Is this too much? my new pedalboard

I don't think i can squeeze another pedal on here if i tried! I really try to be as plain as possible, but some of these pedals are too darn cool! So here goes...

My guitars include 2 fender starts, a tele, epi les paul and a shariton II.

Ernie Ball volume, tuner out to a boss TU2, Vox Clyde McCoy, Boss Noise supressor, Maxon OD9, Ibanez tube king (my baby!!), Boss EQ (lead boost), Boss Digital Delay (with FS5U tap temp), Boss Tremolo, and finally my latest toy, a Line6 MM4 (all my chorus, leslie, phaser sounds). From there it goes into my FENDER Twin Reverb RI. ...in a way i am kind of sad to have this good of tone at such a young age!

Nice board, I don't think it's overdone at all. The Twin is a great amp for cleans and handles pedals well. My powered pedalboard can power up to 10 pedals and I'm bent and determined to fill each and every one ;)
 
Re: Is this too much? my new pedalboard

Hell ya bro! I should mention that the VOX wah, Maxon OD9, & LINE6 MM4 are all true bypass, and the Tuner is not in the chain, so I'm not loosing as much tone as you might expect

Looks great! Are you using the L6 as your last pedal? If so, it's cool to have a stereo pedal, so you can run stereo to two amps, if you feel like it.
The only thing that would tidy it up would be a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power II, just so you can eliminate the power strip. Still, it's a great setup, and at 27, you're not too young to have great tone! He He

i like the power strip on there. You never know where your power is going to come from at bars. At rehersals I just plug the amp into the power strip, or sometimes i use a wireless and plug it in there too. you never know when you are going to need power someplace like that

My friend. The Game is called rock n roll. In it we play guitar.

First rule is: Too much is never enough.

In fact, you aren't even allowed to ask!
 
Re: Is this too much? my new pedalboard

Hey that looks great!

Where did you find out how to make it organized and how to hook it up?
Is there a place where you read up on how to get pedalboards? which power supplies to use? Which cables to use and how to get them? How to fasten the effects to the board?

Do you have any information I can read up on all that because I'm a newbie to the pedal board stuff, and I wanna get one...

Is that power supply all 9 volts to all those effects?

Where can i buy a board like that?

How come you are going wah into distortion and not the other way around? Didn't Hendrix go distortion --> wah ? Or are you going for a different sound. I just have a Crybaby 535q myself and I use it after the distortion...

Thanks in advance.

I personally don't think its bad at all. But...I quote you a second time...

Maybe you should get rid of the ones that aren't "too darn cool". That'll give you a little more room. :)
 
Re: Is this too much? my new pedalboard

That's a very neat, tidy, and effective pedalboard. Very nicely done!

Now, if you could post how/what you used and how much it costed, I'll try and duplicate one, just a little bit bigger to accomodate my whammy
 
Re: Is this too much? my new pedalboard

to carry it, check out Rok Sak Gizmo bags, which I use for my smaller board...and for the larger one I use a padded keyboard bag...just unzip the bags and play..no need to take the board out of the bag.
 
Re: Is this too much? my new pedalboard

Looks really good. So you're using a Boss Tremolo pedal instead of the Twin RI's trem - why is that?
 
Re: Is this too much? my new pedalboard

Definitely not too much as long as you're willing to schlep it around. I used to have a 16x30 board but have slimmed things down to 12x24. The smaller board is a bit tight but it's so much easier to carry that I don't mind. Of course, I'd have a lot more room if I could come up with a better place for the Juicebox.
 
Re: Is this too much? my new pedalboard

I have 7 pedals on my board, and I'm looking to add 2 or 3 more. So, I don't think you have too much. The more the merrier!
 
Re: Is this too much? my new pedalboard

Cool setup you got there. You can never have too many pedal! Here's my "stripped down" setup 4 years ago when i was still playing on a regular basis.

Re: Is this too much? my new pedalboard

This is my board at the moment, waiting on a wah I'm getting for Christmas and a delay pedal I hope to get next year. Then I'll have one space left for... who knows...

Re: Is this too much? my new pedalboard

You can never have too many pedals. It is not possible. Indeed, you are not even allowed to ask if "to much is to much". I concur with the previous statement.

If I could show you my acoustic pedal board, you would laugh your banana off. It is the most overdone, overkilled acoustic setup in history.......and I love it.
