The new "post your pedalboards" thread

[Ian Price]

That's a nice OCD there Huw.

[gwEm]

Most of them are different fuzzes haha.

Mine (Hell) has an RMC Wizard, a TU2, a phase, 90, a T Rex replica, a Keeley Compressor and a DAM Meathead. Paul's (Noise) has a korg tuner, some fuzz called a musket, a big muff, another two fuzzes I forget the names of and a EHX Cathedral.

what happens when you switch them all on at once?

[nfe]

Paul laughs and I put my fingers in my ears, mostly.

He turned up to rehearse having added a D*A*M Meathead (a cool green one, mine is just grey :() and some thing called a Wolf Computer which sounds like Microsoft's HQ exploding.

[HTH AMPS]

I'll have some nice pedalboard porn to post soon - got a Pedaltrain on the way, great deal on it too.

nice tuner!

[ToonLP]

nice tuner!

Ta............ best tuner on the market - small, accurate and easy to use. (Sonic Research Turbo Tuner in case anyone's wondering)

Another top tip for any OCD users out there........... feed it with 18 Volts. It is the most amazing and cheapest upgrade you will EVER make to a pedal board. Cost me £2.50 for the Y Lead and it's turned it into a fire-breathing Plexi MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!

Feed THAT with a BKP Mule-equipped Les Paul and you're sorted for life  :D

Hi,

Built my first pedal board at the weekend. All powered (minus the whammy) by an Voodoo Labs PP2. Secured the power to the underside of the board.

Really happy with it, was getting a slight hum which I couldn't pin down. Added a bypass loop for the whammy today and now when the Guv'nor, whammy, bypass pedal or the muff are engaged the hum is gone.

So I am currently leaving the bypass pedal engaged to eliminate the hum and using the whammy's on/off as usual.

I bought the bypass to eliminate the whammy's suck of tone but is proving better as a hum cancelling device. Any ideas on this anyone???

Chain is Vox Wah, Digitech Whammy, Dano vibe, Marshall Guv'nor, EH Big Muff, Flanger, EQ, EH Holy Grail Reverb.  Tuner comes off the second output on the Flanger.

[Keven]

pretty sure the whammy's Power supply is causing the hum. can you try running it on batteries to confirm?

i know the stock dunlop psu for wah's hums terribly compared to the visual sound adaptor or even a boss psa-120

[Doctor X]

I read somewhere that the pedal power 2 isn't suitable for the holy grail and produces a hum.  I think the holy grail has a higher current draw than the PP2 can provide or something.  Try taking it out of the chain and see if the hum's still there.

[Alex]

I don't know about the Holy Grail, but my Cathedral came with a power supply rated at 9,3 Volts or something like that, so maybe that is true. I still use it with the powerplant.

New setup on my pedalboard, it also sounds very good now, loss of sound due to cables is minimal now finally.



The Boss SD-1 is just a place holder - I don't need two overdrives. The thing is, I don't know what to replace it with.
Open for suggestions, tell me what you think I could use on my pedal board. What do you think is missing?
A chorus, tremolo, delay? EQ? I'd prefer something that works with clean and overdrive.

Im thinking about getting myself a Cathedral soon :)

Just bought a noise supressor today, so now im running... 2 pedals yay :D
808 tube screamer and the noise supressor :D

I must say, if I had to buy a Reverb again, I would rather go for the Hardwire Reverb. The Cathedral is good, but definitely is made for some more whacko EHX sounds rather than neutral & authentic reverbs.

[Madsakre]

i saw a band called liturgy where their singer used it for both vocals and guitar. they had such a cool sound. he really abused the infinite button a lot :D Amazing band

[Alex]

Interesting, I think I should play around with that feature a bit more.
I mostly only use the Accu Springs, Plate and Echo models, nothing too special or outlandish.
