Pedal Rearrangement

Fun with pedal boards!

Here are the majority of my pedals that I would use live. Everything except the ES-9 and the MT-2 are a necessity. Still need to buy velcro and such. Until then, I have a good chance to try out new ways to order the board. Feel free to make suggestions!

I don't know what most of those pedals are....

Just a bit late. I already got the velcro, cleaned up the steel and arranged it all.

If you're wondering, there's two distortions, one overdrive, one boost, a tremolo/reverb hybrid, a super reverb, and a chorus pedal. Includes tuner and Ernie Ball volume pedal.

you should sell some to add money to your 'new guitar fund'... I see a blackstar tube overdrive? that also does clean boost, right? keep that, ditch the rest other than the trem/verb hybrid or chorus and verb.... you need to choose between 60s and 80s, both are cool.... now get yourself a serious guitar!

Finished product. Everything except the two smaller distortions are quite valuable to me, but they all had to be tweaked at such a level until they can all be independent, and somewhat, good sounding tones.

The Blackstar has a boost, I use it somewhat clean, just a tiny bit of dirt. The little green pedal has more dirt, and the Metal Zone + Distortion side of the Blackstar are two different distortions.

My prize and joy is the reverb... love that thing. For $120 brand new, it was a fantastic buy. Now, that guitar... just need that job, still working on getting one. New guitar is first priority, and I have all the information I need to buy one.

the trouble with this pedalboard is the buffer placement. You have 2 boss buffers towards the beginning of the signal chain which makes sense when the Metal Zone is engaged but when you are playing clean it would work better to have the Metal Zone last as the buffer is quite decent and would be great from an electrical standpoint as the last pedal in the chain with so many pedals in line sucking top-end and dynamics.... but the effect makes ZERO sense there....

I'm sure it sounds fine though. Just an experiment here, build a true bypass loop pedal and route your whole board through it so you can take all he pedals in and out of the chain on bypass and see if you hear a tonal difference. Is it an improvement to your ear? There's no rule that says the effect of all that extra cable and circuitry will make you sound bad despite the prevailing wisdom! Just a cool experiment.
