Post Your Pedalboard - Part I

An update with the pedals on a "board" and power plugged in.

I'm going to make a board around the size of this thing, but I was wondering... Is this thing going to have room for an ODB-3 and a Phase 90? I also want to replace the Dano with a Punch Factory, but I guess I could replace the Bassballs with a nano bassballs or discumBOBulator to make room :)

If you get some angled cables, you can move that Bassballs up and there would be almost enough room for both an ODB-3 and a Phase 90... Those current cables you have really take up a lot of room--George Ls and the like are all good, but you can also get some cheap but good angled ones at places like RadioShack.

Final. <-notice period.

The signal chain for the two board "synth" setup is:

Planet Waves CT-04 Tuner
Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor
- Aphex Punch Factory
- EHX English Muff'n (w/ 12AX7 Tubes)
- Dunlop Dime Crybaby From Hell
- Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive
- A 2nd Aphex Punch Factory
- Dunlop HighGain Volume
Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus
Boss RV-5 Digital Reverb
Boss DD-20 Giga Delay

Anything with a "-" before it is in the NS-2s loop.

As for the PDDI and the Boss TU-2, I'm currently working on a storage solution for both. I use the PDDI as a preamp for dub/reggae, and the TU-2 when I'm restringing my bass/too lazy to pull out the CT-04 :D

Right now I'm useing my stereo as a PA of sorts, and I'm just running the Phones out on the DD-20 into that. Works out well.
 
I had some extra time this weekend so I re-did my pedal board. This whole unit fits in a gig bag for a keyboard.

Parts List
1-Peice of wood
2-Handles from Lowes
1-Electrical box w/cover
1-Extension cable
2-Electrical outlets
3-DC jacks for power
6-Old rubber feet off a Peavey amp
20-Barrier strip jumpers for mounting
1-Can O spray paint

?-Cable ties

I started using this method of mounting years ago and it works great compaired to velcro.

Plus, it can protect against theft, something Velcro does not do. I heard a tone of horror stories from guys that have had pedals stolen off of their pedal boards at a show in between sets.
 
Effects chain in this order:

Boss Blues Driver, Ibanez Tubescreamer, Visual Sound J&H, Zvex Wooly Mammoth, Big Muff, Guyatone Fuzz, Ibanez Soundtank Distortion, MXR micro amp, Boss Mega Distortion, Boss Metal Zone, Boss Heavy Metal, Boss Super Distortion, DOD Grunge, DOD Death Metal Distortion, and Arion Distortion.

My tone is awesome.

Man that's a lot of distortion! Do you use all of them simultaneously?

Surprisingly, they all work very musically together. Link Removed.

You should post a sample of all of those, on. :D

Anyway, used a lunch bag, some cardboard, felt, and staples, to solve the PDDI/TU-2 Storage dillemma:

I just got mine the other day. Its trashed!! Its a MIJ black label one. Still works like the day it was bought new. No low end loss...If anything its the opposite. Goes from a light crackle through to a pretty unbearable noise.
Very versatile :)
i know, mines been through a bit, i know what ya mean about no low end loss, thats what really attracted me to it....how much did you pay for it? i found mine in a pawn broker for $50
 
I just bought an Ibanez tube screamer...I Almost like it better than my Fulltone :eek: Ill have to play them both in a band situation back to back to really know whats going on, but you may see a bass drive on the classifieds soon.

I checked my clean signal and TS signal on a spectrum analyzer and noticed no change in the low end so thats a plus.

Im not seeing too much TS love here on the effects forum
