Yes, I needed an excuse to post mine now it's finished :) It's been a while since we had one of these, plus everyones' been buying gear and Christmas has come and gone....

Here's my board - used at home and with my 80s rock band through my JTM45 and 4x12:

Here's mine.

It's actually in a bit of a state at the moment. The Analogman Bi-Comprossor and TC Vintage Delay are both currently on ebay (ending tomorrow). The delay is being replaced with a Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay, and I don't think I'm going to get another compressor for now.

Hi Dr.X

How does that 'Soundlab' 9v power supply perform ? Does it supply a nice 'quiet' supply to your pedals ?
I saw them on the Maplin site and wondered abut them. They seem good value for what they do.

F.F.

Hi!

It works very well and is really quiet, except if I use it on the boss loop station when it hums a bit. I have no idea why this is as it's great with my other pedals.

I got mine off ebay last year and had to return the first one I was sent because it didn't work at all. The replacements been great though, excellent value for money.

I also have one, was great with Jim Dunlop + MXR, but the Boss units seemed noisy, particularly the reverb, Not enough to make me stop using them, probably just the mix of the unit itself being noisy, and the PSU.

Now I only use overdrive anyway though..

Oo Goody, I love pedalboards !! Unfortunately the size of mine is inversely proportional to the size of my talent :(
please note the scruffy looking power supplies actually work very well !

If I had to choose the most important pedals to me on the board, they would easily be the DD-20 and the Blue Boy Deluxe.

The three truebypass switching pedals are excellent and turn my pedalboard from mediocre to outstanding. The AB box keeps the Behringer tuner out of the signal pathway. The red looper pedal has the BBD in one loop and the crunchbox and the fuzz in another, so I can stomp between them with one stomp. the Tone Press is before both loops, and the Clean boost is after both loops.
the final switching pedal is the ABY box after the DD-20 which directs the signal to the two different channels of my AC30. these switching pedals are cheap but, if carefully chosen, can work wonders !

i sort of feel i should have a pedal board... although i'd only put 2 or 3 pedals on it, plus a PSU... wondering if its really worth it.

lol ;) no i don't - playing takes up all my attention!

depending on the gig - i bring a tuner, some sort of distortion/booster, and occasionally a compressor. i have a strict no digital policy too.

WezV · « **Reply #11 on:** February 01, 2008, 05:30:29 PM »

well mine aint a board yet but i am working on getting the collection up to size first.

Here is the main guts of it so far

Not much yet i know but tehre are a couple of others not here at the moment.

Danelectro Daddy O - overdrive
BYOC large beaver - Big muff clone
BYOC Tri booster
Carlsboro Flanger

i also have a BYOC phase 90/45 and a modded crybaby to go in it - just need to replace the circuit board on the crybaby after 1 to many experiments

yeah, so a few gain based pedals but thats really the best way to get the most out of my little rock. maybe only two will make it onto the board

I have a danelctro cool cat chorus to match the daddy O coming as well

Just after a compresser, Delay and tremelo and maybe a few oddballs to make it worthy of making into a pedal board.. and i need to add an adapter jack to the carlsboro

but the project is underway!!

I don't have one either. I will though, I just need to buy about 5 pedals, a power supply, and the board/case thing. :P

As of now, the only pedal I use is my T-Rex Alberta. And I never turn it off, even for cleans. I've got a bunch I need to sell though.

Ted · « **Reply #13 on:** February 01, 2008, 05:59:56 PM »

As I don't gig I don't need one. Although when jamming before, I've always got away with a tuner fuzz, trem and delay.

Brow · « **Reply #14 on:** February 01, 2008, 06:08:48 PM »

I have 3 different pedalboards which I use depending on what I'm doing:

This is my main pedalboard for when I'm using either my Orange or Carlsbro amp heads. I set the heads clean/crunchy and get all my other sounds from the pedals.

This is a small board I've put together for me to use when I'm just jamming along at home, or if I have a jam with a friend etc.

This is is the board I use when I'm using my rack. The rack setup is still a work in progress, but I'm slowing getting my head around all the MIDI stuff etc :)

The top 2 photos are a little out of date as I no longer have the HBE Uno Mos, MXR Phase 90 or the Roger Mayer Voodoo Axe on the main board, nor the BOSS EQ on the small board. The Uno Mos and Fuzz have been replaced with a MI Audio Buff N' Boost (great sounding Boost and Buffer) and the MXR Phase 90 has been replaced with a HBE Psilocybe Phase Shifter.. The EQ on the small board has been replaced with the HBE Uno Mos from the main board :)
