Post Your Pedalboard - Part I

Status
Not open for further replies.
I've been collecting effects for some time now -- here's my current setup:


Bass >> Roland GR-20 > [start effects loop] > Digitech Synth Wah >> Boss GEB-7 >> EHX Big Muff Pi >> EHX Pulsar >> Boss DD-6 > [loop return] > Boss RC-20xl >> amp

I can get almost any sound I can think of with this setup, it allows for everything from subtle echoes and modulations to craziness like an orchestra being played over a screaming lead line (simultaneously). I also have a Verax pedal selector which doesn't do much except let me put the DD-6 in tap mode without waiting to turn it off and on.
 
mine goes:

boss tu-2
mxr phase 90
mxr dynacomp
tech 21 3-button bddi
electro-harmonix POG
tech 21 xxl bass edition
electro-harmonix bass micro synth
electro-harmonix bassballs
boss dd6

i'm getting an mxr smart gate to put before the delay... occasionally i use an aphex bass xciter at the end... especially for recording.
i'm all about pedals. i love them and will never stop collecting them. i have a bunch of others i rarely use... but the above setup is my main rig.
 
Due to power/effect size issues I decided to redesign my dist/wah board, and, after hearing the MT-2 samples provided by Magical_Max, I've come up with a plan of sorts to build it withing the same size constraints of my other pedalboard (not even close to scale :scowl: ):

The arrow within the pedals indicate which direction they will face. The NS-2 is the only one that I'm going to end up stoming on, and that'll just be to mute.

Here's a geek to show the FX order:

With this design I'll just have to get 1 more 1-spot extension cable (I already have 1) and I'll be able to power everything from one plug and there'll be no brick to find space for on the board. Unfortunatly I'll have to wait until the middle of next month to start building it :bawl:
