Pedal Line Friday :: Alec D.

This Temple Audio Trio 28 board holds my whole guitar rig. The Guitar Butler by Orange is my pre-amp, and the Seymour Duncan Powerstage 200 is the power amp. The PS 200 drives the 2x12 Peavey cabinet (Celestion Vintage 30 and G12T-75), and it also has an xlr out that can go straight to the house PA and monitor sends. I can play live with or without the cabinet, depending on the venue. The Guitar Butler has a buffered effects loop, so all the time based effects go through the loop, and everything else goes in the front of the pre-amp. You will see that the guitar cable, speaker cable, and more than a few of the patch cables are Rattlesnake Cables. The signal path goes in to tuner, Drop (super handy for covers in a live setting), Sub and Up, Warden compressor, Grey Channel two channel overdrive, JHS buffer, and into the front of Guitar Butler. From effects loop send the signal hits the noise gate, Tidewater tremolo, Grand Orbiter phaser, Chorus, Dispatch Master delay, EQ, Ditto looper (used for practice, not live), Spark clean boost, into effects loop return. The signal the goes in to the PS 200, and that functions as the master volume for the whole set up. Pedal Power True Tone CS12 is mounted under the board and powers everything but the PS 200.

The whole thing is portable, loud, relatively bomb proof, and it provides a wide variety of tones that I use when performing with my band. Yes, I have a 50 watt tube amp (1995 Peavey Classic 50 with the same speakers as the cabinet above that I have owned since new), but I have not played it since I set this up two years ago. This thing is flexible and easy. I play both my electric and acoustic guitars, depending on the gig, through it.

Cheers, and thank you for the great cables I’ve purchased from you!

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.

As a contract musician who sometimes plays several different venues a week, continually unwrapping and wrapping cords can cause disfigurement over time, so I opted to go with a heavier duty cable. A reputable bass player on a popular bass forum recommended Rattlesnake Cables for their build quality and durability, so I decided to give them a look. First impressions are important and I loved their web store layout. A minimal amount of clicking brought me where I wanted to be and I was able to customize what I wanted. Checkout was a breeze. Easy peasy. The quick shipping kind of caught me off-guard, but was welcomed. When the box arrived a couple of days later, I opened it to discover my cables in a cool bag and a personal note and autographed paper pad as well. I wasted no time in putting my new 10' cable through the paces as I had a gig that evening and am happy to report the cable is solid as a rock and I can see why it comes with a lifetime guarantee. It's made for whatever kind of abuse you want to give it. I suspect it'll be much easier to lose it or have it stolen than it will be for it to quit working one day. Now I've owned good cables before, but I've never received the level of customer support as I did with this purchase. Not only did I get a personalized email from Hank asking how my purchase experience was, but the next morning when I come dragging in from my gig, there was a personalized video from him in my email inbox. To me, that in itself personifies what a great company would do to make sure they had a satisfied customer base. From this point forward, all my cables will be Rattlesnakes.

I have been playing music a good part of my life, I am always in search of improving every aspect of what I do. Having never been totally satisfied with guitar cables out of local and major music stores, I decided to take a chance on the Rattlesnake Cable Company that kept popping up in my newsfeed. I rarely do such things. I ordered two 10 ft cable for me with a very cool looking rattlesnake weave pattern, and a 15 ft red weave cable for my wife’s Spector bass. The next morning, to my utter surprise, I had received an email with a personal video from Hank, thanking me for the business and telling me his crew would be starting on my order first thing that morning and it should ship out by end of day. I received cables three days later, each individually wrapped in their own little gig bag. I was totally impressed with the quality of these cables, so very cool looking and they look indestructible. The customer service was exceptional from start to finish. I’m glad I took that chance, Hank and the crew will get my business wherever that need arises. Thanks for everything Hank, my best to you and the crew for a job well done! Stan Hall

I purchased a 20' cable from Rattlesnake Cable Company. My Bass guitar sound changed dramatically when using this cable. The mid frequencies and high frequencies sounded more open and balanced. After that I bought one to go between my pedal board and amp. There is something to improving your cabling in your entire rig. Whether its from your guitar/bass to your pedal board and then to your amp or even power cables from your wall to your amp. Dare I say from your amp to your speaker too? Rattlesnake company makes awesome custom cables for your guitar or bass rig. The best bang for the buck in low capacitance cable I could find! Oh I forgot cables between your pedals can effect your sound too....get good ones!
