Pedal Line Friday :: Aaron C.

Aaron C.

This is the board I use with my band Morning Giants live and in the studio. It is in a state of flux with some of the gains but stays focused in the main base tone of Ethos Clean Fusion Deluxe. 


Signal chain: 


tuner > karma Odr clone > karma mostortion clone > ethos harmonic Bias tremolo > Ethos Clean a fusion deluxe > strymon Volante > Eventide H9 max > free the tone final boost > Louis Electric Buster (higher powered tweed deluxe variant)


I use the two karma pedals to boost the Ethos Clean Fusion deluxe for solos and accentuate special parts. The Ethos Clean Fusion Deluxe (CFD) does Dumble and BF Fender Tones. It has various boost and EQ abilities itself. (Note the small painted pedal. F-Boost for boosting clean Fender channel) I use the Tremolo in conjunction (The harmonic trem) as a Leslie or Univibe depending on the songs) The Strymon Volante is used for longer (Pink Floyd) Echo. I also use a super hyped version for spacey sections and tension.  The Eventide h9 is primarily used for big reverbs and possible shimmer.  Final Boost is a take up or attenuate for the whole board.  I’ve used various other gains in the front and am always trying to find the holy stack.

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.

Just purchased my second instrument cable from Rattlesnake, another snake head in Sidewinder Red. I simply love everything about the product and the company. First, workmanship… you will not find a cable that looks better and provides the clearest single as these will. Not just new but two years... Read

First time i used a cable i heard the difference. There was crisp clarity with no loss of highs in the signal. I've been a Whirlwind cable guy for years but these cables sound & look better. Hank Donovan & his staff are an absolute pleasure to deal with. Great communication & a true concern for customer satisfaction. I purchased 3 - 15' snake weave standard cables , 2 - 15' black weave standard cables , 1 - 20' red weave standard cable. All cables have 1 straight end & 1 angled end. Thats how much i like these cables.

Just purchased my second instrument cable from Rattlesnake, another snake head in Sidewinder Red. I simply love everything about the product and the company. First, workmanship… you will not find a cable that looks better and provides the clearest single as these will. Not just new but two years down the road my first cable is my go-to for everything. Why a second cable? As my gear developed so did my needs. The snake head design is a must-have if you have high-end guitars and want to protect that investment! The ability to customize the configuration and connection choice makes the gear fit the way you envision it should. While all of this is great, Rattlesnake is a small company that takes pride not just in their products but in customer service. I have reached out to them with cable ideas and they helped guide me… before a sale was made. This might be the strongest kudos I can give that they understand what customer service is all about. Don’t buy cables from anyone else. Rattlesnake is home!
