Updates on pedalboard (big pics)

[54stratlover]

Here are updates on my pedal board. I know, it's big. Someday I will post the full fig. It's for a poor man's stereo fender and marshall rig. Kind of a funky Eric Johnson set up. I have fun with it, that's what really matters. I just threw some pedals on it for show.

pedals are for showing what it looks like. I don't use some of them much. will be adding velcro and power supply next, the finishing touches.

HOLY WOW! U can sleep in that thing after the show!

Most of those pedals aren't true bypass. Do u use a looper, so u don't have too much signal loss?

Re: Updates on pedalboard (big pics)

Actually looks like you need some "buffering" with the amount of pedals on your board..You must be losing some highs and some signal...Right?

Wow. That thing is huuuuuge! It dwarfs my 24x12 board. :scared:

Yeah, but I'd be more concerned with losing the "tone" of my amp. I guess when I used the phrase "signal loss" I really meant: the amps integrity. I'd use a looper pedal so I can completely turn off (ignore) parts of the board.

I plan on getting one of these soon. That way, I can completely bypass my board (except for my buffer and volume pedal) when not in use.

Holy Moly, I got a ruptured disk just looking at the thing! It's bigger than most stages I've played on.... okay all kidding aside, great job!

As far as the tone and signal loss, the first thing I plug into is a VHT Valvulator it sets behind tuner. It converts from high Z to Low Z. With that i found that i could use many pedals (obviously) without signal/tone/high loss.

Wow, very big! You might want to make a smaller lighter version for smaller stages. I like the DL4, though I always use mine in non-true bypass mode.

Oh, and with a board that big, you may want one of these;

I am toying with the idea of using a looper for some of the pedals. I havn't got it inmy head how I want to organize things yet. I like those loopers in the link above.

I have kind of figured that being the first one i make i can get a few of my ideas worked out. I do plan on making another one, smaller, and then maybe road cases for each. I like having a board that i can have all my pedals on to mix and match pedals and "tone search".

go to the valvulator I on that site and it will explain the buffer I use. I really like it. It has a little magic to it. Really adds some dimension to the tone. even if it was the only pedal used in the signal chain.

Jeezus man, i though I had an overkill pedal rig... where's the photon torpedoes and nagivation control on that thing? :haha:

Thats pretty cool that you're building it yourself! Smart move with the valvulator.
