New Pedalboard Build
Just got an Ebbe Design Magnetic Pedalboard in the mail the other day and migrated my main pedals onto it.



Just got an Ebbe Design Magnetic Pedalboard in the mail the other day and migrated my main pedals onto it.
Guess which pedal is on its way to fill the empty space in the middle :- )
Signal path: Peterson tuner ➡️ Strymon OB.1 compressor/boost ➡️ "????" ➡️ Big Muff (Ram's head) ➡️ Ravenstone 1959 (JCM800) ➡️ Boss GE-7 ➡️ MD-200 (modulation all in one) ➡️ DD-200 (delay all in one) ➡️ Iridium.
But I love effects pedals!
I don't know what's more expensive. Buying a pedalboard already modified for you, or modifying it yourself. Tools, supplies, time...extra pedals you see on the internet and immediately think, "THIS, is THE ONE I NEED!"
In one week, I think I dropped about $400.
Anywho, once my Freq Out gets here, that Iso-Brick is going under the board.
Oh and by the way....for all you Sonic Stomp haters, the magic in that pedal is when you're being mic'd and through the main speakers. The sub lows are effective. Just don't expect the same results direct while playing at low volume.
I’m playing a gig at the end of the month (indie, rock, french touch) using both my jaguar bass and poly d. At first I was thinking of running both instruments through the pedalboard but as some pointed out, FOH probably will want to split both signals (but I’ll still carry a ABY splitter just in case). Here’s what i ended up going for!
Never really liked lugging a spaceship board where you press only two pedals throughout the show hahah here’s the (sorta) minimalist board i take with me to all the gigs, from church to bars to the big stages!
What do you guys think?
Usually don’t have the chorus pedal on there. I’d like to add another delay pedal in the near future.
Im doing doomgaze, grunge/grungegaze, shoegaze and noise music. Would like to get more noises and ambiences for harsher and maybe heavier sounds.
should i aim for the waza??
Solar tuner+ -> boss ns2 -> diy ts9 -> LEL x-metal (soviet mf, use like Rat) -> Solar chug -> noname 7 band eq -> boss ns2 (return) -> amp
Does anyone know any videos that explain how I can use MIDI with my boss ES-5 for changing amp presets on things like my Tonex plus pedal? I’ve never used MIDI before so I’m a noob when it comes to it.
I don't play guitar. Looking online I've found that Behringer pedals are pretty decent for the price and unfortunately where I live I don't have many other options for brands that I could afford.
My friend loves grunge and rock music. Do you guys think this would be a decent setup for those kinds of sounds as well as general versatility? I'm pretty set on the other pedals but I don't know if the HM300 is a good fit.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Every tone a Doom Messiah can need. Use this to build, copy and venture off the path down the galactic mountain. If you have any questions I’m not here to gate keep anything.

I'm looking for some advice from people with more experience building versatile boards.
I'm 18 and can't realistically have a separate board for every project, so I'm trying to make one board that can cover quite a wide range:
MBV / Loveliescrushing / Fleeting Joys / shoegaze
Ambient guitar
Sonic Youth / Dinosaur Jr
Cocteau Twins / The Cure / dream pop
My main amp is a Roland JC-120, which I absolutely love, and my main guitars are a Player II Jazzmaster and Gibson SG Special with P90s.
Current board:
Jazzmaster/SG → Boss GE-7 → tuner → Yamaha SPX90 → Keeley Compressor Plus → EHX String9 → EHX Freeze → Rams Head Big Muff → Rat 2 → Behringer UV300 → Boss CH-1 → EQD Grand Orbiter → Line 6 DL4 MkI → EHX Memory Man with Hazarai → Strymon BlueSky → JC-120
My thoughts on the individual pedals:
GE-7 — 9/10: absolutely staying.
Keeley Compressor Plus — 7/10: relatively new to me, so I probably just need to spend more time with it.
SPX90 — 6/10: I mainly use it for reverse reverb, hall and occasionally symphonic. I love the idea of it but don't really get on with the sounds I'm getting.
String9 — 6/10: only really use it for ambient layers. It sounds a little too digital/obvious to me, so this is probably the slot I'd most like to completely transform.
Freeze — 8/10: impartial
Rams Head — 10/10: staying.
Rat — 9/10: staying.
UV300 — 6/10: useful, but probably redundant with the CH-1 and Orbiter.
CH-1 — 10/10: one of my favourite pedals.
Grand Orbiter — 11/10: absolutely staying.
DL4 MkI — 10/10: staying. It's stereo and I love what it does.
Memory Man Hazarai — 6.5/10: I've never completely clicked with it, so I'm considering replacing it with a DD-200.
BlueSky — 9/10: great pedal, although sometimes I wonder if it's slightly too clean/sterile for what I'm doing.
I also have an EHX Pitchfork that I've never really experimented with, so that could be used or sold, aswell as a big muff and sf300 I’m selling
At the moment I'm thinking about replacing the SPX90 with a pedal that can do reverse + hall reverb early in the chain, replacing the String9 with something much more transformative/textural, maybe replacing the freeze, potentially the bluesky, and replacing the Hazarai with a dd-200
Really really stoked with how this turned out!
Chain is: Polytune➡️Rossie➡️Cry Baby➡️Special Request➡️Ego➡️G String II (send to Vezzpa)➡️Lightspeed➡️Protein➡️Kilt 10 (return to G String II)➡️Brigade➡️Grand Orbiter➡️Monument➡️ARP87➡️Golden➡️Fable

lmk what yall think, open to suggestions!
