So I Decided to Build a Pedal (Collection) Board...

[RobV]

I may not use all the pedals?



Right! If I'm after Gilmour some of these may not be useful???

Then skip that one and go to the next

If you're after Gilmour, one of these might be useful.

 

[Sp8ctre]

I had one of these and sold it. I think it was too much in one pedal or something??? I didn't bond with it.

Now this looks very intriguing! A little pricey, but Gilmour has one on his board as does John Mayer...tempting!

Nice, I wouldn't mind giving 1 a try.

I like to keep it simple... what a concept, eh?

There's also a book by Dave Hunter, about effects.

https://www.amazon.com/Guitar-Effects-Pedals-Practical-Handbook/dp/1617131016

I read this, and learned a lot. For those of us who are bookishly inclined. Not everybody is.
But it's easy to go back and read it again, even if the internet's down.

And yes, making a pedal board is like sticking your head down the rabbit hole.
The next thing you know, you're a stranger in a strange land.

Last three pedals on order. I'm going to start playing through the ones I have one at a time while I wait for these...

what the crap-----
how many "floors" will this board be?????

 

[eSGEe]

after the Paul Gilbert video I posted I really want a FOOLS report on the MOJOMOJO man

 

[RobV]

Nice my Gravy has a vibrato built in, don't really use it much.

 

[eSGEe]

my gravy has sausage and goes over biscuits--- but to each their own

I may have 12 or 14 pedals, but only 8 or so will end up on the board. Some will be swapped in and out and some will move along.

The BOSS DS-1 may be the first to go because I'm not big on distortion in my playing...

I also believe the MojoMojo may be close to the Soul Food? So one of those may be enough.

The Reagan Fuzz is going to end up as a display unit for the graphics alone. I don't like Fuzz...

The Micro Vibe is a Rotary Speaker deal and I think I'm going to LOVE it! HOPE!

Joyo American sound may also be a pass around?

 

[eSGEe]

I am trying to embrace fuzz but agree-- to date -- not my bag

The board is coming...I Promise!

The board is coming...I Promise!

I had zero pedals a couple of weeks ago, picked up a looper with a little drum machine, and got three more pedals yesterday. I'm considering another one or two and these:


(The Rockboard, not the pedals - it's cheap and easy for a little board.)



I reckon I'll have it up and running, maybe 5 pedals (or 6?) by next week, so I'll be beating you timewise if you don't get going...

 

[Tony M.]

I got an EQD avalanche run the week they came out. (I preordered it.)
It sounded gorgeous but had way too many features I was never gonna use.
I resold it and bought a Source Audio Nemeses which did even more stuff...

Little boards are nice and can cover most of what I do live.
I can't see carrying a pedal that I will only use for half of a verse in 1 song.

Tuner...dirt...modulation...delay/reverb.
(One board also has a mini wah on it.)
Does one really need more than that?

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Tuner...dirt...modulation...delay/reverb.

I kinda went for similar (the amp has a boast pedal built in), so I got a classic OD, a fuzz/distortion, a delay/reverb and a reverb/modulation pedal to go with my looper. They'll be room on the board for a small tuner too, so I'm done. I also tried to keep the pedals quite(ish) simple to use.

Spectre does have a lot of very nice pedals, but we're all different, and the Wampler Echo and Keeler Compresser are probably the only ones on his list I would have considered. But, I bet he can get some great sounds from the pedals he has whereas my tones will probably end up terrible...

Those Source Audio pedals are really nice! They have a lot of tweak-able features...maybe too many???
