Building A New Pedalboard

Post by stilwel »

It's a Christmas miracle! My PT-Pro arrived early.

Planned Signal Path:
Mojo Vibe
Fender Blender
Mastotron
Chunky Cheese
Fuzz Factory
M5 w/Exp pedal (For Wah and pre-fx)
Vox Valve-Tone
DM4
Whammy
Timeline
M9 (post fx)

Changes to original plan: I bumped the Tweak Fuzz and thew the M9 in there instead.

Here's where I'm currently heading as far as layout of the pedals. My only gripe is that I would prefer to have the Timeline down in the first row for easy access to the TAP button, but I haven't found a layout that works like that yet.

They do the job, don't take up a lot of space and are cheap.

I'm not even in a band right now. I'm just putting this together to use for home recording.

I was in a U2 Tribute band for a long time. For gigging I typically run a rack-based rig as I need a lot of presets based around songs.
Rack gear and a MIDI rig make more sense for me live, but for at-home recording I like to work fast and pedals get the job done.

I'll be using the M5 basically as a programmable wah pedal.

The M9 is last in the chain and will be used for reverbs, modulation and the Looper.

Yep, it's the limited edition 20th Anniversary Chrome Whammy.
