stewblack Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) Fantasy board time - within strict limits! I was looking at those little pedal strips, you know the Valeton Dapper that Tech 21 ripped off with their so called Sansamp Fly Rig. Got me thinking. If you could have just 5 pedals, in a row on a small board what would you choose? And how would you power it? Thinking initially just type of pedals (at the moment I'd probably have 5 different distortions, a month or so back it would have been 5 envelope filters) but if you have brands in mind too then have at it. Only five, no multi effects, all stomp boxes. Go for it. Edited November 14, 2019 by stewblack 1 Quote
stewblack Posted November 14, 2019 Author Posted November 14, 2019 Ooh ooh, and of course which patch cables and most importantly effect chain! Quote
stewblack Posted November 14, 2019 Author Posted November 14, 2019 The board isn't important It's a plank of wood with carpet stapled to it so don't worry about that. Quote
Stofferson Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 If I had just 5 to chose from id have the below, I own some currently, would be a step down to 1 fuzz from 3 on my current board. Sansamp Bddi V2 / Or Sansamp SH-1 (once i have tried it) Sovtek Green Russian Deluxe (mids!!) Dunlop Geezer Butler Wah Micro Thumpinator Korg Pitch Black Tuner I got the Warwick rockboard patch cables with the flat heads, best I've used yet for durability and space saving. Power wise, I'd like a T rex classic, so I can power off a sturdy IEC cable rather than the 9 volters, I know board aint an option but i have the Rockboard with the MOD1 in it (is that cheating haha) 1 Quote

stewblack Posted November 14, 2019 Author Posted November 14, 2019 Compressor, Octaver, Distortion, Envelope, Chorus, is I think what I would go for, but I might need to sacrifice the compressor for a second distortion. One low gain one high. I'd power it with my little recheargable battery gizmo I think. Impressed with those including a tuner or coming in under the five. You show restraint the like of which I can only dream about. Quote

I don't see the point in 50% of my pedals (i.e the Orange Burst)... then I ask myself 'what would Jamerson do?' ... Answer = He'd plug straight in to the desk, and not be offered any work after 1975... No... I've heard Stew's playing, and it sounds bloody great... obviously that's because of all them pedals! 😃 1 Quote

You show restraint the like of which I can only dream about. You can still keep your compressor if you use a Rodenberg overdrive/distortion. It's a 808/909b combined with a switch. 1 Quote

Wilson_51_ Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Yeah i had one a few years ago too and missed it so i ended having to get one when i saw that they did the mini one. I only got it a few weeks ago. It's great and i don't miss having it in a bigger enclosure. Quote
