Do you provide a bespoke service, i.e. could I buy this ready made board??

[TheGigRigDaniel]

HI @sifender56 , we are just starting our bespoke service, so yes, contct me through the website and we'll chat . cheers ;)

I actually just sent a detailed e-mail to benny at the gigrig, explaining my process of wiring my board, and how the 2nd distributer only powered up once, but has been dead since then. Regarding the guitar, I don't know whether or not my PRS Custom 24 has an exceedingly high output or not. However, once this pedalboard is finally working, I look forward to seeing if the pre-boost buffer fixes the problem of the BB. Otherwise, I'm going to have to ship it to Xotic for modification.

@georgeorlando705 if you could resend the email to me daniel@thegigrig(dot)com and i'll check it out, also send a pic. There could be a really simple solution of a passive volume control in the loop before the bb. talk soon ;)

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Still having difficulty powering my pedalboard and Gig Rig; one of the distributers was only on once, for a minute, but has been powerless since. So I'm not up and running yet. I was planning on going from my PRS custom 24 into a volume and wah pedal, then to the input of the Gig Rig. The BB Preamp pedal was to be in the third loop, after my compressor and Boss Blues Driver.

@georgeorlando705 Hi mate, no problem. The BB should be absolutley fine after that lot. ARe you using a guitar with really high output? When you say the Distributor was on,y on for one minute, are you having probles with it? If so just email me and we'll get it hard. Hard to go into intricate detail on the rig here. Talk soon ;)

Hi @georgeorlando705 are you using a pre amp into the BB? The Pre-boost buffer is always the first in the chain when it is on. As long as the BB is first in the chain then yes, but what guitar are juicing the BB with that is giving it so much gain?

[georgeorlando705]

Hey, Daniel. I have an old Xotic BBPreamp pedal which allows an unpleasant amount of bypass tone to be heard along with the processed gain. Xotic says this is because the signal going into the pedal may be more than -10 dB. So, after seeing this video, is it correct to say that lowering the pre-boost buffer on that specific loop will theoretically cut my signal to the BBPreamp so that it is less than -10 dB?

hi @JaguarHolocaust . does the peavey have the option the use a standard 1/4" jack for switching?

[JaguarHolocaust]

can I use this to switch between my clean and dirty channels on my Peavey 6505 plus instead of the 7 pin footswitch it came with?
