It took time, but our new guitar pedalboard is here! The board itself is a Trio28 from Temple Audio Design fitted with an IEC AC Mains Micro Module (left) and a 4-way Jack Patch Module (right), all from Temple Audio Design.

As far as the pedals are concerned, from upper left clock-wise:

1. Triple custom pedal from JAM Pedals:
   • DelayLlama + (analog delay)
   • WaterFall (chorus)
   • TubeDreamer+ (overdrive)
2. GOO Limited Edition designed by Nels Cline from ToneConcepts (distortion)
3. Mel9 from Electro-Harmonix (mellotron)
4. Mini EGO from Wampler (compressor)
5. DVP4 Volume X Mini Pedal from Dunlop (volume and expression)
6. Mini Modular Switcher Ver. 2 from LoopSwitchers (volume pedal switcher)
7. SneakAttack from Malekko Heavy Industries (attack/decay envelope modulator and tremolo)
8. Lil Buddy from Malekko Heavy Industries (tap switch for SneakAttack)
9. DIG from Strymon (stereo dual digital delay)
10. BlueSky from Strymon (stereo reverberator)
11. DittoX4 from TC Electronic (stereo dual looper)

The signal chain is as follows: MiniEGO → Mel9 → SneakAttack → TubeScreamer+ → GOO → Volume X Mini → WaterFall → DelayLlama → DIG (stereo) → BlueSky (stereo) → DittoX4 (stereo). The board is powered with a DC10 from CIOKS, fitted on the under side of the board (underneath the GOO). The AUX output  of the DVP4  (loose plug in the picture above) can be connected to the EXP input of the DIG. The switcher is used to by-pass the volume pedal, allowing it to function as expression control. The stereo output of the  DittoX4 goes to the 4-way Jack Patch Module (right). The right channel is connected to our trusty CUBE 80GX from Roland, while the left channel goes into our brand-new Fender Blues Junior III Woody Tequila Limited Edition. But that is the stuff of a separate post… Read more...
