Stephen! This is brilliant! I’ve been thinking for the longest time how it would be awesome to have an easy system to switch pedal routing without making a big mess. Here’s the solution! Also, the operator bit was a riot.

@chrismurphy9750 2 года назад

I recently experienced crawling around for hours hooking up patch bays. Whenever you think you are done there is one cable that needs to be adjusted for some reason and it's more crawling around. Nice video! and nice playing at the end. I like the humor.

Such a great video Sir - on all levels. Leaving this comment here to look back on when you're at 100k Subs - I'm calling it right now!! Thank you

@apislapis 3 года назад

It may be silly but also a very entertaining Stephen Learson production. Lots of pedals languishing in boxes, unused patchbays lying dormant in my rack...hmmm. Thank you.

@intheblink 3 года назад

I’ve kind of dreamt of doing this, but like you said... it’s so much effort! I’ve been ruined by plugins... but they can be inconvenient and inspiration killing in their own way. Good on you for putting in the effort.

@AlexBallMusic 3 года назад

Flangeeeeer!!! Have had a few rack mount FX units in recently and have hooked them up on auxiliaries on my desk that return on two channels in stereo. Got me thinking that I should hook my entire pedal board up as an auxiliary, but I hadn't considered a patch bay approach like this. Would make it more flexible as the pedals would all be discrete rather than in one long chain. Mmmm.

@StephenLearson 3 года назад

It was a lot of work but I’m really happy with the results. Before I did it I would sometimes decide not to implement an idea because I didn’t feel like unplugging everything. Since I made this Vid I also routed the external IN from a bunch of my synths too. So now I can easily send audio to them. Game changer!

There’s a good days work in just wiring the pedal board! Especially if you’re manufacturing your own cable lengths.

@fabioandres9560 5 месяцев назад

@stephenlearson I‘m so glad I stumbeled over your hilarious video on the modular pedalboard! I have just put together the same thing. After initial excitement (as it‘s just more fun than using plugins) we realized that we are destroying the output stages of the aux channels on the mixer, sending to the patchbays. It seems that during live patching with ts cables, there seem to happen wome sort of over current or too hot signals flowing back to the outs on tje mixer, which were just fried. Exactly as you we're using passive patchbays, normal guitar effect pedals and only ts cables. Have you ran into such issues and would you know how to avoid this? Every hint would be highly appreciated!!😅Happy share more details or some pictures, as it looks dqmn cool!

hey man tnx for the vid!:) I just got me this neutrik nys-spp-L 1 patch bay and I'm about to set up my gear in the apartment. I was wondering if you could tell me if I should connect my guitar pedal board to the back of the patch bay with trs or ts cables ..tnx again:)

@Lorneplumber 3 года назад

I’m using a gig rig g2 as mostly the same thing.

@stashusclay 3 года назад

This video has inspired me to address a major organizational issue with my music space. One thing throwing me off through the purchase patch bay is the TRS/TS thing. My synths have both types of outs but the patch bays for purchase all reference trs. Does it even matter?

@StephenLearson 3 года назад

The way I do it: TS cables from synth -> back of patchbay TRS cables for patching TRS cables from patchbay -> interface Never had any problems doing it this way

@blindianajones 3 года назад

I recently bought a patch bay and love the idea of having the routing. Then when I try to wrap my brain around the routing, I want to just buy multiple versions of the pedals I love for each instrument in their respective line out to my interface.

@StephenLearson 3 года назад

Brian Hurley the good thing is you only have to wrap your brain around it once. After it’s setup you don’t have to know how to do it again.

@pshenk Год назад

This is helpful! I'm currently running synths into a mixer, then the channel sends/returns to and from the patchbay... I'm not sure this is the best setup. Do you do any reamping, run everything straight to the pedals? How do you deal with stereo/mono signals? Some of my pedals are stereo and I've been using splitters to turn mono sends to stereo to the pedals, then combining them back again out of the pedals to the return of the mixer... Again, not sure this is the best way. It seems like my signal is going in too hot to the pedals, and coming back too weak or something.

@klinkske 3 года назад

Recently checked if i missed new videos from you. So i missed you (too). Funny video. Do you run pedals on batteries? Because keeping patchcables in yhem, switched off seems to eat battery power... learned that in the late 80’s and still seems to be like that here on more recent pedals?

@StephenLearson 3 года назад

klinkske I mounted power supplies underneath. Yeah, this system would not work well on batteries

@joncmusic4 3 года назад

Came here for the patchbay ideas, stayed for the tracks. These tracks are incredible. Are they out?

@StephenLearson 3 года назад

Not yet. Working on it. Keep your ear to the tracks

@MKDVB 3 года назад

Are you getting any 60hz hum from your patchbay'ed pedals? I recently velcro''d a patchbay onto my pedalboard & wired it all up with some normalled routings & it works for jamming but when I record, I pick up seemingly random 60hz hum in some pedals. Different days will see different pedals w/ problems & if I wire them direct, no hum.

@geluix69 3 года назад

what cable type of cable did you use for the pedal to patchbay connection ? TRS or TS Going from a unbalanced to balanced usually causes issues and sometimes grounding loops. Have a spare patchbay , many pedals. thinking of the same idea. I see your using TS cables for the Patching.

@matturmy 3 года назад

this is a task I am about to undertake. Thanks for posting. Quick question, are you also employing an outboard rack line mixer or digital mixer along with the patchbay and your synths? What I'm going for is the ability to route multiple synths through different variations of the effects signal chain simultaneously, while routing all of it into my preamps to record in real-time....thinking both a mixer and a patchbay will be required. did you do this, or just run out of patchbay directly to your DAW..?

@StephenLearson 3 года назад

I run an 8 channel snake from the pedal patchbay to another patchbay on my desk. Then I have 8 DI’s that go from there to my interface/DAW. I’d like to get a mixer someday. I just haven’t decided yet.

@lordbyron3511 2 года назад

What is the end tidbit? Love the tune and the timbres! Is what you’re playing a stacked patch of some sort?

@albertwesker2050 3 года назад

So I have a pedalboard that is for live play and some loose pedals for in the studio. Would a patch bay be good to plug the whole pedalboard in when I wanna use it?

I shall leave the drawing of that inescapable conclusion to you ;)

@Nicholas_PA Год назад

Why 4 patch bays instead of just 1? If you have 48 I/O’s then what is the point, unless you have more than 24 pedals?

@RonaldFigura 3 года назад

So- series AND/OR parallel?

@StephenLearson 3 года назад

Ronald Figura I have it set up for both but mostly I’ve been running in parallel so I can mix the new signal with the dry version.

@RonaldFigura 3 года назад

@@StephenLearson I figured it probably was. I've never really used a patchbay for effects like that. so I'm not exactly sure how they get set up. And the technical end wasn't part of your video.

@StephenLearson 3 года назад

Ronald Figura here’s the rundown: 8 channel (TRS) snake IN from my DAW 8 channel (TRS) snake OUT to my DAW Then all the pedals go into the back of the patchbays (TS) I bought 2 reamp boxes in case there was a signal level problem but so far I haven’t had to use them.
