Members tshapiro Posted May 6, 2014 Members Share Posted May 6, 2014 Nothing fancy sound-wise, but, I am a professional musician (singer/guitarist) and I need a board that is small, dependable, and flexible on stage - fussing with loose connections, pedals that won't click on, or regularly bending over to tweak settings does not work for my show. Since I am stuck to the mic, this board with the Nose volume knob in the middle allows me to adjust my volumes without bending over and/or looking down. Same with clicking on/off the overdrive & distortion (left and right of the volume knob). These Hardware pedals may not be everyone's first choice sound-wise, but, they they are good quality and extremely reliable with their switching. And, they are true bypass - I run these stereo into 2 Fender Hotrod Deville 4x10's set on the clean channel (2 x 60 tube watts). We play big shows regularly so the 2 amps has me covered for loud stages plus I have 2 in case 1 goes down. Connecting these pedals are the George L's with gold plated plugs. After 25 of professional playing, I can attest that gold plating will maintain good connections - nickel and stainless steel usually will not. These George L's are amazing... they are small and assemble easily. And, they are dead quite as far as I can tell. I'm powering this Pedaltrain board with the new 1250 pedal train power supply. I'm also happy with that as well. I have had my Fender amps for about 14 years now, but, pedal wise I've been looking for something that is easy to use live and allows me to deal with variable stage volume conditions. I am really liking this setup and think this one will be a keeper for a long time. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Player99 Posted May 7, 2014 Members Share Posted May 7, 2014 George L's are your weak link. They will fail, and you will bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tshapiro Posted May 8, 2014 Author Members Share Posted May 8, 2014 We'll see. But, I definitely won't bomb ☺ I bring at least 3 boards to a show as I have a whole trailer full of gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
