Cheap Funk Pedal Board

Sign in to disble this ad
I decided to take the plunge and make a cheap dirty funky budget pedalboard for around $200. Got great deals on GC's Used website. The following are on the way:

Boss BF-2B Flanger
Boss OC-2 Octave
Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus
Boss LMB-2 Limiter
Digitech Bass Synth Wah
Morley Dual Bass Wah
MXR Phase 90

Want to say thanks to everyone posting on previous threads about this topic. I went with these choices based off of their recommendations and current budget. Cheers!

Yessur. It was probably a little closer to $250 but who is counting any way? This is just my fun(k) board. The other "rock" rig consists of Opto Stomp, Sonic Stomp, Bass Muff, M13 (with exp pedal and hooked up and the Boss LS-2 for signal blending), G30 Wireless, Dunlop DVP1, Boss Bass EQ, and a Turbo Tuner stompbox. So yes the addiction is feeding itself. Depending on the results I get from the new additions I may axe the M13. We shall see.

Great looking start. As for funk, why not add an EHX Bassballs for good measure ? Inexpensive and unique.

I think this shows that one can put together a budget board if you look for in the right place. Perusing the used section of GC can be very tempting, indeed.

@ Bassmike62 I will see if I can get one.

@ caeman Indeed it does. It ain't FEA quality. But at no more than $50 a pedal and most closer to $30 a piece why not give it a try to see what it sounds like in the mix.

I will post up some pictures and possibly some sound samples once I get it all in.

If you can find an already modded one, all the better. This pedal is at its best IMO when the internal trimpots are made accessible. Becomes a much more tweakable one-trick pony. Looking forward to pics.
