Pedal Line Friday :: Mike M.

I've got 2 pedalboards that I finished putting together over the holiday break. The larger board is my main one with lots of gain stages (some set for my Strat and others set for my Gibsons). The missing slot will be filled with an Azor Tremolo that will be here soon. And the smaller board is only for use when recording songs created with the Trio+. The guitar effects are in the loop of the Trio+ and are used when putting down rhythm guitar parts with the Trio's bass/drum track. Once the backing track is created then I switch over to the big pedalboard for my main lead guitar parts, etc.

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.
