Ross' New Pedalboard Setup 9/16/11

Hey guys! My dad and I just finished building my new flight case pedalboard setup. We used some wood to make the pedalboard and mounted it into a flight case. There is a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus underneath the board, along with some wall warts and cables. The signal chain goes like this: TC Electronic Polytune (replaced temporarily by the Korg Pitchblack), EHX POG2, Dunlop Crybaby, Ernie Ball VP Jr., Boss RV-3, Visual Sound Route 66, Fulltone OCD, Xotic BB Plus, Radial Tonebone Classic, Eventide Modfactor, EHX Cathedral, Boss DD-20, Line 6 DL4, BBE Sonic Stomp. This all runs into either my Marshall Bluesbreaker Reissue (most of the time), or my USA Fender Blues Deville 2x12. The guitars I use are my '93 Fender Strat Plus, my '87 Greco Les Paul Custom, my '08 Gibson SG, my '11 Fender Blacktop Jazzmaster, and my vintage Palmer ES-335 copy. I use this to lead worship at my church in Oconomowoc, WI. This gear is to be used for God's glory, and His glory alone! Thanks for checking it out, and God bless!

just look for a delay to toggle between presets . How about the M5? It's expression pedal controllable.

[hubar1565]

@timtheflyguy i have not used the M5 personally, but it looks like a lot of variety in a small box, probably a good buy in any case :) i can't vouch for the ease of use on it though, looks like it might not be as straight forward as the M9 or M13

[timtheflyguy]

To God be the Glory! Great how you make sure to praise him ! Anyway, I am auditioning for a praise band, I havn't played in a long time , and I am looking for "my sound". I heard you say something about the Line 6 pedal, and was wondering what is bad about them . I was thinking of getting the M13, and be done, or do you think individual pedals are the way to go? Thank you and keep praising his name!

[hubar1565]

@timtheflyguy He deserves all the praise! but I'm sure you know that already :) if you are on a budget, and you have an amp you like, the M13 is an awesome place to start. i had one and it has soooo many options and features for what it costs. you could get one for around $350 or less if you want used (if you take the time to wait on ebay for a little while), you will also find that it will turn you on and off to certain effects because you can try them all!

[hubar1565]

@timtheflyguy i like my pedals because they all do their own things very well (much more expensive), whereas the M13 does a ton of things, and does them poorly/adiquately/well/very well. i LOVED the verbs and delays, modulation was great, didn't like the OD's/DIST's. however, if the verbs and delays and maybe a couple other things is all you're after, you could save space and $25-$50 and get the M9. all the same effects, a little less overwhelming with buttons and options. hopefully that helps!

Do you have trouble with the noise from the route 66 compression side? I just picked one up and it is unbearably noisy.

[hubar1565]

@mrcooldollars i actually am shipping that pedal away tomorrow lol, but yes, it got very noisy at higher sustain levels. i could avoid the noise if i kept the sustain control down, but even then it was never a silent compressor. i think besides the noise it is a decent compressor on a budget as long as you like the TS sound too. i actually only used it when i'd strum a chord that i wanted to get feedback from, then i'd turn it off immediately. i'm going to post another video with an update soon!

How many delay pedals do you need? A good suggestion would be to strategically place a couple of buffers on that board; to help with the signal/ tone degradation. Another thing you might want to consider is using a Morley product (wha) at the beginning of the chain, as they drive long runs. Another good pedal I found to remedy the volume degradation is the MXR Micro Amp. Also, it doesn't matter when you're running this many pedals about 'true bypass;' it's still going to rob the tone.

[spicecrop]

If your volume pedal sucks tone then believe me you are having problems with it. Tone suckers need to go.

[timtheflyguy]

I like the Idea of having the scenes set up where there's an effect waiting for you when you switch one off the other is on, but if the unit is a" tone sucker" than the convenience isn't worth it! I have some old 80's DOD pedals that work just fine , and a Digitech tsr 12 Rackmount that I used to use , but it is a pain trying to get a good preset. I guess I really just need a good delay that I could toggle between presets. I use the distortion on my amp)Mesa Boogie Trem o Verb) so maybe Jus
