Pedal Line Friday :: Jesus D.

Hello!

I am constantly tinkering with different pedal setups, but for this mini board I’ve settled on a Hendrix-inspired setup.

I find it forces me to think more about my playing and engaging with my guitar’s controls rather than focusing on what pedals I need to have on or oft at any given time.

My signal chain is:
MXR Octavio (previously an Earthquaker Devices Tentacle) -> Dunlop Band of Gypsys FuzzFace -> Dunlop Mini-Wah -> MXR Uni-Vibe -> Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master -> Dunlop Echoplex Preamp.

The board is a Pedatrain mini and the cables are all Rattlesnake with the patch cables custom built by the good folks at Rattlesnake. The board is powered by an MXR Mini ISO Brick.

I usually like to run this setup into a Vox AC10 but any dirty amp will do. I can have my fuzz on all the time and just use my guitar’s volume to clean up and add other effects to taste. I play mostly through Stratocasters with this but am not adverse to humbucker-equipped guitars.

I am always experimenting with different genres and play with a revolving cast of amazing musicians so I feel this board keeps me somewhat anchored.

I am currently away from social media but my SoundCloud is attached below.

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.
