Effect Pedals used on my Current "Live" Pedalboard
These are a list of the effects pedals i run on my live pedalboard. I love every one of these pedals and can highly recommend any of them for anyone looking for a new pedal for their board.
I love this compressor. I was running a Walrus Audio Deep Six before this (which is also a great compressor... based off an 1176), but swapped out to this and have been happy ever since. I love the ability to run the compressed and uncompressed signa...
Universal Audio UAFX 1176 Studio Compressor Pedal
I've been running this for light gain use. I swap between a myriad guitars and have the tone set to tame some of the "boomy-ness" when running humbuckers while setting the gain for that "on the edge of breakup" sound. It's a great pedal to have in th...
EarthQuaker Devices Plumes Small Signal Shredder Overdrive Pedal
I've been running this pedal to add extra push into my higher-gain drive pedals. A very solid pedal for adding an extra little bit of "that something" to your tone, or adding extra "oomph" (technical term... lol) to a drive pedal.
DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 Pedal
This, undoubtedly, is my favorite overdrive pedal made. I run the mkI version (which just has one gain stage channel... they added a second B-channel to the mkII version for another gain stage). This overdrive is based of the audio section from the o...
Walrus Audio 385 Overdrive MkII Effects Pedal
This wah is wonderful. I am not the biggest fan of really "clacky" wahs, but this wah has a slightly darker tone in the toe-down position with a subtle sweep (so you do not get the quack you get from other wahs). This is a great wah for those that do...
Dunlop JB95 Joe Bonamassa Signature Cry Baby Wah Pedal
I'm a sucker for fuzz. This has been a great fuzz to give that "Russian Fuzz" tone without busting the bank. I've tried different fuzz pedals, on my board, over the years but wound up going back to this fuzz due to it's sound.
Electro-Harmonix Green Russian Big Muff Pi Fuzz Pedal
I've been running this on my board for many years. I used a "direct drive" volume pedal from Dunlop prior, but swapped over to this (even though, yes, they do have that string that can eventually wear out). Despite the string "pitfall" that many peop...
Ernie Ball 6180 VP JR 250K Volume Pedal for Passive Electronics
This is a solid and reliable tuner pedal. I've been running this for many years on my live board. I love that when you strum through each string, it will give a readout of each string on the display... super nice to know when you are out and need to ...
TC Electronic PolyTune 3 Noir Mini Polyphonic Tuning Pedal
This is a great rotary/vibrato (with both modern and vintage modes for the vibrato). I love that the button can be held down to speed up the effect. I have this currently set up on vibrato, but used to have it on a slow rotary setting (using that wit...
DigiTech Ventura Vibe Effect Pedal
A lot of people see the "Smorgasbord of Tone" series of pedals by TC Electronic to be cheap pedals, but they do offer some great price per tone value. This pedal will give you Boss Dimension-C vibes at a fraction of the price. This is great for Dream...
TC Electronic 3rd Dimension Chorus Pedal
This is a great tremolo pedal. I use the mkI version of this pedal. This version keeps all the features, but in a smaller footprint. I love the harmonic tremolo setting on this and use it to give subtle movements to my tone.
Walrus Audio Monumental Stereo Harmonic Tap Tremolo
I love having octave for adding texture to my ambient tones. The POG has been a staple in the octave pedal game for many years. I love having the slider controls to specifically tailor my sound, but also love being able to save presets so i don't hav...
Electro-Harmonix POG2 Polyphonic Octave Generator Pedal
I've gone through many delay pedals over the years (all of which I have loved), but couldn't be happier with the D1 Delay from Walrus Audio's Mako Series. I do a lot of ambient/atmospheric styles and this has some really interesting delay options for...
Walrus Audio Mako MKII D1 High-fidelity Stereo Delay Pedal
I love using this delay pedal on my board. I have the Walrus D1 on as well, but use this for more "on the verge of self-oscillating" tones to give me a pad-like sound underneath my playing... adding to that extra little bit of ethereal ambience. This...
Walrus Audio ARP-87 Multifunction Delay Pedal
This has been my go-to ambient reverb pedal for some time now. I love this pedal and the tones i am able to pull from it. This is a solid option for any ambient players looking for that "cavernous" reverb tone.
Afterneath V3 Reverb Pedal
This has become my swiss army knife for reverbs. This will do everything from simple spring-style reverb to super ambient reverb. This is a solid option for anyone wanting a "do-it-all" reverb pedal.
Walrus Audio Mako MKII R1 High-Fidelity Stereo Reverb Pedal
Pedalboard Chassis used for my Current "Live" Pedalboard
This is the pedalboard chassis that I use to mount all my pedals and power supplies to.
I run all my pedals on this board. I'm still holding fast to the "large pedalboard" format due to the various styles of music I have to play at any given moment. This is a great large-format pedalboard with plenty of space for power supplies undernea...
Pedaltrain Classic Pro SC 32x16-inch Pedalboard with Soft Case
Power Supplies used for my Current "Live" Pedalboard
Pedal power is not a sexy subject, but is very important for your tone and safely powering your pedals.
Pedal power is not a sexy subject, but is very important to keeping clean tone and reliable power going to your pedals. I have never been let down by VooDoo Labs and have been running this power supply for years without issues.
Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 PLUS 8-output Isolated Guitar Pedal Power Supply
This is the other pedal power supply that I run underneath my board. Having a large-format board, I need to run two power supplies. Running good power to your pedals is important for both tone (noisy/non-isolated power supplies can add noise to your ...
