My first pedalboard thread

[LSMFT6]

It finally feels complete so i thought i'd share:

 

[Fair Warning]

Oh....God!

 

[Gadgetjunky]

wow, you started out pretty well there

 

[Tractorr]

Sure got a lot things on there.

I can't keep track of all that stuff but it is pretty awesome when someone can.

 

[LSMFT6]

It should be noted that this is NOT my first pedalboard, i've been playing for over 12 years.

There are no rules in art.

 

[Gadgetjunky]

obviously. nobody starts like this, so what's up with thread title, tricky play on words.

 

[scottfeldstein]

Is that a Source Audio reverb unit up top?

 

[M Sterling]

Very nice!

 

[EighthNotes]

It's his first thread about a pedalboard..I think lol

 

[Waterpilot]

Nice!

right. I got it, but it is a bit misleading. One look at it with power distributors and custom loopers, this puppy looks like years of evolution. I suspect he's got it to a point where it won't change, for a couple months or so anyway. I went a whole 6 months once without changing mine. That was a personal record.

I thought the same thing at first about the title.

Not to derail further, but I am building a board myself currently and I'll be using a looper but does a board this big suck out a ton of the clean tone?? When I use even one pedal on its own on bypass, I feel like I lose so much of my tone's character. How do you you fare with such a long signal path?

I bet that's why he loops, plus being able to have multpile pedals come on instantly (no riverdance). But I think it all depends of the pedals used and buffers. I use MXR and Source Audio pedals and they have awesome bypasses

oh yea, OP, to make this a complete pedalboard thread, we need schematics/signal chain diagram-etc please

 

[LSMFT6]

I get virtually no signal degradation. My clean signal only goes through seven pedals and they're all either TB or have a high-quality buffer. Plus, having the Daring Audio at the end (always on), while i primarily use it as a limiter because it does so better than any other pedal i've tried, i have the ability to add a little volume that's after everything else if i feel like boosting my signal.

Chain is:

Hardwire HT-6 tuner > Keeley TB loop (EH Ring Thing) > Pitchfactor > T. Jauernig Parallel Dementia (VT Bass > Boss PQ-3B) > Source Audio BEF Pro > Road Rage TB loops (EBS TremoLo, Source Audio Dimension Reverb) > Daring Audio Phat Beam
