Off Topic; Building a moderately expensive pedalboard :)

[acwild]

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:

Nice! You have some serious machinery there.

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

It is not programmable. Basically it is a remote switch for each effect that takes it in or out of the signal chain.

I get it now. Basically it'll give you true-bypass with the convenience of an organized line of footswitches. Cool.

i keep looking at going a bypass strip on my board which would probably clean it up quite a bit but i think once i get my T1M and a Cusack Screamer i'll probably use some zip ties and get it nice and clean...

there is some serious big guns in this thread and i've only seen 4 boards... and those all access units are quite tasty

I know there's a lot more great boards out there. Maybe a "Budget is not even a factor pedalboard" thread should be started.

Yes, I have since labeled each switch with green gaffers tape and permanent marker.
The only thing is there is a huge amount of cabeling under the board now.

Hey, at least under the board is better than a big spaghetti mess on top. I just learned what a gaffer is too.

this is my main rig, i use a RJM Mastermind to control it

So you like TC stuff? What's the Mastermind? A floor controller? The RJM people are great to deal with as I had some questions about the Mini Amp Gizmo and had to call them.

The mastermind is just a midi controller. Yes i have always liked the TC stuff, I have had very good experience with them. The new tone print pedals are very cool and I like the ability to load in a preset from my phone. The Flashback is my favorite, delay in general is the one thing that is a must have for me.

The new TC pedals are surprisingly affordable too. I have all the same ones that you have except I only have one Flashback. Do you have a favorite Tone Print? I like the ones that Pete Thorn made and one of the Echoplexes.

Here's mine:

Board is a Pedalpad MPS-XL. Signal path is Guitar --> Boss TU-3 tuner --> Vox Big Bad Wah --> Ernie Ball VP Jr. --> Vox Satchurator --> Boss BF-3 flanger --> MXR Phase 90. After the amp's preamp, the effects loop chain is Boss CE-3 chorus ensemble --> Boss DD-3 digital delay --> Boss DD-5 digital delay --> Vox Time Machine analog delay --> MXR Carbon Copy --> Line6 verbzilla. The grey box at the top is a Behringer MA400 headphone amp for my in-ears (Sure SE315); the small grey box beside the volume pedal is a homemade tap tempo switch for my DD-5, and the black box to the right of the Satchurator is the channel select for my amp.

The space on the top left is taken up by the Power Pad II power supply, and the one on the top right is Patch Pad routing module (awesome little unit!).

Just debuted these in the other pedal thread but since I love seeing pedalboards, just reorganised mine and Gokart bumped it I'll play...

While I've pared down my chain, I still love looking at pedalboards too. What cables are those in your front row?

Monster Rock patch cables in the front, back line has Planet Waves and a couple of George L's. I used to use George L's for everything as they are so small and flexible but they fail so easily I've returned to soldered cables.

Cool, thanks! I didn't recognize the tips but they look pretty solid. Too bad about the George L's. They look like they can save a lot of space.

I don't have any pix 'cause I'm in the process of dismantling it for an impending sell-off but here's what was on it:

• Jauernig-modded Boss CS-1
• Digitech FX-17 mini volume/wah
• Menatone Workingmans Blue
• Boss DS-1
• Hermida Zendrive
• Boss PS-5 Pitch Shifter
• TC Electronics Nova Mod
• TC Electronics Nova Delay

All mounted on a Pedaltrain PT-1

I'm going to guess that it's for pick storage. Either that or fresh breath for groupies.
