I just need an actual board, and I have an idea for that...! My first board was, literally, a weatherboard I had lying around in the garage. Screw some rubber feet on and you’re good to go. Eventually it ended up painted metallic silver and had fancy bits like holes for cables drilled into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching a 'rig rundown' on youtube and someone had a chopping board that they've stuck velcro on.. I plan on going to wilco at the weekend for a mini chopping board, some stick on feet and possibly some cool coloured spray paint.. I'll do a build diary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do a build diary I made mine out of an old pallet I blagged from my local bar. Cut it down to size. Edged with a bit of old tongue and groove I had knocking around. Painted black. Covered in double sided tape and velcro. The feet are actually a couple of old plastic bolts that you get in new washing machines to stop the barrel moving when it's being delivered. Total cost, about a fiver for the velcro and double sided tape. I don't think it looks too bad.

danny-79 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Just built this today to accommodate the Duality. (Still undecided if it should go before or after the B3K) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Is it fair to say you're a fan of DG pedals?! 😄 I'm guessing your favourite dirt is the AO? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you could say that 😜 the AO is great, always on then kick the B3K in to give it a lift. Only put the Duality on today so still undecided about the best place for it. Before or After the B3. The two work very well together in either order just very differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny-79 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 After a bit/lot of experimenting I’ve found putting the B3K after the Duality works best for me, helps tame the high gain of the Duality. The two together in that order sound perfect to me. (For now at least) 😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes @Kamiel I allready have all that stuff, but i´m trying to redo my board. The Delay, flanger, octave and reverb individual pedals might be out of this new iteration duo to the B3n. To much stepdance envolved at the moment Still planning how i will distribute the pedals . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that´s just the way i like it. Now with the ES-5 i might even try them in parallel . Many experiencies are still to be made Edited February 5, 2019 by A.G.E.N.T.E. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finbar Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) I have not posted in this thread since 2011! Are any of the old big pedalboard crew still around? I'm thinking TaySte, Cheddatom, Shep etc I’ve also barely played bass since 2011! Decided to move to a teeny tiny board (PT Nano+), but I think it was too small Definitely feel like I’m missing things, but I've simply run out of room. A lot of this board is taken up with 'boring' stuff, so I might try and move the wireless and the Thumpinator underneath. There isn’t a lot of room under here though! Currently using a Diago power supply 'off board', but looking to stick a Cioks DC5 under there when I get paid. The Catalinbread Hyperpak is a placeholder for... I’m not sure what yet. Might just leave it there. Also may take the DG footswitch off - I find the volume jump when you want to turn the dirt channel on is pretty jarring (plus I like dirt before reverb), so that might just become another grit/gain stage pedal. Not sure yet. Edited February 8, 2019 by Finbar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 @Finbar welcome back! Not sure why you get a volume jump on your DG M900 when engaging dirt? It's pretty easy to balance using the drive level in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 It's the M500, not sure if it makes too much of a difference. To be fair, I've only used the footswitch at home, it's not been to the practice room yet. I've barely notched the master volume up past zero before it gets loud enough to bother neighbours. I have a feeling if I play with it a bit more at real volumes I'll work the levels out. I didn't buy the amp for its clean sound anyway, so it might just become a glorified Mute switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're my pusherman 😂 they sound fantastic though. Trying to decide whether to use the Scrutator in LP or BP mode! I quite liked the BP setting as its cleaner and I'm getting plenty bottom from the T65. Edited February 9, 2019 by lee650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sifi2112 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Looks good Lee650 ... so how about a little demo of the kind of various sounds you can get out of your setup ? Hoping video files can be added to threads Moderators ? This applies to all BCers with pedal boards, just think it would make this thread even better. (I’m awaiting some new switches for my ‘ramp’ pedal so I’ll post once new board complete lol) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 @sifi2112 Yeah great suggestion! My interest isn't what's on the boards as much as the noises and sounds created with them and the context folks are using them in. I struggle to see where I need more than a bit of drive or eq so to see these 14 pedal behemoth boards I'm baffled - limited by my own tunnel vision no doubt - but I'm confident people are making far more interesting and textured noises than my brain could conjure up with the same wealth of tools! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
