Behold my massive board of pedals

@thomasross20 wondering why you went to all that trouble and expense of changing boards when you've kept the same pedals? Did the Boss die or something?

It's alive but I couldn't fit on the Flashback, and I want to have my impending new amp's footswitch on there, too (actually.. do I?). To be honest, I don't use the Flashback too much. This might have been a splurge too far as the Boss is great (still on sale but still have it..) and I don't play too many pedals!

Finally finished the rebuild.

Just waiting on the Friedman BE-OD and possibly a replacement delay.

+1 waiting for the Friedman BE-OD! Nice board man

I recently got over myself and started using a Line 6 M5 as an occasional plugin to my main board for those occasional FX occasions. Low and behold I had a board kicking around that was the perfect size.....

And with the main board...

As always,can't do pedal board only as rack is essential.

I am awating an Effectorde Tube Vibe and another BK Butler Tuber Driver for the rack -but pretty much done.

Little hiccup when young Alistair wired my MXR the wrong way around and blew the house mains. Thank god for fuses.

The R2DU rack version - I presume you're on about the controller @samzadgan ;

thanks @Moss . Yeah i was talking about the controller...i thought it was some rare vintage dual rat  pedal with no knobs...which actually sounds like a good idea!

Hi all, first time poster... long term pedal-forum-dweller. (BossArea, MusicRadar anyone?) 

Here's my Pedaltrain Mini. It's been a real labour of love and covers a lot of turf. Runs typically into the front-end of a Blackstar Artisan 30 but plays nicely with backlines, too. Certainly made travelling a lot easier! 

Many years ago I used to collect pedals and mount them to a Pedaltrain Pro. In downsizing to a smaller board I found it really changed my outlook towards effects. It's not so much bare necessities –– I GAS more than ever –– but I started to get more out of the few stomp boxes I chose to put on a board. I feel I can do an awful lot with these pedals in the styles I tend to play. 

 

I am however looking towards a minor upgrade: I'd like a Metro 24 to accommodate an isolated power and separate delay/reverb boxes. Has anyone successfully top mounted a Voodoo Labs to one of those? I feel too much real estate is an accident waiting to happen for me –– I really love this form factor –– but a little more room would be nice!

Ta!

It's stingy gits like you that gave the rest of us Scots a band name :')

After some recent activity in the classifieds I am enjoying the latest pedal board configuration...

Ha, hurried ten minutes here with the other half of that activity 
Pretty much I've developed a pedalboard that will allow me to sound like I'm playing at the bottom of a well.

Not so much a pedalboard anymore...

thomasross20

@johnonguitar so true lol!

Guys... here is a question....

I'm going to put an amp footswitch on my pedalboard. But sometimes I may want to take it off and only take my guitar and amp and footswitch to practice, as opposed to guitar + pedalboard.

So is there an alternative to the Velcro, something that'll let you clip pedals on and off, as required?

That Dream Box pedal looks interesting!

In the 70's we used to buy rubber strips to put on the edge of car doors to stop them getting dented on walls / other cars. It's just a U Channel strip of rubber, these days you see something similar used on mic stands for plectrums.

Get yourself to a window suppliers and ask to see a few different sizes of window rubber in a U shape strip.
Find one that is deep enough, roughly 1/2" should do it, maybe 3/4" but no more than that.

Cut it so it fits your footswitch across the bottom like you would with velcro, with the open end of the U shape facing towards the bottom of the pedal and find a way of sticking it there - either velcro or 3m spray glue on the rubber, not the pedal ! Put a strip top and bottom as you would velcro.

Now do the same on the board with two more strips cut to the same width but face the open end of the U shape channel upwards towards the top of the board. I would use velcro here, not glue on the board.

So to mount your footswitch, offer it up above where your rubbers are mounted on the board and slide it downwards, locating one side of the u shape on the pedal to interlock with the one on the board. Because a pedaltrain is slanted it should stay there as long as you remember when you stand on it to step downwards and not forwards as well.

It won't survive an earthquake as most modern velcro will but it will stay semi-put and be removeable when needed.
