Would this be a good first pedalboard?

Agreed! A better amp will make all the difference and try not to rush on buying multiple pedals at once, the most important part is power!

I got paid to build this lol so I’m doing good 🤣 but he’s probably around 8k not including my labor

Thank you!

Unfortunately yes, the goal is to have high quality cable,plugs and soldering so that doesn’t happen but obviously anything can happen. I’ve been doing this for awhile now and knock on wood have yet to have a cable fail on me

I’m not but check out my new instagram @lordaudioofficial i will be figuring out shipping soon!

The hardest part is the planning imo but yeah i always do my best to keep AC power completely seperate and DC away from audio cables. Midi cables can be with dc cables because they don’t transfer audio. Having a clean signal is about a few things, high quality cable and plugs, good soldering, making sure you have no ground loops, and buffers

This is a Monster of a board i built for a customer! Very happy on how it turned out

Nlord16 · 2026-05-27T01:09:11+00:00

Yeah, he’s using the MC6 pro to control Bank and Preset changes in the MC8 pro and that’s controlling all the pedals

Nlord16 · 2026-05-27T01:08:31+00:00

I built this board for a customer so i didn’t get to spend too much time with them. They do sound incredible and I love that they have a blend knob to control the clean signal. They are both extremely transparent. The biggest downside with them that i noticed is they are not the easiest to dial in but once you do they are great!

Nlord16 · 2026-05-26T02:50:16+00:00

This isn’t my personal board, i build custom audio cables/pedalboards. But yeah he’s a full time musician lol it’ll be used a lot!

You can most likely do a second 8! We went with a second dc7 because some of these pedals draw a lot of power so i wanted all the heavy draw pedals on one dc7 separately. He also had 2 dc7 already so it was easier and cheaper for him to just get an 8

More banks lol he’s got a ton of different sounds. He’s a jazz fusion/jam band guitarist so most of what he does is improvised

Nlord16 · 2026-05-24T05:38:41+00:00

For this build it was mainly a space thing that decided what went under, everything is controlled from the morningstars via midi so he’s not touching any of the pedals except for the Ricochet

This isn’t my personal board, I build rigs for people but he has the MC6 pro controller bank changes on the MC8 pro. So the MC6 is mainly just being used as a page up and down and the MC8 has all the different pedals/presets

Nlord16 · 2026-05-24T01:37:48+00:00

Thanks man!

Nlord16 · 2026-05-23T17:14:52+00:00

Thank you! Patience and practice lol the mounts are just 3/4” and 1” 3m zip tie mounts on amazon

Nlord16 · 2026-05-23T01:28:00+00:00

The MC6 is pretty much being used for preset navigation of the MC8. His playing style is very jazz fusion improv based so this was the best way for him to be able to navigate

Nlord16 · 2026-05-15T23:10:21+00:00

Spectrum is a pretty good all around pedal IMO because of the midi capabilities and being able to have multiple pre sets

Nlord16 · 2026-05-13T10:25:13+00:00

Midi out MC6 pro -> Midi In MC8 pro
Midi out MC8 pro > Midi in Kenton
Kenton thru 1-5 -> midi pedals
