Pedal Line Friday :: Casey M.

Here is a shot of my pedal board, in order of signal flow.

4. Emerson EM-Drive Origin Edition

5. ProCo Rat

6. Old Blood Noise EQ & Buffer (goes to amp via Rattlesnake 3 cable loom)

In my FX loop (top row)

1. BOSS DD-8

2. Chase Bliss MOOD (blackout edition)

3. JHS Flight Delay

4. Strymon Big Sky (midnight edition)

5. Normal Devices Decay Cascade

My band The Haunting’s live sound sonically relies on painting a beautiful picture in a wall of noise. We also have a no compromising adherence to a black and white aesthetic, which transcends media, and has corrupted the way in which I’ve constructed my pedalboard.

I use these pedals in particular because it colors my sound just prior to it getting to my JCM800, in a way that doesn’t suck out any of my tone. I rely on the natural distortion the amp gives me, and after trying just about every distortion on the market (that comes in a black or white enclosure) these pedals in particular help me maintain clarity while also packing a punch. At one point i was stacking 3 different Em-Drives (all in either the all black or white colorway) but have since moved away from that, as my vintage Rat has somehow made its way back onto my board (maybe even just for novelty). The pedals in the FX loop help balance analog feel with digital effects!

Grateful everyday for my Rattlesnake Loom, this thing has saved my life on so many occasions, and is an integral part of what makes my live tone so special.

Submit Your Pedal Line!

About a million years ago, I used to run a blog called EffectsBay. On that blog, the most popular feature I would run was Pedal Line Friday. This is where readers of the site would send pics of their pedalboard and a short (sometimes long) write-up of routing and thoughts about specific pedals and the reasoning why they liked it, etc. Readers. loved this. It was a great way to learn about new applications or techniques regarding pedals. It also brought a little inspiration and knowledge about pedals you were not familiar with. It also brought a great sense of community - people like sharing and absorbing cool things, right? It was a super popular feature, and I loved putting them together.

All you have to do is send a pic of your pedalboard (or pedal line - it doesn't have to be on a board) along with a short (or long) write-up of the board. We want a list of pedals (manufacturer/model), routing would be great, and, most importantly, why you use those particular pedals. Also, this is a great way to promote your band or musical project - include that information as well!

You can send the pic and the write-up to pedalline@rattlesnakecables.com.

Small companies need to follow this example, Rattlesnake has the best customer service in the game. Their products look great and are built to last. I especially love their vintage-inspired coily cables.

I have made multiple purchases with Hank at rattlesnake cables, I have bought several guitar cables, I bought pedal board patch cables, I bought test boxes and every one of them was absolutely perfect. I've even bought stuff from companies that Hank has recommended. In the process I've referred several friends who have also purchased. Let me start by saying his customer service is stellar you won't find anything better in the industry...PERIOD!! I have had not one failure or problem with anything that I've purchased. Getting back to the one thing that separates him from everybody else in the industry is his customer service. Not only does he keep you informed all the way through the process, not only does he personalize your purchase, he puts exceptional quality effort and Care into everything that is coming out of his shop. I can say nothing but good things about rattlesnake cables and I highly recommend that anyone who is even considering a purchase, pull the trigger!!!

As a contract musician who sometimes plays several different venues a week, continually unwrapping and wrapping cords can cause disfigurement over time, so I opted to go with a heavier duty cable. A reputable bass player on a popular bass forum recommended Rattlesnake Cables for their build quality and durability, so I decided to give them a look. First impressions are important and I loved their web store layout. A minimal amount of clicking brought me where I wanted to be and I was able to customize what I wanted. Checkout was a breeze. Easy peasy. The quick shipping kind of caught me off-guard, but was welcomed. When the box arrived a couple of days later, I opened it to discover my cables in a cool bag and a personal note and autographed paper pad as well. I wasted no time in putting my new 10' cable through the paces as I had a gig that evening and am happy to report the cable is solid as a rock and I can see why it comes with a lifetime guarantee. It's made for whatever kind of abuse you want to give it. I suspect it'll be much easier to lose it or have it stolen than it will be for it to quit working one day. Now I've owned good cables before, but I've never received the level of customer support as I did with this purchase. Not only did I get a personalized email from Hank asking how my purchase experience was, but the next morning when I come dragging in from my gig, there was a personalized video from him in my email inbox. To me, that in itself personifies what a great company would do to make sure they had a satisfied customer base. From this point forward, all my cables will be Rattlesnakes.
