Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!

[admiralchew]

A lot of you know I’ve gone a bit mad with boutique pedals. As I head toward married life I’ve been rejigging how I approach them and, as a result, I’m selling a lot of them, making boards with others, and collecting a few like a gear-hoarding magpie.

 

Since I moved at the start of the year, all but five or six pedals (and my minis board - currently partially deconstructed) have been in boxes waiting for a board.
 

As part of the overall rejigging I’ve realised that nothing is so sacred I have to leave it in its box. As a result, I’ve finally built a Broughton board (and one Southampton pedal that Josh Broughton worked on).

 

I plan on putting other boards together over the next few months but this is currently my only fully-wired up board.

 

Signal chain is right to left bottom row, then right to left top row. Knobs do not reflect settings; I’m just clumsy when I wire up.

Tonight's board.

Couple of new Joyo pedals. Great compressor, Double Thruster overdrive and the vision modulation. 

The Vision is really a multi effect with some neat features. Not least of which is parallel routing

How's the double thruster? Same as b3k?

That looks sooo clean 👌

Not having used  b3k I couldn't say. It's my always on dirt pedal. I haven't gigged it yet (just about to go on) but it's reasonably low gain. Although it does get gnarly.

Thanks! If we could just pretend I didn’t obsessively keep altering the positions for 45 minutes that would be great.

Holy Cow! How ist the SUBSONIC? Great looking Board, that surely is a serious sonic playground - congrats!

Excellent work here. These Rockboards are so nicely designed… much more space underneath than my Pedaltrain JR. I’d be able to sling my HPF under one of those and fit an EQ in its place on top of the board. Hmmm

And now with extra octaves courtesy of @uncle psychosis

I’m very pleased with it

The Subsonic is absolutely lovely. It's extremely simple to use, sounds great and tracks well. I think the plan is to make more and I hope he does; it deserves to get a wide release and a great reception. Thanks for the kind comment!

Agreed on the Roackboards; they're superb. There's even space underneath to velcro strap-tie the power cable on for easy transport. I've been selling a lot of my pedals, including some Broughton ones, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the ones I was opting to keep fitted so well on a board I already had laying about.

Not wired up yet as I still need to get the shelf screwed in properly but no more 90 degree pedals 🙌

 

 

 

sorry for the state of the desk

Absolutely amazing! You single-handedly made me want to try the Longsword/Model FET combo.

 

Rockboards for the win too!

It's a wonderful thing, Model FeT, Longsword and the Halberd are absolutely incredible. The Halberd is the biggest surprise for me though, it's capable of so much variety. Thinking I'll wire up the Longsword (with a clean blend) into the Halberd this time around.

 

Highly recommend the EAE stuff if you can get your hands on it.

this is my board, sometimes i put OCD Fulltone in front of the equalizer, i power it through Mosky iso-10, cali76 copy powered by 18v.

I use the equalizer to boost the signal because I use a 5m guitar cable, and 6m from the board to the amplifier. Or mutes the signal at home on other cables, bass guitars are passive.

What could someone dream more about !

I think Iv finally got my live rig sorted (top pedal board) now, really happy with the range of sounds I can get from this.

 

Got the smaller board and wah to interchange occasionally which gets some funkier sounds in the mix too!

[ped]

I’ve nearly finished - I’ve just added a fantastic Warm Audio passive DI under the board. It was reduced at Gear4music but then I found it for £70 ish at scan.co.uk which is a really good deal.

Double flange!

Yeah. I'm in a flangey place atm. The Boss is the one gets me where I want to be. Does that thing I hear in my head when I think of a flanger. 

However the JHS is an interesting one. I get more if a light phaser sound out of it. Probably best suited to a g****r really but very useable

I'm in a more phasey place, personally. But more importantly, I'm on a forum where both these statements are accepted and understood. 😃

Yep. It's nice to know we're not alone.

I always found phasers to be a bit weak on basses. I love them on guitars, but on the bass they seem often a bit passive.

A light distortion first will bring that lacklustre phaser to life!
