Expression pedal on the way… if I’d add a chorus it’d all pack just nicely, let me not get ahead of myself 😇😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 While I’m waiting for my Pedaltrain and MXR Compressor to arrive my current set of pedals TC Polytune 3 then MXR Bass Pre Amp then SparkBooster I will stick the MXR compressor before the Preamp pedal I can achieve better EQ ( CTM100 is basic and passive ) with the MXR preamp ( very quiet ) and the SparkBooster is always on but I back off on my bass guitar volume to clean it up and crank it up again when guitarist plays a solo Work in progress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ander87 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Well…! This is not where I am as I have some pending to arrive, but I will be upgrading to a Rockboard 3.0 soon it seems. All the pedals below are either on their way to me or with me already… just one enigmatic gap right on the middle - suggestions accepted, I was thinking of a phaser but at this stage is more OCD than anything else 😂 I’ve got compressor, tuner into the capo (multi distortion preamp/EQ/LPF/pre and post loops/DI outs), pre loop: expression pedal into the OFF1 (octave, fuzz, filter) post loop: LEM (multi delay reverb with octaves/fifths up and down and trails etc) and Moog minifooger chorus I was toying with the idea of a Jam Pedals Ripple Fall bass phaser for the middle… but open to suggestions as seems I’ve got everything else….! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ander87 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Hm! Thought about the c4 but the OFF1 + LEM combo give me all the trippy synths stuff I’ll realistically use… same goes for future impact plus that one is huge. thinking more functionality than effects, I may be laying my eyes on the Broadcast mostly as a nice boost but also some gain staging - unfortunately I can’t travel to Spain just yet as planned where my Capo is waiting for me 😅 will read around but oh boy it does sound lush, wondering if it’d play nice with the Capo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a nice reverb or delay to get ambient-y?

Not that I have recreated your board on pedal playground or anything geeky like that... but the D'addario Expand 1 board looks to be the perfect size for those pedals fully extended... (if you ask ask @jimbobothy he's had one of those boards.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I considered the Xpand1 and I love a single line thing tbh, but I will ask how’s the Velcro behaving on the layer that slides in, and have to research on space for a PSU… I do like the concept though!

There is a bit of a step between the two layers, but you can just space the pedals to compensate for it, or double up the velcro on one side of a pedal if you need to go over the join. I also prefer the single rail boards I think, and the XPND works really well in that department. The bag is expensive for what it is, so you could consider getting a Pedaltrain Nano Max, keeping the bag and selling the board to get a decent bag for less ha ha!! For a PSU the Cioks DC 7 I think just squeezes under there (check you tube for what it looks like). I'm currently using a daisy chain with mini pedals and for a quick pedal change around if needed it's great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ander87 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Well, fantastic, I've learnt my pedals would barely, just about fit a Nano Max on single row - that one is 28" vs the XPND's 24.75" Also, that will mean potentially longer runs of patch cables for the pre/post loops on the capo, or putting the capo in the middle and blocking some outputs etc of course.

Back to the OG plan of the Rockboard 3.0! I’d suggest you look at the PT Jr or Rockboard 4.1 Personally I’d go with the Jr as I think with the pedals you’ve got and the layout you’re not going to get a lot out of the patchbay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top row won't see much foot action anyway, distortion to switch in between songs, with fuzz / octave / chorus / delays etc on the bottom row. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDinsdale Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) I've been doing a lot of soul searching about my current board, it sounds amazing but for a while I've really wanted to add something a little more fun like an Octave pedal or some kind of modulation. Thanks to @Ander87 I've become a little obsessed with the OFF1 and LEM, I was impressed by the videos of the OFF1 at the time but totally forgot about it. Hypothetically if I did get my hands on them I'd have to extend to the Rockboard 3.0 from the 2.1 I'm currently using. This would mean I could get the MOD bay and have the Capo DI along with in/outs and an optional expression pedal jack. Not super keen on rotating the pedals but I don't think theres another option. It also means upgrading the Cioks DC4 to a DC7 😭 Here's how it's looking: I use the Model FeT and Hyper Luminal always on, the Capo rarely gets touched but handy to have at the front. That leaves me with my Longsword 🖤 and potentially an OFF1 and LEM up front to play with (if I can find the funds and justify it). Planning a pedalboard is the worst 🥲 Edited March 21, 2023 by MrDinsdale 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOOooooft synthy heaven! Glad I'm dragging some more victims with me I was looking for a CS6 by True Tone, seeing as the Cioks stuff is out of my budget etc... I once again rely on the Harley Benton, this time the ISO 2 pro, 8 outputs, 2 of which do 9/12/18v and £60 all in from new... did my share of lurking on Facebook marketplace and here but I didn't find good stuff used and the Harley Benton supply I've had has done me well... my only gripe is that it doesn't have the kettle lead which would be nice but that's me being picky... I'll reassess if I want to go down the route of patch bay etc...! BTW, you could probs put the Ditto and Tuner one above the other, and that cooouuuuld save you space for a mini expression pedal? I wish I could recommend mine but I've no TRS (yet) cable so can't assess how it works lol but mechanically it seems very well built! Ander.
