Been using EHX preamp tubes for a long time. However, this is my first post and EHX pedal – Soul Food. Very nice pedal, liking it very much. As you can tell by my pedal board, I’m an OD junkie!

Hey gang,
I went through every post on this thread and enjoyed seeing all the different pedal boards. Some, I was unable to see the pics, and some were not well documented; but all in all I’m really impressed. I was the first person I knew of to make a pedal board; and I can tell you that was a while back. As you may have noticed, I still have some of my original pedals; and each has it’s story. I am pleased to see sites like this where we can interact with others, and get feedback and assistance to make our setups better. I must mention at this point that I believe we all owe a certain Mike Matthews a debt of gratitude for his efforts and tenacity in keeping EHX going in the face of tough times in the past. I remember the days of “Broadway Computer” as a sad time etc. I’m also grateful and I’m absolutely delighted to see the extraordinary new products being offered by EHX. Yep – I can’t wait to get my hands on some of this new stuff! I also believe we also need to appreciate his being such a visionary in our worlds of guitar etc tonalites. EHX effects go further into uncharted territories than others. I encourage everyone who might happen to read this to get some cool EHX goods. My only affiliation with EHX is being a long standing customer. ( Yep – I have more EHX than is on my current pedal boards)
Now: on to my current board. You may notice some unusual items:
Here’s the current chain:
Boss TU2 tuner ->LPB (My originals are toasted so I sure was glad to be able to get a new one) This LPB can live at either end of the chain and currently it’s first…-> 60’s Italian Vox Wah -> EHX Y-triggered filter -> V1 Big Muff (My original pedal) -> Foxx Tone machine -> Audioworks FET Distortion -> “script” MXR phase 90 -> original Small Stone EHX -> Deluxe Electric Mistress -> Boss RPS10 -> H2O Liquid chorus / echo -> Deluxe Memory Man (My old blue dog is down and headed to Howard Davis (What a Dude!) for repair) -> 50’s Alamo and old Gorilla practice amps.
I personally prefer ANALOG. You may notice the Boss which is only used for the reverse / octive special effect. (When I bought it – the EHX unit did not exist.) My other analog delay and chorus also went down, so this is how I came to the Visual Sounds H2O – I was in a bind and it was available, cheap, and right now. I don’t generally use the delay on it as it is digital. I’m still on the hunt for a tube amp to compliment the old Alamo. Any ideas out there? I have yet to try the EHX chorus; but the analog chorus sure seems nice on this unit. The Foxx is an unusual machine indeed. The Audioworks is a rarity and it’s cool stuff. In it’s day it was unusual stuff FET and all. Oh – That’s a newer stratacoustic – pretty cool idea IMO. The Mustang is a ’66 with a ’72 Herb Gastelum neck. Strat – my original ’63 never let’s me down…Yeah, I voted single coil. I have owned some various Gibsons in the past, but I prefer the Fenders.
I’m including a picture of a pretty rare dog – my Gretsch tremfect. (well that was the plan anyways) You may laugh as it is OLD (Like a lot of my stuff) and Big and clunky. Many have never even heard of such a beast, and I can tell you that it is WAY cool! (Dear EXH current engineers – I hearby submit this as food for thought R&D) This being said you may wonder why it is not in the chain currently. It has no bypass and does not completely play well with the others so I have to re-wire to use it. It has “status lights” and was the first pedal I ever saw that did. Slightly ahead of it’s time I’d say; in more ways than one. So does anyone have any suggestions on the where and how to incorporate this into the chain here?
I noticed various home made pedal board designs; and so I’m including my original ideas here. As I say I built my first model(s) some time ago. Let me tell you – the Internet is a very cool thing as I was really let down by the local “experts” here. To be fair though this was something they’d never seen; heard of; or thought of… How these experts could not know of such things as ground loops; and the fact that a V1 Muff for example; was not designed with the intention of EVER seeing a power supply; I can not answer…etc…
My take on a pedal board is that it should be angled. I started with this design originally. I did see here that some one used a “riser”; which was to put the back pedals up on blocks; but I’d like them to try my design and offer some feedback perhaps…
I also planned to include pictures of how I achieved this; and also of the suit case that the boards fit into for transport. Yeah – it’s not as slick as some of the commercially available models BUT I really like the configuration better. Besides it’s a way to also do this on the cheap;) With the monies saved one might be able to get more EHX goodies! Hey – I’m just saying… The “legs” are door stops BTW…
Oh – I can’t post more than one pic due to size constraints, so let me know if anyone wants me to post other pics…
Keep on Rockin – or playing the blues – or country – or metal – or whatever it is you do!

Hello everybody again!

After a long period (over three years more or less), I’ve completely updated my pedal boards. While some of them have had minor changes, others have been drastically reworked or arranged for new projects. Let’s start!.

I’m currently playing with three different bands. Each one has its own guitar, amp & FX setup as follows: 1 amp, 2 guitars (each one has a different tuning) and 3 pedal boards per band (I tag them “I”, “II” and “III”). What I usually do is trying different combinations – a total of six possibilities per band.

This is what I use when I play with “ZARAPOLIS” (pop-rock, similar to U2, Pink Floyd, and some 80’s and 90’s bands). I use a pair of modified Jazzmasters with D Standard and C Standard tuning:

I:

Signal path: Guitar -> VoodooLab Sparkle Drive -> Boss TU-2 -> EH DMM RI (131 BPM version) -> EH SMM/Hazarai -> Amp (Sovtek MiG 100 + Framus 2 x 12″ cab).

This is what I use when I play with “LANA LEE” (instrumental psychedelic rock). I use another pair of modified Jazzmasters with E Standard and C Standard tuning:

This is what I use when I play with “CAMILLE” (post-rock/hardcore). I use a heavily modified Stratocaster (E Standard tuning) and a modified Jazzmaster (D Standard tuning):

Hi Nacho, love the boards particularly the use of many vintage/reissue big EHX pedals. What were the multi power supplies you were using for the smaller pedals. One was called ‘baby’? I haven’t heard of those before, at least not in the UK. Are they isolated?

Also, whose make of pedal boards are you using? I have a couple of big EHX pedals and I’m not sure what size of board or manufacturer would be best.

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 Â£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 Â£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

Now THIS is a pedalboard! My bass amp and speakers (Ashdown Evo III 4×10 and 1×15) weigh a ton, why shouldn’t my pedalboard?

Hi, I’m new here. This is my latest collection of pedals. I hope to build a nice board for them soon.

I have:
A Moog ES-1 that controls the EHX Good Vibes
A Wah pedal
A Digitech Jimi Hendrix pedal, I often threaten not to use it.
A Digitech phase shifter
A Boss DS-1
An EHX Good Vibes
A Danelectro French Toast, it’s an octave fuzz, really cheap.
A DOD commpressor/sustainer
A TC Mojo for clean boost
And a Two Timer delay.

I’m still playing with the order I want them in.

I’m new to the forum. I started with ehx pedals after I lost most of my gear in a house fire. My cousin recommended the metal muff and #1 echo. I watched a few demos and also purchased the od glove, worm and small clone to start with. I was not disappointed and now I’m hooked on ehx. I recently purchased the holy grail neo and I love the plate reverb. I have been switching around the order some. What do you think? My amp is an ibanez T5A15H and main guitars are a Fender Strat and Fender Jazzmaster. I also own a few ibanez electric guitars and acoustic guitars. Thanks ehx for the inspiration and Rock and Roll!!!

I’m a bass guitarist and have two pedal boards that I alternate between using. Both have a fair amount of EHX pedals-some newer and some older. Here are my boards!

This is my first board. Way too much fun building this thing.

My board has morphed quite a bit over the years. It stalled for a long time and I’m now trying to build it back up to something useable. My focus?

1. Analogue wherever possible.

2. Pay attention to impedance issues. In other words, use buffering where it’s needed.

3. Be as compact and light as possible without compromising sound quality.

4. Use EHX wherever possible.

5. Focus on individual effects rather than multi-effects.

My current board:

Guitar -> Rivera PMP BUF1 -> 70s Cry Baby Stereo Fuzz Wah/Volume -> Nano Small Stone -> Nano Big Muff -> Germanium4 Big Muff -> Nano Memory Toy -> Canyon Delay -> Nano Holy Grail -> MXR Noise Gate/Line Driver -> S.Hawk Ltd. Hawk II Tonal Expander -> Amp (Fender Excelsior)

A high percentage of my EHX pedals are the “Nano” version. They aren’t as flexible as the Deluxe, “Standard”, or Neo versions, but they include the most popular/common/useful settings and they are lighter, smaller, and cheaper, and they still sound great.

I’ll probably be replacing the Rivera PMP BUF1 with a buffered bypass EHX effect that would go at the front of the chain like The Platform. I MIGHT replace the Cry Baby with the Wailing Wah, but it sounds so darn good. It’s heavy, but I’ve upgraded the pots to Hot Pots and it just works so well… I’ll be replacing the MXR noise gate with the Silencer. And I might replace the Hawk II Tonal Expander with the EHX Knock Out. My amp has a VERY limited tone control – a bright/dark switch – and I use the Tonal Expander at the end of the chain as a tone control into the amp. The Knock out only has two filters whereas the Tonal Expander has three plus two fixed boosters, but the Knock Out is easier to use and it looks better. I think I might be able to get some really good money for the Tonal Expander.
