Pedal Line Friday :: Andy S.

I have tons of pedals and boards, but these are the latest that I'm gigging.

Board one: This is my main board, I have the Shure GLXD16+ Digital Wireless Guitar Pedal System going into my Zoom MS-60B with a bunch of my own programmed sounds (mainly synth things, chorus, different distortions), then to the Origin Effects Cali76 Bass Compressor, and finally out of the Noble dual vacuum tube Preamp that every soundman knows and loves and comments on. Also have an Airturn BT 500s page turner pedal on this board for page turning notes on my notes on my ipad, much more professional than scrolling though notes by hand on an ipad while the crowd is watching.

Board two: This is my 'sub' board. I do a lot of sub gigs here in Las Vegas, and many artists do the same songs here but in different keys. Sometimes I have to use the first pedal on this board, my DigiTech Drop Polyphonic Drop Tune Pitch-Shift Pedal, it tracks awesome on bass and is great to use if you need to suddenly go down a step or two! Next is my Korg XS Tuner Pedal, then to a few favorite MXRs: first the MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe M83 for all those Journey and Bon Jovi hits, then to a MXR M81 Bass Preamp for the output mix. Also on this board is an Airturn BT 500s page turner pedal for page turning notes on my ipad. I use a dual right angle Rattlesnake cable as well anytime I am not going wireless, I am stage left and my frontman always like to invade my space. I found that if I route my cable that way he will not always be stepping on it!

Thx-
Andy

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.
