Arranged it differently this time.

And what is with the silver @$$ coaster on the chair?


So much "no"

Here we go....I think you'll be surprised.

I really like the DIY/Workman quality about this.

Basic white lumber unfinished, metal unfinished and plain tape labeled boxes. Wah and noise down low, simple CU tuner. Ambience up top...splash of color with the two TC units. I was going to hate on the EHX unit, but I even like the fact that he didn't go all TC upstairs.

I'd love to have my Carbon Copy back in place of the Canyon, but it won't work in the loop. Strongly considering a CC Deluxe, but the EHX does sound all right, and I lost my last eBay bidding war for one.
 
Ok, let’s get this going again. I just bought my my Ghostfire pedalboard from Amazon. Just like Pedaltrain, but this one has adjustable collapsing legs for when it goes in the case. Stands at an angle when using it and lies flat in the bag. Half the price of Pedaltrain and for what my needs are, a no brainer . Super light too.

Here is a pic of my recently completed board. I was waiting on my Plexi Drive to complete the setup. The only thing that won’t fit is my Marshall footswitch, but I don’t care about that. I am trying to decide on the tuning pedal I want and I think I can either fit it by making some changes or I’ll lose the Decimator. I may not need it as much as I thought. I’m thinking Peterson Stomp Classic or Polytune.

You buy an epic Plexi pedal and then skewer it with a Decimator afterwards. Make up your mind man! Do you want loud? DO YOU???

That chrome pedal looks hideous by the way on there. See the Vapor low key metallic? And there are those effing crayons looking boxes of pasteurized digital chorus and reverb. You put that crap with that Plexi pedal? I'm telling Wampler on you. Let's be real - this is a rock board. You only use one setting on the delay, chorus and reverb any way.

This board needs The Wampler, The Vapor Trail, A Waza CE-2, and an EHX Neo Grail. (Alternate Choices: Waza Dimension C and an EHX Ocean's 11 if you want to high end it.). reverbToss a Black Polytune up front. Now THAT would have been a board. But you went awesome, followed by crap mostly.

I should go into pedal board consultation.
 
Hey Ace, I found a pic of a pedalboard in another thread that I think you can sink your teeth into:

Three delays . . . how's touring life with Bono going? :P
 
Whos board is this it is horrible in so many ways. What is with the EVH P90 knock off. It reminds me of the poor kid that had to wear NOKEs or REEBACKs to gym class. There is so much delay on the board I get the feeling the owner might be developmentally delayed. The CF7 is telling me this guy can't pick a chorus to put on his board and roll with it. Time to commit buddy. I have no idea what that green piece of crap is in the middle of the board. The RAT is nice, I would suggest throwing the rest of the board and the trash and just rolling with The RAT.

Well played gentlemen, well played! :clap:
I was wondering when you would find that! It's on page one of the original thread.
 
Ok, after much tweaking and experimenting -I think I'm done with my gig board.

Ace, do your worst!

A couple of notes
  • Pedal Placement IS NOT Pedal order -placement is based on which pedals interacted with during a song. (Tuner, Compressor, Delay, and Pitchfork are not touched during song)
  • The Flint isn't always on there -it's for having Reverb and Tremelo when I'm not using my amps -like a backline situation where I can't trust the provided amps. When it's not on there it's usually a EHX B9 pedal or some crazy modulation pedal.
  • The 3 most used pedals during a show are the 3 ones most accessible -Archer Overdrive, Channel Switch (Left side ) on Revival Drive and Tremelo engage (Left Side)
  • Blue Tape is settings notes for if I've had a drink or 3.
  • All cabling in tied down and doesn't move freely at all.
  • The Origin Cali 1176 is the best pedal compressor I've ever tried (and I've tried a lot) if you want rich tones and harmonics to just off the amp -this is your desert island compressor.
  • The Revival Drive is incredible -I don't know where to begin.
  • MXR Tap tempo control is actually bolted to pedal board for solid tap timing with foot.
  • I'm not really a "Strymon Guy" but the FLint's 61 Harmonic Trem is superlative, and after testing 7-8 power supplies, the Ojai was the quietest for digital pedal noise tested on a scope (kudos to Strymon)
  • The Revival Drive and FLint sit way higher above in height than the other pedals -which is good as it is easy to stay on them and get to them quickly.
  • All of the pedals fit inside the footprint of the board -if they appear to be hanging off -it's due to the foreshortening and fisheye of the camera shot from 6 ft above.
  • Underneath are redundant power supplies in case of failure when traveling.
  • I haven't added the extra large rubber grip feet on the underside yet -but I always do.

Anyone too dumb to remember what the six buttons do....and classless enough to put tape on a Strymon and an Archer - does not deserve nice things.

Fantastic arrangement here.

Planet waves bucks the TU2 trend, and mutes
The original 80's big box Rat just screams style & tone
Flanger up front is a bold statement. 4 knobs - I approve
Amp switches also on frontline

Backline has swirl and ambience, as it should
Chorus Factory for just the right tone - excellent
Homespun EVH - cost conscious! Nice, because those EVH things are way over priced. A Behringer/Joyo will do as well for way less.
I would typically hate on the Garage Tone, but likely there because easy to see/set knobs for on the fly changes. Nice move
RV3 - Choice pedal to get a nice ambient solo!
DD-3 - who really needs more.

I like that this is homemade and allows a little space to breach. No need to cram!

For those wondering...a JIC Joyo US Dream also ended up on the bottom for an alternate dirt on the clean channel (Rat was a boost to the OD channel), and an Ibanez AD-9 also went on top for a tight delay; Solo delay, tight delay analog, soaring solo delay+reverb, and mostly VH setting changes, AInt talking, Panama, etc...

Haha. awesome -those 2 pedals have 2 buttons -those are not for me, it's for anyone using my board in the rehearsal/studio space and how to get my pedals back to my settings -except if I've drank a bit.


-as for dumb -says the guy rocking pink reeboks onstage. :lmao:

I got an underside to show you.

No one cares. Only the floor can see that. Unfortunately, we have already seen the top, so maybe this is better...

Setting up a good board requires the power setup and distribution as the most important part next to acessing the pedals themselves.

but underside joke is solid -I'll take that one!
 
I am laughing so much at how everyone including Ace has the instinct to defend their board. I know boards are even more personal than a guitar or amp in some ways but this is hilarious. You would think Ace just told you your baby was ugly. And yes I include myself in this comment.

So true -I got offended for whatever reason -I invited the criticism then didn't like it... :lmao:
 
I suppose that I'm one of the few people more concerned with how I think things sound than with how they look.
And yes, I know that a lot of people hate the sound of the Metalzone. As I said, how I think that things sound.
