Here's a pedalboard that I did for a player up in Portland, Oregon.

This board is huge, 18 PEDALS!!! We went through several different scenarios for pedals, arrangements, and power. Ultimately, we settled on using two Pedal Power 2 Plus' (and daisy-chaining some OD's) for the most consistent and reliable power. I also made a power cabling snake so that the AC cords stay together and neat on stage when the client gigs since two cords are necessary to power the 2 Pedal Power Units.

The board is very quiet with both single-coils and even more so with humbuckers, and has a great variety of tones. This board has a bit of everything on it, and has the widest array of overdrives/distortions that I've ever put on any pedalboard. The board also has a custom interface with buffering built in to provide a strong and uncolored guitar signal all the way through the board. The board may have be giant, but the tone was also HUGE!

The order of the effects are:

Interface IN (from guitar)--> Boss TU-2 --> BBE Ben Wah --> POG 2 --> Pfeiffer Phaser --> Wampler Compressor --> Interface IN/Buffer Out --> Flying Dragon --> Sparkle Drive --> Cusack Screamer --> Zendrive --> Butah --> Timmy --> Crunch Box --> Retro-Sonic Chorus --> Ernie Ball Volume Pedal --> Empress Tremolo --> ClinchFX EP-PRE --> Carbon Copy --> Boss DD-7 --> Interface Out (to amp)

killer work! That is super neat, specially with that many pedals on there. Those patch cables with the flat ends on them...did you make them or did you buy them from somewhere? I want to get pre-made calbes like that for my board (im no good at soldering). Any idea where i can order some? HOSA makes them but they are generally crappy cables. Thanks

Erik,

I make everything to order, everything is made custom including power cables, patch cables, interfaces, buffers, etc. I can make you some, or you can look at Lava Cable. I'm not sure if he uses flat pancake plugs or not, but he specializes in cables.
