First i found a case for an old power tool.  Then I screwed 4 rubber door stops to the underside of a shelf from one of Lady Ann's kitchen cabinets. (hopefully she won't notice it's missing).  Then I stuck my pedals to the board with heavy duty velcro. There is room for another 2 or 3 pedals, hope Lady Ann is taking note. Et voila:  The board has to come out of the case to use it but it does the trick. One thing that really disappoints me though is it does not improve my playing an iota. Looks cool though. imho. |

Excellent job Les! Board looks great. You're about 1 delay and a wah pedal away from blues nirvana. Check out the Budda wah for a killer vox voice kind of wah. It's true bypass as well. The wah is one of those pedals that suck tone if you can't bypass the circuitry. If you're found out by Lady Ann you can tell her quite honestly that it's one of those hardships she must endure if she's to be married to a bluesman.  |

Yes, I've left enough space on the right hand side for a wah. Not sure about a delay but still fancy the EP booster or something similar. There is a small company here doing hand made pedals who have a booster they feel compares well withe EP or they will build me a clone of the EP for about half the price of the original. Shame I only have 1 birthday a year! I'm pretty sure Lady Ann would say she has more than that to endure. :-) |

Very nice Les! I don't have enough pedals to make or buy a board, but maybe I'll get into pedals someday. I'm really enjoying playing around with the controls of my Vox DA5, so maybe it's a gateway to pedal GAS!

Hey Les..Have you ever tried a Vibe? You can do some really cool stuff with one. Modulation pedals can add quite a bit of spice to your sound. A phase shifter is cool too. Or a flanger or chorus or or or an Octave generator yeah yeah or a tremolo, Yeah! Tremolo's or great for blues tunes. Or an Eventide harmonizer........or a guitar synth..yeah, thats the ticket.
Man.....your gonna need a bigger board. ;D

Well, that's quite a set up RK! I just watched a 9 minute video of Justin Sandercoe messing around with a Budda Wah. Sounded really good.
How about talking me through your pedal board in detail? What order they are in and why, what they all are and what they do, what sounds you use them for? You know the kind of thing. i'm sure I would not be the only person to find that really interesting. What do you say?

Nice Pedal board RK Like Les I would be interested in order of pedals / uses etc. There seem to be loads of opinions of pedal order I made the mistake of getting a multieffects which is nice but sucks tone like a $5 whore!  I will set up a thread for effects pedals and hope if Mojo ever comes along again he makes it a sticky |
