I have no problemo with your post tho. I like it :D its not like doing youtube gives me a free pass to just do whatever thoughtless nonsense and expect to be praised for it.

I always try to have an angle on shit I do so its nice having a reason to state something, haha. Dont forget Im also a creative person, not just a doer of stupidity! Its important for me to not loose my serious art for the sake of stupid shit being more clickable.

So I think its fresh to get the proper negative reaction instead of just the generic hate comments on youtube.

Also since people dont think Im in here at all probably its also nice to show my face (text) a little, hahah. Im such a lurker when its not directly about me since I know I cant follow thru on a conversation for more than 5min...

I watched this the other day, but didn't read the specifications.
To satisfy the Guinness World Records committee, the pedalboard had to meet a number of exacting criteria.

The pedals had to be readily available from existing commercial models and in full working order. A full inventory had to be kept, schematics, with witnesses on hand to ensure all pedals were connected and live in the signal path. Then video and photographic evidence had to be taken.

Sweetwater says some 155 pieces of evidence had to be turned over before the record could be claimed.
This gargantuan, 70-foot-long pedalboard was assembled at the Clyde Theater in Fort Wayne, Illinois, and saw 319 different stompboxes from 34 different manufacturers mounted on 34 individual pedalboards, with Scallon's signal path journeying through over 500-feet of cabling to reach its logical conclusion – a massive wall of Marshall stacks.

Thirty-four ISO power supplies were used, eight people were needed just to move a quarter of it at a time. As for Scallon, he had 1,248 knobs to dial in the tone he wanted.

The inevitable wind storm sounds are at 28:00 - 29:00.

The best things to come out of this, though, involved a brief appearance by Alex Lifeson & Elise Trouw playing through the tremolo board.

I think we could beat this at ILFMW. At least in 2017 we could have connected all the boards together. But some people have downsized their collections since then.
