I haven't posted much lately, but I have been keeping busy. New guitar build is nearing completion of the "Parts Collection" stage, and construction should start soon. To occupy myself between builds, I've developed another bad habit: Pedals......
Much like most bad habits, it started with, "I'll just try it once". Then, "A second one won't hurt". Soon it was, "Oh what the hell!". I now have 10.......
Problem is, the little oak pedalboard I built, is nowhere near, even being close, to being able to handle things as they stand. Because of that, I once again had wires messily strewn about the floor in my little corner of the living room. What's a man to do?
Here's my latest project: Pedalboard Mk II.
I broke down and bought a T-Rex board, mainly because I liked the tiered, bi-level, construction.
Because it has a solid front edge, I was able to install a switched inlet.
The inlet allowed me to install an on-board power supply.
Signal chain is like this:
Electro Harmonix "Hum Debugger", (because of all the EMF noise in my house),
Korg "Pitch Black" tuner,
Electro Harmonix "Tone Corset" compressor,
Electro Harmonix "Pitch Fork" pitch shifter,
Line 6 "M5 Stompbox Modeler",
TC Electronic "Mini Cororna" chorus,
TC Electronic "Hall of Fame II" reverb,
Way Huge "Saucy Box" OD,
TC Electronic "Ditto Stereo Looper",
Boss "NS-2" noise gate.
I grounded the top plate to act as sort of a half-assed shield between the pedals and the PS. (It apparently does some good, because the only noise I hear is when the OD is engaged, and I expected that.) Pedals are held in place with 3M "Dual Lock", and connected with D'Addario Planet Waves patch cables. Underneath, warts are mounted with double-stick, PS with Dual Lock, and wiring is held in place with self adhesive pads and zip ties. PS is a Donner "DP-2", second wart is from EHX to supply 7.5vac to the Hum Debugger.
