Pedal Line Friday :: Mike W.

First and foremost, I am by no means a guitar player, but rather a singer who knows how to play guitar.

I am blessed to front the band Low Speed Chase. We are a 90s tribute band and play everything from Alice In Chains to Matchbox 20. If it was a hit in the 90s, chances are we play it.

My pedal chain is as follows:
I use an EQD Swiss Things (pedal board reconciler) to control everything I use. (It's buffered, boosted, contains two loops, as well as dedicated volume and tuner inputs.

I use a Korg Pitchblack tuner currently. I like how accurate it is and I can also still see it in bright sunlight.

I use a Lehle volume pedal to adjust levels and mute. It is ridiculously precise and the magnetic process makes for a very smooth sweep and virtually maintenance free.

The signal chain starts with a Digitech Drop Pedal (great for easily tuning down the guitar in 1/2 step increments).

For the dirt loop, I have an Ibanez TS-9 that leads into a Boss DS-1. The Tubescreamer really brightens up the DS-1.

Those lead into two different Fuzz/dirt pedals: a ProCo Rat ii, an NUX metal core covers the scooped Mesa Rectifier sound I need and no board from the 90s is complete without an original Big Muff NY; All of these dirt pedals are essential to the style music we play.

For the modulation loop, I use a Boss CE-2 chorus, as well as an EHX Small Stone, Boss TR2 tremolo, and Boss FW2 for flanger type stuff. (These are used when I use the Walrus ACS1 direct)

When I'm running direct to my amp I cover reverb and tremolo from the VOX foot switch into my Vox AC15.

The board out put is handled by a 25' custom Rattlesnake Cable Co. snake and then of course I use a Rattlesnake Cable Co. snakehead 20' instrument cable. (Oxblood weave)

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.

Bought my first Rattlesnake Cable Co. cable and was very pleased all around. The Customer Service was top notch, shipping was quick and the cable arrived well packaged. Performance-wise, the cable is well built and should be very durable. The sound is what I was shocked by the most (its just a cable, right???). I have been using pretty decent cables for years, but the Rattlesnake cable had a noticeable clarity right away, compared to my other cables. Highly recommend this product.

So inspiring to see a company that offers superior craftsmanship and exceptional customer service. Within hours of my order I received a personalized video message thanking and updating me on my order status - this is true bespoke service. My order was expedited incredibly fast, the product was impeccably packaged, and the overall quality was outstanding. Thank you, Hank, and the rest of the Rattlesnake team for making my first experience perfection - I will certainly be back soon.
