Pedal Line Friday.

I‘ve been playing lead guitar in a 4-piece classic rock cover band for about 3-1/2 years; it’s become my “Act 2” after retirement. The last time I played in a gigging band was back in college, a LOOONG time ago! The other guys in the band are also retired or almost retired and we’re not in this for the money (good thing, too!).The band is called Love Medicine and we’re in southeast Florida (in and around Jupiter).This is my current pedalboard, on a Pedaltrain Classic Jr. with a...

I love your cables and use them everyday in my studio. This Pedalboard is my recording board. The signal chain and pedals are as follows: signal from guitar to the Vox tuner VXT1{not Shown) then into a Seeker Electric Effects Zonk Fuzz (Fuzz I was using at the time I also have a KingTone Mini Fuzz and Thorpy "The Boneyard" Fuzz to choose from for a Germanium flavor.) The signal from the Zonk goes to the DS Custom Audio Octave Blender a COB style Fuzz then the signal goes to my One Control...

I'm Lead Guitar for Monica Robins, a kickass singer in Cleveland, Ohio. We have a Country Band and a Classic Rock Band and play a variety of venues from Bars & Private Events to Stadiums & Festivals. I've also played live and recorded for Mike Onesko.I use 2 main pedalboard rigs: a Friedman 1317 Pedalboard for most shows and a Friedman 1520 board for the larger venues.I like the 2-level layout of Friedman boards along with the wire routing and integration of his Power...

I'm Loren and here's my bass pedalboard for my fuzzy Post-Punk Shoegaze band based out of Bozeman, MT. We're called Dog-Eared and we just released our first EP called "Cellophane Birds EP". It's out on all streamers, and we keep updated on @dogeared406 on instagram.Here's the board currently, I tend to change my chain around quite a bit. I'm always trying new (to me) stuff, mostly vintage and used pedals, Reverb.com is frequented. A lot of what you're looking at was used on the recording of...

Heyo!Thought I would send over a little pedal board breakdownThis is a wet/dry rig that starts with an Ernie Ball volume pedal and Boss TU-3 tuner. From there a Keeley Noble Screamer (ODR-1/Tube Screamer clone set to the ODR-1 setting) lays on overdrive before going into the Boss GE-7 EQ pedal where you can sculpt the tone before the Morley Buffer/Boost provides a little added juice. The signal then goes into a Rattlesnake ABY pedal with one channel going into a 1966 Fender Bassman...

Hey there! Thanks for doing Pedal Line Friday. Details on my bass pedalboard below.I recently built out a new, smaller bass board using a Pedaltrain Metro 20, Voodoo Lab X4, and Rattlesnake patch cables with pancake ends. Pedals in order of signal chain.Rattlesnake Retro Coily Cable with gold ends.Peterson Strobo Stomp HD - This is the first strobe tuner I’ve owned, it lives up to the hype and has some cool features.Keeley C4 compressor - Easy to dial in, plays well with other pedals, adds...

My humble pedal board:Order - Tuner, Compressor, Timmy, Nobels ODR reissue, Hotcake, EP Booster, MXR script Phase 90, Strymon El Capistan Delay, Zvex Super Hard OnAmps - Tungsten Tweed Bandmaster, Matchless HC30 or 1963 Vox AC30. Usually I run two amps at most shows. I switch with a soft touch Fulltone A/B box.Also used a Brown Box for voltage regulation at most gigs.All Rattlesnake cables going guitar to board and board to amp. Also all Rattlesnake speaker cables for heads and...

So this is my xactone solutions assembled pedal board. Best board I've ever used. It is mounted to a trailer trash angled board and powered underneath with walrus phoenix . Pedal chain is as follows: R Weaver violet vibe: I use this one for to reasons one or sounds like a vintage vibe and 2 Mr. Weaver is a super nice guy. Sketchy Sounds hot snakes fuzz: I was looking for a fuzz saw this one. It was one sale so I impulsed sand bought it. It's almost too much, but hire that thick nasty spot we all...

My primary gigging pedalboard. The board itself is a Schmidt Array SA250. I was introduced to the Schmidt Array boards sometime in 2020. The world was shutdown, gigging wasn't happening, and all we could do was obsess over gear. A friend had a custom board built and I was intrigued. I now own two of them. This SA250 and a SA750, the latter of which is primarily a pedal testing/proving platform that rarely leaves my home studio. The SA250 comes with me to all my gigs as it has all my personal "I...

My board is small, cheap, and a work in progress. I only play at open mikes. I use a Vevor board. I start wit a NUX NFB-2 Lacerate Fet boost. It has a dual boost as the primary boost is fairly clean. By holding the button down it kicks in another level and can really make it crank. That runs into a Donner Alpha Cruncher. For under a $100 you get 3 effects, Delay, Chorus, and Distortion. It takes a fine touch to get it adjusted as the effects can get over the top for what I do, but it's a small,...

Hello, This is my current set up. I downsized and it's short and sweet. Coming from the guitar first is a electro-harmonix Tone Corset, into a Electro-Harmonix Ripped Speaker, into a Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, to a Donner Blues driver, to a DigiTech Crossroads, And lastly into a Electro-Harmonix Silencer. Powered by a Freidman power supply. The DigiTech chorus only has one usable channel in my opinion. Haven't found one I like for a replacement yet. Thank you Steve B

As you can see I tied everything down to eliminate the spaghetti underneath. It’s a little sloppy look because I don’t have custom length power chords. 2 packs of tie downs were very inexpensive. Even sloppy takes some thought to do but looks much cleaner. On top I have all the pedals running in correct order according to how they’re patched together not necessarily in there place order. I separated the chorus and reverb of the Uni-Verb to put it before the fuzz. Unfortunately one cable is...

Thanks for the opportunity. Artist Name: ML Caldwell Company: 3rd Sol Conservatory Pedalboard: Cry Baby Wah > ProCo Rat Distortion/Fuzz/Overdrive > Joyo Vision Modulation > Joyo Aquarius Delay & Looper > Joyo Atmosphere Reverb > Yamaha Analog Mixer > Peavey KB-100 amp This pedalboard is for my Korg rk100s keytar. I like the Cry Baby wah in the front, always on, because it bleeds really well into the ProCo Rat Distortion pedal (which I typically keep on fuzz). Then, using the Joyo Vision mod...

Hello, Here is my pedal board and a brief description. I start with an Eric Johnson Strat. First is my TC polytune tuner, then to my Morley Power Way that I mostly use as a column control. From there I hit my Wampler compressor (sometimes on and sometimes off) and then my Ibanez Tube Screamer. The screamer is a nice distortion but doesn’t have a ton of overdrive. Next I go to the Mad Professor BlueBird with delay. It’s a great lead pedal and when combines with the Screamer I can get some...

Daniel Robinson singer-songwriter-bassist for the band Smart Barker Hi Rattlesnake. You know I'm a big fan of your products, so I'm very happy to submit to you my pedal arrangement. This is a shot of my pedalboard from a gig (with SoCal cover band 80s Nation) this past Friday, 6 June 2025, at Mr. Peabody's in Encinitas, CA. Other bass guitarists may find this interesting. Of course, it's always a work in progress. Here, I have been experimenting with not using an amp simulator, such as SansAmp...

Rattlesnake, I hope you all are doing well. Here's my current setup. Front of amp: Guitar -- Crybaby Wah Wah out -- Key in of Lichtlaerm key & gate Key out -- Snark tuner Snark -- TC dark matter Dark matter -- 1987 Fx Loop: Send -- gate in of Lichtlaerm key & gate Gate out -- TC corona chorus Chorus -- Analog delay Delay -- TC Hall of Fame reverb Reverb -- Return The delay pedal is just a cheap place holder until I can get a Boss DD8. Eventually the Snark tuner will get replaced by a TC...

I maintain two boards for different places where I like to place in my home. I abandoned the conventional boards recently and sold all that gear (several pedals and a Mesa Amp) and went with a Fender Tone Master Pro But I still like a board to organize On both boards I use a large Gator Board (30x16) with the Gator gbus 8 power supply mounted on the underside I have ( left to right)- the Fender Tone Master Pro- the expression pedal from Mission Engineering ( SP1 TMP)- I then either a KLIQ tiny...

This is my new 2025 guitar rig amp and board. Mesa Lonestar Classic 1x12 combo I am channel switching presets on the G3S Ch-1 Clean, Ch-2 dirt, Solo boost, with the capability of switching the amps reverb on/off too. My board is currently; Temple Audio Trio 28 pedalboard. The GIGRIG G3S 12 loop switcher Line 6 G70 Wireless Jackson audio Bloom Compressor (2) Keeley MK3 Drives Jackson Audio FUZZ Rocktron mini Hush (will be replacing with the ISP mini Decimator for noise reduction) Loop 6 on the...

I am a huge pedal nerd. After years of buying, selling, and trading, I have finally settled on the effects that are here to stay for the long haul. I'm from the school of thought that pedals should augment and enhance the amps through which they are played, and as such, I design my gigging pedalboards around the amps that they'll be mainly utilized with. I have one board that's designed for lower-wattage amps that does most of the heavy lifting for my base tone, and another—the one pictured...

Hello Here is my set up This sits in front of either my JTM45 or Jack Daniels. Classic 30 (Peavey) These pedals have been selected to allow me to utilize either amps ample gain structures and just happen to stack nicely when so desired. I have separated the pedals in order to have the front end and fx loop separated Order of pedals: Dominion Fuzz MXR Timmy Xotic EP Booster Visual Sound buffer Voodoo Labs Micro Vibe TC Electronic Polytune To the front end. (not seen is a George Dennis Wah which...

My pedalboard is really simple and small, and will likely see some swapping of pedals in the future, but this is how I've got it set up for now, specifically based on running this into my Mesa/Boogie California Tweed 6V6 4:40 1x12 Combo. Here is my signal chain set up for my pedal board: Everything starts at my Shure GLXD6 wireless system connected to Ch. 4 of my Rattlesnake Junction Box. I route it this way, instead of just starting with the wireless system straight into pedals becuase I want...

I'm a bass player who loves pedals! Inspired by the pedal work of Bootsy Collins, Larry Graham, Doug Wimbish, Guy Pratt and Juan Alderete. That's a green 10 ft. Rattlesnake cable going into the input. Rattlesnake jumper and patch cables link up a Line 6 DL4 MkII (more for home practice. I don't get to loop much in my band). Most of my patch cables are Rattlesnake Pancake Flex Patch Cables with few EBS Premium Gold Flat Patch Cables. Two MXR M237 DC Brick power supplies underneath are powering...

Board boredom, been building some small boards to keep entertained while it’s cold out. Board 1 Rattlesnake routing the whole thing, input 1 goes to the tuner then keeley octa psi, this thing is awesome the pitch shifting is stellar then to the waza sd1 my favorite boost no matter what I til myself. Then to the Keeley el ray dorado, this is my favorite Marshall box into the decimator to kill the noise back to the junction box. Loop 2 goes to the Keeley dynmyroto for chorus or flange to the...

This is my current setup for a variety/cover act that's been running for almost 15yrs. As the only guitar player in a 4pc group, being able to cop keyboard/horn parts is an important part of the show. Signal chain is: Main board: Radial ABY- A) line-> DOD Filter- MXR Phase 95- JHS Crayon- Keeley Phat Mod- JHS Morning Glory- Friedman Buxom Boost- Boss DM 101-> front of Friedman Dirty Shirley. JHS Emperor Chorus- MXR/CAE Boost- Keeley Halo- Keeley Hydra in the effects loop of Friedman Dirty...

Hello! Here is my board. I recently transitioned from using a Pod Go, as I was trying out modeling to downsize my setup. My half stack was a pain to carry around, and I wanted something more portable but still capable of getting loud when necessary. However, I quickly became frustrated with modelers and decided to return to traditional pedals. My board has gone through several changes, but this is what it looks like today. Front of Amp PolyTune3 Noir: A great compact tuner. I chose the Noir...

Hey all! I'm John M. I've been playing for over 40 years, primarily in the Jazz genre. But of course, session work just happens. Right? I keep a couple of pedalboard amplifiers now. In my opinion, the pedals and hardware have matured to the point where this just makes sense when it comes to grab-n-go, especially when session work demands tend to vary from ambient to rock to bebop and everything in between. If you haven't yet noticed, and maybe because I have a deep history with Boss, my pedals...

This my primary pedalboard I use to gig with. The band I perform with is called Tonsure. We have an ig @tonsure.band. Anyways back to the board! To start with I will begin this journey with the pedals I use directly into the front of my amp. It begins with the alter by farm pedals. It's a overdrive/fuzz pedal. I use it as an always on color pedal to add some grit to my tone. The next pedal is by rco and is called the skeptical pedal. It is a clone of the 29 euna input buffer pedal. So naturally...

Although I've been playing for a long time, I only started experimenting with pedals five years ago. At this point, I mostly play at home, switching among acoustics and electrics based on what I feel like playing, and occasionally jam with others or do a coffeehouse type thing. I play an eclectic mix of blues (acoustic and electric), rock, folk, singer-songwriter stuff, depending on mood or with whom I am playing. Five years later, here are the two boards I use, one for electric and one for...

Hey, I'm Reva K. I'm a Fender-featured pop/rock artist and a proud Rattlesnake user. My sound has been described as "Summer 1995 updated for 2025" (SPIN), with "influences from Stevie Nicks" (Billboard Brazil). All the pedals on this board—minus the PG-14 and the Carbon V2—were used to craft the guitar tones for my latest releases, "Drive" and "Can't Stop." I use a Rattlesnake Coily Cable or a Standard Rattlesnake Cable to plug into my board. The pedals are connected with Rattlesnake Patch...

I've got 2 pedalboards that I finished putting together over the holiday break. The larger board is my main one with lots of gain stages (some set for my Strat and others set for my Gibsons). The missing slot will be filled with an Azor Tremolo that will be here soon. And the smaller board is only for use when recording songs created with the Trio+. The guitar effects are in the loop of the Trio+ and are used when putting down rhythm guitar parts with the Trio's bass/drum track. Once the backing...

Hey this is JJ and this is my EBG board. The signal chain is EBG>OBNE Signal Blender Red Channel= Broughton Audio Subsonic (OC-2 clone with massive headroom)>BA Calamity (civil war era Big Muff clone with improvements to play nice with active electronics)>Iron Ether Xerograph Deluxe filter—the Blue Channel=Panda Audio Future Impact synth>Way Huge Pork and Pickle—the Green Channel is clean blend all channels are summed and sent to the HX Stomp which I use for EQ, and time based effects. The...

My doom board. Used predominantly with a Reverend Descent Baritone through a Bogner Goldfinger 54. In order: EAE Halberd-As an (almost) always on preamp. Useful buffer, too. Basic Audio Foxton (improved upon Foxx Tone Machine)-I actually predominantly use the standard fuzz side as a buffer actually improves it, and the Halberd makes it chug. Ernie Ball VP Jr (Sonic Research tuner plugged into tuner output) Jetter ODS-181-perhaps the oddball here, but it's arguably the clearest and tightest of...

Hello, here is a picture of me (Dr. Dave Harms) lead guitarist/ singer/ songwriter of Tinfoil (trademarked). First I have Game Changer Audio's Bigsby Pedal to get vibrato on my Kiesel and get that Gretsch vibrato on some of our slow songs, 2nd I have the Maverick wha which is small and switchless (I prefer my George Lynch but it is too big for this small club board), next I have the Klon clone from Sweetwater held in the archer case, next it goes through Caitlenbreeds Sabbra Caddabra (my other...

Hi! This is a cool thing. Ok, So the pedal board is simple. I use a Line 6 G30 as my wireless guitar cable. To the Boss TU2, to my Xotic Xw1. Then to the Switch Dr. Switcher. The pedals across the top are a Delay, this was made by Joe Parker Guitars. Seafoam Chorus, made by Keeley and the TC Electronics Hall of Fame Reverb. The delay pedal is one of the best sounding delays, it's the one pedal that has been on my board for about 2 years straight. I usually change out the pedals frequently. The...

This has been my studio and gigging rig for the last four or five years. Almost exclusively Rattlesnake cabling from guitar to amps (thanks for never having an issue!). Powered by a Strymon Zuma Power Supply. Input to output: Two inputs (I play lap steel and guitar on stage) Passive A/B Switch by Saturnworks Pedals MXR Noisegate — never know what you are plugging into on a gig Mooer Pure Boost — in case I need a stronger signal before the compressor (rarely used) Carl Martin Compressor —...

I'm part of a two-guitar cover band that mainly focuses on 90s and 2000s rock. We both play rhythm although I play a little more lead because the other guitarist is the singer. My main guitar is a Knaggs Kenai-J with 2 P90s. I'm playing through an old Traynor YBA-1 into a 4x10 closed back cab. I was playing through a 1x12 but switched to a 4x10 because it is less boxy and fills out the sound without having to get louder. My approach to the board is pretty straightforward. I don't use a bunch of...

Here's my none more black pedalboard. I've got a one spot cs-12 underneath powering everything. Top row is in the effects loop. Everything on this board is made by the excellent Blackhawk Amplifiers out of Portland Oregon, with the exception of the tuner and the two Walrus Audio. From left to right they are, Blackhawk Amplifiers Black Gate of Mordor, using the four cable method to silence the loop and the front end. Next is the Azoth baxandall boost and EQ. Then the Walrus Audio Lore and Fable,...

Hi Hank and team Rattlesnake! My names Loren and here's my bass pedalboard for a new band I front called Dog-Eared. We're a Fuzzy Post-Punk band based out of Bozeman, MT. We're currently working on an EP that will surface early 2025, we're @dogeared406 on instagram. Here's the board currently, I tend to change my chain around quite a bit. I'm always trying new (to me) stuff, mostly vintage and used pedals, Reverb.com is frequented. First is one of my 2 Boss TU-2 tuners I've had forever, from...

Here is my setup for my pedalboard. I am a working bass player who plays and tours with Tupelo Honey A Van Morrison Celebration as well as an original project named Piel (music coming in spring of next year). As well as session work. My board is a simple set up I come out from my bass into the Dunlop Justin Chancellor Wah. I have it set for UK filter because it has a more dramatic sweep. I also have it set so the fuzz is on only when the wah treadle is being moved. It gives it a drastic and...

I think it is important to support small businesses, especially those within the U.S. AMPS: Suhr Hombre (Brownface Style) or Winfield Cyclone (Vox Style) BOARD: West Coast Pedal Board - Icon Series (Tobacco Burst) INTERCONNECTS: Rattlesnake Flex Patch 10" Pretty simple setup, all the pedals are in front of my amp(s). I primarily play Gretsch and Guild semi and full hollow-body guitars, and I have found that the pedals made by The Nocturne Brain in San Diego suit my equipment and playing styles...

I am by no means much of a musician, touring or otherwise, but I do have an ear for good audio and an engineering background. My pedal path had me trying everything from budget to mid-priced gear with no loyalty to any particular brand. At one point I thought Boss was going to be my savior; quickly I found out this not to be the case. I also put a lot in the Effects Loop, first on my Quilter Cub US then my Friedman Runt 20 Combo. Didn't pay much attention to cables either. Well, all of this...

I have become a pedal junky and have 4 boards built right now. We have been traveling a lot recently to deal with aging family so I built this board to take along. I was playing in an 80s hair band in the 80s then grunge happened and I took 30 years off to raise a family. We moved to Texas a few years ago and found the music scene to be alive and well so I dusted off the gear and started picking up new additions. I decided to submit this board first as it is my first to be converted over to all...

I'm a harp player that started teaching myself guitar a few yrs. ago. I found one in a case by a dumpster. Now I have 3, a late '60's Teisco Encore, (dumpster find), a '20 Gretsch 2622T Streamliner, & a '24 Royall 12 string Tricone Resonator.. The routing is: BOSS TU-3> BOSS PW-3> Li'l RAT> BOSS OD-3> BOSS FDR-1 > Walrus Slotva > Walrus Monument > Donner Yellow Fall > MXR Carbon Copy Mini > Keeley DynoMyRoto > Keeley Comp Mini > MXR 10 band EQ > Lehle P-Split Stereo > BASSBREAKER 45 x 2 /...

Hi Hank, I've been on your list for a while love what you're doing up there in MT, really enjoyed your piece on Steve Albini (rip). Im a Wyo/CO native, hobbyist/diyer. Anyway finally thought I'd share my boards (sorry no cables to showcase). First one is my home guitar noodle board...I play bass in my band. As a tube amp home brewer I like the idea of 'channel' options but prefer simplicity of a single channel build, so the obne signal blender is a winner for live playing having up to 3 base...

Hey Rattlesnake! My name is Damian W. I'm an alternative rock musician from Maryland, USA. I'm following your page on Facebook and wanted to submit my pedalboard setup to you guys for pedal line Friday! Write up: Hey there people! This is my current (fairly simplistic) pedalboard setup. I run it through a Mesa Boogie Stiletto Ace and an EVH Iconic Series 1x10 5150 in stereo. Here's my signal chain: 1. Korg DT-10 Tuner: Pretty old, I think from the 80s or 90s - incredibly accurate 2.

Hi Hank & all the Rattlers :) I call this my "main board" - it's the one I use for most gigs and for recording, at least when I need effects at that stage. I forget what size/model the board itself is, but it's made by Pedaltrain. I think it's one up from the Classic? but not 100% sure. Routing starts at the bottom right with a Saturnworks I/O buffer, followed by the BOSS TU-2 because no guitarist should ever be caught on stage without a tuner! I know the TU-2 is itself buffered, but I use the...

I am working on an instrumental ambient / atmospheric post-metal project called Sandstone. I am mainly a guitar player and also play bass and drums. Amp used is a Hughes & Kettner triumph MKII with a 4x12 Marshall 1960 Lead cabinet. The signal path from the volume pedal to board 1 which is my always on / utility board: Meris Hedra -> EQD Warden compressor -> EQD Dispatch Master set as reverb -> EQD Ghost Echo reverb -> EQD Sea Machine chorus -> EQD Swiss Things.

Hi there! My name is John Henry Johnson @johnhenrysmusic on social media and I am a professional guitarist in Austin, TX. This is a cool pedal board I like to use for my main acoustic Rig and utilizes the very cool Rattlesnake TRS Splitter. I use a special guitar with 4 pickups (a piezo, transducer under body for bass percussion, microphone for other body percussion, and a magnetic pickup) The piezo and microphone get blended at the guitar and go from a single mono Rattlesnake cable to the Red...

Mostly a bedroom player, did some church groups and garage stuff back in the day. I'm always looking for used pedals locally, but every once in awhile I'll splurge for something I really dig... this is one of two setups I use, this being the big guy. The small setup is the Boss tuner and the PG-14 straight into the 5150 Icon combo amp. Current setup is the Temple Audio Duo 24. I really dig the non Velcro setup. Power supply is a MXR M238 IsoBrick 10. Patch cables are Rattlesnake or EB's, long...

First and foremost, I am by no means a guitar player, but rather a singer who knows how to play guitar. I am blessed to front the band Low Speed Chase. We are a 90s tribute band and play everything from Alice In Chains to Matchbox 20. If it was a hit in the 90s, chances are we play it. My pedal chain is as follows: I use an EQD Swiss Things (pedal board reconciler) to control everything I use. (It's buffered, boosted, contains two loops, as well as dedicated volume and tuner inputs. I use a Korg...

Hello everyone. Here is my latest pedalboard setup. I love the sound of these pedals in front of my Vox AC30CC1. Thanks to Rattlesnake Cables for providing even more transients to my tone ! Here's my pedals and their flow. 1. TC Electronics Polytune2 tuner 2. Rodenberg Custom Amplification "Luke" Overdrive : this pedal was designed with Steve Lukather 3. Fulltone OCD Overdrive : great overdrive tone, sometimes used in tandem with the "Luke" Overdrive 4. Analog Man "Mini Chorus" : sweet smooth...

I am submitting this pedalboard entry on behalf of my son, Andrew Calvert. Andrew will turn 15 at the end of April and is currently a member of the band Salem, based in Preston County, West Virginia. They perform both covers and originals. He began playing guitar at age 9, and started performing in front of audiences by the age of 10. Since then he has played in multiple bands, performed as a solo guitarist/vocalist, and has become a multi-instrumentalist (bass, piano). In Salem he plays guitar,...

Hello and so thankful for these articles and getting to learn about everybody's pedal boards and their thoughts behind them. Today, I am submitting this pedal board used for our group, Wing & The Flight Risk. The first thing anyone who is versed in music gear, and pedals, will notice is where most of the choices on this board are coming from. The guitar player and singer who formed this group, was first and foremost, an studio rat as not only a session guitarist, but also an audio engineer and...

Hey guys, love your cables and I love the pedalline Friday posts you do too! Here is my humble little board. I primarily use this running directly to FoH for a local church I play bass with. It is powered by a Cioks DC7 which gives great isolated power and can run quite a bit by itself. My routing on the board is straight forward being right to left in order. Peterson Mini Tuner>Jam Pedals Bass Rattler>Effectrode PC-2A Optical Compressor>Tone Hammer>Sushi Box Neptunium My chain starts with a...

Hey Guys! Love the site, love how you engage your audience, and once my car is fixed, I hope to love your cables. It never fails; as soon as I have spare cash to upgrade my rig, cars or kids take it away...haha I wanted to send in my board for pedal line friday, so, here we go It's fairly simple, but we subscribe to a simple soup. The board has gone through changes, and is easily modified if filling in for a cover band, but right now, it's set up for our band, which is sonically like Megadeth...

I've enjoyed your PLF posts and thought I'd throw in (because who among musicians doesn't like talking about their gear?). Here's the write up. I'm a performing bass player; fretted, fretless, acoustic, 4-, 5-, & 6-string plus guitar; electric, acoustic 6 & 12, and assorted other strings e.g. mandos, etc. I built this board with the intention of accommodating all these instruments on a single platform I can just throw down, plug-in, and play w/o fuss. Not to mention that I sure don't have the...

I live in the suburbs west of Chicago, and play in three iterations: a five-piece cover band (Instagram @modern_inconvenience), a three-piece cover band (Instagram @minor_setback_band), and as a solo acoustic/electric performer (Instagram @cheesygorditahunch). Primarily a vocalist who really just two years ago unlocked the brain cheat code for singing and playing at the same time, my guitar+amp+pedals setup is carefully curated to an ear that's rarely satisfied, but I've been on what you see...

Since you asked for pedalboards, here's one currently I'm using for a stage production of The Rocky Horror Show at the Straz Center For The Performing Arts in Tampa, Florida mounted by Jobsite Theater, the resident theater company at the Straz. The show is presented in the 320-capacity Jaeb Theater and runs through August 4. http://jobsitetheater.org/rocky-horror/ My main guitar for the show is a homebrew Tele build (NoMoonLaser pine body, Warmoth neck) with SD Seth Lover neck/Barden bridge...

Hey guys! Loving the idea for this series! I'm a Montana native living in South Florida, rarely get to play anymore but build rigs on the side. Instagram handle is @schockcasey Here's my current rig. Starts with a Jazzmaster Baritone Partscaster, 28.5" scale tuned to C# standard plugged into a Rattlesnake cable that I de-sleeved 8 years ago when I tried to run a headphone extension through the same sleeving and ruined it. Still my favorite cable though! Board is a Boss BCB-1000, pretty heavily...

I have tons of pedals and boards, but these are the latest that I'm gigging. Board one: This is my main board, I have the Shure GLXD16+ Digital Wireless Guitar Pedal System going into my Zoom MS-60B with a bunch of my own programmed sounds (mainly synth things, chorus, different distortions), then to the Origin Effects Cali76 Bass Compressor, and finally out of the Noble dual vacuum tube Preamp that every soundman knows and loves and comments on.

My amp is a 12 watt Deluxe Amplification Ryman. My guitars are a G&L Fullerton Deluxe Skyhawk and a USA G&L Bluesboy. The board is a Friedman 1529. Very sturdy board. The board comes with a ramp war the wah pedal which is a standard Dunlop Crybaby. Next there’s a Wampler mini-ego compression pedal underneath the board for space since it’s always on. From there into the Boss TU-3 tuner then into a Beetronics Custom Shop Royal Jelly, a medium fuzz pedal I’d call it. The white pedal is a...

Hi Pedalboard viewers! My name is John Naas, and I currently play bass guitar for "Agents of Rock", a 4 piece classic rock cover band based in the Spokane WA / Coeur d'Alene ID area. While the majority of our set is classic rock, we throw in some alternate, pop, and some country. Here is my current Pedalboard layout, in signal path order: Polytune3 tuner - my favorite tuner ever, easy to read even with my glasses off, and has some cool features, and the strobe mode is very handy when setting up...

HurriCrane here showing off my small pedal board for both guitar and bass using my 3 new Rattlesnake Cables! These cables are top notch and a pleasure to use. They have phenomenal build quality, high quality components and a "work great, look great, feel great” vibe. It's a joy every time I open up a new package and love that each cable comes in its own printed carry bag. I learned music on the piano at a young age and switched to guitar in the 6th grade. Formed and played in a couple of punk...

I have been building out this pedalboard for about five years now, I use it for both guitar and bass. When I perform as Three Reefs Deep I play guitar, using the Solo XT to store and play back my basslines and samples, and the sDrum to keep the loopers (and me) synchronized. With this setup I am able to output either 1 summed signal with guitar, bass, samples, and drums, or I can provide 4 individual outputs for the FOH to mix. I also use this board for all of my songwriting and stereo...

Hello! I am constantly tinkering with different pedal setups, but for this mini board I’ve settled on a Hendrix-inspired setup. I find it forces me to think more about my playing and engaging with my guitar’s controls rather than focusing on what pedals I need to have on or oft at any given time. My signal chain is: MXR Octavio (previously an Earthquaker Devices Tentacle) -> Dunlop Band of Gypsys FuzzFace -> Dunlop Mini-Wah -> MXR Uni-Vibe -> Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master -> Dunlop...

My name is Jeff Lindquist. I live in Richmond, VA and have been playing music for 40 years as a guitarist and composer/music director. My current pedalboard, aka, "The Monster," allows be to cover all my needs in two bands that I currently play in. The signal chain from the guitar first goes into the 3 Leaf Audio Proton envelope filter. I like the vocal sounds I can get from it, especially when soloing. From there it goes into the One Control Crocodile Tail Loop OC10. This has eliminated the...

Here is a pic of my newest iteration of my Pedalboard is 100% Rattlesnake patch cables, as well as all guitar cables. I just got the D'Addario EXP1 Board because I much prefer a single line board as opposed to 2 layers. From the Amp to the Pedalboard 1) Wampler Tape Echo V2 - This is a great delay pedal. Had the original V1 but the modulation is even better on this pedal. It can do slapback to spacey echo sounds. 2) Wampler Ethereal - This is primarily for when I use an amp without...

Hey, Rattlesnake world! This is my main board. It has gone through many changes over time but this is my current setup and I love it! This is the first time I've been really happy with the overall tones I'm getting and the routing I'm using. The chain is: Behringer Tuner, Behringer Compressor, Strymon Timeline, TC Electronic Mojo Mojo (for tweedy type of breakup), Boss Blues Driver (usually for a British kind of breakup and also a little compression), Line 6 HX One, Keeley Caverns (for more...

My Pedal Board begins with a custom Pedalpad AXIS III and Powered by a CIOKS DC 7 and 2 CIOKS 8's. I have a main signal path as well as an effects loop path. The effects loop in and out is on the left side of the board along with my main out. On the right side of the board, I have a mic in/out along with an optional main in. Main Signal Path: 1. Vivlex Line Selector. If I choose to utilize on-board wireless, "A" is elected. If I choose to use a cable from my guitar the "B" channel is selected...

My current 2024 Pedal board build: 1. CIOKS DC7 Pedal Power Supply – I chose this and the CIOKS 8 because it has isolated lines and because of its slim design it works very well under the board 2. CIOKS 8 Power Supply – great extension to the CIOKS DC7. 3. TC Electronic's PolyTune 3 Mini – one of the most reliable buffers and tuners on the market, even better that it is small and compact saving board real estate 4. Empress Effects ParaEq MkII Equalizer and Boost Pedal – I use this to...

Hi! I'm back with my "Portable Rig" board and will explain why it's that... Under the Pedaltrain board powering all the pedals is a Truetone 1Spot Pro. Guitar signal goes into the top of the Ernie Ball "Super Bee" VPJr combo volume/tuner pedal. When the pedal is rocked back to cut the volume completely, it turns into a tuner with a large, bright, easy-to-read-on-a-dark-stage display. Next up is the Supro Boost, going against all conventions that say to put your boost after your drive pedals....

This board is used for most of my writing and practicing. It is in my living room - it currently has both of those Chase Bliss loss pedals in it because I am using it in a project with minimal, lo-fi guitar stuff. Those results are starting to appear at @xandidusty on instagram and may also appear on youtube. there is a "basement" board that is for cinematic (literally playing with film) improv and space rock freakouts. This is pretty basic - that is a one off Seeker Ritualist- fuzz face into...

Style: I play all fingerstyle acoustic on Cape Cod (Massachusetts). I mix in my own instrumentals with older Piedmont-style blues and fingerstyle arrangements of more well-known songs from the past 50 years. I also include a lot of Celtic music and a bit of country. Over the past 50 years, I've gone through too many preamp/pedal combinations to count. This is my most recent setup which seems to get me the right combination of decent acoustic sound that can still be heard in a noisy pub. Guitars:...

Here's my board. I play Alt-Country/Repacments-esque Rock N' Roll. I've become a big fan of the Catalinbread Foundation series pedals. These allow me to have Tweed Fender tones and the SFT gives me Ampeg V4 tones. I used a V4 half stack as a young man in the 1990's! The Earth Driver gives me Klon like tones. Belle Epoch is a recent addition that I'm really liking. Sparks is a great boost. It has the secret sauce! JHS Harmonic Tremolo is a great pedal especially at $100 or less. Boss DD3 is my...

Here's my board for bass! It's been through a bit of an evolution over the years. It started solely with the Line 6 HX Stomp but I was never thrilled with the simulated preamps and cabs, especially though our bands' PAs. I am in two 90s cover bands that go ampless with in-ears and electronic drums. It gives us lots of control and the ability to bring down the volume for smaller venues. I know most people fall in love with amp/cab sims but I couldn't get the sound I wanted, the sound would always...

I have various Teles, Strats and many different "Weird" guitars using a Rattlesnake Snake Weave into an A/B from Rattlesnake Cables, direct into a Budda Wah, which then is run into a Klon klone ?( I picked it up second hand, no real info on it, it might be real?) then into a Vertex Steel String, a Janglebox Compressor, a Mojohand Iron Bell Fuzz, an MXR '78 Distortion Pedal, then into a Boss TU-3 tuner. I go from there into a Visual Sound/True Tone H2O pedal- which combines a thick Chorus and...

I will start with a rundown of my equipment, this is to set a foundation for my opinions on the pedals on my board. I feel it is always a gamble when you watch a review on pedals and the presenter is using modified pickups, or a certain style of amp, in my opinion this has a big tonal difference from what I play with. That aside here we go. My guitars : Epiphone Les Paul Plus Top, this is my main guitar I play it 80% of the time,No mods, works great with classic rock and harder rock music....

Hi, I'm Michael! I'm primarily a songwriter and an occasional singer/musician, originally from Baltimore, MD, now a long time resident of Boston, MA! There was a time, not that long ago, I never even used a pedal, or ever wanted to! I'm a clean, retro, brit-pop, kind of guy! I'm strictly rhythm, I don't want to make you cry or sing! I let the guitar do the jangle and really didn't need more than the reverb and possibly tremolo option built into my amp (Fender Twin Reverb or VOX AC15) Which I...

I like to keep my pedal board pretty simple. I play mostly country, rockabilly and some surf instrumental stuff, and love the sound of clean! Honestly, I could probably be just fine going straight into my amp (Fender Twin Reverb Custom 15) with my Fender Telecaster B-Bender. But, I do use a few pedals, most pretty intermittently. My signal chain is as follows: Boss Chromatic Tuner->Keely Katana Clean Boost->Ibanez Tube Screamer->custom tremolo (built by Hank at Rattlesnake Cable Company)->MXR...

Here's my dirty pedalboard. It runs into a 1974 Pro Reverb, a 1966 Bandmaster, a 1983 JCM800, or a 1969 Bassman depending on mood. All amps were bought broken or in need of service and restored by me. I have a 1962 blonde Tremolux on my workbench fight now, and have a Monotone JTM45 kit that was butchered and in need of rebuilding. It never ends around here, the tinkering. Signal chain: Mu-Tron IV envelope filter. I allow myself one silly effect pedal that doesn't fit in at all with the type of...

Hey rattlesnake team! I wanted to share my pedalboard with you since it's finally completed! Using my sweet new Coily cable I plug my bass into my Temple Audio duo 24 board and input patchbay. Then it goes to the Petersen tuner, which goes to my Bass Whammy. I'm using the whammy mainly to pitch up one or two octaves sometimes. Next is the Way Huge pork and pickle overdrive fuzz, which is usually kept on fuzz pretty high gain. Then it's into the mini bass wah pedal which gives the fuzz a really...

I love your pedal board series. Had a little break tonight and thought I'd send you mine. My band is actually releasing an EP on February 9th. Signal Flow: Boss TU-2 -> Mosky Loop Box send -> Fulltone Soul-Bender -> Native Audio Midnight Phaser -> EQD Avalanche Run -> Mosky Loop Box return -> EHX 720 Looper -> BYOC Divided Octave (pictured though its replaced by Fuzzlord FU-2, decisions are hard) -> Greedtone Fuzz -> Mosky Loop Box send2 -> EHX Memory Boy -> OBNE Dark Star -> MoskyLoop Box...

Alright, here it is. It's a working bands board. I'll start with the music. The Fast 86'ers are a band from Phoenix, Az. What's the music you ask? We call it Southwestern Boogie. Think of good old boogie rock and add some rockabilly, some twangy honky tonk, and even a bit of punk rock. Some say cowpunk was born in Az. We plan on keeping it alive... The board - it's powered by a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2. The fancy number system makes it easier to find the "bad" pedal when it happens (and it...

My pedal collection started many years ago when I visited the late Pro Guitar Store in Portland, OR. As my collection grew and evolved, stringing it together proved increasingly challenging as I was chasing down noise in the signal chain, so my friend Pete D. with Customer District Pedalboards helped me build out a board using a Truetone CS12 1 Spot Pro Power Supply that went under the riser deck, which cleaned up many of my noise issues. My signal chain starts with an outboard Ernie Ball volume...

Signal flow is Mad Professor Little Green Wonder > Mad Professor Mighty Red > Bogner Harlow > EH Attack delay into the Quilter SuperblockUK Loop out to MXR Analog Chorus > Keeley Halo > (Digitech DL-8) > Mathews Astronomer > Boss DD-20- loop in On a Holyboard. Easy changes NO Velcro. I converted a 12" floor monitor to use as a Speaker for me on stage. The Superblock has enough power for me to hear myself and the DI goes to house and monitors. So all I need is A Guitar, This board, the 12"...

Armed with one of his various guitars, Forest crafts a unique combination of fingerstyle, tapping and percussive playing that is all his own. Drawing from various influences like Michael Hedges, Scale The Summit, Led Zeppelin, Chon, and Covet, each song is a musical journey that further shows what two hands and a guitar can accomplish. He underscores these sonic adventures with a stage presence that exudes every ounce of passion he has for his craft. Be sure to check his debut acoustic...

This is my dual amp stereo FX chain. It's on a coffee table cut short to 8" and spray-painted black. Used for recording in my home studio. I use the same chain for bass, as well, but I swap out the flanger and chorus for DOD bass versions (FX72, FX62). There are a couple rack units in the chain, too, and several switches and splitters for complex stereo routing to 2 amps. I'm attaching a pic showing the signal flow and a pic with each device numbered. There are 30 devices in the chain, besides...

This Temple Audio Trio 28 board holds my whole guitar rig. The Guitar Butler by Orange is my pre-amp, and the Seymour Duncan Powerstage 200 is the power amp. The PS 200 drives the 2x12 Peavey cabinet (Celestion Vintage 30 and G12T-75), and it also has an xlr out that can go straight to the house PA and monitor sends. I can play live with or without the cabinet, depending on the venue. The Guitar Butler has a buffered effects loop, so all the time based effects go through the loop, and everything...

Hello, I am a weirdo one man band called It&i, and here is my write up of what's on my board: 1.) Digitech Ricochet - This guy is the first in the chain. I use it to do typical Whammy pitch bends, and high octave doodly-bobs on loops, but also to turn my guitar in a six string bass for certain songs; mainly when working with the PLL pedals...more to come on that! 2.) Boss SY-1 - This compact synth pedal does a whole bunch of stuff I sometimes fiddle around with, but, mostly I just use it for a...

Attached is a photo of my current pedal board for Bronson Arm. We are a 2pc Baritone GTR and Drums Noise/Punk band from middle America and are currently working with Learning Curve Records. Full disclosure - I own and operate Emerald Circuits. So, yes... I have ALOT of my pedals on my pedal board. If I want a sound and can't buy it... I'll build it. I use a split stereo rig for my baritone guitars. Wiring up my guitars for a stereo output and utilizing your TRS cables with the bridge pickup on...

My name is Mike and I play guitar! Playing for over 25 years, my passion for music has shifted. From being in a punk rock band in high school, releasing music I made in my basement during the first months of Covid/quarantine, and now sharing my love of guitar and music with my 2 1/2 old daughter, Joni (partly named after Joni Mitchell). Here's my list of pedals (in chain order), why I play them and as a bonus- I'll tell you the nicknames my daughter has for each. 1. Boss SY1- if we're being...

So, I have a problem. Well, maybe it's not a "problem", I just feel a little guilty. I have dozens and dozens of pedals. I probably could build around 10 full pedalboards with all my pedals. So, this is just a current "home/practice" rig. We start with an Acorn Amplifiers Solid State Preamplifier- it's the variation of Acorn's "Peavey Decade in a box" that doesn't have a power amp. I'm using it mostly as a kind of clean boost, that can also do chainsaw distortion. From there we go to the "heart"...

We want a list of pedals (manufacturer/model), routing would be great, and, most importantly, why you use those particular pedals. Always a work in progress, here's a recent configuration. - Korg PitchBlack. Put the tuner with the cleanest signal. Also, great for a kill switch! Next, the dirt: - Catalinbread Naga Viper - Catalinbread Karma Suture (Ge) I really like the sound of the Naga Treble Booster hitting the Karma Suture. Pleasant, dirty, but different. - JHS Pack Rat When natural sounding...

Just to give a bit of background, I use this rig board for guitar, bass and keys. I'll list everything in the order that it's in, in my chain and then give a brief description. 1. Jam Pedals Retrovibe - The newest pedal on the board but it's been a long time coming. I searched high and low for the "perfect" Univibe. After months of research, I decided to try out Jam Pedals. I was recently able to pick up this used Retrovibe for a smokin deal on Reverb. It perfectly replicates all that swirly...

Conan Neutron pedal board fall 2023 1) Boss TU-3 Chromatic Tuner A classic. Weirdly! The newest pedal of the lot of them, I bought a new one on tour at Trading Musician in Seattle. My last one (Tu-2) lasted for 20+ years, a great run. I fully expect the TU-3 will be similar. What can I say? It tunes the guitar. Very important when you use a non-standard tuning (drop-C) 2) Hilbish Compressimiser Yes! A compressor pedal. My joke is that you get one of these handed to you the day you turn 40. I'm a...

You and your Team at RCC Rock!!

David Paranzino (The Boneshakers) Pedal Board Signal path as follows: 1 - Peterson Strobostomp pedal tuner : Best most accurate company in the market 2 – Janglebox Compression/Sustain : Compression is my favorite effect. Period 3 – Interstellar Octonaut Hyperdrive : Jury is still out on this one, but it's showing promise 4 – Mooer Synth Pedal : Kinda fun throwing in some unusual analog effects 5 – Electro Harmonix Mel9 : Newest addition, but already a favorite. If you were ever a...

Randall Brown (Quartjar) Pedal Board, October 2023 Let's look at this from input to output, or right-to-left as the photo goes. I've activated every pedal for dramatic effect. Guitar was not attached—as evidenced by the unplugged Rattlesnake cable in front the whole rig—to avoid accidental cosmic sonic overload. My dual-amp chain is Electro-Harmonix heavy, as I'm a big fan. Recently, I've been trying out some odd Catalinbread pedals and a curious Way Huge machine. I used the two lines/two...
