SHOW OFF YOUR PEDALBOARD!

[JiveTurkey]

Yup, had the same setup (but a different expression pedal. The FM3 fit perfectly on the board. There was no room vertically though lol it went right to the edges.

But yes, a wonderful board and very cheap!

Color matches the Bumblee Strat too. So win-win for me!

That sucks! How long did you have yours before it started? Or was yours used, so not sure?

Just wondering if mine might start, bought it new.

Bought mine new and it started to happened after a year or so.

Where do I go to pick up my 'Smallest Dick' award?

I have a Tomsline Dumbler. Does it sound like a Dumble? Never played through one so f****d if I know!

Very probably a decent-enough budget Zendrive clone.

Mine at the moment

Ha, that's cool - how's the Dual Gun?

For less than $10 on Amazon custom length power cables are a breeze.

Here’s my modulation board of cheap noisemakers. I put it together and kind of stopped buying pedals. I built a bypass looper with an open loop to patch in an external distortion or fuzz.

Reorganized in a more economical way

Brace yourself @Warmart . Brace yourself.

Cool board!

I always wonder if those Ibanez boxes would have been more popular if they didn't look so drab and utilitarian. Just making the footswitch a different color would have helped. The "push the knobs in to lock them in place" was a good idea.

Rebuilt on a Nux Bumblebee M.

Under the back row:

• CIOKS DC7
• Strymon Conduit MIDI hub
• Temple Audio 4X MOD patchbay in the back
• CME WIDI Jack for wireless MIDI

On the floor:

• Luminite F6W wireless 6-button footswitch.

Signal chain:

1. Guitar -> Turbo Tuner -> Boss FZ-1W -> Strymon Compadre -> Riverside -> Zelzah -> Deco -> 4X MOD
2. 4X MOD out -> BluGuitar Amp 1 Mercury Edition input
3. Amp 1 fx loop send -> 4X MOD -> Volante -> Flint V2
4. Flint V2 -> Amp 1 fx loop return

MIDI wiring:

• CME WIDI Jack MIDI out -> Strymon Conduit 5-pin MIDI In
• Strymon Conduit 1/4" -> bottom row pedals + Flint V2. Since there's only 4 ports on the Conduit, Compadre and Riverside are split using a TRS Y cable for "MIDI in only" operation. Normally these use MIDI in/out over TRS.
• Conduit 5-pin MIDI Out -> Volante MIDI In
• Volante MIDI Out -> BluGuitar Amp 1 MIDI In

Luminite Graviton M1 can control all the pedals wirelessly, and is fully wireless itself by being connected to a small USB powerbank I got as a gift from a former client.

One drawback is that the tiny toggle switches on the back of the Strymons are very difficult to operate. Thankfully most are just stereo/mono input switches and the Riverside Presence and Compadre Drive switches can be operated via MIDI.

Another issue is that I can't utilize MIDI in back to the M1 because the Amp 1 hogs one of the MIDI out ports. Unfortunately the Amp 1 MIDI adapter cannot power a CME WIDI Master dongle or that would have worked great for leaving that connection wireless too. Best solution might be to buy a 5-pin MIDI splitter/merger box, if I can find one small enough to cram under the board there.

Finally it lacks a power switch so I have to plug in the cable to the CIOKS. I'm considering taking the IEC mod from my Temple Audio Trio 21 and seeing if that will fit somehow.

I like the Nux Bumblebee board but I wish it was just a few mm taller as that would allow e.g stacking the CIOKS and Conduit and leaving a lot more space. The L size model seems poor because it does not allow for an extra row of pedals on the riser, it's just a bit deeper probably so you can fit a compact loop switcher up front.

Yeah I've been looking if I can find something like that locally. It's not a pretty solution, but it's a solution.

Also forgot to add that the Volante is an absolute bitch for pedalboard building. It's an oddball "1.75x small Strymon" size and as much as I love its sounds and how practical it is to use, it takes a lot of space and you have to work around it. It's especially tricky for any pedals with side jacks.

I wish they had crammed the Rec and Spring level controls under some secondary functions if that let them shave off a bit of width, maybe replacing the input with a TRS jack.

Another option is to get something like this from West Coast Pedalboards or make your own DIY version.

The Temple Audio IEC module is basically this already. It's just a bit annoying to disassemble from the board so I haven't tried it yet.

I'm getting a little seasick staring at this picture......

 

[miggelblast]

I had to sell my Stomp XL (yeah yeah I know... never sell your Stomp) and decided to do without modeling for a while. This is what I have come up with after that.

I'm quoting myself because I have been swapping pedals in and out and generally tinkering with it for two months now, and I kind of feel like it's ready? At least for now.

 

[gearJunkie]

At least for now.

yep

I managed to fit the dire wolf on the top row so now my pedal board is finally done for reals !
