Let's see your pedal boards/cases

There's a DC-9 power supply attached to the board by duct tape. Everything else is heavyweight Velcro.

The Arion Tuner is connected to the Bass IQ

The Bass IQ is connected to the 2-Loooper

Loop 1 of the Looper is the Vox auto-wah (which sucks tone hideously) and the Tech21 XXL (which is my really distorted distortion). I use them together to get a really wild sound, so it's great to be able to have them both on and use the Loooper to switch.

Loop 2 of the Loooper is the Big Muff and/or whatever else I decide to use (which'll have to be not on the board, but that's kind of the idea - I wanted a small board to prevent me from getting too bogged down in pedals).

The Arion Chorus hangs off the edge when it's plugged in, but when I'm carrying the board, I disconnect it and stick it sideways in the space that's there for it.

The board is made from a shelf from a piece of furniture a friend was throwing away. I think she thought I was mad when I whipped out a tape measure, measured it and asked if I could have it before throwing the rest of the thing in a skip.

4string, how are you liking that Black Finger? I am thinking of getting one of those.
I like it alot. Never having used a compressor before, though, I don't have anything to compare it to. I did alot of research before deciding on it, read alot of reviews and read about other compressors. The common thing I kept seeing is that since it uses tubes it works more like the higher end compressors. I keep it on all the time and it's an integral part of my sound. :cool:

I just got one a few weeks ago. the only thing i have that i can compare it to is a rack mounted Behringer, thats been moved to my Super Redhead.

I find that the BF has a cleaner and more open sound. it can get very hissy with certain settings, so it takes some experimentation to get it quiet. and when it is quiet it is not compressing at its max...but thats fine for me because then it is not obvious that there is something in the signal chain, i guess the term is transparency.

i only have two complaints...there is no power on/off switch. and the switch its self. when you step on it there is a loud click from the unit. not an electronic click going into the amplifier, just a click from the physical switch its self.

overall, i like it. havent been able to test the road worthy-ness of it yet though, but hope to soon.
 
I will post pics later of my ginormous pedal board that I no longer use, basically because it is to big.

Dimensions- 3'L x 2'W, the height in the front is about 2 1/2", while the height in the back is 3 1/2". Constructed from 3/4 inch MDF, it is about 30 lbs before anything is loaded on it.

Cost me about five bucks and a hour out of my morning as I had most of the materials already.

Next will be much lower to the ground and much smaller.

Sorry it's so big!

I have all the Boss/Ibanez pedals on the top level now, with the Loooper being on the bottom right, as I no longer have the Mesa amp that the footswitch accompanies, and I have an RBI instead of a BDDI!

You're seeing a Gigman Plus, courtesy of NYC Pedalboards. Greatest stuff- ever.

Hi, would you give me a small description of the Ibanez PD7.
I'm looking for a better overdrive, than my ODB-3.
