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 buy myself a digitech hot head & some other pedals. So guyz start posting pics of your pedalboard. I dont have a photo of my board yet so just got some photos of the pedals off the net.

Schaweet! Wierd that it's red. Is it just a "normal" crybaby?

Will do Luke! Only saw the reply today otherwise I would have spoken last night.
I sprayed the pedal red, used to be run of the mill black crybaby. I'm gonna strip it and spray it with blue engine enamel, should look really porno.

Hey Reinhard

No worries mate. Only saw your post this morning.

Blue will most definately look porno, but so Rock N Roll 8)

Mmmm ... Prospective pedalboard case ?

HAHAHA once saw a guy bring in a dj turntable/mixer case he modded into a borad. it was so big his back was squashed up against the drummer the whole night and what sounds did his use? his amp distortion hahahahahahaha

So I finally got it done. It's freakin heavy but I love.

Signal chain :

XDR1 Receiver -> Korg Pitch Black Tuner -> Zvex Wah Probe -> Musicom EFX MKII
Loop 1 - Radial PB1 Booster/Buffer
Loop 2 - Cusack Screamer Fuzz & Divided by Thirteen Joyride
Loop 3 - Maxon OD 820 and Lovekraft Mojo Drive
Loop 4 - Boss DM-2
Visual Volume
Loop 5 - Cusack Tap A Whirl
Loop 6 - Boss DD-5
Loop 7 - Nova Delay
Loop 8 - ChoralFlange

My ISP decimator is acting up so its off the board for now and I'm waiting for my buddy to bring my Keeley Compressor over from the US later this month. Seriously contemplating replacing the Nova delay with an Eventide Timefactor so I can use the Midi Switching on the EFX MKII.

NICE BOARD!!! Super cool stuff on there, that overdrive Maxon one is great, so transparent

Hey, Reinhard how do you like the Barber LTD SR? Is it as transparent as the marketing suggests? Mmhm...Okko Diablo! ? How does it compare to the LTD?

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm genuinely curious.

Oky,how's the Cusack Screamer Fuzz, I have to know,that thing is suppose to be amazing?
Probably not that important,but still for interests sake,how's the versatility? How much boost do you get out of it?
How transparent is the boost section,and most importantly,how's the fuzz?

I wouldn't really call it a boost since it's basically the scream (Tube Screamer) circuit fom the Cusack Screamer + a fuzz.

That said it does kick up your volume a lot. I use it more on the scream side with a bit of fuzz mixed in.

It is very transparent compared to my TS-808 reissue. As far as I understand the clean guitar signal gets mixed in as well. I dunno. I stack it with my other pedals for different stuff. Very seldom use it on it's own.

As for being amazing, its a matter of taste. Its a very well built pedal and if its the sound your looking for then yes its amazing, but that can be said for a Boss DS1 if that's what you like. I like it. So it stays in my pedal farm.

DUDE!!! you have the DM-2.. WOW.

On a side note, Why do you have soo many delays

This is gonna sound bad to the vintage vibe guys, but I actually prefer my MXR Carbon Copy to the DM-2. The only reason the DM-2 is on my board at the moment is because the switch on my CC is faulty and I had to send it for repairs.

On why I have so many delays,

1. I just love a good delay.
2. I can't bring myself to sell my DD-5 or my DM-2. They're collectable and I can't not use them, cause that would just be a waste.
3. The nova I use for church cause we get our set lists on a Tuesday and I can pre-program the delay types and tempos in advance and then just recall the preset for a specific song which is really handy.

All of that said, I might be doing a deal tonight for an Eventide Timfactor, so the nova will be going up for sale if that comes through. I want the midi control functionality of the TimeFactor. My dd-5 might be taking a back seat to my TREX Replica, again because of midi control functionaility.

What !!! ?

I paid more than double that for mine. What a steal. I can't believe they let it go so cheap. Good for you.

MIKA-the-better-one

I dont think they knew what they had......... I was so surprised.... I sorta payed and ran to my car, thinking they were going to chase me........ But yeh, it sits on my band mates board now........... coool stuff.....

So here is my Pedalboard 8)

A pre-painted wooden shower duckboard , covered with a loop-pile carpet.
I like the carpet because velcro sticks to it , therefore pedals can be shuffled around the board easily. Also , the loop-pile allows small cable ties to be used.

I've also used little rubber feet to raise the front of the board a bit.........

Cable ties through the loop pile....

☹ , now I just need to get better quality patch cables....

FruitarGeek

Oh I see.. Well I suppose its always better to have too many delays than too little. haha

Im getting a pedal board custom designed for me, so hopefully will be able to get some pics up soon

MIKA-the-better-one

yay fora nice board..... and neat tooo ?

Super coooool... now all guitars and amps in please ?

My homemade attempt.

Case was bought from some antique store for R150.

Crybaby -> Screamin' blues OD which has two outputs, nowadays I put one into the Zoom to use it as a tuner, the other to the amp. I use my amp's delay/reverb. For what I paid for my setup I'm very happy with it.

Wah -> OD works a lot better for me, different gain settings change the sound of the wah a lot.

Powered by a Flat Dog power supply, which was affordable & sufficient for my needs. I'm looking to replace the 505 and power supply with a TU-2/3 or Korg pitchblack though... if anyone has one they're not using...

Underneath the pedals is a storage area for cables etc.

Case was built by bolting 3 planks along the sides of the case, with a platform attached to the back plank by a hinge. I added an extra plank down the middle to support the area where I'll be standing on the wah, as the platform is made out of chipboard. I used some contact glue to glue a leftover piece of carpet on top, and added a doorknob that I happened to have lying around to open it with. All pretty straightforward, and it came out just as I'd hoped - practical, unique and affordable ?

I have almost exactly the same case with exactly the same setup - right down to the little pine supports on the side! ?
