I’ve seen a lot of posts about guitars and showing off guitars, but not a lot about the next most important piece of tone in everyones’ collection: your pedalboard! Show off your pedalboard here, and tell us all about it and why you love it! I’ll start us off with my humble little board:
My Pedalboard (Imgur)
My chain goes: TC PolyTune Noir –> Digitech Drop –> Morley Little Alligator Volume –> Dunlop CryBaby –> FullTone Full-Drive 2 –> FullTone OCD –> ProCo RAT –> ModTone Analog Chorus –> TC Transition
I picked up a lot of these pedals used, especially in the earlier days in high school when money was more scarce, but I love all the pedals I have on here. The Drop is one of the better purchases I’ve ever made, especially with a Floyd-equipped guitar. I love being able to go from drop D to drop A just by turning a knob, and it sounds great. The Morley Little Alligator is alright, but honestly is probably going to be the first pedal I replace. It’s not a linear volume, it’s got a curve so it’s precise near the ends and then in the middle it’s really sensitive. I’d rather have a linear volume instead, personal preference. Of course I can’t have a pedalboard without a wah. I used to run the Full-Drive 2 into the OCD to produce distortion (Such as on my earliest riff video) and it sounded alright, but it had a ton of frequency overlap and basically, it had this one niche pocket of settings where it would sound neat but if I altered anything it would start to sound like a really intense fuzz pedal. So recently I went and picked up the ProCo RAT, and I absolutely love this pedal. It covers so much range, and I currently have the FullDrive 2 set up like a Tube Screamer to provide a lead boost for the RAT. The Modtone chorus is one I picked up on Musician’s Friend stupid deal of the day, just because I needed a chorus at the time, and it’s worked for all my chorus needs ever since so I’ve never had a reason to replace. And the TC Transition is a great delay, I picked it up used, and it’s essentially an older iteration of TC’s Flashback models. I wanna get a reverb soon, but for now I run reverb on my Orange CR35LDX amp, which works for now, although it’s pretty generic and not very variable.
So let’s see everyone’s beautiful boards!
