PYFPB 1: Post Your First Pedalboard

[Smallequestrian]

I thought it sounded kinda weak and aenemic, tbh...especially when compared to something like the 'Stache or Oxide.

Really? I thought the Swollen Pickle was too far over the top. Always had a huge bottom end (not in a good way) that I couldn't keep in control.

This was when I still had my Ampeg BA210 combo amp, and/but it just didn't quite have the 'oomph' I was after. Admittedly, I was still refining my idea of 'what I was after,' but I do remember that the Pickle wasn't it. If I get the chance, I'd kinda like to try one again and see if that is still true.

This is my first (and current) board. I don't think I'll change it soon. I had more pedals but sold them because I didn't use them.

 

[Vlad5]

My very first pedal board. I actually shared it with my GF (guitar), so her pedals are the three 'upside down' ones on the top left.

Ah, humble beginnings...

This appears to be the oldest one on my photobucket.

First board with an octaver:

This was when things really started going "downhill" for my addiction.

I remember that board...whatever happened to the gift-wrapped pedal? It was passed around a bit, IIRC...

I don't have any pictures, but my first pedal board was simply a Boss Metal Zone, that was my only pedal for years.

Now it looks like this:
Black Finger > MXR 10 band EQ>LS-2 (bypass)>FV-50H
LS-2 (loop A mix at 10 o'clock)>MT-2>FZ7>Woolly Mammoth>Tube Zipper (as fuzz)>LPB 2ube (ganged as od)>Small Stone Nano
LS-2 (loop B clean mix at 12 o'clock )

I might soon be getting an M5

didn't realise you have had the BMC for so long. Good to see it had such staying power.

 

[Dazonbass]

I remember this feeding my M9 and MWBD love. Was such a good combination until I acquired some FUZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Oh yeah, I love that pedal! Most certainly one I'd never sell, even if I moved it from my board, which isn't likely.

And though the Submarine Designer has replaced it as the 'pre-amp' pedal (very last in the main chain), I still use the BMC at the end of my dirt channel for a low-mid boost.

Its indulgent, and kinda awesome...

I can't find any pics of my first board but if memory serves correctly it was something like:

Boss TU 2 > Dunlop 105Q > Boss ODB 3 > Danelectro Coolcat > MXR Microamp

I remember the ODB 3 got replaced with a Roger Mayer Voodoobass after a while. Then after many iterations, this is the earliest pic I can find:

Then...

And then...

Many more, and then I moved to the Mini:

I never saw it resurface after I sold it. I have no idea where it is anymore.

Here is my first try

Back in 2010.

I just finished putting this together--my first pedal board ever. At the tender young age of 39.

Hey, that's a nice first board!
And I wasn't much younger when I finally got around to pedal boarding.

 

[brotondo]

here is a quick snap of my first/and only PB.I'm outgrowing it quickly.I don't have pics of its first edition ,but the bottom row had a Tc Electronics chorus+flanger and a custom AB/loop/eq box that i still have and am redesigning.I've had various pedals over the years, but not enough to need a board to keep em on,(darn gas) I made it my self.
next on the want list is a soundblox envelope pro, then it will be time to make a bigger one!

 

[Bennitto8282]

-Revision 0- The flanger was in the sans amp loop.

-Revision 13- How it is right now. Soon to change, got a couple new pedals coming and building a new board.

Where did you get the board?

 

[HeavyJazz]

Late 2010 is when I was first sucked into the effects vortex...

 

[SG-Jazz]

Cool thread idea! My first board got stolen and was unable to take any pics. It was a Phase 90,Bass Micro Synth, and a sans amp BDDI. I went on a pedal drought for about three years until I gave it a go again and this is what became....

About six years later (currently), and thanks to talk bass, I have this, minus the compulator and adding a b3k.

Its been a fun never ending ride, I kinda want to add a phaser and a TFR now
