Pedal Line Friday :: Heath S

Here's some pics of my Adam Jones of Tool inspired Pedalboard.  

Starting with a custom built board from William Knoche. I painstakingly searched and gathered all the vintage pedals for this board. 

The first thing I mounted was a Wiremold Legrand Rackmount 8 outlet power strip and then a Korg Tuner that's fed a signal from the first Boss PSM-5. 

Then from there second Boss PSM-5 it goes to an MXR Micro Amp and into a Goodrich LDR-2 Volume pedal that was the hardest pedal of all to find. From the volume pedal its chain is the Boss CE-2W chorus then the MXR Micro Flanger and over to the Boss RV-3 digital Delay/Reverb. After that it's over to the first Boss DD-3 Digital Delay then to the second DD-3 and onto the MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe which has a Dunlop mini-x expression pedal to switch between effects. Then back to the Boss BF-2 Flanger and to the DOD FX40-B Equalizer and then the Ernie Ball Expression Tremelo. Finally over to the Cry Baby 535 Wah pedal with Boost and over to the second Boss PSM-5 to complete the loop. It's then fed through a DOD FX69B Grunge pedal and to a DOD FX59 Thrash Master then to my Marshall VS-265 combo amp. 

Everything is powered by a Voodoo Lab Power Pedal Plus 3 and Pedal Power X8. 

I'm playing a Gibson Adam Jones Les Paul Standard in Silverburst through it all.  

Little back history the Marshall amp I had found by a dumpster on trash day about 24 years ago and all it needed was a tube replaced.  Then the Boss RV-3 was given to me by the brother of T-Bone Kelly of Slaughter after his passing in 1998.  The DOD Thrash Master was the first pedal I ever bought 31 years ago. 

I'm trying to figure out what's going to work for distortion with this setup and I've been thinking about adding the Diezel VH4-2 Overdrive and Pre-amp pedal to fill the void if need be. 

Thanks for looking,
Heath

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.
