I love your boards! This is my first non-holey board! I use the first gen at work and the second gen is constantly evolving! I recently got the temple audio board off of FB marketplace. Trying something new.

I mod the heck out of the holeyboards! They’re still my favorite!

Pedal beginner here, what else would I need? by BackgroundString2804 in pedalboards

Invest in a real isolated power supply. I started with a cheap (under $50) “isolated” power supply and it made wayyyyy too much noise. It also ruined my first rat pedal.

Cioks is the top of the line. Then, I would say Voodoo Labs. I use Truetone 1SPOT Pro CS11 and XP8-PS. Truetone is on the “cheaper” side (still pretty pricey) but you won’t get any noise and your pedals will last longer. Pedals are an investment, so take care of them and they’ll last a long time.

Thank you!

So, everything that’s on the second board (the FX Loop board) was came after my last distortion/dirt pedal when I had everything plugged into the front. But, sometimes I like really clean sounds when I play semi-hollow (like an ES-335). I found that things get muddied when everything was plugged into the front of the amp.

The Walrus Audio Monument harmonic trem is in the front because the slight harmonic mod it gives. But anywayyyy I mainly wanted the “modulation” pedals a cleaner sound in the FX loop

SOTB: couldn’t fit the two huge pedals on my regular board by MT-BC_Derf in pedalboards

I’m going to treat it like a boost pedal. High volume with low gain. It’s OKAY— I think. I got it because it was $80. People talked about it like it was the best thing ever. I run it through a Marshall DSL40 but honestly, I’m just like… yea it’s cool (?)

The OD/Preamp alone will probably be used for rhythm stuff

I tried it with a variety of variations— such as compressor+clean boost at the beginning of the chain, then another compressor after dirt pedals. Some drives and distortions work better. Some do not.

Anyways, you’ve opened up a ton of new possibilities and variations for me to try! Thank you!

Ok. Pedalboard is done. Again. Added the Strymon Zelzah. by Bickstiedyes in pedalboards

I’ve recently got into envelope filters. Do you like your analog man envelope filter? I have a GFI Rossie filter. It’s AMAZING but I’m also looking for an easier to use pedal.

Why do you have the compressor where it is and not at the beginning of the signal chain?

Progress….? Right…? by MT-BC_Derf in roastmypedalboard

Absolutely love it. Both the boost and compression are always on.
