First Pedalboard - Photos

Been playing for many years. Just got into the idea of doing a pedalboard in the past year and quickly built my collection. And there are more on the way (Skreddy Lunar Module, Lovepedal 200 lbs, BJFE Model R) . . . I'm addicted.

It still isn't complete as I need to get the remaining pedals, decide which ones will stay on the board, and make a few more Lavacable ELC patches. The board was modified for the Pedal Power (underneath) and I made custom power cables and instrument cables to length. It's a lot of work, but fun.

The looper has all the ODs, distortions, and fuzzes in loop 1, all the time-dependent effects on loop 2, and the boost/buffer on loop 3. The last loop allows me to kick the buffer and/or boost in and out - very useful.

Enjoy the photos:

 

Exactly. It also has a few other purposes . . .

1) If I just want to go straight into the amp for a while, the master takes all the effects out of the loop. Even though they're all TB, there's still a little loss from all those connections and the extra length.

2) It allows me to turn on and off any effect from Loop 1 and Loop 2 at the same time. I could either use the master button to do this or tap both loop 1 and loop 2 at the same time since they're close enough to get them both at the same time.

3) With the Moollon boost in loop 3, I can get a lot of functionality:
a) Keep the Moollon off and use the looper as a buffer on/off
b) Keep the looper on and use the moollon as a boost of/off, which means the buffer is always on
c) Keep the Moollon on and use the looper as a boost on/off with TB always the default

The looper takes up a bit of real estate, but they are extremely useful.

 

There's going to have to be a rotation. I'm thinking about getting a second Pedaltrain2 in a soft case (the hard case is HEAVY) for the overflow.

 

Guitar -> Wah (external) ->

Loop 1

KOTB -> Sunface -> Eternity -> Freakshow Fantastique -> Lunar Module -> Mayo

Loop 2

Tremolessence -> Moon -> Memory Lane

Loop 3

Moollon Boost

Of course, the tuner is out of the loop.

Things will change, I'm sure, since I have a the Karl to deal with, as well as the stuff on the way. I don't stack effects much so order within the loops isn't super critical for me.
