Behold my massive board of pedals

What are these @Paul_C? Looks like an Etch A Sketch

They are the fabulous Poly Beebo.

I'm planning to move one or two of them on in the future, but first I need to make an album or two with just them - next up is three Zoias.

Fishboy7 · November 2022

My relatively minimal current setup.

I've been through a bunch of different delays and mod pedals lately and settled on these.

The DM-2W has seen of some more exotic delays. Just a nice simple delay that always sounds good.

Turns out I also prefer the supro trem to the Spaceman Delta ii, the harmonious monk and the revivaltrem.

That is one tasteful pedal board!

Looks great @Fishboy7 those supro trems sound really good in the demos

Right side is my "bass" board, left is guitar.

Wow, what are, well, most of those pedals? Looks great!

@AntonHunter ;;

Tnx. I made several changes the last 3 years.

I went from:

to:

And for now I've settled with these:

HBE Lorba Fuzz, based on the Bosstone. Dunno, never heard a bosstone. But it is really nice with good clean up. I've set it medium gain.
Lovepedal COT red. It is Marshall based I think. Single knob that adjusts bias. Gives you more gain, when turned clockwise.
I've set it pretty low gain.
Cusack tap a whirl v1. Crazy tremolo. Many wave patterns and wave forms. I just use one setting though that sounds nice to me.
Tubesteader Lightkeeper. Pretty clean tube preamp. Somehow it doesn't work with 12V with me, allthough it says it needs 12V. I run it at 9V. Set to give some more sparkle. Pretty punchy cleans as well. And works like a charm with all the drives/fuzzes I've had this far. It's always on. Don't really use the second footswitch a lot (you can assign boost and/or mid shift), because the HBE and Lovepedal react really well to the volume knob.
3Degrees Audio Bygones. Wonderfull piece of kit. Can do Demedash like things and a lot more. Add some hiss, crackle, pops, warble, and lots of other stuff. You can save settings as well. Used mono in/stereo out and is always on.
Neunaber Iconoclast. Very easy to use speaker sim. Used in stereo. I think you can even use different settings for each stereo channel, but didn't dive into the software yet.
Mission Engineering 529 USB power supply. I have most of the pedals daisychained to the 500mA out. Iconoclast is on the 150mA out. Maybe I'm underpowering a bit, but I didn't encounter any problems so far. And otherwise I just add some more crackle and hiss with the bygones

Swissten powerbank. Very powerfull.

I use this board in a very simple way, but if you like you can get into fancier stuff as well with the Bygones and Tap a whirl. The board itself is made of plastic roof molding/siding.

Wazmeister · November 2022

This is the board @jeroenvanhulsteijn is describing;

AntonHunter · November 2022

Thanks for the rundown @jeroenvanhulsteijn , I'm going to check out that powerbank and Bygones first I reckon.

Time for another change, this time I'm keeping things sort of simple.

@Paul_C have they sorted out the noise floor and tone changing from the early version of the Poly? I had one of the first, and was rreally disappointed by the signal colouration and noise from it.

Paul_C · November 2022

They can be sensitive to power supplies when it comes to noise, so I don't daisy chain them, and with my start patch (which is just a connection from in to out) there is a small difference in sound between that and bypass and a little bit of lag which is more noticeable with three on at once.

With just one in the chain and its own supply (I use 1A cheapo supplies from ebay) it's as quiet as anything else.

This is my "travelling light" board. I just use it for rehearsals with a small amp

It's supposed to kind of replicate what I have on my main board, but using smaller (and cheaper) Chinese clone pedals, for the most part.

The Reecho is said to be a clone of a Boss DD-3. It isn't. They're both white with blue writing. They're both digital delays. That's a s far as it goes!

The Ana Echo is supposed to be a clone of an Ibanez analogue delay. It may well be, I have no idea, but it is nice. The Mooer Ninety Orange is a pretty good clone of an MXR Phase 90, the Dark Mouse is a pretty good copy of a Rat II and the Mosky Dyna is pretty close to the MXR Dyna Comp, albeit with fewer controls.

The Green mile is said to be a clone of a Tubescreamer, either a TS9 or a TS808 depending on which mode the switch is in. Again, I can't vouch for that, but it is a really nide sounding pedal.

I've got to ask - how big's the main board?!

Imagine all the same pedals...only full-sized

You’re not far off! Actually, the main board has the same number of pedals, but one is an EHX Tone Tattoo, so it’s three pedals in one, and it’s physically bigger because they’re all full sized pedals. The board itself is a Behringer PB1000. I’ll post a picture at some point

@Kebabkid ;

How do you use the Gigrig? To make loops or just as remote bypass for each pedal?

It's connected to most of the pedals apart from the Keeley Compressor and TC Flashback
Slot 1 is actually connected to both the Keeley TS-808 and Xotic EP Boost
I've deployed the Flip Flop Switch for Slots 2 & 3, the OCD and Sinvertek, as I like to go from a rhythm sound/low-med gain with the OCD to the full blown lead sound on the Sinvertek and so it's really just a pedal switcher with isolated.

The QMX really cleans up your board sound and it was very noticeable from the get-go and of course, the Cioks has isolated loops. It also saves on stomping on the pedal footswitches or knocking the settings on other pedals, which can be a bit of a stretch at a times or even in the case of the OCD, an unreliable switch prone to breaking (I think it's stupidly connected to the circuit board).

New board for an upcoming tour. Decided on a Quartermaster after a mishap with a malfunctioning pedal in a big venue - never felt stress like it!

@kylef
Looks like you have pedals in front of the amp and in the loop. How does that work with the quartermaster? Not seen these used in 4CM before?

Also, did the quartermaster reduce noise?

As you can probably tell I'm considering getting one....

Here's the main gigging board ....

Latest incarnation - recent additions include the RYRA and 2022 model Duellist which I’m particularly enjoying (using the SRV mod setting in the Sting Singer side and the Amp Like setting in the Heavy Hand side).

LastMantra · December 2022

I don't have any idea what 99% of these pedals do, so it's just lots of pictures of wee boxes arranged nicely

They don’t need to DO anything. They’re things of beauty in themselves!

Finally got hold of a RE202.

Yup, that is definitely a massive board of pedals

ColWilkie · December 2022

Current iteration, following the recent purchase of the Meris LVX and a swap to the CIOKS power system. Left some space now for future additions.

For the record, this is for playing at home so the size and weight is not an issue

Howdy, Stranger!
