Laney takes care of the lows in a big way...rest runs fun stuff. Spark is a new addition simply to boost level for my P bass as its output is way lower than my Jazz and Dingwall. Would like to swap out Demon FX pedals for DG originals but simply don't have the cash...and from my research pretty much sound identical...maybe one day. Apollo 2 phaser is a staggering pedal on guitar or bass. Totally nails that Lizzy Alibi tone.... Chorus lands well for Sweet child of mine... B7k clone is set with low drive and really gets me the Harris clack along with p bass and flats. Octave used conservatively on Land of confusion ( disturbed) and lay down your love (Whitesnake) really thickens sound. Sheehan pedal ( my fav) for all the Mr Big/ winery dogs stuff... I am trialling the Joyo battery power supply with this. No issues with charge times..it runs this lot for 4 hours plus... But to reduce anxiety levels at gigs I charge it in the gap between sets... No cables ..no ground loops... No earthing issues.. and cheap...and if you don't like it use it as a battery charger for your phone..it has usb out! I ditched my George Ls to try Harley Benton solderless patch cables ..unbelievable value and am running 3 boards without a single issue ..the sockets are super compact as well. Have recommended to loads of people without issue... That’s a good run through of how you use your pedals. Gives it some context rather than looking at a picture of effects pedals.

Bigwan Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Gonna guess that the 2 pedals next to the Heaby are Chinese DG clones @danbowskill. An X and an AO? How you finding them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How you finding them? 😂..yarp,it's the AO and B3k. Surprisingly good quality and sound.silent switching, the AO sounds exactly the same...the 3k has a lot darker drive than the original I change my mind so much with drives these will do just fine for the mo.

Interesting... Finding my Alpha Omega Photon & HX Stomp XL combination total overkill for my requirements. My recently acquired Vintage Ultra and an AO clone would probably be more than sufficient if I added a compressor into the equation...

EmmettC Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I was in the process of clearing out all my spares and extras, after making a board I'm happy with... but there were too many pedals I couldn't part with, so I stuck a new spare/compact/practise board together.... I'll move the genzler r-eq on to the smaller board once I get a lpf pedal for the big one. I might swap the tuners around too. The Boss is a little quicker, even though it takes up more space.... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobothy Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 ... what's the Omnicabsim clone like folks? If there was a pedal I wouldn't mind trying to build it'd be one of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep thinking it would be nice to have something on my board that is a little more interesting rather than grit or compression and the OFF1 has me intrigued. We'd have practically the same board at that point though 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a Nano+ to fit the Capo but it has crossed my mind indeed a mini expression pedal for the filter of the OFF1 or the LEM stuff too… I love the single line approach of the nano/nano+/rock board 2.1 but adding an expression pedal would mean likely jumping to the 3 rail/double line of pedals which I don’t love, as it’d leave spaces I’d feel condemned to fill up with yet more pedals. Having said that, I like this mini expression pedal, lots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the one advantage of a deeper pedalboard is that you can put always on stuff out of the way where you're not gonna knock it. Also would allow for a little extra space between pedals, especially those with 2 switches as it's almost impossible to avoid hitting both when they're close. But yeah currently trying to apply some restraint 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Trying to find the ultimate set up. This is the latest iteration. However it's already changed this morning since being built last night. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Indeed - I think you need more synth! Is the plethora no good for octave then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you refer to the presence of the Poly Blue? The Plethora has the sub n up, a harmoniser, and a pitch shift. In short there isn't much it can't do octave wise. However...the MXR Poly Blue is just my favourite pedal. Honestly there's so much it can do. And it's so easy to adjust on the fly. It's overkill having so many options but I like simplicity, and the Plethora is a simple way to have 5 pedals in a small space. It can do so much more of course but it handles my modulation and compression needs admirably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
