I'm in the process of setting mine up, as I've never had a proper board. Just kind of laying things out to maximize the space limitations.

Ok. I know we have guitarists here, maybe no pedal boards. Anyway, mine is finished.

Looks good,I like it. Do you have any trouble using the pedals while playing (that are three deep, third row back) ? Seems like a lot step over while drinking beer. :D
 
The small gray box in lower right is a homemade A/B with a controllable boost I can adjust on the fly with my foot. I play a Fender Strat Eric Clapton Blackie as well that has a built in boost. I play my strat and my electric violin through this board into my '83 Fender Princeton Reverb II when I'm playing clubs with my band. Vox Wah and the Earth Drive are all I really use on the strat. EQ, Phaser, Earth Drive, and Wah on violin as well.....

This set-up I use for when I'm playing solo. It's basically set-up so I can create multiple backing loops to create my own trios and quartets using the violin and guitar as both percussion, rhythm, and melodic instruments.

It is a bit crowded, but most of the stuff on the higher level is either on or off for my purposes. I help a friend out occasionally with some stuff he licenses for video games, trailers, score work so the need to switch a pedal on or off midway through a song isn't of prime importance right now.

Very nice. I had my ge-7 modded by JHS pedals (as well as the Ds-1 and TR-2) Gives much better control over eq.

"We replace the low quality op amps with high quality low noise chips as well as change vital capacitors that will bring a fullness and depth that wasn’t there before. The ranges of the sliders are also increased for more available tones to work with. You will have at your feet the ability to make your sound more pristine, focused or even lo-fi if needed. "


Love that Blackie strat! I've been considering buying a nice strat because, well.......sometimes you just need the tone of a strat. Right now I'm playing on Les Pauls. lespaul.jpgI have a strat, but it is a squier strat (my first guitar ....about 16 years old). A nice American strat is a wonderful thing.

Not so much a pedal board but I have a Korg multy fx pedal, a digitech deathmetal pedal (SICK DISTORTION) , a WahWah and the pedal that came with my marshall amp, nothing much
 
Just the guitar though a cranked Marshall is all I need, my Marshall JCM800 has had a LOT of work done. No pedal board for me, just and tuner and a THD Hot plate, it helps keeps the neighbors from yelling. Back in the day, I am an 80's child, I had the massive pedal board. As I grew I decided that I didn't want or need all the different flavors. A few years ago I pull the pedals and some guitars and had a huge gear sale and I made some good coin on all that old stuff. The only pedal I didn't sell was my 82 TS9, it was the first pedal I bought and will mot likely not leave the family.
 
I wasn't expecting this thread when I started browsing this forum. I don't have a great photo of my pedalboard as of late. This is the best I can do. Here are a couple of my guitars. I usually only bring two to church, and the 6118T and Strat were the winners on that day.

I also was not expecting to see this thread haha. I have an EB vpjr that's not on the board as well

Warning: :eek: If Guitars aren't addictive enough, the search for the holy grail of guitar sounds can have you pedaling your way into a rack. :eek: :D
IMHO Finding/collecting guitar voices can be a hobby in itself. From woods, strings, pick ups, amps, effects.

All I use is a special made 63 Fender Strat through a 63 Vibroverb. I also have a few Paul Reed Smith's Custom 24's, second and third year issues. I use those through Fender Twin Reverb. My only effect I truly like is the MXR Phase 90 Van Halen model. I have always had an attraction towards the gear he used because I love his sound.
