Very nice, Denise.
I think the wah pedal would go before the blues driver. Not sure if the wah should go before the compressor. My favourite effect is a vibe pedal, probably because of my unending admiration for Hendrix. I think a vibe would go before the delay. Some of them can get crazy expensive. Be careful you don’t get the overdrive bug and go looking for that perfect distortion sound.

Congratulations on your new board Denise, looks pretty comprehensive to me. I must add, I’m really envious of your Strymon Cloudburst Reverb, I could have endless fun with that.

I like your idea of publishing your pedal board, I think we would all enjoy seeing other member’s boards and maybe highlighting what pedals we get most enjoyment/benefit from and what order etc., what do you think?

Hi Denise,
That’s a cool board you guys put together! I built one back in 2020 and it sure makes it easy to access the sounds you want. The most expense was a $10 roll of velcro. The small delay is one of my favorites that was added a year later. It’s set like a slapback with only 1 repeat. I use the tube screamer more than the blues driver because it can be more of a boost than distortion. I am toying with getting a compressor pedal like yours.
Enjoy!
Mike

Nice one, Denise. I guess the only thing I would do different is put the wah pedal last on the board. BTW, do you know the trick of using a compressor plus overdrive to get huge sustain? Just google it, if you don’t.

Hi Denise, I’ll share my pedal board with you. I go directly into my Morley wah first, then the Tube Screamer (more for compression than distortion), then the MXR for distortion, and finally my looper. That seemed to work best for me. If your amp has an F/X loop that’s probably where the time based pedals like delay and reverb would go…but my amp doesn’t have an F/X loop so I don’t know for sure how it would sound (my amp has delay and reverb). Have fun!

BTW, do you know the trick of using a compressor plus overdrive to get huge sustain? Just google it, if you don’t.

You use can the additional volume / sustain you can get from the compressor to drive the Blues Driver even harder

Nice group of pedals solid start to a pedalboard looking at mine I’d add some form of modulation boss do a multi version that covers flange chorus rotary etc. md200 there are other makes that do a similar grouping

I designed this pedal board to serve both my acoustic and electric guitars.
The relevant pedals are switched on/off depending on whether I’m using an Acoustic or Electric guitar and connected to my Fender Acoustic Junior or Boss Katana Amp.

The MXR 6 Band EQ pedal allows me to manage the frequencies and achieve a better output tone from my Martin.
The JHS Reverb is a super pedal for the money but not in the same calibre as the Strymon Cloudburst.
The looper and foot switch is connected when required etc.

Just out of interest, I recently sold my Digitech Trio+ Band Creator as I never did achieve the types or quality backing tracks I was after.

1 Boss Compressor/Sustain
2 MXR 6 Band EQ
3 TC Electronic Body Rez
4 Boss Digital Delay
5 JHS 3 Series Reverb
6 MXR 78 Distortion
7 Boss RC3 Looper

Thanks Denise, yes I play a GnL ASAT Tele, I have only posted two challenges with it over the years. However it is a mere shadow of the 1961 Gretsch 6120 (Chet Atkins Hollow Body) I owned and played back in the day. Certainly one of the most beautiful guitars I’ve ever owned and I wish I still had it.

Out of interest Denise, have you watched the Anderton’s video on your Strymon Cloudburst Pedal, they said it was ‘The Most Inspiring Guitar Pedal Ever.

Richard

Woohoo! Alain did a fantastic job with your pedal board, Denise!
Very impressive pedal collection already, now you’re a real pro 😉

Hi Denise,

Hope all is well.

I’m about to upgrade my pedalboard very soon. I have a small board with:

MXR Carbon Copy Delay
Boss Blues Driver 2
MXR Micro Amp (for instant boost)

The Rockboard I have only fits 3 pedals so I’m looking at getting a bigger one.

I have a Boss RC-1 Looper and an Electro- Harmonix Silencer that I want to add and that’s why I need a larger board.

If you haven’t already got one I’d consider a Looper.

All the best!

Very nifty Denise. I think you will be experimenting and mixing and matching for a while. Congratulations, can’t wait to hear what ya got! Keep on rocking’ in the free world.

Incredible demo video. Oh, the creative possibilities. We’ll be waiting for your opus, Denise.

A second drive pedal can be great, like a timmy, odr1, or tscreamer, eq pedals are a great way to boost, and chorus is still a winner, and flanger is fun.
Great board enjoy.

Hi Denise , that’s a smart new pedalboard, the compressor looks interesting I’ll have to check that one out , lots of options for additional pedals
Tremolo , drive, eq , looper etc so many out there as you probably know .
Heres mine I’ve kinda gone down the boss route but am always on the look out for something different, I swop a couple out for either electric or acoustic.

Nice looking board Denise! Knowing your love of Rockabilly and country/blues you should check out the JHS Milkman pedal. Has a really nice clean boost and a cool slapback delay, two pedals in one!
