Time for another Show Your Pedal Board thread!

Re: Time for another Show Your Pedal Board thread!

I just moved them from the bottom row. Yeah no issues at all. I just step up and over. They're close together also, which makes you have to use your toes anyway. I also removed the nuts from underneath the 4 loop footswitches, using only the lock washer underneath. So the switch sits up higher off the chassis, which you can't tell from the photo.

Frank, you've got 3 pedals I'm interested in... What are your impressions of the Pinnacle, Little Brute and Thirty Something?

Can the Pinnacle be dialed back to a mid gain (true) plexi tone or is it pretty hot even with the gain down? For the Little Brute, does it function as both a boost and a drive?
 
Re: Time for another Show Your Pedal Board thread!

The Thirty Something is phenomenal at doing the Vox thing. I've played Edge style delay stuff with it, and anything else where you want the pick attack to be really up front. It's a pretty clean pedal unless/until you hit it with the boost button. For that reason it also takes overdrive pedals well in front of it.

The Pinnacle wants to be dirty. It's hard to dial it back. Even with the gain at zero it's still got some hair on it. So it's not that it can't make a mid-gain Plexi tone, it's just that it's also a little bright for that since I think it's voiced to sound like a "modded" Plexi as you crank it up.

The Lil Brute Drive can be a boost and/or drive. You would have to open it up and adjust the level trim pot so you got a nice boost even if the gain was set low. I run the gain about half or nearly half. There's also a tone control trimmer inside which really smooths out the fizz but I leave that high too. (for this pedal's purpose on my board)

This is it right now. Just using the Fuzz Factory to get some trippy noise on my latest recording.... usually have a Hoof there.

Here's my latest. The pink thing is my Rat clone, and the blue one is RockStarNick's old BYOC tremolo.

I'm having trouble figuring out if the CC should bump one of those pedals in the top row.

Such a mysterious Black Box.

Just a delay with two heads, one short with a clear sound, and the longer that is slightly darker, on off for each head, and one overall on off...trails and with a stereo to two mono cables I can split it up...
One of a kind....prototype....

Got a new hard rock gig. Doing stuff from James Gang to Buckcherry. I figured I would be set with this board and move to the big board as the set expands.

I dig... Wah last?

Yeah, yeah I know. I have alway had the wah last. I have tried putting it first because "the common consensus" is to have the wah at the end of the path. Didn't like it and put it back at the end of the chain. My main reason for having it there is it is also a volume pedal and I don't want it buffering the effects. I use the volume a hell of a lot more than I use the wah.

All is fair in love and pedalboard order! I definitely understand...
 
Re: Time for another Show Your Pedal Board thread!

Just did some clean-up and rearranging on my two pedalboards this past weekend. Small one is my gigging board, the other one is a heavy pig and stays home. Both are set up exactly like I prefer them and I'm pretty happy with them.

My board changed again, so might as well post it, nothing too fancy about it though.
