Post Your Pedal Board XII - Dirty Dozen

Status
Not open for further replies.
Update on my DIY board above:

1 - Went for a kind of alternative finish - used Krylon "Make It Stone" textured spray paint followed by Krylon sealer. Think of it as a bedliner for boards! I did this because I realized when I had the guy build it we didn't leave any room/gaps for carpet or tolex, and I would have had to make some mods. The paint is really tough, and actually covered up some of the imperfections. But it is DIY after all. The inside is just black spray paint. I planned to cover the entire inside with Velcro, but couldn't find any large sheets locally.

2 - Drilled holes to run the power from underneath and generally clean up the board. Velcro'ed the pedals etc. Still have to put some finishing touches on, but she's ready to go.

3 - MOAR PEDALS!

4 - Profit!

I applaud your ingenuity! I'm digging the secret compartment for the power supply (& whatnot!;))
 
Come to Norway, dude, it'll suit you fine!

There is a town, about five or six minutes from my house, that is so obsessed with its Norwegian heritage (never minding the growing Latino population), that there are annual festivities around the 17th of May commemorating it. Copious amounts of lefse, footraces, parades and quasi-rural Wisconsin Norwegian-American revelry - meaning: hayrides, drinking, carnivals, drinking, Lutheran goodliness, and drinking.

It's no wonder I want desperately to move to Chicago.
 
Here's my first iteration after switching from a Pod X3 Live. Still need better cables and more firm organization.

I'll also likely be looking for a more versatile chorus. I'm not getting as stroong of chorus out of the CEB-3 as I'd like. I've got an Ibanez SB7 Synth pedal on it's way to try in place of the BSW.

In eyvindwa's defense, I'm sure that American nostalgia for 19th Century Norway has little to do with 21st century Norway. However, growing up near the very Dutch town of Pella, IA (Tulip Festivals, wooden shoes, Dutch Reformed self righteousness) I agree that these types of festivals can be really obnoxious.

Hol' on, there. I didn't say they were ALL bad. That festival in the adjacent town to mine also uses it as their anniversary festival, and my town certainly has that. I stop by at least once during each year, although the town fair, as a cultural symbol, has nowhere near the meaning it once did. It might make a comeback, though.

What about Solvang in CA? I was there this summer with my parents - I remember thinking, 'what's the point?' I mean, they couldn't even make Denmark's national dish properly. :spit:

Sounds like my kinda party ;)

As boo would say: One less POD-person! :D

Looks like a pretty good board. I'm considering trying out a VTBass, but my Hema just sounds so sweet.... :D
 
Not as exciting as some of the sexy pedal boards on here, but ...
After a couple of years of travelling and gigging venues from coffee bars to festivals at home and abroad with various pedals and processors for heavy rock and soft alternative bands, I finally came up with this list of requirements:

1. Cheap (enough!)
2. Sounds great on a big stage or through a PA (both clean and distorted)
3. Small enough to fit in my bass bag or flightcase
4. Light enough to carry on buses / trains / walking for over 20 minutes etc...

This was the final result ...

That's a great idea. What kind of bag is that?
