Thoughts on my new pedalboard?

Found an even better solution today:

Moving the Tumnus after the Elastic Mattress helped to handle the well known noise issues when combining Klon-based pedals (with their charge pump) and Electric Mistress-based pedals.

As before, the Two Notes Cab M+ is used as an IR loader and headphone amp after the entire pedal board when using headphones for practicing.

I also added my Lehle mono volume pedal to the photo.

Seems legit! Nice choices, actually!

I was at the same point with an off-board wah, then moved on from a Palmer 40 to a Palmer 60, and stuck the wah on there with the others. A bit on the heavier side, but I'm digging it.

So... after buying a few more pedals I really wanted to give a go - primarily the Tone King preamp pedal, the Chase Bliss Tonal Recall RKM and the RevivalDrive Hot Rod custom - I decided to put together a small pedalboard (PT Metro 20) with the Tone King preamp pedal as the centrepiece.

Putting together this new board, some pedals were taken from my larger pedalboard. So I had to revisit that one as well.

An important consideration when putting together the boards and deciding which of my pedals to put on each of them, was that I wanted both boards to be useful for both headphone use, for use with my CLR active wedge, for going direct to FOH and/or recording and for use with my last remaining tube amp (Bogner Shiva 20th) (apart from from my Synergy SYN-1 + preamp modules). I also wanted to be able to power each of the boards with my two Cioks DC7 power supplies, i.e. not having to have separate wall warts etc.

So far I really like the result! Both boards are fun and inspiring and I can't really decide which I like best. But then again, I put them together to have both anyways...


Smaller board:

Signal chain:
Origin Effects Cali76 Deluxe -> Durham Sex Drive -> Sonic Research Turbo tuner mini -> Paul C Timmy -> Wampler Tumnus Ge Deluxe -> Origin Effects RevivalDrive Hot Rod Custom -> Tone King Imperial w/Chase Bliss Tonal Recall and MXR M300 in the FX loop.

The entire board is powered by a Cioks DC-7 (with the Imperial running at 12V [using two outlets to handle the current draw], the Cali76 at 18V and the rest at 9V).


Larger board:

Signal chain:
Skreddy Lunar Module -> Origin Effects Cali76 -> Origin Effects Halcyon Green -> Fulltone OCD -> PastFX Elastic Mattress -> Sonic Research Turbo tuner -> Origin Effects RevivalDrive Compact -> Origin Effects RevivalTrem -> IK Multimedia Tonex One -> Strymon El Capistan -> UAFX Heavenly -> Two Notes C.A.B. M+.

The entire board is powered by a Cioks DC-7 (with the Cali76 at 18V, the Elastic Mattress at 18V, the CAB M+ at 12V, the Tonex One on the USB outlet, while the other 6 pedals are in 2 groups of 3 on daisy chains at 9V).

My Lehle mono volume pedal will be used with both of the boards as I see fit.
