That is SWEET! The only question/criticism I have is why the long loop of slack cable over the Furman?


:) good eye!
this is a work in progress..
that is the cable that goes to the "amp out".....and since he doesn't have all his pedals that are going on that board yet....I made that cable long enough to accommodate the last effect that will go on the board...which will go to the amp out. When we have all the boxes that will occupy the board, I will make the final cut of that cable. So..to answer the question...it is temporary :)
 
After perving at this thread for far too long i've finally decided to post. The Boss Synth will be sold and added will be a whammy and a Sansamp BDDI or an MXR M-80 within the next two/three weeks.

I'd love to have a fixed board like the one AlembicPlayer (btw thats one sweet looking board) is building but the order of the pedals changes each time I set them up, one day I will learn to leave things alone.
 
AlembicPlayer - that is a superb pedal board you're building.

What make are those right angle jack plugs you're using to connect to the pedals - they look very neat and small (which is ideal for pedalboards) ??

Those are George L's cables. Make them to your own lengths, solderless connectors which are quite small. They sell pedalboard kits.

thanks for the props everyone..:)

PaulF - the hook-up cable between the pedals is GeorgeL .155 vintage red with GeorgeL right angle solderless connectors with the added color boot. For fixed locations like on this pedal board, they are excellent...however, I don't care for them in situations where plugging and unplugging is required..

for leads that require right angle plugs..I use Switchcraft plugs soldered to GeorgeL cable. Here's a custom stereo cable I made for my Series bass with a stereo Neutrik end splitting to two mono right angle plugs using GeorgeL .155 vintage red cable.

Thanks for the tips on George L plugs etc. They look too good to be true !!
I've found a UK supplier (and they're cheaper than Neutirk Right Angle plugs - which are much bigger) so I may give them a go.
Do you use the .115 cable becuase it's thinner and more flexible ? - Again is this suited more to fixed pedal board installation rather than cables that will be constantly plugged / unplugged ?

Cheers,

PaulF

N*Joy, what power supply are you using?

It's an MTR keyboard supply - regulated and up to 2 amps! In hindsight though a godlyke supply would have been fine if not a little more trouble to put all the connectors together.

DC-8DPR. It was very pricey (£96 = $170) but I've seen enough ancient MTR DI boxes and headphone amps to know that it'll probably last a lifetime.
