Guitar equipment rambling 

Finished my pedalboard yesterday, all wired up in a way that makes me happy and everything! I have to get some pedalboard tape, I prefer hook and loop but it's hard to find unless I do Amazon... Would rather use some other site but ehhhnh

Anyways, I'm excited! Since learning to push my clean signal, I've fallen in love with my amp all over again

It's been a few years in the making... I think I first started building it in 2014. It was the hear I discovered the miracle of ✨Financing✨

Which was both the best and the worst thing that could happen lol. Best because suddenly, I was free to pick out the gear I wanted, without having to compromise... And worst because suddenly I was free to pick out the gear I without having to compromise!

Anyway, I've been adding to it for a while.

It's a big chungus, but not the kind of board you might see someone like Kevin Shields use haha. I'm the kind of person that gives a lot of thought to versatility, and with a bit of a dislike to redundancy. I doooo have 2 reverbs though, lol, but they serve diff functions, so, it's totally, like, fine!!!!!

I use a Pedaltrain Novo 24, with 2 cheap 8- "isolated" -out supplies (Donner).

My guitar is a Godin Session Custom with onboard Fishman Tripleplay wireless midi system

This is the front end of my amp:

SO!

I'm running from my guitar into my Boss TU-3 tuner, which is also acting as a buffer. It then goes into my TC Electronic Sentry noise gate, which has the gain effects in its own loop:
fuzz first: Lurch Audio Sorghum,
heavy overdrive: Ellman Tone White Fox,
light overdrive: Earthquaker Devices Plumes
Boost: Moog MF Boost

It then runs out of that loop into a Walrus Audio Julia chorus, which then goes into the amp

Guitar equipment rambling 

After that, it's pretty straightforward, no fancy loops

I go into another buffer (Bona Fide from TC), MF Ring, MF Flange, into an Outlaw Dumbleweed overdrive I'm using as an additional amp voice, into an MF Trem, into Black Country Customs Secret Path reverb. It's mono in, stereo out, which is why I put it before delay

Guitar equipment rambling 

It goes stereo in into my Source Audio Nemesis delay, which goes stereo out into reverb 2, a Digitech Supernatural... Which I should get fixed/modded/replaced tbh. Digitech isn't fixing them anymore it seemed like, but out of the 6 or so settings, I have like 3 that work lol. Anyways, it goes into the FX Return of my Blackstar HT-20 studio, and the other output into the front end of an HT-1 Metal head I have

Thinking of just using a power amp or second HT-20

Guitar equipment rambling 

But yeah! I run both amps into my stereo cab, a yamaha THRC 2x12

And that's my rig!

Guitar equipment rambling 

Oh, one last thing, I run 3 expression outs, one for dialling more/less Black Country Customs reverb, and the boss 2 out expression for the MF Trem speed, and MF Ring frequency

I like to think I'm not wanting for anything new! That this is going to be my board for a number of years. I'll be able to focus on other things, and just concentrating on making music for a while haha
