Loads of pedals, a top-flight switcher and seven MIDI pedals on one board?! You bet…

Life too short for long YouTube videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.

Welcome to the video, Dan here, hello!
We were lucky enough to meet and hang out with the awesomely talented and charismatic Paul Davids at Thomann Gear University in 2019. If you're not familiar with Paul's work, please a visit here and get learned!    / @pauldavids  

Anyhoo, back there in Germany we began a conversation that culminated in this monster of a pedalboard build. Regular viewers will know that working with artists' rigs and pedalboards is central to everything I do in my main job at TheGigRig, and this was an opportunity to put all that experience to work.

Paul will follow up with a video on his own channel in due course, walking you through some of the sounds and his experiences so far. Please watch that space for more.

Meanwhile, enjoy this video!
