You have one? If so, thoughts??

I quickly edited my statement -- but I guess not quickly enough so as to avoid your quotage. Quick on the draw you are. Man, I'm just having a tough day today.

My friend has a Farndurk on the way, asked for me, and he told him that they work on a four string but they have not been tested on a five-string.

Ooooh. Have you looked at any of his other stuff? Reasonably priced and it sounds like he's more into collaborative builds, which sounds really nice.

+1, and it'd be incredibly difficult to transport if it's designed to hold more than one row of pedals.

Many boards are designed to rest at an angle (Pedaltrain, Pedalpad, etc.), but there are also some which opt for a two-tier design instead (i.e., NYC Pedalboards).

A two-tier design doesn't change the fact that your board will be very tall, but it's easier and more effective to use and build than a board with a really steep angle.

If you opt for an angled design, you need to consider what pedals you plan to place on the back row. Angle isn't the only factor that's important - board dimensions are important as well. A board at a steep angle is only practical if the back row isn't right against the front row. If it is, then the angle is pointless as you'll still be stepping all over your front row pedals to turn the back row pedals on. A mild to moderate angle, coupled with a board that's large enough to set the back row a decent distance from the front row, is the ideal design (IMO).

exactly why it took a while for me to design my alluminium board, theres so much to consider, but im pretty happy with it, the only thing id possibly change would be the pedal space, instead of having a solid carpet area, id use pedal train style slots, that way i could monitor the power below (which is i went angled, to hide power supplies saving pedal space) in case something goes wrong, and also route patch cables underneat as well as daisy chains etc.

expression pedals is another consideration, you just setup a plank of wood, and keep adding the hight and placing a wah on it
until you are confortable

:slams head: What was I thinking?

I should have demoed the Blogger through a rig that doesn't color as much as a Mesa does. I think i was hearing more of the amp than the pedal, and now that I'm home and played with it through my GK/SWR I'm having hardcore buyer's remorse.

SHOULD HAVE WAITED AND GOTTEN A MAIL ORDER MUFF FROM RYAN INSTEAD :scowl:

The store has a no returns policy, so let's see what I can do in the meantime.

Thanks for the comments on angles. I have break on march 8th, so i'm gonna try and build one in my dads shop. I want to make it based on triangular wedges, of a much smaller angle thanks to you guys. I want to have it sit on on platform with latches, which can be attached to a lid with a handle. Will let you know how it turns out.

As for pedals, is it bad to like a certain brand? I'm in love with boss, they have so many features for very reasonable prices, and are built like tanks. The only thing i go to EHX for are for my envelope filter, and in the future fuzz and synth. Any input?

Just as it says.....

actually, it puts me in mind of Rule #37 from Schlock Mercenary....

"There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'time to reload."

And thank you:) It was a bit of a process getting it all sorted out, and some of the wiring is still not quite the way I'd like it, but it works. Weighs a frelling ton, but it's gig-worthy.

I've come a long way from three EHX pedals zip-tied to the grating off of an old gas grill.....

So what's the signal chain and how are you powering everything?

I count three one-spots.

Three one-spots and the wall-wart for the MXR flanger, which is 18volt. Two One-Spots power everything else but the Bass Micro Synth, which is on its own One-Spot (which is much smaller and happier than the wall wart it came with). These are all plugged into a Furman SS-6B power strip.

Everything but the Sansamp is in a loop and can be bypassed

The signal chain goes like this... *clears throat* cable into very small loop pedal in lower right corner, then to DOD 250-->Jacques Fat Burner (compressor) --> Boss OC-2 --> Boss DD-3 --> MXR Blue Box --> Little Big Muff --> patchbay box that rrajatski built for me --> Boss tremolo --> XO Bass Micro Synth --> Maxon AF-9 --> Prunes & Custard --> Guyatone TZ-2 (very obnoxious Superfuzz-style fuzz pedal, I love it-- instant Melvins) --> Marshall Guv'nor II --> Bottom Feeder --> Carbon Copy --> MXR Phase 90 --> Nano Bassballs --> MXR Flanger --> Jacques Fat Burner --> tuner --> back into loop and out to Sansamp, and then out to amp and DI.... *gasp gasp wheeze faceplant*

I managed to cram all this stuff into a PT-Pro.

Wah pedal and other stuff that I don't use regularly but still want to use once in a while get plugged into the patchbay box.
