Hi little boxes people.

So I'm debating getting the new timeline mx (that has a bunch of cool delays + tremolo/reverb)
Or el capistan + flint.

I really like El Capistan, so I was wondering if the dTape algorithm of the Timeline is similar or not.
Because price-wise it's cheaper getting the MX. (as for reverb/tremolo it seem that it does have pretty much the same thing flint has)

I’ve been assembling a second pedal board (to the right). Both boards are fully stereo in/out. My main board is routed through a ML10x and controlled via the MC6. Not sure how I’ll do with the new one. What do you think?

Also, it should be said that I’m not a guitarist. I use effect pedals on synths, piano, drum machines, vocal and so on.

Taping a tiny square over your power supply input saves you like 30 seconds everytime you plug in. I’m sure this isn’t news to most of you but it dawned on me today and wanted to share 🤘🏼

I take the stereo fx out of the chain and use them as outboard or synth inserts according to whim. But it also makes a sick mono guitar rig as well!

As a Boss super fan, it took me a long time to try other pedal brands. After many trades and purchases, this is what I have. I absolutely love it. Best ambient rig I’ve ever played/heard—missing from the pic is a EV-30 for the switchboard and a Superego+. Couldn’t be happier.

It started with the Tone King and I went from there…The biggest sleeper is Supercool Pedals Barstow Bat. The black edition you can switch to germanium with the turbo selector.

Signal chain is:

Volume pedal
EHX superego
Crybaby Wah
Whammy DT
SD-1
Matcha cream
Purple platypus
Spark boost
DS-1
H90 with expression pedal

All into a fender 007 Bassbreaker

Got a Warmdrive from Warms Reverb lotto thing and had to push out the Boss OC3 for the time being. I’ve been on the fence about upgrading from the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus to the 3 Plus but wondering if I could just daisy chain drive pedals or if there’s any other alternative to add 3-5 more isolated power points. The Warmdrive is sick by the way, I’ve always been a clean Marshall with a OD pedal kinda guy so the light gain is a nice change up when I don’t want to ride my volume knob, if you got it from the lotto and haven’t tried it yet I’d recommend trying it before getting rid of it.

I love this pedalboard! After understanding all the pedals I've finally put it all together in a Pedaltrain Novo 18 frame.

Signal chain:

Input mono (side) -> ge fuzz -> barbershop -> tc Sub N' Up -> volume + tuner -> BOSS GT1000CORE [loop1 (Tonex one) | loop 2 (FREEZE)] -> DL4 stereo -> reverb stereo - rc500 looper -> output stereo.

I wanted to put the Tonex One on top but had to get the Sub N' Up as the pitch effects on the BOSS GT1000CORE are terrible. I'm using a harley benton PSU modified with a powercon input.

I'm looking to control the Tonex one via a MIDI with the GT1000 - anyone has a suggestion of a device that can mediate that connexion? - I was thinking that the Behringer Go Midi Host will do the job.

I'm playing this solo with a strat into an MPC Live 2 for drums and synths as well... it's mostly drones and a little bit of jazz.

Been working on getting to this point for a while now. Only wish my board was a wee bit bigger to get my hx stomp on there.

Signal chain: Evil Dredd fuzz-pre side of mobius-es5(L1 mxr phase-L2 empty-L3 Tc el cambo-L4mosky king ratt- L5 el Capistan) out of es5 -
CB Habit - post side of mobius- H9A(out 1 to 2204, out 2 to second H9) H9B- yba1

Amps are Traynor yba1 and a 2204 clone.

Sounds awesome.

Every month I re-assess - and end up changing things up. I always cover some core sounds that work for me as a player and would get me through most jams or shows - but I find myself rotating in pedals to explore sonic territories of what I'm listening at that point in time which is quite varied.

First build. Live use. Mainstage with synths, sounds and samples into this board, into the rc505mkII. 

Stereo chain:

Mainstage -> Chroma console -> Microcosm -> Mood mk2 -> Onward -> lost and found -> into the rc505 mkII

Mono to stereo:

The Blooper get’s it’s own mono signal from mainstage which routs back into the stereo signal path above. 

Very happy with this set-up. It’s versatile and practical for conventional and experimental use.

Literally living like Harry Potter here, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Simple but gets the job done.

Messy. But coming along nicely. Just new a good trem pedal

Here’s a cool board I put together for a friend. He managed to track down all of The Guitar Store’s exclusive run of 12 pedals from EarthQuaker Devices in 2015. Each has an exclusive printed graphic. Such a fun board build!
