Does someone here have a little (recording/live) pedalboard revolving around the Messenger. I'm looking for some inspiration

It doesn't add any color, just imagine a super transparent onboard preamp, but on the floor. I've always thought of the messenger character being, well, it's features instead of some baked in character. It controls rather than gives, a true tool - NOT to put it down, It's one pedal that I can say I always have running (mainly acting as a headphone amp and H/LPF)

^ this. Messenger works best as a controller/fine tuner for the rest of your chain. Put it last in line for recording, you get all the EQ and filtering you’d find in a DAW except it’s on the floor. It’s not “transparent” in tone, it’s completely utterly colorless, but that’s a good thing when you want to be really specific about frequency points for cutting & boosting

Messenger V1 is pretty much my ultimate recording/live pedal, need another one for backup lol

I’m considering going with an overly simplified “board” for my gig this weekend. Just need to grab a compressor…

Awesome board, love the aesthetics there, everything just fits

thank you!

Underneath is crowded and not quite as pretty but I had a lot to squeeze in there.
There’s some of the temple led lights mounted underneath too for the cool spaceship glow when plugged in.

I managed to clean up the cables a little but there just wasn’t much more I could do and still fit everything.
Fortunately the board is rarely upside down. Unfortunately now everyone here knows my dirty little secret.

Let’s see what this pedals all about now.

You need a pez despenser under there.

There is a V2 on the verb now. N/A

Note to self: do not post underside of pedalboard. Ever.

You can post it. Just be sure to blur out the naughty bits...

Always wanted to goop the entire board

here’s how I’m using my messenger v1.
The pedals are mounted to the lid of a 4 space rack which holds a power amp and power supplies for everything.
The 1/4” output of the messenger feeds the power amp and the xlr output feeds the house.

the lids come off the rack, plug in power from the wall, plug into a cab and get down to business.

I routed my board different and am now noticing a subtle high pitch whine from the ETDI pedal version. Only change made is putting it under the board next to a cioks7. Any brough pros have any ideas what that might be? Possible tube?

 

[never-enough]

The tube might be picking up noise from the cioks power supply

try moving the etdi and see if the noise goes away

Hoping that’s not it, it’s the only place it can go now.

I put the RFE after it and because I LPF at 2k it gets rid of it but I need the RFE before it. Grrrrr
