Let's see your PEDAL BOARD!

[jrfox92]

God damn, you guys are friggin' crazy-so many crazy awesome ILFish boards on the past few pages. What's that orange pedal with the green slime? And what's the octopus pedal?

Custom coloured EQD Palisades.

[lost in music]

Looks so much better that way. EQD almost always seems to get their colors so wrong for their regular release shit.

movin' & switchin'.

hopefully i'll get this wired up today...

Awesome board space6oy, when I see stuff like this I can't not think how you can manage to press those switches without moving knobs or pressing other pedals (that CT5! Hooow?? )

That's the sort of thing that puzzles me as well, with all of these super awesome ilf-ish boards. I'd love to have a collection of toys like that at home or in a studio, it'd be a ton of endless fun and all...But there's no way I could ever play out with a board like that, let alone tour with it
It'd be a useless liability for me, even if I were into more effects-dependant tunes than I am now. To me, convenience is the whole point of placing all your shit on a board that fits in a case that you can actually LIFT on your own

In my experience the best boards to gig/tour with are small fail-proof ones with reliable and easily replaceable pedals. Unless you've got a huge fucking budget and crew and and roadies and all that, which I doubt anyone here can say...

Getting off topic here, srry. I'm not trying to be a douche, I'm just genuinly wondering if any here with an enormous fancy board actually takes that board on the road at all Please tell me it CAN be done and give me an excuse to lem my GAS go wild... ;p

I don't know if you've seen elevenstrings board but that's a gigging board.

Saturnworks re-amp.

Exactly. Roadworthiness is not determined by size. I gig out with a pt-pro that is wired carefully, built in redundancies etc. never had a problem, and with the interface I have under the board (with locking jacks so I never accidentally pull out a cable, leave everything plugged in) I can set up in no time.

I swing back and forth between minimalist to ridiculous depending on what I am playing, but durability isn't an issue either way, proper time and care setting up a board can make any setup roadworthy,

the only consideration I have for a smaller board is how many trips I want to make to my car, some days my back feels very old and I feel very lazy.

Yeah, I have a gig tonight. But it's a short set so I'm not bringing the satellite board (if you look on the board the pedal next to the Boomerang with the Ghidrah etch is a bypass looper and one of stomps bypasses that board) - but both boards are rugged and built to gig with. They are heavy, but I've collected refrigerator-sized arcade video games for over a decade, so moving a 50lb. board from the car to a stage is nothing compared to moving an Asteroids cabinet up a flight of stairs.

Could you adopt me?

[OddKnowledge]

Going in the opposite direction. Here's my board.

[hbombgraphics]

I like it! looks fun and would tuck in a gig bag.
sometimes that's the way to go

Depends. Can you diagnose and do component level repair on old 80s arcade pcbs?

I mean...
I own a business where I diagnose and do component level repair of radios/intercoms.
So...maybe?

Yeah, that's probably the thing. Careful wiring, quality cables and power, built in redundancies...I totally suck at that stuff. You should see pics of my old board. 8 pedals, and it looked a someone threw it out of a moving car
When a big board like that can work in live situations for someone else, you would think I should be able to rock a small-ish board, right?
Come to think of it, my board sorta reflects my personality and life: A fucking mess, that's usually mostly okay.

I'm taking notes here though. One of these days I'm gonna get organisised

Dig it. Totally my thing. The less shit that can go wrong, the better imo.

How are you powering that Freeze though? Mine gets noisy when it's NOT on its own unregulated power supply. It's a generic one-spot style dc adapter, and plugged in it's way too tall to fit underneath my board
