Constantly searching shoegaze pedalboards because I’m always curious on people’s set ups. Love this video, subbed and I’d love to see more content like this!
Sounds great man! Rv2 has always been my secret weapon over the years but glad it’s getting new love in the last few years. Gate at the front is great for glide sounds but the plate is also so so beautiful I actually have a second one at the end of my chain lol, beautiful guitar btw
I watched just about every shiegaze pedalboard videos, and these are some of my favorite sounds, do you have a full versio. If that song from the start? It sounds beautiful
Thank you! In this video I was just in standard, but when I am using open tunings I like Open E, DADGAD/DADAAD, FACGCE, EAC#F#AC#. There are some others I can't think of at the moment, but those are mainly what I've been playing/writing with lately!
Fantastic board and sounds but holy crap does the Surveyor sound incredible, particularly in this context. I need another dirt pedal like I need a hole in the head, but it is tempting me right now.
It felt a little strange to be walked through the pedals in reverse order, but I appreciate the board! Given the same pedals I would've chained them the same way
You know, I didn't even think about it while I was making the video, but now that you mention it I don't really know why I went backwards and it is kinda weird haha 🤷 Thank you!
@@noisegenerator So your signal path doesn't go left to right? I was confused as well with fuzz being at the end. Great freakin' sound tho, very impressed!! (and that I now know I'm not crazy and it's going right to left) :-) Keep it up!
hey man this is sick! I've always wondered how you get those white-noisey type sounds in the demo at the start. I'd love to start making shoegaze and that sound just pulls it all together. If you could point me in the right direction that'd be great
Very nice build. Just to confirm, the pedal order is from left to right? As in delay first, fuzz last? The fuzz after reverb is somewhat intuitive in the Shoegaze context, but I often see those two pedals near the beginning of the chain which always struck me as a bit inflexible. Your order looks like it could suit many different genres, not just Shoegaze which I think is really clever.
Thanks! The pedal order is actually right->left, but I walked through the order backwards for some reason without really thinking about it. My bad! So yeah, on this board the fuzz is before the reverb, but the drive is after it. I like fuzz after reverb, but sometimes it's a little much depending on the fuzz (and I actually don't think Kevin Shields did reverb into fuzz all that much, but that's a different discussion haha) and having some drive after reverb really works for me
@@noisegenerator Guess I bamboozled myself but it did inspire me to try running delay first in the chain, which offers surprisingly viable results. Anyway, thanks for the clarification. It just goes to show that there are many good ways to arrange the board, even within a seemingly narrow context of a singular genre (Shoegaze).
@@Lynx33PL Totally! There are a bunch of ways you could route this board and I think all of them would yield some pretty cool results! It's all about experimentation :)
I have most of these pedals except for the Surveyor and the Boss reverb but I can replace that with the Keeley Parallax which has a reverse and soft focus reverbs. I can't find the Surveyor on Reverb but I found the Dude Incredible which is one half a Surveyor. But don't feel like spending 300 for this, is there a good substitute for that one?
The board sounds sick! Probably something I would've done differently as far as sound goes, I would've had the rate on the chorus much slower, so you'd still have that vibe but it's a little less vibrato-y. Maybe that sounds is a bit more akin to shoegaze altogether, but the slow rate is more just my personal taste with chorus nowadays haha.
This was a limited run (from Chicago Music Exchange if I remember correctly) so I don't think they're making them anymore, but it's possible they might pop up on Reverb every now and then!
This is really awesome. Are all of your pedals going through the front of your amp, or do you have some of them plugged into an FX loop? As a still somewhat new guitarist I’ve read that effects like reverb, chorus, etc. are considered better-sounding when used in an FX loop but I wasn’t sure if this rule applied for shoegaze.
Doesn't really apply as much in shoegaze considering the biggest differentiating factor between it and other genres is that the reverb tends to come before your gain staging, but that shouldn't stop you from experimenting. Try stuff out and see what you like. :)
@@brianself5598 mine is a pain in the a## if I use the tremolo. Otherwise it stays in tune ok. I have a squire tele 50's vibe and I love it, stays in tune with thick strings and chugging like crazy. I tend to play heavier stuff so thats why maybe the tuning is not stable. I have some videos in my channel playing it.
The Polymoon is terrible, the whole early Meris line really is fucking awful. The design to alter you settings is hidden, and poorly laid out, I had the whole collection, easly 1500 in pedals and fav switch, I replaced them with pedals with controls you can acutally access.
First “how to” that actually NAILED it!
Thank you!

Thanks so much!
Just get a fuzz reverb pedal
@@vibecheck4581 OK THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Me too
@@vibecheck4581 what is a good fuzz reverb pedal
the first track is truly amazing and the chain order very interesting . the use of the gated reverb has astonished me !
Love this. As a person who loves shoegaze style stuff, we need more board ideas! Thank you so much for the video!
Thanks so much for watching! Hoping to do some more shoegaze-centric videos soon!
Sounds so good. Like a musical box of shoegaze chocolates or gems.
Your riff at 6:14 is everything I want in a shoegaze tone. Props man
The starting theme in montage process is just dope, so full of content and message, love.
Bruh that intro track is absolute fire!
You got the Kevin Shields strumming whammy thing down! Awesome!
Love that post-punk sound ❤ I think of The Cure, Cameleons, U2, Brian Eno, Adrian Belew... great stuff!
damn im watching this video every week, whats wrong with me, lol
Sounds great man! Rv2 has always been my secret weapon over the years but glad it’s getting new love in the last few years. Gate at the front is great for glide sounds but the plate is also so so beautiful I actually have a second one at the end of my chain lol, beautiful guitar btw
sounds pretty good. the one thing always needed that there is no cheap option for is actual reverse reverb. that is always around 300ish
Sounds killer. Makes me want to play shoegaze.
Nice taste in gear.
Shigeharu and polymoon are my personal favs when it comes to pedals.
Some great sounds here! Never thought of sticking a fuzz at the end...trying it
Yeah reverb into fuzz is a classic shoegaze sound. Check out the UA-camr Pedal Partners for more shoegaze-centric content
The fuzz is first here! The pedal order is mentioned in some comments below. The pedals go right to left. And they’re demoed in the reverse order.
Yeah… he explained his pedals backwards for some reason. No idea why.
His ACTUAL setup is Jazzmaster > Fuzz > Reverb > Chorus > Drive > Delay > amp
sick video bro, beautiful setup
This is very enlightening
Your songs are amazing!
Holy hell. Great Video and the first track.. pls record and release it! Cheers from germany :)
This sounds so good man
Great effective and stylish choices Sounds great
Absolutely killer setup! I am seriously coveting your sound
nice selection and riffs! I love the texture of the caroline fuzz :)
Dope pedals & sick chops!
Thanks!
more minimal purpose-built board demo videos pleeeeease
amazing sounds and video format. keep em coming
Thank you!
hey, sweet video, that’s a great pedal selection. love the music in the beginning of the video
Great guitar riffs!!
I watched just about every shiegaze pedalboard videos, and these are some of my favorite sounds, do you have a full versio. If that song from the start? It sounds beautiful
Thank you so much! I don't have a full version of that yet, but it may end up turning into a full song eventually!
@@noisegenerator Hope you do, that is one stunning piece of music. The whole vid is so inspiring. Great work
Really nice board, and tasty playing as well!
Thank you!
What tuning are you in?
Fantastic video! Do you have any gain going on on the amp? For example 5:30 ish
Sounds amazing!
Any insight as to what tunings you used or like would be greatly appreciated. Top tier videos brother, thanks ✌️
Thank you! In this video I was just in standard, but when I am using open tunings I like Open E, DADGAD/DADAAD, FACGCE, EAC#F#AC#. There are some others I can't think of at the moment, but those are mainly what I've been playing/writing with lately!

If you were to read this aloud you would of said it through a giant hole in your head 🙃
Some real tasty stuff here.
Thanks!
Man, I dig the four videos I've seen so far this morning. Love this one. Great work keep it up!
Thank you!
great sounds.
9:22 yw everyone

@@randyhollandsworth626 Thank you! Sorry for the confusion there :)
Great video
What that thumb do
Hey do you have your own band or artist project? Would be cool to hear your improv ideas made into songs! Keep it up!
Great video!
Excellent board!
Thanks!
Dude this opening track is 🔥 Do you have it on any streaming platforms?
Thank you! I don't as of right now, but this may end up turning into a full song at some point :)
@@noisegenerator 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Excellent song, where can I listen to it in full?
is the opening song out somewhere???

Where can I get that twin peaks cassette sticker that says "Diane" on it?
The sound at 5:20, is that pure polymoon or is there some gated reverb popping through too?
The board sounds sick! Probably something I would've done differently as far as sound goes, I would've had the rate on the chorus much slower, so you'd still have that vibe but it's a little less vibrato-y.

How do I get the Caroline in that colour scheme??? Looks so good
This was a limited run (from Chicago Music Exchange if I remember correctly) so I don't think they're making them anymore, but it's possible they might pop up on Reverb every now and then!
I loved the song! what's it called?
what's the pedalboard from? love the size of it
in my country it is very difficult to find surveyor. is there a solution?
Great！and whats the song at the beginning plz
Thanks! It's just something I wrote for the video and recorded with this board!
Nice songwriting，luv it！
@@bainhall457 Thanks so much!
makes me want to throw on some School of Seven Bells
wait. is that pedal called "colombia" like the country?
Is there somewhere I can download the first track?
Nice! Love your videos. This is a great little board you ve got there! Where did you get the guitar knobs?
Thank you! I'm pretty sure I got them from a seller on Reverb. If you just search for 'Fender witch hat knobs,' you should be able to find them!
@@noisegenerator Thank you! Will try that! Cheers!!!
How did u make the song for your intro
Song 6:14 ? Please, is amazing
What's the song that plays the first 3 minutes? Does anyone know?
Why do metal musicians have massive pedal boards but shoegazers get by with a simple yet awesome setup😅😂😂
罠ヤゾ⤴︎✨気ィ付けやぁ？🎶

I want one :)
as a noob I‘d like to know in which order the signal is going. right to left?
Yep, right to left! So Guitar -> Shigeharu -> RV-2 -> CE-2 -> Surveyor -> Polymoon -> Amp
Does anyone know the name of the first song? Thanks.
Killer board and killer video. That Twin Peaks Diane sticker caught my eye. What's that from?
Thank you! My fiancee got that for me with a bunch of others, but I believe she found it on Redbubble!
手かわいい。
🔥
The hardest part is to keep the jazzmaster in tune 😅
Are jazzmasters hard to keep in tune? And are they best for this sound? Im trying to recreate this sound with my hss blue strat.

If u got American Original 60s no problems with it
Hey great vid, just wanted to let you know the link to ghost fire seems to be dead :(
Ah bummer, it looks like they might not have a direct store anymore. Thanks so much for the heads up! I'll update the description
Can i play the basic chords (C, G, Em) using pedals?
Yes you can!
Nice pedals…
Where is the tuner?
What is the name of the guitar it’s so nice😭🙏🏻
jazzmaster
First track id? Pls
Russia also listens to shoegaze🥳💔
Man, please tell me the name of the song at 0.23
That's a song I wrote for this video! :)
Song?
What a pickups🙄
Dont conect in chaaaaaainnnnn 😢😢😢😢
"mini-pedal" bro if i remove things like compressor, noise gate and tuner i have 5 pedals i feel insulted 😞😞
Velcro Sucks!
