Pedal Line Friday :: Casey S.

Hey guys! Loving the idea for this series!

I'm a Montana native living in South Florida, rarely get to play anymore but build rigs on the side. Instagram handle is @schockcasey

Here's my current rig.

Starts with a Jazzmaster Baritone Partscaster, 28.5" scale tuned to C# standard plugged into a Rattlesnake cable that I de-sleeved 8 years ago when I tried to run a headphone extension through the same sleeving and ruined it. Still my favorite cable though!

Board is a Boss BCB-1000, pretty heavily modified with XLR output jacks and usb ports on the back. Underneath is a Morningstar ML5 loop switcher, a Strymon Conduit for midi control, and 2 Strymon Ojai R30 power supplies with a Cioks Crux for the QC.

With this rig I pushed myself to stay within the confines of the carry-on sized BCB-1000, while still having as many tonal options as possible. The hybrid rig with the Quad Cortex has made everything super flexible and easy to use. All of the front end pedals are in MIDI controlled loops, and all of the pedals in the FX loop can be bypassed and controlled via MIDI as well. On the back of the board I have access to an input, 2 expression jacks, 4 XLR outputs, and a USB port for programming the QC. There is also a standard IEC power input on the side.

I run a Dunlop DVP mini as an expression pedal to control a volume pedal block in the Quad cortex post my drive section.

Currently have the rig set up for Wet/Dry/Wet, but that can be easily combined to a stereo pair depending on the venue. I mostly play at home as a hobby, and church events when I can (I'm an AV tech so I'm usually behind the scenes). I built this setup to push myself and the limits of my board building knowledge as I start looking at a side project helping people rig build.

Everything wired up with Mogami Cable, soldered square plug connectors (right angle and straight, ts and trs)

Signal flow is as follows:
Input ->ML5 loops (Eons->Airchild ->Tumnus ->Halberd ->Dagger) ->QC (Ocatve -> split to W/D/W

Dry:Mesa Lonestar model ->Mesa 4x12 v30 cab ->very small room verb for a little space->output 3

Stereo Wet:Dc-2w ->Mesa Lonestar Model ->Mesa 4x12 v30 cab ->Analog Delay (1/4 note) ->Digital Delay(dotted 1/8th) ->Tremolo ->FX loop (Zoia ->Brig ->Cloudburst) ->Dual Reverse Delay ->Large Hall reverb ->Small Plate Reverb ->Shimmer Reverb ->Looper ->Output 1/2

Let me know if you want more details! Probably gonna pick up another Rattlesnake when I'm back home in a few weeks!

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.

Been jammin on my cable for a few weeks now, and have nothing bad to say. Though I feel like a dummy for not investing in a decent instrument cable sooner. I definitely plan on upgrading all my cables and connectors to Rattlesnake. Excellent quality, and sound, I'm eager to see how they hold up in... Read

Fantastic cables. Been curious about Rattlesnake for a few years. Finally ordered one. Was really impressed with the quality, the presentation and how cool it looked. I had to order a second. Any questions I had were quickly answered. Definitely want more.

April 2023... So I'm in Missoula, Montana visiting my son and his family… My son had this guitar cable that was an eye-catcher… Good quality cable with durable ends… Rattlesnake Cables…. Well… it so happens that Rattlesnake Cables is located in Missoula… Shot an email to Hank (the owner) about a custom order (15' with two 90's)… No problem… Placed the order late one night and the cable was ready for pickup the next day…. And Hank?… Super nice guy… And a pro player… My son and I then got a quick tour of his compact, yet efficient operation… In fact, the next morning I ordered a second custom cable (10' with two 90's) and it was ready that afternoon… So… major kudos to Hank and Rattlesnake Cables for such quick service… P.S. these cables will also make great gifts… Wayne from Texas
