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 Guy is A Genius..Period. Look at his track record. Him and Pete Cornish both.
Cornish sells overpriced pedals
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.
+Feed Mill Then you find out that Luke is now using a simple pedalboard with two Bogner amps.
@@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.
The whole idea of building and/or programming one of these things is a total mindfuck. Kudos to Bob Bradshaw.
"The Big RIgbowski"
The Bradshaw MXR pedals are fantastic.
Love Bob's work ever since his RockTron days.
Bob is an amazing man,I could listen to him for days..
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.
That was really informative. Very cool behind-the-scenes with a living legend.
Thank you.
I could listen to him talking about all that stuff for hours
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.
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!
Guys..love the videos but, change the mics!
That was so awesome. Bob is a legend.
10:26 Bob’s footswitch solo 🥁
Great rundown - So cool to get a peak in this legend’s process 👍
What a cool guy! Great to see the New Zealand made 'Hotcake" double drive pedal in there. Just been rebuilding my board, great inspiration!
You can tell he's been programming boards for a long time! That man has a rhythm!
Fascinating insight into the world of Bob. Thanks very much for shooting this!
This guy's like the Jeff Bridges of rig-building.
Excellent content, Bob, cool guy/genius/visionary! 👏👏👏🎶
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 ;-)
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
Bob Bradshaw is a real legend and a great guy.
one of the most revered tech gurus out there.
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
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.
Thanks for this! I've been waiting so long to watch some good interview like that with mr. Bradshaw! Thanks, PG!
Bob is a legend.
22:04 "HEH"
Autolux is awesome
More of this kind of video please! Great informative!
"This board really ties the rig together,"
This video was a very outside the box thinking. Thanks for doing that.
Great interview
man I wish I could afford one of those, that's a really amazing and intuitive system.
Thank you for this PG.
More of these please!
Do one for Pete Cornish
I agree. I have one and they are great.
i always thought this guy was called Brad Shaw when i heard his name in rig rundowns
Coolest PG video ever. Thanks.
we need the upgraded version of this immediately.
Bob is an Idol of mine!
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
Or "The Rig Lebowski".
Anyone notice one of his tatts is the Custom Audio logo. Pretty cool.
His voice is like Neil Young's :-)
my hero
I wish I had the know how to do his job. Cool job to have.
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.
Bob Bradshaw is a god.
Lukather and Clapton have had Bradshaw rigs!
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.
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:)
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.
Is that Eddie Van Halen's rack
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?
Its "The Dude"!
I keep on seeing that source audio preset saver :D
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
Hey it's Jeff Bridges! :)
The dude abides! The dude also constructs massive racks and drinks white Russians.
10:14 Bradshaw's song
Haha. I was about to comment something along those lines.
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).
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.
Great video! Does anyone have any idea how much cost a job like that ?
I love the Buffalo Springfield shirt
Really amazing!!... but, please, the camera.... i get seasick...
bradshaw looks like the dude
I like the Scribble strips, rather than labels.
There is nothing special about what Bob does, there is only his knowledge in audio gear that is important here. All he has been doing since the mid 80's is buying the Midi Foot controllers ( INTERNALS) and programming them. Now you can do this at home since most midi foot controllers are usb based so very easy to edit. The days of "Bradshaw Switching" is over. I made my own Midi foot controller fully programmable to switch my gear on the small rack setup. USB based so easy to edit . the biggest expensive thing in all switching systems is always the Router ( where everything plugs into) many of those rack units did not have ( or never had) midi control) that is the box you see him showing. Nothing special about drilling holes in a metal box and adding 1/4 inputs. The days of doing it yourself are here and so happy building!!!
dan fuerth Really? Lmao, where can we try some of your pedal creations?
There is only 1 I made since that is all I needed. I ordered the parts online from midi/audio kits and the parts were OEM stock so no boxes just comes in with the boards. You have to finish it yourself which means a metal box then drilling in all the 1/4 inputs/ outputs that the midi board supports.
Like I said there is nothing magical about a midi signal turning on an audio signal gate on a PCB board. Think about it this way : That router box he shows take all the PCB board assembly out of the boxes and you have an OEM Midi PCB audio signal switcher!!!! You can make your own box and just put the boards inside that box yourself. Nothing Magical about soldering 1/4 inputs to a PCB board which already has the positions to solder to LOL. Again just a Board that Midi signals turn on and turn off Audio gates.
dan fuerth None of the CAE foot controllers are built from kits, neither are the switchers. He's been building them since before such kits became available, and no, its not magic, but being able to do it from scratch rather than follow kit instructions is much more difficult, especially when he was practically the first to build midi relay switchers. Something tells me your midi controller doesn't have near half the capability of an RST either. I'm not saying Bradshaw is some end all rig builder, there are now dozens of guys who have overtaken him, but it doesn't take away the fact that he was the first to build a midi controlled guitar rig, shortly followed by Cornish's oversized monstrosities.
dan fuerth If your design is so great, you should share it, and maybe you will become famous like Bob...
dan fuerth The people who do it first will always been seen as nothing by morons.
Favourite the video?
What are those types of cables for the pedalboard? They dont take up much space at all...
34:46 Entering heaven.
10:20 Nice rhythm track 😜
Rad shirt.
Filmed only 8 years ago and by now, today you do EVERYTING in this video with a simple preset on a small Fractal FM3 not to mentioned it will sound better and be free of problems and If you go with the AxeIII than its a totally deferent level which these racks will never achieve.
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.
These guitar players, don't have the ability to simply buy one amp, and simply plug in and play. Bradshaw has gone from building insanely expensive racks, for insanely good guitar players, building even MORE expensive/complicated racks for players to beat on one string of a 7-sting guitar. 🤣 Kudos to Bradshaw for still being able to make money off of it...
The guy who invented footswitches must have bought his own island by now....
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
I still prefer rack gear better. I am going to rebuild a rack using Synergy system.
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
How do you wire the amp heads in with this rig?
19:55
"these go to eleven."
god bless floor processors... for the rest of us who can't afford this spaceship controller stuff...
i agree with "miking" sound quality on amny vids is very poor
everyone has something from line 6, and something from fractal xD
Any idea what the MIDI controlled volume pedal is? Cheers.
Well howcome we cant here is?
You cannot play U2 music with just a guitar plug into an amp...you can play it but it won't sound like it.
if it weren't for these systems, multiprocessor like the Helix would not exist....
Makes my voodo lab switching system seem like a lego kit :( I need a bradshaw Midi board
NO I meant seem.
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....
