Re: Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.
Major pedalboard shakeup. Hope I'm done for a long time.

What cabling are you using? Is it the solder-less type? I’ve never had any luck with that type but I like how low profile the plugs are.

Yeah, I'm using the new Boss solderless cables. I have a mixed review on them. The set screws for them are too long so if you tighten down real good, you burrow right through the cable and have to make it again. The grounding is sometimes finnicky too when making them. As long as you test every cable before you put it in place you should be fine. I'm waiting for some replacement cable from Boss to make a couple of the cables just a bit longer as I ran out of cable and in fixing a couple of the cables, they've gotten a little shorter than I'd like putting just a touch of tension on them. Tonewise and profile wise I'm very happy with them.Originally posted by Jakob DylanIt's a little gross to put yourself in every song.

I recently rebuilt my board as well but went with some Lake Cable and a mix of straight 1/4” and pancake plugs. It’s not nearly as neat looking as your board but I’m 100% confident in the cables I made for it. ( So far!!! Ha!)
I’ve swapped out the Caveman drive for a Duncan 805 since this pic was taken.
I’m actually contemplating swapping in a DigiTech drop. Even though I hate that pedal, it might be necessary for the cover band.

This running into
I have the wireless and nova drive in front of the amp, with the nova system in the loop and the sonic maximizer at the end of the return. I built a cable snake between them and the signal cables are all balanced including the bbe. The carvin has a balanced send and return as well so very low noise. The nova system handles midi for amp channels and the nova drive.
This will soon just be my practice amp once I get the G system set up all programmed.

Re: Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.
It turns out I was wrong about being done with my board, shocking I know.
My bro and I were playing through it a few weeks ago and he commented that he almost couldn't tell that the DD-2 was on. After trying a few other settings I came to agree and removed the DD-2 since it's in better condition than my long-chip DD-3. I've also been wanting some additional modulation options for my 'dirty' loop, so this new vacancy was perfect for an MXR Micro Flanger. I have the DD-3 set for a sort of EVH Echoplex sound, and it's just lo-fi enough to pull it off.
Pedal board V3:
The board is a Holeyboard Evolution Wide; power courtesy of a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power Mondo.
Signal flow is set up to mimic a two-amp rig I had briefly in the mid 2000s.
Guitar -> vibe -> wah -> switcher (clean / dirty / tuner loops)
Clean: MIJ CS-3 -> GT-500 -> CE-2 -> FRV-1 -> TR-2
Dirty: Tumnus -> UFO (fuzz / octave) -> Micro Flanger -> MIJ DD-3 (~400ms)
Tuner: Korg Pitchblack

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

Re: Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.
Running both amps clean at the moment. Signal goes from guitar to Radial ABY, A to group one of the switcher (SP Comp, Klone, Euphoria); B to group two (Bluesbreaker clone, Lovepedal Jubilee, Hermida EPH-3 echoplex simulator). The TC Electronics Dreamscape is wired in stereo with on set of input/output going to A, the second to B. From Group 1 the signal goes to a Marshall DSL40C and Group 2 goes to my Wangs OD-30.
