Hi guys just wanted to start this thread so that everyone can see each others pedalboard. So here is mine pretty simple just a Boss ME-50 & i am going 2...

Your Pedalboard!!!

Added VP JR from Danny B. Board's more cramped than I would like. Looking to move to something a little bigger with a solid case soon.

Reckon it has all I need for now. Except maybe a Fuzz Face (or version thereof)... Then I'll have all the classic fuzz options. Can't ever have too much fuzz! ?

P.S. I hope this will be it for now... :-[

I've heard a lot of people complain about the Line 6 modulation pedal dropping volume when it's on. Have found this?

Norman86

alrighty... all wired up and working 100%

Used George L's right angle connectors, i like the uniformity.
i just need 2 more because i couldnt count! :-[

i ended up changing the order of my pedals..

Strat -> Craig Amps ShoeShyne Buffer -> Vox 847A Wah -> Korg Pitchblack Poly -> Xotic Effects SP Compressor -> Craig Amps Ragnarok Fuzz -> Craig Amps Zirconia Overdrive -> Amplifier Input.

Effects loop send -> Strymon El Capistan dTape delay -> Strymon Flint Reverb Tremolo -> Boss RC3 Loop Station -> Effects loop return.

Am i happy now? Hell yes! I have really great pedals ?
imo anyways!

Good stuff Norman, I like it - and I am sure you could squeeze one or two more in if pedal GAS gets the better of you ?

Good looking board you got there Norman. Nice selection of top quality pedals.

Yes. But I do believe that the way you set the presets might have a bearing on this. I mostly combat this with the boost on the ParaEQ. Whilst this can be very annoying, I reckon in terms of what the pedal has to offer, it should not put you off if considering one. In fact, I love mine.

And there are quite some info wrt to mods online, should one wish to do so...

Just a few changes to my board.

Changed the Boss FV50 volume pedal for an Ernie Ball VP Jr. Added a Boss Blues Driver I had lying around and the EP Booster I got from RoyC.

Blues Driver is however just holding space until I can get my hands on an OCD.

Nice Rowen!

I bought Roy's Timmy, and he mentioned someone from Shepstone had bought the EP Booster. How is it treating you?

Hi Danny

Only got the pedal yesterday and didn't get a chance to play with it as yet. Hoping to spend some quality time with it either today or tomorrow.

That Timmy you got was an excellent buy. I also wanted it but the wife would have had a fit.

One thing I must say is Roy really takes care of his gear. This pedal looks brand spanking new.

Thanks Giggsy! Im hoping it wont though.. Now i just need a favourite pedal for the El Cap, but thats pretty much it!

Thanks Rowen! Yeah, the pedals are pretty spectacular ?

Norman86

Rowen, that harmonist is an interesting pedal..
How do you like it? what DOES is do exactly? (excuse the very little reading up on it)
and how are you using it in your setup?

It is a pitch shifter/intelligent harmoniser can do all the usual tricks - pitch shifting, detuning, and adding up to two harmony voices. It's no Eventide, but a very cool little pedals nonetheless.

Hi Norman

Does exactly what Alan said. Quite a cool pedal. I use it for harmony on some songs.

Norman86

Cool, thanks guys!
Other than eventide, what other pedals are similar? the digitech whammy i presume? others?

My latest version of my pedal board is more toward my guitar than my bass (where it started).

This is my old pedal board that I made for my bass.

Wasn't working so well and when I bought a guitar, I just started loving the guitar effects and I started enjoying a simpler bass set up. So here is my pedal board now.

Signal: Boss CS-3 (modded) -> Boss OC-2 -> home made twin cut and boost pedal (right switch reduces volume same as a guitar volume, left switch is an LPB-1) -> Vox Big Ben overdrive -> Proco Rat copy -> DOD Meat Box -> Ernie Ball VP Jr -> Line 6 Echo Park
Also Ibanez LU-20 in the EB VP tuner output

Most of my pedals were quite cheap and second hand. The line 6 and the Ibanez were both bought new, but on good sale prices. I'm going for quantity first. One day when I have money there will be better pedals... and more... so many more... 0____0

Psean

Cool stuff. The boost/cut is looking good ? How's that meat box?
Oh, and I see the blues driver's gone - are you just Boosting the vox and the rat now?

EDIT: Is that a Lego hat on the OC-2 's direct level knob?

DDR4LYF

The meat box is great. I creates this really low sub-octave awesomeness, which is cool to low end beef-up the distortion. Don't use it much with the guitar by itself.
The blues driver is a friend's and I wasn't really enjoying the sound as much as the Big Ben, so yeah, just boosting the vox for that sound. The boosted Rat with the octave before it sounds like a chain saw! I love it!!!
The OC-2 has a lego man's head as the control knob, the old knob broke and I need something to point in some direction. I can swop his hat for something else if I want (the head is stuck on), but for now it's a white cap! Well spotted! Just following after the alien on the bass control on my Hartke... ?

Cool - lots of low-end stuff happening between the OC-2 and the Meatbox

I thought as much ?

@ Danny B
Please post your thoughts on the Timmy.
Did it meet your expectations ?
What do you think of it ?

Danny-B

Joel, I'm loving it at the moment. What a lovely sounding drive. I need to actually use it in a performance, but I play at performance volume at home anyway. I barely turn on my BBD these days. I'm not exactly sure how it sounds 'transparent'. Yeah, there's no obvious midhump like there is with a TS, and there is a lot more bottom end coming through, but it most definitely has it's own character, which I do like.
