Your Pedalboard aspirations 2015.

Gassage

So what are you thinking of and where going? MIDI switcher? Downsize? Upscale?

Me-

I am desperate to find a Cornish TES 240v with modulations - I refuse to pay over £1500 for one and they're going for £2000+ If I could find the original mark 1 with the boss switches I'd deffo have it- it footswitches between tape and digital which the mark 2 doesn't and it goes further in delay darkness. If I do I'll ditch the Free the tone, and probably both modulation pedals. Might keep modulations though -undecided.

I have an OC1 incoming 1s quarter next year- the Cornish Comp.

If I could find a superflanger I would kill for one.

I might also go back to one amp as I always, always end up flicking the Hiwatt on. It sounds better at low vols than the princeton does on medium ones.

So- a kind of upquality, downscale.

Not sure. Right now, my setup is extremely stripped down, for me anyway! Volume pedal and wah are constants. Now it's just with a Zoom G3, Phase 90, and a Boss tuner.

I am very curious about the Fractal FX8. On paper it would do everything I want, and apparently the 4-cable-method performance is exceptional. So it is giving me pause for thought. Initially I was worried about the price... but fuck it... you only live once!

I'm intruiged by the Fractal have to say.....Scott Petersen has been helping with the patches etc and he is very knowledgable.

I have 3 pedals on my list.

Wampler Velvet Fuzz

EQD The Depths

EHX B9 or C9 (not sure which yet)

I would quite like a good tap tempo delay but I haven't researched them yet.

Do consider Chrono. It's bloody brilliant.

I was looking at the FX8 as well but for the money, I could just use the same pedals I

Yeah but he's a cunt.

Definitely going MIDI, and upping the quality of the pedals I do have.
Gonna Sell my Joyo US Drive probably, as it's covered by Jamup and get a BOSS NS-2 to replace my Behringer cheapie noise gate. 
Move on my wah, and get 2 midi expression pedals for wah and whammy effects.

Ummmm slightly narcissistic I would say...

I've recently downsized...in the past i have 12-13 pedal boards, i'd buy a bunch of pedals and they would be on my board constantly and for each song i would use a different dirt/fuzz pedal with certain artists in mind. Even on clean settings it was never the clean sound of my amp as it went through a bunch of pedals, again, trying to channel artists or songs that i really liked and influenced me.

Now...i've focused on what sound do i want to make thats distinct to me only. I almost want my own signature sound rather than copying or trying to copy someone else. The other factor is I want this sound to be consistent and not change all the time. BTW...all this thinking only came about with my latest amp which has the sweetest tone of any amp i have heard or played.

So, by board now, consists of Wah, 1 Distortion pedal, 1 OD pedals, 1 Phaser, 1 delay, and 1 reverb...and a tuner

My clean tones are either just the amp, or with some kind of echo and or phase...my dirty tone is the distortion pedal only and if i want a boost i kick in the OD pedal.

For the future...i want to keep my board this simple regardless, and if anything is going to change, for example i want a different dirt tone, then i put a new dirt pedal on, and take the old one off.

A decent actual pedalboard rather than a piece of chipboard, maybe a reverb or trem

@simonbeckwith

I have a flightcased one you can have that's roughly 30 x 14 - £50 + shipping at cost.

frankus

Midi connectors, patch cables, maybe power supplies but NO MORE F***ing pedals!!!

Mostly to play it out at gigs rather than rehearsals or at home. Our Police covers band - now called The Bill - is coming along very nicely, we should do some recording and get our website together in the new year.

Definitely going to pick up a decent-quality floor-mount acoustic preamp for my resonator. Beyond that, nothing I really NEED unless I start playing six-string with a band again; in which case I shall require a tremolo and a wah at the very least.

Oh and there's lots more....

Better pedalboard or at least just put what I've got together better.
Possibly better expression pedal, my Roland is too physically lightweight for size 11 boots.

if you get the Dope Priest and you want to flip it...i'm calling dibs now!

2015 is looking like a major clear out on the pedal front. Probably about 20 or so pedals will be leaving and hopefully I'll resist the urge to just replace then with a new ones that do the same thing but in a different coloured shiny enclosure!

ThorpyFX

2015 is the year i want to see my Thorpyfx branded pedals on every guitarists pedalboard  

EricTheWeary

Sorry, just to amend my earlier post - a ThorpyFX pedal on my board!



The 20% off for members of TheFB will make them an absolute steal...
