How Important Is Pedal Color To You?

[PFDarkside]

Ha! Did you get a pic?




I hear you, not very practical. I tried to do vintage only pedals for a while and I had a similar problem because they didn’t have LEDs so I didn’t know what was on or off until I started playing.

I once started a song with a phaser on that shouldn’t have been on and I couldn’t turn it off because I was using the wah. Pretty comical.

Let’s see if this works, it was when Gearjonser had us all post rig pics. They are on an old computer and photo bucket is kind of non-accessible now.

I added a HOF Mini, Wampler Pinnacle, then swapped out the Timmy and Zendrive for a FD2 and the Flanger for a VL Analog Chorus.

Yeah, that one looks challenging. I'm not a big pedal user, but I'd want some different colors on that board. Kind of makes me realize when I do use my pedals I rely on the different colors more than I think.

With 5 (and even 7) it’s not bad at all. Delay is always on the left, reverb was always on, the phaser and flanger are obvious (and rarely used) leaving two gain pedals. It was fun but sound wins out and the next revision (with the FD2, Analog Chorus, etc. stayed for four years I think.

Not usually, but my fave color is orange.

Really cool! Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks it was a lot of fun to create the photos.

Now I know why it’s so hard to find a good transparent overdrive, can’t see the bloody things!

Pedals are like Skittles. Taste the rainbow.

This is the most transparent distortion I've ever seen.

I think pedals should be color coded

shades of green for OD
orange = distortion
Blue for chorus
etc

as long as it has topjacks__PRESENT

I've begun mixing and blending colors on some of my recent builds. These two are BYOC kits and they both seemed like one color was just not enough.

We had a guy in Boston that was a killer player for one of the bigger Boston bands in the 80s. He spray-painted all of his pedals black and changed the knobs because he didn't want anyone coping his sound. He did have a killer tone.

That sounds oddly familiar. Was he from Needham?

Man, I just don't have that kind of time for that kind of paranoia.

Well, in those days...

Chelsea but I doubt he was the only one to do this.
