A place to share our love of pedals and boards.

I wanted to share my latest pedalboard and the wiring I did yesterday. This is therapeutic for me. https://photos.app.goo.gl/QcEzP1HGPJkXfHE9A
Thank you Scott for sharing your pedalboard! I will share my pedal board later.

tomo, i remember seeing a video of yours from years ago on youtube where you just got a wood cutting board from the kitchen, that is awesome!
after that video i became an expert in wood cutting boards on amazon haha.
but i bought a used medium mono board. it was a pretty huge board for me, took up the entire living room, shilpa did not complain but did not say its awesome either. 😅
i am so profoundly lucky. also not really portable.
scott, your wiring is so clean, well done.
also i always wanted to try that red panda. is it using granular synthesis?
(i am just using a term i heard from curtis roads, ucsb. i sat in on a few of his classes at the beginning for fun but just familiar with the term. )
i had the 1176 compressor for a while.
do you like the benson's pedal, i keep wanting to get his germanium pre-amp or fuzz.
mine was a complete "rats nest".
just took it apart now i have this:

but i'm still just using the tuner.
aby so i can use one each or both combos. i have a pedal for one combo but the other just has reverb dials.
i like this idea of a modular board with lots of small boards.
btw i have had the "smart wool darn tough" socks for over a decade, highly recommended :)

Thank you Sunil! Yes! I used to use that pedal board... a little too big now. Now I use D'Addario XPND pedal board. I will make a video later. (If I can find my phone!) Nice pedalboard!
PS, I own too many effect pedals! I love using a tuner pedal too.

Sunil, I love making all the different sounds. I love the Benson pedal. You can get really good cleans and good dirt. It's one of my favorites. I like the 1176 because it has a double mode that sounds like Jimmy Page. Red Panda Particle is so cool. So many different sounds

Sunil,
About the wiring...I saw a video from Vertex Effects where Mason M. showed how he organizes the boards he makes. I always had a rat's nest of wires, too! I wanted to see if I could do it and if I liked it. I used Dual Lock. I think it's great as long as I don't ever change any pedals out, so good luck with that (I say to myself)!
I like a tuner pedal, but I have 2 or 3 boards now and usually use clip tuners if I don't have one on the board. I have toyed with getting one of those $179 Peterson Desk Tuners, but haven't yet. That would free up my boards.
One of the problems I had was I bought a power supply that was too tall in height and it was just big enough not to fit underneath the board. Very disappointing, but I went ahead and bought a Canvas Power 15 from Walrus Audio and it is super thin in height, plus it had enough slots for what I needed.
I am going to try to get a board with a riser from Hands Custom and see how that works.
Like Tomo, I too have a Daddario XPND one row board. I like that one also.
P.S. I dig those socks!!!
yeah, my breadboards were always the same in school, total rats nest.
worked but so hard to debug when something is changed or when something goes wrong.
i like rechargeable batteries.
but isolated power supplies are good.
less is more with the stuff i think now.
i want to just get to the combo, cable, pick, guitar.
also the more i practice,
the less qualified i feel to answer 😅
hey scott,
also tomo has some killer videos on his youtube ch about the tube screamer series, and the TF jan ray!
pretty cool...i keep wondering now about adding that subtle umami flavor when im listening to my guitar.
wondering if i hear it with different boosts lately, pot now, i was using tube pre-amp pedal before.
