Members TeleMan1985 Posted April 5, 2007 Members Share Posted April 5, 2007 Was using this home made board: But it was so bloated that I would just spend all my time messing around with pedals, rather than actually playing guitars. I even had a few extra pedals that I kept swapping in and out because I wasn't sure what I actually wanted. So, I've just got a PedalTrain 2 and downsized. Just picked a few good solid pedals, pretty much wired it all up with permanance in mind to stop myself swapping pedals in and out so often, and I'm enjoying it much more. This setup just makes me want to play guitar, end of. Oh, and yeah the pedal trains are expensive for what they are, but great little piece of kit if you like to keep things tidy like me...

Members Lanefair Posted April 5, 2007 Members Share Posted April 5, 2007 Nice to see a non boutique board. I'd be very happy with that selection of pedals. Oh and the pedaltrain looks sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and the pedaltrain looks sweet. Yeah, I was just saying yesterday how I could quite easily live with an all BOSS board. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to try some boutique I guess to see what it's all about, but I don't really care for it that much. You can get some ace sounds out of highstreet gear...

Members TeleMan1985 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted April 5, 2007 nice..how do you find the diago power supply keep thinking of trying one so i could stick it under my pedaltrain easily? No complaints at all. Silent, simple, will power {censored}loads and stays cool too. Plus, the customer service at Diago is incredible. You can actually email the director guy James and ask him if it will power a certain pedal or whether you need one of the adaptors they sell, and he will email you back personally, usually within a matter of minutes. I managed to get hold of some right angled jacks aswell, which really helps with daisy chaining. One small problem is that with the stock Diago daisy chains, the plugs are to close together. Plus the right angled ones give you more space on the board.

Oh and the pedaltrain looks sweet. yuh know....does boutique REALLY make a massive difference?? I mean as long as the pedal gives the tone you want and is reliable who cares who made it right? and yeah.....pedaltrain looks awesome.... I think thats where i'm leaning towards when I'm in the market for a pedalboard..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeleMan1985 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted April 5, 2007 You like delays eh?Very nice board. Haha yeah I like my delays. Thing is though, I just got the DD-20 and it's so much more than just a delay unit. You can do all sorts of {censored} with it. It's party piece is the 23 second loop which is great for practice...

It looked so great after the clean, I decided it was time for a photoshoot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats where i'm leaning towards when I'm in the market for a pedalboard..... It's a fine line. I know that my audience will never know the difference between boutique and non. But I also know that if I have the exact pedals that give me the exact sound I want, I will play with more confidence and the audience will know that SOMETHING is better. For the record, I don't have any boutique pedals. Oh, and the pedaltrain board looks sweet. I might have to pick one up if my Rondo board ever craps out.

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Nice and clean TeleMan - good job on the wiring. What delay is that? Is that a BYOC? If so, you did a great job on the graphics / paint - I like the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, you did a great job on the graphics / paint - I like the look. Nah it's not a BYOC. A few people have made the same mistake though. It's a belcat delay. Nice pedal nonetheless and I'm pretty sure it's analogue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sainty Posted April 5, 2007 Members Share Posted April 5, 2007 Teleman, do you always put a right angle plug into your way pedal? I find it really annoying cos it flips about and can get stuck underneath the front of the wah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
