SHOW OFF YOUR PEDALBOARD!

[FrankyFire]

Oh, I see. I never thought about that... I have to consider this when I configure my FXL8.

Don't know your workflow, but we have In Ear Monitoring where we 'announce' the upcoming song to ourselves. It's possible to use that for further instructions like:
'Turn Phaser on, Pedal controls set to red markers'
I will probably use that along with a set list with instructions per Song.

In preparation for building a new board and reworking a couple of other boards, I updated my Pedal Playground pallet. I think I might have a pedal hoarding problem.

* There wasn't an image for the Royalist, so that's why there are 2 Imperial preamp pedals shown . Also, the Recoder hasn't yet shipped., and the Rectifier footswitch should be Mark VII.*

You'e definitely gonna need a buffer running through that lot. Oh and someone to carry it for you. Imagine having to find a broken patch cable in the middle of a gig

Junkies and Hoarders are all one and the same. Eventually.

Haha! Truth!

I climaxed in pedalboard building in about 2013. It's all been glorious downsizing since then.

I mean, we can only rise so far before we get a little top heavy and tip over, and our massive
board crushes us beneath the weight of our own ambitions.



I made this video around 2013-ish. I ordered it.



When it arrived I suddenly realized how utterly unworkable and ridiculous
my pursuit had become. I could barely fit just the pedalboard in my car at the time,
let alone haul amps and guitars.




Now I am far, far saner and more well-adjusted. I realized I can have the same square footage
of total pedalboard space, but just need to divide it into 3 or 4 different, but equally compelling
"boards. "

Fortunately, I try to keep my "big" boards limited to 12 pedals or less. The "hoarder's pallet" serves as a source for substitutions and experimentation. I can also grab a couple of pedals from the stash and drop them in my gig bag for spontaneous jam sessions and situations where limited space does not favor a full size board.

Who am I kidding? I'm just a gearJunkie!

As it was spoken of old: Let a man keep ever three boards of such surpassing worth, that none may know which among them is the chosen.

I'm currently on day 69 of pedal/guitar/amp purchase abstinence. So far, that's 345€ not spent.

Wise words.

Nice! Saving it all up for one massive splurge of enthusiastic insanity????

THERE IS NO "JANUARY 2027" LIST!!!!!!!!!

My future pedalboard is not set yet. Here is my current thought. I've put on the side pedals I plan to sell or just put aside at the moment :

Here's my thinking :

• Tuner is included in the Plethora. Even at the end of the chain, it will be ok (I can preset the HB FXL8 for that purpose and have only the Plethora in the chain
• I plan to have my loops like this :
  • Before loop, always on : Noise reductor, Compressor and Wowee Wah
  • Loop 1 : Slow Engine + Mel 9 + Ravish Sitar. Pedal inside the loops will be managed according to the track/momentum needs. Slow Engine is clearly optional in this loop
  • Loop 2 : Boost + Klon clone
  • Loop 3 : WA Ages + Skeleton Key
  • Loop 4 : Muffuletta
  • Loop 5 : Voodoo Vibe
  • Loop 6 : ToneX One. I have a doubt about that. See later point
  • Loop 7 : Memory Man (only for reverse preset purpose)
  • Loop 8 : Time Core Delay
  • All this goes into the Plethora that is MIDI driven by the FXL8. Main usage is for the reverb (HoF 2), and a bit of Sub'N'Up, Flanger, infinite sustainer (combined with Mel9 or Ravish Sitar, I think it would be awesome) and Tremolo. ToneX One could be placed between loop 8 and Plethora
• Writing all this, it makes me reconsider things
  • Is Plethora really necessary ? I could put the SLO at the end and give up on Sub'N'Up, Flanger and Infinite Sustainer. I really want an octaver and the POG is too massive, could buy a Sub'N'Up mini to put in the Loop 1 ? And Infinite Sustainer is cool too.
  • Is it really ok to not have a Tuner at the beginning ?
  • Do I really prefer WA Ages over Proco Rat ?
  • Is the Klon clone really necessary ?
  • Overall placement on the board is probably bad
  • I could replace NR, Comp and Slow'Engine by a GP5 (they have auto swell, don't they?)
  • Does any of this make sense ?

Please tell me if I'm going in dumb directions.

My apologies for the crooked pedals and dog hair , this gets tossed around and transported a couple times a week and I haven’t gone the dual lock route yet
