Radiohead's Ed O'Brien's pedalboard build TheGigRig G2 

"Yeah." - Ed O'Brien

Ed "Look at my new pedalboard Thom!" Thom "Very nice Ed. But on this album we just need cabasa and mellotron. Where's my laptop?"

I can't help coming back, if that board was mine I'd just get naked and lay on it all day

This dude is like the Robert Fripp of pedalboards. #impressed

"wow" -ed o'brien, 2014

Probably the 10th time i've watched this vid. Still amazed at Ed's humility, and how in awe he is of your work Daniel- and rightly so. Such a great vid.

My god that memory man sounds incredible

I'm blown away by this. Boards this big usually aren't tour friendly at all.

Thank you for helping radiohead. You have done a great public service.

Didn't understand a thing, but nice video.

sweet.. with all the hum control, isolators, and virtual battery, this is the best board i've seen.

Dan is such a clever dude.

11:42 was that the chug palm mute from "Creep" used to bleep the f word? LOL

Unbelievable! This down-to-earth guy is a member of one of the best bands of our time! Daniel, great job. Ed, thank you so much for everything!

I love these artist videos where you can see the thankfulness, happiness, the joy and amazement, even being dumbfounded, of these guys when they find out that you made their life so easy, so convenient and allow them to express directly without annoying technical issues. This is what a technological man strives for, to create something useful that makes someone's life easy and better so much that they're at loss of words. The mere reaction of these guys justifies the existence of this technology. In some episode you said it took you 10 years with people saying you're a madman, but now there are people who couldn't live without the fruit of your creativity and problem solving skills. All that effort was worth it when you single-handedly allowed something that wasn't previously possible, but was deeply sought after. Kirk Fletcher's reaction is also one of my favourites. How a man can be so happy that he almost cries, because the difference and result is so beautiful. It makes me happy to watch. And finally getting my own gigrig power system, I can now also forget all that. Even not having a looper it's a huge step when you know you don't have to second guess if you power is adequate.

Love this! Thanks for all the work. Learning stuff all the time from you. I love how humble and appreciative Ed seems to be.

I am strongly desiring a Deluxe Memory Man now.

To have someone like Ed O'Brien, who, like all musicians in Radiohead, is searching for the path of unbridled creativity and sonic experimentation without any obstructions, be so happy and thankful at the end is a true testimony and reflection of GigRig's successful fulfillment of everything a serious musician could ask for. I first read about GigRig in the "Perfect Pedalboard" issue of Guitarist magazine, which featured a segment on Steven Wilson's pedalboard. That's where I first found out about the company and was absolutely amazed by the board built for Steven. It really gave me a peace-of-mind by proving the possibility of building a 'board' that could function with the flexibility of a multi-effects guitar unit, but done with pedals, which as many guitarists know have sonic and hands-on 'tweaking' advantages. Fantastic stuff, GigRig.

Awesome! You can just sense that Ed is a great guy. And that tech is a guitarist's dream! I shudder when I think of the setup required on stage left!!!

This is quite a clean clever set up. It's both simple and complex in options. Thank you for posting something like this. Truly awesome!

Thanks for sharing your experience with Ed! I hope they're soon back in the studio with his brand new pedalboard!!!

Never get tired of watching this Dan. The amazing setup and gear and of course radiohead are my heroes

Beautiful work Dan. It never ceases to amaze me how a board with that many pedals can be so quiet. Sometimes i have all i can do to keep 3 freaking pedals from buzzing and humming up a storm!

Extraordinary work on the board man! Very inspiring stuff.

What craftsmanship. So thoughtful. Really amazing work. And Ed, ever the decent, gracious human being. Thank you, both.

Okay, this is pure genius. I absolutely NEED a G2

What a fantastic moment. The gratitude Ed shows is heartwarming

Wow man, constructing the Pedalboard for one of the greatest guitarists to ever grace the face of the earth, who pioneered creative effects use and is part of a band that completely redefined what music is. That's one hell of a compliment to your work. You should be proud of yourself!

EDIT: The genius was lost on me until I saw how Dan routed everything. Truly excellent work. Im just like Dan and I go all out with stuff like this an really push my gear to get the most out of it and to get the most versatility. Again very great job.

Wow! What a reaction and such an inspiring video overall. Keep up the good work Daniel- what your doing for guitar tone is amazing and this board sounds phenomenal. Well done mate.

Remember watching this video years ago and falling in love with. I now have my pedalboard wired pretty much exactly like this. Inspiration 👌

Just bumped into your channel and this video. This is immensely inspiring and amazing. Your craft man... thanks so much for this video! And for helping such an amazing musician and band.

Great video. It's nice to see how happy Ed was with what you've done

Well done. Ed deserves this attention to detail, very impressive setup!

Just wanted to say your hard work is very inspiring and encouraging, keep up the good work! You are extremely appreciated! Much love

10:34 Ed: "You're a clever man" Daniel: "I'm having a go!"

Hell of a video Daniel... Fantastic job. And an amazing amount of information. Well done!

This is simply brilliant. Absolutely stunning job Daniel !!!

This G2 system (and Ed's board of course) is absolutely beautifully amazing in the truest sense. I may get a bit weepy if I watch this again. I am utterly astounded by the ingenuity contained in such a small and beer proof! :) enclosure. Grand slam.

I saw this video few months ago, and i moved on because it was too complicated for me at the time... but! after playing with pedal switchers in the last year. Well, im back and this is going to be my final pick fro setting up my board finally the way it should be setup from the beginning. And true eye opener. Thank you Daniel

Wow. This is stellar work. Just beautiful!

Wooow!! You rock Daniel!! Another amazing job!! Thanks so much for sharing. Ed is really a nice guy. Great video here.

Such a nice compliment Daniel that Ed acknowledges after 5 years of fighting, pulling out leads to find hum, the G2 allows the player to be in the moment and create. I think you have to try G2 to fully appreciate the vision that created such freedom. Awesome board too. Definitely worth watching a few times to see the benefit of going Loopy!

I wanna play on that one day, seems like endless hours of joyous fun... Ed and the boys are blessed to have you around.

What an incredible board!!! The guest loop, virtual battery. Genius

drooling here!!! amazing piece of equipment for an amazing musician!!!

Superb work here Daniel, thanks for posting this too, I learnt alot.

You're awesome Dan! I'd love to hear the story of how you very first got into electronics and guitar, and then how GigRig came about.

This has to be one of the best videos i've seen on youtube! Thanks a lot for sharing this!

Amazing rig, Daniel! Ed seems to be happy!

This is pure genius! So neat! Amazing work

Unbelievable sounds going on here! Great work Daniel!

Wow that's such an incredible board! I will definitely be checking the website out. Work of art

Wow Daniel, very inspiring, I am assembling my pedalboard and I will use the hints and the ideas you suggested in this video, thank you.

Great to see a real sound expert doing a fine job. Congratulations Daniel,

incredible amount of detail and effort!

😍 What an awesome pedalboard!! That would definitely spark a world of possibilities in a studio setting. I personally wouldn't know what to do with it but I'm sure Ed will kill it!! Lol great job

Very nice. A master job, superb craft, clean, intelligent, wow 👏🏼

Wow amazing stuff. Great work Daniel!!!

I'm just starting building boards. I learned a lot from this. Thank you!

Looked like an exciting project! Especially with someone like Ed.

Amazing stuff! I wish I could grasp the set-up, quite complex for me! Great tone!

In addition to being a landmark artist/player, Ed's a classy guy: I liked his sincere thanks - good man!

Totally blown away! Wish I had the dineros to have you put a pedal board together for me!!! Will definitely take good notes and hope I can approximate your genius....

Hi Daniel, I'm a big fan of genius Ed O' Brien! That's incredible sounds of pedals and effects! I'm grateful for oportunity to see the amazing Ed and pedals used for him during Radiohead shows here!That's Great!!! I thought that maybe would be cool to see Ed playing guitar and being showed at Pedal Show! Thanks again to post this video, Daniel.

Epic rig, epic job! Thanks for the video

Wonderful viewing! And such pro work.

I like what this artistic presentation (pedalboard) does for his soul as well as ours.

Gracias Dan por tu increíble dedicación y trabajo, en sí...puedes decir tranquilamente que has ayudado en parte a crear los sonidos de la banda sonora de mi vida, Radiohead. Un abrazo desde Argentina 👏👍

Incredible stuff, thank you for sharing with us!

Nice work Dan thanks so much for posting.

Just gotta say nice to see people sharing some positive feedback instead of the usual hate. This the first time I've left any feedback because of that reason. Loving the video's Daniel, pats on the the back for everyone : D

amazing! would have loved to see Ed trying this thing out : D

Top notch work. This is inspiring and beautiful, nice job Daniel.

This is very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

You hit this one out the ball park man!!!, thank you for this video!!!

That's a righteous board.I really like that fuzz tone.

Incredible! Lovely stuff.

Great video. GigRig has literally elbowed all the big corps when it comes to getting the best out of your guitar gear. I also got some great pedals but until I came across some of the GigRig tools my sound was literally only half as good. And they make it easy to understand what you require and what not.

OhYeah.. I wanna use such a beautiful board. Great job!

Wow. Thats is really incredible. Now its time to re-think my board!!!!! Thanks for the great video.

OMG Dan. You're very gifted. Thanks for sharing. 👏🏽👏🏽

yeah ..yeah ..yeah..yeah..yeah..yeah..yeah..yeah..yeah..yeah..yeah..yeah..yeah..yeah..yeah..yeah U GENIUS!! ..yeah..yeah..yeah..yeah..yeah xD

I like Ed's playin style, thanks to share this dude!

I wish I had half of Daniels knowledge on gear. A true gear guru master.

you are a genius of a tech. inspirational stuff!

Amazing craftsmanship!

What a sympatic guy - well both are. Great stuff

really interesting, great job Daniel!

Very nice, real professional work.

I've seen this video four times and learn something new each time. 🥰

Holy flippin tones, that fuzz.... wow. I've built huge pedalboards with switchers and midi and everything else and, I didn't understand a damn thing here haha. Daniel is a genius

Daniel TheGigRig Can we see Jonny's Pedalboard next? Amazing!!!

That tone is absolutely gorgeous regardless of whether all of those pedals really are necessary or not...

Awesome. Sounds amazing.

So many true words spoken. Felt quite inspired after watching this :-)

Rad. Nice work, man.

This pedalboard is amazing! I want!

I really appreciate that Daniel is playing like Rush through the Radiohead pedalboard.

All I can say is Daniel is the absolute best. I bought the G2 and then bought a Remote loopy 2 and Virtual battery and can't be happier.
