I started playing guitar at 10 years old. Played a LOT until age 27. Then lost enthusiasm when all my guitars were stolen. Occasionally strummed a bit over the years after that, Wife had a guitar but never played. I'm now 64 years old. Bought a guitar a couple of weeks ago. I still know the chords, but don't remember how to play any songs. No calluses, arthritic fingers. Picking up a few songs, I now remember a progression of chords I used as exercise. Also have built my first pedal board. These videos help.

If you're using velcro, use painter's tape on the bottom of your pedal before applying a blow dryer to the velcro and then applying it to the tape and not the metal/plastic directly. Will save your pedals' value and appearance over time.

It blows my mind that the majority of people are still using traditional Velcro. Switched to dual lock 15 years ago and never looked back. It’s super strong so you don’t need much, just a small tab in each corner of the pedal. I can actually grab a given pedal on my board and lift the board with it. It’s that strong. Pedals can still be easily lifted off the board by sliding a small screwdriver under the pedal and prying upward.

@Petanifer
@Petanifer Год назад
It’s overkill. Velcro looks better. Never had a problem with Velcro. If I’m building a pedalboard on my ceiling I’ll buy some otherwise it’s the most unnecessary “improvement” to a pedalboard which just makes it ugly and incompatible.

blows my mind is a bit of an overstatement. i dont gig so i dont need to worry about pedals falling off and effers stealing pedals. p-boards get dirty and velcro can be vacuumed easily (if one is smart and has taped the soft side on the board). dust and hair/fur and grime do not vacuum easily off dual lock 🤢. i agree with the CS series and EB ribbon cables though--both are excellent, affordable prods.

This is by far the BEST video on pedalboards out there. I've watched several videos before I started building my own wooden board covered in musou black, and I came back specifically to write this comment. Of all videos, the five tips of this one were golden. For each tip, I'd like to share my experiences and choices based on what is available in Europe. I am NOT advertising for any of these products. 1. After considering the selection criteria, I went for the Palmer PWT 12 Mk 2. 2. I'm a sucker for braided patch cables, so I always have been using HQ ones. But I'm grateful to have learnt of Mogami. 3. I got convinced I need a buffer and opted for a Car Martin Buff DeLuxe. 4. I got a roll of 3M Dual Lock SJ 3550 (4 m x 5 cm / 15' x 2" / 2 sq. m / 310 sq. in.). If you find the right supplier, it's only slightly more expensive than when you buy 3 rolls of Velcro to get the same surface area. 5. I bought a can of DeoxIT D5; a reseller on Amazon offers it in Europe. Additional tips for DIY: 6. If you build your own board, you'll want to use adjustable levelling feet. 7. To make sure cables don't touch the ground, affix them to the bottom of the board using cable clips or cable holders.

Something I found using EBS vs. those pancake plug patch cables is the latter can have impractically large heads for some applications: you physically can’t plug two of them in next to each other in a lot of switchers, for instance. EBS plugs are a lot smaller and save a lot of headaches of that sort.

Hi Mason. Thanks for this helpful video. I'm building my first board - a Pedaltrain Nano+. Would you put a single strip of DualLock across the top and bottom lengths of board, or just little squares that align with the DualLock squares on each pedal? Long strips on the board would make it easier for rearranging pedals. Thoughts?

Nice, I had an analog chorus who was very picky with the PS, I ended building my own linear supply, I used an unregulated 12V wallwart connected to a box near the pedal board with a LM7809 regulator inside, because it was a wallwart there was no AC near the board. no more hum.

You're right, I use EBS patch cables and they are just very good and a good power supply is also the right thing, Cioks is a good alternative and they are not so pricy at all. I don't use buffers, maybe I must try one.
@VertexEffectsInc
@VertexEffectsInc 3 года назад
Real soldered cables are better - but these are superior to a low profile Solderless for sure. You have buffers where you know it or not - any pedal turned on - true bypass or not - is a buffer.

You almost forgot about the Suhr Buffer, that's a great one, too. Although for guitars running a stereo rig, it only applies to the output side, and if you're a bassist like Billy Sheehan that splits the signal from the instrument, but only have one output on the bass, this buffer will be usuable to split the signal for different frequencies.
@VertexEffectsInc

Didn't forget, it's just not the most budget friendly version, and I'm trying to recommend stuff for beginners and folks just getting their "sea legs" with this stuff. Secondly, it's not in production from what I can see.

I realize that the order of effects pedals can vary , can you give me your opinion of my pedals placement, if they are in the correct order sequence : Guitar into a Sonic Research Turbo tuner ST 300 , Gamechanger PLUS sustainer , Wampler ego , Analog man king of tones , Boss D-S1 , Morley little alligator volume Pedal , TC Flashback , TC HOF , Into a fender pro junior .

Great video. How would you handle buffers when you have a tone bender style circuit at the begging game? Put it after? Also...does a Strymon buffer do that trick at the end? Or would you buffer after the Strymon as well?
@VertexEffectsInc
@VertexEffectsInc 3 года назад
Put the input buffer after the Fuzz. Strymon has fairly low output impedance, around 100 ohms, which is good.

Regarding buffers, I'm using an hx stomp as my amp, at the end of my chain with my wet effects in the fx loop of the stomp. From there I run out to xlrs/direct boxes. The first pedal on the board is a Boss TU3. My question, do I still need a buffer going into the stomp?
@VertexEffectsInc
@VertexEffectsInc 2 года назад
If everything is on the board I'd really just worry about the input buffer...Boss isn't great but better than nothing. You could upgrade there.

PRF sprays are just as good, 6-68 is a good dry cleaner for jacks and connectors, 7-78 is what you want for pots and faders. If you have a really dirty pot, I recommend cleaning it first with 6-68, and finishing it off with 7-78, as the lubricant can otherwise flood the pot.

@VertexEffectsInc
@VertexEffectsInc 2 года назад
You can, you just have to leave it "ON" for it to be a buffer. The buffer quality of the Tuner is not comparable to the MXR in terms of quality and efficiency. Remember not all buffers are created equally, just like not all overdrives are a Klon.

It’s one option, however the output impedance isn’t particularly good, I don’t recall with the input impedances, it might be OK if it’s just controlling your pick up a loading, but I wouldn’t recommend it as a line driver. The other problem is it inverts the polarity, which can be an issue in some rigs.

@@scottpickett9779 you need a high quality buffer on your input and output of your system as I suggest, no way around that. It needs to have a 1M input impedance and a 100 ohm output impedance if you want to quality it (generally - there are some exceptions). The Klon is a great overdrive (Soul Food), the buffer is awful - TL072 is a terrible IC for this application. Follow my suggestions, you'll get better results.

I'd try it and see what you like. A lot of guys in the 80's liked Delay after Reverb, most guys now put it before - so you can experiment. I personally don't like modulation in the loop, I prefer it in front of the amplifier, but you can experiment with that too. I'd put it' before delay and reverb if you use it in the loop.

You still need an input buffer (controlling your pickup loading) at 1M input impedance at a minimum. If your Reverb pedal is buffered or always on, it depends on the output impedance and how good of a line driver it is.
