Pedaltrain Pro Overview

[ChrisGards24]

does it come with the wires and all?

[tehorix789]

@ChrisGards24 No, the power wires are from the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2, and the audio cables are George L's.

[bmwm3cs]

The Direct Drive is the best drive pedal EVER!

[vanzvc]

Wait, is this the pedaltrain pt3?

[tehorix789]

@vanzvc No, this is the PT-Pro. At the time I bought this, the PT-3 wasn't out yet.

[nathanbeckrules]

@T0psecretshit you experience massive signal loss and a lot of noise with a one spot power supply. Voodoo labs PP2+ has 8 outputs that are all isolated = quiet pedals and no "electric hum." also if you have a lot of pedals with cables that means the signal from your guitar to amp is traveling farther = signal loss. PP2+ helps with that, one spot doesn't. You'd have to buy a buffer or a boost pedal to boost your signal

[Patrickkk616]

hey, nice pedals..i also own a pedaltrain pro. love it.

with my pedalboard, my 535q crybaby wah is constantly sliding around, i took the 'feet' off it to get it lower and stay closer to board with the velcro, but it still moves.

does your wah pedal do the same? any help appreciated.

thank

s

[tehorix789]

@Patrickkk616 I took the feet off, too. But then I still had the screws pushing it up a little bit. So I ended up cutting a small extra piece of velco, double sided, to boost up the "in between" space between the screws. Then it became more fixed and sturdy. But actually, I traded my PT-Pro for a PT-2; the Pro was too large for me. It was cumbersome, and I didn't have enough pedals to justify owning it.

[TheBryanlp]

is the gig bag strong on good quality?

[tehorix789]

@TheBryanlp Yes to both, but the Pro model is heavy, with the gig bag and all (I can't imagine how heavy it would be with the road case). I'm thinking of downsizing to be honest. But Pedaltrain makes kick ass pedalboards. Such a simple design. I may opt for the PT-2 or even the PT-1.

[melaboricua]

can i put in a dunlop dc brick for example to this pedalboard instead of the voodoo lab and if so how can i install it?

[tehorix789]

@melaboricua Not sure about the DC brick. If I were you, I'd go on both companies websites and compare the dimensions of each unit. The way you install the power supply is by unscrewing the four screws at the corners of the power supply and screw them back in with some brackets in between the screw and the power supply. These brackets then attach to the underneath side of the Pedal Train. You do have to drill into the metal of the Pedal Train, using a drill bit (but it's easy).

[SkateboardBassguitar]

@tehorix789 Isn't it easier to use some velcro?

[tehorix789]

@SkateboardBassguitar The pedalboard comes with velco, and I use it.

[GtrDudeL]

@melaboricua yes a dunlop brick will fit easily.

[Buckleyguitar]

@melaboricua My cousin has a pt 2 and he has a dc brick. He custom made the brackets to fit it under the pt. He thinks the dc brick is better because it powers what he needs and is also cheeper than the pp2. I am going to buy the pt jr and fit a dc brick with his help but i don't think that the brick is too hard to fit.

[sgbigsby1989]

@Buckleyguitar

the problem with the dc brick is that it is not an isolated supply, its a glorified daisy chain. the problem with not having iso supplies you could get alot of cycle 60hz coming through your amp. if you arent looking to get an isolated system id just go with a normal daisy chain and save yourself a load of money and hassle. most people who get that set up go for the one spot

[t0psecretshit]

to anyone making a pedal board that does not want to spend too much money on a power supply, just get a one spot with a daisy chain. it'll work on line 6 electro harmonix boss and just about any brand pedals. 9volts to 18 volts. if you buy a line 6 dl4 or fm4 or mm4 or dm4 etc..dont spend money on a power adapter for each of them. just get a one spot with a daisy chain. seriously! it works. dont listen to dumb guitar center guys telling you it will not work. tell all your friends!

[Howardsend88]

@t0psecretshit

many thanks for the advise, that'sexactly what I was thinking about

[t0psecretshit]

@Howardsend88 you are very welcome!

[zabimaru1000]

@t0psecretshit You read my mind. What kind of moron buys separate adapters for every pedal he uses?

[Jschwar7]

Is that a Budda Wah?

[tehorix789]

@Jschwar7 No, it's a Geoffrey Teese, Real McCoy RMC 1 Wah.

[MrGetalife23]

whats the blue and green pedals named i really want to buy one???

[tehorix789]

@MrGetalife23 The green one is the Line 6 DL4 (Delay Modeler) and the blue one is the Line 6 MM4 (Modulation Modeler).

[brownbigb]

i got mine new with the hardcase for 200. i am very surprised to see that with those high quality drive pedals you are using the line 6 stuff. also your board seems pretty bare with just 7 pedals. i have 18 on mine, still room for one more.

[jesse1291]

what do you use to power that thing?

[tehorix789]

@jesse1291 The Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2. It fits underneath.

[omarzinho3]

@tehorix789 Does the voodoo labs power the 2 of your line 6 pedals?

[tehorix789]

@omarzinho3 Yes, it can power up to 2 Line 6 pedals.

[RT101894]

nice amps

[Musicunseen95]

thumbs up for the moan at 00:10

[tehorix789]

@Musicunseen95 looooooooooooool, true.

[jairgonzz]

I hate the pedalboard, Its heavy and hard to carry around!

[tehorix789]

@jairgonzz Haha, you're right. It definitely gets heavy (although I think they did a good job of making it pretty light, when there are no pedals on it; it probably could have been a lot heavier). But yes, with all the pedals and the gig bag, it is heavy as hell.

[RT101894]

@jairgonzz get the ATA flight case....which has wheels:)

[DRocker316]

i built this same board and it cost me like 30 bucks to make

[RT101894]

@DRocker316 but did you build it out of Aluminum? no. wood.

[Maremo14]

Wat is the size of this board? length and width?

[tehorix789]

@Maremo14 It's on their website. Just search "pedaltrain" into google.

[goingwithzed]

are all those pedals passive bypass? if so thats pretty cool... I'm probably just gunna suck it up and go rack mount so i can have both effects loop and pre-amp effects all in a single spot.

[tehorix789]

I don't know actually. Some are (the RMC wah), but I'm not sure about others (I'm almost certain the tuner isn't, as well as the Line 6 pedals).

[tehorix789]

@tehorix789 Correction: the Line 6 pedals ARE true bypass.

[lwbantoto]

how heavy can the zendrive and barber get?

[tehorix789]

The barber gets heavier (especially with the pull knob that gets you more "California bottom end" -- think Mesa). The Zendrive is more like a Dumble, but can get to the point of "distortion." Hmmm, maybe a demo video is in order.......

[TheAngryCommentsGuy]

i got my pt-pro for $150 but it has 14 pedals so....

[lespaulplayer1234512]

hey bro can you send me a pic of your board?

[isoviths81]

I just bought the same pedal train! the trick with putting the voodoo lab underneath the pedal board is just perfect, and suitable!! the only problem is that if you have a full pedal board, the bag starts to rip, after a while, cause of the weight... anyway, very nice pedal board! cheers!

[FreneticAmnesic89]

I've been thinking of getting the PT JR. I have an SKB JS45 now but when I bought it I had lots of pedals. Now I have 6 and want something smaller. I cant decide whether to commit to the hardcase or not. I hear they break easily anyway. Does the softshell case seem decent? Could it take a small beating?

[tehorix789]

I don't have any experience with the hardcase, but the softcase is good enough, IMO, to take regular wear and tear. If you're playing gigs multiple times a week, and you tend to just throw stuff in a van, then I'd go for the hardcase.  But take care of the stuff, and the softcase is just fine.

[FreneticAmnesic89]

Okay thanks. I went ahead and got the softcase version. I'm going to buy a higher quality hardcase for it when I get some extra money. Thanks for the help.

[SamTalmadge]

What are those pedals you have under the Line 6's and next to the wah. Never seen em'....

[tehorix789]

From right to left: the Barber Tone Press (compressor/boost), the Hermida Audio Zendrive (often just called the Zendrive) which is a Dumble-esque overdrive pedal, and the Barber Direct Drive which is an overdrive/distortion pedal that is quite versatile, going from overdrive to Marshall-like tones.

[prettyoddtj]

i heard it comes with the velcro ?

does it ?

thanks

[tehorix789]

It does. I covered all available surfaces (well, on the top) with velcro, and there was still more left over. They also include those white plastic ties that you can use to keep power cables nice and neat.

[prettyoddtj]

oh cool cool

thanks !

god bless

[guitarnick914]

could the pedal power slot fit 2 dc bricks?

[tehorix789]

The actual pedal power unit can fit one standard power plug that you would connect into a wall outlet (but is not designed to power an amp).

[SamTalmadge]

just got one too. so helpful i love it.

[tehorix789]

Years ago, I thought I could never justify spending that kind of money on a piece of metal or wood. But now I see that's it's totally worth it. No more wrapping pedals in towels and stuffing them into a gym bag (that's how I used to transport them).

[haloandlink4627]

i have same tuner!lol

[HKP1994]

Nice pedals, I think Barber Electronics is porbably the best pedal company that most people haven't heard of. All of their stuff sounds good and is hand built. Gotta love the Fender Amps as well!!

[bolomsa]

cool )

[tehorix789]

No. The Pedaltrain just comes with the metal (aluminum) frame and the softcase (or hardcase, if that's what you order). Any pedal (or pedal power) units you have to buy on your own. The Pedal Power 2 by Voodoo Labs is pretty highly regarded. That product does come with power cables to power your pedals.

But try pedaltrainDOTcom for more pics, etc.

[fgr94martin]

Does it come with cables?

[HKP1994]

no...it looks like he has some george l's cables which you buy and put together yourself

[woodrn]

Got mine off EBay too... should be here any day now and paid $121 for the Pro as well. Can't wait to see it... Nice board man!

[tehorix789]

Thanks. And good luck with yours. Take your time setting it up. It pays off.

[warioblast]

You NEED to make a demo !!

[tehorix789]

lol, eventually. I think my neighbors might have had enough of my Super Reverb for one day. =)

[warioblast]

What did use to get that leslie tone on your "Temporaray Saint" video ? It was nice.

[tehorix789]

Glad you liked it. For all videos since the "Temporary Saint" video (including that one), I'm using the Line 6 Toneport UX2, which is an audio interface for the computer. It includes GearBox, which is Line 6's software.  It has a bunch of different amp simulators as well as effect simulators (Phase 90, Leslie, etc.). If you're gonna be doing any home recording I'd get one. Now they're called the POD Studio, and I believe you can get the GX for somewhere in the 50 - 100 dollar range.

[stihl29]

twin reverb demo PLZ like he said !

[Espoacdc]

hay man i can tell you that i got the smaller version of this not the junier but the middle one and it is the best pedalboard and it sure beats makeing your own

[tehorix789]

Exactly. That's what I eventually realized. Making your own pedalboard out of plywood and and case out of whatever other materials will not get you close to this quality and perfect design.

[warioblast]

Your board looks familiar. HCFX ? TGP ?

[tehorix789]

It's the Pedaltrain Pro SC (softcase)

[warioblast]

I thought I had already seen your board on harmony-central or on thegearpage forums.

[tehorix789]

lol, naw I just got this last week. Setting it up was actually fun, though. I used George L solderless cables for the patch cables. Very easy.

[SamTalmadge]

sweet set up man. How long have you been playing. your awesome!

[tehorix789]

Hey Sam. I've been playing for about 11 years now. How bout you? I see your channel says you're gonna start posting vids.

[SamTalmadge]

only bout 1 and a half years. I will be posting an audio only vid soon.
