Re: Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now.
No pedal board is ever done, so here we are once again.
Lead 12 pedalboard v2:
The updates to my Lead 12 board ended up driving this whole re-working. First of all I wanted both a Flanger and Chorus, but didn't have room for both. I also wanted to experiment with different delay types beyond the lo-fi digital delay offered by my DD-2. I'm not a TC Electronic fanboi by any means, but a TC Flashback & Dreamscape ended up working pretty well.
The board is a Holeyboard Amptop; power courtesy of a Visual Sound One Spot.
Signal chain is: Pitchblack -> Pickup Booster -> Phase 90 -> OD-9 -> Dreamscape -> Flashback (Dynamic ~300ms)
Pedalboard v6:
While testing out the TC Flashback on my Lead 12 board, I found that I REALLY like the dynamic delay setting. It's still punchy like the DD-2/DD-3, but it doesn't get in the way of my playing by muddying things up or getting too bright and spike-y. I went with a Flashback 2 here for the additional Tone Print slots in case I need a few 'presets' for things.
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 -> EB Volume -> Wah -> EVH Phase 90 -> Loop-Master Clean/Dirty/Channel Switcher™ w/Combinable Loops & Tuner Out
Dirty: Tumnus -> UFO (fuzz / octave) -> Micro Flanger -> Flashback 2 (Dynamic ~300ms)
Clean: MIJ CS-3 -> GT-500 -> MIJ CE-2 -> Flint
Tuner: Korg Pitchblack Portable
When combined, the dirty loop is cascaded into the clean loop. The signal and switch outputs from the Loopmaster go to a junction box hidden under the left end of the riser.
Original NPBD here, while v2 is here, v3 is here, v4 is here, and v5 is here.
