I think my pedal board is missing something

A Commando pedal! ;)

Go on then, I'll post the current stock ;)

I don't have a problem... really...

UPDATED and clickable!

I'd love to hear them all turned on at the same time  8)

I think my pedal board is missing something

A board? (not counting floorboards!)

With regard to my own pedalboard, that is still a work in progress.  I have been moving things around constantly and trying to work out where four pedals that are in the mail from ebay sellers will fit.  At the moment I don't even have all of my pedals hooked up as one needs fixing (the MXR 6-band EQ), one is superfluous (the EHX Metal Muff), and one needs a longer patch cable (the Maxon OD-9).  The board below is (I think!) basically how it will look in the end though, except for the MM (which will not be on there) and the 6-band will probably be somewhere slightly different but on the same end of the board.  I have put the 'always on' pedals at the back of the board as much as possible, together with the tuner (which is not used when playing, obviously).



The pedals to come are an MXR Black Label Chorus, an MXR EVH Phase 90 phaser, an MXR Carbon Copy delay, and an MXR Custom Comp compressor.

The pedal order as I have it in part at the moment and as it will be be when I get the new pedals is:

Guitar>TC ELectronics Polytune>ISP Decimator G-String II>MXR CAE Boost/Linedriver>EVH Phase 90>Dunlop Crybaby From Hell>MXR Custom Comp>Maxon OD-9>MXR 6-band EQ>Peavey 6534+>MXR 10-band EQ>ISP Decimator G-String II>MXR Black Label Chorus>MXR Carbon Copy.

Of course the order of these might change as I experiment.  The CAE pedal is being used as a linedriver at unity output.  I plan to put the Custom Comp near the wah (those straight-ended cables will be changed for angled ones) and the 6-band EQ will go on the same row as the OD-9.  The phaser will sit where the EQ is now with the chorus and delay next to it or just above it if I run out of room.There will still be an empty space somewhere on the upper left corner.  If I eventually get tired enough of stepping on my cable and nearly pulling the jack out of my guitar (or other people standing on it) I might try to squeeze a Line 6 G30 relay on there somewhere.  I wonder if they can be fitted underneath on the opposite side from the power supply?

So, my pedalboard is now complete!

The only thing I might swap out is the Maxon OD-9.  I find the switch hard to engage on the fly.  Even though it is not turned off much - only when playing clean passages - I'd rather have something with a more positive feeling switch.  I'm going to try an MXR Custom Badass Modified O.D. in its place.  That also has a couple more EQ options, like a 100Hz knob and a mid 'bump' switch.



Signal chain order:

Front end:
Dunlop Crybaby From Hell wah -> TC Electronics Polytune -> ISP Decimator G-String II -> MXR CAE Boost/ Linedriver -> Maxon OD-9 -> MXR EVH Phaser -> MXR Custom Comp

Effects loop:
MXR 10-band EQ -> ISP Decimator G-String II -> MXR EVH Flanger -> MXR Black Label Chorus -> MXR Carbon Copy

Here's my pedalboard for my most recent project ("avant garde" post-hardcore). It's simple, but between the Flashback x4 and the 2880 I can get a lot of work done sonically.

The OD11 is a solid little stomp box for base overdrive, and that Double Muff is modified to sound a little fuller harmonically (similar to JHS' mod.) Despite what people say, the 2880 can be great for live looping if you like dynamics and building up musical intensity/aggression slowly.

Can't really decide which overdrive to use, but I keep coming back to the T-Rex MAB.
Other than that, quite happy with it the collection now.

First gig with my new board tonight. Still need to tweak my knobs over the next few gigs on the Context, and flanger, as they are shiny and new.
Evidence cabling throughout was the biggest revelation so far. Wow, even my cloth eared band mates thought the guitar sounded better.

[Dave Sloven]

I've changed all of my cables from/to the pedals to/from the amp to angled on the pedalboard end, after I stepped on the straight connector coming out of my compressor a week ago at band practice in a crowded living room.  It just pulled the cable out - I thought I was lucky to not damage the jack in my $140 Custom Comp, so went out and bought another cable. The only straight connector I have going into the board at the moment is the cable from my guitar to the wah, but that seems fairly safe and with one straight and one angled on each cable I'd rather have the angled on on top of my SG

Revamped with my Christmas additions - EHX Memory Boy and Juan Solo Klone.

Way simpler than it was mainly because the Klone does so much now...  treble boost, TS, crunch (with the OD channel on my Eganter).

Might ditch the Moon Phaser too as I'm  hardly using it....

My current setup - sometimes the Spitfire fuzz changes out for a Lovetone Les Lius.

Updated pedal board. I ditched an overdrive, the Tone Job tightens everything up in a very natural and subtle way.

Since I haven't been able to find a new switch for my Dunlop Wah, I'm using the GL wah now until I find one.

[Dave Sloven]

Don't know why, but the dog seems to like sleeping on my guitar cables.  Maybe he can smell my hands on the cables?  Who knows what dogs can smell!  Anyway it seems uncomfortable.

You can see my Pedaltrain 2 in this pic as well :lol:
