you, but like you say if you're playing a famous song people expect you to sound like the recording. For your own material it shouldn't matter but messing around with different sounds and effects can inspire you to find ideas that you wouldn't come up with using a dry signal.

He’s very good, but I still swear by Sound Sculpture Switchblade GL’s. 2 of them is an easy 30x30, about $3500. RJM and ART are the best pedal boards to control them with patch and continuous control. YT scanned my video and suggested this to me, same day. You can do all of this with a Switchblade, control 16 MIDI channels, 8 relays, 15 stereo channels. I could not survive without SBGL’s. Chuck Fina.

Hey it's Jeff Bridges! :)

The dude abides! The dude also constructs massive racks and drinks white Russians.

Favourite the video?

10:20 Nice rhythm track 😜

Bob is an Idol of mine!

Rad shirt.

I like the Scribble strips, rather than labels.

Is that Eddie Van Halen's rack

bradshaw looks like the dude

Makes my voodo lab switching system seem like a lego kit :( I need a bradshaw Midi board

10:14 Bradshaw's song

19:55 "these go to eleven."

Well howcome we cant here is?

I so badly want to hang on to this video... but I can't. Premier Guitar should make a "Racks and pedal boards for dummies" video

The guy who invented footswitches must have bought his own island by now....

everyone has something from line 6, and something from fractal xD

i agree with "miking" sound quality on amny vids is very poor

NO I meant seem.

look* not seem, anyway, I feel the same way :P

Lo fi! Jeez

why can't any of the bass mags out there do videos this intensive. i still love it all, but bass gear is like a small town NFL team, no one else cares what your doing until it's wrong. And than they only pay attention to illustrate why your wrong.

I'm sure he could design a board for that.

"kind of" seems to be the key.

No Axe FX here lol. The real deal.

I know...I know...I'm a working musician and know that to play covers, you need all sorts of F/X crap. I just remember the good old days and my Tele thru my '65 Super Reverb....

I still prefer rack gear better. I am going to rebuild a rack using Synergy system.

What happens when it breaks down,,unless you have a pro working for you your screwed.Thats why a lot of guys stopped using them

Almost 38:00 minutes and no sounds?
