Post Your Pedalboard - XIX - Hey Nineteen

Finally, I've put together my first pedalboard and here she is...

So far I'm pretty happy. If I had the PT-2, I'd add a compressor and a digital delay. I have to highly recommend the X-Blender. It turns some pedals that you thought were marginal into great pedals for bass.

Signal path is tuner -> Submarine -> X-Blender (top row is in the loop) -> VT -> EQ -> out.

(Sorry for the crappy pic, but it's what I had conveniently available.)
 
Here's where my board stands currently. Still have a few pedals off the board, and waiting on a few to come in. The Triboost (Between the PL & VB Jr) isn't connected because I am still deciding if I am going to keep it and where to place it in the chain.

nice dude, but how do you power it?
Mine?
Most of the pedals are powered by a PP2+ under the board. The Eventides are powered by their respective wall warts. I zip-tied them under the board (you can see them through the board on the top left) and connected to a power cable that is plugged into the courtesy outlet on the PP2+ when I take the board out. Eventually I'll get another PP2+ to put on the other side of the board so that everything is running off its own isolated power and run the Eventides off the 5/6 with the switches set away from normal with the red cables. :)

Sadly the PP2+ are not capable of running the Eventides. I recommend getting a ISO 5 since it will be cheaper and can run Eventides.

Actually I've heard from more than a few owners who have used the PP2+ to power their Eventide units. The ISO 5 is cool, but I would need two (one for each Eventide) to get everything sorted out. Unless the price is going to be sub $100 I don't think I'd purchase them. :/
 
It's going to be around 100$ actually. But I've already posted about this. The output from the Voodoo lab is going to give you 12V. I ran the Eventide fine like this but a lot of TBer's told me it is bad for the unit.
 
And I'm done.

For the first time in three months, I don't have a pedal in transit to me. And I don't plan on it. The only thing that I am interested in trying is the Catalinbread SFT, but I have a feeling it might not be any better than my Flipster. And yes, I know, I need new knobs for it.

The tuner is just barely hanging over the edge. At some point I will replace the cables to those with flathead jacks.

Yeah, that's my worry too. Hmmm... If I can find some B-Stock or Scratch-N-Dent ones on the cheap, or new/used ones for cheap on the 'bay I may have to snag two of them.

You don't plan on purchasing anything new? Just give it time. :smug:
 
Just got back from band practice and trying out a new drummer, he's pretty good.
I appreciate all the kind words about the pedalboard.

I acually have a new idea for a pedalboard kit, which I'm going to try and patent. But I'm still in the design stages to try and perfect it,
so it'll probably be a little while.
Anyway thanks for all the comments on the board.:D Sorry if I posted too many pics of it.
 
So if I look at this right, you have your EQ on the end just in front of the limiter? That's interesting, I put my EQ in the first spot on my chain.

How does this work out, and why did you make that chain choice, are you trying to unsquash your sound from a previous pedal?- FeuerFrei

ouch. scooped mids make me cry./ you've much to learn and there's many here who'd be happy to teach you!-TrevorOfDoom

Ok, perhaps I listened a bit too closely when they said there are no rules in pedal placement........

FeuerFrei, The Limiter/Enhancer wound up at the front because I was using it as a buffer for a A/B/Y. When I ditched that setup, I didn't give much thought to rearrangement. Not to mention I'm still not sure how to set that thing.

Trevor, I posted that pic less than an hour before a friend of the Guitard and me showed up to play drums. It was our first official jam. Imagine my surprise when I couldn't hear myself! I brought up the mids on the EQ, and that helped a little bit. More tweaking is indeed ahead.

I have much to learn. At least I'm smart enough to know that TB is the place to learn it, and not on some street corner.....:eek:

For the record, my primary instrument has always been Bass. And I am not as much of a Van Halen fan since Eddie Van Stick-up-my-butt threw Mike out of the band. No offense taken, btw.

Well, I would suggest on the LMB-3 to take the enhance knob all the way to zero, put the limiter at the end of the chain and the EQ to start to give your EQ'd signal a walk through the effects, you may find you like it.
