Ongoing History Daily: The world’s largest guitar pedalboard

Alan Cross 0 Comments ,

Guitarists love their effects pedals, but no one is into this more than Rob Scallon. He decided to see how many pedals he could wire into one pedalboard.

With the help of a music store in Fort Wayne, Indiana, he managed to connect a total 319 pedals mounted on 34 boards and linked together with about 500 feet of cable. The set-up contained no duplicates, no switching systems, and only pedals available on the market. And yes, it was possible to turn on every single pedal at once.

A final story of over-the-top weirdness next time. And if you missed yesterday’s story about the world’s biggest drumkit, go here.
