Let me introduce my new pedalboard!
This toy was born from a dual need:
- Sound
- Practicality
Here’s the signal chain, between guitar and amp:
- Korg Pitchblack Tuner
- Dunlop Cry Baby Wah
- Boss CS3 Compressor
- T-rex Twin Boost Booster
- Masotti OD Box Overdrive
- Boss TR2 Tremolo
In the send and return loop
- TC Electronic Nova Delay
- Digitech Hardwire CR7 Chorus
All powered by the T-rex Fuel Tank.
In addition, there’s also the Engl Z5 footswitch to control the 4 channels of the head, and a power strip to power any other transformers (for pedals with power different from 9V or 12V).
The greatest convenience is this: everything exits with a single cable, or better yet, a snake cable containing
- General power cable
- Engl Z5 cable
- 3 signal cables: input, send and return.
This allows me to open the case, connect everything to the amp and…play!!
A special mention goes to the case itself, a Rockcase 80x50, whose initial quality was very questionable: as soon as it arrived, the surface where the pedals would be placed sank about a centimeter! So with the phenomenal help of my father, we designed and built from scratch the structure in fir plywood.
Now it’s solid as concrete, with almost no increase in weight!
