My Pedalboard

So I'm just very pleased with how my current pedalboard is setup. I've been through a ton of changes and am satisfied with most of it, but of course I have plans to add to it

So I have (in signal chain order):
Boss TU-2
Boss CE-5
Dunlop 105q
Proco Rat
Electronix SUBmarine
Tech 21 Sansamp PBDDI

all on a handy little Pedaltrain JR. I have the soft case, though might order the hard case. Oh yeah, can't forget the awesome pick-holder that I put some velcro on the back of.

I had a Boss EQ-20 on there until I got the submarine. Now it's in it's box awaiting another rig/sound situation where I'll need/want it.

I just got the submarine last week, and the Rat tonight. I traded a Metal Muff towards the Rat, and an Ibanez Weeping Demon wah towards the Submarine.

What I want to do from here:
- I may trade the sansamp PBBDI for the smaller non-programmable version - I've found I don't really use the extra channels but I could possibly use the extra real estate on my board. Anybody game?

- Get rid of the chorus and add a Maxon Af-9 envelope filter

- Add a compressor, probably a Compulator or Multicomp

- If I like the AF-9 a lot I would probably take the Dunlop off the board and put something else there (volume pedal? maybe squeeze an EHX Electric Mistress on there - if I downsized the sansamp) I dunno, we'll see.

And aside from those first three things, I think I'm covered. Eventually get another JR with a BMS, volume pedal, and a EHX Electric Mistress, maybe a fuzz, a micro POG, a delay etc. i.e. non-essential (IMO) but very cool stuff thats worth having on a second "jam board" while I take this to all of my practices and gigs.

So yeah, no clips with the whole package, but maybe I'll get some up.
I really love how the Sub adds so much low end that the Rat looses - no complaints here. It's a slightly different tone than the clean signal (no sub or rat) but I'm still tweaking it.



I love it!



I spent a while on that - can you tell? lol

/end happy rant, begin random comments, suggestions, shouts of stupidity for using bandwidth, etc

 

Awesome! Sounds like fun messing with those OD/Distortions.

Yeah, I'd pick up a sub if possible - it doesnt make you go "wow" IME but its definitely a "whoa - that sounds alot better than it did!" kind of thing. Especially after distortion. It's a common complaint that the Rat(s) lose bottom. I agree, but the sub takes care of it.

 

It's brighter than standard boss LED's, not as bright as my DC brick.
I used to have that Boss 10-band EQ but I favor this over that - less size, simpler controls, cool factor


wow, so I guess I'm special that I got a yellow/lime green one! I like it lol. I don't know if I would've chosen any other color...

And yeah, a decent compressor is my next purchase. Especially after recording a demo EP for my band and not having one - I realize how important a compressor is.

 

yeah, i like it

if I could only pay for it....
lol

 

The JR is great - I have everything I need in a small easy to carry package.

I like the dunlop, better than the Ibanez weeping demon (although that is a great wah too, just not my style). I want to try a few more - I had a morley a while back but I cant remember why i got rid of it lol.

The CE-5 is plenty of chorus for me, but I dont go crazy with chorus, I just use it to fill out the sound when I play in the higher registers. I've never had a chance to play the CEB-3, although I hear it is great.
