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.

Rattlesnake Cables are tough and durable and carry beautiful big signals to my amps. I love the colors and patterns in the shell weave, but their base-line quality build carries the weight, so to speak. The company is awesome to deal with, too.

If you are looking for a new high quality guitar cable, or two, It'll be hard to beat the Quality of Rattlesnake Cables in Missoula. The service I've received has been incredible. Timely Shipping, and some of the finest materials, wire gauge, and assembly you could ask for. I picked up a couple of these cables and put them into my rig. I think these are the kind of quality I had hoped for. I purchased a 10' and a 15' Snake Weave Overwrap, and straight and right angle ends in Nickel. Did I say these are nice? Trust me they're the real deal. Thank you and big kudos to Hank and the team at Rattlesnake Cables. Chris - Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
