Your Effects Pedalboard * Pics *

[vroomery]

Pretty cool board, vroomery. Is that a earlier non-mosfet toggle switch FD2? I must say I found the mosfet version too bright for my rig. I hear these are a bit smoother.

Yeah thats the non-mosfet fulldrive 2. I now have a self built general guitar gadgets ts clone to cover some of the areas that the fd2 can't. I like the fd2 but when i play some more bluesy stuff it's almost too smooth and doesn't react well the pick striking velocity. In other words, with the ts clone I can pull the drive down to about 9 or 10 oclock and have a nice boosted sound with a soft touch of the pick and then i can really dig into it and get it to break up. The fd2 is so smooth that it breaks up at a really early point and kinda ruins that clean sound when i play softer. It's still plenty good for other things though

I'm constantly moving stuff around and re-arranging, but this it my home made pedal board so far. I bought a Gator Keyboard case to carry it around in.

It's an old piece of counter-top, spray painted black with industrial strength velcro on it. I might go out this week and buy some metal corners, as it's starting to get pretty chewed up from constant transporting.



Thus far:

Guitar >> Korg Pitch Black Tuner >> Digitech EX-7 >> Vox Wah >> Dunlop Univibe >> Boss NF1 Noise Gate >> Digitech Screaming Blue OD/Distortion >>Boss DS1 Distortion >> EH Double Muff >> ZVEX Box of Rock >> Digitech Whammy >> Vox Cooltron Snake Charmer Compressor >> Vox AC30CC amp > effects loop >> Boss RT20 Rotary >> Marshall Supervibe Chorus >> Dunlop High Gain Volume >> TC Electronics Nova Delay >> *not on pedal board yet, but on order* Line 6 Verbzilla > effects loop return

I think I might downsize fairly soon...my back get sore from this thing...

Heh. I was going to ask if it came with reinforcement rods for your spine

The keyboard case I have it in is pretty sweet...has wheels and everything....but this pedal board weighs about as much as my Vox AC30.

For small gigs I just use a POD X3 Live and no amp.... I can sleep without ice packs those nights...

have you had some fun with photoshop, or is there really an oldskool nintendo controller on your pedalboard?

I found that at a gift shop. It's a little metal box for mints. I put velcro on the bottom and keep picks and a nail clipper and small furry woodland creatures in there. When my Line 6 Verbzilla comes and takes that spot, I will sadly remove it probably.

I don't use a board, cuz I just play in my back room. But I seriously lost control of this pedal chain at some point about a year ago. Oh, yeah--there's 16 more unused pedals sitting just off camera to the right.... :



FWIW, here's how it's set up:

From the guitar, I go into that little blue-gray A/B switch at lower right, which splits to either the main pedal chain or into that dark gray Behringer tuner tucked in between pedals on the left.

The main signal chain then runs into a BYOC Triboost and ESV Fuzz (neither of which like to be behind a buffered pedal), and then into the white Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor. The noise reduction loop of the NS-2 has almost all of my "gain boxes", which is that entire front row from the NS-2 down to the orange phaser, and around the corner to the Rabid Rodent (modified Rat clone) and Mega-Muff (modified EH Big Muff). I've also got my wah, an envelope filter (autowah), and that orange phaser pedal in the loop, too, because I like having gain pedals before and after them, for different sounds. The output of the Muff clone runs around the back of the amps and into the "return" jack of the NS-2.

From there, the signal goes through the Radial Tonebone Classic (I wanted one gain box after the NS-2 loop, and that's a very quiet pedal) and on through my modulation/time-shift effects--tremolo, chorus, flanger, analog delay and finally a Digitech DigiVerb reverb pedal. Into the amps from there....

DVM, thats an impressive setup considering you only play in your back room. gotta get up on stage and make some noise!

i suppose most of your setup is made up of your own builds, i wish i had the time/concentration/knowledge to build those BYOC kit things, but they dont seem to be available britside anyhow

[duhvoodooman***]

Yup, mostly. 19 pedals there (not counting the little blue-gray AB switch at the bottom right)--12 are mine and 7 are commercial pedals.

Au contraire, mon ami!

Voodoo, how hard would it be to create a boost pedal out of my metal nintendo mints container? It's the size of an original nintendo controller. Call it a "1up" or something.... Is that attainable?

Prolly not too hard at all. Can you give me the exact measurements of the Nintendo enclosure? Depth tends to be the controlling factor, since you need to be able to get I/O jacks in there.

What kind of boost did you have in mind, Rylan? Rangemaster-style treble boost? LPB clone? Something like Jack Orman's Mini or MOSFET boosters? Maybe a ZVex SHO clone? They're all pretty small circuits and should fit in there fine....

[ibanezjunkie]

i bet a clone of the EHX LPB-1 would fit easily in the nintendo box, the nano-pedal cases (nano muff, LPB, nano metal muff) are tiny anyhow.

[ibanezjunkie]

ive been thinking about adding moreto my pedalboard now ive got the board space, im not too fond of the digital wah, so im gonna get an analogue wah pedal at some point (probably a V847a) and maybe a more br00talz distortion for metal and stuff, line6's distortion models are noisy, the floor podwould simply become my reverb, phase,flange, chorus, delay and echo pedal.

would i be plagued by idiot's remorse if iwas to setup like this?

guitar-> analogue wah pedal -> brootals distortion -> multi FX processor -> boss distortion-> EQ -> amp

?

Updated pic showing the whole family (except the Korg multifx which is at work and the Peavey footswitch for channel selection and verb). The Chorus Ensemble CE-5 is the one you can't read due to reflection.

My old board in a Warwick Rockcase got to small so I had to build a new one:

Its dimensions are 80*40 cm.



Boss TU2
HB01 WahWah
DIY Linear Power Bosster LPB-1
Digitech Bad Monkey
DIY Box of Rock Clone
HB OD-100
Boss DS-1
Marshall Guv'nor Plus
Artec Soloist Distortion
EHX Small Clone
HB DD-2
Boss DD-7 (with DIY TapTempo)

Half of them are screwed down to the board, the other half has got Velcro underneath.
