admiralchew Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 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. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 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 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great looking Board, that surely is a serious sonic playground for sure - congrats! 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! 3 hours ago, moley6knipe said: Excellent work here.

Hmmm 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odi Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick05 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 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! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A light distortion first will bring that lacklustre phaser to life! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
