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.

It's good, not fantastic but good. I would like to upgrade the power supply, just so I can add another 2 pedals, but otherwise I have no problems with it. Try and get the one in the hard case if you travel with it, the gig bag is not great. I end up losing settings in the gig bag and have to redial my pedals often. The input/output jacks are very useful when playing around with pedal order and your amps pre post stages.

For me it works well, if you do have a bit of savvy and can make your own I'd suggest do that, make it exactly what you want keeping in mind expansion. ?

Thanks CDee - lots to think about!

Okay, so the December break (if you can call it that with kids off school for over a month) wasn't a complete waste of time:

Nice work!!!

My Humble submission. Have had this for a few months now, made it myself. I am new to pedals etc. so please don't judge me too harshly. I got most of these on the cheap and they are serving me well thus far.

Hey Kush, you didn't happen to buy that Morley Wah at Cash Converters in Fourways by any chance?

Nice looking board. It looks like it is made well! Is the setup/takedown easy?

Kush

@ Sebber, no I bought this from a player in the East Rand. He is also a forumite.

@DDR4LYF Thanks. Setup and take down is easy once you get the hang of the method of patching through the cables through the slats. The red board is a ducoed MDF board cut on a CNC the width is just enough to allow a cable through but does not let the lead pin or head of the cable through. From the center, you can push the slats apart easily and allow the cables through. So you have to have that worked out before hand. Apart from that its pretty easy.

I know it's a long shot but I'd lay some money down to say that's the first ever effects pedal I ever bought, in Canterbury (UK), when I was about 16 (22 years ago) and brought down with me when I moved from the UK. If not, thanks all the same, that's a blast from the past!

Just one change to my board. Finally got my OCD and it's amazing :woohoo:

With a board that neat you definitely have got your OCD ?

Howzit Rowen,

Sorry if you've outlined this before (I couldn't find it), but I have a couple of questions about your signal path (I couldn't tell for certain from the photo):
(a) are the Neutriks on top just linked straight to the ones on the sides?
(b) everything in front of the amp?
(c) how do you use your volume pedals (looks to me like one is before your dirt pedals as a "gain control", one at the end as more of a level control?)

Thanks man.

Howzit boet. With regard to your questions:

(a) Yep, you are right. Makes it easier to swap out pedals or change board configuration should the need arise.
(b) Right again. I Play through a Vox AC 15. No effects loop.
(c) And right again. One serves as a gain control and for volume swells and the one at the end is to control overall level.

Cheers.

Thanks ?

Since the last post, the Mobius, POG2, polytune and freeze have been kicked off. Also now running in stereo! HOG2 and H9 have been in for a half year or so. Great pedals! The HOG2 is great, a lovely combo of the POG2 and freeze, but with excellent midi integration. I also now have a midi splitter underneath my board, 1 in 3 out. Super useful. Oh, and I also got one of those pedal train booster things for the H9 and Timeline ? Makes their footswitches accessible over the ground control.

AlanRatcliffe

Great selection of pedals there Danny! Just the Timeline and H9 together is a pretty powerful combination. I have to ask - do you do a lot of ambient/pad stuff?

Danny B wrote I also now have a midi splitter underneath my board, 1 in 3 out. Super useful.

What make/model are you using? I've been thinking I need to add one in to reduce the delay introduced by daisy chaining from thru ports.

Norman86

Danny, great board ?
what is your signal chain though?
Cheers!

Danny-B

Alan, I'm using a Molten Voltage MIDI splitty. It works fantastically. It's a bit more pricey than the MIDI solutions quadra thru, but I ordered the midi splitty with the HOG2 from Prymaxe. It really does make everything faster - I was chaining 7 devices together.

Norm, signal chain goes like this:

Compressor (always on) => HOG2 (turned on/off via midi) => Voodoo Labs Pedal switcher (Whammy, Musket, Fix'd Fuzz, Timmy) => H9 => Timeline. H9 and Timeline are in stereo.
