A useful tip - I always lay out my whole board with the Velcro covered in cloth or paper to stop everything sticking together until I’m ready. Saves a lot of effort seating and unseating pedals. When I’m ready, remove the paper and press the two velcro halves together

A tip if you want a more permanent solution than Velcro: Most pedals have screws on each corner. Remove 2 diagonally opposite screws. Get "master links" for bicycle chain, and use the flat figure-8 shaped sides (you can get a dozen for a couple bucks). Screw one end of the master link to the pedal corners, then you can screw the other end down to the pedal board It's a good solution if you don't change your pedal board often

I'm a bit older than Rick, so the phrase, "First, you have to shop for your pedals" made me chuckle, because I was buying them in sequence be fore the concept existed. My first fuzz box was something called a "Fuzzder", and they tricked me by using the Fender font on the "F". I was 11, so 1966 or so. Then I heard "White Room" and said "What's that?" A few years later someone said "Son, I said son, what you need is a "chorus"! You get the idea . . .

Love the idea of the pedal board setup. About 80 percent of the pedal chain would be set up how you would expect, but where I have found some unexpected nuance is to get a few eq pedals and set different parameters on them, experiment with some different placements of eq in the chain as well, and you can really change up your guitar sound with the push of a button- as boring as some people perceive an eq pedal to be

@MrJoakimBergman 5 жыл бұрын

Just found this very impressive high quality channel with massive and great edu. stuff. Now, I have been playing the guitar for plus 20 years and my worn out wah wah triggered me to upgrade pedals an the board. Not too surprisingly, I had way too many pedals (9-11) in series on my old board. Despite top quality signal cables, the original sound signal was/will be semi-corrupt and the dynamics when playing was/is quite crappy. Builded a new board last summer. Fortunately, I did my theory homework and bought a Boss ES-8. Seriously an magnificent product that eliminates all issues with boards like this. Yes, it is not for free and it takes some space but this i so worthwile (I custom made a 2 floor pedal board to get max space). Boss ES-8 = excellent sound independently on how many pedals you add (have mini series if 2 when using more than 8 pedals). The Strymons sounds superior in the effect loop om my rig. This I write only to inform those pedal collectors that were not aware of the guitarists key issue problem solver. Obviously there are also alternatives. I love my new pedal board also in the aspect of ”no more pedal dancing” as the ES-8 is a computer :)

To anyone who reads the Comments, here some additional tips. Use Gaff tape (or masking or painters tape) on or near the power supply to mark which plug is going to which pedal. This will help you keep track of what's plugged in where for trouble shooting if it comes to that. I would.also suggest 3m dual lock tape to velcro, simply because it.holds stronger AND doesn't attract dust or lint or fuzz. For gigging guitarists this keeps your board extra tidy. In this example the guys went right to left from the top, then crossed back to the bottom row and went RTL again. Depending on what cables you have available, you can go in a zig zag pattern (top right to bottom right, to top left, to bottom left, top left, bottom left, etc) if you want to.make sure certain more commonly used Pedals are in front vs the back. Great work Rick (and rhett) love the channels. If anyone appreciates these extras please listen to a song or two o. My channel and give it a like!!

@ronfrey5327 6 жыл бұрын

Sean also an axe ii player here, im using an octa switch before the front of axe ii and taking any pedals I want which are not in the axe or I like better ect before the front input and you can setup pairs of pedals as favorites so you can do essentially the same as what Rick just said USE TRUE bypss switching and have all your pedals out before the axe fx and route them how ever you like and you just save what ever other efx on mfc to on so they come on along with the rest or stay of ect... This way you can fly all your pedals before the axe and through it and mix it all unity or above or below to taste, then compare with efx inside the axe fx by turning the actual pedal on and off and ABng the two and tweaking to taste.. I did this with a full drive and ff and well all my pedals and it works the settings on your pedal might vary to the internal ones in axe so go by ear till both are identical and save as inside the axe and in library and name it as such so you know its a tone matched actual physical pedal you own and saved from that.... some efx just cant replace the real deal and you might fly those before the front end and use switching and pairing channels you always want on say delay and chorus and reverb or delay and fuzz or flanger to be on at same time well you can also stack efx up and find unity and adjust and they are then one touch button control over as many as 3-4 efx per channel if needed and if somethings are not always on such as leslie or flanger or univibe I stack those up and turn them on manually on floor as needed in groupings of 2 or more. So you can cherry pick what you use most and pair those up and then add on or off efx with those.... stacking efx that are not used alot but essential to a specific sound.... Thought you might enjoy trying that I sure did now im spoiled worse....

One thing to be mindful of is the bottoms of the pedals. Many have rubber/some other material that is often problematic for the hook and loop tape to (adequately) stick to. As such, it is necessary to remove such bottom material--and adhesive residue--so the hook and loop tape can be applied directly to the metal/plastic housing.

When I built my Pedaltrain Nano pedal board, I did put some planning into it and it paid off. I used custom built and tested 4 inch Lava cables with Switchcraft pancake jack connectors and used a Volto Lithium Ion battery. Result was clean signal chain with no noise. This made my Mesa Express Plus 5:50 very happy. Board holds a Carbon Copy Delay, MXR single knob Chorus, Distortion and TC Tuner pedals. Very portable and cleanly routed, rock solid stability. Ran everything through the front end with great success. As I learn more I'll take another stab at it to add pedals.

A whammy bar wasn't an available option back when I ordered mine. (I was told they considered them a fad that had passed) I was fortunate to buy a licensed Wlikinson that Carvin was offering before they discontinued them. The only thing I'm dropping from the original wiring (I found a set of the original 22-pole pickups on eBay) is the stereo outputs. I never used it on my 150. So I have a goal on the horizon and hope to get there one of these days. [Grin] Best of Luck with your hands. I still wake up every morning with a song playing in my head... Don

@@kilgoretrout3966 ; This has worked for me; I use a product called DMSO on my hands for arthritis pain. It comes either in a liquid or gel. I rub it in like any hand lotion. It absorbs quickly and has never affected any guitar finishes. DMSO has been around for decades and it sure does work for arthritis, especially in hands. You can order it online. Worth a try. Don't give up.
