I love all the different manufacturers being confused over each others' pedals or straight up bullying them
The final gig actually sounded really enchanting. The wide range of effects made it sound like we were going on an auditory adventure.
It felt even more enchanting with my pot of confectionary sugar for snorting
You can really hear the guitar's tonewood through that chain.
Stolen joke from Music is win comment section on his pedal video?
@@averi9594 it's not exactly hard to think of that joke, still funny tho
it is definitely the string gauge you are hearing here, not the tonewood :P
Hot hide glue, for sure.
Does the guitar have a maple neck? i can't play unless i can hear that maple neck tone
When you build a pedal board so big that you summon Alex Lifeson
Oh this comment needs WAY more likes. That made my day.
Even he couldn't stop, so many possibilities, your playing bursts with possibilities : )
Ruuuuuusssshhhhh
When you don’t realize you’re actually now larger than lifeson (didn’t realize how bad this was until I typed it)
does Alex have so many effects? I know that he uses many or is he just playing a Kemper?
"I'm running this through my tube amp. It just sounds better."
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.
What was the name of the experiment?
If you don't remember the name, any details might help. I couldn't find it based on what you described. It sounds fascinating, though.
Link it pls..
I’ve done something very similar to this on a large scale.
"And ... all of them on!"
Well, now we all know what hell sounds like.
27:12 Look at them all Frantically try to shut it down 😂😂😂
It sounded like what I'd imagine people screaming in hell would be like.

alternate title: dude in a beanie teams up with 50 other people to try to summon kevin shields
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.
Boss already does that ;-)
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?

@@peepock7796 who asked? Cause they didn’t.
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.
Why all the pain and agony? No happy thoughts? I think the last part sounded really well and I felt happiness.

I'm surprised Tom Morello didn't show up.
Robert Fripp would come too but it takes about two days for him to get out of the effects set he uses, so he's gonna be late.
@@genzn1ster that would have been fun!
Kevin Shields??
I feel like Rob is one of the few people on CZcams who doesn't need to fake their thumbnails - no photoshop, just massive effort
I'm extremely impressed that the signal travels fast enough to be on time with you playing. It's being processed thru so many pedals and traveling such an immense distance, I would've figured there would be a second or two delay between you hitting a note, and sound actually coming out of the amps lol
It’s electricity it travels pretty fast
electricity can travel around the PLANET over 5 times a second. this is in one room lol
This isnt even a guitar pedal board....
Its a pedal floor
The best part is that it features Alex Lifeson but you didn't put that in the title or tags for clickbait. Nice touch!
Yes indeed.
I love how all the lead up and the start of the ending performance was all light hearted. But then the ending crescendo to use all the pedals in the performance part ends up sounding like a horrifying auditory hellscape, but in the best way, Rob :)
Because of this video, I've collected 12 pedals from Sweetwater in the last two months! Their personal service, expertise, and products are really awesome! Great people!

DUUUUUUDE
I love how Alex Lifeson randomly shows up! Awesome soundscape at the end, congratulations!
That's one crazy pedal board...it begins with some dramatic tones and suddenly like entering into a horrifying planet...and just awesome
There's a guitar center employee thinking there's alot of warranties that could've been sold.
you deserve every single thumbs up you get for that comment, and then some.
Nice R34...stuff with engines is fun
Me: How Much Did You Spend on your Tone?
Rob : Its Complicated.....
Yes
$100,000
The actual song performance kinda reminds me of "Everywhere at the end of time". An artists musical interpretation of the 6 stages of dimentia. Starting out with recognisable, discernible music, slowly descending into noise. If you don't know what it is, search it up.
Or dont
Better you don't
I thought the exact same thing!
@@aw2584 dead
Oh god the ptsd from that is real
The ending from around 27:30 on it's pretty much just a regular sonic youth noise part, and from 28:00 that's essentially 80's Sonic Youth album moments! Can't express how much I love it 💙
Good guy Rob: Has Alex Lifeson in his video, doesn't use it as clickbait.
Made the video that much more enjoyable
Yet another reason Rob is awesome
next vids click bait
Pensé lo mismo ....
Why does that make him a good guy?
Watching Alex Lifeson playing his signature guitar must've been a surreal moment for Rob.
This video is sooooo underated. Amazing!!!! Having all this people working on tone live was an experience, even from a pc! Thanks for sharing.
This video is rated
When all pedals are on it sounds like the gates of hell
That's almost enough Wah pedals for a metallica show
*almost*
😄😄😄😄
Not even close
2 boards of wah peddles comes close maybe?
The funny thing is that when i saw them live this year kirk had many of them scattered in different places on stage so he could use it like everywhere he stood, so you are technically correct
Rob: “Straight into the amp...all of them on”

Opens portal to Hell.

I love this performance of For That Second. The way it just completely decays is fantastic
Thanks for doing this, watching somebody try to beat this is going to be just as entertaining! You've set the bar high
When your pedal board is so big you need to hire a backing band to play it for you.
😂😂😂
This is definitely perfect!
19:27 "Straight into the amp..."
>Prettiness
"All of them on..."
>Souls of hell wailing

For real tho!! That's the first thing that popped in my head!! Haha

*Shoegazer came*
How everyone felt listening to my bloody valentine for the first time
That is the ultimate black metal pedal combo. Sounded like the souls of the damned wailing through the speakers. Brutal!
It would have been awesome if they have had cameras in the pedalboards showing what pedals were on/off and how the setup was
* BUT FIRST, HERE'S MY CLEAN TONE *
*Crunchhhhh*

@@houserhouse "mustve been a fortune" yea, 100k, like they said in the video and the comment youre replying to :'D
Not even. $96k was for the pedals and boards alone. Could also be cost in cables (not sure if that’s part of the 96k), but there’s absolutely another couple tens of thousands in those Marshalls.
They needed to cut to someone telling Josh how many cups of coffee that comes out to.
That ending was totally just an insane 3 hour long prog rock album closer.

I think if I could hear one concert in its purest, most high quality form I think it would be this.
after seeing 27:07 pressing all the buttons, you totaly need to do this again but with profesional stepdancers stepping on the boards moving in a square synchronised, that would be totaly awesome.
Wanted to say a huge thank you to Sweetwater, the manufacturers, brands and all the various lovely people who helped make this happen!

Glad you liked the Angry Rob! I run the custom shop at JHS Pedals and it was a blast to make!
Epic
I love JHS! Also what kind of pedal is the angry rob? Is it based of the Angry Charlie perhaps?
You need to make the angry robs publicly available so that they can be used in the world record (also I want one!)
I have an original cry baby Thomas organ stack of dimes inductor, was wondering how many of those you have modded for different ppl?
The pedal is an Angry Charlie circuit, in a custom enclosure with artwork we made just for Rob. Our custom shop is currently extremely limited and mostly consists of variations on our own pedals, and only for specific artists and individuals that Josh chooses to work with :)
Imagine after all this work with all these people and all these pedalboards Rob just plays Wonderwall and leaves.
he should've played just the chromatic scale
Naaah 0-3-5
I said maybeeeeeeeee
Or the forbidden riff.
Da Fuzu OH NO 😂
pedals 100 grand...having the engineers and designers working as your pedal techs. Priceless.
All the pedals on at the end sounded like the music in the Evil Dead movie. Even the camera work following the pedalboard was spot on!!!! 😂🤘🤘🤘

Fuzz, feedbacker, wah, And something I can't put my finger on
seeing Alex walk in was insane Rush is one of my favorite bands like ever
Goddaym that gig was beautiful
I like how the performance was like: 23:05 Experiencing a calm and relaxing life at the start, but something's off, subtle indications of ruin and we're ignoring it. And then the realization hits 26:30, everything suddenly falls apart in a nuclear blast. Good feelings gone, sirens blaring, radios full static, and people screaming in the distance- before finally succumbing to the radiation 28:38.
This song sounds like the Cold War's worst fear realized.
*And I loved every second of it*
Literally HBO's Chernobyl soundtrack
Same. This needs to be in a movie soundtrack. Like imagine this playing over the climax of "Watchmen."
HEY ROB, PIN THIS COMMENT PLS.
Zephyr song RHCP
whats the song at 23:05
"That's Alex lifeson"
Rob-*Ron Swanson giggle with little kiddie run* "uh hey"
Back in high school, my best friend played in a popular local band.
Which meant access to the bands equipment.
We used to hook up the all the pedals to a microphone, placed in the center of a small room, turn up the everything on his big amp, get high on that old school sativa bud that gave you the giggles and Munchies and made your eyes bleed.
Every little sound came through and was distorted according to which ever pedals we choose to run.
A giggle would echo plex and overlap followed my more giggles etc.
Then the stone would set in and it would get all trippy.
Anyway, try it some time. Hook your effects pedals to your mic.
