Pedal Line Friday :: Daniel V.

I'm a Percussive Fingerstyle Guitarist & Vocalist out of Florida. This is the pedalboard I currently have with the Boss-BCB90X pedalboard. 

It begins with the Boss Chromatic Tuner. Pretty self-explanatory.

From there,  it goes to the Boss Acoustic Preamp pedal, which gives the Guitar the acoustic tone I am after. And I find it helps with percussion.

Then it's preamp pedal to the Boss OC5 Octave pedal, which I have set to polyphonic mode and around 8:30 on the range knob just so the octave occurs on the bottom 2 strings only.

From the Octave we go to the Digitech Whammy Ricochet, which is a fun pitch changer. I have it set to do a quick rise and slow fall, and set to the Octave + Dry signal setting so it gets the original Guitar sound and also changes the pitch.

From there, we go to the Ibanez Distortion pedal which I forget the name of. I keep the drive on 12:00, and control the volume level instead. 

From there, it's the Electro-Harmonix Phase Shifter (which was an accident). I keep that also around 12:00, and it comes in handy for songs like Purple Rain.

Then the Boss RC-500 Loop pedal, to the arena reverb pedal, then out to the system. 

It's a fun board, but I do plan to upgrade it.

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.
