Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted March 14, 2007 Members Share Posted March 14, 2007 Maybe there is a market for pre-aged relic'd pedals for the road warrior look? Hey, they did it for guitars and now amps too. Man, don't give BOSS any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zachman Posted March 14, 2007 Members Share Posted March 14, 2007 I think something far and deep in the brain of the fellah has understood his point is void, because he doesnt answer and did a new thread a la "good players can play {censored}ty boards" Well I guess good players can also play nice boards Oh, my :rolleyes: He is a lonely troll, seeking attention.

Members Brett Valentine Posted March 14, 2007 Members Share Posted March 14, 2007 About 99% of the people who post pics of their pedalboard here show us pictures of a collection of beautifully clean, perfectly placed pedals with immaculate wiring and not a spect of dirt on the pedals, on the carpet or anywhere. How many of you actually play them? Or is this all just a hobby of buying pedals and seeing how anal you can get arranging them on a piece of wood/metal and never really doing anything with them? I may not gig as much as I used to, but it doesn't take much to brush the top soil off the board. Also, dirt on the pedals eventually means dirt in the switches and pots. . . It's a "studio" thing I guess, but also, a neat board makes it easier to hunt down problems. As a consequence, I've got gear I used in the 70's and it still looks pretty good (some of it doesn't work but hey, it still LOOKS pretty good:p ). And for the purpose of taking pictures, yeah, I make it look neater.I'll stand up and say it: "I'm anal AND I play!":phil: And sometimes I just like to stand back and "wook at aw duh pwiddy pedoows."

Wow. What a horrifying concept. "Buy your 'authentically reliced' TS9 now for only $499.95!" I have to admit, it wouldn't surprise me to see this happen, someday.

Members spoonie g Posted March 14, 2007 Members Share Posted March 14, 2007 +1 on the pristine but also I cant believe people actually gig with so much crap, some boards have about 15 pedals and others have 2 boards hooked-up, just could not be {censored}ed with carrying it, setting it up and reliability.you should see my bassist and mine's setups.

Members sdresdre Posted August 25, 2007 Members Share Posted August 25, 2007 i think if you have a proper pedal board thats protected.... a pedal will look like it hasn't been touched. if YOU the person bought the pedal new. i could care less about what pedals look like tho. if i knew that i would never sell any pedal on my board i would paint them all insane colours/stripes etc so i know that zebra stripes = delay etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jazzdrum Posted August 25, 2007 Members Share Posted August 25, 2007 ... running into a $500 Hot Rod Deluxe. it's not a bad amp. 5K of pedals is one thing.....it's many many pedals that add up to, but you really only need one amp, right? I'm sure a 5K board has at least one sub $100 pedal on it cause if it's good and cheap who cares......same applies to amps....and I know for ME, I can easily spend 50 bucks here....200 bucks there on ebay on pedals (thanks to this forum), however it is much harder to save for a $500.00 plus amp. but I digress, cause I know there's some stoopid 500 dollar pedals on the same board that do the same thing as a simple 100 dollar pedal.... I'm just saying....trickle down economics.....20 bucks here....50 there......who even notices? (certainly not the wife)..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aarockla Posted August 25, 2007 Members Share Posted August 25, 2007 why does everyone assume that a gigging musicians is playing 24 hrs a day, and can't find 15 minutes to organize or clean. if you don't don't want to fine, but i cant think anyone here is so busy and their music is so time consuming that they can't clean and assume everyone else must be the same. anyways, doesn't anyone just have some gear for fun? just for the hell of it, to try? or does everything need a purpose and need to be used 100% of time.

Members slash81291 Posted August 26, 2007 Members Share Posted August 26, 2007 erm usually when i take pics its when i get a few new pedals and re arrange/them, so when I rearrange with some new pedals added, i just clean them up, snap some shots, and let the mess comence!

Then I put a drop cloth over my pedal board to keep dust off my gear. I like my stuff to look new no matter how old it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you've spent the amount of money many of us have on gear - the smart thing to do is to take care of your investments. I clean my guitars and change the strings after every gig too as well as wiping down my cables and pedals, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jakkeh Posted August 26, 2007 Members Share Posted August 26, 2007 my board isn't clean, not nice wired and i stomp on my boxes: i recently replaced the big muff pi reissue with a little big muff to save space. the big muff is now for homewanking and stomping Not being a {censored}, but you should run the Fuzz Factory 1st in your signal chain - Unless there's no difference with a Wah in front, I've never tried.

Members angelhair0 Posted August 27, 2007 Members Share Posted August 27, 2007 After a 5-6 week tour, I can vouch for NITEFLY182 when I say that his wonderfully put together CLEAN pedalboard (Pedaltrain Pro) stayed very clean and straight. The only issues he had was the back of the velcro melting from his board sitting in a hot trailer between shows, so sometimes he would open his board to his pedals being crooked. My touring board wasn't that incredibly neat to begin with but other than me having the same velcro issue, mine stayed the way I put it together. If you take care of your stuff, things stay clean and neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lukeswall Posted August 27, 2007 Members Share Posted August 27, 2007 I don't have a board, but my pedals stay on my amp's head because I can't stand 10 minutes without fiddling with the controls. plus, I rarely turn a pedal on or off during songs.

Nothing better than pulling a hot pedalboard out of a case and having the melted velcro goo ball up all over everything. My board, all velcro issues aside, stayed very clean and neat and had 0 problems for all of tour.Im pretty sure everyone who is "anti-clean board" cant say that and they probably get pretty pissed when a cable goes bad and they have to find it or something is broken from general lack of care. I watched from about 2 feet (If BTBAM moved at all it would have been uncomfortably close) as Paul from BTBAM spent 10 minutes figuring out that the nut on his NS2 input jack was loose. Take care of your {censored} dudes. There's nothing uncool about having gear that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members homestar_kevin Posted August 27, 2007 Members Share Posted August 27, 2007 I don't see why anyone wouldn't have as neat a pedalboard as possible. It's like owning a car, if you treat it like {censored} and don't take care of it and maintain it. it's going to {censored} up, right when you need it to not {censored} up.
