Members guitapick Posted December 19, 2011 Members Share Posted December 19, 2011 I know there's a thread for current boards, but I don't see a lot of Leprechauns on these forums and I love this board. Pretty simple, but it's really versatile and packs some serious punch: Chain goes as follows: TC Electronic Integrated Preamp under the hood (really great little unit) Atom Smasher Boss CS-3 (Mark Humphrey mod) XTS Preamp Catalinbread Semaphore Tremolo Boss CE-2 Neunaber WET Strymon El Cap w/Favorite switch The cables (except from tc preamp to compressor) were made by XTS. Great sound. No tuner. I use a clip-on. The only thing I'm thinking of changing, at this point, is the Chorus. Tough decision because I love it so much (my second pedal, ever). But I had to take my flanger off the board to make room for the tremolo. Don't use a flanger much, but when I do, I really get off on it. So I'm considering either the tc electronic Stereo Chorus/Flanger or their Nova Modulator. Leaning towards the Chorus/Flanger because it looks like it would be easier to switch between the two sounds, mid tune. We'll see. I love that CE-2. I put the delay last because I like to use the WET within the sound on sound function of El Cap. I've got a light reverb going on my Boogie Mark IIB that's on all the time, pretty much. It's easy to think that the compressor's a weak link...but Mark's mod really made a difference. Quieter and smoother with more range. I A/B'd it with the Wampler Ego and the sound quality was on par. It's a really nice unit. Here's a shot of a couple of holes I had him drill. I can plug into the tc preamp this way and also have access to the power supply's outlet for a strip or pedal with a plug, if necessary: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members christianatl Posted December 19, 2011 Members Share Posted December 19, 2011 I reeeaaally want to get down to 6 or 7 pedals on a smaller board, but it's like killing your children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitapick Posted December 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2011 Pretty rad. what do they run? Depends on the size you want. Mine's 14"x18"...cost me $220 with the case (really good case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No {censored}. I can't believe how much I miss the flanger. It's my least used pedal, so I figured, "wtf". But when I want it, I really miss it. That's why I'm thinking of one of those tc electronic combo pedals. I really do like the smaller board, though. Getting the XTS Preamp made it possible to add a boost, which is so cool. And the OD/Distortion on that pedal are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted December 19, 2011 Members Share Posted December 19, 2011 That is a very cool board. I've seen them before, thought they were an add-on for Pedaltrain. What/how do you connect your pedals to the actual board? And price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What/how do you connect your pedals to the actual board? And price? They do make an add-on to a Pedaltrain which is pretty popular. Here are the prices/sizes: http://www.leprechaunpedalboards.com/store.html This link shows how to connect pedals. These pedal locks are pretty cool.

Members guitapick Posted December 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2011 It's got red dots, so you know it sounds good: lol... Actually, you peel the red off to expose the adhesive, which is gray...a much punchier tone than the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tronus Posted December 19, 2011 Members Share Posted December 19, 2011 That's really neat man, thanks for posting that... I have a teacher who mentioned one of his students last 'round or two going off and starting this pedalboard co... I couldn't ever remember the name until just now. That's a really cool idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really cool idea Yeah...I was looking at different boards and really liked a lot of them. But I liked this one most. The locking system's really effective, I can put my ps and tc preamp underneath and out of the way (a biggie...gives me more space on top), the angle's right (no touching the bottom row's pots when I'm stomping the top row), and the flight case is excellent. chrony is right: it's more expensive than, say, the Pedaltrain Jr (which I like a lot). But it suits my needs just right and I had the extra $$$s from selling some gear. So here 'tis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
