Pedal Line Friday :: Aaron C.

This is the board I use with my band Morning Giants live and in the studio. It is in a state of flux with some of the gains but stays focused in the main base tone of Ethos Clean Fusion Deluxe.

Signal chain:

tuner > karma Odr clone > karma mostortion clone > ethos harmonic Bias tremolo > Ethos Clean a fusion deluxe > strymon Volante > Eventide H9 max > free the tone final boost > Louis Electric Buster (higher powered tweed deluxe variant)

I use the two karma pedals to boost the Ethos Clean Fusion deluxe for solos and accentuate special parts. The Ethos Clean Fusion Deluxe (CFD) does Dumble and BF Fender Tones. It has various boost and EQ abilities itself. (Note the small painted pedal. F-Boost for boosting clean Fender channel) I use the Tremolo in conjunction (The harmonic trem) as a Leslie or Univibe depending on the songs) The Strymon Volante is used for longer (Pink Floyd) Echo. I also use a super hyped version for spacey sections and tension. The Eventide h9 is primarily used for big reverbs and possible shimmer. Final Boost is a take up or attenuate for the whole board. I’ve used various other gains in the front and am always trying to find the holy stack.

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.

This company and their products are awesome. I sent an email question and the owner actually called me back by phone I have never had that happen. Service is fast and products arrived in cotton bags which is very cool. If you need professional cables these guys are the best. Thanks Hank.

Discovered Rattlesnake Cables when searching Internet for a Ric-O-Sound splitter to upgrade cheap-o Y splitter, also had them build me a Snakehead TRS cable with a 90° end to connect to my bass, I am impressed the strong effort in their ability to process the order rapidly, received the order in less than 72 hours from Missoula to Atlanta, exceptional quality product so I placed an 2nd order to upgrade my speaker cable on my Trinity B15 clone to Ampeg 2×10 cabinet, also ordered a Snakehead Rattlesnake weave 15' guitar cable with 90° end to replace my aging cable, same result with receiving order almost sooner than possible, I have always purchased quality cables from independent music stores but unfortunately for them Hank and his Rattlesnake Cable company now have any of my future business, these will likely last me a long time so I gotta recommend purchasing from them to keep them busy

I can't say enough about the exceptional quality of Rattlesnake Cables nor the customer service from Hank and his team. Owning some of the most expensive top of the line Fender Bass guitars and Mark Bass heads and cabinets, I feel you're only as good as the weakest link and every tiny detail matters, thus why my connecting cables need to be the very highest quality and construction. Rattlesnake is my high end cable CHOICE and investment, always exceeding my demands with cabling, stunning woven covers, heavy oversized "snakehead" gold connectors that are angled for flawless signals in my equipment. Warrantied for life but I always carry an extra Rattlesnake in my arsenal when at an event. If you are serious about your sound and passionate about music, then you need Rattlesnake, a brand that's making an impactful name for themselves against their competitors. When I arrive and unpack my gear, it's exciting to open up my cloth carrying bag and pull out a very heavy Rattlesnake to complete my look and sound that makes a biting statement with the first to the very last note. Everyone loves a beautiful Rattlesnake siting and can't keep their eyes, nor ears off of it, clearly something different than a made in China connector cable. No static, no hiss, no hum, no popping, no noise drops, no tangling, just pure sound of thunder coming from my basses on my Rattesnake's. I've never experienced better personalized service from anywhere like that from Hank and Rattlesnake, neither will you. I dare you to try them and tell me otherwise. This is not a paid endorsement, simply a true and honest testimonial Rattlesnake earned. Factual! My rating, an easy deserved, six out of a possible five stars!
