Just redid my pedalboard, with pictures

[blackba]

With all those pedalboard threads recently, I thought I would share mine. I love those trailer trash pedalboards, in that you can hide the cables, but my NYC pedalboards work great. I have been keeping one at the practice space, but decided to bring it home since practices have been few and far between. The 1st one is one I use with Single channel amps typically. If the single channel amps had an effects loop, I would put the pedals on the 2nd tier in the effects loop.

Single chain is Teese Wheels of Fire Wah -> Korg DT-10 -> Timmy -> Maxon OD-9 -> HBE plank Cranker -> Barber Dirty Bomb -> Danelectro fish and chips EQ -> Maxon CS-9pro -> Maxon AD-80 -> Line6 Verbzilla -> Homemade AB box.

The other 2 boxes are to switch the vibrato on my fender super and for switching the Reverb and vibrato on my Fender Bandmaster reverb. I love having the LEDs to know when those functions are on.

The 2nd one is what I use with multichannel amps typically. The 2nd row is the effects loop. Signal chain is Vox Clyde McCoy reissue Wah -> MXR EVH phase 90 -> Peterson Strobostomp2 -> Maxon OD-808 -> Hermida Zendrive -> Hermida Mosferatu -> Barber Tone Press -> Homemade AB box -> Amp. In the loop Danelectro fish and chips EQ -> Jacques Meistersinger -> BYOC Tremelo -> Akai Headrush E1.

Also shown is a homemade channel switcher box for my Marshall 2553. It does have an LED on the head to show the channel, but its nice to have it on the pedalboard.

Simple and effective.

Nice stuff!

Still have to figure out if my modfactor is going in the loop or in front, have some experimenting to do.

Compared to the boards on the forums, yes its pretty simple. Compared to what people in my areas are using, its huge.

Only things I feel I am missing is a univibe, and a fuzz or two. I am eventually going to get on the list for a sweet sound Mojo vibe. For the fuzzs, I may get a SI fuzz face type and then a big muff type. Not sure at this point.

Have you looked into BYOC pedals?

Nice boards man! I've been curious about that Barber Dirty Bomb. I'm assuming you're using it for more high gain type sounds with those fenders? How's it sound?

I really like the dirty bomb, it has that massive enveloping sound like you hear in the big muff. It just takes over your sound in a good way. I had a MI Audio crunchbox that I AB'ed it against and the Crunchbox just sounded narrow by comparsion (hard to explain). I did add a bypass cap per Barber's recommendations to tame the treble a bit. The Weber speakers (jensen clones) I am using are not good for high gain. I don't use the dirty bomb all that often, its just there for when I need some serious crunch. If I am playing alot of gain, I use my mesa mark IV or Marshall 2553. Its worth the $100 IMO.

Yes I have, I like soldering, I just hate finishing the box. I would probably get the Large Beaver (Big Muff clone) and ESV fuzz (Germainium fuzz face).

Some of the other boxes I made, I got the prefinished boxes so I didn't have to paint them. The BYOC fuzzs are probably the way to go, since the circuits are pretty simple overall....
