@mollyjongfast soooo glad!!!
@ambergrey Hope the pedal board is going well. I stumbled on this photo from a poster on Gear Page with two clear rows of pedals. The bottom is the overdrives and goes into front of amp (left input) and the back row is delays and choruses and they go from and back through the effects loop (see blue jackets on end of cords).
@RollingStone @vivienhessel What if the bailees are the small startups that are now without funds for their next payroll? You could ensure that their employees got paid & innovation continues. And not bailout SVB, its management, or shareholders.
(SVB paid bonuses to management in the days and hours before failure. Some went to deserving SVB assocs. But it’s hard to claw back management’s, so just let them fail since a good portion of management’s wealth is tied up in SVB.)

@dantleech Go for 36!
Washburn EC36 (might not fit the “budget” part of your constraints).

@ambergrey Nice one! A few other thoughts for you as you put this together:
- an isolated power supply will help with hum and hiss
- some pedals need more power than others. A TC Electronic Ditto X4 looper needs more amps than most pedals. I’ve seen power supplies that only have one level outputs. (All 9V are not the same!)
- most pedals are “center negative”, but not all; be careful!
- nearly all noise issues are related to ground issues. RF shielding much less an issue.
@ambergrey Having enough space to move things around and put them in different order is also critical. Different songs and tonal desires/reqs will make you want to move the delay pedals in front of (or behind) drive pedals, reposition fuzz or compression, etc. It gets complicated quickly!
Have you watched “That Pedal Show” on YouTube? Great stuff. Search YT for “wet dry that pedal show” and watch any of the ones that pop up.
@rbreich @killfile @PlayItSlow Consensus would be President Joe…Manchin. Biden? Won the majority vote but unacceptable to the right. Trump? Lost and unacceptable to the left. Who then? Someone both side grudgingly accept. Maybe a Joe Manchin. Consensus means the politician gets 100% of the vote.
Not practical of course, but that’s what people mean by consensus.
@ambergrey Regardless of which board or power supply you end up getting, think of building two rows of pedals, each feeding separately into the amp. (Need an amp effects loop!) The 1st row comes from your guitar, through a tuner and your gain/drive pedals then to the front of the amp. Your 2nd row would have all of your modulation pedals (chorus, flange, reverb, delay, …) and would go through the effects loop in your amp. This setup could influence the type of pedalboard to buy.
@juddlegum I hope some day you’ll join us, and leave that bird app to Elon.
