Show us your Pedal board.

[KeepSwinging]

It's lot lighter then a piece of wood the same size and was cheap but it slides around the floor with the slightest amount of pressure, And it's really not big enough for me but thanks for the compliment!

[Bugsville]

my FINAL incarnation...


knobs taped to hold my "sweet spots" when gigging

and a discovery I made with the mxr carbon copy delay - I took this pic of outside, brought the board back in and saw that the pointers on the carbon copy's knobs glow in the dark! maybe this is not a new observation, but it was new to me!

[andrenighthound]

updated my pedal board:



swapped out the launch pad for the boosta grade. the launch pad does more but i don't need the extra features. boosta grande is way quieter! i couldn't believe it!

swapped out the stock sd1 for the keeley mod version. my take on it is that the keeley sounds a little better but has way more range and overdrive! i guess there's only so much you can do to a sd 1 becasue it sounds great stock!

swapped out the boss tu-2 for the korg pitchblack. the korg is true bypass and has nice bright big screen. the pitchblack is plastic were as the boss is metal casing, so the pitchblack would be better off on a pedal board were a boss tu-2 can take a beaten.

From the Korg Website:

"Sleek, black and tough aluminum die cast body for superb durability"

Not plastic.

The pitchblack seems very solid to me (I own one too). I'd have no worries about putting it on the floor or a board.

[andrenighthound]

oops! it's so light i mistaken it for plastic! thanks for the info

My board:



It is going to change soon btw. The Fulltone Fulldrive, the Boss FS-5L and the Boss Tremolo will be taken off. It will be replaced by my new amps pedal (AC30: reverb and tremolo) and an Emma ReezaFRATzitz (what's in a name...)

[KeepSwinging]

I ditched the baking pan, thing was driving me crazy. Went ahead and built a board based on the pedal train. This is the first thing I've ever built so the craftsmanship isn't amazing but it works just fine. Ibanez CS9 Chorus, Dyna Comp, and Planet Waves tuner pedal will take up the remaining space.

Go here for detailed descriptions of both. Thanks for looking!

How do you like the Voodoo Lab Chorus pedal?

[BartMan]

Most recent iteration. FX chain goes RMC2 > Pitchblack > Tone Press > Zendrive > Timmy > Phaser > Flutter Tone > Deeelay > Red Reverberator.

a few things I gotta say here:

"Wow, there are some big pedal boards out there."

1)Size matters

2) I am AMAZED at how many pedals are being stuffed on these boards. Do you use all of em?

3)How do you keep track of where everything is? Ever forget and turn on the wrong thing?

4)Do you sing while you're doing the pedal board tap dance? I have a 3 button footswitch and I can barely operate that and chew gum at the same time!

5) I'd bet some of these pedal boards were more expensive than your main guitar.

6) and finally...WOW!

only if you know how to use it!

i can't speak for anyone else but yes.

3)How do you keep track of where everything is? Ever forget and turn on the wrong thing?

were only human...

hell yeh! especially my favorite partcasters! my board is well over a grand.

6) and finally...WOW!

love it or leave it!

"Wow, there are some big pedal boards out there."

Not really, but is does improve your options.

2) I am AMAZED at how many pedals are being stuffed on these boards. Do you use all of em?
Yes, I use all of mine, every set, ever night. I have more that I can't fit on the board so I opt to leave them out of it.

3)How do you keep track of where everything is? Ever forget and turn on the wrong thing?
Everything on my board is powered by the Furman power conditioner/supply, so I just shut off the master breaker and everything goes dead. Nothing goes wrong.

4)Do you sing while you're doing the pedal board tap dance? I have a 3 button footswitch and I can barely operate that and chew gum at the same time!
Yes, I sing all lead vocals in my band, and am the only guitar player. I incorporate pedal board dance moves into my stage act. LOL

5) I'd bet some of these pedal boards were more expensive than your main guitar.

No, not more expensive, but collectively they'd buy a heckuva nice couple of guitars!

Cheers!!

Tell the truth, you're just trying to hide your settings from the rest of us! :LOL:

Cheers to your neat design!

this is the latest version (I'm working on building a new board ) I've been experimenting with board layout and effects chain so the plan here is still fluid, but so far the chain is:
Planet Waves tuner (just got dropped so it will be replaced)
Boss CS2 comp (old and not great)
FullDrive2
Jekyll & Hyde
Bad Monkey
Volume
Arion Bass Chorus (love the swirly sound it gives)
DigiDelay
Arion Stereo Analog Delay
Sonic Stomp

hey guys, here's my pedal board, or lack thereof:



boss tuner
marshall vibrotrem
ibanez tubescreamer w/808 mod
mxr micro amp
boss dd-5 w/ tap tempo thingy
digitech whammy pedal

im trying to add a boss compressor/sustainer but i dont know what place int he lineup i should put it...any suggestions?

[missfortune]

Pitchblack --> Bone Bender --> Mule --> VariOboost --> Sugar Baby --> Short Timer.

The Buddha of Tone and the Altoids tin add to the sustain.

I'd put the compressor right after the tuner.

Question...How well does your Whammy pedal track being last in the chain? When I had one, I found it tracked much better if it was first in line. (This was a first-generation Whammy pedal. The newer ones might track better than my old one.)

Later...

hey man thanks for your reply...

actually last night during practice i experimented with various diff positions and youre absolutely right about the compressor, it def sounds best right after the tuner, additionally ive moved the whammy to first in line and i find that it seems to have a better effect in terms of clarity, it seemed like it was cutting my signal a bit last in line, or maybe it was all in my head but i swear i can tell the difference in having it first in line rather than last.

basically now im running the setup like this:

72 tele deluxe
digitech whammy
boss tu-2 tuner
boss compressor/sustainer --> which has AWESOME sustain by the way
ibanez TS-9 w/808 chip
mxr micro amp
boss DD-5 w/ tap tempo

into a 74 musicman HD130 212 on the low power setting.

ive never used a compressor/sustainer in my life until this week and its actually pretty damn good sounding. thanks for the advice.

newest board for reggae and general yummy tones.

[Scotty72]

Finally, after years of using just a delay, I got me a compressor, an overdive, a power source and made me a board.
Still missing a reverb (you can see where it'll be) and maybe a tremolo in the future.
It's tiny and very practical, I think, specially the power source, a little too much for just three pedals but I think worth it.
It will see it's first gig this friday.

Crappy phone pic.

Fairly basic here. 1) Distortion, 2) Vibe, 3) OD, 4) Delay, 5) Chorus and a Tuner.
