Post pics pics of you pedalboards, guys!!
The wackier, the better!
Just like Leon Phelps' car, my pedal board doesn't exist. :D
However, I would love to see some pedal boards, including details about how people have constructed them - cool topic!
(http://farm1.static.flickr.com/47/133011834_512eec3d61.jpg)
This is my main central board. Underneath it, in the case, is my secondary board which has Line 6 Modulator and Delay with expression pedals. I change things up from time to time, especially depending on what songs I'm playing for a specific gig, but lately I've shoehorned a Nobels ODR-1, Marshall Edward Compressor and a modded Rat to the main board.
The whole mess in action

These is my pedal board. I am building a new small pedalboard with necessary effects. (phase 90 dr boogie or multiface crybaby pt80 ore rebote2.5)
So let's view

this is the wiring
(http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6/ilmiorigfotocomplty6.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
Sometimes I use a footswitch connected to ds-2 to choose turbo mode. The guitarman ovd/pre is just a dod250 with some simple mod. The black pedal on the extreme left is the amp's footswitch, but I used it only when i don't bring the entire pedalboard. On the amp I use a spring reverb after between the pre and the power section.
PS: excuse me for low resolutrion of the pic
I built one out of a bass guitar case: http://www.diyguitarist.com/DIYStompboxes/NewPedalBoard.htm

I did the same thing to my case. I think I got the idea from Pauls site. It was also the site that originally got me into this.
There's another thread on pedalboards here: http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=60011.0
I have recently teared my board apart to make something like Cliffs, but I think instead of using a massive piece of wood, I will drill a pattern of holes so wires can run underneath the board.
The mos cool pedalboards I have seen are Dano's (http://beavisaudio.com/Projects/boardpimp1/)

Check out this hinge:

2 1/4", looks pretty sturdy.
I'm probably going to buy these to replace the hinges on my pedalboard/case:

both pedal boards are same size and made for about £10 hopefully going to cover them in carpet and velcro the pedals etc but no case as I don't gig :icon_sad:
Going to build another board same footprint and height but triple layer to put my other home built pedals on and maybe a smaller main board with splitters a/b and di etc to feed the other three.

haha, I do noise from time to time, but mostly I orbit around ambient/electroacoustic/phychadelic
I've just finished to build the new supply cables, then this is my pedalboard 'updated'. I ran a test and it is super, every sound I need is there.

BTW, I noticed that if I engage the Compressor in to the Red Snapper (is similar to a boss SD-1) then in to the DS-1 (both with little distorsion) I obtain an interesting Fuzz Face-like tone, has anyone noticed it?

I have no idea where hazarai came from. :) the knob itself is used to switch through delay modes, and pushed to save a preset. nothing too special.
the two pedals under the mixer left to right. a bent DOD DFX94 in its new enclosure, and a mid-fi glitch computer. insanity!

"hazarai" is yiddish for, basically, "the works, all the bells and whistles etc.". that's how they explained it on a demo vid i saw.

This is the current line-up of pedals I made:
(http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o71/mattpas/DSC02315.jpg)
Red - BSIAB II
Blue - Marshall Bluesbreaker
Apple Green - TS-808 with diode toggle switch
Orange - Phase 45
Dark Green - Big Muff Pi Russian Version
White - Big Muff Pi Triangle Version
Silver - Fuzz Face (Germanium Transistors)
Burgandy - Tremolo
I am currently working on two different overdrives and three different versions of the MXR Distortion+
here is mine, not finished yet (reason of the side-view ;))

the first half of it, the grey pedal (red llama) is actually on the other side now and a LPB took its place.

That definition is a bit off, even though I realize it's what Mike Matthews said.
In Yiddish, a "chazer" (or "hah-zrr" if you can't pronounce the "ch") is a pig. Hazerai or Chazerai, is all the stuff you'd haphazardly throw together to feed a pig, and has come to be used in several ways. One is that it is cheap crap, as in "I bought one of those lawn furniture sets they had on sale the other day. Complete and utter hazerai!". Another use, which is not quite as dismissive, is to refer to a big pile of undifferentiated stuff, as in "She opens up her purse and turns it over, and this tsunami of chazerai comes tumbling out". My sense is that the term was used for the Stereo Memory Man to essentially refer, tongue-in-cheek, to a whole bunch of settings, modes, and "stuff" that is all packed away under that one switch/knob, not unlike the junk drawer you may have in your desk or the kitchen drawer that has odd cutlery, phone bills, string and elastics, and pencils with no eraser. You know, chazerai. :icon_wink:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/petemoore/MKIIPedalboard003.jpg
There is was, the frame and a few boxes that are shown are still on there.
I like the two-tier 'step' frame, and the ease with which I can reach the pedals...notice the PP2 supply.
I have another one a lot like this one...which has the Spyder in the center/back/ lower portion.
I find that a 1/2 x 3'' board [fairly hardwood] makes for easily screw mounting 4 screw type box bottoms, raco boxes...most anything else...the wah...I spaced the front and back boards [which go from Left to right] a little less deep than the wah so the wah could be mounted securely..metal plates span past the mount board by a bit, this lets me use the original wah foot-screws [without the rubber feet] and get good amount of thread turns into the wah case.
sorry O.T

I love your sense of design! That Kiwi one is off the hook. I wonder if you can get brown astro turf for the skin?
i already posted this in OT but it would have been better in this section....
i'm almost finished with my "lightweight/travel/low-energy/compact/can find power anywhere/but without compromise on the tone" pedalboard
it's a DT-10 ---) double fixed JEN wah ---) highly modded Hotcook ---) Rebote 2.5 ---) amp
the only gas guzzler in here is the DT-10 wich i wanted to mod to true bypass including a power off switching but in buffer mode it sucks less than 10 mA so i can live with it and a buffer is always good, all LEDs are hi-brite with a 20k to save battery power
i also added a 5k pot to my rebote 2.5 to fine tune the endless repeats so they don't go out of control (a fixed resistor works only on one delay setting, if you go for a slapback setting the oscillations end up sounding like your speaker is ripping out so i made it adjustable)
(http://www.frigidworld.com/rich/1.jpg)
the mini-switch is actually the true-bypass of the effect but since it's always on, the switch is there i case of a live IC failiure, the 3PDT switches between two drive pots, one set for cleanish boost, the lower one (which lights the LED) for all out distortion (which is good thanks to lowering C3 to 2.2, C1 to 0.0039uF and C7 to 0.022uF ) chip was changed to 5534 without a noticeable increase in current draw (there's a spare IC under the black tape, left of the 3PDT)
(http://www.frigidworld.com/rich/2.jpg)
The wah is a JEN wah with two lin pots, one set on a low growl and one on a higher sound, left switch chooses between pots, the right is the bypass, lights go off when the unit is bypassed
(http://www.frigidworld.com/rich/3.jpg)
(http://www.frigidworld.com/rich/4.jpg)
i found these at the electronics supply store, you can put 6 C cells or 6 AA cells in the smaller one, for 9V (not shown, i also have a 4 X 9V battery holder) with these low powered effects i should get a lot of mileage out of these...lol and they connect through a 9V snap
(http://www.frigidworld.com/rich/5.jpg)
a typical Energizer 9V gives 625 mA/hours (which means if the pedalboard draws 30mA (a rough estimate i made for my pedalboard, i can't measure it now my DMM is only 10A), 625 / 30 = 20 hours ...! of course the pedals will stop working at around 5-6V so it wouldn't last 20 hours, but with a couple in parallel it should run for a while)
a single AA gives 2850 mA/hours
and a C gives a whooping 8350 mA/hours !!

Whats the second pedal from the left, bottom row?
this is my main pedalboard:
(http://i31.tinypic.com/21kkw75.jpg)
top left there's a tremulus lune, top middle DIY-box there's usually a "secondary fuzz" pedal (which can be a opamp big muff, a foxx tone machine or zvex fuzzes clones or whatever, just depending on the mood) , the sunny stompbox at the bottom is my might DIY big Muff (a mix of triangle and ram's head muff)
whammy > micro pog > korg tuner > "secondary fuzz" > Big Muff > small stone > tremulus lune > Deluxe Memory man > Vox Wahwah (modded)
and here some more stuff:

I don't know about astro turf, that would be super cool... I used acrilic paint on mine, giving some kind of orange/kiwi-skin look by patting the brush on the surface

Interesting write up about building a custom PB.
http://www.herby.kielce.pl/~piter/hexenew2/ie.php?c=fbd2_e&l=custom_e
I think I've seen this fellows work in the Pictures thread.
I know this thread is old but I like looking at others PBs, so here's pretty much what I've been playing. I've already subbed out the CS-3 for a DIY LPB. Added an LED to the true bypass loop. Most every pedal there but the Boss Twins has been heavily modified. ;D
Oh yeah and the tap tempo is being replaced this weekend with a tiny one.

It's the Bespeco switch on the left next to the Boss DD-20. ;D

That looks really nice. My only comment is it seems like you would have to step gingerly to turn on that Phase 90. :icon_wink:
I think my feet are just clumsy. I have 2 rows and my "2nd tier" stuff doesn't get switched on/off a lot. I moved stuff like my roto machine down to the first tier because I kept knocking the knobs out of wack on other pedals trying to reach it. :icon_wink:
BTW, how do you like your roto-machine?
Quoteit seems like you would have to step gingerly to turn on that Phase 90.
Surprisingly it has been fine, but it doesn't matter now anyway because I yanked that DOD FX50 pedal last night. That thing does not play nice with other pedals. I suspect the input impedence is the problem there. I did build the smaller tap tempo switch so now my DynaComp is straight up rather than sideways. The CS-3 has been replaced with my DIY LPB. :)
I'm running out of patience with the Roto-Machine. Why does Line6 never take the time to refine their products? It can acheive great sounds, but if I turn on the compressor or tube screamer or swap guitars I have to re-tweak everything on it. It should have a freaking volume knob for crying out loud. I've been thinking about building a tiny TB loop with a passive volume control on it becuase it's often way above unity gain, but dangit the Line6 engineers should be thinking of this crap, not me. Also I've had this and the Echo Park and I just have to say those Tone Core docks suck. I don't like tapping the same pedal to kill the effect or set the time. It's too touchy. Typical Line6.

Here's mine. Top right corner is for an EQ pedal I still have yet to get, and to the left of the tuner is a space for a Flanger and/or phaser I still have yet to buy.

cloudscapes: killer setup man. And can I add: I miss my iRiver. The iPod just ain't the same. I used that iRiver for *everything* when I had it: listening to tunes, recording rehearsals -- sad day when it died. Are you running the Rockbox OS on it? I had a lot of fun hacking that.
Back to boards....
Here's what I *was* running:

The white paper spots got filled in with an EHX Holier Grail, an empress tremolo -- the Carbon Copy is still on order actually.
But in raising funds for AxeFx I purged. A lot. And now I'm down to:
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/sniff.scratch/SI6AwwdQQ-I/AAAAAAAABmY/sXrfN6-53jQ/s288/IMG_4121.JPG) (http://picasaweb.google.com/sniff.scratch/MyGuitarGear/photo#5228257792553403362)
I've got an AMZ MOSFET booster, AMZ Ge buffer and a Bosstone that are semi-finished that'll get worked in to the whole thing some how. But that's it now. The AxeFx should cover the modulation stuff. I'll keep the fuzz and stuff out in front of it 'cause it's supposed to take pedals well. All that remains is to sell the Koch. Crazy.
This is mine. I had a huge sized pedalboard until 2 weeks ago. This is great if you don't gig much, but my back started to complain, so...........
I bought a medium sized pedalboard case which also acts as a self-limiter :icon_mrgreen:. Can't use many pedals, so that's good.
As for the pedals, modded CS3 with the usual mods, Direct Drive, Dr. Boogey, AMZ mosfet booster (soon to be replaced by an eq pedal for more flexibility), volume, DC2 and DD7.
BTW the FV50 sucks tone ONLY if you use the tuner out (biggest case of tone suckage I've ever experienced :icon_eek:), otherwise it works good
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v682/Catacrunch/P1010007-1.jpg)
I just ripped the 'junk' out of mine.
It had recieved sidways-rain water damage.
Onlything I built that died was a DIST+, in a DOD box with no battery cover = rain door open.
Two factory pedals went down enough to have to pull them...
and I found a hideous 6'' patch cable that was a major tonesucker without something driving it [I guess it just went bad or I had something driving it all the time].
Strong bypass signal once again, looper box makes [final] testing that quite easy...ferreting out the tonesuckers took about 20 minutes [seemed like an hour] of playing 'operator' [one ringy dingy]...pulling cables and cabling around...my boxes are not easy to unplug because of their proximity to other boxes.
I put the ~Rosscomp and Wah before the looper, so I can have comp, then add whatever I want for dist/Fuzz/preboost/w/boost...on one switch... I'm liking this pedal order.

Nice! How do you like your Dimension C?
I've got the Behringer clone (CC300) on backorder.
Cloudscapes, i LOVE that you have the Chuck Taylors as part of your pedalboard setup, LOL. Reminds me of a friend's VW Rabbit--that thing had such a stiff clutch that it hurt his left foot through ordinary shoes, so he kept a single left workboot in the car permanently and never started the car without changing into it.

I know this thread is old but I like looking at others PBs, so here's pretty much what I've been playing. I've already subbed out the CS-3 for a DIY LPB. Added an LED to the true bypass loop. Most every pedal there but the Boss Twins has been heavily modified. ;D
Oh yeah and the tap tempo is being replaced this weekend with a tiny one.

Cool board! I noticed that your Dyna Comp has a green LED and different knobs. Is it internally modded too? I'm thinking of doing some tweaks on mine...

Hey Moritz! I work with guy that's the worlds biggest Ohio State fan and he named his 130 pound Bernese Mountain Dog Moritz... anyway...
The Dyna Comp has my own mods in it (and the LED's blue.) I had to use different knobs on it because the shaft of the reverse taper pot I put in on the Sustain side was slightly larger, thereby requiring knobs that fit! Kind a pain honestly to have had to do it. Some guys recommended I do the reverse taper but I'm not crazy about it.
Here's my current pedalboard.
Guitar-->tuner-->Ross Comp clone(swirl)-->Boss OC-2-->BSIAB(modded to have low gain)-->Zendrive clone-->Cruchbox clone-->Fet booster-->Tonepad CE2-->DOD DFX94-->Amp

I'll answer that. It's a Korg Pitch Black tuner!
B of H- What kind/type of orange paint was it that you used for the dual loop*(diy)?
Pott that's a very cool collection. Can you tell me more about those subdecay pedals? Looks like that setup has just about any flavor of distortion handy. ;D I don't think I've seen that Seymour Duncan pedal before. Man where have I been???

Here's mine. The only non home-made ones now are the Boss tuner and the Option 5 Destination Rotation Single.
The little box in the top l/h corner is 9v distribution with on/off and a bit of filtering (supplied from a separate 9v 1.5A PSU I keep out of the way behind my amp)
The chain is TU-2>DynaComp/Janglebox>Uni-Vibe clone (re-housed/true-bypassed Dano Chicken Salad)>Tubescreamer/Lovepedal Eternity>Big Muff Pi >EA Tremolo>Option5>Rebote 2.5 Delay (with dual controls for a switchable slow and fast delay)

What is in your "janglebox" circuit?
Quote from: DougH on August 05, 2008, 07:08:04 AM
Wow, beautiful work!
What is in your "janglebox" circuit?
Thanks!
I got this mod from the site that isn't mentioned here.
The Janglebox is just a tweaked DynaComp - in a DynaComp the circuit adds hi frequency pre-emphasis before the CA3080 and de-emphasis after it as a way of minimising the noise inherent in the way this circuit works. To get the hi-frequency 'jangle' don't filter out the pre-emphasis after the op-amp.
Find the 150k resistor at the output of the CA 3080 and remove the capacitor which is connected in parallel (typically 1nF) to this resistor and bingo - instant jangle.
I've made that cap switchable on my pedal so I've got a standard DynaComp with it in the circuit and the bright setting of the Janglebox with it switched out.
My thanks go to Analogguru for this mod (and for all the other stuff he shares with us mere mortals).
edit: 'just a tweaked DynaComp' is a bit harsh - perhaps I should have said 'a novel take on CA3080-based compressor circuits'....

Yep that was my goal. I don't like most modulation so what else could I put on there eh :icon_lol:
The Stupid Box is meant to be played loud mostly. It's a medium to high gain OD with loads of knobs. Inside you get pre bass, pre treble, bass, midrange, and a smooth/crunch switch.
The MI Audio is in the same range but smoother and more plug and play. Both sound different though so I can keep them hehehe
The Blackstar is a distortion pedal with a fuzzy edge. It's not for everyone... I don't use it very often I gotta say. The sounclips on the website make it have a very modern metal sound, but I can't achieve that with my rig, there's always this fuzzy thing about it I can't get rid of. Keeping the tone knob down helps though. Can't wait to try it with my bigger Laney AOR though!
That black pedal is a Korg Pitchblack tuner as has been said, the other big black pedal is a Carl Martin Hot Drive and Boost prototype that I further modified with assymetrical clipping, LED + 1N4001, and the other side has a 1N34. Was fun trying to find the right sound for it but I finally got it! Wonderful overdrive, very dyamic, very rich, cleans up beautifully. The buffer is out of this world too! It's saving my clean sound's ass right now :D
And yeah Seymour makes loads of pedal... they have a clean boost-ish (pickup booster) , a fuzz (tweak fuzz), an overdrive (lava box), a distortion (power grid), a Tremolo (shape shifter), a tube OD, a tube metal distortion and a bass DI box. The powergrid just came out basically.
Here's mine. Pic from last year.

Thanks John.
For the graphics on my pedals I use sticky Photopaper with 3 or 4 layers of clearcoat.
I'm a bit sorry I didn't take any pictures during construction of my pedalboard.
Would have been a nice photo essay of the building process.
I used 9mm plywood and glued all parts together except for the top panel.
As you can see this panel has screws to be able to get to the built in powersupply.
All parts are bought in a hardware store. It took some time to find those hinges that can be separated.
The powersupply is 9V 1A. The transformer was salvaged from a 15V AC wallwart.

Here's my current setup. Other than the tuner, chorus, and DI, everything was made by me including the two power supplies. (Come to think of it, I did mod the chorus as well).

Craig, that is a great looking board...but UT stinks!! Just kidding! I'm a Razorback and was at the game last week. I had to walk by all the tailgaters as they cursed at my wife and I, called us names, flipped us off...well you get the picture. I won't ever make the mistake of going to a game in TX again.
I am also trying to build everything on my board. So far: pwr sup, rat, dod 250, 2 delays, & strat-o-blaster boost. I'm building a rust driver this week. Good work!

I was at the game as well...sorry you had such a bad experience. Unfortunately, all fan bases have their share of a**holes and I'm sorry you had to encounter a few of ours. Please don't let the actions of a few drunk idiots color your impression of us as a whole. Wish you'd have come by our tailgate party...we always try to make the opposing fans feel at home (even our rivals) by offering free beer and food.
Thanks for the nice comments about my setup. My next build is going to be a chorus so that everything on the board (sans tuner) is DIY.

From right to left:
- Dyna/Ross compressor with attack mod and built in switchable Bipolar buffer (you can see its level-switch in the two other pictures, in the right side)
- Phase 90 (with the 22k resistor in, for who is interested)
- Crybaby GCB-95 Wah with true-bypass mod (no buffer) and Yellow Fasel inductor
- AC-2 Acoustic Simulator
- BSIAB2 with 1uF C8 mod and level-switchable tuner-out to a Korg tuner
- TS-9 Tubescreamer with asymmetrical clipping, 0,1u input cap and "flat mids" switch
- CE-2 chorus
- Marshall Shredmaster (actually Hyde side of the Jekyll&Hyde pedal)
- 2in1 pedal with a re-housed Danelectro PB&J delay, with improved input and output buffers, and LPB2 booster
That tiny box above the wah is obviously a balanced 9v power supply.

What did you use for the loop side velcro (the surface of the board)?
It's just felt from the fabric store. I took some of the hook side velcro I was already using on the pedals with me to test the grabbiness of different felts and found one that stuck well without getting too fuzzy when I removed the velcro. The felt is then just stuck to the top board with contact cement. It works pretty well. You can wiggle a couple of the pedals a little bit but none of them fall off even if you tip the board upside down. I regularly carry it under one arm vertically with my guitar in the other hand.

Here is mine. I keep it simple.
Pedalboard is made out of a metal CD holder. I cut the metal to size and attached black plastic at both ends. The case is (was) a toolbox. I altered the hinges so I can remove the top of the case before playing. The metal board is raised from the bottom of the box with two metal strips running alongside. I also glued a small woodblock underneath the metal board and directly to the case so the board doesn't move back and forth while stepping on the pedals. It can still be taken out if something needs repair though. The black material at the bottom is some really tough but flexible PVC.

Some nice pedals there for sure.. 8)

I had a few homebrew pedals kicking around and came up with this as a means of keeping them together and free from batteries. The psu is under the raised part.
The chorus/delay are separately wired to two of the jacks for connection to the amp's fx insert loop, but when the fx loop jacks aren't in use, they appear as part of the normal fx chain - clever eh? ;)

Nice looking work. Hoewever, I would recommend moving things around to keep your wah as far as possible from AC and transformers. Wahs are hum magnets, and a power strip and wall wart a few inches away will likely translate to a lot of it.

Well...it's not "populated", but it is a pedalboard. A friend of mine helped me build it years ago when I was using a two amp rig at the time. I wanted a pedal board with enough space to arrange things as I was using a lot of pedals then. We used 3/4 in. plywood for the sides and 1/4 in. plywood for the top and bottom. The carpet was from Pep Boys and we gutted an old Grundorf case for the corners, handle, latches, etc. The power strip came from an old networking rack that we had to shorten to fit inside. One neat thing was that we angled the side pieces of 3/4 plywood so that you could put the top underneath the bottom and it angled the whole board towards you for better reach/visibility. It's a great board, but it is a beast to carry around and there isn't much room on the stages I play on nowadays. Currently I use a Furman SPB-8C board and about 9 pedals:
homegrown pedals:
a/b switcher for Korg tuner
modded TS808
Q&D compressor
bought pedals:
Morely Bad Horsie Wah
Boss SD1 Super Overdrive
MXR Phase 90 reissue
TC Electronics SCF
Eventide TimeFactor delay pedal
rewired Boss volume pedal as an expression pedal for the TF.

Elshiftos, that board looks great, exactly the kind of thing i'm after.
What PSU did you use? Did you build it yourself?
Also how did you get it so that the pedals that are in the FX loop appear in the normal chain if the FX loop is not connected?

Jizuz!
How many pedals you got there?
Do you gig with all those?
Last count I was at 40, I think.
I only gig/play with four or so strung up at a time. Wouldn't make sense to connect them all, plus I cant afford all the cables :icon_biggrin:
Oh yeah, I didn't notice most of them were disconnected :icon_redface:
Uh, sorry, Chris, but wouldn't that disqualify the submission? I mean, does sticking a bunch of pedals on a board a pedalboard make? Judges? :icon_wink:

I had to giggle at that statement. I don't think I've met anyone who
can afford 40 pedals, but
cannot afford cables for more than 4 at a time. ;D :icon_lol:
No harm intended of course Chris. It's just kinda funny.

Hey, happens all the time: who hasn't gone to the fancy restaurant, then found themselves without enough for the cab home, or bought and SUV, and then couldn't afford the gas, or sold a house because of property taxes and heating bills, and the list goes on. We often think we can swing something, only to find that the little stuff just kills you.
Especially if you have GAS. :)
New technology...
Invisible cables... (they still have mojo)
You guys are all suckas with your old school cables.

Question: General rule of thumb is that having more than 6 pedals on your board will suck tone. Is this assuming the pedals are not true-bypass, or what? I'm quickly approaching having 9 or so pedals on my board, and I've been thinking about this as I check out these pictures.

Having that many pedals on your board will suck tone if they ARE true bypass. Make an AMZ Super Buffer (http://www.muzique.com/lab/superbuff.htm (http://www.muzique.com/lab/superbuff.htm)), or any of Jack's other buffer projects (http://www.muzique.com/lab/buffers.htm (http://www.muzique.com/lab/buffers.htm)) and you'll be fine...
Andy
I think Andy's statement is predicated on the assumption that "sucking tone" refers to the effect of capacitance over the entire distance the unbuffered signal must travel, including cable, hardware, etc.--from that perspective, a long chain of truely bypassed pedals will have more tone-sucking effect than buffered ones. But that isn't the only hazard your signal runs on its way from guitar to amp. The magic number "6" may refer to where most people can start to hear negative effects from all those buffers, typically two per pedal, all uselessly buffering away even when all the FX are off, and all adding small amounts of distortion and noise that cumulatively cause a dulling of the sound. Those buffers can be a good thing when there are one or a few pedals, but eventually they become a problem, and 6 is often mentioned as a sort of assumed tipping point, although that probably has a lot to do with the quality of the buffers and what your ears are expecting to or can hear.
Of course the worst case is unbuffered non-true-bypass pedals, the kind that just switch the output jack from the effect out to the input but leave the effect input connected, that add (or should I say subrtract) nasty loading effects to your signal.

The psu is a basic homebuild, 9v regulator design, using a low profile transformer.
The fx loop pedals (delay, chorus) are on their own send/return jacks on the back panel. The output of the 'pre' amplifier fx (wah, dist, od...) also appear on a back panel jack. I connected the break contacts on the 'pre' fx jack to the break contacts on the fx loop input jack and used the fx loop output jack to go to the input of the amplifier. I used the plastic jacks that have terminals on either side, two of which perform a break action when a jack is inserted.
A diagram might explain better, but I'm not near suitable software - you work it out! ;-)
I used to have about 14 pedals on my board, but would generally use about 3 max at a time. Like Chris, I couldn't afford all that cable.

a healthy board is a mixture of both true bypass and buffered pedals (assuming the buffer isn't too bad). this is especially true in large boards.

;D :D :icon_mrgreen:
Chris you really made my day.
Do you have a project for a circular pedalboard ?
Haha not yet, I should :D
The latest array on the 1 step PB has 3 tubes:
A V-38 based on the Valvecaster, another super-nice OD IME.
And a Blackfinger Compressor, 2 tubes w/300V plate function, and a couple of different lamps !
Also new is my first Gus's Overdrive !
Thanks to Gus and myself, finally getting this OD built, the guitar knob and general OD switching has taken on new meanings for me, thank you Gus !
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/petemoore/0219091039.jpg)
Here's the Blackfinger and FF end of the board, That Fuzzface has been on the board the longest.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/petemoore/0219091041.jpg)
And my pedalboard with the big game kitty's expressive exclamation ! [before the OD went where the BMP was and before the Chorus became a treadle speed SS phaser:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/petemoore/0129091351.jpg)
Mounting the switched power cord in there [short IEC cable to Voodoolabs PPII Supply] allows me a way to switch off the tubes and everything.
Notice also the somewhat unsightly strapping of the boxes, 1 screw removes or tightly secures a box, and they can be made to order quickly and for free, I had problems with some of other methods I tried for securing boxes, especially larger ones.
The Raco and boxes with 4 screws and a bottom are mostly rubber-footed bottom w/bottom screwed down, [the width of the rip of the mounting board strips fits under the boxes, bottom screws accessible from either side of the box...from the bottom].
The phaser has to go though...when trying to stomp it on or off the whole PB tips up, making a jab-stomp necessary.

Crybaby volume pedal
Roadhog Fuzz (andy's simple fuzz)
'77 OD-250 (in the fancy diamondplate enclosure my brother made for me)
Dallas Rangemaster with fat switch
Matsumin SRV Special
EH Small Stone (FINALLY OWN ONE!! A gift from a DJ friend of mine)
Oh and my trusty Sabine ST-1500 tuner. Can't believe it still works after 17years of abuse!!
All enclosures except the volume and small stone are the ones my brother makes.
The board itself is made from 1/2" plywood top and bottom with 1"x 4" sides split at 1-1/2". Need to build another using 1"X 6" sides so the volume pedal fits right. Also need to build on a second tier for the Dr. Quack, Blues Driver with keeley mods, Russian BMP, and power supply underneath.

There are a lot of nice boards on here so though id put mine up.
Been a good few years in the making.
Nothing boutique or home made (Yet!) but im working on that ;D
i wont patronize you guys by naming all the individual units im sure you know.
Have just bought a proper small stone and small clone and they shall be swapped in (removing the CE-2 and Nano stone), also removing the NS-1 when i get the money together for a Voodoo labs pedal power. (it currently blocks the hum from my multiple wall wart PS's when im not playing)
A few mods:
-TR-2 C4 mod
-DD-3 hi cut/low pass mod (on repeats)
-TS-9 --->808 spec
-DS-1 multiple mods from overdrive spider and circuit bent
Pedalboard by Diago (recommended;)), custom riser and LED lighting courtesy of myself and a weekend spent in the garage wishing i had a belt sander >:(.

enjoy!
this is my new mini-pedalboard:
(http://i39.tinypic.com/6h6d78.jpg)
it's thought as a back up, to play at little gigs or jam sessions, where i can't bring my main amp and the big-pedalboard.
so that i still have the minum i need under my feets.
signal path is:
fender tuner > octaver > bigmuff > echobase > brunetti overtone2 (2 chanel valve preamp/distiortion pedal).
maybe i'll add a demeter compulator clone (wonderfull compressor, i'm building a second one right now)
do you guys take out the batteries and leave your pedals plugged in almost all of the time so that you don't have to go through the annoying set up process every time you wanna play? I'm not sure what to do right now, i was worried this would destroy the jacks, but i don't know, someone explain? Thanks!
Best way is to not use battery's (personally) unless you really have to (for example with the VOV V847 wah- to save battery you just unplug the input jack, not a problem as its usually sensible to put it first in your chain).
Instead use a multiple power supply, you can get cheap ones (sometimes refferd to as a wall-wart) for about £40 but these just tend to induce ground hum. the main pro of this is that you just switch on the multiple power suply and about eight to ten of your pedals are ready to use, no unplugging cables at the end of gigs etc. no real cons, some multi supply's even have voltage sags to run you vintage fuzzes off etc.
the main spec you should be looking for in a PS is that it is isolated, this stops cross talk, degradation of signal and that pesky hum that sometimes is cause by cheap PS.
there are a few good isolated PS's on the market at the moment (voodoo labs PS is a standard), none of them cheap. But honestly think of it this way:
if you have a lot of pedals you might as well spend the extra £150 somewhere down the line and make sure they can be run at the manufacturers specified voltage, this gives the internal components the best chance of operating inside their designed range and you squeezing that last bit of tone out of your entire rig, especially if your as anal as i can be.
Theres my two cents hope this helped.
BTW also will save you spending a tonne of money on 9v bat's, and its always annoying when you run out at a gig

Most of my builds don't even have the ability to have a 9V battery - I use only DC jacks because I hate buying batteries and I don't like plugging/unplugging cords all the time.
I use a 1-Spot, it powers my whole board, and no problems with noise, except for a Line 6 Chorus that just refused to play well with others no matter what I powered it with--and a battery is NOT an option for that hungry puppy. I do run my Headrush off its own wallwart, but really only because I keep it separate from the pedalboard. If I ever get around to building a mini-board for the Headrush (with mic preamp/splitter, buffered mini-mixer and stereo vol pedal) I'll probably get another 1-Spot for the whole mess. It's not a VL power supply, but it is a heck of a lot cheaper. BTW, if you are interested in building a super-isolated, multi-tap, multi-voltage, regulated monster PS, take a look at the special purpose transformers that Weber sells (about $30, IIRC, although total cost for such a project would probably be more like $60-80).

Hey, very nice and thoughtfully done board, but this confuses me. Why does your board have a speaker output? Is there a mini amp hidden in there somwhere?
The head and speaker outputs are there for my talkbox. That pedal has to be put in between the two.

If you made them snap together I would be even more impressed.
That's actually a pretty boss idea. Having something like this (Http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=458) would actually make more space inside the enclosure, plus it would take up less space on your pedalboard. Just make the input a jack and the output a plug.
Of course, you'd have to have a designated last pedal so you could plug a cable into it to go to your amp. Hmm...

Br4d13y got it -- the looper frees me from having to worry about where switches are on effects. I'm boxing up a fuzz now: no switch at all. Just in, out and an always-on indicator LED so I get visual confirmation the effect has power running to it. All my switching is done at the Loopholic.
You want the back story? I was watching a Star Trek movie marathon while I was soldering the cables for the board and it was bugging me -- every time the Klingons and the Enterprise met in space it was head on. Why head on? They have complete freedom to engage any way at all, but they always line up head on. And then, as I was struggling trying to route some cables and power, I realized -- why am I trying to line up all my pedals like I'm going to be stomping on them? The looper frees me of dimensional constraints when it comes to laying out the board. See the crazy stuff Star Trek inspires? :)
This board is actual on its way out. I picked up some wood this weekend to build a new board that works better with the looper. I'll likely run all the dirt pedals upside down like that and with their switches obscured by a second tier in the back where the effects that have tap input switches will live.
Solderman,
Since you clearly aim for a small footprint, and since you have a number of pedals patched in series, I will bring to your attention a nifty tip that was in POLYPHONY so many years ago.
A reader noted that the side-mounted jacks on MXR pedals (all using a 1590B enclosure) were all at the same height. So, what he did was remove the output jack from several pedals and run the bushing of the input jack on the next pedal through the output hole on the preceding pedal, attaching the nut to the bushing inside the preceding pedal. In other words, two pedals became attached to each other, rather than patched via an external cable, by using the bushing as a physical link.
The output lead, rather than going to a jack and cable, would now be fed through the passageway to the appropriate lug of the input jack on the next pedal in line. With the holes all at the same height, the multi-pedal became one solid mass.
If course, with the pedals that close, you'd probably need even pointier shoes to hit the switches with any accuracy! :icon_lol:
This was the first thing I thought of--what a perfect application for them! (There are other choices besides Monster that have the same setup)

This is my attempt at cutting down the space between boxes and making the wiring easier. Allows a lot more room for the circuit inside. I needed to do this because I can't do without the 2-Tone but I wanted to keep the pedal board from getting any bigger. Easy stomping for the front row except for the Klon and FF/Rangemaster. Probably will set the Klon on the far right side. Easy to swap pedals out of the front row, too. Just tip up the front edge and then pull the jacks out the back when the velcro comes loose. I want to rig up something to lift the back row up 2-3" to make it easier to stomp without hitting the front row's knobs.

^ What's that bottom left?
Bottom left is a Bad Cat 2-Tone dual channel preamp. It's a slightly improved version of the Matchless Hot Box. It is the "front end" of my amp. Delay and verb go after that and then back to either a '64 Princeton or a Visual Sound Workhorse Stallion.
Do you use it to overdrive your amps, or to create distortion, or simply to warm up the sound?
The 2-Tone is an amp's preamp with a clean and OD channel and 2 12AX7 tubes. I set the amps to a sort of dull or "normal" sounding warm/clean tone. So 1/2 my amp sits on the floor at my feet. :) No need to run long fx loop cables back to the pedal board, either.

Solderman,
Since you clearly aim for a small footprint, and since you have a number of pedals patched in series, I will bring to your attention a nifty tip that was in POLYPHONY so many years ago.
A reader noted that the side-mounted jacks on MXR pedals (all using a 1590B enclosure) were all at the same height. So, what he did was remove the output jack from several pedals and run the bushing of the input jack on the next pedal through the output hole on the preceding pedal, attaching the nut to the bushing inside the preceding pedal. In other words, two pedals became attached to each other, rather than patched via an external cable, by using the bushing as a physical link.
The output lead, rather than going to a jack and cable, would now be fed through the passageway to the appropriate lug of the input jack on the next pedal in line. With the holes all at the same height, the multi-pedal became one solid mass.
If course, with the pedals that close, you'd probably need even pointier shoes to hit the switches with any accuracy! :icon_lol:
Thanks for the idee. I have seen back to back mounted plugs like this I have planed to buy to test ;)

My experience is that rigid connectors are not so good for your jacks, and if your jacks are pcb-mounted, :((.

If the pedals are from the same manufacturer, or if the plugs are offset, it's not too much of a source of risk. I make my own offset male-to-male adapters by buying cheap rt-angle phone plugs and soldering/screwing them to each other, such that each serves as the cover for the other.
The POLYPHONY article sidesteps plugs entirely.

Yup. It's a Rat, specifically an FKR - http://leftjustified.net/lab/rat-distortion/
Aha Genius, i'm actually in the proccess of modding your unwitting donor into hopefully a better delay... might be a lost cause but it's basically a DM-2 in there so we shall see (hate it's bypass, adds a nasty colour... i'm not a true bypass addict but it would be nice to do it to this) If it fails... it may have to take a simmilar turn for the better...
Please post any findings re: improving the delay circuit. I still have the guts from mine
Ok, so I have far too many pedals.... Even more since i started building a couple of years ago.

That looks like the 2 plates/screws would be the weak point, and weaker than the jacks in most boxes...perfect ! [I like the idea of at least some flexibility between separate boxes jacks.

The offset one was just fit test prepared for this photo (I had no need for such a plug yet), it's not even wired inside ;) - but I believe, it would work just fine (even it's interior is not 100% shielded, it would be IMO shielded enough).. if I would plan to use it and rely on it, I would probably fill it with some kind of glue before screwing it (in original meaning of this word ;)) together.

A 2nd "Wow" for the Peculator
Anyone tried to build a pedalboard with Ikea Bräda (laptop support)?
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60150176
I recognized it yesterday as I traveled through the mighty Ikea hallway.
It's not super solid but if you stabilize it a bit it might be cheaper than a Ikea Gorm Pedalboard (but smaller).
Take two of them and glue them together one underneath the other - it would improve the strength. Better three even. You could drill with a Mandrill and get holes for cords to run underneath. Probably room underneath to mount most Power supplies with Velcro. The lip on the front edge would be great for keep your pedals from sliding off the front. I think it's a little steep though, but probably could be cut down so it's not quite so bad. What's the material that makes that thing?
Jacob
"High impact polystyrene, Synthetic rubber"
still, if it can be made sturdy enough, it's waaaaay cheaper than any other commercial option - even when buying three to glue together!
What I'd be most worried about is stepping on a pedal and having it snap in half while playing a gig.

Kinda curious about them, never used a pedal of theirs. I'm sure there's lots out there i've never used, but you obviously like them - what makes it so?

Also, I vote this thread be moved to pictures area of the forum. Any Mods willing to do such?

The T-rex effects are solid, dependable and clean but pricey . The Roommate tube reverb is outstanding as far as reverbs go,
added to the Replica Echo its a perfect match that you dont want to turn off.Excellent cust service from them as well.Try to pick them up
used and see what I mean

All on a Pedaltrain 2.
Top row: GGG Reverb, Turbo Tuner, Aqua Puss clone, Cornish G2 clone, rehoused Red Witch Moon Phaser, rehoused and modded Barber Tone Press
Bottom: Bad Cat 2-Tone preamp, BJFE Folk Fuzz, Honey Bee clone, Dyna Red clone, Pink Flesh clone, Systec Harmonic Energizer clone, custom Timmy!
This is my Acoustic Guitar Board. It all sits on a PT-Jr, powered by a BBE SupaCharger. Cables made by me using Canare and Neutrick ends, and one still needs to be upgraded cause I like the North American made ends better than the plastic Chinese ones that cable has. No ends in town, so I have to wait and order some.
Signal chain is:
Ernie Ball VP > Boss Tu-12ex Tuner
Ernie Ball VP > eQ-10 (BYOC kit) > Orange Squeezer (Tonepad PCB) > Small Clone (Tonepad PCB) > Reverb (BYOC Kit) > Radial JDI
(http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/9117/img0866c.jpg) (http://img707.imageshack.us/i/img0866c.jpg/)
Does the trick on the acoustic front. I play in the church I work at often. Currently, the Reverb has been modded for a lower amount of reverb, but it's still giving me trouble so I need to lower the reverb some more and double check the wiring. Also, the eQ-10 is very hissy, and I'm not very satisfied with it. Someone was working on a 3 band full parametric PCB that I'd like to get my hands onto. I'd run that without a switch if it's quiet enough!

What are you using to secure those pedals to the board? Looks like little fasteners of some sort at each corner?

Yep, bike chain links like these (http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=45&zenid=97f3782d02ec2c2cee196d3cb395da5a). They work great if you don't change things around much - very secure. A real pain however if you like to swap things around on a regular basis.
I see. Interesting. It certainly would not be convenient for switching out often, but I bet its damn secure! Thanks!

Yes, dont jump up and down on it! The top and bottom are basically cardboard with a corrugated plastic overlay. They are great for the price, as long as you treat them nicely.
Here's the latest iteration.
Signal Path goes (not necessarily in order on board) : Boss Tu-2 > WHRL > Ross Comp > Fooldrive > Blue Magic > Screamer 808 > Boss PH-2 (repainted, upper middle) > BYOC Analog Delay > Rebote 2.5 > Boss DD-3 > Volume Pedal. The little box in the bottom left corner is for switching my amps channel and reverb. Obviously everything is DIY but the Boss Pedals and Volume, however the Phaser will be replaced if I can get the SS I'm working on working, and I have a big 3 in one that will also remove the DD3 and WHRL to give me a second phaser, a Trem and Flanger also. That's a ways off though.

The missing buffer is just my own laziness..
what buffer layout did you use? ive just built two and am not truly satisfied with either of them
I'm going to do "plon fentar" with added charge pump to run it on 12V, but my layout design is still in progress. I have no idea will it be good or not..

+1 on that, I was thinking about the delay
I've got the Hardwire Reverb, I gotta say it's all i've ever wanted from a Reverb, nice and sturdy and great sounds, my only critiscims would be i'm not sure how long the Push Button foot switch will last and mine doesn't seem to function properly with batteries (it turns on once fine but if you turn it off and on again, it just flashes) but mine was second hand.
But other than that, great little pedals, well built with lots of useful sounds in them, even the reverse reverb is more useful than I thought it would be. Certainly a step up from Digitechs old reputation and more than worth it in terms of value for money, you could throw it at the ground and it'd probably come out unharmed.
I want to get that there Delay too, it seems like a great tool especially with its looping function and once again the price is really good for what you get.

The RV7 is top notch.
Chorus and Delay are decent.

Rehoused Standard Fuzz Wau? I'd love to see a gut shot of that. I have a pcb around here somewhere.
Here's my home maid job that has a top with butterfly latches and a Llamda labmotory grade DCsupply and
a little trap door affair to house the Countryman DI box. It's holding a few of my older FX and the controller
for the Mesa Formula Pre in my rack.
(http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r222/noelgrassy/twGL%20Labmotorium%20De%20Rickuluss%20Rehaviums/PedalboardAcres03_twGL.jpg)
Here's the PT Pro with an assortment of dirt and glitchy bits for feeding the FX loop in the Mesa which in turn feeds the
Eventide Eclipse also seen in the rack action figure.

From the Mesa out put signal goes below to a P/P 6V6 amp I built to provide a fundamental rock tone as it feeds the two
Tone Tubbies housed in an old Sunn cab.The stereo image is provided for by an Express at stage right and a Komet 60
staGE LEFT.

I'm currently digging my Trussart Steelcaster and Epi Sheraton though we'll see who's who in the zoo when I finish re-wiring
my Les Paul with the PAFs and bumble bee tunas. You'll not hear me complain about my gear for at least a while, ;)

It's not an actual rehouse, I was given the knobs and faceplate by my cousin. They were the last remains of an old Wau Wau Fuzz. The insides of my pedal are my own vero layout from this schematic (http://members.fortunecity.com/uzzfay/iswf/iswfsch.html). I'd post my layout but I haven't got a place to upload it at the moment. Same goes with the gut shot.
That's cool. Thanks anyway.
I made the fuzz part in a couple boxes already. With the hardware there, I thought you'd gutted a real one.
Heh, that scheemo is from my site!

WHY on EARTH would you be using that rackmount Mesa preamp when you could be using that GEM of a Blackface Bassman! If it's just sitting around and you don't want it, I'd gladly give you 20 bucks for it...
Jacob
That, sir, is no blackface Bassman, no, no.
That, sir, is a brownface Bassman, which is a Horse of a Different Color! Just ask Aron... or Brian Setzer.
IMHO, however, that is not an amp you plug a long string of fx into. That is an amp you plug a cable into, the other end of that cable being plugged into an electric guitar. Then you turn the volume up as high as you can stand, season to taste, and wail.
That is all.
I'll give you 25 bucks for the Trainwreck...
Apparently Ben N. knows what time it is! The instrument I most like plugged in my '62 Bassman is my 1956 ES-125. It
is the source for the audio portion of my psychobilly freakout. The set-up is the only one the allows me to crank the
amp and not generate massive, howling feedback. Oddly enough. ???
DougH, That's a very generous offer I'm sure but for now my Mom says I have to turn you down. According to the
brochure, mother's know best. Besides that old amp is pretty loud. :icon_wink:
Thanks for looking gang!
Noel Grassy.
Aw, shucks, Noel, thanks. BTW, I do have a silverface Bassman (AB865, methinks), that I love dearly, an amp with great tone and real authority (and a fine way with pedals), but it doesn't have quite the growl of those luscious blonds. Some day, some day...
No feedback with an ES-125? Did you stuff that thing with a year's worth of dryer lint or something? BTW, is that a pre-cutaway 125?
Posted mine a while back but much has changed so heres the revision.

It's not too bad if you follow a semi-logical knob layout pattern for most things. Volume on the left, gain on the right, tone in the middle takes care of most dirt pedals. Plus since I built the pedals I'm more familiar with the functions than someone who picks up a pedal at a music store to try it out. :icon_wink:
some homemade and some store brought

Kev77, based on your pedal board I conclude (a) that you are a guy who REALLY likes delay, and (b) you wear pointy-toe shoes. :)

Pedalboard built out of a briefcase. Red pedal is a two-in-one boost (lpb-1 and screaming bird) the blue one is a trotsky drive. Keeley ds-1 modded by me with circuit bend. Black box is a switchbox. I have parts coming in for a buzzbox which will be my first 1590a build. Amp is a Cube 30.

Let me see if I can manage to post my very first pic and introduce some of my (very) humble work.
(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/8522/smallpboard2.jpg)
I that above worked what you see is my small, 'working' pedalboard that is actually a pedal bag with some most used ones inside. From lower right side (CW) BSIAB2, Rebote delay 2.5, Fraverb (a bit modified), Condor CabSim, Polytune TC electronics, Sansamp gt2 (that I with a lot of fantasy call: SimAmp hehe) and a stock ts808. Outside is just a crybaby and boss me70 that I use on other channel just as looper (when I play at home to have some backing 'track').
(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/5755/bigpboard.jpg)
This is another one, which is 'big one'. I made this, first as a pedalboard than it became just a storage place for my pedals :). From lower right (CW):
Marshall bluesbreaker II, MXR noise gate (that I call Silencio), Tremulus lune, Damage Control Demonizer, Valvecaster, Ibanez Fat Cat, MXR Envelope Filter, Fuzz face, Ross Compressor, EH Holy Stain, Ross Phaser, Ts808 with some mods, another ts 808 (the black 'thingy') is one that I use as a reference build actually my first one!, MXR Distortion+, Boss Turbo Dist and DR.Boogie.
I think it's obvious which ones are bought (commercial pedals) other ones are made by me. I have some more all over the place or borrowed to friends like small clone (tonepad) and some others.
That is my pedalboard(s)!
Cheers
Nice, man. How's the Polytune?
thanks,
I like it so far, bought it recently so I can't tell if it's durable or anything, but it does the job well. Precise tuning, you can tune all strings att the same time but that is more as a reference - I strum the string all at the same time and just see which one is out of tune (you can hear it for instance) and start picking on just that one - it immediately changes to single string mode . very easy to use, bright display too.

What is in the modified Pignose?
Oh yeah. The Pignose broke a long time ago, and they didn't want to send me a schematic...not that I could've made sense of it back then, haha.
So...I built your Ruby in there, with the "Hiwatt mods". ;)
But what happened to that awesome knob??? I wish I could put pig noses on all my effects.
Good question! It's somewhere around my house, haha.
How sweet would it be if there were one of frequencycentral's Murder One's in there, eh? :D
Oh, in case it wasn't clear, the pedalboard is also a case. I built it that for ease of transport for gigs and whatnot. ;)
Man if you got an Orange amp, your whole rig would almost match.
Nope, haha. I built this when I was really into the Orange Rockerverb 50, but I never ended up getting it. I'm currently running into a Peavey VTM60 (JCM800-ish mutant) and an Avatar 2x12.
I may end up going with a white 18W Lite and a white tolexed Orange-PPC-style 1x12" cab, though. ;)
I'm wanting to post some pics of my board next week, but want to know what the name of this program is again that does the pedal layouts? Like guitarman89 above?

(http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n121/knealebrown/IMG_1752.jpg)
The 1590a box is a stratoblaster i use as a pre amp, the orange one is a orange squeezer and the large red one is a modded trotski drive. The TS9 i use as lead and is in a loop with the phaser, delay and tremolo this means i only have the wah, pre amp, comp and Reverb inline for clean signals. Im also using jack ormans super buffer after the 'verb but it wouldn't fit on the board.
The board itself is homemade from an old guitar case :D

Theres a few mods done to it from the 'stinkfoot' page and a few caps replaced for plestyrene ones. The mods i did were the movable Q point in the filter section (the pot), a range boost and added a toggle to change things back to stock IM NOT GOING TO LIE THESE MODS WERE GREAT, BEFORE THEM I WAS USING A VOX AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE TITS. I was going to buy a fulltone wah..........glad i didnt

That's just a preview of what's to come. I need to finish up the actual pedals part, but I'm excited for this to come together. As a bassist, I don't use a ton of pedals at my gigs, but there are a few that I want around.
these are the pedalboards I'm using now:
BIG

(http://i49.tinypic.com/3477cwg.jpg)
whammy>fender tuner>micro pog>demeter compulator DIY>dod fx25 envelope filter DIY>small stone DIY>Timefactor>Brunetti Overtone2
I use the Big one with my amp, a Brunetti XL-Revo, which has 3 channels (clean, crunch, lead) and the Small one when I don't have my amp and use the first clean amp I find, the Overtone2 then gives me the crunch and lead sounds, but I'm planning to organize what I really need in only 1 pedalboard :P
I love that your 'small' one is bigger than your 'big' one when you count all the pedals sitting around it :-P
I calculate size that way too--just to make my back feel a little better about hefting it all around.
My modest practice setup pedalboard:
(http://home.comcast.net/~snmavronis/mypedalchain.jpg)
Guitar > Noise Suppressor (w/Effects Loop) > Overdrive > Amp (Clean Channel)
Effects loop cable is Fender and angled patch cable is Ibanez.

Although, I more often use this one:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/tenderstems/pedalboard-1.jpg)
The drive pedal is just for feedback, and actually isnt there any more!
This was like 2 years ago... so a bit dated ... though my current board is still the same in its essence.

aaand, one for clarity:

Bottom row, right to left: Amp switch/AB box > Polytune > Black Finger Tube Comp > Gristleizer > Holy Grail Nano > BMP w/ Ge diodes and AMZ presence control > Hot Silicon Fuzz > OHS (I didn't have a 5kC, so a 5kA wired backwarf would have to do...hence the name)
All that goes into the Sansamp into my 30w combo, and the DD-20 is in the FX loop.
*edit* linked since I can't resize the pics easily :)
how's the polytune? worth it?
Quote from: phector2004 on August 15, 2010, 11:01:39 PM
how's the polytune? worth it?
For me, absolutely, especially in the band I do lead vocals in. It's much faster for figuring out which strings are off in the middle of a performance, when I don't really have much time to look down at my board.
Some people like to whine that it's not accurate enough. To that, the only real response I have is that the guitar is a massively flawed instrument when it comes to intonation. If your open string is off by an almost-imperceptible amount because of your tuner, and you can't compensate with your hands, you should practice more.
It is a bit slower than other tuners I've used on individual string mode, but for me, the poly mode more than makes up for it.
Well, here's my board. Nothing too unusual. I like the case. I started with an old small piece of luggage. I replaced the hinges with breakaways and the latches with some scavenged big old things. I wired up a "boxless" foot-switched master volume. Note: Once I used this set up for a while I removed the metal bar shown in the pic that operates the master volume and PQ-3B pedal simultaneously. I found that I can press both at once without it. That way I get another gain setting as well by engaging the EQ without the master volume. That may make sense to some of you...

I'm working on 2 other pedals to add to it at the moment. one called De Stijl, which is a simulator of a Silvertone 1485, and the other is called HyperArchitecture, which is based on a Fuzz Factory, except with more gain, and doesn't oscilate. It's a really fun board to play on. I only got the Blowing Up today, and it's super loud fun! Worth every cent of the $100. Plus, it's got a @#$%ing dinosaur on the front!

Isn't that a HOG expression pedal? :icon_eek:
Where are you hiding it?!?! Or is it for the eventide?
its just an M-Audio EXP pedal. theyre pretty common

Yep, that's it! I'm using it to control the Timefactor.
The whole chain is running like this:
Digitech Whammy > EH Micro POG > Demeter Compulator+Boss SG1 (DIY clones, the blue pedal on top right) > Korg DT10 > Ernie Ball VP Jr. > WMD Super Fatman > EH Small Stone > Eventide Timefactor > Brunetti Overtone2
There's only 1 DIY pedal inside there (and the little footswitch in the middle, which is also an external controller for the TF).
Around I have many other DIYs pedals (tremulus lune, clone theory, some BigMuffs and fuzzs, a pair of overdrives, etc...), but actually in this setup I have all the stuff I really need!
Gudday all, first time post - thought I'd share so please be gentle with me. I've always been into a bit of poorly executed DIY and modding guitars, but I've just started on pedals. Anyway, here's my board:
It started off with a bit of inspiration from Pedaltrain, Emma, Trailertrash, and the enternal Gorm thread. So I checked out Bunnings, found the equivalent of the Gorm and felt it was a touch fragile/soft. So I found some "quick-connect" aluminum and the joiners that go with it. I got it cut to size at a local fab shop as I don't have a vice or the ability to do a square cut.
Notice the wider gap up top. This is so I can mount a Behringer Ultra-GI underneath.

The chain is:
Boss A/B pedal for swapping guitars -> Behringer TU-300 tuner -> Morely Bad Horsie wah -> DS-1 w/ASE+Ultra mods -> Blackstar HT-Dual -> Behringer FX-600 ->Biyang Tri-reverb -> Behringer Ultra-GI. Powered via Visual Sound One-Spot and a bog standard Blackstar PSU for the HT-Dual underneath the board.
If anyone cares, the Biyang reverb is actually pretty good.
Gentle? Willybomb, you deserve a hearty pat on the back for what you have accomplished! Hope it doesn't dislocate a vertebra. This has to be one of the neatest, most professional looking and functional pedalboards in this thread.
Thanks mate. The board itself is very light due to the aluminium. The bloody HT-Dual on the other hand....
Anyone know where I can get sheets of the loop velcro? Currently each pedal is individually velcro'd down but I'd like to cover the top for a bit more freedom.
Hardware stores should have velcro.
These guys have been around for awhile.

QuoteHardware stores should have velcro.
Yeah, they do, but getting it in anything wider than an inch is proving to be a bit difficult. Finding it in sheets is fairly impossible, although I've seen it in places other than AU.
I have some spare time tomorrow so I'm going to check out a few places and see what turns up.
@jordan: spoiled by FB; no 'like' button :icon_confused: dunno what to do! & they're actually about ready to be retired; the tread is about to fall off :icon_sad:
@Willybomb - what's inside Biyang reverb?? what are they using for reverberation? I'm really curious:)
No idea actually, I haven't opened it up to find out - wouldn't mean much to me anyway. :icon_sad: It does sound nice on moderate settings though as it has a stupid amount of reverb tail when everything's maxxed out. I generally use the "hall" setting with both knobs set around 11 o'clock. The "room" setting seems to just be a shorter reverb time at the same settings (who would have thought that), and "Spring" sounds pretty much like the other 2. I'm not sure what the A/B mode switch is intended to do, but "A" has some faint underlying noise/dirt/distortion while "B" is as clean as a whistle, and is much clearer to listen to - surprisingly so given how minimal the dirt in "A" is.
Someone else on the tripri forums thinks much the same as I do (after googling "inside biyang reverb"): The Biyang seems to take ONE model of reverb, and by changing the length of the decay divides it into 3 modes, room, spring, and hall. But I don't really hear any "spring" in the spring model, or any "hall" in the hall model, they are just smaller & bigger verbs.
I gotta laugh though, I made a couple of those right angled patchleads with the flat circular heads (not a lot of space between the pedals in a couple of cases) just to find that they don't fit through the holes I'd drilled in the top. So, I removed one jack, threaded it through where it had to go and resoldered it on. :icon_redface:
just set up my new board the other day:

Gonna be productive as hell this month! I'm taking on the RPM feb challenge with 4 long-ish songs, and I need to start preparing for two solid gigs early next month.
Moved stuff back to the "comfy room" and not on the floor. Ditched a bunch of pedals, added others. 2880 as main looper. Got the DS hooked up to bitrman and timefactor. everything goes into alesis nanoverb, RNC and the mixer.

Cool, this looks a lot like some of my older setups, before DIY. I'm interested in possibly DIYing the PDS8000, any chance you'd be able to post gut shots? I know it's going to be insane in there.
BTW, how do you like the Xaviere jazzmaster copy? I just bought one of the new ones - my first guitar - waiting for it to show up. I saw on some other forum that you had one, wondering if you had some thoughts?
that's my drone/ambient/electroacoustic setup. for those of you who wonder what the hell I'm thinking :icon_biggrin:

the ic in the top right that looks rubbed out but actually isn't is:
M 411024PP15C

I really love the Xaviere! the neck is kind of the weak point, but so far I'm living with it. the electronics sound better (less hum/noise, and overall cripser) than my SG which cost 5 times as much.
Awesome, thanks for all that info. I was up late last night looking at schematics for some of these old samplers. It would actually be possible to DIY these with some parts substitutions (seems the DAC Digitech used is impossible to find now), but I'm wondering if there might be better ways. I get pretty excited about PCBs with ridiculous amounts of CMOS chips on them, though.
I will be buying some of your music once I figure out how to do so on your site... ;)

I see a copper pedal hidden in there.... could it be??? The mythical JW circuit box?
You caught me!! I built a circuit box with a burst button :icon_twisted:
Actually, it's just an isolation transformer and an attenuator, I'm using the +4 Balanced out on the RE-501 Space Echo, just trying to keep things from humming. I put it in one of those radio shack plastic boxes, I had some copper tape laying around so tried to shield it.

Hi!
It's a order switch (juggler) switching order of pre-amp (Bakery) and phaser.
And it's
after wha actually :) Wah is heavily modified, one of modifications is that IN and OUT jacks are switched - I'm lefty plus signal traveling from the left to the right always seemed more logical to me (so all my DIY stompboxes are builded this way).
Thanks for your interest :) T.
NICE! It looks so right for a left player :)
huh, i'm a righty and i have always used my left foot on the wah.

Not at all, no big heavy mods, I love the character of Traynors but I needed to bend them to my will so I changed a bunch of values, got rid of the cap in the negative feedback of the YSR, did some tube life stuff, stopped blocking distortion, lowered the noise, beefed up the power supply, variable bias, the most intrusive thing I did was change the Bass Mate to Cathode bias and replace the speaker with a Standel/Trusonic. More just tweaks than mods, everything is reversible. I do have a dead stock '60 YSR-1 and matching 2-15 cab on the other side of the room.
Here's a pedalboard I built for a friend in the band LostAlone. Got this ready for their current tour supporting My Chemical Romance in Uk and Europe. It contains 5 of my Star Wars themed pedals, M Pi Strikes back (Big Muff clone), Han Solo (NPN Boost), Klaatubescreamer (Tubescreamer clone) and ABYX Wing (Custom ABYX switcher) and an Echobase (which started the whole Star Wars theme!)

Yes, there's 2 tuners!! Steven likes to have one on all the time so he can keep an eye on tuning. Probably going to be swapped for a Polytune soon. Seems a bit excessive to me but this guy does use 3 amps!

Love that pedal.
Here is a pedal board I built a while ago. As you can tell it is big and not portable. So it stays in the practice room for now and that is why nothing is hooked up.
I hope to have it updated sometime with a more portable (protective) design!

Hey Olivero1, how do you use the Art preamp? I've got one of those, but it sits mostly, even though it is pretty cool. I think if I gigged acoustically I would use it more--probably with a little mixer, too.

Mainly I use it at home to power a mic for recording. But I have used it to plug into a house PA system before. I just model my sound straight into the ART and then balance the levels on the mixer and feed it to the PA board. The nice bonus is you get the advantage of shaping your sound before the PA, and sometimes you can mess with them too!

Slacker,
It was more than at home up there! It's such a great pedal it deserves a stage like that.
I'm really missing it so I'm building another one, this time using Taylors board. It's going to be a monster with loads of the mods included.
This one won't be given away!
Thanks for designing such a great pedal and for making it available to the rest of us.

Needed to make a small rig I could go on the NYC bus & subway system with during rush hours. I have to bring this stuff w/me to work in the AM so I can jam w/the boys in the PM. Had to be small & still have plenty of processing power. This is what I came up with (subject to change w/out notice ;D). BTW, the Cube 60 stays home.

I'm fairly happy w/the sonic pallate this provides. When I don't 1have to take public transit (get a ride from somebody :P) I take the GR55 to add to the mayhem.
Fun, fun, fun!
Excellent choice of flanger, sir! :icon_mrgreen: OK, the other pedals seems to be chosen very well too ;)
Really nice (and cute) rig you've got there, Dave! How is the Traveler playing, how does it fit into hands compared to "regular" guitar?
Cheers, T.
Btw. compact size was one of my main goals for my pedalboard too:
(http://thmq.mysteria.cz/my1stPb/thumb/DSCN9223.JPG)
:icon_mrgreen:
The Traveler guitar has a 25.5" scale. It feels like a fast Strat neck. This guitar has a surprisingly good sound & sustain. Weighs next to nothing. When switching to a "regular" electric it feels like you strapped the weight of the world on.
The stock tuners were crap so I installed a set of Grover Auto Locking tuners. The PU was switched to a Gibson Humbucker. The stock one; while not bad; wasn't to my liking.
AND, it needed a real thorough neck setup as the factory action was rather high. When I lowered the strings a few buzzes/dead notes occurred from frets 14-17. A quick spot grind & polish cured this. Thank goodness I build/repair & setup guitars as having somebody else do all this would cost $$ I don't have. Truth be known, if I didn't do this work I would have returned it for a refund.
Now it plays really nice & behaves well.
Damn etienne, if I had €800 knocking around...
Here's my pedalboard. I built it into the back lid of my rack.

The Chorus is the biyang, it's a lovely ce2 clone with extra controls. Can't build nicer for the money.
The fane dct200 doesn't power the space station I have a wall wart a present. I am working on dropping down the 12vac to 9v. I tried the 12v and the pedal powered up gut was in content overload. Funnily, the proper wall wrt o have reads 11v ac (!!!)
Sill the 12v dc works for the line 6 just fine, and for the money the power supply is excellent. Isolated outputs, battery sag outlets, lots of mA on tap etc. For £59 it's amazing.
£59? I'd pay 49€ in Germany. http://www.musicstore.de/de_DE/EUR/Fame-DCT-200-Multi-Power-Supply-/art-GIT0019066-000

It's REALLY easy to cut George L's to length, so I'm assuming that there is a tone reason that there is a rat's nest of coiled up too long cables on that board ;)

Do you know of any existing DIY projects that do 9VAC as well? I haven't ventured very far into the world of AC power and transformers, so I haven't figured out how to add a 9VAC out to one of the existing DIY power supply projects that I know of.

I would beware of sending AC directly to a supply or pedal that rectifies it. The diodes conduct only when the incoming peak voltage exceeds the capacitor voltage (unless you are using a choke input - but nobody does that at 9 VAC) but the average current must equal the time-averaged peak current. Thus, even if you are powering a pedal like a phaser that may only take 25 mA, the peak currents may be 250 mA and they will contain a lot of harmonics from 60 Hz through RF frequencies.

You just need to add another transformer inside or you can use multi-winding transformer for your PSU with one winding dedicated to this output.
You should start by creating list of voltages (and currents) you need (now and in the "known" future) for your pedalboard and then design PSU according to this list (and pedal topology - you may or may not need isolated voltages for some /groups of/ pedals). Don't hesitate to start new topic in "Building your own stompbox" section for further discussion.

Aye, there's the rub, as Shakespeare would say. All I'm saying is that two separate units involves no great expertise or risk, as opposed to doing a 9vac output on a p/s designed for DC outputs. Not elegant and not very DIY, but it is an alternative.

My pedalboard is pretty simple these days. Everything is 9VDC, except my Digitech Whammy II. That's why I'm asking about 9VAC. I've use two different PSU's as a result. It's not that big of a deal to plug in two PSU's; but it would be nice to have only one! I'll get working on this, and take a re-read of RG's power supply articles.
If you are forced by circumstances to supply AC from one box to another where it is rectified, you should use shielded twisted pair or two separate coax cables with grounded shields for the power line to avoid radiated emissions. The wire separation forms a loop which has inductance and acts as an antenna. Twisting minimizes the loop area and each twist radiates the opposite polarity of the adjacent one so that radiated magnetic field averages to nearly zero in the far field. Shielding means that the electric field is not seen outside of the cable. You may find that you have no trouble, but you may interfere with other equipment such as wireless microphones (although these are normally UHF) or nearby electrical equipment, or your noise floor comes up a bit.
If the AC is not rectified (e.g. used only for tube heaters) then there is not as much of a problem since with a linear load, no new frequencies are created.

I've use two different PSU's as a result. It's not that big of a deal to plug in two PSU's; but it would be nice to have only one! I'll get working on this, and take a re-read of RG's power supply articles.
Good! As I said, don't hasitate to start new thread about it if you need any help.
Good luck, T.
Alt 1 is the same thing as two separate PSUs; alt 2 requires a transformer with the correct secondaries. Not a huge big deal, just a requirement.
IMO the greatest danger about having 9VAC and 9VDC in the same unit is the human factor. Having them in separate housings would take up some more space, sure, but it would help at least a little against someone plugging your entire daisy chain of coveted vintage stompboxes into the AC line... Another solution is to just use a different type of plug. Which can be problematic if it means modifying off-the-shelf effects which you might decide to sell at some point.

..but in one box sharing mains and fuse - so is it one PSU or two PSUs? ;)

As a builder of the PSU and supply cables (if you would DIY supply unit you would probably DIY supply cables as well) you have some options, e.g. by having different plugs for AC and for DC on the PSU, by bold color codding of the cables, etc.

My pedalboard is pretty simple these days. Everything is 9VDC, except my Digitech Whammy II. That's why I'm asking about 9VAC.

the signal goes:

That's pretty sweet and simple !! What mods I'd you do to your sd-1? Why about your tr-2? I have both these pedals stock. I would mind getting imvolved in my pedals.

I like to keep it simple... Guitar->Pocket POD->Behringer Pitch Shifter/Chorus->Crybaby Wah.
No board at the moment.
Also, I need to ditch these mono 2m cables for some shorter stereo patches. Cry Baby is stereo right? First two pedals are.
EDIT: Used a smaller image.
no cry baby is mono... ;)
Is it? Damnit. If I was ever going to gig I'd make a switching pedal, but just cutting it out of the chain altogether will suffice.

Hey, just saw this ;)
the SD1 - i modded this so much, and so often that I can even remember what was done to it now - it ended up been used on bass
the TR has the internal trimmer for volume (i like my trem with a slight vol boost) and a rate indicator LED.
both pretty simple

I read about him in Gitarre&Bass, a German guitar and bass magazin. He is a guitar buddy of Bela B (a famous German Drummer) and also played with him live. This is the way I heard about him. And it is very cool to see some cheap cables on his board. ;D
I like the Demo the Beaver (demo sound killer). I guess it was a brilliant idea to add the tonestack to this "standard" fuzz. Very nice!
Also very nice to hear from you :P

Hey Chris!
It's really hard to find some good band members in my age and music style, espacially in Germany! We're playing Punk/Alternative Rock but I think I'm the onliest band member that likes Punk or alternative. You have to be happy with what you got.
I'm living in NRW (northrheinwestphalia or however it is called in English...) next to the ruhr area. In our town are living more than 80.000 people but not one punk rock guitarist that is in our age. So we have to run with one guitar in a rehersal room that is very small and you can't leave anything there if you don't want your equipment to get stolen.
Great link! Many interesting bands there! But I think it'll get very hard to become good enough... it's my first real band and there wasn't any gig yet. We don't have enough songs in the moment. But that's a really awesome offer! If you wanna have a crappy handy-recorded song by us, please PM me :) Don't think this song is so bad, but there are no leads because we ran lack of second guitarists. ;D
Are you playing in a band, too?

That is great David! Just don't quit playing. You need to be ready when the opportunity comes. I heard David Grohl still has a sign on his fridge that says 'Luck equals preparation and opportunity - Be Ready When It Comes!' Gary Schmalzl is a good example of what hard practice will do for you. I knew him when we all worked local crew at the rock shows when I lived in Berlin and look at him now. He was a great player back then but just hadn't the big chance yet.

Yup, I'll never give up! I pratice about 5 hours a day so... I think I might become a good guitarist some day, and in this days there will be a good chance...hopefully. But I don't need to get famous or whatever, I want to have fun and want to public my opinion with songs, but it's more awesome to play in front of 1000 people than in front of 10.

Dude unless you've got 2 amps, or two cabs, theres not a lot of point in sterio. In saying that, I know a few people that do this, and it's a good sound. Expecially when you split up the pickups, it eliminates any cross distortion between signals, makes it clearer, and with more depth. If you get what I mean. My tutor at jazz school uses a sterio jack out his acoustic, and the pickups ( SC neak, and peizo brige) are split left and right, which he sends to a diy passive tone control, and then into a sterio acoustic amp thats like 1400Watts or something. Think its designed for gat + vox for singer songwriters, but he uses the vocal channel for his other pickup.

I don't gig, currently use my fairly low-end Creative desktop surround. (a T6100) When running it out of the POD alone which has stereo out via a headphone jack, the reverb sounds a lot more "full", I assume it's using the stereo out to push a slightly different reverb out of each channel or something.

Oh right, I'm sorry I didn't mean to come across as rude! Reading my comment, looks a bit mean. I was up really late when i wrote that, and I don't think I wrote that exactly how I wanted. Yea that's cool. Could be a fun project, converting your wah to stereo!
Hi guys!
just finished this today, it's a little bit more portable than the other one I have and it has all the stuff I need
- wah is a Proel enclosure with a different ckt inside, probably a crybaby
- chorus is a Little Angel
- Overdrive, planned to be an LTD Silver, ended with a HW89!
- Crunch is a Crunch Box
working on that 3mm (seems like 10mm!!) bent aluminum sheet is really hard, all those diamond shapes to be flattened down, a PITA!!! , so after a couple of them, I gave up!!!!
then I had that Pandora PX4D laying around and I thought I could use it just with 4 presets
ampli simulator+cab simulator+Reverber
ampli simulator+cab simulator+Echo+Reverber
Echo+Reverber
Reverber
all in all I can have also a Tuner!!
Swich on the top is TB for the PX4D
- my wife helped me with the backside !!
- the foot print on the wah is also my wife idea/work !!!
- the wood is fir, badly painted on purpose with wood paint to let it look old!
there you go

Hey slacker, are you using a separate regulated DC output for your RC-2? Does it have any effect on pedal noise?
I've been neglecting mine lately cause of its high-pitched whine :icon_redface:
No, in this setup it's sharing a power supply with other pedals and it's quiet. Before I built the board I did have that problem and had to use a separate supply for the RC2 otherwise it whined. I even built the power supply for the board with two separate 7809 regulators in it so that I could run it off its own supply if necessary, but for some reason it didn't need it.
It is powered from the DC out on the TU-2, but as far as I know that's just a pass though, and it's the same powering it off the daisy chain instead.
Hmmm good to know... I'll play around my power supplies, see if it changes anything
Nice colour-coding, by the way!
time to bolt them down, I thought..

guitar goes to crybaby, then to tuner, to amp.
from the fx loop-to harmonist to chorus to delay, back to amp fx return
the funny looking four push button thing is a satelite for the Behringer harmonist, on/off, the "key" pot and three presets so I dont have to drop to the floor between songs or stomp on that plastic german wunder.
I still have some wireing to do, but thats minor work..
J
Nice, but why don't you rehouse the Behringer? Would save some space...
I like the the tape over the LED on the US600 - it is a bit bright isn't it? I do wonder if it's half the reason the thing destroys 9V batteries in about five hours. Best pitch shifter for anywhere near the price. Do you have a true bypass on that? I'm not sure but it sounds to me when I use mine as if the bypass still runs though the ADC->DAC and it actually makes an audible tone difference to my POD running straight into my line in then out to my speakers.

no, but since it sits in the loop too, it is not as cruical as it would be if it sat before the amp. ..by its nature it must be after any distortion. otherwise all you get is distorted cords and not harmonies, so for me, the bypass isn't a problem..

My latest pedalboard iteration. I've moved to a pseudeo-Eric Johnson kind of setup with an A/B switch between rhythm and lead effects chains feeding 2 channels on my '68 Showman. Most of the effects are DIY.
Signal Chain:
Fulltone Clyde Std. => T.C. Polytune => A/B Switch =>
A (rhythm) Chain (top): Klon Clone (Madbean Sunking) => Uniphase Phaser + Impulse Tremolo (Modded Phase 90 + E.A. Tremolo) => Boss PS-3 modded for true bypass => MXR Carbon Copy => '68 Showman Normal Channel
B (lead) Chain (bottom): Zen + Klon Clone (Madbean Serendipity + Madbean Sunking) => Reiterator Dual Analog Delay (dual Madbean Aquaboy builds) => '68 Showman Vibrato Channel

Just bought velcro today, been sitting on the board for a few months now tho. it goes tuner>buffer>orange squeezer>metal core>metal zone(modded)>DS1(modded)>octavia>zombie chorus>behringer space c>boss dimension c>boss bf2(modded)>crybaby(modded).
gonna remove the zombie chorus and metal zone when i get my echo base enclosure drilled. also have room for the madbean loophole which is almost done. trying to currently troubleshoot a kay tremolo housed in a morley wah pedal, and that will deff make it on the board. also have a magnus modulus awaiting drilling. not sure if that is gonna make it on this board or not. gonna try to squeeze my phase 90 clone on here as well when i can get the enclosure drilled lol.
the metal core is great for modern heavy metal, and the ds1 with the orange squeezer is great for just about anything else. the metal zone is designed for fast death metal, and is about all i need in that realm. it has an opa2134 in it, so every note is much more distinct and crisp than the other distortion pedals on this board. as i am designing this board for cover music, it doesnt really need to be here. i may move the dimension c and another wah onto the deathmetal setup, because the chorus can make soloing super creepy sounding. if i take it off of this board it will be replaced by either a little angel, or the screaming angel that is almost done
(little angel/tube screamer combo).
also have a DMM clone with parts on the way, and that may make it onto this board as well. also have an r2g2 pcb and a darkside pcb sitting here waiting to be populated. cant wait for the next time i post in this thread :icon_lol:
lastly, i have ludwig phase ii clone boards on the way. i think i am going to need to build a 2nd board for all this stuff.
So here's the new pedal layout. I decided to go back to pedals instead of keeping my GT-10, and this is what I'm gonna want. Routing is a pain in the @$$ but I'm using the 4 cable method with my Mesa Mark V for ULTIMATE TONE VERSATILITY! :icon_mrgreen:
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b27/ugly_guitar_guy/IMG_20111226_151625-1.jpg)
Still working the kinks out (the Flanger has an intermittent hum/buzz that I can't seem to track down, the mimi Trem is shorting with the baseplate on, and the Green Ringer/Ugly Frog buzzes with a power supply but not a battery). The two blank pedals will be a mini Orange Squeezer and an Echo Base by the end of next week.
Gonna be a crazy new pedal year!

That pedalboard looks familliar ... GORM ? :icon_mrgreen:
Exactly! i cut the depth down to 18" to fit my pedalboard case and put a 2x3 along the back with a 5 degree angle cut to give it a slant. I also put a diagonal brace underneath for support. Running out of space for power supplies though! This one is a puzzle for sure...

HOW in the world did you cut the depth down ???
Oh well , my gorm for now is unpainted , untreated and waiting to have a similar ikea rack to be sawn off partly when i get my rotary tool's cutting disc , stuck onto the bottom .

Just used my table saw. You can see the plank along the top is about half the depth of the rest. Simple rip cut, and it missed the nails!
Finally completed populating my Pedaltrain Mini that I got for Christmas! The RC-3 is offset so I can plug into the extra jacks if I want to.

I just finished this grab and go / rehearsal board tonight. I just use the PS-5 for detuned chorusing. Guitar Center had it on clearance for $85.
T.C. Polytune -> Tajidrive (Madbean Serendipity Zendrive Clone) -> Boss PS-5 (modified for true bypass) -> MXR Carbon Copy

Here's a recent version of my 'big' board that I did a jam gig with. Shame I always have to choose between either a wah or a volume pedal to fit on the board...Alternatively, since the wah is first in the chain, I could place it right next to the board...But that sorta defeats the point of a pedal board 8). Anyway, here goes:
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d154/rockhorst/pedalboard.jpg)
Stratocaster -> Real McCoy RMC 1 wah -> MXR Bass Octave Deluxe (yes, for guitar) -> AMZ Mini Booster -> MadBean Grapevine on 16V -> MadBean Mudbunny (muff, Russian spec) -> Korg DT-10 Tuner (also acting as a kill switch between songs and switching guitars) -> Carbon Copy. Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus mounted underneath.
The reason for the 16V on the Grapevine is because of the caps rating. It runs fine on 18V but I decided to be conservative, since there is no difference in sound between 16 and 18V (big difference from 9V though!). It runs on the two SAG controlled outputs of the Pedal Power that's mounted underneath.
Be aware: my boards change about every week ;)

Somebody failed to return my booster (and didn't return my calls) when I had to go gigging. So I rapidly threw together a new one with parts I had in stock. I was out of small boxes :icon_rolleyes: Hence...

I feel your dilemma :icon_mrgreen:
Finally finished my Pedaltrain Mini pedal board rig and feeling pretty satisfied with it! Here are updated photographs I shot this morning showing the top and bottom this time. I never had a real pedal board before. My biggest challenge was deciding on how and where to tie down the daisy chain power cable. I hope my wiring job looks neat and tidy.
(http://home.comcast.net/~snmavronis/topandbottom1024x1024.JPG)
Ok so this is a big board but im using everything on it atm for the few bands im playing with. Totaly rewired the power section and audio cables to correct lengths and made it the most versatile board ive ever had. I overcame the stage real estate problems of a large board by building the mic stand into the board. (can just be seen on one of the pics)

here's some pics http://nicofxpedals.blogspot.com/2011/11/mini-rat.html
Oh wow. You know what it is, I need to drill my jacks closer together haha. I'm too conservative with spacing on them.
updated. here is the new layout w/ a few changes....

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/Toomuchtherapy104/SAM_0091-1.jpg)
order is:
Tuner>
Buffer>
Orange Squeezer Compressor (Madbean)>
Octavia (Madbean)>
Metal Zone (OPA2134 in the distortion circuit, NE5532 as the main IC, upgraded internals, death metal mod)>
DS-1 (Fat Mod)>
Crybaby (True bypass w/ LED, red fasel, hotpotz II, Fat wah, a few internal component changes as well (mids/gain/inductor)>
DR Q (True bypass w/led, 2.1mm 9v plug, upgraded bass switch with LED, original vintage circuit dated to april 1981)>
Dimension C>
Flanger (Switched all internal caps to film, ring modulator mod, mod to make the res knob less metallic, green LED, upgraded op-amps, retuned internal trimpots)>
Echo Base (no tails, lfo always on, true bypass)>
Madbean's Loophole>
Orange Crush 10 (Upgraded all caps to film, OPA2134 op amp.... sounds FANTASTIC!!!)

Looking to buy a Jet City tube amp here soon. I would also like either a Telecaster or a PRS. Right now all I have is a Stratocaster HSS with Floyd Rose, Dean Vendetta 7-string with upgraded bridge, nut, tuners, and an active EMG at the bridge, and a stock ESP EC-1000 in Vintage Black w/ Gold.
Also trying to figure out how I am going to mod the DS1, and really only looking to add a Slow Gear, some sort of tremolo pedal, and the Ludwig Phase II to this setup.

HOLY SH!T But distortion pedals draw only 8mA .
that poor amp looks terrified!
That has got to be a Rep's board... that's the only person that could stand to look at that many Boss pedals without getting sick to his stomach. :icon_eek: It's like a Leper tried to Crunk and gave up and died in front of me.
I dig Boss, but there has got to be a couple pedals in there that are just for looks. :icon_lol:
It's from an arts exhibition. Is looking for link a link will edit later :)

DD20, Whammy, Big Muff, Small Clone and Stone. All those nice Pedals! Cool board :)
thanks man! took a long time to get them together, even longer to figure out how to put them in order ;)
After some careful consideration, this is the layout I decided to go with and wire up.
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b27/ugly_guitar_guy/2012-02-01_21-06-15_223.jpg)
It took me a while because of the goofy routing on the board (I prefer placement over routing). It goes:
TU-3 - Squeeze Me (orange Squeezer) -> NS-2 (NS-2 has Broverdrive/TS808 -> Ugly Frog/Green Ringer -> Cosmic Fuzz/Fuzz Factory in the send/return loop) -> GCB95 wah ->Wahsome (8 stage sequence wah currently in re-development) -> Amp input -> Amp Send -> MXR Flanger -> BOSS DC-3 -> BOSS PH-3 -> Trem Brule -> Echo Burst/Echo Base Delay -> BODD DD-3 -> Ego Boost/SHO -> Amp return
I have a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 and Signal Flex power supply running underneath the board. I've been using a GT-10 for a long time, so having all these pedals is going to be fun to play around with for a while. Can't wait to rock this bad boy!

Does it have a more "hairy" quality to it? Like more treble content?

Put this together over the past few months, cobbled a very temporary board together for a stint of gigs through April and will re-build a more permanent one when those gigs are done. The back tier particularly isn't high enough so that will be the main change!
Signal starts in the big box in the bottom right hand corner, and the chain is:
> Wireless or Cable in (these are on switched jacks, so if no cable is plugged in then the wireless signal is used - just means I can override the wireless with a cable in case of breakdown or for rehearsal without having to unplug the wireless!)
> Tuner Mute Switch (top right switch)
> Modified Ross Compressor clone on a toggle switch (very much an "always on" effect)
> Master bypass switch, inside of which is:
--> "Shape" Footswitch (a mid-cut with level control)
--> "Boost" Footswitch (EHX Mole clone, mainly used under guitar solos live)
--> Send Jack
----> Pearl OC-07 Octaver clone (Madbean)
----> Dirt box. First is a Fulltone Bassdrive Mosfet clone with a clean blend, without the extra switches, second is an NYC Big Muff clone with clean blend, variable mids switch and a High Pass Filter on the output of the dirt side. Both sound good on their own, sounds mega one into the other!
----> MXR Phase 90 clone with rate LED (pointless but fun), depth knob, gain knob, and a three-way switch to control the feedback.
----> Boss CE-2B clone without the level knob (I always had it on full anyway) - Madbean
--> Return Jack, back to Master Bypass Switch
> Boss CE-2B clone without the level knob and on a toggle switch (again, "always on" effect with the depth and rate about 10-11 o'clock) - more Madbean
> BBE Sonic Maximiser-esque clone on a toggle switch (still getting to grips with this, less is more is definitely the case with this one!!!) - more Madbean
> SFX Sounds Micro Thumpinator
> Amp
The space between the Phaser and the Thumpinator is there for testing pedals as and when I build new ones. Bass-oriented Rat is next for that spot. Still fine tuning a few things on there, the mid-cut switch needs a bit of tweaking as it's a bit too severe at the minute, but it's getting there!!! Overall very happy with it and looking forward to getting it out to a few gigs in the next few weeks!

May take out the super shifter. Also going to add a bypass looper for my wah so it can be in a more convienient spot. The morley wah on the board has been converted to a kay tremolo.
I need to figure out why my ds1 sounds like crap compared to my buddies stock one. His has tons more crunch and gain then I have every heard in one.
Also......running into a new amp.....

i hate you.
:P
beautiful.
I'm not so ashamed now... it was just calling out to me. I literally just drooled on myself, lol. I've been playing with Joe's Shocktave all day, getting it tracking better on Bass, so my brain waves are probably working in PWM by now. :icon_lol:
an octave below where they should be - yeah, i know that feeling! :P
Yeah its the Korg Kaoss pad KP3, pretty cool.
I had a KP1 but it broke. I think they are all pretty good. If you dont need the sampling and stuff, then a mini KP is probably a good bet.
Will get a makeover soon but for now... The board is made from an old BBQ. ;D

EHX should put some lacquer over stickers...
I owned the same pedal and damn!It was full of scratches!
Hi folks, I'm new here. Seemed more appropriate to introduce my pedalboard than myself. There's a lot of boss stuff on there at the mo, but I have a few home made things that will be pushing their way on there in the near future. The board sits in my studio, so the heavyweight timber is not an issue.

Those are Cloudscapes' own pedals. Lots of sequence, glitch, trem, delay stuff. Search through his posts or check out his blog: http://soniccrayon.blogspot.com/
Middle row, right - looks like a tremulus lune.

Not that your board is strange... just that it's unexpected to see that pedal (which I haven't seen in well more than a year) turn up again.

Thanks!
I got it on Ebay from some shop in Nevada I think, when I got it someone had cranked the LED brighness trimmer all the way up (blinding!) and the effected volume/vs bypass was off. When I opened the back, I saw musicpcb.com on the board, which helped me find the build PDF to fix the problems, and that actually got me interested in making my own DIY FX.
The pedal is working great BTW, once I re-adjusted the trim pots inside. I use it all the time.

Cool story! Think I'll have to wait another decade for something similar. All I know is that one of my pedals ended up in Indonesia...He was migrating there and left all his music gear behing...except one guitar, one amp and my pedal!
New to the forum. Here is my latest board. Still a few tweaks to get it done.

Goes something like this.
in the tuner to the loop master
loop 1: Wah
2: Dirt, Blakemore Fuzz(gold and black) Lovepedal Provalve, Lovepedal COT(early hand built)
3: A/DA Flanger with EXP. Pedal( NOt a reissue)
4: Blakemore 2 stage boost( like a Super Hard on) Really put there for the Flanger to off set volume loss.
5: Trem, Reverb, Delay, Chorus. Haven't totally hammered this loop out yet. still fussing with the order of things.
All out to the Lehle sunday driver, which just make everything sound better.
Power is by two Pedal Power 2 Plus.
Love the COT killer pedal and signed by Sean. Just got the Flanger, Buddy was hard up for cash. The Blakemore stuff is all new too, done by a guy who lives by me. the chorus took some time to set up, It gets very,
almost weird sounding. Vibe/vibrato like. His Fuzz is Muff like with a couple trick features. It has a blend knob like a Sparkle Drive and a Mid boost. He is working on a new fuzz for me now, something 2 stage thats gnarly. More like Devi's Ruby fuzz with a more
usable volume control. will see.

All DIY guitar board!
Chain:
Meatball clone with Fuzz built into loop > Germanium fuzz face (bass friendly mod) > Flatline optical compressor > Tremulus Lune tremolo > Rebote 2.5 delay pedal > SansAmp GT-2 amp sim
Once I finally get a real guitar amp I will swap out the amp sim and put down a Big Cheese clone that I have as well. Will probably keep that as a "need one distortion box" pedal.

How do you like the SuperEgo?? I would love to hear you using that with your pedals. :D
This is my pedalboard at the minute, a couple of duplicate pedals on there. I use the 2 bluesdrives but ethe second overdrive is on there because i have just built it for a friend and it was being tested.

Thanks for the compliment..Those dimpled enclosures are electrical outlet boxes i got from the hardware store.
i've thought about using some of those but i'd need to drill where the "punch-outs" are and i just wasn't too sure how they'd hold up. they're nice and deep though so there's plenty of room in there. glad to see someone has found a use for them.
Been building many pedals already which resulted these 3 boards

Have a great weekend all!
the preamp from Marshall JCM2000 powered be a nixie supply( the whole board runs off a single 9volt supply such 1spot or similar), coupled up with some inexpensive behringer boxes and a carvin wha I had laying around( after changing the pot, its quite good)..all I need is a cab and a poweramp and I'll allways have my sound.. ;D
(http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=47953&g2_serialNumber=2)
and some sounds.. http://www.aronnelson.com/DIYFiles/up/pedalboardtest.mp3 I do like the Ultrashifter for those harmonies at the end.
this was recorded straight into computer using a cabsim from line6 ampfarm

Mostly DIY. Lots of sonic possibilities and loads of fun!
Question: this is a board I'm building for a friend and it's going to see heavy gigging. It's held together mostly by wood glue, which I know is incredibly strong. Should I 'secure' it with screws as well?

Most definitely. The glue will almost certainly crack over some time of heavy gigging. A row of tack strip on the sides couldn't hurt either.
Thanks HYSH, I put in some screws. Here's the finished board. The cheapo power supply is 'sunk' into the board. The other pedals are just to gauge it's size (50 cm x 38 cm), except the Morley, that's in the right spot.

It is probably a good idea, mostly because it doesn't look like the glue joints are great, there is no mechanical joint, and most importantly because they are all cross grain joints, which have much less strength than parallel long grain joints. If you really wanted it to hold up with just glue, you should have half lapped the joints, or something similar. As it is, I'd use counter sunk screws and cap the counter bores with matching hardwood plugs.

See the switches you have used for your custom up/down pedals, what is the correct name for this type of pedal and/or where would I get some? I need four for my new build because you've just given me a great idea
Wow, that brings back memories! The UP/DOWN footswitch comes with the V-Amp, it's not custom. Those are actuators that press on regular microswitches and I've seen them in a lot of multieffects and controllers. Couldn't tell you where to buy them from, though. Sorry.
Similar switches are used in many Line6 pedals, M9 and M13 for example. There's a guy who replaces them with higher quality switches, maybe he could sell you see used parts. I can't find the link to his website, but google will help...
so I'm dropping all my current projects (except a few builds) so I can finish an album. it seems I ALWAYS have something I want to do that will eat my free time, and for years I've had this idea of what I want to do, along with a few rough tracks. I'd half ass some work on it occasionally but "projects" always got in the way. none of that, now. my weekends and part of my evenings will now belong to this.
moved my setup to right behind my computer, so I can track.

-DAM Meathead with AMZ Super Buffer, which is always on.
-Snow White Auto Wah
-Really Cheap Compressor & Guyatone Zoom Distortion
-Rose Screamer
-CE-2 Chorus
-Phase 90
-Echo Park
-Jamman Solo XT
-FA-1
The Super Buffer has a second output that's connected to the Lehle P-Split. The P-Split's direct output feeds the tuner, the isolated output can be used for direct recording or it goes through a volume pedal and a Verbzilla (Octo mode) to a second amp to produce an ambient sound independent from the main signal.
The big shot looper is not yet connected, I'll use it between the drive and the modulation pedals. One loop for a Whammy 4, one for variying other pedals.
Occasionally, I'll add a Vox Wah (switchable to Kay Fuzztone) before the Meathead.
All those extra pedals sit on another little board. This way, I have a small board for 90% of the time and a simple way to expand it if needed.
The main board is big enough to include a simple looper like the Harley Benton FXL4 or Moen GEC438 or GEC9, if the tuner and the footswitch for the jamman are moved to the top of the power supply (a Fame DCT-200).
I used a case myde by Thon, that was made for a Pod HD500. HarNorth cables, Hicon jacks and Duotec tape, which is much better than velcro.

Bought a machined body, and swirled it myself. It replaced the body of my RG570. Other mods were Motherbucker pups + coil cuts, rails single in the middle, treble bleed mod, multi color Sperzel locking tuners (to match the swirl colors), and JEM knobs.
Swirling it was a pain, lots of trial and error. I finally got it just right, and I will never do another one, ever again. Never. BLA! :icon_lol:
Do you have a closer picture of it? I'm sorry, I have always wanted a JEM. My dream guitar. Here's me swirling my RG470.

Same here. I have made and owned tons of pedals, but never made a proper board. I just play in my room so there's really no need for it. I just choose the effects I want for that session and set them up on the floor.
I know what you mean. I haven't played in a band situation since high school when I had two pedals. A Metal Zone, a Ibanez phaser and also a Art rackmout multi FX I used for delay. Maybe a wah a few times. I need a gig somehow, now.
Coffee shops. They are always looking for live music. You don't even need to be good. The only ''gig'' I've ever had was playing some ambient with a friend on 420. :icon_mrgreen:

I also have a PT-2 and PT-Mini, but I don't have photos of those currently.
Great boards. I love the excessive use of DMM on the big board :)
Thanks. Agreed that two DMMs is totally excessive.
FWIW, one of them is the MN3005, one is v3205.
Nice work, Pickdropper!

Hi guys - thought I'd post in this thread, now that my pedalboard is complete. Built the last pedal today. Every pedal on here is a self build, apart from the tuner and DI. I've also used a few different methods of making cases from scratch - wooden sided, folded aluminium and a custom welded sloped case. My personal faves are the Hot-Chilli booster with the red led ring and transparent knob, and the wooden sided booster with diamond etched paisley detail. I have closeups of all the individual pedals if anyone wants to see more - although I'd maybe have to post them in a different forum thread?
Cheers,
Dan
Great work Dan, much uniqueness! Be sure to post pictures of individuals in the 'Pictures' thread. Nicely done!

Here's my current set-up:
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1767893/IMAG1632.jpg)
Korg Pitchblack > DOD 280 Opto-compressor (UK-Elec kit) > Distortion + (Musikding kit - one of my first builds) > Timmy > SHO > Bypass looper (under the board) which can allow me to plug my VP Jr in after the drive section > Tap tremolo (UK-Elec kit) > NUX Time Force delay > Dead Astronaut Reverb
Underneath is a Harley Benton PowerPlant Jr, except the delay, which needs 300mA so has its own plug.
Yep, that's John Calvin on the Altoids tin.. cause it's for "picks"... get it?
Affinity Tele with GFS NeoVins into a Bugera V5.
Oh, and I built the actual board as well - fits in a 20€ hardcase I got at the local hardware store. It's a bit smaller than I'd like, but the plus side is that it makes me think hard about what I need on there, and how to make the most of it.
The cables I make myelf too.. Sommer Cable and 1€ plugs, which I find to be swolid and fairly compact. I do drill a 1mm hole in the negative strip to make it easier to solder the cable.
That "Nux Time Force" looks interesting. Never heard of it before... How do you like it?
@Pickdropper
Was just wondering what jacks those are? I was just about to put an order in for some of those right-angled pancake style ones but the ones you have there could be a serious contender.

Are you referring to the plugs on the patch cables?
If so, they are George L solder less plugs. Convenient, but I am beginning to hate them as the connections fail faster than soldered connections. If I can find a small form factor soldered plug I like, I will probably get rid of them.

Do you have an opinion on the differences? I have some v3205s that I want to use and I am in need of a delay currently. :-\

Well, everybody seems to hate the v3205s and love the MN3005s. I must be the only person that has had two problem-free v3205 builds.
But here are my notes/opinions:
1.) Biasing the v3205 (at 9V) is MUCH harder than biasing the MN3005 (at 15V). I thought each build was broken...until it wasn't.
2.) Once the bias is good, the v3205 actually sound pretty good. The MN3005 have slightly more headroom, but the DMM isn't the cleanest delay anyway.
Overall, I don't think the v3205 sound bad. If you have MN3005, build with those, but don't give up the effect just because you need to build it with v3205.

Currently using this. Put the trogg (Cavedweller) in purely to connect two patch cables originally, but it's a brilliant little ambient delay in it's own right. The 40% is a Cosmopolitan with a MP38A, and the one next to it is a LaVache (love that OD, love it to pieces.)

Don't get me wrong, but that's both impressive and a little disturbingly good well made.
I don't have a pedal board, they just sit in on a shelf unconnected. ;Maybe I'll take a picture.

The sweedish long legged man for sure...
Thanks guys. I appreciate all the positive vibes.
I put this together pretty roughly, mostly because I had some things I wanted to play around with while fixing my good amps. The signal chain goes; Strobostomp, Wah (which is doing some funky things, and I'm going to need to do some work on it, but it is true bypass so I just leave it turned off), then into the big black MIDI Switcher (Jim Kim's Looper (http://www.jimkim.de/html/guitar02_01.htm)), which is for the (in order) Orange Squeezer, SHO, Big Muff Pi, and the Tremulus Loon (the other four functions on the looper are set up for my Leslie and some things on my amp, which I'm not using right now). After the Looper, it goes into the Turbo Overdrive, the volume pedal, the Boss Loop Station (RC-20XL), and then the TC Electronic Chorus/Flanger turns things into Stereo for the delays. The DD-20 is doing pretty clean standard rhythmic delays (quarter notes, dotted eighths, etc.), then the Carbon Copy is on the left side and the DM-3 on the right (slightly different times on them, so the stereo image is a bit chaotic, and if you then turn on the modulation on the Carbon Copy, well, it sounds pretty cool, but I'm still playing around with it). The Timeline does all the chaotic, distorted, and damaged delays that it does so darn well (I do love the Ice and Lo-Fi settings!) That will, whenever I get around to playing with it, also provide another way to do loops. After the Timeline, it goes into a stereo Tiny Giant amp (the two sides of which are pretty seriously out of balance, but I never need it at full volume anyway, so....) Power is coming from a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2+ and a Pedal Power Iso-5, so everything is dead quiet. :) I'm probably going to build a little 5 switch MIDI CC# board to run the Timeline's looper in the next week, using a Highly Liquid MIDI CPU to make it easy.

That's nice. I like the riser in the back section.
Very nice board, G. I'd love to see a demo. Do you have anything running as a clean preamp, or are your running bare-naked clean into the TGs?

I'm still just starting to figure it out, so no demo. Of course, all those Boss effects have buffers, but other than that it is straight to the TGs. So far, though, I've always got at least the SHO or the compressor going (if not both!) I'm probably going to have to come up with a preamp of some sort if I don't get my tube amps going soon, though, as the dry signal is pretty weak.

I gotta say, though, the Tiny Giant is one heck of a nice sounding clean amp, for those really pristine bright cleans that transistors can occasionally pull off! I spent a couple hours playing around after I sent my nephews home tonight (we watched the Doctor Who 50th special, which was Fantastic!!!!), and that puny little amp does take effects and the build up of delays really nice. And stacking all those delays sounds HUGE!!!!!!

Wow...there are some great boards in this thread. I'm jealous of the minis. Here's what I'm using as of this weekend:

New Pedal Day Sparkle on November 27. My new 2013 limited edition DOD Phasor 201 and DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 vintage reissue pedals arrived at my house! Thanks to Tom/Digitech for surprising me by sending these out well before they go retail probably in late December. He called me a "Keeper of the Flame" for being such a big fan of the '79 grey spec DOD 250 and thought it was only right I should have the new versions of these vintage classics. What a great guy and company for doing this. Thanks Tom for all you do. I love the metal flake finish. The 250 really looks much better in person than in photos and shines like gold. The new 250 sounds fantastic, just like my 741 OD 'gray spec' clone with a nice thick bottom end and midrange tone! The Phasor is really interesting as I've never used that effect before. I didn't think they could improve on the '79 grey 250 but this new '13 gold DOD 250 Overdrive is the real deal. The Phasor 201 is going to be a great effect to have. Now I'm oozing in vintage mojo and gushing a bit. This new 'gold 250' is a clone killer!
My Pedaltrain Mini can only fit 5 pedals so I'm thinking of doing this new arrangement:
Fender Strat w/YJM-Fury > Boss NS2 Noise Suppressor > NS2 Send > MXR Dyna Comp > DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 > NS2 Return > NS2 Output > VHT Special 6 Ultra Combo Amp Input > Amp Send > DOD Phasor 201 > MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay > Amp Return
I'd need to get a new Dyna Comp (probably for Christmas) to complete the configuration I want and offload the Boss RC-3 because I really don't use it that much. Also I seem to be losing the novelty of using clone pedals in my rig, even the ones I had built for myself! Feels weird at the moment. I'm keeping them though for playing through my Line 6 Toneport GX computer interface when I don't feel like disturbing the peace with my tube practice amp.
So here's my current pedalboard layout since getting the new DOD pedals. Everything sounds pretty good together! I like minimalist rigs.

Oh my sides! That sounds like a Steven Wright joke. :icon_lol:
You should put a piezo or seven on that thing and connect it to a bunch of different effects and record it! :D
Oh I intend to ;D With room mics picking up both the gong and the amp, it sounds like this:

Fretzburner - the colour burst finish on some of your pedals is great!
For Christmas my family got me the MXR CSP202 Custom Comp that i was asking for so I rearranged my Pedaltrain Mini order to fit it in by removing my Boss RC-3 Loop Station until I get a PT-1 or something larger.

This board is intended for both clean and dirty amp connection, 1 cable out for clean amp config while 3 cables for clean/dirty config hence 3 in-out jacks.

The pedal set-up is yet to be determined, but at this moment the board consists of my diy Wah, Pitchblack, OCD-clone, BJF Honey Bee, G2-clone, MP Phaser, Deep Blue Delay -clone and the memory man. Pink extension cord was a happy find from my local hardware store.
My small 5 pedal board keeps evolving in subtle ways. I used to have a script era Dyna Comp clone on it that I built after my grey DOD 250 clone I made a few years ago. Then this past Fall I got a new limited edition DOD 250 and 201 Phasor. For Christmas I asked for the MXR Custom Comp. Then I ended up missing my own DIY custom grey spec 250 overdrive clone and put that back along with my Boss looper pedal.

Did you ever post any pictures or details of how you modded the zoom to tap into the selector knob? I love the idea and have been thinking about doing this for my MS-60B.

I hear you get a more "crunchy" distortion if you put pedals on cheeto's :D
Who's been messing with your pedals settings?!?!

Ahah thank you all, yeah cheeto drives are crunchy! :D Oh, pedal settings were ramdomized somehow :D ah, yes, i remember now... when i took the photo i had just played with the white noise gen (he needs extreme settings)...
I also forgot to explain what pedals they are! The white one is a white noise generator, then there is the War Pig, a tube screamer (modified for bass guitar), then the Schroed's Cat, a green russian big muff, a super chorus and a Rebote Delay 2.5....

My first DIY-pedalboard had an orange carpet with the text 'Holland,Hup!' on it. I'm the polar opposite of a football-fan, but after Holland lost the world-cup those carpets where the cheapest available.
GiulioGratz's looks so much better with the fluffy Barbarella rug look. (talking about the spaceship here.)

Crossfire tuner into a DD size box consisting of a Mictestors Really Cheap Compressor (with bass values) on vero, Madbean Sprout one knob fuzz etch, into Paulinthelabs NE-1 bass preamp on vero, into a THC line driver pcb that gives me a balanced out. All powered by a Joyo pedal power battery thing.

Once I finally get a real guitar amp I will swap out the amp sim and put down a Big Cheese clone that I have as well. Will probably keep that as a "need one distortion box" pedal.

And are you satisfied with the JOYO portable power supply ? How long is its autonomy ?

Quickly, here's mine - not very high class, but...
It is made in a generic chinese tool suitcase, and my friends call it "la valise à pédales" :icon_lol:
Nonetheless, it is quite compact considering the number of pedals, and when you put the suitcase cover (which is the bottom, in fact), this become a small "suitcase" fly-case...

I'm pretty happy with it, and I haven't run it flat in a gig yet, but I haven't run it very hard either. I'd definitely recommend it for small boards. The good thing about it is that if it runs flat, you can plug the charger into it and power your pedals that way (it won't charge the joyo though until the pedals are diconnected, but you'll get through the gig).
Certainly it works well for the 4 effects on that board.

Hi peterg, thanks. it's a DIY board made by my friend, it's very light but I'm not sure what type of wood though, he added a red tolex for the finish. I also asked him to attached an i/o locking jacks and AC socket at the right side of the board. Underneath the board, I have a DIY sonic stomp pedal that is ON all the time.
Thanks for the info!

This is my new custom pedalboard. It is pine with a walnut stain. I built it to have a small compartment to hide the cables and the power cord. I can open it up by pulling the nails on each side (they are nice and snug) and then opening the hinged panel. I would update the design slightly by making the hinged compartment slightly bigger. My measurements were off somewhere and the compartment is about 1/8th of an inch to narrow. If it were slightly wider I could turn the Caline pedal sideways and then hide one inside the compartment and then close the top down.

The next update that is still in progress will be a top slips over the pedals and gets pinned down (like the nails holding the current lid) that will protect the pedals during transport. This was one afternoon of building and about $32 total in supplies (2' of 1"x12" pine for the bottom, 1"x2" sides and back, 3/4"x3" poplar for top, small hinges with screws and one roll of pedalboard tape). I had the tools, sandpaper and stain. Little rubber feet will be added to the bottom at some point.

I've got a gig coming up where foot space is likely to be at a premium so I put together a small pedalboard for the occasion. As it's likely to be used quite regularly, I thought I'd bling it up a bit by using some 10mm black acrylic I had laying around. This stuff cuts easily but if you want a smooth glossy edge, you have to sand the edge flat then go to it with a flame. You're meant to use a very hot burning gas but I managed ok with a mini flame torch and some patience. The edges will expand if they're not sandwiched between metal flats. I used 3mm alluminium which was effective then buffed the edges. Looks good - to a blind man on a galloping horse.
Added some blue led's to the front running off DeadAstro's simple sound to light circuit housed in a box underneath. Pedals in order are Tuner, Compressor, Vox 810, Spitfire, Zendrive/SHO, PT80 delay, Chasm reverb, Ditto looper. Also has a switch for the graphic on my amp and the whole thing runs on a daisy chained 1 spot power supply.
Riser hides the cables underneath so it all looks quite neat BUT. Acrylic generates static. Static attracts dust. Black shows up dust. This thing is going to look rubbish pretty quickly. Maybe I should build 1590a versions of everything and start again...

There are coatings used for ESD-sensitive areas that go on as a clear liquid but dry to a clear solid that is conductive enough to mitigate the dust problem. I have a sample-size jug of Staticide Acrylic that would be a good addition to your board.
Thanks for the info Ron, ACL Staticide appears to be available in the UK - I'll give it a try
So: Tuner, Brian May Treble Booster, SHO (one, the other, TB into SHO via rotary), Zendrive or Englishman, Plexidrive, Porkbarrel CE-2, Deep Blue Sea w/Tap, Rubadub, Klon buffer (split to 1/4 output), Bloviator, Lart's Simplecabsim, split to 1/4 and XLR outputs via THC Linedriver. Powered by a Joyo Pedal Power battery thing.

DIY Pedalboard for DIY Pedals. :D
I like your use of a laptop bag, hadn't thought of that before but makes a lot of sense considering the size of the average pedal.
Hi All,
My first post!
I too have a laptop-bag setup. I actually made the board first, and then later realized it was a perfect fit for an old laptop bag that I already had. The board is made from two pieces of laminate wood flooring "snapped" together lengthwise and screwed into some hand-cut angled boards on the side. It's a bit hack, but it's actually pretty strong and very light weight and only as big as necessary :icon_smile:

Not a whole lot of DIY on here - a mark IV Tone Bender clone, and a couple MIDI splitters/buffers of my own design (nothing tough, just a spec MIDI input and a buffer chip - it's all right out of the MIDI spec, and all I did was draw up the board). Between the two boards there are 5 Voodoo labs power supplies, which is absurd.
Most of it is pretty conventional, chain wise, though everything is MIDI switched. Dry amp stuff goes through a couple of Voodoo Lab Hex switchers, and a Shur buffer isolates the dry amp with a very nice transformer.
The most interesting part is the wet amp stuff, which starts with a pair of RJM Mini Effects Gizmos (MEG) in stereo. After switching the TC Chorus, those send in parallel to the left and right Carbon Copy's, the Flashback II (in mono, for now, but going to both sides), and the Timeline. Those delays are all wet only, and get combined with a dry send from the MEG's by an RJM Mini Line Mixer. Out from there to the Volante, RV-500 and the Vertigo tremolo.
The only other kinda unique thing is the Disaster Area Smart Clock, which sends MIDI clock to keep every thing in sync, when I want it. Oh, and I have a MIDI controlled volume before the Shur Buffer, but after all the gain stuff, and then a wet volume pedal right before the looper, and then everything goes out through the Goodwood Output TX, which handles isolation, buffering, and phase for the wet amps.
If you are assuming it is good for ambient stuff, you are right. If you are assuming that's all it does, you are very wrong.

@Willybomb - what's inside Biyang reverb?? what are they using for reverberation? I'm really curious:)
Apparently they use a chip of which I only found datasheets in chinese, part of the info is in Latin letters, it's the BDNC BD3201-14a. it is a reverb engine, probably can be used as a chorus and delay, and actually Biyang only uses the "hall, spring, room"options and it has a lot more, http://www.datasheet-pdf.com/PDF/BD3201-14A-Datasheet-BDNC-785911 I'm actually trying to mod a RV-12 but havent found much info, theres also a chip that has no label, completely blank, seems like a clock or maybe even another delay module like the PT2399, not sure, uses 3 OPAMPs a transistor, maybe for output, not sure, and two other ICs...will post pics of the guts... i would looooove to override the main engine and make it do more stuff, but dont know anything about that, i originally wanted to add bass because it seems to drop a little bit of body out of the main input, but i was thinking if adding a capacitor in the "wrong" place i think it will add sustain or distortion on top of adding bass frequencies so im really thinking about stuff here.

The lockdown finally gave me time to update my pedalboard:
(https://i.postimg.cc/BLSfsG59/MG-7538.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/BLSfsG59)
And since Hackaday is running a new competition, I started a comprehensive write-up on their project reference platform: https://hackaday.io/project/171661-zero-budget-pedalboard
(https://i.postimg.cc/s18qvSnc/Pedalboard-1.png) (https://postimg.cc/s18qvSnc)
This is my Pedalboard, no really big changes over the last years.
It starts with the volume pedal, it's the basic Rocktron HEX volume/expression pedal. I only used it as a volume pedal, so I removed the expression socket after a few years and replaced it with a minimum volume pot. Now the volume goes from full on down the the leven you set with the pot.
Next thing in the signal chain (down right) is a simple opamp buffer, a linear nearly boost (just adds a bit low end) and the channel section for the amp in one box.
The buffer is on most of the time, cause about thirteen meters of cable is a long way! There's a switch, but I not really turn it off.
The booster is a nice thing for some bluesy licks and thicker tones, and also a great addon for the other drives.
The channel selection is...yeah, just a basic channel selection, nothing more. I don't want a single small box with a button, so I added it to the box.
The next thing (down left) is a combination of overdrive and distortion, distortion comes first.
The distortion is a really harsh and fuzzy thing, but with not too much gain. A real basic fuzz circuit with a BC327-40 and a BC547B. It can be really loud und heavy, but I tend to run it on lower levels.
The overdrive is a classic TS9 on 18 volts (like everything on this board).
(https://i.postimg.cc/bstMbJWj/Pedalboard-2.png) (https://postimg.cc/bstMbJWj)
From the lower row it goes to the upper row, to the upper left box. This is a mute, A/B or insert box. It all depends on if you plug something in and what jack you use. It's an insert loop with a true bypass switch and a switching TRS socket.
If nothing is plugged in, it's just a simple mute box, so you can kill your signal what goes out to the amp.
With a TS plug it's a A/B box, you can choose between the amp output and the output on the special socket (like on the photo, I recorded some acoustic guitar through the DI box).
With a TRS plug it turns into an effect loop. With basic pinout, tip for send and ring for return.
The blank box on the upper right is patch box for everything. Amp out with a simple TS socket, channel switching with a TRS socket. My amp have the channel on the ring and the solo on the tip, but I don't use the solo. I also have short tip/ring exchange adapter and a TRS/TS adapter in my gig bag, if I need to play on other amps.
The Power supply connection is a 3 pin XLR. Yeah, I struggled a lot with "What happens if someone think that's a mic connection?" I decided to put the female socket on the pedal board, so no one will think it's a DI out or something like that. And if someone accidently plug the mic to an unpowered pedal board...yeah, absolutly nothing willl happen.
I feed the box with 24Vdc from the power supply, and the voltage regulation brings it down to 18Vdc. So if I lost one or two volts on the way from the power supply to the box, it doesn't really care. The two red LEDs on the side show the state of the 24V and the 18V. And yes, I also have an adapter from XLR to the basic 5.5/2.1mm socket, if I need to use another power supply. My supply never left me alone for all these years, but it's always nice to have the option.

Power consumption is about 100mA, cause the LEDs are always on. They only change the color from blue to red, if I turn on something. For me this is the easiest way to overlook the whole thing.
And yeah, it's a boost, a drive channel, a drive and another drive...cause.........it's punkrock! :icon_mrgreen: No big special sounds, just loudness in different ways :)
Having had my gear in storage for nearly a year, getting it out again was of course an excuse to go through a multitude of combinations to set up a board. This is what I've ended up with for this board ( I have 2 others, a Hendrix type set-up and a more fuzz/noise oriented one - yet to complete). this one is for classic rock, blues and a bit of shoegaze type stuff.
Signal Chain is: Boss FA1 clone (always on), standard Vox GCB95 Crybabay, Dynacomp clone (Keeley mods), Workhorse (Harald Sabro's Klone a like),Champion Fuzz (B&M Champion Fuzz/Tonebender clone), Guyatone Chorus Box (CE 2 clone I think?), Phazex (Coloursound Phazex/P90 with mods probably suggested by Mark H), Digitech, Obscura Delay and finally Bajamans' Trembulator optical Tremolo.
Power supply is a Nordel Audio Powercore, there is a 12v gate unused, so maybe squeeze something else on. Home use only, don't gig anymore so the set-up isn't critical for tap dancing blind. I'll tidy the leads and make correct length patch cords now that I have finalised the set up.
