An old roommate gave me the TU-2. The T-Rex Bass Juice was the first pedal I ever bought because I didn’t know better. The more you turn up the gain the worse it sounds, and yet somehow it just works in a band setting. The Budda Chakra compressor I’m legitimately excited to have because it’s awesome. The Broughton hi-pass filter because all my cabs are loaded with unobtanium vintage 15” drivers rated at 75 watts apiece. And lastly, the Dr. J Sparrow because my Dicosimo 360+ is too good for this board and frankly, I actually really like how this thing sounds so long as you don’t go crazy with the “Harmonics” knob. All powered by a One Spot daisy chain because these pedals don’t deserve a CS-6. It’s unremarkable. It’s boring. It wouldn’t break my heart if it was stolen, consumed by fire, or smooshed into the pavement by a steamroller. Perfect for multi-band bills where I won’t get to set up at 6, eat dinner at 7, play all night, and then break down to make the haul home after last call. Oh, and the board itself was $26 on Amazon and kinda seems just as good as the Pedaltrain all my good pedals live on.
What’s your crappy, boring, unremarkable board that doesn’t really do any cool tricks?
