What are you using to connect the pedals? I've been making a small board and I want to tidy it up and get the pedals closer. I want it this size so it will fit into my guitar stuff tool box.

Also having the power inputs on the MXR pedals at the side make it a real hassle too. Are there any daisy chains with longer gaps between connectors or ones with right angled connectors?

You can get right angled daisy chains handy enough. I think I got one with really long gaps and right angles off thomann.

How would you start searching for such a thing?

Also, are these any good? Had one years ago and it was crap.

Unless you're using the same brand, like say boss them things are generally a bad idea as they put a lot strain on the pedal's jacks. There are offset ones that are supposedly not so bad but I wouldn't trust them.

Here's the daisy chain yokes.

and here's an example of the offset ones connectors:

Done a bit of a clearout lately. Pretty pleased with this.

Here's the latest incarnation of my pedals for bass in Zafaranchos.

Korg Pitchblack tuner > DIY Dirt Section of the Box of Rock > Modded Russian Big Muff > Sansamp VT Bass

The BOR and VTBass are always on so they don't need to be switched easily. Really happy with this set up now.

I got a line 6 roto machine the other day. First thing I've bought in a long time. It's a rotary speaker simulator.

My pedal board is basically

BOSS TU2 tuner
MARSHALL bluesbreaker 2 (set to clean boost)
BOSS TR2 tremolo or the Line 6 roto machine
BOSS DD6 digital delay
and the marshall footswitch for clean to overdrive into a Marshall JCM 800 4211 (1989 model)

and no I don't have a camera.

Was the Roto Machine expensive?

How does it sound?

 

[Kermit McDermott]

I paid €89 for it but I'm sure you could get it cheaper online.
I really like it so far, I love those wobbley sounds like tremolo, rhodes piano.
There are better rotary simulators out there, but you pay well for them, The Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere is €498.00 on Thomann

i bought a daisy chain/adaptor effort like this;

http://cgi.ebay.com/GUITAR-EFFECT-P...yZ101975QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

its rated to deliver a higher current, so its less likely to die/make pedals sound crap. would well recomend it - power 6 pedals off it including a current hungry delay, flanger and trem..dosnt even heat up!

 

[ernesto]

mine lasted a year, at most. fell apart after that

where all the connections are just started unravelling. never stretched or strained it either (wha!) . just didnt last basic wear and tear. fux ahe!

 

[JohnnyRaz]

bollox, i rescind my recomendation then, obviously varying (at best) quality

 

[mel gibson]

mines a bit all over the joint at the moment

but basically this

without the loop junky (now marks) the envelope filter and the vibe

but now with this

bit of a bump for this thread:

Latest incarnation of my pedalboard (sic) for a new band:

Korg Pitchblack>modded Russian Big Muff>French Toast>modded Russian Smallstone>modded Phase 90>DD3>VTBass

This runs into a trace elliot pa250 power amp and homemade 1x15 with some 800 watt eminence speaker. Basswise it's between the Squier Clasic Vibe Jazz or 2001 American standard Fender Jazz

 

[JohnnyRaz]

from right to left - JBT fuzz clone (with clipping diode swith mod), supercharged ross distortion clone, EA tremelo, slap echo, delay, flager.
modded squier or a gretsch country man knockoff into whatever amp comes to hand..

 

[Kermit McDermott]

Have a look at these http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=860824 They must spend a fortune on pedals.

I was thinking about it, and i came to this conclusion:

mel, why dont you just give me your reverb pedal? like just give it to me.

Ann I found an old (plate on springs ) reverb tank in my dad's house last time I was up. It looks functional ie there's nothing broken but I'm not sure if you need a specific amp/preamp of some sort to drive it. I think it came out of a Randal amp I owned at one point in life..
