How much money is on your board?

Sign in to disble this ad
Time to take stock of just how nuts we are. My estimates:

Pedaltrain Jr. hardcase - $170
OneSpot with daisy chain - $40
BBE Opto-Stomp - $100
DOD 250 - $40
Drivetrain - $100
Boss CE-5 - $80
TU-2 - $100
SABDDI - $200

grand total - $830. More expensive than my bass was... and I have a relatively small board! This stuff really adds up.

Post yours; remember to include the cost of your board and power supply! Cables were hard to estimate so I left those out, but they definitely bump up the cost.

Yay search!

The Shameless "I have spent $x on my pedalboard" thread.



Mine is something like $1,800 total. Ridiculous.

Freaking TB, if it wasnt for you....there would only be $100 on my board (a tuner)

CNB case from Rondo: $55
Boss GT-6B: $240
Yamaha sustain pedal: $19.99 (but I snagged it for $0 from my sister's keyboard)
DOD FX-25: the cost of solder, 1 hour, and a new battery

It's a comparably cheap board, but it'll keep me busy for awhile.

  • Pedaltrain PT/2-HC (Upgrade from current JR softcase that's going to be ordered in about 10 minutes): $127.50 (pricematch plus Musician's Friend 20% off "make-good" coupon in responce to their werehouse changeover debacle last Summer)
  • Dunlop DC Brick multi-power supply: $89.00 (pricematch)
  • Dunlop GCB-80 High-Gain Volume Pedal: $59.95
  • Electro-Harmonix Micro POG Polyphonic Octave Generator Pedal: $209.25 (pricematched)
  • Aphex Punch Factory Optical Compressor: $89.00 (pricematched)
  • Xotic RC Bass Booster: $80 ("New-Used", eBay)
  • Xotic Bass BB Overdrive/Distortion: $130 ("New-Used", eBay)
  • Tech 21 XXL Bass Edition: $84.14 (blem)
  • DigiTech JamMan: $201.75 (pricematch plus Musician's Friend 20% off "make-good" coupon in responce to their werehouse changeover debacle last Summer)
  • Korg DT-10 digital tuner: $79.00 (pricematch)
  • Various Livewire and Planet Waves cables and 1/4"-1/4" straight and offset connectors: approximately $75

Total: $1,234.59...also, since the controller for all of my preamp-based effects are technically a "board", I'd have to toss it in as well:
  • SWR Mini Mo' Preamp with Overdrive, SubWave, BassSynth, Mo' EQ & Chorus: $996.65
New total: $2,231.24. As you can see by all the "pricematch", "blem", and "eBay" notations I try my damnedest to track down the best price I can find listed on the web and have Musician's Friend (my primary source as I use their credit) match the price. This has saved me significant amounts of money, especially with the Pedaltrain PT/2-HC and DigiTech JamMan (which were also purchased using a 20% coupon MF mailed out as an apology for their awful service while moving last Summer), the Xotic effects (which normally sell for between $180 and $220), and my original full-sized E-H POG which I returned due to size and power issues but which I paid $274 as opposed to the "sale" price of $324. I also highly recommend becoming a member of ASCAP: besides the licensing if your a successful writer, MF.com and Guitar Center give you 5% off purchases. Every little bit helps.

...being much more than I initially expected, I also don't even want think of how much would be added to the end result if I hadn't sold off my Bass Whammy and Deep Impact to fund other pieces of gear.

George L Cable Kit: $50 (e-bay)
Cheapie patch cable kit: $10

Shocking, as it's worth more than my bass (SUB 5 I bought for about $500), but it's not too bad considering I've bought everything used and didn't pay full price. My Q-tron+ is my most expensive pedal at just over $100, new it would have been about twice as much.
