Behold my massive board of pedals

thermionic · November 2013

Switchcraft pancake jacks I'd guess?

preston61 · November 2013

Thanks mate, just got to find somewhere that sells them now :-)

dogload · November 2013

I couldn't help it... I downsized, and then I had to go and get a super-bargain Diago megaboard. I hummed and Ha'd for ages about actually using it, but then I swapped my Boss chorus for a Boss LS2 with @thecolourbox and had to upsize again. Oh dear.

thecolourbox · November 2013

Happy to help, @dogload

@dogload, you've clearly failed in your GAS obligations. I see space for at least 5 more pedals on there.

haha! Yes i know, but I had to consider the fact that I rather enjoy having my arm attached to my shoulder.

Also I may have run out of DC connectors

EricTheWeary · November 2013

@preston61 have you looked at the pancake cables from ( friend of the forum) Kabl? IIRC his are Hicon rather than Switchcraft.
Www.kablonline.com I think.

preston61 · November 2013

Thanks for the link @EricTheWeary I've checked out his sight and he is very reasonable

JCA2550 · November 2013

Here's what I've arrived at today.

http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m467/JCA2550/PTNano111113_zpsf264ccc4.jpg

Mooer Grey Faze ( Dallas Arbiter Germanium Fuzz Face clone) > Polytune Mini > Whirlwind Orange Box Phaser > EP Booster > Hardwire TR7 (used for the rather excellent Tremolos). There's also a TC Flashback and H & K Rotosphere in the FX loop of the amp.

guitarfishbay · November 2013

Hardwire HT2 Tuner (Thru, always on) -> ISP Decimator (always on) -> Visual Sound Route 66 (comp is used as a tone shaper for a brighter/thinner sound when required and OD boost used with gain channels of amp) -> Boss SD1 (alternate crunch on clean channel for one song) -> Dunlop DVP1 Volume pedal (gain changes plus silent tuning option when required) -> Amp -> Boss DD20 in loop.

Mk 3216 pedalboard - note it's mostly drive pedals!!! Fuzz face will be going as the Moog does every colour of fuzz

digitalscream · December 2013

Forgot to post this...

This is the board in its "home recording" configuration. Signal path is:

Weeping Demon -> Polytune -> Ninety Orange -> Boo Boost -> AMT C-2 -> Flashback (-> recording interface)

The C-2 is acting as a straight preamp, no cab sim (I use impulses in Reaper) and the Bright Onion is just the footswitch for the amp.

When using it live, I take the C-2 out of the path; the Boo Boost then goes straight to the amp input and the Flashback sits in the loop. The beauty of it is that since I use a 4-way extension loom (female jacks at the board end, male at the amp end) I just have to disconnect the in/out of the C-2 and plug those patch leads into the loom; job jobbed.

That's cute. What's the purple thing? I'm going to guess a drive of some kind...

Love the relic

I keep on listening to demos of that Moog. Definitely need to think about getting one on my 2014 GAS list.

It's my all in one drive pedal, inspired by the Rockbox boiling point, and made by @handsomerik. ;

The tuner was "reliced" when I got it. Either the last owner gigged it every night for 5 years, or he dragged it from the back of a truck. Either way, it works great and I couldn't ask for more.

Cirrus · December 2013

@Travisthedog Can you tell me about the Ernie Ball Wah?

Here's mine, cropped so not great quality but you can see what everything is. Nothing particularly special but after years of constantly chopping and changing, I've arrived at something that works for me.

handsomerik · December 2013

Here's mine:

zoom multistomp has been replaced with the cdr-70 version for reverbs and delays. Handmade pedals are Klone, plexitone with charge pump to run at 12v from a normal 9v adapter and a boiling point clone.

Here's my practice board: Great as it has a drum machine/metronome and looper built in.

Both pedalboards are handmade too in a pedaltrain style. The top one has a higher second shelf which is a better design for reaching the upper pedals without adjusting knobs accidentally on the bottom row.

spacecadet · December 2013

Just put together a new b board for a dep gig this evening so thought I'd share. Main board currently undergoing another overhaul!

Bucket · December 2013

The big board - now with added Nobels overdrive, which is fantastic:

http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af347/ConnorF1995/My gear/2013-12-27_zps055aeac6.jpg

The new small board, as it stands currently - the Muff is the newest addition, at the time of writing I have owned it for about two hours. Excuse all the wires, I took several pedals off my big board and put them on there for a few days (they're all back now), hence the power supply cables. The board's got a built-in power supply underneath it, it's pretty neat. Way lighter than the big bastard too...

http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af347/ConnorF1995/My gear/20131228_181324_zps7645fea6.jpg

The other planned pedals for the small board:

- Crybaby (possibly 535Q)

- Compressor (Mooer? Something small... Xotic if I'm feeling flush)

- Chorus (I'd like a Providence Anadime but may have to settle for something less ruinously expensive)

- Tremolo (probably just another Joyo, the one on the big board is great. Perhaps in time I'll end up with a Strymon Flint... pipe dream, that)

- Delay (I'll probably take the Carbon Copy from the big board and fill the space it leaves on there with a TC Flashback)

This will ruin me financially, but it will be SO worth it.

Branshen · December 2013

@handsomerik how did you get the zoom to stick? did you take off the rubber feet first or what? I've not gotten round to doing mine yet..

handsomerik · December 2013

When I bought it used it had Velcro on the bottom already and no rubber feet so I guess that's what the previous owner did.

citizen68 · December 2013

Latest incarnation - used this last night with the intention of using the Timmy for rhythm parts, zen for leads & klone for boost but ended up using the klone & tweaking guitar volume most of the night! Magic pedal that I think lives up to the hype in a gig situation..

Updated main board. Not sure the Sunface is working with the current amp rig. http://i1001.photobucket.com/albums/af135/roscoe2911/810CC6E4-AF93-4FF5-978F-7FB9DD55E7D2_zpsghrvrfsr.jpg

Good to see the old Music Radar forum back in a new guise. HNY, and here's my first post as a total FX head!!

Hi Gassage - this maybe my mind playing tricks on me again but I thought it was your board that had a Source Audio Orbital Modulator on it? But not there anymore? I've either got the wrong person/ board or it didn't work out?

Gassage · December 2013

Eric- yeah dead right. I swapped it out for the TC. The Orb Mod is a good allrounder, but the TC is better. As it happens, I am thinking of a Mobius. I miss not having a Vibe, and I'm intent on one PP2 power supply.

A new addition to my rig is the EC Twinolux. OMG! What an amp.

dogload · December 2013

Oh yes! I remember that big old MXR. Mind, it's almost dwarfed by those Cornish things!

That there Badger Schism, which effects are you blending and is it any good? How's the service from Badger? Nice board by the way!

Wow.

What's that mxr rack mount thing?

Gassage · January 2014

PretyDamned and Even;

1. Badger- yeah really top notch unit. Using it to mix the MXR only at the moment. It has an op-amp buffer, ground lifts and stuff like that which sets it apart. Service was fabulous- the guy ran out of knobs when I ordered mine, and bless, he sent me about 25 options from RS and offered discounts (which I refused)!! I was hugely impressed. Took about 10 days to make, 10 to ship. You might look at the Wounded Paw and the Xotic as alternatives. I max out the MXR in terms of mix and level, then control the parallel mix off the Badger. Worth noting that this works best if there's a dry defeat on the delay you're using, so you only mix back the trails.

2. MXR System Delay II- it's one of the greatest delays ever made IMO. It is Gilmour's number one delay since 1980, and it's the CNumb delay unit. Edge also has one and uses it as one of his staple delays. It's very warm (and deadly accurate) for a digi unit, notoriously difficult to find a good one that works (they'll fetch c. £400-500 on the bay and then some 'creep' timewise, some just die.) Mine was serviced by Charlie Chandler and we found some original EPROM chips for it, so it's a nice one. Anorak Corner: the guy that designed the algorythym and chips and who was a shareholder in MXR (Keith Barr) founded the Alesis Corp based soley on the technology he developed for the unit. It's NOT MIDI compatible- just pure ol Line or Instrument Level, a stomp box in a rack unit, basically. If you google the Great Delay Shoot out (Gigrig) you can here my unit and my TES against each other. I would take the MXR everytime. You can also get chorus and flange sounds using the sweep and time functions.

HNY Guys.

Very, very cool. Nice one for keeping it in shape!

Howdy, Stranger!
