Peter Hanmers' (PJH here on GFSA) Pedalboard & rig

joel

So , I went to see the new show by Clint & co , featuring Peter Hanmer (PJH here on GFSA) on guitar.
A spectacular show as usual (at least me and about 350 other people thought so ? )

Anyhow, I was fortunate enough to have a chat with Peter before the show about his pedalboard and stuff . I thought I'd share it with you.
(I have his permission to do so 8) )

MI Audio Blueboy pro and MI Audio Crunchbox for Drives , H&K REDBOX for DI to PA , everything else BOSS ?.........

The order is : Boss line selector > MI Audio Blueboy Pro > MI Audio Crunchbox > Boss Chorus > Boss Harmonist > Boss Tremelo > Boss Tuner > Boss Delay > Boss Volume Pedal> Boss Line selector...The radio is a Samson Airline.
Heres a pic I took during the interval :

So here's whats going on :
The first line selector lifts the level when using a Strat , ( as well as to give the Blueboy an ass-kick when needed ). The other line selector lifts the level for solos.The A/B switcher switches between the amp and home-made talkbox (when he uses one ). The H&K 'REDBOX' , ( http://www.hughes-and-kettner.com/products.php5?id=110 ) used to DI to the PA system , is built into the base of the pedalboard.

Guitars: Tokai , Fender electrics and Ibanez Acoustic.

For stage monitors :
Amp head: Marshall MGFX 100
Cab: Marshall TSL 122

I only notice now theres no power going into them powerjacks....... ?

Hi Joel,

The power for the pedals are run up from the bottom of the board through the bottom of the pedals into the battery jacks of the pedals themselves.

I hate untidy boards, so the less plugs etc the better.

Cheers,

Peter.

Brilliant.

ps. with the amount of Bossage going on you've got enough raw material for a tank ? My OD has survived 2 world wars and 2 toddlers... scratched but solid... that's why I like the TS-9 as well...

9 Boss pedals is just too much for me too handle ?
I could only survive by using 2. I use the BOSS HM-2 HEAVY METAL and the BOSS DD-20 GIGA DELAY

Why is the tuner at that point in the chain? There's several effects before it that could driver a tuner crazy.

Never had a problem tuning. The main thing is just make sure that no other pedals are on when tuning. The only two that can really make a difference are the two mod pedals (harmonist and chorus) so they are obviously off when tuning.

He doesn't need to tune his guitars, only once before the show starts. ?

I've discussed with Peter many times about manufacturing pedalboards like his, but he reckons it's too much work.
Not a wire to be seen on that pedalboard, everything hidden in the hollowed out area underneath the board...pretty damn amazing, and built like a tank.
