Pedal Line Friday :: Tonsure

Tonsure

This my primary pedalboard I use to gig with. The band I perform with is called Tonsure. We have an ig @tonsure.band. Anyways back to the board! To start with I will begin this journey with the pedals I use directly into the front of my amp.

It begins with the alter by farm pedals. It's a overdrive/fuzz pedal. I use it as an always on color pedal to add some grit to my tone. The next pedal is by rco and is called the skeptical pedal. It is a clone of the 29 euna input buffer pedal. So naturally I use it as an always on buffer to my chain.

The next pedal I use is the soul preacher by electro harmonix. It's an always on compressor pedal. I have this so I can keep my sound, well compressed! This leads us to pedals I do not have always which is the b494 pedal by yesterday effect. It's a clone of the ds-1 before they changed the circuit they use to this day. I use this as my distortion pedal when I want to have a heavier sound or just want to cover classic nirvana songs!

Next, is the bigg muff pi wicker pedal by electro harmonix. I use this when the song calls for some fuzz and not distortion. Perfect for punk songs!

The next pedal is a passive volume pedal by ernieball. I use this when I want to do swells in tandom with my reverb and delay pedal.

The next pedal is called the boost of the dead by farm pedals. I have this as an always on because it just add a nice little sweetness to the signal chain.

The next is my behringer eq pedal. I use this if I hear a harsh frequency I want to cut out.

Then finally just a simple outputbiffer that rco pedals sent me with the skeptical buffer I purchased. Next portion I will use bullet points to speed the process up.

Fx loop
1. Pitch fork by ehx/moog expression pedal. I use to pitch shift to varying degrees using the expression pedal

2.Fly agaric phaser by farm pedals- I use this with my qtron for grateful dead type leads and or for slow ethereal type songs

3.Qtron by ehx- I use this for an auto wah type of feel with funk songs my band and I perform and or for lead lines.

4. Small clone by ehx- I use this when performing 90's songs and or washed out lofi originals.

5.The choka by tc eletronics- Is a tremolo pedal I use when wanting to over pronounce lead melodies with my guitar.

6.The flight delay by jhs/m audio expression pedal- This I'm the only guitar player in the band I use this to add more space to my sound. With the expression pedal I can control the time control on the pedal so I can create very intresting effects during breakdowns of songs.

7. Cloudburst by strymon w/switch pedal- with this I use it to create a powerful wall of sound in tandom with the switch that I set to infinite mode which acts as a sustain pedal like for a piano.

8.ditto X2 tc electronics. This is a looper pedal that I primarily use to record root notes of a chord to create drone sounds. I then at times use the reverse function to add more chaos to the loop.

9. Oamp by 29 pedals. This is an output buffer I use at the end of my fx loop to clean up and regain signal strength to effects chain. Truly the secret hero to my board.

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.

And, there is definitely an improvement in tone when using the Rattlesnake cables. If you’re on the fence about it keep in mind the cables are far more sturdy than any others you’ll find and they’re priced actually less than the other high quality cables. You won’t be disappointed and if by some slight chance you are, Hank and the team at Rattlesnake will make it right.

Great experience from Rattlesnake Cable! I emailed a technical question and got a reply same day from the company owner- how often does that happen! I ordered a cable and received the correct cable within a week. These cables are very sturdy, built to last through gigs and travels- a tough environment for anything. I get compliments from other band members and concert-goers because of the nifty looking sleeve and stout plug ends. I'll be ordering more. Thanks!
