The 30ms is a great pedal, isn't it?

Picked it up used as I was curious about it...turned into a keeper

I really want to try one. I use a TC Mimiq Mini at the moment for solos, it really livens things up. Also interested in the EHX Slapback Echo

That's a really nice board @digitalkettle. How do you use the FreqOut?

I've just moved it over from my 'recording board' so it's not been out with the band yet...hopefully it will behave and fill in all those awkward spots where you go for a bit of feedback and it all dries up. Should save me a bit of contorting when trying to line the guitar up with a floor-mounted, horizontal 2x12

Depending on how you're playing it, other things can happen which are more subtle than foot-on-monitor moments...check the first 20 seconds of this old SotM entry...there are notes in there that I didn't really play...quite spooky:

How is the mini Wah?

My guitar wah is one of the massive Vox Satriani ones. It's lovely but it is far too big really.

I've always liked it - sound wise it's a 'sorted' Crybaby - no tone suck and just sounds good - useage wise you just learn to plant your foot pretty far forward (instep in the middle with lots of toe end overhang - if the ball of your foot is on the pedal you're fecked and can't operate it properly but it quickly becomes habit to do it 'right')

My BBE Wah is nicer but fancied having something truly plug and go.

There's also the halfway house size-wise of the Crybaby Junior - think it's basically the same circuit as the Mini but with the voicing switch on the outside, and an LED. Picked one up recently as a first foray into wah-world. Still trying to decide whether to squeeze it onto the board, or just stick it on the floor.

@digitalkettle wow that sounds really pretty. I don't think I've heard it on a clean sound before. I'm sure there are lots of creative possibilities for it

I drilled some rubber feet into the side of my 2x12 so I can stand it upright. It takes up less stage space and I can hear it better, but the head sticks over the sides. It's nice to have the flexibility anyway

Here's what I'm using at the moment. Just added the amazing Golden Royale:)

I guess the reverb doesn't really need to be on the board but it does fit quite nicely.

MCluer · May 2023

Works for me.

...and means you get to kick it for the wonderful sound of rattling springs!

@MCluer ;

Whats that revervb/tremolo? Looks cool.

Also interesting to see two Lightspeeds appear in the last page. What do you make of it?

MCluer · May 2023

@UnclePsychosis ;
The reverb/tremolo is a Milkman F-Stop...I wasn't sure at first but now love it...it's subtle but brilliant.
If I was only to have one OD, I would keep the Lightspeed. It's superb both with single coils and humbuckers.

Paul_C · May 2023

I'm really only concentrating on the bottom two at the moment, but I fancied finding out what three Moods would sound like together

I reacquired a Kilobyte after foolishly selling my old one.

Very happy with this lot. Although the form factor of the Double Rock is a gigantic PITA.

I may need to get a different board to get it to sit properly. Although then I'd be tempted to add more pedals and I don't want to do that.

new pedalboard complete

uksaint7 · June 2023

So after 40 years of playing electric guitar I just put together my first pedalboard! I've had a few pedals over the years and a few multi-effects but never an actual pedalboard. So broke out the velcro for the first time, most of the pedals were purchased used and came with velcro on. I was planning to make my own cables- haven't got round to that yet so just bodged with what was lying around, I'm not gigging at the moment so I don't need it to be roadworthy. The board is a Rockboard Tres 3.0 and I fitted one of their integral patchbays. I'd also purchased their 'Tray' for mounting my Cioks DC7 but there wasn't enough room without removing the central support strut the Tray fixes to so have cable-tied it for now. If anybody wants to buy a Tray for their Rockboard hit me up! Overall am pleased with it, much better than the disorganised rabble of music gear on the floor I am so accustomed to.

Had to upgrade my pedalboard due to power and space requirements. Used primarily for bass playing.

soma1975 · June 2023

Upon discovering the Cry Baby Clyde McCoy wah I had for sale works perfectly AFTER my fuzz face I've put it on the board.

The Sonus 1968 Fuzz is a beautiful and musical sounding NKT germanium thingy and sounds very pretty.

The SD-1 has been a revelation after a decade of going through boutique drives, none of which sound better than this.

The Orca sounds great and has 2 presets.

The Flamma reverb is very versatile too and you can save a preset for each reverb type. I just leave it on a subtle plate setting.

Just enough space for a little tuner, or a tempo switch for the vibe.

Just added the Royal Jelly and Deep Oggin.

I do need to tidy up the wiring a bit, The underside is a mess

Is your back row raised a bit. I'd like to do that, but how...?

Fishboy7 · July 2023

Must be the angle of the shot. It's just a Pedaltrain Jr, So sloping but not raised as such.

Get your props to lift them.

Gym squats really useful in this regard....

Very much within the spirit of the thread, bravo.
