Pedalboard Madness

2 boards; one with all the favorites on and one with everything else.

Get rid of the push-fits and solder all the connector leads, get the best psu you can afford.

Then look again at both boards and redo so the go-to one has ONLY what you need.

Of course, being a Jazz & Blues guy, I would say put the lot on Craig's List and buy yourself a high quality guitar cord. The improvement to your sound would be monumental.

 

A few years ago I finally consigned all my 70's pedals to a vintage guitar shop. I was amazed at what people would pay for "vintage" pedals.

 

I did keep my old Thomas Organ Company Cry Baby. I couldn't part with that one.

What's that live at leeds pedal?

 

That's the first pedal I ever built. It's a BYOC Leeds Fuzz kit. I decided to make it a tribute to the Live at Leeds album so I painted it brown and used the graphic from the album cover. Sounds pretty good - though I haven't had the pleasure of trying to through a cranked Hiwatt stack. [biggrin]

Or break it up into multiple smaller boards ;) Theme boards.

Yeah I have two Pedaltrain board and big one and a little one, but I kinda outgrew the little one - or I will tomorrow when the Electro Harmonix B9 shows up. So I figured I'd swap them and gig the larger one (even though I prefer traveling light). Then I got frustrated and left it as in the pic - a big pile of pedals. I may try to tackle it again tomorrow... after I try out the B9

I've finally got my tiny little board where I want it.............

Sadly, I could downsize it to the tuner/spark boost/reverb/and channel switcher.......the chorus and delay don't get used much and when they do, very mild setting.....lol.

I finally did make some progress on it over the weekend. The volume pedal handles the organ out from the B9 so it can go to a different amp - or straight to the board. I can bring in as much or as little of the organ sound as I want that way. It also allows me to use the volume pedal for the lap steel if I want to.

So far this set up seems to do everything I need it to - and I even have room for the Strymon Deco I'm lusting after.
