Pedalboard Walkthrough

[WASD9ox]

how many pedals can you use for this ?

[Joec9t]

Great demo, it's making want an octaswitch more and more

[alfbarroso]

How the Line Selector is working on it? I mean, is it splitting part of the signal chain, "playing" a booster "role"...? Sorry for bad english...

[MrGijsOnwijs]

@alfbarroso Hi, no, the Line Selector let's you choose between singal path A or B or both. In this case I have chosen to put a delay in A and an other delay in B. By switching, I can choose when I want to hear wich delay...

[alfbarroso]

@MrGijsOnwijs Great, I got an LS-2, too! Seems that Line Selector would be a good option for pedals that are not used frequently, like the very very wieerd ones that everybody's got in their pedalboards. By the way, you got a huge selection of pedals, more than 8 pedals on it, haven't you? Have you put more than one pedal per loop? Thanks for your attention!

[Boefkick]

wow man, sounds pretty awesome! :D

[billyr1]

Will that switcher change the channels on a Mesa head too? Or is it just for pedals?

[MrGijsOnwijs]

@billyr1 HI! The second edition of the Octaswitch has this feature

[carloswalter1975]

Sweet setup! Did you manufacture this pedalboard yourself??? I gotta get myself an Octaswitch!!!

[abradfordajb]

Nice demo .... have my eye on the Octa-Switch. Pedalboard is really organized  :-)

rgds

[pandamanparty]

what amp are you using? it sounds great

[MrGijsOnwijs]

@pandamanparty This video is recorded with a Marshall JCM2000 TSL100. Now, I use a Mesa Boogie Express 5:50.

[macbean79]

I cannot seem to get a decent tone out of my Seymour Duncan TT Mayhem. Yours sounds awesome. Could you tell me the settings you use?

[MrGijsOnwijs]

@macbean79 Hi! It depends on your amplifier and guitar as well. Here are the settings: Bass 90% Mid 25% Treble 40% Gain 40% and the switch set to Low - 600 hz.

[LOOT606]

damm



[sixstringfretter]

Interesting. Never seen an 'Octaswitch'. I'll have to look a little deeper at this...

[NvdVen]

waar heb je eigenlijk het pedalboard vandaan? ziet er ziek uit! geweldige demo btw!

[WASD9ox]

this is pretty much a cheaper gcx ? can you use a number of amps with this for different sounds?

[joshbaezmusic]

how do you like your carl martin? i've heard a ton of mixed reviews on it..

[bosscollector]

Tone at :58 is just absolutely KILLER!

[corissimo]

Wow, you are using every square inch of that board. I want an octaswitch pretty bad.

[tomiclav]

dude those sounds were awsome! did'nt know ocd could sound so heavy and gainy!



[primer111]

Hey

very good sounds

I'm interesting your 4 preset, which pedals use to make this sound?

regards

[pandamanparty]

what type of pedal board is that? like the brand lol

[StrateMoW]

quelle est a marque de vos patch?

[leomotta79]

Hi MrGijsOnwijs, how u doing? I have a pedalboard with 9 pedals, so I really need one of those... I see you´ve post this at something around 2 years ago. Still have the Octa-Switch? Still happy with it?? I´m thinking on buying it, but how is something quite expensive here in Brazil, I have to be more sure.

[aeppra1985]

dude, this is like my dream pedal board. I would add on a big muff, but it's just the cream over the donut... Man, the octa-switch wow. Good job on the good looks and order of the pedals.

[EstebanLee7991]

what brand is your pedalboard? how much did it cost you? thanks

[heidrich22]

Learn how to play, please, and stop spending money on eletronics.

[rideredcr250r]

@heidrich22 make a national known record then talk shit. You fuckin hater.

[punkmusicmetal]

Hey question, can this also be made to channel switch my amps distortion channels as well?

[nikitofin]

hello, i have a question, you have to program this pedalboard? sorry my english is not good

[danielheguer4]

the best pedal board ever

"U ROCK"

[fiddlefolk]

good job! Levels are matched well! Very flexible setup! Great sounds! You got me thinking of a rig like this!!!

[ArtVandaleit]

hey man, nice board!!! i was thinking of getting the octa switch as well.. what kind of board do u have? and the riser?

[pancakes76194]

do you just use the manual tap tempo for your dd20? or is there an Fs-5u hidden somewhere haha

[TheEnricoRosExp]

Very nice pedalboard!

[thatotherguy9782]

how do u do your wah?

[MrGijsOnwijs]

@thatotherguy9782

With my right foot. No...just kidding...before my octaswitch...the first pedal of th chain.

[AdelphosW31]

Hi MrGijsOnwijs, Nice sound!

I have a question. How do you chain your pedals to Octa Switch? You have more than 8 pedals there.

It'll be great to hear from you.

[MrGijsOnwijs]

@AdelphosW31 and oxdpt99;

It is not that hard. Certain pedals (such as my delays) are together in 1 loop. Iv'e got still the ability to reach the front pedals with my feet to turn them on/off.

Thanks!

[tomiclav]

@MrGijsOnwijs oh....so pedals have to be on all the time, coz i somehow figured that the octaswitch turns them on? xD this device is great finally i can have my gilmour sounds ;))

[oxdpt99]

Hey great stuff man!! I see that you have alot more than just 8 pedals, how does the octaswitch handle more than 8 at a time?  Im guessing maybe some are out of the octaloop and are used just like standard stompboxes? Great pedals, great board, great tone!!

[WhiteStrat1]

What kind of patch cables do you use? Thanks.

[MrGijsOnwijs]

@WhiteStrat1

George L's

[ianybanezz]

Awesome tones!

[sportsportsport]

SICK!

[AwesomeBuddy12]

Why are you using a Boss ls-2 if you have a octa switch?

[owXo]

Does the Octa-Switch have the ability of changing your amps channels?

[MrGijsOnwijs]

@owXo

no

[mikolene97]

niiice tone!

[William102582]

can use it like one knob per pedal?

[javyfish]

do you put the octaswitch in front of the amp or in the effect loop?

[MrGijsOnwijs]

@javyfish

In front of the amp.

[posiedonpowertrio]

I very much like the board

[vegasbombrocks]

just put it in a loop and include said loop in all your combinations.

[Hailstonedpikachu]

sound and looks awesome, now how much does a setup like that cost? (will regret asking)

[MrGijsOnwijs]

@Hailstonedpikachu

With all power supplies, cables and stuff, around 2000 dollars.

[Hailstonedpikachu]

@MrGijsOnwijs new i would regret asking lol, thanks though

[jmoarch]

great setup! I'm thinking of getting the octaswitch but I'm at a loss as what to do with the wah. I'm assuming you have to run it before or after the octaswitch (if you don't want it in a loop) but then I'd have to put it before all the effects (like distortion) which I wouldn't like or after all the effects (like delay) which would suck too. Is there any way around this? Thanks...

[MrGijsOnwijs]

@jmoarch I think the best way for you is to buy two wah wah's ;-) no other way optional I'm afraid.

[JayRJ2]

hey MrGijsOnwijs can u make a vid going through the different pedals u use. its a sick setup

[Toastbug]

pretty cool..just stop making that metal shit and try some Shoegaze..

[morganchavis]

So with the Octa-switch you pretty much just put which pedals you want in a loop and when you hit that loops switch it turns them on? I'm really interested in the Octa-switch but most of what I've read has been quite confusing.

[BlizzySOAD]

@morganchavis

not realy

it has 8 loops, you can add as many pedals you want in each loop

then there are 8 switches, and you can choose which loops should be on when you use each switch

endless combinations

its pretty simple, yet, effective

[MrGijsOnwijs]

@morganchavis All pedals are on but with the octaswitch you can decide which you want to hear when...

[gilmourjunkie]

Great sounding board man. Just a quick question, what are you using the LS2 for in this set up?

[GuitarFreakNation]

Hey. Very impressive board and tones. Might I ask what guitar and amp you are using?

[MrGijsOnwijs]

Hi! Thanks! In this vid I use a Gibson Les Paul Studio and a Marshall TSL 100 with a 1936 cabinet.

[nicoguita]

Very Cool!!!! You have great tones...

[dboy1929]

hey quick question. Im totally new to bypass switchers and I am wondering how they work when you have a boss pedal.. Like do you have to have the pedal on already and then click the looper channel? or do you just click the looper channel the pedal is on and it turns on? Sorry im just confused..

[berherbi]

nice tones and sounds

thx berher

[armymankr]

cool walkthrough, i have a question though. can you choose to turn on different pedal either in series or parallel? for example, if you have two distortion pedals, can you set them to run in parallel?

[MrGijsOnwijs]

Hi! Do you mean that you want to switch between 2 distortion pedals and the option to use them both together? In that case; you can choose to put distortion 1 in a loop and distortion 2 in another loop. With the dipswitches you can choose to hear them both or seperately.

[armymankr]

I guess I need to clarify a bit, when you put two distortion pedals each in a different loop, and engage both loops, do they create two separate sounds played at the same time? or is the first distorted sound gets more distorted through the second pedal? I'm looking for two separate distortion sounds to be played through at the same time (kinda like Red Witch Famulus pedal) thanks!

[MrGijsOnwijs]

No, that is not possible. The numbers of the Octaswitch are in a chain. Number 1 is the first pedal where the signal will go through. Number 8 the last. So when you add 2 distortions, the first one will indeed boost the one after it. Hope you now know the answer. Good Luck!

[armymankr]

@MrGijsOnwijs alright, you've been very helpful, thanks!

[tomlikesacdc]

holy crap, we have the exact same taste in tone! I loved every single tone you showed in this video. Especially the Seymour Duncan Twin Mayhem, that was awesome and keep it up!

[JoshLGuitar]

No analog delay? And what amp are you running all this into?

[insidejokeband]

I see you have more than 8 pedals on your board. How do you have them all hooked up?

[MrGijsOnwijs]

That's simple: The wah and the tuner are outside the Octaswitch the delays are in 1 loop and the 2 high gain distortions are in 1 loop. Thanks!

[JeroenSchaaf]

Te gek jo! klinkt goed!

[petelarios]

Did you assemble this yourself?

[MrGijsOnwijs]

Yes!

[MarshallGunner]

YES! thats awesome man. especially #4. Anyway, how do you find the Octaswitch I just ordered one a couple weeks ago. What cables you using?

[MrGijsOnwijs]

Thanks for your reply! I ordered my version a couple of days after the release date and I received it within 2 weeks. Maybe it is out of stock for a while? I use George L's cables. The best option for flexibility and tone in my opinion. By the way; nice video's on your channel! Especially your "Sounds" (Johnson, EVH etc.) video!

Keep up the good work! Cheers!

[MarshallGunner]

It was out of stock at the place I ordered it, but they're reordering more so I should get it soon.

[timmu666]

nice....

[schizo910]

Awesome!
