Your Perfect Pedal Board

Post by Seten »

Sorry if someone already made a thread like this, I couldn't find one so I figured I'd start one.

If money/pedalboard space weren't an issue, what would be your ideal board? Or, what are you trying to eventually turn your board into? If you wanna talk about how you'd use each pedal (e.g. for dirt pedals, which one for low gain, which one for med gain, etc), go ahead. It'd also be cool to say which instrument(s) you'd use it on. Personally, I like reading pedal order in a column, but do whatever you want.

I'm hoping at some point to make my board (bass/guitar/occasionally synth)

Tuner
Copilot Arrow
Feedback looper
Fuzzrocious Demon
SS/BS Mini
TAFM
Copilot Trek
Rusty Box (Bypassed for use with guitar)
Crybaby Bass for bass, Crybaby for guitar (I don't have much experience in wah pedals outside of those)
Cosmichorus/Sea Machine (can't decide)
Starlight Flanger
Copilot Gyroscope
Interstellar Orbiter
Dispatch Master
Procession Reverb/RM1N (cant decide)
Ditto Looper X2

I'm already there I think.
Boss yellow pedals for dirt and Eventide stuff with a MIDI controller for everything else.

Now it's time to try different amps.

Dude, I plan one of these everyday and it's different every time. Today's is this:

Deluxe Wolf Computer
MXR Bass Octave Deluxe
Dr Scientist BitQuest
Old Blood Noise Procession
DMMTT1100
Fairfield Circuitry The Accountant
Dr Scientist Heisenberg
Chase Bliss Gravitas
Chase Blise Spectre
Digitech Timebender (modded with tap-tempo input)
Digitech Jamman Express
Digitech Jamman Solo

Then, to control the tempo of the DMMTT1100, Gravitas, Spectre, Timbender,the Jammans, and send midi to ableton on my laptop I'd get a Disaster Area Designs SmartClock. For expression control over the BitQuest, Gravitas, and Spectre I'd get an expressionator.


This would probably be everything I'd ever need, but if I answered again tomorrow I'd say something completely different. :lol:

I have mine for all intents and purposes.

It has a master pedalboard (shared to all feed), split to the rack/Space Echo to three amps.

It is flat out ridiculous and wouldn't be usable live, but cripples who don't leave the house...don't care.

My pedalboard costs approximately 191 Metal Zones.

The current dream I'm chasing:

Tuner
Dunlop FFM3
{phaser}
{super fuzz of some sort}
{something a little more out there - oscillating weirdness? something glitchy like a damn robot? still in research phase here}
Way Huge Red Llama
{some kind of octave up pitchshifter - POG, super shifter, idfk?}
{as yet undetermined EQ}
Esterly Vox Wah Clone
Earthquaker Depths
{Boss DD-7}
{DMB Lunar Echo}
{second eq?}
Earthquaker Levitation
{one more reverb}

(edited to add four more pedals I thought of on the way to work because hey, a man can dream, can't he?) Bracketed pedals are not currently in my possession.
This is a very impressive collection of Roto Toms. That's 21 Roto Toms in all. That is only $33.00 a Roto Tom.

I'm pretty happy with mine, but there are a few things I'd change/add.

Korg Pitchblack (I'd change it to a TC Electronics tuner)
SHO clone
Morley Maverick (maybe swap with a Japanese Girl)
Shoe Pedals Robert Fuzz
(I'd like to put a fuzzface type on my board here)
Hyperion (Want to swap this out)
INFANEM DN (Not really digging this right now, might look at other options or ideas on how to use it)
Op Amp Big Muff (Love it, keeping it)
Cemaphore trem clone
Small Stone (want to also add a flange at some point)
Copilot FX Gyroscope (I really like it I just wish there was a mix knob)
Dr. Scientist ILFDD.

Would love more modulation, maybe add a octave effect. Desperately need reverb.

I'm really close to perfect with my rig, but I mean, if I had a giant board.

Superfuzz
Jerms Mk1 Tonebender* **
Big Box Pog*
DIY'd Klon
Jerms Tone Knob Rat (or I would build one with mojo components)* **
WIIO
Demo Tape Fuzz* **
Super Duper 2-in-1 -
Volume Pedal (use a Boss, would take a Goodrich!)
PitchFactor
Superego*
Warped Vinyl*
DMM*
RM-1N* **
Blue Sky
TimeLine
DL4, for looping
And why the fuck not, midi system to make it all easy for me. Set up by my personal tech so I don't have to spend time on it! (Well this is supposed to be perfect, right?)

*Means I don't own this
**Means I don't know exactly in the chain where this would go
-Means I have this, but no room

But yeah, that board would keep me busy for a while!

Empress Compressor (always on)*
Pitchfactor*
Fuzz pedal (few things I wanna try before settling which)
Single bypass looper with Empress ParaEQ* > '86 RAT in loop (the crunch channel, basically)
A/DA Flanger clone
Boss HF-2
EAR AD4096*
Boss RV-2 (always on)
BBE Sonic Stomp (always on)

(then to RE201 to JC120 :D)

basically i'd just need the * peds plus the right board/cabling etc but that's still hella 'spenno so i'm not rushed in the slightest.

mine already is perfect for me, although it would be nice is the ghost that haunts my ibanez ddl was more Caspar and less Peeves. If I could buy anything though, I'd commission Brian to build me a fuck od tape echo, using something like a Maestro Sireko and building in a fuck circuit before and after it, in a sleek black case. External footswitch for crackle and bypass.

Worst of all lately I've been getting buy with a Badascan as the always on and just using a Pitchblack.

In an ideal situation, though, it's Singing Tree > PDF-1> DOS fuzz > Tuner... and I have all of those already.
