Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.

[Mincer]

I could absolutely do any gig I currently have with 3 pedals.

[donaldr]

simple can be great! i bet most of us could do it with three pedals if we tried

In fact it's an entire pedalboard with:

• tuner
• phaser
• noise gate
• compressor
• tube screamer
• eq
• amp sim
• delay
• reverb
• IR loader

Sure could my H9, H90 and the distortion of the day.

My worship board is down to 3 pedals. Overdrive, Delay, Reverb. There's a tuner and the amp sim box on there too but those don't count. I need to post a new pic of it.

My cover band and rock/blues band, maybe a Crybaby and/or Phase 90 now with the amp foot switch.

[jeremy]

threw this together for a few gigs this week with a blues guy. its a board, like all my boards. parametric eq with separate clean boost, od, analog delay, and trem.

[Mincer]

This is what I have in rehearsal. Next to the wah is an expression pedal for the DL4, controlling both the feedback and volume of the delays. The compressor in the bottom row is the Chomp Stomp, a BYOC 5 knob compressor. The Dirty Shirley is my only source of dirt into a clean amp.

[jeremy]

i assume the small square is tap tempo for the dl4?

is the dirty shirley at the end of the chain?

[Securb]

I could rock either board. I was wondering about the Dirty Shirley myself.

The small square actually changes the DL4 from delay mode to loop mode, otherwise you have to bend down and turn a knob to do it. The end of the chain is the Guyatone tuner on the top left. I like it because it is one of the only tuners that can be seen in bright Florida sunlight. The Dirty Shirley is after the wah, compressor, and phaser.

What I like about the DS is that it doesn't have as many mids as most TS-type pedals (and I like mids), but it is very dynamic. You can leave it on and set the gain amount with your volume knob on the guitar.

[jeremy]

gotcha. i guess i was mostly asking if it was pre or post delay due to placement, but where you have it makes sense

[Ascension]

For the first time in many years I playing acoustic without issues after the carpel surgery about 8 weeks ago..Today I went through my unused stuff and built a dedicated acoustic pedal board. Liking what I'm getting with this rig. TC BodyRez, SP Compressor, Neunaber Wet V5 plate verb. Rocktron Deep Blue Chorus and a Boss DD 7 Delay. Powered it with a Gator 5 spot iso brick. Really like what I'm getting from this set up. The Body Rez and Compressor will be always on as will the Wet Verb.

I haven't shared my pedalboard since the pandemic. Back then, I was using a Boss Katana as my main amp at home and had built my own custom two-level pedalboard to house the big GA-FC foot controller for the Katana with a handful of other pedals.

However, times have changed and my current setup couldn't be any more different! Let me introduce you to my awesome home recording rig that sounds absolutely friggin' incredible!



I know...you're probably thinking "Wow, that's a LOT of pedals!" and it certainly is, but it's best to think of the top row and bottom row as two separate "channels".

Here's how it works:

Signal from the guitar goes into a buffered AB/Y splitter with a dedicated output for the tuner. One half of the signal goes to the top row (for Doom/Stoner/Noise Rock) and the other goes to the bottom row (for Pop Punk/Classic Rock/Metal). Both channels are kept active at all times and switching between each row is done via the channel input/switching feature of the "F1" preamp, which is a little known feature about that amazing pedal when another preamp is connected to it!

From the splitter...

TOP: Moth Electric A.Incorrupta (expanded RAT) > Moth Electric P.Isabella (expanded Green Russian Big Muff) > PSHC Rusty Cog Boost (micro sized Zvex SHO clone) > AMT "O2" (Orange Rockerverb) preamp pedal

BOTTOM: EQD Special Cranker > Utility Belt FX "The Mutt" (a 2-in-1 drive pedal with blendable JCM and Dual Rectifier circuits) > PSHC FZ-2 (Boss Hyper Fuzz Clone) > AMT "F1" Fender Deluxe preamp pedal > EHX Canyon (via FX loop)

With this setup, I can dial in virtually ANY amp tone from Marshall drive to Mesa gain to Orange grit to Fender chime and it sounds dynamic and authentic as hell. Plus, it's easy to toggle the Muff and Rat on the top row or swap the Mutt for the FZ-2 when I want that sound.

Cleans are excellent, as well. Pure Fender chime and spank abound with a bit of breakup and punch when I hit the Special Cranker.

The only thing I'll likely change from here is the EHX Canyon, which is the only pedal keeping this from being a true "all-analog" board.

Not Shown: I have a third wooden section of this "board" sitting on top of the oversized 1x12" cab loaded with a Vintage 30 speaker. That third section houses a GPA-100 pedalboard power amp with room to add an Axiom PAE-2 (analog power amp emulator) and SCE-1 (analog speaker cabinet emulator) once my name makes it off the waitlist in the next month or so! I also have one more board "section" that is entirely dedicated to crazy fuzzes for special applications. I'll show that in another post at some point, because it's super cool, but it's not part of my "main" rig.

[Mincer]

I really like the look of the orange board itself!
But the pedals make a rockin' home setup.

Is there anything lacking in the Canyon's sound? I heard good things about its DMM emulation, but I haven't played one. Looks like it can do a whole lot of cool stuff.

Love the 2 channel setup, something like this into the power section of my Pittbull would be super fun to try.

[80's_Thrash_Metal]

I added an old favorite back to the board today.
The EHX Nano Metal (custom paint job) to go with my new solid state amp.
