![]() Here's a recent version. The silver box on the top left is a BYOC 808 clone, the TR-2 is a Keeley mod, running the Silver LTD at 18 volts and the Small Fry at 12 volts.

I think we've done this before, but I've upgraded mine so it's time to repost anyway. I use two. First, the big board (known as Fat Man):
![]() And the small one (Little Boy): ![]() Go here for detailed descriptions of both. Thanks for looking!

Nothing much...
Just very simple. But notice the TS-9 is before the compressor (via George L). Heresy! But I like it this way (for now). I allows me to use the level on the CS-2 as a master volume before going through the RV-2 (set on Gate!) and from there to the (true bypass) PW tuner. Then out the tuner to the EB volume pedal, and then to the amp. The silver box contains a nine-volt regulator smoothed with 10 uF and 100 uF caps. It's fed by a 12 volt, 1200 mA wall wart (not in picture). Everything's velcro-mounted on a piece of shelving with rubber feet and a boat cleat for handling convenience, it fits in a lap computer-style shoulder bag. The RV-2 and CS-2 stay on for almost everything I play, whether I'm practicing with the stereo or playing with MidLife Crisis.

You fellas
have some great looking pedal boards! I've since changed my pedal board around again but this was my set up for a long time:
![]() Guitar> EB jr Volume> Boss TU-2> Boss CS-2> Sex Drive> Ibanez Super Tube> Ibanez OD855> Ibanez AD99> Ibanez FL301> Arion SCH-1> MXR Phase 100> Dunlop Tremolo/Stereo Pan> MXR Micro Amp> Amplifier Since this pic I have replaced the Micro Amp with a Bad Bob and added the Zinky True Grit and an MXR Noise Gate Line Driver. The madness never ends! Johnny Isaacs

Here's mine. Pedalboard from http://www.nycpedalboards.com/
Effects sequence: Budda Wah=>Keeley Fuzz Head=>Boss TU-2=>Keeley Compressor=>Keeley Tubescreamer=>Barber Tone Pump=>Keeley Katana Boost=>Line 6 DL-4=>EB jr. Volume Pedal=>Loooper switcher for output to two separate amps. Voodoo Pedal Power II underneath the "riser" and all wired together with George L cables. My Pedalboard was a bit more diverse in brand names a year ago, but what can I say - Keeley's stuff is incredible. Every single Keeley pedal replaced another one of the same function that didn't work as well and that includes some pretty big name brands. |

Eric K,
Man, the distortion on your RATs are WAY up there. What are you using those pedals for? My RAT turns to mush with the distortion any higher than 10 or 11 o'clock. Just curious.

This is my pedalboard. It has 11 peds. Nothing fancy. Lots of Danelectro. Cheap but good peds. I am using a Bass Equalizer instead of a Guitar Equalizer. Bass Eq has higher range. The entire setup runs on an SKB PS-45 Stereo Pedal Board. Board can power 8 peds. The additional two that I have is powered through a 1 Spot Power Supply that can be plugged on the onboard outlets of the pedalboard. A single 1 Spot Power Supply can power 5 peds. If I am going to overdo it, I can run 12 more peds on this board. Yeah but what for??? The SKB is similar to a luggage. It weighs a TON without the effects and weighs a megaton with the effects.

Since I'm not good enough to gig/too lazy to get a band together, the 2 complete pedals I have (both DIY clones) are lying around. Since they're a Tycobrahe Octavia and distortion pedal, I never play with both of them on. There is also a rangemaster clone in several pieces because i forgot to order a footswitch.

My Old and new boards.
This was the first pedal board that never made it out to a live gig. I don't know what I was thinking. I was TOO big and not practical at all. I tried to cover ALL my basses with one board.
![]() Here's my more practical and JUST what I need to do a gig board.

I think the RAT's circut n the electronic parts are keep changing by time. I hv been playing 1 RAT2(2004 made) , their pots is totally not linear as normal. Also, they hv stop using chip LM-308, so the sound are more mush ...but it may just fit some people taste. |

The board and pedals weighed about 45 lbs. That's just crazy, and I still hadn't got around to a custom case for it. I ended up giving that 3 tier board away to a young kid I knew. He was reallly excited about it,but he hadn't experienced yet what it was going to take to get it out to gigs.LOL |

Contained in an Electar PBX-1000 powered pedalboard, my pedals are as follows: BOSS CS-2 Compression Sustainer BOSS SYB-3 Bass Synthesizer (good for the occasional odd sound to make people say, "What was that?!") BOSS PH-3 Phase Shifter BOSS OD-3 OverDrive (dedicated solo booster) BOSS OD-3 OverDrive (dedicated for mild grit) BOSS PS-5 SUPER Shifter (dedicated octave divider) BOSS PS-5 SUPER Shifter (various functions: vibrato, harmony lines, whammy effects, doubling, etc.) BOSS TU-2 Tuner BOSS DD-6 Digital Delay (dedicated for reverse sounds) BOSS DD-6 Digital Delay (dedicated for loops; soon to be replaced by this.) BOSS DD-3 Digital Delay (dedicated for delay) BOSS BF-3 Flanger (for occasional chorus-type flanging) BOSS PN-2 Tremolo/Pan BOSS CE-3 Chorus (in stereo [Mode I] for dimension--not chorusing) Barely seen (the little brown corner immediately to the left of the pedalboard): Korg G4 Rotary Speaker Simulator. Unseen: Alesis Microverb. Believe it or not, I use these effects quite judiciously; I simply like a lot of options at my disposal. ;) Joel

Wow !

I kinda wonder though, are these the same people who complain about not getting a "proper" Tele tone or stuff ? Jusy wondering, IMHO

No, I'm not able to hear a difference among battery brands like Eric Johnson (if Eric really possesses this ability, it's truly incredible; if not, I wouldn't be surprised--it's always struck me as an urban legend...but who knows?), but I can tell you that the whole "tone-sucking" complaint heard far and wide regarding increased signal degradation for every non-bypass pedal added is, in my opinion, a bit hyperbolic. I'm certainly not dismissing it, mind you; I just think a lot of players blow the slightest decrease in signal clarity out of proportion, and needlessly obsess about it. Just my opinion, mind you; I'm sure many folks would readily disagree with me. Simply put, I'm thrilled with my pedal board, as plentiful as it is; what's more, I'm thrilled with my tone. If I may be so bold to say, I think I get a pretty damn good sound from my set-up. Joel

Back(25-30 years ago) in the day (as they're fond of saying nowadays), i had two linked multi-tier pedalboards with every effect known to man at the time......it was seriously impressive to see, Bro' !!! Yeah Texsunburst59, you'da been proud..... Ah, but what a noisy, tone-sucking (especially the Tychobrahe pedalflanger!) huge heavy hissing hassle it was too, what with the mismatched input/output impedences that were common then, very few (if any!) fx with true bypass, no buffering, wallwarts all but unheard of, let alone filtered and regulated power supplies etc etc.... for some of the younger cats here, this sad state of fx affairs i've described was the norm then, state of the art ! ah, the "good ol' days" !! i eventually got disgusted with it and chucked it all and reverted to plugging straight in.....but in the past few years, i'm back to using a very few fx, and judiciously at that......thankfully most everything nowadays is compatible, has true bypass and is buffered, with proper input/output impedances, and with filtered, regulated power ! Guitar fx have NEVER been better than those available today..... Some of the boards y'all have are truly impressive, especially compared to my lil' piece of pine plank.... THANX for posting your pix ! Last edited by maestrovert; September 1st, 2006 at 09:34 AM. |

You often read here about people trying to get this or that 'Tele' tone and then you read their set up and i often wonder if a badly planned and laid out board is the heart of the problem. Maestrovert is right though, only a few years ago alot of stomp boxes just sounded like bacon frying, the quality of todays stuff is very impressive, i just dont have dainty enough feet to go tap dancing round a pedalboard. Just a-thinkin'

Iīve found that usually the Multi-effects "suck" the basic sound of the guitar and amp more than the effects pedals. Iīve had that experience with some Digitech multi-effects like RP6 although they still sound reasonably good. With several effects pedals Iīve used throughout the years and I havenīt met any bad "tone sucking" problems. I prefer single effects pedals because of their low "tone sucking" characteristics to the original sound. I admit that thereīs little humming when several pedals in use but I donīt think thatīs very much of a problem. Even though there might be some humming, I think it still doesnīt affect negatively to the basic sound.
