Bigwan Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 [quote name='Bearfist' timestamp='1455108472' post='2975936'] Back to using a board rather than the rack, think i'm settled although a B7K Ultra is a possibility? [attachment=212026:IMG_2472.JPG] [/quote] What size board is that? Pedaltrain mini or metro something or other? Quote

Rik (ESA) Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Current board... I use about 5 effects for a total of around 30 seconds throughout a 2 hour set so got the zoom and noose to cover that. MXR is next to get replaced, suggestions for a preamp with built in dirt as a second channel that doesn't scoop your mids as standard? If anyone is on the lookout for a cheap and cheerful power supply, I highly recommend the power plant from Thomann, total bargain at under £30. Quote

operative451 Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 The finalised (probably) [url="http://www.facebook.com/rikmayallmarathonevents/"]Rikcon[/url] board... [attachment=212469:IMG_20160214_163936(2).jpg] Fairly simple but seeing as it has to be Pulp, The Shadows and Queen among others it took a while to get sorted! And the 'Ok, sod it, everything - can we put wheels on it?' board. Just to play with and because my occasional upstairs neighbour thinks 2am is dubstep time!

Stylon Pilson Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 For many years, I was a tuner-only kind of guy. Then one day there was an overdrive. And a few years after that, a chorus. Last summer it got to the point where at every gig and rehearsal I was having to set up four pedals, and I thought "well, time for a board." I've now finally managed to get to the point where I consider version 1 of my pedalboard to be complete. Using EBS PCF-10 cables for connecting, which is why those three pedals on the left (chorus, overdrive, fuzz) can get so snug together. Here's a snap of its bum: That's a Warwick Rockboard Power LT XL in the bottom left. No longer do I need to find a place to plug in, nor worry about hum. My only disappointment is that it doesn't actually have a power button, so you need to unplug it when you're not using it, which is a fiddle. It's also slightly thicker than I'd like - it doesn't quite fit snugly into the cavity underneath, but thanks to the additional height of the pedalboard's feet, it still doesn't touch the ground. What's next? Find a way to secure that power supply more securely. Maybe replace all that velcro on the underside with self-adhesive cable tie anchors. And of course, try out new pedals. S.P. Quote

Sibob Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Thought I'd have a little experiment with my utility/covers board: [IMG]http://i64.tinypic.com/33bzt42.jpg[/IMG] New chain is: Bass -> DIY true bypass switch -> Line6 M5 -> DIY Wooly Mammoth -> MXR Bass Envelope Filter -> Boss OC-2 -> back out via TB switch. All powered by a Diago Power Station Si Quote
Twigman Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 A new toy arrived from a certain Mr Dave Hall yesterday and got added to my nano+ [attachment=212550:nanoplus.jpg] It now sits on taller feet to accomodate my Trex Chameleon. To be safe the DHA uses 2 outlets at 12VDC with a current doubler cable (green). [attachment=212551:nanoplusfeet.jpg] Quote

GazWills Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Here's my little board, slight downsizing as I realised I was only using these pedals in the current band... so moved from Metro 24 back to old PT Mini. Feels right! I just prefer the design of these to the new metro's, and the old bags were better, I don't care what PT say!!! Quote

[/quote] I'm having a lot of fun making noise, ambient soundscapes and covering Daft Punk songs by myself. I'm hoping to record with it soon, if only for posterity The Side Car definitely opens up the Boomerang (as least for me). I find it far easier to stack and record with dedicated function buttons and it frees up the first yellow bonus button as a fourth loop bank and allows me to set fade, reverse and octave to separate buttons.

BigBassBob Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 It goes without saying but I'm always a fan of your boards, Gaz. The TFR is the only muff variant I've owned that I've sworn to forever keep. Quote
