Pedal Line Friday :: Robert C.

This has been my studio and gigging rig for the last four or five years. Almost exclusively Rattlesnake cabling from guitar to amps (thanks for never having an issue!). Powered by a Strymon Zuma Power Supply.

Input to output:

Two inputs (I play lap steel and guitar on stage)
Passive A/B Switch by Saturnworks Pedals
MXR Noisegate — never know what you are plugging into on a gig
Mooer Pure Boost — in case I need a stronger signal before the compressor (rarely used)
Carl Martin Compressor — Light compression, generally and always on
Custom Audio Electronics Wah — used most often as a manual filter sweep
Strymon Sunset — A) Texas Blues light crunch, B) Thick OD, C) Clean boost (via a Saturnworks switch) Signal is always using one of these three
Earnie Ball VP Jr Volume pedal — Tuner out to Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2
Active Buffer by Saturnworks
Keeley Hydra — occasional tremelo and/or extra reverb, stereo out
Strymon Ola Chorus — Low and slow as Leslie speaker emulation, always on, stereo out
Strymon Blue Sky Reverb — usually a light mix of plate always on, stereo out

On stage I use two Boss Katana 100s on "clean". In the studio I use two late 60's Princetons.

New release (12/13/24):
Good at No Law
Winostrut & Friends

Cheers!
Robert

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.
