Behold my massive board of pedals

Took this monster out on Friday night, there was hum
There are many more things than I need on it, but some work with different amps/guitars and it's easier to have just the one board really.

It's a Harley Benton spaceship 80 with a Donner DP-3 powering it all

One day I'll work out how to take a decent photo indoors, but until then . . .

The Count To 5s used to be quite close together, but recent sessions have encouraged me to spread them out a bit

The pedals on the top row of the furthest right stand are there mostly to stop me thinking about buying anything else, and I now have every pedal I own plugged in.

How on earth do you power all that?!

I’m taking it every pedal there is in one huge chain to amp?

I have to confess that it does amuse me - There are currently (I think) 13 power supplies (mostly cheap chinese ones bought from Amazon) plugged into 4 multi-plug extension leads with numerous daisy chains in all directions. With no pedals switched on but with the amp on and a guitar plugged in there is a small amount of noise at the volume I record at, but you have to put your head against the amp to hear it.

It is basically one long 35 pedal chain, apart from the Miku which is plugged into a feedback looper pedal.

The RC-50 isn't plugged in at the moment but I am planning to use it at some point.

It is ridiculous, but that's part of the fun for me

Almost done, decent power supply that'll fit under the board and a phaser pedal and I'll be calling it a day.

Awesome! Haha.

Its good to see/hear that it isnt a problem in having that many pedals all chained.

I’m guessing there are buffered pedals in that lot, but can you say you notice any cable related tone suck vs direct in?

I did run a test with a mate listening and IIRC the only noticeable difference was a slight drop in volume, but I can't remember which was which now

Ya, but where do you place your buffer?

Gagaryn · August 2018

This is mine, signal is wah - tuner - comp - klone - deco - phaser - delay - reverb - trem - trio. Powered by a zuma.

Cheers mate, it's one of the Alder and Ash ones. Red Oak if I remember right.
Very nice thing it is too.

Right then, done! So. Much. Midi.

That looks tight as - I'm not smart enough to understand how/what is patched to what and how you wired your expression etc, but that looks wild. What are you using for power? The bottom as neat as well?

its pretty neat, yeah. none of this bespoke right angles only cabling, but its tidy and concise. The expression pedal is wired into the feedback of the Moog. we run Midi clock from our laptop live electronics into a thru box underneath my board. This is then split; its goes directly to my looper so that live looping is always bang in time with the rest of the bands electronics, and it also goes into the Morningstar MC6 Midi controller. This clock is then fed to the Moog, Polymoon, Ottobit, H9 and Warped Vinyl so that all clocked stuff is also in time, and it also sends PC / CC midi changes to the H9, Moog, the three Meris and the two Chase Bliss. (theres a Chase bliss midibox underside too, feeding the Meris and Chase Bliss pedals).

Its all powered by a Cioks / Eventide Powerfactor 2 connected via their link series to a Cioks Schizophrenic, so thankfully the whole board is one plug into the mains.

My head has just exploded lol

Here's the latest incarnation with CE1 and EM under the board.

New board:

Some gigs don't need a wah so I'm happy to have that off the board.
95q, centura klone, kot, ethos od, el cap, dm2, flint.

dm2 is on all the time with a quiet slapback and el cap for longer delays, klon for a lead boost at the moment with the kot for low gain but I might swap that when after I've gigged it.

Snags · August 2018

Inspired by the Huddersfield jam, thrown together a jam/convenience/small space board, rather than lashing something up by ripping stuff out of the main one. Inevitably despite having a drawer full of patch leads, all the proper short ones were cheap crap, but I doubt it will make any practical difference in my world.
