The signal chain is as follows:

MJM London Fuzz II (yeah boutique Canadian Si Fuzzface clone)> Keeley Compressor>
Teese RMC 2> Paul Cochrane Timmy (I'm borrowing this one, but I've got two on order)>
Barber Burn Unit> Xotic AC Booster> Xotic RC Booster> TC Electronics Stereo Chorus Flange>
Boss DD-3> Line 6 Tonecore Tap Tremolo> Line 6 Tonecore Echo Park>

Hey there. No pics yet but i run four pedals and my footswitch for my amp. My amp has 15 built in effects that are controlled through my footswitch. THen I run my guitar into the dime wah from hell then to ibanez flanger to boss ch1 to boss sd1 then directly into the amp.

Hey... how do you like the OCD?
I've pulled my FD2 off of the pedalboard and replaced it with a Diamond J-Drive. Love it.

OCD is great. Quite a different animal than the FD2: bigger sounding, it's definately scooped, has more gain with an edge to it. IMO, it's really a rhythm pedal, I find it needs to be boosted to cut through when soloing. Thus the big bad Klon. :D

That does it. Between the new amps and pedals, it's time for some wobbly pops and gear testing. :D

I guess I'll have to see if my 18 Watt will turn on since I ACCIDENTALLY spilled a beer on it. :) If not I got some fixing to do.

Maybe next weekend?

current but changes constantly.

[james on bass]

No pic. I'm looking at making one out of some leftover plywood this weekend.

I just use 3 pedals, and with any luck my guitarist is lending me his Boss Delay pedal as he doesn't need it anymore.

Anyone made they're own board?

[exhausted]

i made my own. just some MDF, handles and velcro from home depot. and some rubber feet.

[Yerffej]

this shit is intense. I plug straight into the amp

[ClamBoy]

My next few weekends are toast. Are you up for a weeknight thing? I'll fire you an e-mail when I get home.

[Dirty_Frank]

I don't have any pics of my board, but I CAN tell you about it.

It's essentially a piece of wood that I painted black and added appropriate velcro where needed. I constantly switch the pedals that are on it, but here's what's being used for my current band.

Snarling Dogs Black bawl wah -----> Boss SD-1 ------> Shannon Distortion -----> Boss TU-2 -----> MXR Phase 90 -----> Boss DD-3

I have a Teese RMC Wizard Wah on order that should be built and sent to me within the next month or so. I cannot wait to get this.

I also own several other pedals that don't get used because they no longer suit what I need, or just plain out suck.

MXR Distortion +
Boss CS-3
Boss GE-7

Now, I have plans for the next little while to get some pedals. I plan to get the ever popular (at least here) OCD, either a Keeley or Analogman Compressor, a true bypass modded AD9 and some sort of tremolo. The tremolo may be a T.C electronics one, but I'm not sure if I want to spend 200 bucks on a pedal that will only see limited usage. I may check out some of David Barber's stuff as well.

[CocoTone]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/CocoTone/pedalboard.jpg

[Rumble_b]

No pedal board here. Just a Cry Baby and a Digitech Bad Monkey overdrive. I do have a older DOD multi effect peice of junk that I never use. I got it years ago cause I was young and stupid. I thought it was cool but I was wrong, traded a 80's Boss analog delay for it too. Damn I want that pedal back.

[jlagore]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v195/metal_insomniac/Guitar/IMGP0048.jpg

EB Volume -> Morley BHII Wah -> Keeley BD-2 -> Keeley Compressor -> Boss DS-1. All powered by the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power, I LOVE that machine!

[flashPUNK]

I'm playing this currently...

http://underfire.ca/wp-content/uploads/2006/02/pedalboard.jpg

Morley wah/volume -> Voodoo Labs Tremolo -> Peterson Strobostomp -> Ibanez TS-9 w/Brown Mod -> Line6 DL4

I usually run distortion through the amp since i much prefer it to any stomp box. The TS9 is there mostly for rehearsal.. I've yet to experiment with using the amp's dirty channel and the tube screamer together (i've only had it for a week now).

I'm looking to move to a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power, i'm just not sure if I have enough real-estate on the board for it. Does anyone have measurements of that box?

My Pedal Power 2 (I don't think the AC version is any different size wise?) measures 6"inches long, 3.5" wide, and 2" high.

This pic is when it was still under progress...the Crunchbox is gone, so is the Axess buffer is out as well. In thier place is a Retro-Sonic phaser and 808, an Antelope Morning Dew EQ and a loop master A/B box.

I also use an Eventide Eclipse in the FX loop for delays, reverb etc. :rockon:

Hey ENDITOL you didnt like the crunch box ? i was thinking about getting one seems like it gets pretty rave reviews cheers!

ENDITOL: Is that a GRX4 guitar router/switcher from Axess on there?

[iaresee]

I've started to commit to this layout. I've routed the power under the board. Patch cables will get routed this weekend. There's a spot reserved by the TU-2 for a Semaphore...

Where do you guys get your fancy pedalboards? I've got like, 7 pedals and a footswitch laying on the floor, lol.

[Ti-Ron]

Wow it's amazing how great are your gears. I'm working on my pedal board too but for now it's very little. I sold everything to start a new, and better, one !

iggs : What is the black bar on your board ? Is this a power supplyer for you pedals ?

Chito : How is the GoudieFX Delay ? I know it's the new Russel's baby but never heard about it !

P.S. Do I have to own a blue tuner like you all to be cool ? I seen that everywhere, like on the gear page everyone got it :P

It's a mainstay on my board now. I don't use a lot of delay, just a wee bit to top off some of my soloes. Coming from a DD-3, it sounds a lot warmer. It's also quiet. BTW, mine is serial number 00001. :)

Russell is coming out with a distortion pedal. I was suppose to see him last week to check it out, together with his newly built Deluxe reverb amp but I had to cancel due to work. :mad:

And those blue tuners now come in silver/grey colour so it's not cool anymore. :tongue:

Chito : Russel look to be a really nice guy ! I write him a couple of emails about the 808+ and he's always friendly and he answers every question I ask him ! If you know that good can you help me to make him build a vibe or reverb ! :P I know it's really hard to do but i'm pretty sure he can do it right ! ;)

[ENDITOL]

Hey ENDITOL you didnt like the crunch box ? i was thinking about getting one seems like it gets pretty rave reviews cheers!

I did quite like the CB but I ended up selling it because I wasn't using it much. I wanted a more traditional Marshall type sound, the CB is more hot-rodded and high gain, it is great for that type of sound though. I have a Menatone King of the Britains coming so we'll see how that is.

iaresee: Yes it is! I love the Axess gear and Mario is the best in the biz. It's killer to have my pedals out of the signal path when not in use, and be able to switch different combinations of amp channels / FX with one button.

[iaresee]

I can build you one: Coast Pedal Boards (http://www.coastpedalboards.com/).

What midi switcher are you using with? The Axess FX1? Is there a noticeable delay from when you step on the FX1 patch button to when the loops engage/disengage? I was looking at the Voodoo Labs stuff but Axess seems be actively developing stuff. Voodoo has kind of let the Ground Control line just die and their new Pedal Switcher stuff just seems designed wrong to me. Plus, Axess is Canadian and I'll buy Canadian any day before going to a company south of the border.

I'd love to see how you run your signal chain with the Axess loop unit. The Loop 4 on that box is a mystery to me. I don't see how to work it into the setup to take advantage of it.

Maybe we need a Axess thread? :)

Here's my most recent-very messy at present, but it's always changing
The pic is a little dark-on the far upper left is a Lovepedal Black Beauty Balance-hopefully the rest is visible.
Thanks Enditol the Barber is a great addition-I like it better than the CB and others for instant Marshall in a box tones.
cheers
Chris
p.s. love those Axess products too-must get!

[devil6]

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b5/devil6/Picture148.jpg

Thats what my board looks like, i've since sold the Electro Harmonix POG(great pedal but it's to big, and not using it enough to warrant keeping it), Boss Tremolo and MXR SmartGate. I plan on selling the DD-3 and getting a different delay, the dd-3 is great but i need something with a little more versatility.

I've also got my eye on some(actually alot of) other pedals after i upgrade my amp head.

[nine]

Here's mine. It's fairly simple:

http://www.corbettcyr.com/Personal/Dave/my_pedalboard.jpg

[Ripper]

Does anyone here use more than one pedal board? I've got two set up, one for my main gigging (hard rock old school metal) and one I use for the other group I dabble with that plays some blues and celtic stuff (yeah I know what a combo). That way I don't have to keep adding/removing from one board, or have stuff along I don't need.

[Ti-Ron]

nine: Where is your Mighty Mouse ? We heard alot about it but I didn't see it on your pedalboard ! You're suppose to be proud of your construction! ;)

[iaresee]

controls this...<snip>
Nice! Another Koch owner! Is that a MultiTone or a ClassicTone? I bought a TwinTone about a month and ago and have been extremely happy with it. Very versatile and it records great through my Palmer unit. I've been so happy with it my Mesa single rec will be leaving and a PowerTone will be acquired my not-too-distant future.

[nine]

Unfortunately, It's still not working because I'm waiting on the proper resistors. Hopefully once I get those it'll be ready to rock. If not, it's going in the garbage can because personally, I'm fed up with it. Haha.

[iaresee]

Anyone made they're own board?
I made my own (http://www.coastpedalboards.com/). I own the company though. Does that count?

I'm using the MFC-5 on my board there as the switcher. No delay whatsoever. The signal chain is:

Guitar >
Fuzz >
Wah >
GRX-4 In:
Loop1 - Compressor
Loop2 - Whammy
Loop3 - Overdrive
GRX-4 Out > Phaser >
Volume Pedal
EQ / Buffer
Noise Suppressor

The 4th loop is seperate from the others so you either have to run a patch cord from loop 3 to loop 4 or you can run it with your FX loop etc. It can also be used as a switching function to control an amp channel etc. Killer stuff! I am not using the 4th loop at the moment.

My board is the SKB PS-45 and it comes with a power supply:

http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?f=&id=32&o=&offset=4&c=75&s=75

The blue tuner is the Peterson Strobo Stomp and is pretty much the most accurate pedal tuner, it's a bit tricky to use at first but once you get used to it, it really does make a difference.

[KoskineN]

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t166/Padraig47/Guitar%20Stuff/PB.jpg

[ENDITOL]

Thnx...the cables are all Evidence Audio, they are great, from Lavacable. Pricey but I A/B'd them with Mogami etc. and the difference is very apparent.

The Digitech is really cool, I use if for the Whammy primarily, not quite as nice as the WH-1 still but I prefer it to the reissues by far. The bypass isn't the best so I keep it in a loop. The pedal travel is also pretty small, which I don't mind. The other FX it includes can be fun to mess with as well. :food-smiley-004:

Here's my updated pedalboard. The Line6 DL4 is gone because it took up too much space for how much I used it and has been replaced with an MXR Micro Amp and Octave Fuzz. Oh yeah, and I replaced the McSqueeze with a Homebrew Electronics CPR pedal. I looooooooooove that CPR compressor. Totally transparent.

http://www.corbettcyr.com/Personal/Dave/335/pedalboard_02.jpg

[Eric Pykala]

No pix, but here's my signal flow:
Guitar>true-bypass modded Crybaby>Radial unity-gain buffer/power booster>Diamond optical comp>Xotic BB preamp>Xotic RC Booster>Strobostomp>Ernie Ball volume>frontend of amp. Loop (at the moment) hits an old Boss CE2 chorus>Boss trem>Diamond Memory Lane>power tubes. Board is a Pedaltrain, cables are George Ls, power is Powerall.(Yes David, I will get some Evidences). By adding one short cable the whole thing goes series for acoustic gigs. I have a smaller board I use for jam-****ting that I just pull my Strobostomp, RC and BB, then battery 'em for the evening.
This is the quietest pedalboard I've ever heard, and I've built lots of them for customers. The only upcoming change is subbing the Eventide Mod Factory for the chorus and trem (assuming it sounds as good as Eventide stuff does, and it will be in a loooper; only thing with analog-digital converters...)

One thing I noticed by absence on most of these: I was slow to get a unity-gain buffer, then found the Radial PB-1. Realized I was at times running about forty-odd feet of cable before it hit the amp. Put the buffer in, and the proverbial blanket came off my rig. Besides, it's a good-sounding clean boost, has the Dragster pickup loading correction, and only $159! Get one!-Eric

[ne1roc]

Eric, will you guys be carrying the new Eventide pedals?
If so, when are they available?

Well when I first posted in this thread on 2/18/06 I had just two pedals and no board. That changed not long after and now I have this. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h241/Rumble_b/pedalboard001.jpg

Plus a chorus, trem and Fuzz that aren't on there. Not as nice as some of you guys but a long way from a wah and od a year ago.

Thanks. A lot of people think the 10 band EQ is too much, but I'd be lost without it now.
Is it noisey at all? I borrow my step dad's GE-7 from time to time and it definetly needs to be modded. Considering the KFK model (which is basically the same thing except two guitars/amps can be used with the pedal if I'm not mistaken) but haven't had the chance to try one out.

[Rumble_b]

It's not noisey at all. It just does exactly what it should do and thats it. Just be careful with the gain sliders on it. Move them too high and it turns into a overdrive! The pedal can give a lot of boost to the signal.

[violation]

Sounds like a good buy, thanks!

[Falcatarius]

Holy hell there are some pricey rigs out there. You guys have inadvertantly caused me to ruin this keyboard due to the amount of drool now pooled in it.

I'm curious Jeff Flowerday, what's the make of the pedalboard you have and how much did it set you back? It looks like just the size i'm looking for.

Cheers!

I'm going to try out the new delay pedal from Eventide when it comes out, also, i'm looking to swap out the MXR for something that has true bypass. Any suggestions?

[iaresee]

That'd be something along the lines of a StageMaster board. L&M carries them. They range in price from $120 - $$$ depending on the size you want.

Not sad at all man. That right there is the foundation of many great tracks.

[iggs]

Here I go again ... pedalboard version ? ... ;D

SubDecay Blackstar and Diamond Compressor are off the board. I love the compressor but I wasn't using it much live. I use it all the time when I go straight into my laptop to record so it will be used more that way. SubDecay Blackstar is one of my favorite distortion pedals ever but I ran out of space and it was between that and Cusack Screamer Fuzz (Diamond Fireburst isn't going anywhere any time soon). The Cusack just screams (pun intended) and has a different texture that I like a lot so it stayed.

Got a Lehle 'Little Lehle' switcher as a main pedalboard on/off switch and tuner mute. It's after everything but before the RC (no specific reason other then wiring that was already in place). That way I can mute between songs and not have the annoying TB pops when setting up sounds for the next song.

Also got the Diamond J-Drive Mk3 that is the best overdrive "I" have ever heard (including Eternity which I tried the same day with same guitar, amp, cable, speaker) and for my guitar, amp and music style it works and sounds better then anything else I've tried. Very thick and crunchy but articulated, tight and very responsive to different picking and guitar volume changes. The extra boost is super clean and transparent and stacks very nice with the OD side. I also push the J-Drive with the NüFuzz for some more crunch and sizzle, they seem to work together very well.

[Spikezone]

Got a couple to show, for what they're worth. The perspective on the pics is kind of weird, because I took them from the front and flipped them so you see them from the direction you would use them from, but they look like they're hanging from the ceiling or something. Here's the first:
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/9397/pedals1hd7.jpg
It contains my Daddy-O, DanEcho, Marshall SuperVibe, Hash Browns (a great basic flanger for cheap!), and my Marshall Supa-Fuzz. The footswitch in the foreground is the one that does the channel selecting for my Peavey Heritage VTX. This is the pedalboard I run into the front end of the amp when I use it.
Here is the second:

It has my beloved DG-Stomp and King Vox-Wah and an expression pedal for the DG which I usually just use as a volume pedal. Since the DG-Stomp is a pre-amp, I run this board into the power amp in on the VTX, so the channel switching pedal is not necessary when I use this set-up (which is my usual choice because I like the Dg-Stomp as a preamp better than the VTX preamp).
Both these boxes have wedge shaped tops that come off and I use them as a small amp stand when removed.
And, yep, it's kinda juvenile, but I like to plaster stickers all over the place! LOL!
-Mikey
P.S. I also made a little 10"x18" plywood board with a cut-out handle on one end and some velcro to hold a few of the pedals down to take to jams when I won't have my amp available, or if there's no amp available with a poweramp in. In that case, the pedals just run of 9V's instead of the wall wart

Yes it is sad... I plan on buying a Dunlop 535Q wah and EHX Memory Man when I get the money.

That's funny since I run the identical setup. I guess that means there is one person here that I don't have to explain how it works. :D

Here's a couple pics of my pedal boards. I have one i use when I gig and one for playing around the shop with...

From L-R ... EH Electric Mistress, Dan Echo, Carl Martin TremOvibe, MI Audio Crunchbox, Diamond J Drive TR, Ibanez TS9, Boss OC2 and sometimes a Vox Wah. The EH is missing in some pics.

[adamthemute]

This is all I have left...I had some pedals stolen last week out of my friend's car (didn't lock the door...dumbass). No huge deal, I lost a Boss TU-2 tuner, MXR EQ pedal, Vox Wah and an EB Volume Pedal.

The board is just something I made. I ordered some vintage Boss knobs for the Phaser pedal, mine came with some ugly grey ones.

Mind the toes.

Here's a look inside my pedal case (which is basically an old suitcase that I got for 25 cents at a garage sale:D)

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/Hyeunny/IMG_1768.jpg

As you can see I've got a Dunlop GCB-95 Wah, which I'm planning to get true-bypassed, cause it's one hell of a tone sucker, a Digitech Bad Monkey, a GoudieFX G-Drive, a Solid Gold Sound Labs 88 (ts 808 clone with some mods) and a Danelectro Liquid Metal. The Danelectro I got for free, so I don't use it much, but it's got a pretty neat octave feature that's a lot of fun for just noodling around. The 3 overdrives might seem like overkill to some, but I actually use all of them. Everything's powered by a Visual Sound 1 Spot and the reason why you don't see any modulation/delay pedals is because I get all of that from my buddy's Boss GT-6, but when I get the funds, a chorus, a delay and possibly a trem are all on my list:smile:. Some of you have REALLY nice boards:eek:.

[blackspy]

Where do you guys get those nifty little cases? I've tried the "serious" pedal board junk, custom made and hated it. Those look like perfect solutions, likely pretty cheap too?

[flashPUNK]

You can get old style suitcases at any thrift store, or used clothing store. I recently picked up a wicked "tweed" one that matches my Gretsch guitar case.

[Yerffej]

I bought a chorus pedal! just because it was a sweet deal and I couldn't pass it up (ce-2 for 50 bucks). the more I use it, the more I realize how much I prefer my tone without it. Maybe I will assemble a sweet board someday

[SZ Addicted]

Boss TU-2 (everyone should have one of these)

[Kapo_Polenton]

Do you guys run all these pedals into a clean amp or get your tubes breaking up and then hit it with boosters or distortion/overdrive pedals? I was playing around yesterday and my crunch box for example, likes to be played by itself... overdrives usually work better for me with an amp already breaking up.

[blackspy]

Cool, what about those "flight" (aluminum) one's I see posted here, anyone?

[adamthemute]

Those are most likely professionally made pedal boards.

[bagpipe]

My turn. I run these into a Marshall DSL50. The bottom row go through the effects loop and the top row and the wah go into the front. The boost is a home made thing based on the LPB-1 booster. Its used for a slight volume boost for solos: I try to use my guitar volume control to roll back a bit for rythym and all the way up for solos, but sometimes its not enough. The Bad Monkey is used as a pure boost (gain down, level up) when I want an "over the top" lead tone. The DGTM is used for a slight crunch on the clean channel.

I'm thinking about re-working the layout (put the most commonly used ones on the bottom row) and replacing the cheap little coloured cables.

Now THAT is a deal!. I have a CE-3 and I run it 90% of the time (both dials at 10 O'Clock) because I like the my tone better with it.

I am also awaiting my new Fulltone GT-500...:D

[flashPUNK]

I've been trying to downsize my pedalboard, but at the same time upgrading the equipment. The only thing I want to add at this point is perhaps a vibe pedal.

Signal path comes from either a Tele, Gretsch or Les Paul 1960's Classic through to:
Goudie FX Compressor > Peterson Strobostomp > Tim > Dr Scientist Tremolescence > Line6 DL4 > Fix My Duck as a boost
All into my AC30CC1

I use George L's cables and a Planet Waves cable from the board to the amp.

http://www.diaryofarockstar.com/pedalboard.jpg

[flashPUNK]

Just wanted to add, i'm looking to finalize the board with a Fuzz of some kind... im thinking something like the "BYOC Large Beaver", as well as a Vibe unit of some kind.

[LowWatt]

Heres mine

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x319/lowwatt/DSC00543.jpg

I go straight into the looper (i'm looking for something to put before it with a good buffer) and I usually set my Maz Jr. on the edge of clean with the SHO as the only thing out of the loop to give me some boost.

Loop A is for when I need gain - Buddha Wah --> BYOC Octafuzz (still waiting to be finished by me) --> Durham Crazy Horse --> Crowther Hot Cake.

Loop B is for the rare times I need some swirl, tuning, but it mainly just gets used for rockabilly - Limited Edition BYOC Phaser (axeandyoushallreceive.com kit, assembled by me) --> BYOC Tremolo (still waiting to be finished by me) --> Danelectro BLT slap back delay --> Boss Tuner.

It's all powered by a Godlyke powerall and 2 daisy chains. The piece of foam above goes above the pedals to protect them and keep them from moving in transit, but it's also there to go under my amp in case it starts sounding off when it starts vibrating against the stage.

[riffboy76]

Here's my current board. Never been happier with my sound. All wired with George L and Planet Wave. Despite the long chain of effects its dead quiet, i attribute that to the cables and kickass buffer (Axess BS-2)
I've got 3 seperate signals which all get mixed into one via a Nobels mixer, great little device.

Does anyone here use more than one pedal board? I've got two set up, one for my main gigging (hard rock old school metal) and one I use for the other group I dabble with that plays some blues and celtic stuff (yeah I know what a combo). That way I don't have to keep adding/removing from one board, or have stuff along I don't need.

Hey riffboy how is that buffer working out for you? I've been thinking about getting one for way to long. Where do you use it in your signal path? Or is it the first thing you plug your guitar into? Tell us more about this noble mixer of your as well. Seriously nice board man!

[Paul]

This will be my pedal board:

http://hammondmfg.com/pdf/1456WL1.pdf

I can fit up to 7 DIY kits in this space. I can either commit to the order of effects, or put the jacks on the back panel like a patch bay.

The upside is that it'll be very neat and portable, with only one power supply needed, and possibly no short jumper patch cords, depending on my willingness to commit to an order of effects.

I can get the pcb's from BYOC for under $10.00 per pedal, the box is around $75.00, and I'm guessing another $175.00 for all of the electronics.

I will not have a wah-wah, volume or tuner pedal in the box.

If I ever build a guitar with Warmoth parts, I can gig with that axe, this box and my Trinity 5E3 and have a complete DIY set-up.

[flashPUNK]

Slight update to the board, added a Lovepedal MagicBoy Vibe...
All I need now is a decent fuzz (considering the Karl).

Oh yeah, my new early 70's Champ is in this photo! Ain't she cute?

Whats the signal chain you have there?
I'm just curious where your compressor is in the path.

The compressor is between my tuner and OD/Distortion. I tried it after my ODs as per Keeley's recommendation but I didn't think it sounded a good.

I use it to push my dirt pedals a little and the GE-7 serves as a solo boost.

The chain goes like this:

Tuner -> Comp -> Analogman TS-9 Silver -> OCD -> Keeley Rat -> GT-500 -> Supra-Trem -> GE-7 -> Small Clone -> AD-9.

I've been using a Power-All adapter. It seems to be working fine... for now. :smile:

[zontar]

I don't always use a lot of effects, so I've never made up a pedal board, but maybe one day I will. If I do it would be one where I can easily vary the order of my pedals. Often I just use distortion, or I play clean.

Here then is what my pedal board could contain, were I to make one:
-Boss DF-2 Superfeedbacker & Distortion-The distortion is the same as the DS-1 & the feebacker option is fun, and works for solos, and intros.
-Boss DS-1 Distortion-I sometimes use both of these pedals--I set one on a hard distortion and the other on soft distortion--this way I can switch between the two without having to change dials--tough to do midsong.
-Boss PH-1 Phaser-at one point I used it al lot, then I got sick of it and didn't use it a lot--it's still not one I use a lot, but I plug in in for fun--usually I put it before the distortion--but with 2 pedals I normally put it in between them.
-Boss BF-1 Flanger-I originally bought this as the price was marked down and I could get both phaser shifter & chorus type sounds,, but now that I have chorus on my amp & a phser pedal I rarely use this---it is noisy as well.
-footswitch for my Rockman Stereo echo. This is a mini rack mount--it's fun, but I don't use it a lot--it makes me sound like I'm imitating Brian May or Jimmy Page.
-footswitch for the chorus built into my amp.
-DOD FX-53 Classic Tube. I'm still test driving this one. I'm not sure if it will stay in my "lineup." A co-worker gave this to me.

[Dude5152]

Boss ME-10 for my main setup. Boss HM-2, BF-2, Ibanez Soundtank Phaser and Crybaby Q-Zone for backup. I will post pictures soon.

Here's my new one

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y49/Petefaragher/DSC00104.jpg



























D'HOOOO !!!!

OOPPSS sorry.....that was the donut board I passed on the way to the pedal board on Saturday.
I put this together as an alternative to my 12 ft. long board I normally use.
We are starting to lay down drum and bass beds for our CD and I thought just a small board with the essentials on there would be good for doing these scratch tracks. ( I also have a lot of noise issues with my big one and quite frankly it was easier to put this together than deal with it). This also allowed me to put a few pedals into play that have been collecting dust.
I go into my Boss tuner, then to the Seymour Duncan Twin Tube OD/boost, then to the Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe, to an Ernie Ball volume pedal, into the Boss Space Echo, then finally into the Boss RT-20 Leslie simulator. In this case I go out to my Pod as we are only recording drums at this point and the guitars are only for reference.

Then I pass the donut board again

No, no the sour cream glazed are really good. They may not be the boutique donut of choice right now. But they are a classic and have their place in the pantheon of donut tones.
As for other doughtones the double chocolate is always a useful tool. As is the much maligned French Cruller. But for true end of the world, classic, doughtone you have to get a dozen from Coffee Time and have it choclate cruller heavy.

[rockgarden]

Alright, this seems to me to be a reasonable thread to introduce myself in. I only recently learned about this web site and forum, and decided to check it out. Seems like a pretty friendly bunch so far ...

My current "pedalboard":
http://guitargeek.com/gear/img/roland_fc100.gif

Seriously, though, I went from years of using a collection of pedals (Dunlop wah, Tokai compressor, Tokai overdrive, Ibanez "super metal" distortion, Morley volume, Boss PS-2 "pitch shifter / digital delay", Tokai phaser, Tokai (analog) delay, and Boss CE-2 Chorus), to realizing that I was still searching for a particular sound, and so I put all the pedals away, then finally realized the sound I was looking for wasn't going to happen with my then current amp (it was more than a sound in my head, or a sound I was going to get from my own hands on the guitar), so I found the right amp (an H&K Attax-100, with a Marshall 1960AV 4x12), and played for a few years with just the guitar and the amp.

I finally was pleased with my sound, but was starting to look again for ways to enhance it, so I started plugging in pedals again (various subsets of the above pedals), until I finally got my hands on a Roland GP-8 with the FC-100 off someone on Ebay. The pedals got put away again, and now all I use is the GP-8, with the Attax-100's preamp in the GP-8's "loop", so the signal goes:

Guitar to GP-8 (filter and gain modules) to amp (preamp) to GP-8 (time-based effects) to amp (power amp) to speakers. It's a great setup, and the GP-8 can be programmed to switch channels on the amp for when I want to use the amp's own distortion (usually instead of the GP-8's distortion or overdrive effects).

The "tuner out" on the FC-100 goes to a Korg DT1-pro, and I also use an EV5, usually to adjust something like the delay effect level (so I can go from a dry signal to one with echo, without changing patches on the GP-8).

Photos will happen in time ... I'm still getting settled in here ...

[faracaster]

Hey Pete ,what are you asking for the maple dip,or the powdered ,is it true bypass? or do you loop it lol :banana:

Here's mine and I do believe I'm done. :smile: Still need to pick up some more velcro and clean up the wiring underneath.
Can you maybe do a quick comparison between the GT-500 and the OCD? Different? Similar? No comparison? And do you usually stack three OD and a boost all at once like that?

Hmmm, quite different I would say. Lot more available gain on the GT-500 although there is quite a bit on the OCD's. I use the OCD's for lowish to medium gain and the GT-500 for the more over the top kind of stuff. I don't stack all three but the two OCD's stacked sound very good. I would tend to think of the OCD's as Peter Green and the GT-500 as Gary Moore if that helps :smile: The GT-500 set up as shown just nails Alvin Lee on "Love to Change the World" if you go back that far. The boost alone on the GT-500 is worth the price of the pedal. Every bit as good if not better than the fatboost.

MOST excellent. I have a GT-500 in the mail. I was humming and hahing on a new OD/Boost pedal and took a chance on the GT-500 specifically hoping the clean boost on it would be Keeley Katana-useful. Sounds like you're saying it is. That makes me happy. Happy Friday for Ian.

Just bad camera skills :smile: It's actually a shiny chrome ISP Decimator. One of the places we play is a real bugger for dirty power = noise. The decimator takes care of it quite nicely without losing to much sustain.

Kind of subtle but I like it, seems to open it up a bit, a little punchier, hard to describe. :smile: I like it both ways so it's no big deal. I once saw it explained as the difference between a 50 watt Marshall and a 100 watt. The DC brick has 3 x 18 volt outputs on it so I figured "what the hell".

I'd be investing in something like a DC Brick in order to run it at 18V so I'd be most appreciative of your opinion on the 18V vs 9V running voltages. Maybe we should start a GT-500/Fulltone/18V vs 9V thread?

[Stratin2traynor]

I had a FD2 Custom Shop that I ran at 18 Volts (sounded way better - more presence, I don't know how to describe it). I since sold it (now I wish I had it back - go figure). Now I have an OCD but I've been running it at 9 Volts. I'll be trying it at 18 Volts soon enough.

I agree, a thread would be interesting. I'll start one.

[Dude5152]

Wouldn't running your 9 Volt pedals at 18 Volts shorten their lifespan, they must get hot really fast (don't want your pedal boards exploding now do we)

[davetcan]

According to Mike Fuller his pedals are designed to handle 9, 12, or 18 volts.

Um, a pedalboard is kind of hard for me to do.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/mhammer/Pedalpix/Pedals1.jpg
This is a portion of what I have. There's probably about 50% more than what you see here, including both commercial and DIY pedals, and about 50% more than that presently in semi-complete form. Bit by bit, I have been converting a lot of the DIY pedals to a modular format. I picked up a wad of 4" x 2.5" black anodized faceplates for 25 cents each, and fabricated some frac-rac chassis that can hold a dozen modules each in a more compact (and much cheaper) package than a stompbox. I'll try and post a picture over the next week. I'm pretty pleased with it, actually, because it makes the use of parallel configurations, integration of outboard rackmount stuff, and signal rerouting, fairly easy. Power is supplied via a transformer in each chassis, and it is intended to use CMOS switching modules controlled by remote footswitches. Since some of the modules are allocated to things like switching modules, splitter/blenders and other "utility modules" like adjustable filters and signal inverters, envelope-trigger-gate generators, and such, I expect it will end up with maybe 8-9 actual "effects" in each chassis. When done, it will look basically like a modular analog synth with mini patch-cords running all over.

Hello Mark, nice to see you are contributing here!, im new as of yerterday but ive come across some of your work, just awsome.

[gramatica]

For the time being, this is my board. :rockon:

It is a Guyatone powered suitcase that I bought ~84.

The stompers are all MXR! From left to right, 6-band EQ, micro-flanger #1, micro-flanger #2, phase 90 and distortion +. One of flanger #1's chips is smoked, so the best it can do is a gentle sweep - I just leave it on all the time. :smile:

http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/d46c79b79c.jpg

[Sneaky]

No board yet... I'm still trying to decide which pedals I want and what order to put them in. I'm getting close but this is WAY harder than I ever thought it would be. Every combination works differently. I have been having dreams about frigging pedals lately. :zzz: :eek:

It's a fun kind of "hard" though.

I'm probably going to add another Burkey, a Line 6 DL4, another OD or two (BJF and/or Eternity), maybe a compressor, and I still have a Echo Czar, a Pro Analog Supa Quack wah and an Empress Tremolo en route, then I think I'll be done (famous last words).

I plan to design and build my own board once I get the layout figured out. I hope I never have to lift it. :eek:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v413/peterreid/IMG_20071218_0081.jpg?t=1198031706

[mhammer]

Couple of comments.

1) Consider sticking your 6-band before the Dist+. There's a lot of utility to be had with respect to a) getting more sizzle from the D+, and b) getting more interesting tonal response.

2) You may have seen those offset right-angled solid male-to-male connectors that you can use for connecting adjacent pedals. Unfortunately, while sturdy and compact, they also tend to be a little pricey. I've found that I can make some sturdy, even more compact, and cheap connectors for side-mounted pedal jacks by soldering a right-angled plug to another one directly. Trot over to College and Spadina and pick up some rt-angle plugs from Honson like this one.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/mhammer/plug.png
They will come with a back cover plate. Fortunately, as you can see in the drawing, the back and front plates are held together with two screws, and you can actually screw two front plates together to make your own offset rt-angled male-to-male connector. A small piece of solid wire (e.g., the clipped portion of a resistor) can be used to connect the two hot leads, and simply screwing the two front plates to each other provides all the shielding you need. Works like a charm.

3) In one of the issues of DEVICE, posted at my website (http://hammer.ampage.org), someone published a nifty tip based around MXR pedals. They noted that you could take out the output jack from pedal A, remove the hex nut from the input jack on pedal B, stick the collet of pedal B through the hole created in pedal A, then simply fasten the nut on the inside of pedal A. The wire that formerly went to the output jack now gets soldered directly to the input jack. This would create a kind of "fused" dual pedal, a process that can be reiterated over several MXR pedals (or anything else using a Hammond 1590B equivalent box with holes drilled at the same height). It has some caveats (hard to resequence your pedals), but it's an interesting idea.

[gramatica]

Assuming mhammer's comments were meant for me... :smile:

The Guyatone suitcase has two loops! One is switched - that is the stomper at the far right - and the other is hard wired. You can see three 1/4 inch gazintas at the left side of the board, just above the EQ.

I can't remember how I used the hard wired loop, if at all. You can't turn the EQ off - something of a design flaw IMNSHO!

These old MXRs are in demand with youngstas these days. Could be time to unload! :eek:

[mhammer]

As promised, here is my current modular project. Many of the things you see in an earlier picture are adapted to this new format. There are also a lot of other modules in the development stage.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/mhammer/DSCF0785.jpg
Bypass comes in two forms: the toggle switch on each module, and the "yellow" switch modules that each will contain two nondedicated remotely switchable bypasses. These are "nestable", which means I can insert one effectively "inside" the other, and hit one switch to cancel a whole cluster of modules lined up to that specific switch circuit, or hit another remote footswitch and bypass/enable a subset within that larger group.

Though I haven't built it yet, the plan is to have adjacent momentary and latching footswitches. I had an arrangement like this some 20 years ago for a rackmount unit I made for myself (and since sold), and quite like it. The way the swityching modules work is that if you use a momentary switch, the effect (or group) is only engaged as long as you hold your foot down. The second you lift your foot, it bypasses. Alternatively, you can use a parallel latching footswitch and it will stay on even until you step down again. The momentary thing is really useful for "punch-in" effects. A nice textbook example might be the single-phrase use of a ring modulator for the old ZZ Top nugget "Cheap Sunglasses". The momentary switch makes it possible to achieve studio-like effects like that. Another usage I like is to feed the delay-only output of a delay line to one input of the 2-input mixer you'll see on the upper right of one of the chassis. The splitter output goes to a switch module, and to the input of the delay line (but does not return to the switch). This lets me send a feed to the delay line only when I step on the momentary footswitch, and the delay output always gets blended in. So, I can play a riff and have the recirculating delay/echo continue until it fades out, while I move on to other notes that DON'T get delayed.

It's an immensely powerful system. Best of all, the format is so inexpensive, it costs me maybe $10 a module, including all parts. I love DIY.

[bcmatt]

mhammer, I'm fascinated by all your work. So, do you use all the pedals that you are putting in to your modular format? (or are a number of them "just in case you might want to use some day"?) Do you buy your Hammond enclosures in bulk?
By the way, the link to your website didn't work for me...

[mhammer]

Some are things I like. Some are "experiments". The nice thing is that if it costs me less than lunch+coffeebreak at work, I don't mind crankin' them out, especially if it involves a simple perfboard build. Perfect case in point is the clone of the Maestro FZ-1B and the Seamoon Funk Machine. Neither of these strike me as particularly excellent examples of their respective category of effect, but if it only takes a Saturday afternoon and a couple of bucks to "have" one, why not. And like I say, because including either, or both, of them in a setup...or removing them....is much less difficult than it would be if I had any of the artfully arranged pedalboards some of the folks here have shown, I also don't mind keeping them around. Would I sweat to find a convenient and strategically important spot on a pedalboard for a Dan Armstrong Green Ringer? No frickin' way. It's just not that good of an effect. But if it's painless for me to swap it out with a module and use it this one time, I figure go for it.

The other thing I like is that since there is limited space on each panel/plate for knobs and switches (though I'm exploring options for smaller pots and knobs), it's no big deal to make two different versions of the same effects, and use the one or the other, or both. I've made a couple of modded EHX Bass Balls clones (an excellent pedal for hotrodding) with different sets of options, and some days I like one more than the other.

Incidentally, what I neglected to mention is that the modular format allows me to stick the footswitches where they belong...at my feet...and the controls where they belong...at waist height where I can reach 'em.

The only enclosures I've bought in any sort of "bulk" manner was the plastic Pac-Tec chassis that I got for $2@ from a surplus place in town. They're much sturdier than you'd think, and accommodate lots of controls. They came without end-pieces, so I cut a couple of end-plates to slide in from copper clad PC board. I line them with copper shim and ground the shim and endpiece together, like so.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/mhammer/Pedalpix/Woody2.jpg
They hold up well, and since I mount the audio and power jacks on the rear skirt, it means that I can snuggle them up against each other for a more compact pedal board, should I use a pedalboard. The aluminum Hammond (and other) boxes have been accumulated over 25 years or more, one or two at a time. Once upon a time, they only cost $4. Sigh. Of course, these days you can get them powder coated for a couple of dollars more, thus avoiding the stink issue, and where you used to have to spend $12+ for a stompswitch, you can get those for $4.

Finally, the link to my site isn't working for me either. I gather that the MEF webmaster, Steve Morrison (who graciously set me up with space and an editting interface for adding content to my site), is probably doing some sort of upgrade to his domain. I have no control over when that happens or how it turns out. I just wait, and add content when I can. Sorry for the false alarm.

[PaulS]

Here's my latest setup, it has been working rather well lately. The Tim gives me a nice boost and a slight OD and the Diamond adds a bit more grit and the treble boost as well. The Crunch box I like running with low gain and lots of crunch, does the job well. The white box is an bypass looper which when engaged adds the top row of effects. Top row is a BYOC trem with the speed mod, EH mistress, Dan Echo and a Planet Waves tuner. Vox has been TB and modded to 846 specs. Power supply is under the top row, just plug and play. All fits into a travel case.

-Line 6 DL4 Delay/Looper (Used for Looper)
-J.Everman "The Pot" Volume/Tone control
-Planet Waves Chromatic Tuner
-Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus Power Supply

& to keep everything neat I'm using planet waves cables and connectors.

Seriously nice board. What's the pedal on the far left right after the Professor Tweed? Did you build the Professor Tweed yourself? And the one to the right of it? And what's the Lemon Drop?

[exhausted]

thanks. sorry, should have down a rundown of the chain.

the lemon drop fuzz is a runoffgroove multiface that i built from scratch with a bunch of extra features.
http://runoffgroove.com/multiface.html

the peppermill is another runoffgroove design built from scratch. right now it's just being used as a slight boost to overcome the reality of an 11 pedal chain. but it's a nice transparent overdrive. i built mine with a little extra gain.
http://runoffgroove.com/peppermill.html

the pedal to the right of the tweed is a runoffgroove english channel.
http://runoffgroove.com/englishchannel.html

the tweed and the english were built from kits from olcircuits.com. i've also built a dr. watt and matchbox from their kits.

i'm really big on JFET overdrives right now.

the pedal to the left of the tweed is a BYOC trem with some mods to make it choppier and get some slower speeds.

Hey ne1roc,

You should definitely consider the hartman sfz fuzz pedal when you're ready to make the swap. Its a dual stage fuzz with a silicon side, germanium side, & both can be used together. Its got an external battery kill switch so you get the tonal quality of a battery and you don't have to unplug after playing. True-Bypass, internal trimpots, the best customer service I have ever encountered AND (most importantly) they sound incredible.

I have. The pedal doesnt add anything though, you have to remember. It has the same limitations as the adaptor, it just links directly from the dc jack. it works fine as long as you dont have 3 delays or some other really high current draw pedals

Yup, that's her. Couldn't do without it:banana:

Still waiting for my George L cables, so I can add my green screamer to it, and velcro everything down.

I'm good friends with the guy who designs for Visual Sound, but I have yet to see the new pedals in town (Ottawa). How do you like the new chassis the Jekyll & Hyde comes in? I'm also curious about the footswitches. Are those momentaries? Hard to tell from your photo and the pictures in the ads.

[iaresee]

Are those momentaries?
When I saw their NAMM announcement I thought it looked like they'd moved to momentaries. Check it out:

Those sure do look like momentary type buttons. Definitely an advantage to going momentary is it frees you from the humdrum 3PDT/DPDT footswitch everyone uses.

I read this article (http://geocities.com/thetonegod/switches/switches.html) yesterday thinking I'll have to try a build with his Wicked Switch: Momentary w/Flip-Flop (NAND) design. (That DIYStompboxes forum is mega-addictive BTW)

[mhammer]

I've seen pictures like that, but can't tell it is a normal stompswitch with a different "lid", or a momentary. If I had one to step on, I could certainly tell.

One of the great things about momentaries is that you can easily run wires to a parellal momentary situated on a board away from the actual pedal itself. You can have all your switches lined up in a row, or even cluster them in ways that permit you to step on a group at once.

unfourtunatly...i'm not too sure what a momentary switch is...if someone could explain, i could tell ya:smile:
i'm pretty happy with the v2 though. i like how they've added bass control and noise reduction for the distortion side. it really allows you to dial in some pretty decent tones. i haven't tried out the original j&h, but from what i've been told, it's almost unmanagable with both sides on due to the noise. they seemed to have fixed that up with the noise reduction controls too.

I guess the best way to describe it would be like a Boss-style clickless soft-touch switch, only without the foot-treadle on top.

I have the Original version of all the VS pedals. I honestly have no noise on my J&H but I do get a little with the RT66. I would love to give the new pedals a try!

That seems to be what these are. Really smooth to press, and no click.

Still a work in progress but I'm getting close. I think I am going to make two small boards rather than one big one.

I have dozens of pedals and my board is always changing. As of right now my board has:

1. Maxon Sonic Distortion
2. HBE Powerscreamer
3. Boss Chorus
4. MXR Compressor (which is on the way out)
5. HBE Mimic Mock II Analog Delay
5. Radial Switchbone.
6. EH Holy Grail plus (which runs into the Stiletto effects loop)
7. Korg DT-7 tuner
8. Dunlop Power supply

What is you loop unit here?

What is you loop unit here?

It's a custom made thing... tuner out, two loops and a feedback circuit with a momentary switch.

How do you like your mind bender? I've had my eye on one of those for a bit now.

Dude! What took you so long to find this place?

great pedal, very easy to use with jsut the speed and depth knobs. the chorus on it is great, although i don't use it much. i believe its modeled after the way huge electronics blue hippo. theres so much you can do to the chorus with the 2 controls. from nice subtle to
