Off Topic; Building a moderately expensive pedalboard :)

[acwild]

I admit it, the "Inexpensive Pedalboard" thread killed me as I couldn't make any affordable combinations.
If there's anyone else out there who couldn't do it either, let's see some pics of what you've got.

Nice all Access board.

I will have one of those on the way soon.....

not sure "inexpensive" can be done with good results. i ended up scrapping the proposed budget pretty quickly.

I'll Bite...

the only change is my TIM is going to be gone (just sold) and its going to be replaced by a Custom T1M pearl with a ZVex SHO Clone and A T1M Touch Drive...

just an added note... i build my own boards so this helps cut the cost a bit

Here is my "moderately expensive" pedalboard:





1. Large size pedaltrain, bought used

2. 2 Digidelays bought used

3. 2 Fish N' CHips Eq's, bought used

4. 1 DOD FX40 EQ, bought used

5. Vintage Morley Volume pedal, bought used

6. Dime Wah, bought used

7. 4 way true bypass looper built myself

8. Danelectro Chcken Salad Vibe I re-housed in a Wah Pedal Shell and wired for true bypass for a cheap Roto-Vibe.

9. Vinatage 1981 Morely Flanger. Bought it new myself in '81 and kept ever since.

10. Vintage Morley Analog Echo 600MS with 12 volt MN3007 chips. Bought used but not so cheaply.

11. Morely Deluxe distortion. Bought used then modded the heck out of it.

12. TS-9 modified by AnalogMan to TS-808 specs - Bought new, kind of expensive but sounds great.

13. 5 way true bypass looper, bought new, not that cheap.

14. Danelectro Compressor. Bought used super cheap.

15. Boss Tuner, brand new but reasonable price.

16. Cut up old guitar cables for connecting cables.

I'd say that's quite the board

I knew my fellow gear hoarders would pop up.
I actually got my All Access cheap on E-Bay. Someone was selling his and I just asked a question about it. Next thing I know he kept e-mailing me back lowering the price until it went down low enough to where I just couldn't refuse.

not sure "inexpensive" can be done with good results. i ended up scrapping the proposed budget pretty quickly.

I hear ya. My wife is always reminding me how much I spend on gear. One thing I did learn is that if you have a sound in your head and you don't buy the exact pedal for it due to budget constraints, chances are you'll end up spending more when you realize that an alternate won't give you the desired results.

Hey, I have a Tim and love it. What is it about the T1M that you like better?

Lots of cool stuff there. Can you tell me more about the 5 way true bypass looper?

i know it will sound petty but the one thing i don't like about the TIM is how "tall" it is compared to my other pedals... i keep knocking the knobs and i don't like how i cant use the boost all by itself so i had to get a boost to do that...
tonally i love the TIM and based most of my tone off of the OD... but the T1M touch drive is supposed to be pretty stinkin' close to the TIM according to Dan.
I also really like the SHO but where i play i can't have a SHO and explain to kids what it is that i'm using... so this way i can just say i'm using a Custom Pearl.
A lot of the guys in the arena that i'm playing use the T1M and it really fits with my genre and will suit my tastes better i think.
I'm also looking at swapping out my VFE Distortion 3 (light blue middle) for a Cusack Screamer... a TS808 flavored pedal... As you can see i'm very loyal to the brands i like... EBMM, CUSACK, VFE... LOL!

Yeah, the Tim's case is pretty ungainly. I talked to Paul Cochrane about it and he told me that he always thought of it as a "back line" pedal. It's height helps keep you from accidentally kicking a front line pedal. I never use the boost side so I really should have bought a Timmy instead.
As far as brand loyalty goes, I like too many things and am essentially a gear ho. I've sold about thirty pedals in the last few months and have another twenty to go.

Same here... i've been selling off a ton as well... we should talk off the forum but i think were of the same cloth... i'm a gear collector for sure

It is by Loop-Masters. Good quality

 

[joe web]

these are my pedalboards. the big one is in a flightcase and it´s controlling my main rig with a lot of crap in it.
the small one is just for fun, and mostly played in combination with my JCM800 or my new EVH 5150III Mini.
signal chain is:
git- evh wah- korg dt-10 tuner- custom made 808 clone- evh flanger- evh phaser- black lable chorus- amp input - amp send- cheap delay with a cool sound- mxr/cae booster- amp return
the small box an the left of the pedal board is a footswitch for channelswitching of the jcm800 marshall (2205)

Absolutely. Gear Pager as well?

I guess I should have been more specific. Is it easy to program different combinations of effects?

What's the All Access controlling? Looper? AxeFx? I love the MXR EVH gear and am after the flanger right now. Looks like you have some fun toys.

 

[jbert]

Here's mine.

 

[acwild]

Here's mine.

A mini Loop Master? The Voodoo Vibe looks really cool. What's the orange pedal next to it? That wah is on my buy list as well. Looks like you're a drive addict too.

 

[lukather101]

Just got a Line 6 M5 , i was going to buy an Mxr EVH Phaser but for £30 extra I've got 100 plus effects to play around with.

"Awesome"

 

[jbert]

I use the Loop-Master mini bypass just as an input to avoid wear and tear on the wah input jack. It can also serve as a signal cut if I want. The Loop-Master pedal A/B/Y at the other end serves both to avoid wear and tear on the Flashback output jack and to run into two amps that I can switch in and out or run together.

The orange pedal is a Catalinbread Ottava Magus, a really cool octave fuzz.

The drives I have now are the culmination of years of buying and trading, and I'm really happy with them. I would say the Small Fry is my all time favourite. Very versatile and tweakable, and built like a tank.

Hey man, I have an AxeFx Ultra and still can't resist buying pedals. I love my EVH Phaser!

I'm going to have to look into Loop Master, thanks! Fuzzes and drives are an addiction. I sold off a bunch of mine after getting a Mark V and will probably sell off more when I get the Rockstah amp. That said, you know I'm going to buy more too. The Small Fry is one that I haven't tried out yet that I've been curious about. Never heard of the Ottava Magus but I'll look for some demos. I know the that the guy from Catalinbread is a Gear Page regular.

well, i controll a g-major, a digitech IPS33B harmonizer, a RJM RG-16 looper with MXR phase90, evh flanger, dyna comp, zw-44 overdrive and another cheap TS-clone, a yamaha multifx for the piezo signal chain and my mesa roadster head.
everything is hooked up in one case as you can see here:
