Let's see your PEDAL BOARD!

I started rearranging my pedals and then went a bit mad.

As a consequence four music stands has become two, and a 20+ pedal chain has dropped to 14 (15 if you include the feedback looper).

Here's a typically blurry photo to show the full weight-loss

Wow! Great idea! Been considering how to have knobs accessible while I play. Did you buy the music stands with the holes or you drilled them? Also, what's in the middle holding the top rows?

[Paul_C]

The stands already had holes in.

The strips in the middle are currently chopped up bits of foam workshop floor tile held on by double-sided tape and cable ties. Nothing stays properly still though, so I could do with coming up with a better solution as I do get a little niggled if they're not equally spaced and upright (I was going to say I'm a bit OCD but recalled hearing someone who genuinely suffers saying that remarks like that are really annoying)

This is inspirational! That's a good idea I'll try out for pedals I normally bend to access during gigs for tone manipulation or oscillation ( :

I don't really understand the logic of my pedal board anymore, I'm just kinda doing shit and it sounds really bad so I keep it.

Yoo hows the freakenbender

[hbombgraphics]

I too am super curious about the Freakenbender!!!!

[Sentient Twig]

The freakenbender is sick. Most of that insanely priced English shit is a rip off imo, but that one is a legit great fuzz pedal.

Must be hard to get your foot up so high to stomp those switches…

Is it 300 great tho? I feel i am only going by my monkey brains desires when it comes to an oscillating fuzz in a mk3 box

ORANGE mk3 box!

Well, my method for keeping myself honest on fuzz purchases is A/Bing them vs my EH Big Muff Tone Wick pedal that I bought for $50 bucks. Because a shocking amount of really pricey fuzz pedals are either not as good as that pedal, or not enough better to justify their price to me. I bought a few coloursound pedals out of curiosity, including one for $600ish, the Freakenbender, and one of those absurd MKI models, out of morbid curiosity, and figuring I'd flip them at a small loss worst case. After comparing to my $50 big muff, the only one I kept was the Freakenbender, and took losses on the other two.

"Is it worth $300" is such a personal preference question---it was for me, but my guess is most people would say "no."

So a couple of years back I used to book shows and play bass live for a noise rock band. Today they asked me to come jam and help shape a new song of theirs for an upcomning recording. Had to put something together quickly and ended up with this. I've really missed playing bass in a band context, especially through the cat tail and ECT. Turned out really pleased with this setup

Oh yeah this is totally true! I was asking mostly cause i feel i get into a "just another tonebender" mindset even with the extra stuff. Tho if its as a great a TB pedal as you claim i may find it worth it.

Though alot of the time i feel that money is alot for any fuzz
