Pedal Line Friday :: Emma W.

I have been building out this pedalboard for about five years now, I use it for both guitar and bass. When I perform as Three Reefs Deep I play guitar, using the Solo XT to store and play back my basslines and samples, and the sDrum to keep the loopers (and me) synchronized. With this setup I am able to output either 1 summed signal with guitar, bass, samples, and drums, or I can provide 4 individual outputs for the FOH to mix. I also use this board for all of my songwriting and stereo recording, I am able to record direct regardless of the amount of background noise in my environment.

Here is a video of me going through the signal chain:

I power the board using rechargeable USB batteries and the Mission Engineering 529 power converters. I have to use a separate power supply and battery for the Solo XT as it is an older noisy digital unit. The only update I've made since filming this video is that I now run the RE2 in mono to save cables.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Sincerely,
Three Reefs Deep

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.
