Your Effects Pedalboard * Pics *

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

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....

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.

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.

I'm strictly a bedroom player these days.

**markb** · October 10th, 2009, 07:08 PM

Kind of settled on this for now. The pedal on the amp is an Ibanez 60s Fuzz I'm thinking of using instead of the "Marshall" channel on the amp. The footswitch is for channel switching.

This is my current 'sized down' setup.

First the wah, then tuner, then a pan pedal for choosing between rather clean and rather driven inputs 2 and 3 on the amp.

On the clean side I have a compressor (ED-1) and on the dirty side I have the Jackhammer OD (JH-1).

I had to put the OD after the pan pedal because I just think that the sound of the OD is only right when it goes directly to the amp...if it sees just another silicon chip the sound is quite different indeed. And now that I have it set up like this I can keep the OD and comp on all the time, all I need is rock the pan pedal to change between sounds. Sweet! I hate doing the pedal dance.

Pretty simple - Boss ME-50 Fx with Boss RC-50 Looper.....

This pic was when I first bought the case a few weeks back, have since re-routed things and made it look a bit neater (sorry for poor pic qual)

I get a kick outta this ol' Boss GT6. Tons of stuff to
roll thru. I did pick up a Barber LTD about 2 weeks
ago. Really cool disto/gain... Have an older Digitech
GSP-21 legend that's alot of fun too..?

That's great! I wonder...maybe it'd be possible to use plastic ties for attaching pedals. That'd be firm if you can find a way to attach them.

How rigid is that frame? Doesn't it buckle when you press the wah on etc? I have this problem that I use a lot of pan pedal and wah and hopping on them sometimes moves/jerks the whole board so that cable contacts break for a while causing breaks in signal...even though it's pretty sturdy wood.

Hi Deeaa, the frame is pretty rigid. i had to adjust the switch of the wah so i dont have to stomp on the thing to turn it on and off. if you check out pics 11-13 i show how i attach the pedals to the frame (the frame, which is shelving from home depot)..if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

Yeah I saw the metal plate system..clever but I dunno how'd I make those or get the wide velcro...would get pretty expensive methinks. How do you get the metal plates with the threaded bolt sticking out the middle? Are they all sized as pedals? Mine are all different size from large round ones to long wah etc.

I've used bicycle chain loops...you know, remove the back plate, put the screws back and a chain loop between so it sticks out and you get these 'ears' to screw the pedals down with. It's sturdy, but hard to change pedals around.
