Show me your compact pedalboard setup

[Corigan]

You’d have to have really long legs! And Lord help you if a cable goes out.

Imagine trying to diagnose a buzz in the signal.

Cheap? It’s all comparable... if you need a custom length or are trying to Tetris your board / solderless packs for 5 cables is about 100 aud and custom length ebs or equivalent is about 8-10 for one... sure it’s cheaper than a darkglass pedal at 350aud but it’s not 2$ or anything when it starts to add up!

I take it the video host did not say anything bad about Putin or the cables that are used by Pussy Riot...otherwise those water bottles might be hanging around a part of his anatomy.

that was too funny!

Ahahahah, my cheekbones already hurt from laughter

But still, I am firmly convinced that sincere creativity is outside of politics!

Decided to try an MS-60b again. I think this is the third time. I look at it as a tuner with some extras lol. Kind of nice to dial in some phaser or slow gear here and there. We will see if it sticks.

By the way, yesterday I learned about such a program (Zoom Effect Manager), I will try it now..

I even found an option to make it so that in MS-60B use 6 effects in a chain (!!!BUT IT IS NECESSARY TO REMEMBER: EVERYTHING IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND FEAR!!!)

Zoom Effect Manager is a program for managing the list of effects in pedals and effect processors for guitars and basses Zoom MS-50g, MS-60B, MS-70CDR, G1on, G1Xon, B1on and B1Xon.

The program changes the original utilities for updating the firmware, only the list of effects changes, the firmware of the pedals remains original. It turns out to flash any effect from the MS-50g, MS-60B, MS-70CDR, G1on, G1Xon, B1on and B1Xon pedals into any of them.

ATTENTION! DO NOT INTERRUPT THE FIRMWARE PROCESS, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS CAN DAMAGE THE PEDAL FIRMWARE!

I really like this one. The Boss Limiter is amazing. I stupidly sold mine, but definitely want another one. Nothing smoothed out and punched up my sound like that pedal.

Thanks! And I put the "Enhance" knob on a footswitch w/ a dedicated LED, so I leave the limiter always on, and hit the "Enhance" switch for slapping etc.

Super cool.

This is my OD board that I take everywhere. One OD or the other is always on in if not both for a cool cascade effect. My big board follows as appropriate and necessary for synth and/or modulation.

what is the blackstone like/how would you describe it?

It is a very sensitive amp like overdrive. Great because it is really versitile, small, and sounds great. I posted something about it a while back. Let me see if I can find it. I get enough questions about it that I really need to do a thread with sound samples/videos.

EDIT: found it!

I love the Blackstone. It is a little bit of a hassle at first, but once dialed in it is super nice. It has a more neutral channel (brown channel) and a higher gain/less bassy channel (red channel). I am using the brown channel as an always on sound. I love it for this. It is a very sensitive OD. It reacts to bass volume big time. I was using the red channel sparingly as a higher gain sound, but it was lacking some. It really shines now though as I opened it up and played around with the socketed capacitors. It has two capacitors, one for presence and one for bass cut on the red channel. I played with the presence cap but found that I like the stock value. I removed the bass cut capacitor for the red channel. This just gave me another brown channel to set with higher gain. Now I love it even more. I have the internal jumper set for buffered input so it plays well with my active basses.

Agreed!

I declare this to be unplayable.
But that probably just shows what a rookie I am.

That massive collection is Mosfed's, not mine. I gleebed the pic from an old Pedal Breeder thread.

Anyway, this is the *ahem* compact pedalboard thread. Compact is subjective though...

I like this idea. I am doing the same thing. small dirt board and small mod board. COmbine when necessary.

Board update. Decided to put the looper on since I’m not gigging for the time being. Was short a cable for the cioks but was able to eventually get it all going using the shure factory power supply and the cioks together, it’ll do until I can get some more cioks cables. Princess Stinker Puddin the cat hanging out as usual. One spot is just for backup purposes and trying extra pedals. I just pulled it out because all my extra patch cables were tangled up in it. Gotta have the “tone brush”

 

[bassbrad]

@Nephilymbass betting Princess Stinker Puddin was a lot of help.

Blue Box Benny sez hi.

Patch-cables are cheap?

That depends on how big your board is and how big your pedals are. Small board with 5 big pedals, or a small board with 120 pedals, or more.

Is the board in the bottom left a photo?

 

[Feral Feline]

Id the board in the bottom left a photo?

As mentioned in another subsequent post to the one you quoted, those boards are not mine. I was simply making a point that patch cables are not cheap — at least not quality ones, and certainly not if you have a lot of pedals and a lot of boards.

It adds up quickly...

Oh I saw, I was just assuming you might have more info on the photo seeing as you originally saw it in situ. You're right about patch cables. I used to balk at the cost of the solderless kits where it's sort of £200 in one go, but then you add it all up and they often come out cheaper. Pleased I only need 2 patch cables!
