Pedal Line Friday :: Bret D.

Bret D.

We want a list of pedals (manufacturer/model), routing would be great, and, most importantly, why you use those particular pedals. Always a work in progress, here's a recent configuration.

- Korg PitchBlack. Put the tuner with the cleanest signal. Also, great for a kill switch!

Next, the dirt:

- Catalinbread Naga Viper

- Catalinbread Karma Suture (Ge)

I really like the sound of the Naga Treble Booster hitting the Karma Suture. Pleasant, dirty, but different.

- JHS Pack Rat

When natural sounding overdrive isn't enough, you want something that with teeth.

- JHS Muffaletta

And sometimes you need something wooly.

- JHS: If you can't pick which Rat or Big Muff Pi (or Tube Screamer--Bonsai, not pictured because I don't have one yet) you want or can't afford it, why not have them all? I think of them as libraries.

- Hilbish Designs Deathimizer

Like dropping your tone into a vat of boiling bacon fat--sizzles and spits. Hey, I won it from you guys!

Finally, modulation and space:

- Catalinbread EchoRec

I can never get the right echo sound with a regular delay the way I can with this pedal. On the down side, no tap tempo.

- Keeley DynoMyRoto

If you're going to chorus, chorus like you mean it, the way they did in the '80s.

- Walrus Audio Slo

Dialed back, it's a sense of space, but with something extra you can't quite place. Dialed &up and with sustain activated, it's a pad to make your noodling cosmic.

- Catalinbread Talisman

A nice, smooth, studio style plate. The reverb on my amp is virtually unnoticeable--I think the tube that drives it needs replacement.

- Catalinbread Zero Point

Flerb, for extra whooshiness. Also, the manual nature means you can inject the whoosh right where you want it for maximum impact.

All on a Gator Extra Large aluminum board (on sale!) with a lot of added fastener tape, powered by a Fender Engine Room 12 mounted underneath (with 12 outputs & each one at 500mA!). Bret D.

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.

Amazing service! Very fast and uniquely personal. The patch cable, TRS cable, and TRS splitter I purchased are also fantastic. I will definitely come back for more gear as I need it.

Hank and his team know about tone and they are out to help their customers achieve the sound they are seeking - whatever it might be.
