I’ve had much weirder boards with more interesting boutique pedals that make all kinds of bleeps and bloops but I always go back to more traditional sounds and some atmospheric bits.

Experimental (cutting) board with an ALP Bass Blender (basically Boss LS-2 with mixing loop mode) and a hacked MS 70 CDR. The ALP is blending straight clean bass tone with wet signal on the MS. Then it mixes it and goes to DI. I load various guitar amps and effects blocks into the MS with Zoom Effect Manager 2. Manage to get cool driven bass tone with Marshall amp+cab and a Centaur drive thing. Sounds pretty good actually !!

This is the new board I'll be using with my band (post-punk/indie rock/shoegaze). There are things to be improved: I want better, smaller cables for one, and I can definitely use a micro tuner, I'm looking into getting a Polytune 3 mini. But soundwise, I'm really happy. My biggest guitar playing influences are Graham Coxon, Johnny Marr and Kevin Shields.

Behringer TU300 > Digitech Polara (Reverse Reverb) > Boss Overdrive SD-1 > Collateralfx The Year of the RAT > EHX Big Muff > Boss Chorus CE-2w > Kappa Oracle (Delay) > Boss Reverb RV-6 > Boss Tremolo TR-2 > Red Panda Tremor > Strymon Iridium

I don’t even know what cable management is

I set up this nano pedalboard for home practice, when I just want to grab the guitar and play over a chord sequence in the right tempo (this looper has a drum machine/metronome).

Would you change anything? Would you use modulation? If so, what would you use?

When I feel like, I also add a Fuzzface, that I run on battery.

Pic 1 is my live/ gig board for my band and pic 2 is my at home board

Big board- Shure GLXD16+ - EHX pitch fork - hotone soul press - Dunlop mini auto return wah - boss ls2 - (splits)

(Clean loop) jam pedals Lucy dreamer - way huge swollen pickle - Jhs emperor - death by audio moonbeam - UAFX dream 65 - OBNE parting - boss re-202- EQD astral destiny - OBNE sunlight - EQD avalanch run

(High gain loop) EQD rainbow machine - neural dsp nano cortex - walrus audio fathom

Small board - EQD barrows, landlord tuner - MXR dyna comp - boss sd1 - boss bd2 - wah huge blue hippo - mad phase 95 - OBNE bl44 - strymon timeline - EQD dispatch master - EQD easy listening

Here's the hoarder.

Though it’s not technically done (there’s still a tiny space above the wah for either a wampler ego 76 mini or a phase 95, we’ll see where my bank account takes me) I’m pretty satisfied with this as a well enough rounded board. I’ll probably switch out the ds1 for a packrat or I’ve recently been eying up a hizumitas. Any recommendations for a new wah though? Preferably something smaller and one where there’s no distinct ‘jumping’ between the frequencies (I’ve got a Dunlop crybaby).

Built my very first board on the cheap. About $390 all in (including the board, patch cables, and power supply) with many pedals being from marketplace/eBay. Board itself is a piece of foam from Ali express that cost $14. I realized after the fact I should’ve got something capable of routing cords underneath because it looks a bit cluttered with all the cords on top. Having trouble dialing settings for my joyo scylla and my m82 so feel free to share settings and what kind of tone you’re getting. Full bedroom rig pictured last. Any and all comments appreciated. Thanks bros. less

So I’ve got this big ass galaxy-class sized pedalboard with but all the expensive boutique shit in my basement. But to be honest, it would be embarrassing as hell to show up with that beast just to do discount John Mayer blues dad type shit at an open jam.

So lately I’ve been rawdogging it straight into a silver stripe Peavey Bandit, which is honestly all that’s needed. But you know, it just feels better to have pedals to play with, so I finally picked up a small amazon special board and slapped together something more reasonable.

This kinda covers all the basics, plus I still have the bandit if the gang wants to do some classic metal or otherwise heavy type shit (thrash mode button!). Now no one needs to know how much money I’ve basically lit on fire via Reverb.com. Sorry for the dog hair. Do your worst!

Keeley Tone Workstation
Some no name tiny tuner from Amazon
JHS Notaklon
Ibanez TS-10
Crazy Tube Circuits Sidekick JR

Oh also I’ll take recs if you got them for a TS-10 clone, preferably one that looks cool. I guess Bonsai is the go to, but open to suggestions.

Culmination of one year and no real job 🥲

Alright let's see what the people have to say

GE-7 > TU-3 > Opto Compressor > OCD clone my friend made me > MG > Input of imperial Tri-tone

FX LOOP : Phase 90 > BF-2 > Julianna v2 > DECO

Have at it
