have you tried that? that must be amazing

[D.o.S.]

I read this thread and then realized I've become much more of a 'good amps>good pedals' person than I thought.

Good amps make bad pedals sound better. Sort of like musical social services.

Having said that, a nice fat Ge fuzz into a sweet vocal wah into an Echoplex. I suppose you could mount them on a board if you wanted to.

NO BUT I WANT TO BADLY

[popvulture]

Lately I've been thinking that my perfect pedalboard would be a small one... like 5-6 pedals max.

No fucking idea how to get a perfect board that small, but it'd be so glorious to have it be intentional but flexible, easy to carry and minimal setup voodoo.

UGH.

[frigid midget]

The only reason I'm not rocking a small board with 6 peds, is that I can't restrain myself, and refuse to make tough decisions

It'd make a lot of sense for me though. Cheaper, easier to carry around and to power, less patch cables or other stuff that can break, etc...

[lost in music]

My perfect pedal board would have a giant swimming pool built into it and you'd have to stick your feet into scuba flippers to bypass the pedals. The pool would have a big amp at the bottom of it and you could just stand there on the edge of the pool playing and tripping out to the sound waves in the water.

[popvulture]

Yeah I can't restrain myself either, but whenever I get my pedalboard all loaded up with a large amount of pedals, I always think "this is ridiculous."

Trying to narrow it down to 1 OD > 1, maybe 2 fuzzes (could possibly get rid of OD if so), Warped Vinyl MKII, Delay (haven't decided, but prob Dispatch Master, as it'd allow for delay and/or enormous verb, so kind of a cheat), Super Spring Theory, Boss TR-2.

I'd also like to have one weirdo pedal on there, like a Count to 5. But fuck, that's already at 7. So maybe 8 including a tuner is as low as I can go without getting bored... but see, I still wanna try to go lower. Feel like it'd make me a better player.

So yep, my perfect pedalboard is one I don't have to rely on as much, but I don't know how to get there. The Mobius strip of GAS woes.

I kinda feel like I have everything I need to put this together,
I did the megaboard thing about 3 years ago, about 25 pedals bunches of options for in and out, all that
It was fun,
I guess from what I own now I would do
Tone Reaper-Pitchfactor-Dirge Comp-Groove Regulator-RV5-Pharaoh-Dirty bomb-Jero Feedback loop he built me (Running my whole -2 board up on a stand) -EchoBox-DBA IOD-Dirge Delay-Source Poly Filter-Volume-Supernatural-Echolution2-Timebender- Slicer Some type of Stereo looper maybe my NS2 because this is now looking stupid loud

I think all I really would have to buy is a good stereo looper and I want the echolution preset switch
A third verb may be cool (I have the behringer so I could use that)

perfect board for me would have to contain all of this, be completely plug and play friendly (Minus the boss board as a feedback monster thing)
Travel well and If we are sharing hopes and dreams be water and spill proof with the cover on,

Hm. My board hasn't really changed in 8+ months which shatters the old record. Took 3 years of trading in/up to get here:
'66 Fuzzrite > Harmonic Percolator > phase-O-matic deluxe > '94 Deja Vibe > Resonator > '78 DMM > '82 PolyFlange > LoFi Loop Junky

But I feel like my *perfect* pedal board should have a Paradox TZF, Tonebender Pro mk II, and another HP-1 on it.

My ideal board is *almost there*. After years of playing with various devices, I've come to this configuration as the ideal setup: (not particularly in order)

FX Loop:
Eventide ModFactor
Eventide TimeFactor
Eventide PitchFactor
Eventide Space
Red Panda Particle
MTLASM Count to Five

Guitar to Amp:
Pigtronix Gatekeeper
Pigtronix Philosopher King
Spaceman WOW Signal
Zvex Fuzz Factory 7

...and I'm deciding whether I want to include a POG2 and Super Seek Wah... or with everything else it would be overlap. Still don't know what I want to do about a looper, it would be a 'nice to have' but not necessarily a necessity.

[The Mad Owl]

I definitely relate to the "5-6 pedals" ideal.

I'm moving away from harsh noise right now in my playing... so I can probably pull it off.

Ideally I'd like to be able to fit everything onto a PTJR... with a separate noise board as the need arises.

I MIGHT be able to get away with:

Tuner
OD
Fuzz
Feedback Loop (for separate board)
Delay
Delay

I feel like I COULD pull that off... now if only I had the courage to do it.

That is one crazy expensive board.
