Build Your Dream Board

Go to here: Pedal Board Planner, build your dream pedal board, and post it on here, and then explain the signal chain.

From the guitar I go into the MXR EQ (set for mid boost), into the Crybaby, then the Wah Probe, then into The Gig Rig.

The Gig Rig has 10 effects loops that I can use in any combination with the 14 presets. Preset 7 will be the tuner so that I have an "off switch" while preset 14 will be my straight unaffected signal.

Presets 1-3 are the MXR Custom Badass for my "heavy distortion". Preset 1 is just the MXR with some compression and the Smart Gate, preset 2 adds some delay, and preset 3 adds a bit of chorus in place of the delay.

Presets 4-6 are clean; all three have reverb. Preset 4 is chorus and delay preset 5 is chorus, and preset 6 is phaser and delay.

Presets 8-10 are with the Rockett Archer for a mid gain overdrive. Preset 8 is the Archer with some compression, preset 9 has some delay, and preset 10 is phaser with delay.

Presets 11-13 are the Swollen pickle. Preset 11 is just the fuzz with the gate, preset 12 adds delay, and preset 13 adds chorus instead of delay.

From the Gig Rig, the signal goes to the Freeze then to the boost.

Well that would be my dream pedal board. Post yours below.

My perfect board is an amp I can plug straight into and get everything I could ever want out of it. But alas, I'm so very needy, and such an amp would be very hard to come by.
 
Re: Build Your Dream Board

I already have several of what I consider "dream boards". Not too long ago I had a big PT Pro with about 13 pedals on it, and I decided that was too big to schlep around. So I now have 3 Nano boards and a mini, each with a specific combination of pedals that fit certain musical moods I get into, or certain amps and/or guitars. I just pre-ordered one of Pedaltrain's new Metro 16 boards for my latest one - to use my Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere plus a tuner and an Earthquaker Devices Speaker Cranker overdrive on. Here is a Pedalplanner mockup, finished in Photoshop with a picture of the Rotosphere (it will feed a matched pair of slightly modded Silverface Champs):

The Rotosphere is awesome through a stereo rig, and the Speaker Cranker is a very amp-like overdrive... I can't wait to get this up and running!
 
Re: Build Your Dream Board

This is exactly what I used to plan my board before I started making it! I've already posted it and explained it a lot recently since it just a few weeks ago became finished, so I'll refrain this time.

Before 1st amp (plain box is my "Clown" pedal which is an EP-3 preamp):

From Suhr ISO Line Out box; in-between 1st and 2nd amps:

- I have all these stomps already
- the 1st amp is loaded down and provides the distortion (slaved)
- for clean just turn down the guitar's vol knob

I am running pretty much my dream set up for now.

It does all I need and want in both low volume and stage situations...
