You may have 99 problems but pedals ain't one of them.

You have three separate boards? That is cool. Swoooooon. I plan to have two boards, a Pedaltrain Jr size for gigging Pedaltrain Pro size for home.

Yah It's how I "justify" having as much as I do.. Living in Perth typically means once you have a piece of gear you're stuck with it, unless you want to take a massive hit on shipping overseas. I do find a use / interesting sound or combination out of most everything fairly regularly though. Sometimes the best investment in your music that you can make is a night off, some beers and a couple of hours in front of your pedals.

The smallest board is for solo shows, which are kept pretty dry / clean sound-wise.

The middle one is for band shows; shoegaze / ambient / post-rock / drone sorta stuff. The Freeze will probably move to the solo board and be replaced with a Superego (GASSSSS). Thinking of putting my old Boss ME-30 in the effects loop of it.

The large board is for jams, writing sessions, recording, tweaking and experimentation. That said, when doing so I normally have all three boards in one giant TONE-SUCKING™ chain.

What I find a ball-ache with multiple boards is the cost of power supplies. I really wish they didn't cost so much. To finish my boards I'm going to end up paying the same amount I'd pay for a fantastic guitar just for power supplies, cables, and boards. I know it's got to be done, but it's the only part of building a pedalboard I hate.

What patch cables do you use? Any recommendations?

You're not wrong re power supplies, boards, accessories, dual lock, cable and all that stuff. I try not to think about it. I'm trying to make my upcoming purchase of a Superego my last pedal for a month or two while I save up for a Tele or Jaguar / Jazzmaster..

Re patch cables, you may be able to see I have a bunch of Lava mini ELC with Hi-Con plugs on there, but I also use the black plasticy no-name ones that Prymaxe and the like send with their pedals. Whatever fits the space / pedal I'm trying to use. Honestly I've never been able to tell any tonal difference, plus I have that much stuff running usually, at loud volumes, and it all still sounds great. I do try to use the Lavas where possible.

For guitar to board and board to amp I use Dimarzio cables, apparently they're not bad and they seem hard-wearing. Also they never tangle which is a plus. I do sometimes think about getting a coily cable but only for indulgent aesthetics.

If anyone is wondering, I always play with a Godin SD (HH/S/HH) and my amp is a Hot Rod Deluxe III.

Wired and rewired. Waiting on three things. A ssbs double from Brian to replace the Ventures duo (don't worry, they still have their planned use) and a the Multiwave Distortion will be replaced by the SB2 BEF when it's available. Might also add a Polytune mini again since I have the space.

ive sold a bunch of shit that i couldnt justify keeping since im not actively playing in a band at the moment. This is what im rocking right now.




I'll be looking for a fuzz like the Team Awesome! and some kind of modulation here one day soon. Maybe like a particle delay for some fucked up sounds.

"2" on the pharoah/fuck combo, and the board as a whole looks great, really classy.

Lol. For a while I thought I'd gotten over wanting one, but nope, in the past couple days GAS has come back hard. Need some damn pepto bismol this shit is acting up.
