Post Your Pedalboard - Part I

[Higgie]

Yeah, I got alot of sorting out to do. I'm pretty much happy pedal wise, but its really messy with leads and stuff so I gotta get some cable ties, and I wanna get a Line 6 Echo Park at some point too. I've got alot of room, to spare, but I don't need much else...Just need a bit more effective layout...I'm not happy about the compressor being sideways, but its the only way the leads reach between the chorus, and the 2 Looper.

"Geek":

Settings:
4 Bass Tone:

4 "Guitar" Tone on Bass:

I origanally bought the chorus for the Uni-Boss/HPF mode and it works out incredibly well. I can get the guitar tone I've been looking for, and I get it on my Bass!!! I've also found a good setting on the chorus to add some punch to my normal bass tone.

I've taken out the wah/fuzz cus I never really thought of them a neccessary for any "band-type" tone I might have. I've just combined the two boards I'm gonna use for recording cus the only pedal I don't use for both tones is the MD-2! I'm planning on perfecting the two setups and doing some recordings in the next week or so. Hopefully by that time I'll get the pedal case and it'll be easier to move my FX around!

My God, Darkharted you change your board more than I change my panties!

and thats atleast 3 times a day




Hey DarkHarted, why not just get all the pedals you'd like, and then stick them all on a board so you never have to keep re arranging? Plus theres always more possibilities if you're in a band for when you're creating and such.


Peace

Alright then, so here it is:

Sorry about the bad quality! My cam sucks

Not as huge and fancy as most of you other guys board, but it is damn powerful

Waiting for my pedalboard jr from T-Rex Engineering at the moment..

I know

The thing is that my "band" sound for bass has always been just the PDDI. The wah/fuzz thing, though it sounds cool, just doesn't sound right for a band project.

As I said in my last post, I bought the CEB-3 for the HPF/Uni-Boss type effect to try and get the guitar tone I hear in my head. The funny part is that with the MD+CEB+PDDI I get that tone on my bass. So, I figured that I'd just combine the bass and "guitar" boards and make a "recording" board. That's when I figured that I might as well try the chorus with the PDDI using my bass settings. It provides some serious punch, and I can't wait to record some shiz!

As for the wah/fuzz, one of these days I'll probably make a specific board for it, and end up spending a lot more money in the process :scowl:

First off, here is a pic of the board:

The only one that doesn't look metallish is the baby blue CEB, but damn does it add some punch. I never turn it off! Also, as you can see from the pic, the MD-2 is now cranked to the MAX! The jack in the CEB w/o a cord is for the Uni-Boss mode so that its just the effect (HPF) thats output. I really didn't experiment with different pedal placement, and I know I should probably use the loop of the NS-2, but it works, so I ain't gonna "fix" it

As "promised", here are some recordings. The first is the full track (about 18 bars long) with bass, "guitar", and drums. The drum loop was done using a prog called Hammerhead Rhythm Station, imported into Audacity, and copied/pasted until it was long enough. The second and third are the bass and guitar tracks separate from the whole. The "guitar" is mixed 6 dB lower than the bass/drums but still seems to work out well IMO.

This is why I redid my board and took out everything that I wouldn't use is recording. I figure I might as well keep it as simple as possible!

Enjoy!

Hey, why don't you try these between your Boss pedals!

Hey, why don't you try these between your Boss pedals!

It would take up twice the room of the George L's, + I prefer them staggered. Especially the CEB, so that I can easily remove the dummy plug when I want to play actual bass!

nice board. Whats that Tone Press do? And whats that pedal right in the middle and that blue thing off to the left? And also that bass driver, what is it (i know its an OD of some form, nevr seen it before though.? Ive never seen these pedals before!

Peace

 

[Toasted]

That "blue thing" is a Petersten Strobostomp tuner.

The "thing" in the middil is a yamaha NE-1 EQ

The Tone Press is a compressor.

Those Flip bassdrivers are tube pedals made in japan.

 

[Higgie]

The one in the middle is the Yamaha NE-1 Parametric EQ I think, and the far left is the Peterson Strobe tuner.
