RobB Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Too many choices is always preferable to not enough. Consider yourself lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorch Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Paint the board in yellow. So it looks nicer when the pedals are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtrdaddy Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 You obviously need a bigger board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy p Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I bought a new board and power supply over 6 months ago. The board, the power supply, all my pedals, a roll of velcro, and connector cords are still in a pile on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalessin Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Get a smaller board. It focuses the mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I barely used that pedal so far, but I like toy around with (beside that cool name, that is). But after eliminating the Keeley chorus I wonder if the Frostbite may cloud compensate that... And the Enhance knob is killer, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polara Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I'm doing that this week. I've really liked my Fractal AX8 but I only use one amp and cab model + two distortion stages, a tremolo, and a delay. It's like using a spaceship to to go the grocery store. So I got a DSM+Humboldt Simplifier and am hooking my pedals up. It'll be more suited for my minimal needs, and still go straight into the board.

BoogieMKIIA Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Maybe it’s time for a return to rack effects. Or reasonably priced modeling effects boxes with programmable buttons. I now have a small pedal board. Any larger and I won’t be able to reach the mic or avoid tripping while trying to reach the switch buttons.

tbonesullivan Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 This is up there at #1 for reasons "why I never made my guitar pedalboard". So many choices about how you can organize things. I'm still amazed I managed to build a bass pedalboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoogieMKIIA Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I resisted for a long time because I’m stubborn and cheap. But playing some songs where a tremolo and wah are needed. Then got a chorus and found a place to put my Red Moon Tchula. Next version I will add cable to the effects loop. Really like to hear reverb trails through chorus.

Is it a basic treble booster? That‘s a Sitek, a polish company. I bought it kind of blind via ebay, but to my taste it is a bit too fuzzy. I‘m thinking about letting it go anyway, so if anyone here is interested let me know. In case anyone wants to dig deeper in strange, unknown and funny pedals you may want to check out www.guitarpedalx.com Here you find reviews of some pretty obscure brands, well worth a look...
