Pedal Line Friday :: Matt V.

Matt V.

So, I have a problem. Well, maybe it's not a "problem", I just feel a little guilty. I have dozens and dozens of pedals. I probably could build around 10 full pedalboards with all my pedals. So, this is just a current "home/practice" rig. We start with an Acorn Amplifiers Solid State Preamplifier- it's the variation of Acorn's "Peavey Decade in a box" that doesn't have a power amp. I'm using it mostly as a kind of clean boost, that can also do chainsaw distortion. From there we go to the "heart" of the build- an Old Blood Noise Endeavors Beam Splitter. I'm a huge fan of Geordie's tone in Killing Joke, and he famously uses two Bell ADT bass units to get that tone, so, when this came out ( the basic deal is "one in, three out with three different drive tones and really short delay on two for seperation ") I built this board for it. So, "channel one" goes from low gain distortion to a trio of Walrus Audio pedals- an ARP 87 modulated delay, a Julia Chorus/Vibe, and a Slotva ambient Reverb into a Boss Katana mk II. Channel two is a light Overdrive, with about 40 ms delay to a Mr Black Downward Spiral pitched delay and a Mr. Black Deluxe Plus reverb/tremolo into a Fender Blues Junior III ( with about a half dozen mods) Channel 3 is a medium gain distortion with about 50 ms delay into an Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master and a Boss RE 20 Space Echo into a Peavey Windsor Studio, currently using an EL 34 power tube, though I can put in just about any power tube in it. The result? A pretty "dimensional" sound. Not quite Geordie Walker, but close enough for a hack like me.

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.

Ill tell you what I've owned Fender , shure, D’addario, and VOX cables. Rattlesake is the best cable i prefer. Top quality tone matches with the most rigged tough braided lines you can find. Great for any set up. And the snake head design is awesome for the instrument and providing flexibility where needed most. I also own a few of their patch cables. The flat head design works perfectly on my pedal board for best use of room. Only time i dont buy a Rattle snake is in a pinch. And thats not often as the Rattlesnake cables last forever!!

I have them thru out all my rig and I have the best tone and my rig is super quiet. Hank and his team put a lot of pride in their work and it shows. Any time I’ve ordered from rattlesnake I’ve always got my order shipped super fast. And packaged well. If you are serious about your tone. And looking for the best guitar and patch cables for your rig? Then give rattlesnake cables a try. Made in the USA.
