Great video and insight. I recently scaled down my live rig from ten pedals to three plus a tuner on a Pedaltrain Nano. Getting back to playing and singing and less tap dancing. Freedom.

Appreciated JJ. Your thoroughness was considered and invaluable. Vocational expertise? Rare gift. You've got it. Great work.

Aww! My kitty loves to paw at my pedals and lie on them while I am playing .Plus, our cats look very similar. Liked and favorited video just for the cat!

Great Video and instruction. I am coming back to playing after many years away (kids, mortgage etc) and am realising how much I missed in the intervening years. Nice to hear and see the basics explained. Thank You!

Putting my pedaltrain together today for bass, with tuner, overdrive, Samson wireless and a direct box. This was really helpful. Thank you.

I like to watch professional and serious videos about music gear like this one, thanks 🙏

Well, I'm sold. The size of it looks perfect for easy transport. Great video! :-)

JJ your videos are always smooth you're always neat and have a lot of integrity excellent demo as usual

Thanks - great post - created my first pedal board today following your guidance! Appreciate it!

Excellent instructional video. Someday soon I will be building one of these!

You were so helpful here, thank you! I really enjoyed this.

Beginning to end, a well done video!

VERY smart choice of pedals in my opinion

Great video and backround music!

Thanks for the nice review!

Excellent explanation, thank you.

Great video JJ

Great video and great explanation..:)

`Cool board and kitty catty! :)

I use the pedaltrain Nano too with the pedaltrain Volto and I'm really happy! I'd like to hear some demo of that pedalboard, it would be awesome! Have a nice day :)

Thanks for the informative video.

Nice. May I suggest Lava Cables. They have very small plugs (solderless too). It's very easy to mount and incredibly reliable.

Nice job on the video.

Whether a pedalboard is a nano, which I dig or a nano plus that holds up to 6 full size pedals, snark tuners still exist. A Tuner in a pedal takes up pedalboard space for an effect pedal. Space that could be used for a compressor pedal or an overdrive or delay pedal or modulation effect

thanks i just did mine and it awesome

i have those yellow fender custom leads. amazing.

Well done

Awesome review JJ... now that the crop of "mini" pedals have proven themselves, this is a GREAT idea. I need to make a couple ASAP cause my current board bugs me for what I'm doing currently and I always make a compromise by just taking maybe the Wah off the board and throwing it in for blues jams while I have a bunch of pedals I kinda don't use because I have my "main rig". Think it's time to sell some old pedals and get myself a few new "mini's" to make up some of these "grab and go" boards. As usual, great vid mate.

Well done! thanks

Micro cube rocks. Specially if you play a booster like a TS in the Brit combo channel.

13:09 TC Electronic Polytune Mini (tuner) -> Catalinbread Karma Suture (fuzz) -> Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master (reverb + delay) -> TC Electronic Ditto Looper (looper)

All I need are a boost/distortion, tuner, and delay. This leaves room for either a tremolo or fuzz. I like to keep it simple so it doesnt get in the way of the real guitar work

"i recommend you get a guitar and amp youre really happy with..." *looks over at roland cube*

Superb video

Hey you should use dual lock tape by 3m. Much stronger and cleaner

This could really benefit from something like a Rowin pedal, which is incredibly small. It's about the size of the polytune/ditto looper. maybe a little smaller

nice video :)

Excellent video I am using a Volto equipped Nano for my Blues Harp. Any suggestion pedal packed Nano for playing Blues guitar directly through the PA?

thanks for the video. i would really love to know what guitar that is in the background!

Can you go from this Pedal-board to a P.A.? I play acoustic and I've been looking for a way to do a simple set up like this.....Good job you are very easy to listen to and watch.....

JJ! Do you know where in Europe you can get those patch cables? Btw great video!!

Hey JJ, I'm really interested in the Karma Suture, I keep seeing little clips of it and hearing people talk about it and love it, but I can't seem to find any decently in depth clips of it. Would you mind doing a proper review of it, or at very least just telling me some of your thoughts on it?

TIP: what I ususally do before attaching the pedals on the board,( especially with lager boards) is first cover the bottom of the pedals with a piece of cardboard the size of the pedal using tape, so you can move around easily while positioning all the pedals.

curious about how the board with pedals fit back into the bag, snug fit or loose moving around?

My friend was just suggesting that I get this because of it's size. He said it was made for smallish stuff like mine. I have a whole 3 pedals and as you know they are sort of expensive, so I'd like to keep them safe and protected. I have a question. Once you got your pedals on the board did the whole thing fit back into the bag? it looked padded. Was the bag padded? Thanks bro. T.

Lots of room on the Nano board, could you have put the power supply on the board? Or, was there a reason you did not put PS on the board?

How do you line the wires up beside each other? Is the kind of pedal I have and it just doesn’t work? I have a wah pedal, a boss DS-1 distortion pedal, and a boss CE-2W chorus pedal. It doesn’t wire up like yours does. On mine the input and output are on opposite sides output on left and input on the right. (Output as the amplifier and input as the instrument.) so I have to wire them and make the cable on the amp bend and it breaks within a week, is there something wrong?

Digitech drop pedal--->tuner--->Blackstar Metal pedal LT.

I wish I knew what I know now about what I like for my tone, I would have bought less pedals and would have gotten a PT nano. My life could have been easier that way. By the way, don't know if you still have this rig, but if you do, and you want to add some more juice, you should get a Zoom MS-70CDR instead of the Earthquake.

Hi jj. Do You Play this board into the micro cube?

I'd put the tuner last so that you have a mute switch for the delays or the feedback that the fuzz/overdrive can cause

Have you ever tried the empress fuzz pedal?

Do Boss pedals fit on this pedalboard?

When are you going to demo the Karma Suture?

Ok :-) So you have the same "problem" as i , Cats and Cables :-)

I'm going to build a smaller board to use for teaching too

Great vid JJ, Thanks. 2 ?'s. Because u only have 4 peds does that mean u don't need a power supply? If so, what is the # of pedals u.can use before needing a power supply? Thanks You.

What brand patch cable are you using?

3:30 also could work with keeleu caverns v1

I wonder why they designed the gigbag that way. It's so hard get the board in and out. The Nano+ has a Gigbag that can be opened almost completely so that it's very easy to get to the pedalboard...

No room for power supply though?

Could you fit a cry baby somewhere into the case (like, in a pocket)? Thanks

does it fit back in the nano bag with all the pedals on ?

went from a Pedaltrain Jr to a Pedaltrain 1... and I always wonder why... I don't like a lot of effects, I'm gonna go get a mini just to see if I can go bare bones and still sound good

I want a pedal board nano like this Guitar----overdrive,chorus,reverb,delay---amplifier I was curious if the reverb goes before or after the delay like Guitar----overdrive,chorus,delay,reverb---amplifier Which one is right!

hi jj! in which part of the pedal chain would you put a compressor pedal? cheers!

Cat, cat!

Trip on

Is it a digital delay?

When you say putting the looper "last" do you mean closest to the amp or closest to your guitar? Which end is considered last?

Cool but around the 13 min mark there was no telling at all what you were doing with the zip ties. Some close ups with decent lighting would have helped.

Why are yellow zip ties more suitable for pedalboard?

Put the connecting wires in the slot, not on top of the board!

Hi Tanis, I'm A Acoustic Guitarist, as for beginner using pedal, are this that you mention good for my start.?

Why is there a loud guitar playing while you're talking? Talk about the exact last thing needed. Other wise good video.

Could i get 5 pedals on it if they are the size of catalinbread.

P

Tuners on a pedalboard are a waste. The clip on ones work great. Who cares what they look like.

Boring 😴
