First, I have decided to go with a Pedal train board. Id prefer some of the other brands as I like a flat deck and enclosed case, vs the open rack style of the PT. But Im going to have to finance and I cant finance one of the other brands.
First the question.. Im running 7 pedals, may go 8 tops. most are normal size except the mxr 10 band eq and one is a wah. Approx what size board do you suppose Ill need? I was gonna go with something similar to the one I built, but it is pretty square, 18x19, so it really doesnt match the sizing of the pedal trains as they are more rectangular. So, which size would fit about 8 pedals?
Next, here is what Im running. Please tell me if I have most of my tonal bases covered if I were to start gigging. And if I have something that would be useless.
1) Im getting a Jerry Cantrell wah. (replacing my vox)
2) Im getting a MXR Carbon copy. (replacing my Boss DD7) Delay
3) Holy grail Nano. reverb
4) Boss NS2. noise reduction
5) MXR Ten band EQ. shape (really helps with the Splawn)
6) Green Rhino. (boost)
7)Boss CE5 . chorus
Thats what Im thinking for a standard set up. Anything I might should add that I may need regularly? Or anything that I have listed that may be pretty useless? I have a bunch of other pedals I can rotate in if the situation calls for it. Such as a Phase 90, MXR Flanger, etc..
Most likely, once I get my main board dialed in, I may use my current board for a "flavor board" and mount flavor effects on it , such as the Phase, flange, etc.
Thanks for your input!
