Welcome to get offset. My name is Emily and I’m here today with a big old box. I say that a lot and people have pointed out to me that there is slang boxes, slang for something that’s not really what I intend. I just, he made a big old cardboard box that says fender on it, but hint. This is not a guitar.

[00:00:30] Nevertheless, I’m excited about it. I’m so excited about it. Cause I bought it with my own money. I picked it out. Let’s take a look. Oh, it’s Tweed. Well, what could it be

[00:00:44] other than terrible puns?

[00:00:53] This is, let me, let me just finish on packing it. There’s a lot to unpack here anyway. Oh my Lord. You ever get a pedal board and then not have a good solution for. That was gross. So somebody else’s hair, um, carrying it around. Oh, I hit my funny bone. This is the fender Tweed pedal board case. This is a size small, which I’m hopeful will fit this board.

[00:01:32] I bought from Squatch the measurements seem to line up. And I think that might work. I think it’s going to work. So it has

[00:01:48] a little rubber feet on it. There is no lock, but I think that’s going to matter these little butterfly clips. So you flip them up, you turn them, they open. Ooh.

[00:02:08] Look at that velvety goodness, let’s scoot over. Oh yes. That was pretty luxurious. Feeling on the inside Silicon packets do not eat it. Pass a certification check. On August 16th and this has some kind of neat little features. I am now immediately going to see if it fits my squash gourd. Yes. The measurements on the website were perfect.

[00:02:45] Look at that. I have a little case for my squash board now. And it closes, will it close when I have pedals in the background? It should. I sure hope so. Uh, otherwise I’ll be very sad. I don’t myself. Um, but yes, this is, this is that, uh, it fits and it has a couple, like I said, it has a couple other features.

[00:03:13] It has these little straps. So you can strap down your board to transport it more securely, or you can kind of make it a more permanent thing. Um, I think that would probably involve looping it in and looping it down. So you can tie basically have this be permanently the bottom of your pedalboard and.

[00:03:44] That’s really handy when you’re on, when you just want to do a quick setup and tear down, they just do that. Oh my goodness. So there you can unsnap, this has already come on snap. You can snap her on snap and you can get that. Oh yeah, that was easy. It detaches. And that’s what there’s a little feeder for.

[00:04:16] So you can keep your board in this part, just remove this top part. Uh, and then you’d be looking split, ready to start and stop your set. Pretty neat. If I do say so myself, let’s see the padding, the foam pile doesn’t really come out. It’s very, it is soft. So, uh, I’ve had this board from Squatch based, um, North Seattle area and I just haven’t used it because I didn’t really have a bag that fit it.

[00:04:53] So I am going to make a board in time with, uh, my squash board. That will be a different video. Um, but I, a lot of things. As you’ve probably been able to tell I’m probably going to put my Gail by spruce effects on they’re probably going to do the blooper. Um, I might make it kind of more of an ambient board, but I haven’t really decided yet.

[00:05:23] So I would love to know what you all think I should do. Um, I, I do happen them to play some kind of country music gigs. So I was thinking about that. I was also thinking about maybe doing, um, a board for like the loosely Americana. I’d probably put it more like replacements ask, um, band that I’m in.

[00:05:44] Sometimes you can actually see the reflection of the ring light in my glasses, which is why I’d never used that ring light, but I needed a little bit of balance to this late today. Yeah. So that was a bit of a digression. So I’m yeah, not quite sure what it is exactly. I want to put on this board. My possibilities seem and feel pretty endless.

[00:06:11] Um, yeah, I mean, I used to do a book. I used to have my main board used to be for my kind of singer songwriter in ambient kind of vibey. Melodic music. And I haven’t done that in a while. It would require a Looper. I have the blooper don’t have that on a board for some reason. I also have, um, a boss Looper that I don’t have on this, this board for some reason.

[00:06:38] Uh, that could be kind of cool. Yeah. I definitely want to put the Albion here kind of, regardless of what it is, uh, the big year B, I want some sort of tremolo solution, um, I have lots of options thinking this is a beautiful board. So these were made by Dan Dolan. I think that these, and he did my flat board too, though.

[00:07:03] That was part of his personal brand and not the Squatch. So I’m just gonna time. I’m just gonna put this board in this carrying case. And, uh, then, uh, I’m going to stop this video and think, wait for that to launch, wait for y’all to tell me what to do. I might just ignore you all. Like I did when I asked what somebody should learn on the of, and then just, uh, did not do any of the songs that people recommend them because I was hoping.

[00:07:49] That I would have more time to learn more songs. And I’m glad I did not spend of time doing that, honestly. So just strap this boy in here. Not hard was not hard to do with that though. I don’t know if I would ever make it unless I were to like cut sluts for the straps in there. I don’t think I’d want to be like.

[00:08:17] Putting pedals on top of these straps here. So I don’t think that I would actually use the quick release because then you would have to, um, store like these straps somewhere. So the quick release, probably not something I would do, unless again, there was a way for me to ease unless I, you know, cut some little holes or had some easier way to.

[00:08:45] Uh, store the straps through or underneath the board itself. I wish I was still actually be very difficult to like, get everything to the right tightness. So I kind of don’t foresee myself, um, doing, doing that, but this is a perfect, pretty perfect fit. Um, just a Luff enough leeway to not really be bothered.

[00:09:08] Let’s see if, how easy it is to. One that up and

[00:09:16] how easy it is. Not easy with one hand, not easy. What you’re trying to look at a little bit. Cool.

[00:09:34] That doesn’t make sense to me really. Is that how it works. So we’re just kind of, no,

[00:09:47] aren’t you glad you’re watching this? Oh, it’s because I haven’t, um, backwards.

[00:09:57] That looks more correct.

[00:10:03] Well, it’s the right way. Is it easy? No, still not easy to do. And this kind of weird unnatural position,

[00:10:18] then we take little snap peas, snap them back in. If we feel like it. I thought that seemed like it was going the other way before. Boom, shakalaka. I say before, I’m done close it up. Closes tight in the little butterfly clips. Snap them down one by one. There you have it. So I actually, um, for my, I got one of these from my big board as well, little bit harder to, uh, get the big board in the shot.

[00:11:01] So I’m just gonna put that. I like that I’d had a, um, kind of messenger style bag that I had been using with my big board. And it was nice because it had a pocket. I could store extra stuff in it, but it was not nice because it, uh, doesn’t really stand. Straight up well, and also just kind of like flopping all over the place.

[00:11:24] I really, one is something that you could just put it in the back of the van or put side stage and not worry about it, like going flat. And also this is a sturdy or dated, like I have, um, my pedal board was featured on pedal board of the day and it says as far as like number of pedals and like sounds you can get out of it.

[00:11:49] It is a relatively simple board. It was like five pedals on that thing. Um, but yeah, I mean, I have the milkman, the amp on it, and the chase bliss, automaton, the mayor’s Enzo, like it’s not cheap board. Um, I would like to be able to protect them, was those pedals a lot more than they than just like some flip-floppy kind of thing.

[00:12:13] And also in general, like if I were. Like this would fit in an overhead compartment. Um, the full-size one I also think would fit in an overhead compartment. I’m going to get up and like show it to you. Is it heavy? Yes, it’s a little on the heavy side, but it is also sturdy.

[00:12:39] So here’s the large size. Ooh, big boy out of my way. I don’t know why. And here is the, um, small size, not medium, small, and they stand up on their own. It’s actually going to be really, really nice. Um, Just nicer way to store my store my stuff. So check them out there. Definitely let’s send your website because I bought them pretty recently.
