Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!

I bought the Micro Synth off here after years of um-ing and ah-ing. Decided to get one pedal to do the synth thing rather than 3 or 4, especially for the soul band I play where I only use it for 1 or 2 songs, and the octave is nice to have for the extra girth every now and again.

My most recent build - I gave in and got a C4 Synth. Using the Caiman Tail Loop to change patches and switch presets on the C4 via a Disaster Area Micro Ghost (mounted underneath).

 

Very Heavy weight board Huw! I love it 😍

OG 3Leaf Octabvre for the win! Is that a standard size board or did you build your own? I'm getting a Noble later this year and it seems to make planning a board really awkward.

I have posted this before but it’s a Pedal train classic jr

As Bunion mentioned, it’s a pedaltrain jr - one that’s been pushed to the limit! It’s pretty heavy and almost every bit of it is being used. 
 

The Noble is a bit awkward when it comes to taking up space, but it’s also just *so* good. I use it to power the Caiman, but I suppose it could always go off the board if you weren’t using it for power.

Latest incarnation of my wee board. The volume pedal has gone, in its place I've got a home-brewed buffered mute footswitch with tuner output. The red 'mute' LED flashes for better visibility.

Clearly visible are the bike-chain fixings I'm using now instead of velcro. Everything feels much more secure now.

Not sure how long the warning sticker will last. I was having a bad day when I put it on there :lol:

Most recent incarnation of my pedal board, for my 6 string 30" scale Harley Benton GuitarBass (Bass VI type instrument, strung with gauge .080 - .060 - .045 - .034 - .026 - .018 (plain string) D'Addario XL nickle plated roundwound hex steel core strings, tuned in G standard tuning, 3 half steps above regular E standard tuning) :

Pedal-Board-160522-small-Sharpen-Final-6

 

 

For those interested the whole signal chain for the above setup, and some elaboration on how I use the different pedals, can be found in the "About" section of my profile here on the forum : https://www.basschat.co.uk/profile/50585-baloney-balderdash/

I've learned that mini pedals can be annoying as there's no standard placement for the connections - so they often don't align and squeeze in closely together. Much bigger pedals with top mounted connections don't actually take up much more room on a board like this e.g. an Aguilar Grape Phaser would probably fit in that Phase 95 slot.

I may have asked this before, but what's the Homer pedal? B3K clone?

It's basically a Tubescreamer (with volume, gain, tone controls) with added Symmetrical/Asymmetrical clipping switch, and Bass boost switch https://gojira.co.uk/product/gojira808/

 

I'm in two minds whether I sell it as I also have a One Control Hookers Green that sounds similar enough and is smaller (but doesn't have the variety of tones - or Homer's face!)

It's new to me so I need to spend a while with it, first impressions are it's great value and small size (and there isn't a huge choice in mini sized envelope filter pedals) and I like some of the sounds it makes, but I wish it has a volume control  - that's partly why I've moved my compressor to the end of chain.

My current board. I am fairly happy with it, although I might have to get into the whole midi thing in order to use 2 switches and an expression pedal with the HX Stomp to get the most out of it. The metal box bottom right is a kit built Big Muff.

I haven’t finished connecting all the cables up but have done a rearrange on my new (home made) board to fit the GX-100 in. I will lose the separate tuner at some point. Pleased with it so far but may swap the GX to the lower tier.

Never had a full working board till today and I've been collecting these things for years, so got a couple new ones and threw them all together.

That's a small bu high quality collection! the B:Assmaster is a beast! And the Deep Impact and Cali76 are highly recommended.

Some shorter mini pedals are better mounted sideways I've found, as you can often fit two into less space that way.

Great for a low cost pedal. It isn’t as transparent as the spectracomp I have but works really well. Very pleased with it.

Any idea what it's based on and what the half pint/full pint switch actually does?
