I watched this last night and enjoyed the hell out of it, and I haven't seen it mentioned on the forum before. Nels Cline and Henry Kaiser do a fairly basic runthrough of different effects types, using some of their own favorite pedals - nothing much new, and highly subjective as always with this type of videos. I guess it just rhymed real well with many of my subjective opinions. I also really liked their playing styles, more noise/experimental than blues jam or metal gymnastics... Several forum favorites mentioned. You can order it from here, ten bucks well spent:

And, in all unlikeliness, if I should ever consider going into a long-term relationship again, I'll be sure to use this video as an acid test - she makes a barfy face at this, she's probably not gonna handle everyday life at my place very well :)

A couple of guys spending the afternoon making weird noises with a few tables full of pedals?  That's MY kind of porn.

Very cool link! I'll have to look into them some more, they're practically my neighbors!
