New Pedalboard Project

[taylornutt]

I currently have an older Pedaltrain Pro that I use at home.



I recently picked up a used Pedaltrain Novo 24 for $50 with the older style case. The case needs a little TLC on one corner.

This board has plenty of space but definitely smaller than my home board.



Here is my initial plan.(always subject to change of course)

I want to use the MultiSwitch plus to control the Strymon Iridium and Flint V2 for 3 amp presets and everything else normal.


My Christmas bonus helped me pick up my first pedal, the Strymon Iridium. I have to say I am pretty impressed with the Iridium so far. I have dialed in a setting just like my 68 Vibrolux Reverb and I am working on dialing in a Vox amp sound right now.



Not sure what pedal will be next so stay tuned.

What's the plan with the 2 muffs?

I like the look of that. I’d like to try a Deco one day, looks like a fun pedal. One thing I’d say is that the 1981 sounds pretty awesome boosted by a Tubescreamer type pedal for leads or heavier riffing. I have an SD-1 into mine and I think it sounds great. Maybe switch that in for one of the fuzz pedals?

I currently run a Made by Mike Civil War Muff that I love. The Green Muff is pretty close to the Civil War and I had been wanting to try an Op-Amp Muff.

I originally had the Black Russian along side the Civil War but they are very close to one another in terms of sound.

If I can pick them up used I might put them both on there but I might just use one. I want to keep trying different pedals on this board vs what is on the current pedalboard.

I will keep that in mind. I have a MBM Saltbreaker for a boost right now but don't know what I will use on the new board.

I snagged my second pedal for my new pedal board.

I found a used BOSS TU-2 tuner at the local guitar shop for $50.

It's the same tuner I have on my other board. It's always been reliable for me.

I am hoping to snag more used pedal deals going forward as I build out the board.

I need to order the Strymon MultiSwitch plus so I can dial in my amp presets on the Strymon Iridium. I have not seen that one used yet.

I need to order new Velcro.

Finally starting to move on this project a bit.

I ordered the Hook and loop for the Novo 24.

I put the Strymon Iridium and BOSS TU-2 on the board and borrowed the EHX Glove and MBM Civil War Muff from my home board.

My next goals are reverb and power supply. I am actually looking at the new Strymon Cloudburst but still would consider the Flint if I find a good deal.

I want to try the Fender LVL 12 power supply, but they are currently out of stock. I saw images where people mounted them using Strymon Zuma brackets since they are similar dimension. Fender doesn't provide mounting brackets because they want you buy their pedalboards that come with mounting hardware. The board is a little noisy right now without a proper power supply.

Loving the purple color coordination that’s going on. This thread makes me want to dig out my pedalboard and amp and plug in to something that’s not in a DAW

[taylornutt]

My daughter is a fan of purple and I wanted it look a little different from my home board.

I actually want to try to build my own patch cables so I can make them custom lengths. It's always fun to learn a new skill.

Looking good, dig the purple.
