When you say 95%, is the other 5% a Digitech Bad Monkey?





haha, no, just space for 1 more...I am thinking some kind of trem. May be. 

I just use the warped for trem. Sure it's not exhaustive as a trem but do ya need it to be? If you need space get that vol/wah off to the side of the board?

Good point, the WP can do trem like effects.  I was also thinking may be an analogue delay, just for that more warmer delay sound but then again, it's not "different" enough.  I am going to wait though, i am sure something will hit me in the face eventually.

Yea, your partner if you keep buying PRSi.

I'd assumed (not being familiar) that the Strymon had emulation for tape and analog delays?

They do....lol hence i am not, it's just an idea (albeit a stupid one).

As for PRSi...look what also came this week !

Very pretty. You should just keep that and the black one and sell the others ;-p

I think we need this board in the "Lets hear your pedalboard thread"

This. 

That's some great kit you've got there...the pretty photos are one thing....but get going and make some noise with this stuff.

how heavy?
I've got one of the diago boards and it weighs more than most of my amps!

erm, it weights around the same as my Bogner 1x12 cab.  Not sure, it's not light but still manageable with 1 hand.

Hope you don't mind me asking, but where did you get your patch cable and connectors from? Looks awesome by the way.

I needed 5 packs because of the DPC5...

Congrats. You take great pics but makes it a bit hard to see the actual pedals with all the blur!





Ask and you shall receive!

MrSwanson

Dare I ask, how much did this cost?

It is a bit...that is the only down side.

er, I actually keep a spreadsheet.

I think the are around £3k on the board, including the board (there are pedals that are not on there)

It's silly how much they add up, the lava kit i needed 5 for all the plugs, that came to like £255.  The PSU alone is £300.  The board itself about £650.

The scary thing is that I think I only paid UK rrp for 1 pedal on there (the Colour Box), the rest I either got from Thomann's, the States (came through unscathered by customs) or secondhand (DPC-5, £180 I recall), I always look for sales or discounts too.

MrSwanson

The actual board looks amazing! I'd love something like that myself but could never justify the outlay, when it could be put towards more pedals ;-)

RaymondLin

The board is for a life time, the tweed will age with it, as with the leather handle and corners.  Something I thought hard about, it is expensive but I think of it like a luthier guitar

 

I know someone here actually built one himself in his garage but I don't have the tools or the skill nor the time for such project and I think he said in the end he fully understand why one of these costs the amount it does.  The materials are not cheap when you are only buying in such small amount, and the tools used are not cheap either.

MrSwanson

It's definitely an investment and something like you say to have forever! I think I'll get saving up the pennies!

I'd love to be able to have the skills and tools, I'd imagine it to be very satisfying.

More importantly have you decided what's going in the gaps!?!

I thought having a pedal board was about having as many nice looking flashing boxes as possible!

At the moment, silence, I had to take the PSU out to fit another because I ordered an analogue delay and a phaser...
