Thanks tone,

This thread is excellent I am going to start building a board soon and this will help a great deal. What a great website this is.

Thanks all.

Glad you dig it .. I love seeing what everyone is using and how they set it up too !!! :bravo:

I posted my old board last year but it's changed a lot since then. It's going to change more soon.

It's missing a couple of pedals that I took into the studio to record with and didn't put back. I also haven't mounted my DVM comp yet but I am loving it. The board is a Pedaltrain Pro and I have a BBE Supa-Charger mounted underneath. All of the wiring is Planet Waves pedal kit. I am also running through a Pedalsnake. This allows me to run my filters and overdrives into the front of the amp and place my time based effects in the loop. I can also send power through the snake.

Here are some of the pedals I might be switching out. The DVM Tight Squeeze is going on and I would like to somehow work the Moogerfooger Low Pass filter in there. I will probably lose the Line 6 filter pedal (purple) and the Whammy which I don't really use anymore.

File this one under "Nothing Exceeds Like Excess."

I dismantled my rack system, combined that stuff with a few other things I had accumulated, then topped it all off with a new pedal or two and this is what I ended up with:

I have a smaller board that usually goes out (the "Totally Board"), but this one (the "Insanely Board") saw use in a theater show where we did everything from show tunes to "I Think I Love You" to "Beat It." I actually swapped out the trem for a fuzz (for the Beat It solo) and replaced the Deja Vibe with another boost and yet another delay, both used for specific sounds on one song each...so this thing actually had MORE pedals on it, but I was only running in mono, not stereo like it is here.

Someone looked over my amp and asked if I was building a bomb...

How do you like that Fulltone Wah Fab?

How do you like that Fulltone Wah Fab?

It seems to work great, but I don't really use a wah that much. That's why I put it on the big board that I'll only use on special occasions.

I have a an old Thomas Organ Vox Cry Baby that I got when I was in junior high school (back when dinosaurs ruled the earth) and overall the Fulltone seems cleaner and smoother. The Fulltone also has a DC adapter jack, so I don't have to worry about batteries.

The biggest plus, though, is the Fulltone's true bypass circuit. I could really hear a treble loss when I plugged in the Vox. Joe Bonamassa says he's accustomed to that treble loss from his Vox wah and just compensates with a little more treble on the amp. Good for him, but since I don't use it that much, I really didn't want to degrade my signal chain right up front. The Fulltone was worth the investment for the bypass alone.

Update to my pedalboard

So, I did an update to my board:

I changed the delay an d the chorus. Now there's a Boss DD-7 Delay with extra tap-tempo trigger and a EHX Small Clone instead of the Marshall chorus.


There will be two other effects added. I'm building a LPB-1 an a Box of Rock from some "Do-it-yourself-kits".

 

[Kazz]

Man...I don't even care what that purple Line 6 product is supposed to do...I gotta get one....Purple is my favorite color.....Gotta Have It.....GAAASSS

As it currently sits...

 

[Lev]

Everything is pretty cheap and cheerful but it all works and sounds pretty good.

 

[M29]

My most recent board. I really got into the recent Danelectro's and am very happy with them. I had an MI Audio Blues Pro and Tube Zone and an OCD but I am pretty content with these two for now. I have a Bad Monkey around here too. All this fits into a sweet case that I got from fellow fretter Tone, Thanks Tone.

This is a update from my board - once again the ultimate solution:whatever:

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Hmm dont actually have a board as yet, work in progress. I do have the pedals to go on it (GAS for a pedal tuner) though....

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Lev, do you like your Line 6 Echo Park? It seems to be in the running for a good, economical delay with Tap Tempo.

 

[vroomery]

I built the pedalboard with my dad 2 christmases ago. We modeled it after nyc pedalboards for those who were wondering. It's been very sturdy and reliable so far.

Right now its set up running first through an A/B switcher to use the two channels on my hot rod deluxe. A goes straight to the amp to preserve that glorious clean that I love. B goes through the effects loop which is as of now...

MXR Dyna Comp -> Full-Drive 2 -> Dunlop Volume -> GGG Tremelo -> DL4

All powered by Voodoo Pedal Power 2.

I have the kit for a GGG tube screamer that I just haven't build yet, but should be doing in the next week or so. I'm also thinking pretty strongly about removing the comp. I just don't think I use it enough to warrant a spot on the board. Plus the fact that it's really really noisy.

 

[markb]

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.

Lev, do you like your Line 6 Echo Park? It seems to be in the running for a good, economical delay with Tap Tempo.

I like it a lot SVL, but there's pro's and con's to it. For me I needed a compact pedal with a tap tempo that would give me U2 type delays coz we cover a lot of their stuff in the band. With the dotted 8 setting and modulation this pedal is basically the Edge in a box! There's so much more to this pedal like the ambient swell sounds, it can realy get the creative juices flowing. I read some reviews that complained about the tap tempo, but for me it works great. Tap lightly for tempo and hard to engage the effect. The pedal mechanism is quite responsive and you can feel a click under your foot when you engage. I've never inadvertently engaged the pedal when tapping the tempo.

A couple of negatives, there a slight but noticeable increase in volume when you engage the pedal. As I'm using mostly in a band situation it's not an issue but at home/studio this might get annoying.

The second negative is that it adds some noise to you signal when it's engaged. I'm actually not sure if it really adds noise or whether the slight volume boost just makes any existing noise in your chain more audable.

Again for the record these negatives are slight but noticeable, they don't bother me but others have given up on this pedal because of them. You're not going to get rack quality delays in a small $100 pedal without some compimises, and I do belive that some of the models are that good!

A crappy cellphone pic, but the best I can do for now...

Includes GNX3000 Guitar Workstation, Audio-technica wireless, Behringer A/B to switch between wireless (electrics) and cable (acoustic), Marshall compressor, 7-band EQ. A couple of quick connections and I'm ready to rock! :rockon:

I have to get some better patch cables and work on cleaning up the power supply wiring, but works for me for now.

Just got this setup a few days ago.

Road Runner Pedalboard
Boss ML-2 Metal Core
Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker
Visual Sound 1 SPOT Combo Pack
Monster Rock Cables



I'll be adding more goodies in the near future.

 

[Rubenegg]

So here's mine. I really like to combine delays and distortions.

 

[FrankenFretter]

No actual board (yet), but here are the effects...

Having put the EQ in the effects loop seems to have been a mistake. I honestly think it sounded more present when it was the last effect in the input chain.

I'm very happy with all of the products that make up this board. I especially like the CFH wah and the Electric Mistress. They're both super well made and wicked fun to play with.

Here are a few pix of my pedal boards from the late 80s/early 90s:

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

i have that power supply.

got it for a tenner :rotflmao:

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

 

[deeaa]

Ah, I just posted this a while back...din't see there was a thread..

 

[rylanmartin]

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...
