chapersdale's Pedalboard
Current pedal board layout for bedroom jamming. No room for the wah, so that has to take the floor.

A great 2nd amp
Bought this as an upgrade from my first practice amp and it sent me down the slippery slope of fx pedals. Ideal for bedroom practicing and exploring tone, this amp provides the perfect platform for learning about what amps, pedals and sounds are out there, if your willing to put a bit of time in to perfect them. Super easy to set up, adjust and use. The in build tuner is a godsend and the bluetooth connectivity is awesome. I'd also throughly recommend using the Fender Tone app for even more functionality.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Personal favourite set up is running two delays (one on ¼ note and one on dotted ⅛ notes) into an amp for chill shimmery goodness.
Avg price: $102.63
Simple, Solid, Reliable.
Great loop pedal for the money and an excellent tool to have weather your gigging or just bedroom jamming. Keeps a good level of clarity between individual loops when you start to stack them up. I use mine with a FS-5U to make stopping and undoing that much easier but you don't necessarily need to. Despite being simple, I'd recommend reading the instructions at some point so you can take advantage of the 2 settings you can change to get this loop to be perfect for you.
Tone City Tiny Spring Reverb Pedal
Avg price: $59.51
Great and simple reverb
Awesome spring reverb, simple single knob control makes it very easy to use. A lot of reverb from such a small footprint!
TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2 Reverb
Avg price: $122.16
Massively versatile reverb
Really great reverb, not a bad sound in it. Does the classic spring, plate and hall really well but it excells at the more ambient sounds, church, shimmer and lofi. The tone print ability is such a fantastic idea, but I found it hard to use and so haven't really delved into it too much.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Shimmer reverb after a volume swell pedal for the ultimate ambient wash.
Avg price: $125.77
A perfect memory man... just smaller
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The memory man came out in 1976 and this pedal is the perfect homage to it. Smaller foot print and a scaled back set of controls but all of the fun of the OG!
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Any level of delay is perfect and works best with a very slight level of modulation.
Avg price: $43.64
Perfect pedal extension
Bought this to use with my RC-1 Loop pedal and it's really helped me unlock the loops potential. I've also used it as an expression pedal on a few keyboards and it does that pretty well too.
Electro-Harmonix Neo Clone Chorus
Avg price: $75.85
Great classic chorus
Fantastic chorus that I kind of bought on a whim. Got some really great usage out of it though! Despite only having 2 controls, you can get a surprising variety of tones out of this! My only drawback is an annoying pop I get when first turning the pedal on after the power has been off, it's never been enough of an issue for me to need to do anything about it so I have no idea if it's just an issue with mine or a more widespread issue
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Depth switch up, dial on half past 10 gives a great, rich, washy chorus sound; perfect for strumming chords into.
Avg price: $52.81
Great Plexi Tones
Was bought this for Christmas many moons ago and it's been on my pedal board ever since. I've used it as a lighter overdrive into a distortion, a heavier distortion after an overdrive and as an always on amp in a box "pre amp" into an amp where the standard tone just sucked. This pedal can give you a great variety of sounds depending on your gain level and guitar volume so I'd thoroughly recommend it.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Gain at 8o'clock, volume at unity and tone just before noon. Turn your guitar down to about 6/7 and you've got perfect Hendrix "clean" tone
Avg price: $52.69
Perfect for small budgets
An excellent imitation of one of the most iconic overdrive sounds. The small footprint makes it great for cramming on to your pedal but the lack of space for a battery means you've got to have some sort of power supply running to it. Gets a little noise with higher volumes and gain, but I've never been disappointed with mine.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Great for use as a light gain into a distortion or as a mid boost after a fuzz such as the big muff.
Avg price: $137.22
Good sound and good looks
Great compressor with probably the best power light I've seen, and as a bonus, when the pedal "compresses" the light glows red instead of white. The visually sleek design is a bonus and the back lit knobs are a great feature (with the ability to turn them off to save your battery). All round an excellent pedal.
Avg price: $104.83
If wah is your thing, this wahs pretty well
Good pedal for the price, nice smooth function and good tones. I found it difficult to turn on and off to begin with from my usual seating position, so had to adjust to use the wah. I would really call that a draw back of the pedal though, it's more designed to be on the floor before a pedal board than on a pedal board.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Left on in the heel down position with some medium gain after it gave me some beautiful, harmonic feedback. Stacking that with some ambient delay and reverb is just beautiful.
Avg price: $173.17
Solid unit, but it's never big enough
Great pedalboard, comes with velcro and a carry case so you're all set to gig! Plenty of room underneath for a psu and cables. I feel like this pedalboard is a gateway pedalboard, if you enjoy pedals, your gonna want more pedals and you soon find that this one isn't quite big enough, and the next one won't be big enough either, nor the one after that... it's a slippery slope from there
