Pedal Line Friday :: Andy R.
I am a jazz-fusion guitarist based in New Jersey. I need a rig that is pristine, quiet, and capable of covering a wide dynamic range, from clean jazz chords to funk rhythms to singing fusion leads. I rely on Rattlesnake Cables for the runs in and out of the board, including a custom loom that handles the audio output and the amp channel switching control.
Recently, this rig helped power my instrumental cover of Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue," which spent 14 weeks at #1 on the Roots Music Report Top 50 Jazz Song Chart in 2025.
I primarily use 3 drive tones, all of which are achieved by an RJM PBC/6X switcher selecting a pair of stacked drive pedals. The first is always the J. Rockett Archer (Klon circuit) set clean to push the front end of other drives. This gives me three distinct gain structures that I can recall via the RJM:
Low Gain (Larry Carlton vibe): Archer pushing a Fulltone Full-Drive 1. This is my go-to for expressive, touch-sensitive fusion rhythm and light leads.
Medium Gain: Archer pushing a Timmy V2. This gets me into a grittier, bluesy territory while retaining transparency.
High Gain: Archer pushing an original Zendrive. This is the smooth, sustaining "Dumble-esque" lead tone.
The Rest of the Signal Path:
Boost: A Keeley Katana sits after the switcher. I use this for a clean volume jump during solos so the tone doesn't change, just the level.
Time & Modulation: I use MIDI to recall presets on a Boss DD-500 and a Strymon Cloudburst. I also use a Mr. Black Vintage Ensemble for lush modulation.
Amp Control: The RJM is also configured to switch my amp channels via the TRS line in my Rattlesnake output loom.

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.

I’ve had my Rattlesnake Cables for going on six years with zero issues. Build quality is phenomenal, tonal difference is amazing and Hank and company are great to work with! One of the simplest and best upgrade investments in my entire rig.

Everything I've gotten from Rattlesnake has been unmatched in quality. I use a lot of cables in my setup, and switching everything out with the ones I got from Hank and here at Rattlesnake, I could hear the difference from the first note I played. I use heavy distortion, and I can get so much of a cleaner, more concise full grit distortion tone with these. It really does make a huge difference, and, the extra high end from the low capacitance is really welcome. Not to mention, I had a TON of questions. I order two custom looms in sets of three, and they answered all my questions and have been more than accommodating in every way possible. Response times were so quick too, and the vibes were great. I most definitely will be a longtime customer to Rattlesnake.
