Pedalboard Or Spaceship?

How much is too much? Is there such a thing as too much when it comes to a pedalboard? If there is (there isn’t) then this beast is right at the line. I built this hoss on a custom 30” x 16” flat board with a Fix Pedalboards hinged bridge and the pedal selection is up there with the best I’ve sever seen. So many versatile drive options, three vastly different delays, two epic reverbs, any modulation you may need, and an even an easy to access looper. This board truly has it all!

The entire board is controlled via the always awesome RJM PBC/6x and powered by a Cioks DC7, 8, and 4 which I was conveniently able to fit under the hinged bridge for maximum space efficiency. I/Os are all handled using a Rockboard Mod 2 which allows for super convenient guitar input, IEC power through, and stereo outs.

The signal chain:

• In PBC6/x

  • Chase Bliss Bliss Factory

  • Empress Compressor MKII

  • Electro Harmonix HOG 2

  • Spruce Effects The Gale

  • Bondi Sick As MK3

  • Electronic Audio Experiments Limelight v2

  • Horrothia Teeth

  • Revv G3 Distortion

  • Chase Bliss Blooper

  • Hotone Volume

  • GFI Synesthesia

• Red Panda Raster 2

• Strymon Volante

• Meris Polymoon

• Neunaber Illumine

• Strymon Nightsky

• Pigtronix Infinity Looper 2

Both expression and volume are handled by a pair of Hotone Ampero Press Volume/Exp pedals with expression being handled via midi and the PBC/6x. If I’m being honest, I’m not a fan of the Hotone logo on these but they are super space efficient and have a way better foot feel than the very popular Dunlop DVP4. If you can get past the aesthetics of them these are a great compact option.

Bonus feature for the looper: I included a two button aux for control over the octave and once/stutter effects of the looper which makes for some great fun.

I definitely spent a ton of time programming this one because I kept getting distracted by the myriad of epic sounds that were so easily had with it.

Have questions about any of the pedals used? Want to get a setup of your own going? Shoot me an email or DM me on Instagram and I’m happy to chat.
