I figure we should go ahead and start a thread devoted to our pedalboards, for people to come and see, ask questions, and learn some stuff. Just think it would work better than having all the info scattered across a bunch of threads.

I’ll kick it off with my bass board. This is actually the least EHX I’ve ever had on it! I intend to solve that quite soon.
It is a little messy since I had been having some power issues and had to mess with all my daisy chains.

I’ll post a pic of mine (currently lacking a board so they are just on the floor infront of my amp) as soon as i get a chance/find the camera, but there isn’t that much EHX content at the moment.

Here’s my board.  Admittedly, there’s only one EHX pedal on it at the moment: a Stereo Electric Mistress.  However, it sees more action than all of my other pedals combined, and through all of my frequent pedal changes, it has stayed the longest.  I don’t think I’ll be selling it anytime soon…

Still exploring wah pedals (again) however.  It may not be a Dunlop 105Q for long, as I’m looking into Morley again (probably will pick up another Dual Bass Wah), and Chicago Iron (for their Tycobrahe Parapedal remake, the Parachute).  But I’ve also heard rumors about an EHX wah…

A friend of mine got it in a trade, in Houston, and I bought it off him since he isn’t an effects guy. Nothing like a Polychorus for 50 bucks!

My first official post at the official EHX forum!

w00t !!!

I had to leave quite a bit out - not enough board space or outlets - but this is the all EHX pedalboard I’m playing with now.

Thanks, Scott, for inviting me to take part in this historic occasion. EHX forever!

lol,  he’s a seriously good musician/vocalist too.

...and F&EHX;, good to see you here. It wouldn’t be the same without you.

Ok, as promised, I managed to find the camera (hidden in the strange compartment at the top of a chest of draws with a door that opens from the bottom that i used to call the “cakey” when i was a kid).

Some mysterious stuff there. I tried to get my amp in the pic as much as possible without showing up how much of a mess of boxes and cables there is next to it - and excuse the random jar of small change - that is my dad’s, i don’t know what its doing there really.

For the sake of any questions - the squiffy little guitar is a hofner shorty that i bought on tuesday. Its actually lovely to play and sounds pretty good too. Simply put in the photo because it was small enough to fit.

Then the pedals: The wah is first in the chain - its a vintage JEN “mister crybaby super” that i managed to get for £15. The 2 silver pedals are a Marshall JH-1 OD/Distortion and ED-1 Compressor. The vox is just a channel/reverb switch for my amp. That odd colourful pedal is a Danelectro Talkbox, it does the job, although i wish i’d got something a little better. The orange pedal is a Boss DS-2, which is very underrated IMO. The next 3 need no introduction - EHX Big Muff and small stone, and a small clone in the FX loop. Also in the FX loop is that bashed up danelectro delay pedal which cost me £2. All these are powered by a godlyke PA-9UK or a SoundLab Pedal Power 450.

The amp is a laney VC30. I run all my distortions into a very slightly overdriven amp all the time - it just thickens up the sound and smooths off the harshness that comes from the transistors and diodes.

Long post, but i love discussing gear a bit too much

Nice boards everybody.

This is pretty cool. From all over the world, all color, makes and models, we can get along and share something that is dear to us. To bad everyone doesn’t use EHX pedals, the world would be a better place.

I’m trying to rearrange my pedals to see if i can get them to fit into one of those stagg “touring” cases… but keeping it as practical as possible without muddling up the order in which things are connected.

edit: Just a little short of space, taking cables into account.. damn. I really do not want to muddle things up though, i have my reasons :|

Have you thought about using those “pancake” patch cables? Hosa is one company that makes them. I’m starting to replace all of my regular patches with these.

i thought those weren’t something i’d imagined - my Laney VC30 speaker cable has a socket like that so i guessed that they must make patch cables like it too. They’d probably help, but then they’d make the pedals be a bit too squashed together which isn’t something i want to do - i’m very shaky on stage, i have kinda physical panics where emotionally i’m completely calm but my body shakes as though i have serious stage fright so it can make me hit the wrong pedals too easily hehe.

Here are two pictures showing the length of the patch cable. You can spread them out a little bit, but I think that defeats the purpose of them.

I think you can spread the pedals far enough apart, that you will not hit the wrong pedal.

Hopefully this helps.

Ming, are those hosa patch cables?

Hey Fenderehx

when you get the 16 second delay?

still searching for lofi loop junky?
